Strange Clots
Since mid-2021, unusual, lengthy blood clots found in the vessels of COVID-19 patients and jab recipients have been reported across the world.

“We as embalmers are seeing some strange clots since the COVID outbreak. These clots are very rubbery feeling and very long as they exit the veins that we use during the embalming procedure. They really appear to be like earthworms. I have never seen this in my career until now,” Larry Mills, a licensed embalmer and funeral director in the State of Alabama, told The Epoch Times.

Other embalmers confirmed similar findings and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Richard Hirschman, Alabama funeral director and embalmer since 2001, was one of the first to bring attention to this phenomenon. He said that prior to COVID perhaps 5 to 10 percent of people had these clots. Now more than half of the bodies he sees have them.

One embalmer, licensed since 2001, said in an interview, “I can tell you with certainty that the clots Richard has shown online are a phenomenon that I have not witnessed until probably the middle of last year. That is pretty much all I have to say about it. I have no knowledge as to what is causing the clots, but they did seemingly start showing up around the middle of 2021.”

Where do these strange, fibrous clots come from? How do they form?

A Condition With Over 200 Symptoms​

Doctors have realized, since the early days of the pandemic, that COVID-19 is not just a lung disease, but also an endothelial and vascular disease.

Physicians have summarized a list of unusual clinical observations of COVID-19 including but not limited to severely hypoxic (low oxygen) patients despite relatively normal lung compliance upon examination, thrombotic complications, and consistent autopsy findings of blood clots (thrombi) in the microcirculation of the lung.

After an acute COVID-19 infection, over 200 different lingering symptoms have been reported for long COVID, which can persist for about 6–24 months.

This is perhaps the largest number of symptoms reported with a medical condition so far.

The most frequent symptoms include breathlessness, fatigue, brain fog, cognitive dysfunction, muscle aches and pains (myalgia), sleeping difficulties, and anxiety or depression.

The chronic, relapsing nature of long COVID is mainly caused by immune dysregulation, hyperinflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

But how could it be, and why? Clues have emerged since 2020.

Blood Clots Causing Symptoms​

In November 2020, a report with findings of increased microclots in COVID-19 patients versus healthy or diabetic patients could reasonably explain the breathlessness, fatigue, and post-exertional malaise syndrome.




Moreover, a large scale cohort UK study based on 48 million adults in England and Wales found that in the first week after a COVID-19 diagnosis, the risk of an arterial blood clot was nearly 22 times higher than in someone without COVID-19, and 33 times higher for a venous clot condition.

An artery clot is the kind that could cause a heart attack or ischemic stroke by blocking blood flow to the heart or brain.

This has led to an estimated 10,500 additional cases of clot-related problems, i.e. about 7,200 additional heart attacks or strokes, and 3,500 additional cases of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or other venous problems.

Even though that risk drops sharply to less than four times higher than someone without COVID in the second week, it remains high (2x) even up to 49 weeks after the initial diagnosis. This is especially so in regards to the risk of deep vein thrombosis. These are clots that form in large veins.

Spike Protein: The First Domino Toppled​

Blood is a liquid that circulates under pressure through the blood vessels in our whole body, like the water flowing through the house that you then use to shower, do the dishes, and so on.

Following a vascular injury, any blood “leaking out” must rapidly be converted into a gel (a “clot”) to fill in the hole and minimize further blood loss.

Normally, the plasma portion of blood contains a collection of soluble proteins that act together in a series of enzyme activation events that result in the formation of a fibrin clot. This process is protective, as it prevents excessive blood loss following injury.

Unfortunately, the blood clotting mechanism can also lead to unwanted blood clots inside blood vessels (pathologic thrombosis), e.g. heart attack or stroke, both of which are a leading cause of disability and death in the world.

COVID-19’s way of causing abnormal blood clots has spurred many discussions since early 2020.

It appears that the virus’s unique spike protein triggers the cascade via many “non-traditional” pathways.

The spike protein’s direct invasion of the epithelium cells is the first domino toppled.

Subsequent cascade effects finally cause the blood clotting.

Spike Protein Impairs Epithelium Cells​

SARS-CoV-2 enters our cells via a protein receptor called the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).

Endothelial cells (ECs), express an abundance of ACE2. ECs reside on the inner surface of every blood vessel across our entire body, making them a direct target of the virus infection.

Studies showed that spike protein itself can damage the structure and function of ECs, including impairing the mitochondria and downregulating the protective molecule ACE2 on ECs.

Researchers observed that both the S1 and S2 parts of the spike protein can induce human ECs to express a peak of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL6, IL1B, TNF-alpha, and chemokines CXCL1, and CXCL2).

Subsequently, the release of cytokines initiates the switch-like molecule (E-selectin) on the endothelial cell membrane, allowing them to attach with immune cells, thereby initiating subsequent disease processes.

Additional studies on the spike protein showed that it activates the EC inflammation dependent on integrin ⍺5β1 and NF-κB signaling pathways and subsequent expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules.

Cytokines are small proteins secreted by cells (mainly T cells and macrophages). They have many specific names, and serve as a communicator between cells (cell signaling) for further action. Cytokines are the “mailmen” of the body that connect and communicate between cells.

The spike protein can induce a breakdown of connecting proteins between endothelial cells of blood vessels, which disrupts the integrity and function of our blood vessels.

Brain ECs also strongly express ACE2. Spike protein has similar toxic effects on brain ECs, inducing neurological symptoms (brain fog, cognitive decline).

Spike Proteins Trigger the Clotting Cascade​

Many other cells, including lung epithelial cells, enterocytes lining the small intestines, and cardiac pericytes, all express ACE2.

Spike proteins don’t only activate epithelial cells (EC) and promote localized inflammation. They also promote systemic inflammation as ACE2 is almost everywhere inside our major organs and tissues.

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

Consequently, more pro-inflammatory genes are expressed. More and more immune cells are attracted and sent to the injured or infected tissues (vessels in the lung, heart, gut, etc).

A number of subsequent events collectively contribute to the clotting cascade:

1. Complement-mediated inflammation of epitheliums (endothelialitis): Spike proteins docking on ACE2 ECs activates the complement pathway and coagulation cascade, resulting in a systemic endothelialitis (lung injury) and procoagulant state (tendency to develop blood clots).
2. As the complement destroys the endothelium, the procoagulant von Willebrand factor (vWF) and FVIII are released. A significant increase of vWF can form multimers that promote thrombus growth. vWF is secreted mainly from endothelial cells and from a-granules of platelets (megakaryocytes derived). This is comparable to the string in the “beads and string” of a necklace where the beads represent platelets.
3. Platelet storm: Platelets are a small fragment of the megakaryocytes. The complement anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a activate platelets and increase the production of tissue factor further promoting a clotting forming state.
   ACE2 receptors are present on platelets, and this may contribute to the massive platelet aggregation, which is a characteristic of severe COVID-19 infection.
4. Activation of neutrophils leads to formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a process sometimes referred to as NETosis, which contributes to thrombosis.
5. EC injury is compounded by toll-like receptor (TLR) activation by viral RNA recognition, with resulting increased reactive oxidative species (ROS) production. The increased ROS further upregulates the expression of vWF.
6. Spike protein can induce expression and secretion of a series of clotting proteins which cascades into the clotting process, including factor (F)-V, thrombin, and fibrinogen to promote clotting process.

Spike Protein Dysregulates RAAS, Worsening the Clotting State​

Due to the spike protein directly interacting with ACE2 expression, COVID-19 patients showed an elevated level of serum angiotensin II indicating a dysregulation of the RAA system (renin angiotensin aldosterone system, or RAAS).

Traditionally, people think angiotensin II is a neurohormone that stimulates the constriction of vascular smooth muscle cells and is responsible for salt and water balance.

However, there have been abundant studies supporting the idea that angiotensin II is capable of initiating and upregulating inflammatory responses, worsening the clotting state.




In a regulated and self-limited immune response, these mechanisms help to calm down the local injury, with subsequent healing and returning to a resting EC state.

However, for predisposed COVID-19 patients or vaccinated people, the factors strengthening clot formation are way heavier than healing mechanisms, all of which lead to an escalating thrombotic cascade.

Here is a short summary of the first scene of the clot story: spike induced endothelial disruption, massive amounts of vWF released, a subsequent platelet storm, hypoxia induced upregulation and activation of vWF, fibrous network from neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), as well as increased angiotensin II level, all adding up to initiate thrombogenesis.

This is how the clotting mechanism comes to be. Furthermore, the upcoming second scene takes another pivotal part in the whole story.

A COVID vaccine instructs the cells to produce large quantities of spike proteins. Normal biochemical and physiological processes are “hijacked” in order to make an abnormal amount of these spike proteins.

These abnormal amounts of spike protein have more surprising direct effects on clots.

Spike Proteins Directly Disrupt the Clot Dissolving Mechanism​

In a normal healthy person, the body will, in the presence of a blood clot, break it down by a process of fibrinolysis. This is a natural healing and balancing mechanism to prevent an abundance of blood clots.

During this process, Tissue Plasminogen activator (TPA, coming from the endothelium) helps plasminogen change into plasmin and then generate d-dimer (a small protein fragment left when a blood clot dissolves).

It has been discovered that fibrinogen in blood can clot into an abnormal “amyloid” form of fibrin that (like other β-rich amyloids and prions) is relatively resistant to proteolysis (fibrinolysis).

This is strongly manifested in the platelet-poor plasma (PPP) of individuals with long COVID. The extensive fibrin amyloid microclots can persist.

In an outstanding study by Grobbelaar published in Bioscience Reports in August 2021, the biomarker S1 (or the intruding part of the spike protein) alone can induce fibrin resistance to fibrinolysis, leading to unopposed microclot formation.

When spike protein S1 was added to healthy PPP, it resulted in structural changes to β and γ fibrin(ogen), complement 3, and prothrombin. These proteins were substantially resistant to trypsinization in the presence of spike protein S1.

Hence, the results suggest that the presence of spike protein in circulation may contribute to the hyper clotting status, and may cause substantial impairment of the clot dissolving process.

Such lytic impairment may result in the persistent large microclots that people have reported and which have been found in plasma samples of COVID-19 patients.

These microclots block up capillaries, and thus to limit the passage of red blood cells, and hence oxygen exchange, which can actually underpin the majority of these symptoms.

Spike Proteins Form Amyloid-Like Substance​

Furthermore, to everyone’s surprise again, spike proteins are identified to present seven amyloidogenic sequences and are able to form amyloid-like substances.

In other words, these spike proteins are similar to those beta-amyloid or tau or alpha-synuclein like substances which may cause neuronal loss in Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease patients.

Their structure makes it easy to form tighter string-like bonded structures with longitudinal twisting as well as cross binding, forming a fibrous-like structure visible under the microscope.

Researchers have found that plasma samples from long COVID patients still contain large anomalous (amyloid) deposits (microclots), which are resistant to fibrinolysis (compared to plasma from controls and diabetes), even after trypsinization (cell dissociation after an enzyme breaks down proteins).

After a second trypsinization, the persistent pellet deposits (microclots) were solubilized. Various inflammatory molecules substantially increased in both the supernatant and trapped in the solubilized pellet deposits of COVID-19, versus that of the control samples.

Of particular interest was a substantial increase in α(2)-antiplasmin (α2AP), various fibrinogen chains, as well as Serum Amyloid A (SAA) that were trapped in the solubilized fibrinolytic-resistant pellet deposits.

Significant abnormal amyloid microclot formation that are resistant to fibrinolysis, increased α2AP, and the surge of acute phase inflammatory molecules may therefore be central contributors in both COVID-19 infection and as well as COVID vaccine-related syndrome.

Spike Protein Inhibits Another Anti-Clot Mechanism​

Spike protein is just one surprise after another.

It’s been reported that the spike protein can competitively inhibit the bindings of antithrombin and heparin cofactor II to heparin, causing abnormal increase in thrombin (clotting) activity.

SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins at a similar concentration (~10 μg/mL) as the viral load in critically ill patients can directly cause blood coagulation and thrombosis in the zebrafish model.

To summarize, these unexpected negative effects of spike protein on the dissolving process of blood clots, plus its amyloid nature, all may be the key contributory factors to the abnormal, lengthy fibrous clots observed in COVID-related conditions.

Spike Protein Is the Smoking Gun​

There is clinical evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein has been detected in clots retrieved from COVID-19 patients with acute ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction.

Recent research conducted by cardiologists from the University of Colorado sheds light on the crucial role of spike protein in the pathology of COVID and COVID vaccine-related injuries.

They analyzed seven COVID-19 patients and six mRNA vaccinated patients with myocardial injury and found nearly identical alterations in gene profiling patterns that would predispose them to clotting state, inflammation, and myocardial dysfunction.

In other words, regardless of whether the myocarditis was caused by the virus or vaccine, the expression of genes responsible for prothrombotic state in response to spike protein, inflammation, and myocardial dysfunction, exhibited similar changes.

Based on gene analysis, COVID-19 and post-mRNA vaccine injury have a common molecular mechanism.

The altered genes pattern includes down-regulation in ACE2, ACE2/ACE ratio, AGTR1, and ITGA5, and up-regulation in ACE and F3 (tissue factor).

What is more alarming and not reported before is that microvascular thrombosis has been found in post-vaccinated patients, indicating that spike protein itself is able to trigger blood clots in susceptible patients.

Tip of the Iceberg​

Based on the causal relation between ChAdOx1-S vaccines (the AstraZeneca adenovirus COVID vaccine) and thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, the product information for ChAdOx1-S has been updated to include thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome as a very rare side effect.

This has been named as vaccine induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), due to the fact that in almost every patient in these reports, high levels of antibodies to platelet factor 4 (PF4)–polyanion complexes were identified in their body.

These unusual blood clots in combination with thrombocytopenia were reported predominantly in women aged under 60 years. Accordingly, several European countries restricted the use of adenovirus vaccines in younger age groups.

This risk has been recently systematically analyzed in an international network cohort study from five European countries and the United States, confirming pooled 30 percent increased risk of thrombocytopenia after a first dose of the ChAdOx1-S vaccine, as well as a trend towards an increased risk of venous thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome after Ad26.COV2.S (the Janssen COVID vaccine) compared with BNT162b2 (the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine).

However this may be only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more events that could be attributed to the clotting issues including sudden death, cardiovascular events, cardiac death, stroke, disabilities, thrombotic events, etc.

Blood vessels are in all our organs. The vessel problems could explain a wide range of symptoms from the dysfunction to mild decline of our brain, heart, lung, and extremities.

‘Good Morning CHD’ Episode 173: Are Vaccines Driving Virus Mutation?​

1 hour 5 min 54 sec

At around 45 minutes he talked about his prediction for the summer for the virulent mutation. My notes of that part of the discussion: Predicted this outcome for the summer. What he learned - immune system is resilent. It can compensate for some time, so delays the process. Ultimately, end stage remains the same. What we see now, based on the mutations, it is almost completely resistant to non-neutralizing antibodies, we have reached the last stage of immune pressure on viral virulence. Doesn't know how long it will last, now the mutations will start to play with the glycans ie; the sugars on the virus. They will be rearranged to overcome pressure on virulence. How long will it take for the sugars to overcome the non-neutralizing antibodies, but the evolution he observed over the last few months, is exponential, going faster, and faster, and scale of mutations is becoming larger.

Thanks for that synopsis. Guess it's only a matter of time. Evidently the booster will actually boost the virulence.

Dr Haider!
That’s the doctor DH and I get our meds from!

The staff is so kind!

My sister and her husband both have Covid right now, he’s feeling pretty bad.
Vaxxed once when the shot first came out.
They both are coughing terribly.

No smell, barely any taste. I’m worried in general but they both have lung and health issues.

The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream lead by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies.[3,6,57] We have witnessed a long list of unprecedented intrusions into medical practice, including attacks on medical experts, destruction of medical careers among doctors refusing to participate in killing their patients and a massive regimentation of health care, led by non-qualified individuals with enormous wealth, power and influence.

For the first time in American history a president, governors, mayors, hospital administrators and federal bureaucrats are determining medical treatments based not on accurate scientifically based or even experience based information, but rather to force the acceptance of special forms of care and “prevention”—including remdesivir, use of respirators and ultimately a series of essentially untested messenger RNA vaccines. For the first time in history medical treatment, protocols are not being formulated based on the experience of the physicians treating the largest number of patients successfully, but rather individuals and bureaucracies that have never treated a single patient—including Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, EcoHealth Alliance, the CDC, WHO, state public health officers and hospital administrators.[23,38]

The media (TV, newspapers, magazines, etc), medical societies, state medical boards and the owners of social media have appointed themselves to be the sole source of information concerning this so-called “pandemic”. Websites have been removed, highly credentialed and experienced clinical doctors and scientific experts in the field of infectious diseases have been demonized, careers have been destroyed and all dissenting information has been labeled “misinformation” and “dangerous lies”, even when sourced from top experts in the fields of virology, infectious diseases, pulmonary critical care, and epidemiology. These blackouts of truth occur even when this information is backed by extensive scientific citations from some of the most qualified medical specialists in the world.[23] Incredibly, even individuals, such as Dr. Michael Yeadon, a retired ex-Chief Scientist, and vice-president for the science division of Pfizer Pharmaceutical company in the UK, who charged the company with making an extremely dangerous vaccine, is ignored and demonized. Further, he, along with other highly qualified scientists have stated that no one should take this vaccine.

Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the most cited experts in his field, who has successfully treated over 2000 COVID patients by using a protocol of early treatment (which the so-called experts completely ignored), has been the victim of a particularly vicious assault by those benefiting financially from the vaccines. He has published his results in peer reviewed journals, reporting an 80% reduction in hospitalizations and a 75% reduction in deaths by using early treatment.[44] Despite this, he is under an unrelenting series of attacks by the information controllers, none of which have treated a single patient.

Neither Anthony Fauci, the CDC, WHO nor any medical governmental establishment has ever offered any early treatment other than Tylenol, hydration and call an ambulance once you have difficulty breathing. This is unprecedented in the entire history of medical care as early treatment of infections is critical to saving lives and preventing severe complications. Not only have these medical organizations and federal lapdogs not even suggested early treatment, they attacked anyone who attempted to initiate such treatment with all the weapons at their disposal—loss of license, removal of hospital privileges, shaming, destruction of reputations and even arrest.[2]

A good example of this outrage against freedom of speech and providing informed consent information is the recent suspension by the medical board in Maine of Dr. Meryl Nass’ medical license and the ordering of her to undergo a psychiatric evaluation for prescribing Ivermectin and sharing her expertise in this field.[9,65] I know Dr, Nass personally and can vouch for her integrity, brilliance and dedication to truth. Her scientific credentials are impeccable. This behavior by a medical licensing board is reminiscent of the methodology of the Soviet KGB during the period when dissidents were incarcerated in psychiatric gulags to silence their dissent.

OTHER UNPRECEDENTED ATTACKS​

Another unprecedented tactic is to remove dissenting doctors from their positions as journal editors, reviewers and retracting of their scientific papers from journals, even after these papers have been in print. Until this pandemic event, I have never seen so many journal papers being retracted— the vast majority promoting alternatives to official dogma, especially if the papers question vaccine safety. Normally a submitted paper or study is reviewed by experts in the field, called peer review. These reviews can be quite intense and nit picking in detail, insisting that all errors within the paper be corrected before publication. So, unless fraud or some other major hidden problem is discovered after the paper is in print, the paper remains in the scientific literature.

We are now witnessing a growing number of excellent scientific papers, written by top experts in the field, being retracted from major medical and scientific journals weeks, months and even years after publication. A careful review indicates that in far too many instances the authors dared question accepted dogma by the controllers of scientific publications—especially concerning the safety, alternative treatments or efficacy of vaccines.[12,63]

These journals rely on extensive adverting by pharmaceutical companies for their revenue. Several instances have occurred where powerful pharmaceutical companies exerted their influence on owners of these journals to remove articles that in any way question these companies’ products.[13,34,35]

Worse still is the actual designing of medical articles for promoting drugs and pharmaceutical products that involve fake studies, so-called ghostwritten articles.[49,64] Richard Horton is quoted by the Guardian as saying “journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry.”[13,63] Proven fraudulent “ghostwritten” articles sponsored by pharmaceutical giants have appeared regularly in top clinical journals, such as JAMA, and New England Journal of Medicine—never to be removed despite proven scientific abuse and manipulation of data.[49,63]

Ghostwritten articles involve using planning companies whose job it is to design articles containing manipulated data to support a pharmaceutical product and then have these articles accepted by high-impact clinical journals, that is, the journals most likely to affect clinical decision making of doctors.

Further, they supply doctors in clinical practice with free reprints of these manipulated articles. The Guardian found 250 companies engaged in this ghostwriting business. The final step in designing these articles for publication in the most prestigious journals is to recruit well recognized medical experts from prestigious institutions, to add their name to these articles. These recruited medical authors are either paid upon agreeing to add their name to these pre- written articles or they do so for the prestige of having their name on an article in a prestigious medical journal.[11]

Of vital importance is the observation by experts in the field of medical publishing that nothing has been done to stop this abuse. Medical ethicists have lamented that because of this widespread practice “you can’t trust anything.” While some journals insist on disclosure information, most doctors reading these articles ignore this information or excuse it and several journals make disclosure more difficult by requiring the reader to find the disclosure statements at another location. Many journals do not police such statements and omissions by authors are common and without punishment.

As concerns the information made available to the public, virtually all the media is under the control of these pharmaceutical giants or others who are benefitting from this “pandemic”. Their stories are all the same, both in content and even wording. Orchestrated coverups occur daily and massive data exposing the lies being generated by these information controllers are hidden from the public. All data coming over the national media (TV, newspaper and magazines), as well as the local news you watch every day, comes only from “official” sources—most of which are lies, distortions or completely manufactured out of whole cloth—all aimed to deceive the public.

Television media receives the majority of its advertising budget from the international pharmaceutical companies—this creates an irresistible influence to report all concocted studies supporting their vaccines and other so-called treatments.[14] In 2020 alone the pharmaceutical industries spent 6.56 billion dollars on such advertising.[13,14] Pharma TV advertising amounted to 4.58 billion, an incredible 75% of their budget. That buys a lot of influence and control over the media. World famous experts within all fields of infectious diseases are excluded from media exposure and from social media should they in any way deviate against the concocted lies and distortions by the makers of these vaccines. In addition, these pharmaceutical companies spend tens of millions on social media advertising, with Pfizer leading the pack with $55 million in 2020.[14]

While these attacks on free speech are terrifying enough, even worse is the virtually universal control hospital administrators have exercised over the details of medical care in hospitals. These hirelings are now instructing doctors which treatment protocols they will adhere to and which treatments they will not use, no matter how harmful the “approved” treatments are or how beneficial the “unapproved” treatments are.[33,57]

Never in the history of American medicine have hospital administrators dictated to its physicians how they will practice medicine and what medications they can use. The CDC has no authority to dictate to hospitals or doctors concerning medical treatments. Yet, most physicians complied without the slightest resistance.

The federal Care Act encouraged this human disaster by offering all US hospitals up to 39,000 dollars for each ICU patient they put on respirators, despite the fact that early on it was obvious that the respirators were a major cause of death among these unsuspecting, trusting patients. In addition, the hospitals received 12,000 dollars for each patient that was admitted to the ICU—explaining, in my opinion and others, why all federal medical bureaucracies (CDC, FDA, NIAID, NIH, etc) did all in their power to prevent life- saving early treatments.[46] Letting patients deteriorate to the point they needed hospitalization, meant big money for all hospitals. A growing number of hospitals are in danger of bankruptcy, and many have closed their doors, even before this “pandemic”.[50] Most of these hospitals are now owned by national or international corporations, including teaching hospitals.[10]

It is also interesting to note that with the arrival of this “pandemic” we have witnessed a surge in hospital corporate chains buying up a number of these financially at-risk hospitals.[1,54] It has been noted that billions in Federal Covid aid is being used by these hospital giants to acquire these financially endangered hospitals, further increasing the power of corporate medicine over physician independence. Physicians expelled from their hospitals are finding it difficult to find other hospitals staffs to join since they too may be owned by the same corporate giant. As a result, vaccine mandate policies include far larger numbers of hospital employees. For example, Mayo Clinic fired 700 employees for exercising their right to refuse a dangerous, essentially untested experimental vaccine.[51,57] Mayo Clinic did this despite the fact that many of these employees worked during the worst of the epidemic and are being fired when the Omicron variant is the dominant strain of the virus, has the pathogenicity of a common cold for most and the vaccines are ineffective in preventing the infection.

In addition, it has been proven that the vaccinated asymptomatic person has a nasopharyngeal titer of the virus as high as an infected unvaccinated person. If the purpose of the vaccine mandate is to prevent viral spread among the hospital staff and patients, then it is the vaccinated who present the greatest risk of transmission, not the unvaccinated. The difference is that a sick unvaccinated person would not go to work, the asymptomatic vaccinated spreader will.

What we do know is that major medical centers, such as Mayo Clinic, receive tens of millions of dollars in NIH grants each year as well as monies from the pharmaceutical makers of these experimental “vaccines”. In my view, that is the real consideration driving these policies. If this could be proven in a court of law the administrators making these mandates should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and sued by all injured parties.

The hospital bankruptcy problem has grown increasingly acute due to hospitals vaccine mandates and resulting large number of hospitals staff, especially nurses, refusing to be forcibly vaccinated.[17,51] This is all unprecedented in the history of medical care. Doctors within hospitals are responsible for the treatment of their individual patients and work directly with these patients and their families to initiate these treatments. Outside organizations, such as the CDC, have no authority to intervene in these treatments and to do so exposes the patients to grave errors by an organization that has never treated a single COVID-19 patient.

When this pandemic started, hospitals were ordered by the CDC to follow a treatment protocol that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of patients, most of whom would have recovered had proper treatments been allowed.[43,44] The majority of these deaths could have been prevented had doctors been allowed to use early treatment with such products as Ivermectin, hydroxy-chloroquine and a number of other safe drugs and natural compounds. It has been estimated, based on results by physicians treating the most covid patients successfully, that of the 800,000 people that we are told died from Covid, 640,000 could have not only been saved, but could have, in many cases, returned to their pre-infection health status had mandated early treatment with these proven methods been used. This neglect of early treatment constitutes mass murder. That means 160,000 would have actually died, far less than the number dying at the hands of bureaucracies, medical associations and medical boards that refused to stand up for their patients.


Part 1 of 7

Part 2 of 7

According to studies of early treatment of thousands of patients by brave, caring doctors, seventy-five to eighty percent of the deaths could have been prevented.[43,44]

Incredibly, these knowledgeable doctors were prevented from saving these Covid-19 infected people. It should be an embarrassment to the medical profession that so many doctors mindlessly followed the deadly protocols established by the controllers of medicine.

One must also keep in mind that this event never satisfied the criteria for a pandemic. The World Health Organization changed the criteria to make this a pandemic. To qualify for a pandemic status the virus must have a high mortality rate for the vast majority of people, which it didn’t (with a 99.98% survival rate), and it must have no known existing treatments—which this virus had—in fact, a growing number of very successful treatments.

The draconian measures established to contain this contrived “pandemic” have never been shown to be successful, such as masking the public, lockdowns, and social distancing. A number of carefully done studies during previous flu seasons demonstrated that masks, of any kind, had never prevented the spread of the virus among the public.[60]

In fact, some very good studies suggested that the masks actually spread the virus by giving people a false sense of security and other factors, such as the observation that people were constantly breaking sterile technique by touching their mask, improper removal and by leakage of infectious aerosols around the edges of the mask. In addition masks were being disposed of in parking lots, walking trails, laid on tabletops in restaurants and placed in pockets and purses.

Within a few minutes of putting on the mask, a number of pathogenic bacteria can be cultured from the masks, putting the immune suppressed person at a high risk of bacterial pneumonia and children at a higher risk of meningitis.

[16] A study by researchers at the University of Florida cultured over 11 pathogenic bacteria from the inside of the mask worn by children in schools.[40]
It was also known that children were at essentially no risk of either getting sick from the virus or transmitting it.

In addition, it was also known that wearing a mask for over 4 hours (as occurs in all schools) results in significant hypoxia (low blood oxygen levels) and hypercapnia (high CO2 levels), which have a number of deleterious effects on health, including impairing the development of the child’s brain.[4,72,52]

We have known that brain development continues long after the grade school years. A recent study found that children born during the “pandemic” have significantly lower IQs—yet school boards, school principals and other educational bureaucrats are obviously unconcerned.[18]

TOOLS OF THE INDOCTRINATION TRADE​

The designers of this pandemic anticipated a pushback by the public and that major embarrassing questions would be asked. To prevent this, the controllers fed the media a number of tactics, one of the most commonly used was and is the “fact check” scam. With each confrontation with carefully documented evidence, the media “fact checkers” countered with the charge of “misinformation”, and an unfounded “conspiracy theory” charge that was, in their lexicon, “debunked”. Never were we told who the fact checkers were or the source of their “debunking” information—we were just to believe the “fact checkers”. A recent court case established under oath that facebook “fact checkers” used their own staff opinion and not real experts to check “facts”.

[59] When sources are in fact revealed they are invariably the corrupt CDC, WHO or Anthony Fauci or just their opinion. Here is a list of things that were labeled as “myths” and “misinformation” that were later proven to be true.

• The asymptomatic vaccinated are spreading the virus equally as with unvaccinated symptomatic infected.
• The vaccines cannot protect adequately against new variants, such as Delta and Omicron.
• Natural immunity is far superior to vaccine immunity and is most likely lifelong.
• Vaccine immunity not only wanes after several months, but all immune cells are impaired for prolonged periods, putting the vaccinated at a high risk of all infections and cancer.
• COVID vaccines can cause a significant incidence of blood clots and other serious side effects
• The vaccine proponents will demand numerous boosters as each variant appears on the scene.
• Fauci will insist on the covid vaccine for small children and even babies.
• Vaccine passports will be required to enter a business, fly in a plane, and use public transportation
• There will be internment camps for the unvaccinated (as in Australia, Austria and Canada)
• The unvaccinated will be denied employment.
• There are secret agreements between the government, elitist institutions, and vaccine makers
• Many hospitals were either empty or had low occupancy during the pandemic.
• The spike protein from the vaccine enters the nucleus of the cell, altering cell DNA repair function.
• Hundreds of thousands have been killed by the vaccines and many times more have been permanently damaged.
• Early treatment could have saved the lives of most of the 700,000 who died.
• Vaccine-induced myocarditis (which was denied initially) is a significant problem and clears over a short period.
• Special deadly lots (batches) of these vaccines are mixed with the mass of other Covid-19 vaccines

To see the researcher’s explanation, go to Variation in Toxicity of Covid Vaccine Batches In my opinion these examples strongly suggest an intentional alteration of the production of the “vaccine” to include deadly batches.

I have met and worked with a number of people concerned with vaccine safety and I can tell you they are not the evil anti-vaxxers you are told they are. They are highly principled, moral, compassionate people, many of which are top researchers and people who have studied the issue extensively. Robert Kennedy, Jr, Barbara Lou Fisher, Dr. Meryl Nass, Professor Christopher Shaw, Megan Redshaw, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Neil Z. Miller, Dr. Lucija Tomjinovic, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, Dr. Steve Kirsch and Dr. Peter McCullough just to name a few. These people have nothing to gain and a lot to lose. They are attacked viciously by the media, government agencies, and elite billionaires who think they should control the world and everyone in it.

WHY DID FAUCI WANT NO AUTOPSIES OF THOSE WHO DIED AFTER VACCINATION?​

There are many things about this “pandemic” that are unprecedented in medical history. One of the most startling is that at the height of the pandemic so few autopsies, especially total autopsies, were being done. A mysterious virus was rapidly spreading around the world, a selected group of people with weakened immune systems were getting seriously ill and many were dying and the one way we could rapidly gain the most knowledge about this virus—an autopsy, was being discouraged.

Guerriero noted that by the end of April, 2020 approximately 150,000 people had died, yet there were only 16 autopsies performed and reported in the medical literature.[24] Among these, only seven were complete autopsies, the remaining 9 being partial or by needle biopsy or incisional biopsy. Only after 170,000 deaths by Covid-19 and four months into the pandemic were the first series of autopsies actually done, that is, more than ten. And only after 280,000 deaths and another month, were the first large series of autopsies performed, some 80 in number.[22] Sperhake, in a call for autopsies to be done without question, noted that the first full autopsy reported in the literature along with photomicrographs appeared in a medico-legal journal from China in February 2020.[41,68] Sperhake expressed confusion as to why there was a reluctance to perform autopsies during the crisis, but he knew it was not coming from the pathologists. The medical literature was littered with appeals by pathologist for more autopsies to be performed.[58] Sperhake further noted that the Robert Koch Institute (The German health monitoring system) at least initially advised against doing autopsies. He also knew that at the time 200 participating autopsy institutions in the United States had done at least 225 autopsies among 14 states.

Some have claimed that this dearth of autopsies was based on the government’s fear of infection among the pathologists, but a study of 225 autopsies on Covid-19 cases demonstrated only one case of infection among the pathologist and this was concluded to have been an infection contracted elsewhere.[19] Guerriero ends his article calling for more autopsies with this observation: “Shoulder to shoulder, clinical and forensic pathologists overcame the obstructions of autopsy studies in Covid-19 victims and hereby generated valuable knowledge on the pathophysiology of the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 and the human body, thus contributing to our understanding of the disease.”[24]

Suspicion concerning the worldwide reluctance of nations to allow full post mortem studies of Covid-19 victims may be based on the idea that it was more than by chance. There are at least two possibilities that stand out. First, those leading the progression of this “non-pandemic” event into a perceived worldwide “deadly pandemic”, were hiding an important secret that autopsies could document. Namely, just how many of the deaths were actually caused by the virus? To implement draconian measures, such as mandated mask wearing, lockdowns, destruction of businesses, and eventually mandated forced vaccination, they needed very large numbers of covid-19 infected dead. Fear would be the driving force for all these destructive pandemic control programs.

Elder et al in his study classified the autopsy findings into four groups.[22]

1. Certain Covid-19 death
2. Probably Covid-19 death
3. Possible Covid-19 death
4. Not associated with Covid-19, despite the positive test.

What possibly concerned or even terrified the engineers of this pandemic was that autopsies just might, and did, show that a number of these so-called Covid-19 deaths in truth died of their comorbid diseases. In the vast majority of autopsy studies reported, pathologists noted multiple comorbid conditions, most of which at the extremes of life could alone be fatal. Previously it was known that common cold viruses had an 8% mortality in nursing homes.

In addition, valuable evidence could be obtained from the autopsies that would improve clinical treatments and could possibly demonstrate the deadly effect of the CDC mandated protocols all hospitals were required to follow, such as the use of respirators and the deadly, kidney-destroying drug remdesivir. The autopsies also demonstrated accumulating medical errors and poor-quality care, as the shielding of doctors in intensive care units from the eyes of family members inevitably leads to poorer quality care as reported by several nurses working in these areas.[53-55]

As bad as all this was, the very same thing is being done in the case of Covid vaccine deaths—very few complete autopsies have been done to understand why these people died, that is, until recently. Two highly qualified researchers, Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi a microbiologist and highly qualified expert in infectious disease and Dr. Arne Burkhardt, a pathologist who is a widely published authority having been a professor of pathology at several prestigious institutions, recently performed autopsies on 15 people having died after vaccination. What they found explains why so many are dying and experiencing organ damage and deadly blood clots.[5]

Part 3 of 7

Several of these claims by those opposing these vaccines now appear on the CDC website—most still identified as “myths”. Today, extensive evidence has confirmed that each of these so-called “myths” were in fact true. Many are even admitted by the “saint of vaccines”, Anthony Fauci. For example, we were told, even by our cognitively impaired President, that once the vaccine was released all the vaccinated people could take off their masks. Oops! We were told shortly afterward— the vaccinated have high concentrations (titers) of the virus in their noses and mouths (nasopharynx) and can transmit the virus to others in which they come into contact—especially their own family members. On go the masks once again— in fact double masking is recommended. The vaccinated are now known to be the main superspreaders of the virus and hospitals are filled with the sick vaccinated and people suffering from serious vaccine complications.[27,42,45]

Another tactic by the vaccine proponents is to demonize those who reject being vaccinated for a variety of reasons. The media refers to these critically thinking individuals as “anti-vaxxers”, “vaccine deniers”, “Vaccine resisters”, “murders”, “enemies of the greater good” and as being the ones prolonging the pandemic. I have been appalled by the vicious, often heartless attacks by some of the people on social media when a parent or loved one relates a story of the terrible suffering and eventual death, they or their loved one suffered as a result of the vaccines. Some psychopaths tweet that they are glad that the loved one died or that the dead vaccinated person was an enemy of good for telling of the event and should be banned. This is hard to conceptualize. This level of cruelty is terrifying, and signifies the collapse of a moral, decent, and compassionate society.

It is bad enough for the public to sink this low, but the media, political leaders, hospital administrators, medical associations and medical licensing boards are acting in a similar morally dysfunctional and cruel way.

LOGIC, REASONING, AND SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE HAS DISAPPEARED IN THIS EVENT​

Has scientific evidence, carefully done studies, clinical experience and medical logic had any effect on stopping these ineffective and dangerous vaccines?

Absolutely not! The draconian efforts to vaccinate everyone on the planet continues (except the elite, postal workers, members of Congress and other insiders).[31,62]

In the case of all other drugs and previous conventional vaccines under review by the FDA, the otherwise unexplained deaths of 50 or less individuals would result in a halt in further distribution of the product, as happened on 1976 with the swine flu vaccine. With over 18,000 deaths being reported by the VAERS system for the period December 14, 2020 and December 31st, 2021 as well as 139,126 serious injuries (including deaths) for the same period there is still no interest in stopping this deadly vaccine program.[61] Worse, there is no serious investigation by any government agency to determine why these people are dying and being seriously and permanently injured by these vaccines.[15,67] What we do see is a continuous series of coverups and evasions by the vaccine makers and their promoters.

The war against effective cheap and very safe repurposed drugs and natural compounds, that have proven beyond all doubt to have saved millions of lives all over the world, has not only continued but has stepped up in intensity.[32,34,43]

Doctors are told they cannot provide these life-saving compounds for their patients and if they do, they will be removed from the hospital, have their medical license removed or be punished in many other ways. A great many pharmacies have refused to fill prescriptions for lvermectin or hydroxy- chloroquine, despite the fact that millions of people have taken these drugs safely for over 60 years in the case of hydroxy chloroquine and decades for Ivermectin.[33,36] This refusal to fill prescriptions is unprecedented and has been engineered by those wanting to prevent alternative methods of treatment, all based on protecting vaccine expansion to all. Several companies that make hydroxy chloroquine agreed to empty their stocks of the drug by donating them to the Strategic National Stockpile, making this drug far more difficult to get.[33] Why would the government do that when over 30 well-done studies have shown that this drug reduced deaths anywhere from 66% to 92% in other countries, such as India, Egypt, Argentina, France, Nigeria, Spain, Peru, Mexico, and others?[23]

The critics of these two life-saving drugs are most often funded by Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci, both of which are making millions from these vaccines.[48,15]

To further stop the use of these drugs, the pharmaceutical industry and Bill Gates/Anthony Fauci funded fake research to make the case that hydroxy chloroquine was a dangerous drug and could damage the heart.[34] To make this fraudulent case the researchers administered the sickest of covid patients a near lethal dose of the drug, in a dose far higher than used on any covid patient by Dr. Kory, McCullough and other “real”, and compassionate doctors, physicians who were actually treating covid patients.[23]

The controlled, lap-dog media, of course, hammered the public with stories of the deadly effect of hydroxy- chloroquine, all with a terrified look of fake panic. All these stories of ivermectin dangers were shown to be untrue and some of the stories were incredibly preposterous.[37,43]

The attack on Ivermectin was even more vicious than against hydroxy-chloroquine. All of this, and a great deal more is meticulously chronicled in Robert Kennedy, Jr’s excellent new book—The Real Anthony Fauci. Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.[32] If you are truly concerned with the truth and with all that has occurred since this atrocity started, you must not only read, but study this book carefully. It is fully referenced and covers all topics in great detail. This is a designed human tragedy of Biblical proportions by some of the most vile, heartless, psychopaths in history.

Millions have been deliberately killed and crippled, not only by this engineered virus, but by the vaccine itself and by the draconian measures used by these governments to “control the pandemic spread”. We must not ignore the “deaths by despair” caused by these draconian measures, which can exceed hundreds of thousands. Millions have starved in third world countries as a result. In the United States alone, of the 800,000 who died, claimed by the medical bureaucracies, well over 600,000 of these deaths were the result of the purposeful neglect of early treatment, blocking the use of highly effective and safe repurposed drugs, such as hydroxy-chloroquine and Ivermectin, and the forced use of deadly treatments such as remdesivir and use of ventilators. This does not count the deaths of despair and neglected medical care caused by the lockdown and hospital measures forced on healthcare systems.

To compound all this, because of vaccine mandates among all hospital personnel, thousands of nurses and other hospital workers have resigned or been fired.[17,30,51] This has resulted in critical shortages of these vital healthcare workers and dangerous reductions of ICU beds in many hospitals.

In addition, as occurred in the Lewis County Healthcare System, a specialty-hospital system in Lowville, N.Y., closed its maternity unit following the resignation of 30 hospital staff over the state’s disastrous vaccine mandate orders. The irony in all these cases of resignations is that the administrators unhesitatingly accepted these mass staffing losses despite rantings about suffering from short staffing during a “crisis”. This is especially puzzling when we learned that the vaccines did not prevent viral transmission and the present predominant variant is of extremely low pathogenicity.
Go to:

DANGERS OF THE VACCINES ARE INCREASINGLY REVEALED BY SCIENCE​

While most researchers, virologists, infectious disease researchers and epidemiologists have been intimidated into silence, a growing number of high integrity individuals with tremendous expertise have come forward to tell the truth—that is, that these vaccines are deadly.

Most new vaccines must go through extensive safety testing for years before they are approved. New technologies, such as the mRNA and DNA vaccines, require a minimum of 10 years of careful testing and extensive follow-up.

These new so-called vaccines were “tested” for only 2 months and then the results of these safety test were and continue to be kept secret. Testimony before Senator Ron Johnson by several who participated in the 2 months study indicates that virtually no follow-up of the participants of the pre-release study was ever done.[67] Complains of complications were ignored and despite promises by Pfizer that all medical expenses caused by the “vaccines” would be paid by Pfizer, these individuals stated that none were paid.[66] Some medical expenses exceed 100,000 dollars.

As an example of the deception by Pfizer, and the other makers of mRNA vaccines, is the case of 12-year-old Maddie de Garay, who participated in the Pfizer vaccine pre-release safety study. At Sen. Johnson’s presentation with the families of the vaccine injured, her mother told of her child’s recurrent seizures, that she is now confined to a wheelchair, must be tube fed and suffers permanent brain damage. On the Pfizer safety evaluation submitted to the FDA her only side effect is listed as having a “stomachache”. Each person submitted similar horrifying stories.

The Japanese resorted to a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) lawsuit to force Pfizer to release its secret biodistribution study. The reason Pfizer wanted it kept secret is that it demonstrated that Pfizer lied to the public and the regulatory agencies about the fate of the injected vaccine contents (the mRNA enclosed nano-lipid carrier). They claimed that it remained at the site of the injection (the shoulder), when in fact their own study found that it rapidly spread throughout the entire body by the bloodstream within 48 hours.

The study also found that these deadly nano-lipid carriers collected in very high concentrations in several organs, including the reproductive organs of males and females, the heart, the liver, the bone marrow, and the spleen (a major immune organ). The highest concentration was in the ovaries and the bone marrow. These nano-lipid carriers also were deposited in the brain.

Dr. Ryan Cole, a pathologist from Idaho reported a dramatic spike in highly aggressive cancers among vaccinated individuals, (not reported in the Media).

He found a frighteningly high incidence of highly aggressive cancers in vaccinated individuals, especially highly invasive melanomas in young people and uterine cancers in women.[26] Other reports of activation of previously controlled cancers are also appearing among vaccinated cancer patients.[47] Thus far, no studies have been done to confirm these reports, but it is unlikely such studies will be done, at least studies funded by grants from the NIH.

The high concentration of spike proteins found in the ovaries in the biodistribution study could very well impair fertility in young women, alter menstruation, and could put them at an increased risk of ovarian cancer. The high concentration in the bone marrow, could also put the vaccinated at a high risk of leukemia and lymphoma. The leukemia risk is very worrisome now that they have started vaccinating children as young as 5 years of age. No long-term studies have been conducted by any of these makers of Covid-19 vaccines, especially as regards the risk of cancer induction. Chronic inflammation is intimately linked to cancer induction, growth and invasion and vaccines stimulate inflammation.

Cancer patients are being told they should get vaccinated with these deadly vaccines. This, in my opinion, is insane. Newer studies have shown that this type of vaccine inserts the spike protein within the nucleus of the immune cells (and most likely many cell types) and once there, inhibits two very important DNA repair enzymes, BRCA1 and 53BP1, whose duty it is to repair damage to the cell’s DNA.[29] Unrepaired DNA damage plays a major role in cancer.

There is a hereditary disease called xeroderma pigmentosum in which the DNA repair enzymes are defective. These ill-fated individuals develop multiple skin cancers and a very high incidence of organ cancer as a result. Here we have a vaccine that does the same thing, but to a less extensive degree.

One of the defective repair enzymes caused by these vaccines is called BRCA1, which is associated with a significantly higher incidence of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.

It should be noted that no studies were ever done on several critical aspects of this type of vaccine.

• They have never been tested for long term effects
• They have never been tested for induction of autoimmunity
• They have never been properly tested for safety during any stage of pregnancy
• No follow-up studies have been done on the babies of vaccinated women
• There are no long-term studies on the children of vaccinated pregnant women after their birth (Especially as neurodevelopmental milestone occur).
• It has never been tested for effects on a long list of medical conditions:
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Neurodegenerative diseases
  • Neuropsychiatric effects
  • Induction of autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia
  • Long term immune function
  • Vertical transmission of defects and disorders
  • Cancer
  • Autoimmune disorders

Part 4 of 7

Previous experience with the flu vaccines clearly demonstrates that the safety studies done by researchers and clinical doctors with ties to pharmaceutical companies were essentially all either poorly done or purposefully designed to falsely show safety and coverup side effects and complications. This was dramatically demonstrated with the previously mentioned phony studies designed to indicate that hydroxy Chloroquine and Ivermectin were ineffective and too dangerous to use.[34,36,37] These fake studies resulted in millions of deaths and severe health disasters worldwide. As stated, 80% of all deaths were unnecessary and could have been prevented with inexpensive, safe repurposed medications with a very long safety history among millions who have taken them for decades or even a lifetime.[43,44]

It is beyond ironic that those claiming that they are responsible for protecting our health approved a poorly tested set of vaccines that has resulted in more deaths in less than a year of use than all the other vaccines combined given over the past 30 years. Their excuse when confronted was—“we had to overlook some safety measures because this was a deadly pandemic”.[28,46]
In 1986 President Reagan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which gave blanket protection to pharmaceutical makers of vaccines against injury litigation by families of vaccine injured individuals. The Supreme Court, in a 57-page opinion, ruled in favor of the vaccine companies, effectively allowing vaccine makers to manufacture and distribute dangerous, often ineffective vaccines to the population without fear of legal consequences. The court did insist on a vaccine injury compensation system which has paid out only a very small number of rewards to a large number of severely injured individuals. It is known that it is very difficult to receive these awards.

According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, since 1988 the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has agreed to pay 3,597 awards among 19,098 vaccine injured individuals applying amounting to a total sum of $3.8 billion. This was prior to the introduction of the Covid-19 vaccines, in which the deaths alone exceed all deaths related to all the vaccines combined over a thirty-year period.

In 2018 President Trump signed into law the “right-to-try” law which allowed the use of experimental drugs and all unconventional treatments to be used in cases of extreme medical conditions. As we have seen with the refusal of many hospitals and even blanket refusal by states to allow Ivermectin, hydroxy-chloroquine or any other unapproved “official” methods to treat even terminal Covid-19 cases, these nefarious individuals have ignored this law.

Strangely, they did not use this same logic or the law when it came to Ivermectin and Hydroxy Chloroquine, both of which had undergone extensive safety testing by over 30 clinical studies of a high quality and given glowing reports on both efficacy and safety in numerous countries. In addition, we had a record of use for up to 60 years by millions of people, using these drugs worldwide, with an excellent safety record. It was obvious that a group of very powerful people in conjunction with pharmaceutical conglomerates didn’t want the pandemic to end and wanted vaccines as the only treatment option.

Kennedy’s book makes this case using extensive evidence and citations.[14,32]

Dr. James Thorpe, an expert in maternal-fetal medicine, demonstrates that these covoid-19 vaccines given during pregnancy have resulted in a 50-fold higher incidence of miscarriage than reported with all other vaccines combined.[28] When we examine his graph on fetal malformations there was a 144-fold higher incidence of fetal malformation with the Covid-19 vaccines given during pregnancy as compared to all other vaccines combined. Yet, the American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology endorse the safety of these vaccines for all stages of pregnancy and among women breast feeding their babies.

It is noteworthy that these medical specialty groups have received significant funding from Pfizer pharmaceutical company. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, just in the 4th quarter of 2010, received a total of $11,000 from Pfizer Pharmaceutical company alone.[70] Funding from NIH grants are much higher.[20] The best way to lose these grants is to criticize the source of the funds, their products or pet programs. Peter Duesberg, because of his daring to question Fauci’s pet theory of AIDS caused by HIV virus, was no longer awarded any of the 30 grant applications he submitted after going public. Prior to this episode, as the leading authority on retroviruses in the world, he had never been turned down for an NIH grant.[39] This is how the “corrupted” system works, even though much of the grant money comes from our taxes.

HOT LOTS—DEADLY BATCHES OF THE VACCINES​

A new study has now surfaced, the results of which are terrifying.[25] A researcher at Kingston University in London, has completed an extensive analysis of the VAERs data (a subdepartment of the CDC which collects voluntary vaccine complication data), in which he grouped reported deaths following the vaccines according to the manufacturer’s lot numbers of the vaccines. Vaccines are manufactured in large batches called lots. What he discovered was that the vaccines are divided into over 20,000 lots and that one out of every 200 of these batches (lots) is demonstrably deadly to anyone who receives a vaccine from that lot, which includes thousands of vaccine doses.

He examined all manufactured vaccines—Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson (Janssen), etc. He found that among every 200 batches of the vaccine from Pfizer and other makers, one batch of the 200 was found to be over 50x more deadly than vaccines batches from other lots. The other vaccine lots (batches) were also causing deaths and disabilities, but nowhere near to this extent. These deadly batches should have appeared randomly among all “vaccines” if it was an unintentional event. However, he found that 5% of the vaccines were responsible for 90% of the serious adverse events, including deaths. The incidence of deaths and serious complications among these “hot lots” varied from over 1000% to several thousand percent higher than comparable safer lots. If you think this was by accident—think again. This is not the first time “hot lots” were, in my opinion, purposefully manufactured and sent across the nation—usually vaccines designed for children. In one such scandal, “hot lots” of a vaccine ended up all in one state and the damage immediately became evident. What was the manufacture’s response? It wasn’t to remove the deadly batches of the vaccine. He ordered his company to scatter the hot lots across the nation so that authorities would not see the obvious deadly effect.

All lots of a vaccine are numbered—for example Modera labels them with such codes as 013M20A. It was noted that the batch numbers ended in either 20A or 21A. Batches ending in 20A were much more toxic than the ones ending in 21A. The batches ending in 20A had about 1700 adverse events, versus a few hundred to twenty or thirty events for the 21A batches. This example explains why some people had few or no adverse events after taking the vaccine while others are either killed or severely and permanently harmed.

They determined that 14 of the fifteen people died as a result of the vaccines and not of other causes. Dr. Burkhardt, the pathologist, observed widespread evidence of an immune attack on the autopsied individuals’ organs and tissues— especially their heart. This evidence included extensive invasion of small blood vessels with massive numbers of lymphocytes, which cause extensive cell destruction when unleashed. Other organs, such as the lungs and liver, were observed to have extensive damage as well. These findings indicate the vaccines were causing the body to attack itself with deadly consequences. One can easily see why Anthony Fauci, as well as public health officers and all who are heavily promoting these vaccines, publicly discouraged autopsies on the vaccinated who subsequently died. One can also see that in the case of vaccines, that were essentially untested prior to being approved for the general public, at least the regulatory agencies should have been required to carefully monitor and analyze all serious complications, and certainly deaths, linked to these vaccines. The best way to do that is with complete autopsies.

While we learned important information from these autopsies what is really needed are special studies of the tissues of those who have died after vaccination for the presence of spike protein infiltration throughout the organs and tissues. This would be critical information, as such infiltration would result in severe damage to all tissues and organs involved—especially the heart, the brain, and the immune system. Animal studies have demonstrated this. In these vaccinated individuals the source of these spike proteins would be the injected nanolipid carriers of the spike protein producing mRNA. It is obvious that the government health authorities and pharmaceutical manufacturers of these “vaccines” do not want these critical studies done as the public would be outraged and demand an end to the vaccination program and prosecution of the involved individuals who covered this up.

CONCLUSIONS​

We are all living through one of the most drastic changes in our culture, economic system, as well as political system in our nation’s history as well as the rest of the world. We have been told that we will never return to “normal” and that a great reset has been designed to create a “new world order”. This has all been outlined by Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, in his book on the “Great Reset”.[66] This book gives a great deal of insight as to the thinking of the utopians who are proud to claim this pandemic “crisis” as their way to usher in a new world. This new world order has been on the drawing boards of the elite manipulators for over a century.[73,74] In this paper I have concentrated on the devastating effects this has had on the medical care system in the United States, but also includes much of the Western world. In past papers I have discussed the slow erosion of traditional medical care in the United States and how this system has become increasingly bureaucratized and regimented.[7,8] This process was rapidly accelerating, but the appearance of this, in my opinion, manufactured “pandemic” has transformed our health care system over night.

As you have seen, an unprecedented series of events have taken place within this system. Hospital administrators, for example, assumed the position of medical dictators, ordering doctors to follow protocols derived not from those having extensive experience in treating this virus, but rather from a medical bureaucracy that has never treated a single COVID-19 patient. The mandated use of respirators on ICU Covid-19 patients, for example, was imposed in all medical systems and dissenting physicians were rapidly removed from their positions as caregivers, despite their demonstration of markedly improved treatment methods. Further, doctors were told to use the drug remdesivir despite its proven toxicity, lack of effectiveness and high complication rate.

They were told to use drugs that impaired respiration and mask every patient, despite the patient’s impaired breathing. In each case, those who refused to abuse their patients were removed from the hospital and even faced a loss of license—or worse.

For the first time in modern medical history, early medical treatment of these infected patients was ignored nationwide. Studies have shown that early medical treatment was saving 80% of higher number of these infected people when initiated by independent doctors.[43,44] Early treatment could have saved over 640,000 lives over the course of this “pandemic”. Despite the demonstration of the power of these early treatments, the forces controlling medical care continued this destructive policy.

Families were not allowed to see their loved ones, forcing these very sick individuals in the hospitals to face their deaths alone. To add insult to injury, funerals were limited to a few grieving family members, who were not allowed to even sit together. All the while large stores, such as Walmart and Cosco were allowed to operate with minimal restrictions. Nursing home patients were also not allowed to have family visitations, again being forced to die a lonely death. All the while, in a number of states, the most transparent being in New York state, infected elderly were purposefully transferred from hospitals into nursing homes, resulting in a very high death rates of these nursing home residents. At the beginning of this “pandemic” over 50% of all death were occurring in nursing homes.

Throughout this “pandemic” we have been fed an unending series of lies, distortions and disinformation by the media, the public health officials, medical bureaucracies (CDC, FDA and WHO) and medical associations.

Physicians, scientists, and experts in infectious treatments who formed associations designed to develop more effective and safer treatments, were regularly demonized, harassed, shamed, humiliated, and experience a loss of licensure, loss of hospital privileges and, in at least one case, ordered to have a psychiatric examination.[2,65,71]

Anthony Fauci was given essentially absolute control of all forms of medical care during this event, including insisting that drugs he profited from be used by all treating physicians. He ordered the use of masks, despite at first laughing at the use of masks to filter a virus. Governors, mayors, and many businesses followed his orders without question.

The draconian measures being used, masking, lockdowns, testing of the uninfected, use of the inaccurate PCR test, social distancing, and contact tracing had been shown previously to be of little or no use during previous pandemics, yet all attempts to reject these methods were to no avail. Some states ignored these draconian orders and had either the same or fewer cases, as well as deaths, as the states with the most strictly enforced measures.

Again, no amount of evidence or obvious demonstration along these lines had any effect on ending these socially destructive measures. Even when entire countries, such as Sweden, which avoided all these measures, demonstrated equal rates of infections and hospitalization as nations with the strictest, very draconian measures, no policy change by the controlling institutions occurred. No amount of evidence changed anything.

Experts in the psychology of destructive events, such as economic collapses, major disasters and previous pandemics demonstrated that draconian measures come with an enormous cost in the form of “deaths of despair” and in a dramatic increase in serious psychological disorders. The effects of these pandemic measures on children’s neurodevelopment is catastrophic and to a large extent irreversible.

Over time tens of thousands could die as a result of this damage. Even when these predictions began to appear, the controllers of this “pandemic” continued full steam ahead. Drastic increases in suicides, a rise in obesity, a rise in drug and alcohol use, a worsening of many health measures and a terrifying rise in psychiatric disorders, especially depression and anxiety, were ignored by the officials controlling this event.

We eventually learned that many of the deaths were a result of medical neglect. Individuals with chronic medical conditions, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological diseases were no longer being followed properly in their clinics and doctor’s offices. Non-emergency surgeries were put on hold. Many of these patients chose to die at home rather than risk going to the hospitals and many considered hospitals “death houses”.

Records of deaths have shown that there was a rise in deaths among those aged 75 and older, mostly explained by Covid-19 infections, but for those between the ages of 65 to 74, deaths had been increasing well before the pandemic onset.[69] Between ages of 18 and aged 65 years, records demonstrate a shocking hike in non-Covid-19 deaths. Some of these deaths were explained by a dramatic increase in drug-related deaths, some 20,000 more than 2019. Alcohol related deaths also increased substantially, and homicides increased almost 30% in the 18 to 65-year group.

The head of the insurance company OneAmerica stated that their data indicated that the death rate for individuals aged 18 to 64 had increased 40% over the pre-pandemic period.[21] Scott Davidson, the company’s CEO, stated that this represented the highest death rate in the history of insurance records, which does extensive data collections on death rates each year. Davidson also noted that this high of a death rate increase has never been seen in the history of death data collection. Previous catastrophes of monumental extent increased death rates no more than 10 percent, 40% is unprecedented.

Dr. Lindsay Weaver, Indiana’s chief medical officer, stated that hospitalizations in Indiana are higher than at any point in the past five years. This is of critical importance since the vaccines were supposed to significantly reduce deaths, but the opposite has happened. Hospitals are being flooded with vaccine complications and people in critical condition from medical neglect caused by the lockdowns and other pandemic measures.[46,56]

A dramatic number of these people are now dying, with the spike occurring after the vaccines were introduced. The lies flowing from those who have appointed themselves as medical dictators are endless. First, we were told that the lockdown would last only two weeks, they lasted over a year. Then we were told that masks were ineffective and did not need to be worn. Quickly that was reversed. Then we were told the cloth mask was very effective, now it’s not and everyone should be wearing an N95 mask and before that that they should double mask. We were told there was a severe shortage of respirators, then we discover they are sitting unused in warehouses and in city dumps, still in their packing crates. We were informed that the hospitals were filled mostly with the unvaccinated and later found the exact opposite was true the world over. We were told that the vaccine was 95% effective, only to learn that in fact the vaccines cause a progressive erosion of innate immunity.

Upon release of the vaccines, women were told the vaccines were safe during all states of pregnancy, only to find out no studies had been done on safety during pregnancy during the “safety tests” prior to release of the vaccine. We were told that careful testing on volunteers before the EUA approval for public use demonstrated extreme safety of the vaccines, only to learn that these unfortunate subjects were not followed, medical complications caused by the vaccines were not paid for and the media covered this all up.[67] We also learned that the pharmaceutical makers of the vaccines were told by the FDA that further animal testing was unnecessary (the general public would be the Guinea pigs.) Incredibly, we were told that the Pfizer’s new mRNA vaccines had been approved by the FDA, which was a cleaver deception, in that another vaccine had approval (comirnaty) and not the one being used, the BioNTech vaccine. The approved comirnaty vaccine was not available in the United States. The national media told the public that the Pfizer vaccine had been approved and was no longer classed as experimental, a blatant lie. These deadly lies continue. It is time to stop this insanity and bring these people to justice.

Yes! My gosh it’s exhausting to even SKIM the whole thing! I just got home from voting (zzzzz, yep, there was a long line at 6am too) and catching up, somewhat.

I can’t wait to share that GVB interview with Dr Haider to my DH. He’ll be excited to watch it even though I haven’t yet.


Good to see you HD!

Thank you very much
They’re both feeling better as of yesterday morning.
I sent along the link to Dr Haider for them get started on acquiring protocol meds.

She was open minded, and is really onto almost any alternatives and supplements, but whether they actually follow through with these or not ?

I just stopped with trying to convince people of ANYTHING a long time ago. Now I feel a little guilty, seeing how they’re all sick.

Good news. But you can have good days and bad days with this thing. I've offered Ivermectin to people. I've had mixed reactions. Most folk do what they want to do. All you can do is try.

“A Silent Killer” – COVID-19 Shown To Trigger Inflammation in the Brain Without Outward Symptoms for Years
By University of Queensland
November 8, 2022

Researchers say the COVID-19 virus affects the brain in a similar way to dementia diseases.

Research led by The University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia has found COVID-19 activates the same inflammatory response in the brain as Parkinson’s disease.

The discovery not only identified a potential future risk for neurodegenerative conditions in people who have had COVID-19, but suggested also a possible treatment.

The UQ team was led by Professor Trent Woodruff and Dr. Eduardo Albornoz Balmaceda from UQ’s School of Biomedical Sciences, and virologists from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences.

“We studied the effect of the virus on the brain’s immune cells, ‘microglia’ which are the key cells involved in the progression of brain diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s,” Professor Woodruff said.

“Our team grew human microglia in the laboratory and infected the cells with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

“We found the cells effectively became ‘angry’, activating the same pathway that Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s proteins can activate in disease, the inflammasomes.”

COVID-19 Infected Mouse Brain Angry Microglia

Dr. Albornoz Balmaceda said triggering the inflammasome pathway sparked a ‘fire’ in the brain, which begins a chronic and sustained process of killing off neurons.

“It’s kind of a silent killer, because you don’t see any outward symptoms for many years,” Dr. Albornoz Balmaceda said.

“It may explain why some people who’ve had COVID-19 are more vulnerable to developing neurological symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease.”

The researchers found the spike protein of the virus was enough to start the process and was further exacerbated when there were already proteins in the brain linked to Parkinson’s.

“So if someone is already pre-disposed to Parkinson’s, having COVID-19 could be like pouring more fuel on that ‘fire’ in the brain,” Professor Woodruff said.

“The same would apply for a predisposition for Alzheimer’s and other dementias that have been linked to inflammasomes.”

But the study also found a potential treatment.

The researchers administered a class of UQ-developed inhibitory drugs that are currently in clinical trials with Parkinson’s patients.

“We found it successfully blocked the inflammatory pathway activated by COVID-19, essentially putting out the fire,” Dr. Albornoz Balmaceda said.

“The drug reduced inflammation in both COVID-19-infected mice and the microglia cells from humans, suggesting a possible treatment approach to prevent neurodegeneration in the future.”

Professor Woodruff said while the similarity between how COVID-19 and dementia diseases affect the brain was concerning, it also meant a possible treatment was already in existence.

“Further research is needed, but this is potentially a new approach to treating a virus that could otherwise have untold long-term health ramifications.”

The research was co-led by Dr. Alberto Amarilla Ortiz and Associate Professor Daniel Watterson and involved 33 co-authors across UQ and internationally.

The study was published on November 1 in Nature’s Molecular Psychiatry.

An interdisciplinary research team led by UCLA found that a drug already approved by the Food and Drug Administration for eye disease, verteporfin, stopped the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Their laboratory study identified the Hippo signaling pathway as a potential target for therapies against the coronavirus.

Many important human biological processes are controlled by complicated chain reactions called signaling pathways, in which certain proteins act as messenger molecules that promote or block the signals of other proteins.

The lead researchers were investigating the Hippo pathway, which controls the size of organs in the body, in earlier studies of the Zika virus, which can cause undersized brains in infants. Noticing that this pathway also seemed to have virus-fighting effects, they launched the current study investigating SARS-CoV-2.

The scientists performed experiments using tissue samples from people with COVID-19, as well as cultured human heart and lung cells selected to closely reflect how healthy cells respond to SARS-CoV-2 infection. They observed changes in many genes involved with the Hippo signaling pathway after infection. In addition, they examined a protein called YAP, or Yes-associated protein, whose activity is blocked when the Hippo pathway is activated.

The scientists found that in the cultured human cells, both the original strain and delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 activated the Hippo pathway in the first few days after infection. When they silenced this pathway and increased YAP, the virus replicated itself more. They team also pretreated cells with verteporfin, which blocks YAP in the eye disease known as choroidal neovascularization, and then infected them with SARS-CoV-2. In the verteporfin-treated cells, concentrations of the coronavirus were below detectable levels, compared to more than 60,000 units of the virus per milliliter in an untreated control group.

The results indicate verteporfin may be a candidate to treat COVID-19, and its status as FDA-approved could make it easier to launch clinical trials to verify its safety and effectiveness against the coronavirus. The study showed that the Hippo pathway is activated within days of SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting that treatments using the mechanism could be deployed before symptoms arise to reduce the severity of disease.

The study is published today in PLOS Biology.

Two new Covid subvariants have taken over in the US
Gustaf Kilander
Thu, November 17, 2022, 1:34 PM

Two new subvariants of Omicron have surpassed BA.5 as the top variants of the coronavirus across the US.

BA.5 became the most widespread variant in July and made up the majority of new infections until the new subvariants overtook BA.5 last week.

Figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released on Friday revealed that the new variants BQ.1.1 and BQ.1 are now the most widespread versions of the virus. Combined, they account for 44 per cent of new infections, with BA.5 making up 30 per cent.

The director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Dr Dan Barouch, told NBC News that “BA.5 is essentially declining quickly, probably soon to be gone”.

The new variants are also on the rise in Europe, where they accounted for 18 per cent of new infections in the European Union between 17 and 30 October.

The European CDC has said that they believe that figure will rise above 50 per cent during this month or in December.
Both of the new subvariants are considered to be within the BA.5 category, but early data indicates that they’ve improved their ability to evade vaccine immunity or immunity from a previous infection. This could lead to more cases over the winter months.

The co-director of the Viruses and Emerging Pathogens Program at Ohio State University, Dr Shan-Lu Liu, has conducted research showing that both of the new variants appear to have a mutation that boosts their ability to get into our cells.

“There is a clear trend that these two new subvariants are taking off, which is a concern,” he told NBC News.

He said that the number of infections that BQ.1.1 and BQ.1 account for in the US has doubled every week since early last month.

Dr Barouch said that BQ.1.1 especially has another mutation that’s slightly more apt to avoid antibodies compared to BQ.1, adding that he believes that BQ.1.1 will come out ahead and be the cause of “a large amount of infections” during the colder months.

“BQ.1.1 appears to be the most antibody-evasive variant that we’ve seen to date,” he told NBC News.

According to early research by Dr Barouch, Covid vaccines offer less protection against BQ.1.1.

Johns Hopkins University virologist Andrew Pekosz told the outlet that BQ subvariants are similar to BA.5, meaning that vaccines, tests, and treatments should still generally work against them.

“In the US right now, virtually all the variants circulating are related to BA.5, and therefore if you get the bivalent vaccine, you’ll increase your immunity to it to some extent,” he said.

Scientists don’t believe that the new variants will lead to more severe disease.

“It’s encouraging that we’re not seeing really large boosts in hospitalization because that’s implying that the immunity that we have is still protecting us from severe disease,” Dr Pekosz said. “There’s nothing in the signature of the clinical cases that are being reported that suggests that anything is changing in terms of symptoms with these omicron subvariants. What we may be seeing here is that there’s probably a lot more infections than we’re counting, and therefore the virus has had a lot more opportunities to mutate.”

Dr Liu cautioned: “Last year around Thanksgiving, omicron came out from nowhere. This is a virus. Anything can happen.”

FDA Says Telling People Not to Take Ivermectin for COVID-19 Was Just a Recommendation
By Zachary Stieber
November 19, 2022

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing.

“The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas.

“They use informal language, that is true,” he also said, adding that, “it’s conversational but not mandatory.”

The hearing was held in a case brought by three doctors who say the FDA illegally interfered with their ability to prescribe medicine to their patients when it issued statements on ivermectin, an anti-parasitic that has shown positive results in some trials against COVID-19.

Ivermectin is approved by the FDA but not for COVID-19. Drugs are commonly used for non-approved purposes in the United States; the practice is known as off-label treatment.

The FDA created a webpage in 2021 titled “Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19” and later posted a link to the page on Twitter while writing: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” A second post stated: “Hold your horses, y’all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19.”

In a separate page, the FDA said: “Q: Should I take ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19? A: No.”

Those actions interfered with the doctors’ practice of medicine, violating the laws including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the lawsuit alleges.

It asked the court to rule the actions unlawful and bar the FDA from directing or opining as to whether ivermectin should be used to treat COVID-19.

Jared Kelson, an attorney representing the plaintiffs, told the court during the hearing that that informal claim “doesn’t explain the language they actually used: ‘Stop it. Stop it with the ivermectin.'”

The FDA’s actions “clearly convey that this is not an acceptable way to treat these patients,” he argued.

Plaintiffs in the case include Dr. Paul Marik, who began utilizing ivermectin in his COVID-19 treatment protocol in 2020 while he was chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School and director of the intensive care unit at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.

After the FDA’s statements, Marik was told to remove the protocol from the school’s servers while Sentara issued a memorandum to hospitals telling them to stop using ivermectin against COVID-19, with a citation to the FDA.

Marik was forced to resign from his positions because he couldn’t prescribe ivermectin due to the FDA’s statements, the suit alleges.

The government has moved to dismiss the complaint, asserting plaintiffs lack standing because the injuries cannot be traced back to the FDA.

More From the Hearing

During the recent hearing, which was on the motion to dismiss, the government said the FDA could not be blamed for the injuries.

“Plaintiffs have also not shown that any of their claimed injuries are fairly traceable to defendants’ statements because their injuries were caused by independent third-party conduct that was not a predictable response to those statements,” Belfer, the government lawyer, said.

Belfer noted that the FDA’s pages say people can use ivermectin if their health care provider prescribes it, argued the statements “did not bind the public or FDA, did not interpret any substantive rules, and did not set agency policy,” and said the FDA’s position could change in the future if new data become available.

“They also do not have legal consequences for anyone but simply provide nonbinding recommendations to consumers,” he said.

Kelson disagreed.

“If the government is going to label ivermectin a horse medicine or a horse dewormer and promulgate the idea that it is only for animals, then the natural correlation is that doctors who prescribe it are horse doctors or quack doctors, which has played out,” he said. “That is enough of a harm to get into court,” or have the motion to dismiss rejected, he said.

Ivermectin is used on animals in addition to humans. The FDA used a picture of a horse in its Twitter posts and on one of its pages.

“The government engaged in a singularly effective campaign here to malign a common drug that has been used for a very long time and has been dispensed in billions of doses. It’s one of the most famously safe drugs in the history of human medicine. And when people did exactly what the FDA said to ‘Stop it. Stop it with the ivermectin,’ I don’t understand how that would not be traceable back to the FDA,” Kelson said.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee overseeing the case, said that he was most concerned about the social media statements because they did not include any qualifiers.

Belfer argued the statements were aimed at consumers and that the Twitter posts linked to one of the pages, which does include the qualifier.

“So it was predictable that if you include the link to the article, people will click on the link and will see the full article, which includes that disclaimer that if your doctor writes you a prescription, you should fill it exactly as prescribed,” he said.

“The plaintiffs, by their own admission, have continued to prescribe ivermectin. So they always had the authority. It may be that patients were not able to fill prescriptions, but the doctors themselves always had the authority,” he added later.

Brown said he appreciated the briefing from the parties and that he would rule “as quickly as we can for ya’ll.” As of Nov. 19, he has not issued a ruling.

VSS Scientific Updates During Pandemic Times #45
By Geert Vanden Bossche
November 19, 2022


1. U.S. Flu Hospitalizations Highest in 10 years, Officials Say

“An early fall spike in influenza cases has pushed U.S. hospitalization rates for the illness to the highest in a decade for this time of year, U.S. health officials said on Friday, noting that vaccination rates are down.”



2. Would a Mucosal Covid-19 Vaccine Have Been More Effective? Geert Responds

From Geert: I would like to comment on the following section:

“The Covid-19 vaccines have not delivered in terms of preventing infection and transmission. These products clearly do not prevent transmission. They should never have been expected to, by virtue of their mechanism of action (i.e. the creation of blood-borne antibodies, when - as with other respiratory viruses - the primary immune defenses reside in the mucous membranes lining the upper respiratory tract and lungs).”

With this statement you are suggesting that mucosal C-19 vaccines may do the job. This is not correct. There is no evidence whatsoever that mucosal vaccines would prevent immune escape when administered during a pandemic. There is no evidence either that any (experimental) mucosal vaccine works better than the same vaccine administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously (even for pathogens entering via mucosal membranes). That’s why the spectrum of commercialized mucosal vaccines is scarce. It’s not because a respiratory pathogen invades the body via the mucosa that mucosal vaccine administration is more efficacious. It’s also a complete misunderstanding that systemic antibodies do not reach the mucosa (they actually do via transudation). In addition, to maintain high titers of neutralizing IgA, regular booster doses (every 3-4 months) are required. But even then, one will not avoid immune escape when these vaccines are used during a pandemic.

I am reacting to this statement as it provides grist to the mill of those who remain convinced that we can vaccinate ourselves out of the pandemic. The real reason as to why C-19 vaccines cannot prevent infection or transmission is because they don’t induce sterilizing immunity. Vaccine-induced Abs cannot sterilize the virus when the immune system gets already exposed to the virus while it is still in the process of mounting an antibody (Ab) response. It takes time for these Abs to become fully functional (neutralizing capacity) and reach a high enough concentration to neutralize the virus. As long as the humoral response is insufficient/ immature, the Abs exert suboptimal immune pressure on viral infectiousness. This will lead to natural selection and dominant propagation of more infectious variants. This increases viral infectivity and promotes viral transmission instead of reducing it. I understand that PANDA is not a science-oriented organization but that should not be an excuse to make statements that are scientifically incorrect. Those may be easier for the public to understand but eventually lead to confusion and may even encourage another bunch of nonsensical initiatives.



3. Antibody Responses to Omicron BA.4/BA.5 Bivalent mRNA Vaccine Booster Shot – Preprint

“At ~3-5 weeks post booster shot, individuals who received a fourth vaccine dose with a bivalent mRNA vaccine targeting BA.4/BA.5 had similar neutralizing antibody titers as those receiving a fourth monovalent mRNA vaccine against all SARS-CoV-2 variants tested, including BA.4/BA.5. Those who received a fourth monovalent vaccine dose had a slightly higher neutralizing antibody titers than those who received the bivalent vaccine against three related sarbecoviruses: SARS-CoV, GD-Pangolin, and WIV1. When given as a fourth dose, a bivalent mRNA vaccine targeting Omicron BA.4/BA.5 and an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain did not induce superior neutralizing antibody responses in humans, at the time period tested, compared to the original monovalent vaccine formulation.”



4. Recipe for Disaster: Combining COVID-19 BA4/5 and Influenza mRNA

“mRNA coding for influenza would be a new biological product not under EUA so should have to go through the full 5-year regulatory development cycle for genetic biologicals. It looks like the vaccine companies are trying the shortcut this development cycle by combining the non-emergency flu shot with the EUA COVID-19 vaccine.”



5. 1 in every 310 people died within 1.5 months of receiving the COVID Vaccine Booster*

*Note: We did not include a previous article from The Expose after reading some comments on that article which suggested that the author was cherry picking the data and leaving out relevant information. With this article, the same commenter has these comments:

"Sorry to repeat myself but you are again cherrypicking the data. Not only did you pick mortality during winter months but you did not specify how many elderly were among the total deaths for that period and did not specify that those are the most likely third dose vaccinated people.
With above perspective in mind the 62.801 deaths out of a skewed total of just under 20million most fragile people during 48 days in wintertime is not indisputable evidence of anything.
By the way your use of logarithmic scale might also be considered slightly biased to hide the disproportionate mortality between age groups…."

It's not to say the author is wrong, but that further analysis is needed. The correlation is still there, which warrants attention.



6. COVID Booster May Lower Protection Against Omicron Reinfection, Study Finds

“A COVID-19 booster, specifically a third vaccine dose, may lower protection against getting infected with the omicron variant again for some people — and there’s a reason why, new findings suggest.”

Covid Vaccines Driving Dangerous Variants & Immune Suppression -Dr Geert Vanden Bossche
November 19, 2022
original article is to be found on Bright Light News

(Vienna, Austria -Sept 19, 2022) Covid ‘vaccine’-induced antibodies are wreaking havoc on the immune systems of the vaccinated and, unbeknownst to many scientists, driving more virulent Omicron variants, says world-class vaccinologist and virologist, Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche. And while many unvaccinated are profiting from infection, strained immune systems and subsequent natural immunity, many of the vaccinated find themselves more susceptible to reinfection as well as other diseases, like recurrences of cancers, herpetic diseases and microbial diseases, that is, “a shift from antibody-dependent enhancement of infection–what we have right now–to antibody-dependent enhancement of severe disease.”

The mRNA gene therapy is also causing an unusual and paradoxical hyper-immunity that is “very fragile and temporary,” where cytotoxic T cells (cells capable of killing pathogens) are activated almost continuously and thus “protecting against disease altogether.”

Join us for this fascinating interview with Dr. Bossche, as he discusses

-how the virus–as he’d predicted–is evolving in dangerous and unprecedented ways for the health of our species
-how newborn cohorts cause a gap in herd immunity, previously established for childhood diseases, by vaccinating them against those diseases (and where population herd immunity already exists) and how we can close that gap
-how he’s responded to the attacks on him and other experts by unqualified scientists and journalists
…and more.

TRANSCRIPTION

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:00:00] Every 12 hours, the virus puts a new generation on the globe. And so these statements, “We are going to stay ahead of the virus,” statements like this are truly an insult to science. We know that the most recent strains of Omicron variants are more virulent–that has been shown, published in peer-reviewed journals. You have those vaccinees that, because of the effect of the vaccine, get immune suppressed and that are developing cancers, herpetic diseases, microbial diseases.

Glen Jung: [00:00:39] Enjoy this interview with Dr. Vanden Bossche from Vienna, Austria. And please support independent media at BrightLightNews.com. We’re thrilled to be here again with Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche. We’re in Vienna, Austria, at the close of the Better Way Conference. And thank you again so much, Dr. Vanden Bossche, for joining us.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:00:55] It’s my pleasure.

Glen Jung: [00:00:56] Yes. So, we last time we saw each other was in Bath, and you had talked about the increasing morbidity and mortality that you’re unfortunately expecting to see with these vaccines. What is the latest science that you’ve been talking about?

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:01:11] Well, the latest science is that the virus is continuing to escape, escape from the immune pressure that we are putting.

Glen Jung: [00:01:20] Dr. Vanden Bossche explains immune pressure here in a previous interview.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:01:24] The pressure is, in fact, the antibodies that are induced because of the vaccine. So, these are the vaccine-induced antibodies that are not capable of preventing the infection. So, they cannot prevent the virus from replicating, from transmitting, but will put immune pressure on the virus. That’s what immune what immune pressure is about. The interesting thing is two things. First of all, that this is not very obvious to most people, even to our public health authorities. It doesn’t seem to be obvious that the virus is still evolving and in a direction that is not really desirable. Why is this? Well, first of all, because the unvaccinated, especially in highly vaccinated countries, their immune system get better and better trained because the virus is circulating. And, whereas at the beginning, some of us, even many of us got the disease got ill, not necessarily severe disease, of course. Now their immune system is strained, and they are doing very well. Most of us. On the other hand, in the vaccinated people, there is also a very interesting evolution going on and that is that whereas previously the vaccines were protecting against severe disease, they are now increasingly also protecting against disease altogether. So, what that means is that many vaccinees don’t even get ill either. Of course, you have those vaccinees that because of the effect of the vaccine, get immune suppressed and that are developing other diseases.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:03:12] We know about this recurrences of cancer, other diseases, herpetic diseases, other microbial diseases. So, these are typically the people who come to the hospital with COVID, but not because of COVID. Now it is, immunologically speaking, a quite complex mechanism that is providing this additional protection to the vaccinees. I’m not going to explain this in detail. I do this in articles, etc. But what I can tell for sure is that this type of protection is very unusual. We have not seen this before. It has never been elicited by vaccines before. It is very fragile, and it is temporary. And, in fact, it is due to antibodies, basically infection-enhancing antibodies that we know prevail in the sera of vaccinees when the neutralizing capacity is diminishing and we know that the neutralizing capacity is diminishing. So, these antibodies are help the vaccinees to overcome an event that we call transinfection. It’s basically cells that absorb the virus at the upper respiratory tract that are then migrating to the lungs. And from there the virus is transferred to susceptible lung cells. And this transfer that we call transinfection is what causes severe disease. You know the infection-enhancing antibodies that enhance the infection at the upper respiratory tract are still able to prevent this transinfection. And by doing that, of course, they prevent severe disease.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:05:03] So, that means in other…and severe disease-causing severe disease or disease, that’s what we call virulence. Virulence of the virus. So, in other words, the infection-enhancing antibodies are now, in fact, exerting immune pressure on viral virulence. And the virus will overcome this. That is very, very clear. But so far, we don’t see this. And the virus that remains in the body still gets cleared by cytotoxic T cells. So, these are T-cells that are capable of killing the virus. So, what does that mean? So, that means that the cytotoxic T cells that kill the virus and eliminate virus-infected cells are basically almost activated all the time. Why? Because the infection-enhancing antibodies make vaccinees more susceptible for infection. So, they get re infected all the time and hence the cytotoxic T cells that have the task to clear virus infected cells are activated it all the time. So, they get activated to a degree that basically they are even capable to eliminate now these virus-infected cells at a very early stage of infection. So, that prevents disease, in fact, all together. But as I was saying, this is very temporary and fragile, but it explains why we are now having a kind of situation where even W.H.O., etc., are declaring, “Guys, we are out of the woods. Look, I mean, COVID is calming down.”

WHO Gen. Dir. Tedros Ghebreyesus: [00:06:36] Last week, the number of weekly reported deaths from Covid-19 was the lowest since March 2020. We are not there yet. But the end is in sight.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:06:53] The unvaccinated, you know, people don’t talk a lot about the unvaccinated, but they are very well protected. But also, the vaccinees are now, in fact, benefiting from the highest level of protection they ever had because it’s no longer protecting against severe disease. But because of the strong activation of the cytotoxic T cells, those are even able now to eliminate virus infection and prevent disease at a very early stage of infection of the cell. And that that protects them even against mild symptoms to a large extent. So, we have a virus that is now evolving very dramatically. And by the way, by the way, we know that the most recent strains of Omicron variants, I should say, are more virulent–that has been shown, published in peer-reviewed journals–that the virulence has increased but in vitro in the test tube, not yet in the presence of the infection-enhancing antibodies, those you have in vivo. But in vitro, the virus has already acquired these more virulent properties. So, this clearly demonstrates that the virus is continuing to evolve. It also illustrates that it is evolving towards higher virulence. Right. And that is that is the kind of evolution that is not really perceived right now. But, on the other hand, it’s very, very clear that the infection rate is still very high.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:08:25] We have, for the reasons I was just explaining, more and more asymptomatic infections. Right. Hence the infection rate is dramatically underreported because these people are typically not tested. And, hence, we are sitting in a situation right now where we have a very high infection rate and where on the other hand, people seem to be more better and better protected against disease. Right? So, this is something that is very, very strange because remember, during a natural pandemic, you can have a high infection rate, but then, of course, the transmission, the infection rate, diminishes very dramatically. And in the end, it is completely under control. That is, when the virus transitions into what we call endemicity. Right? That is not the evolution we are seeing right now. Public health authorities are saying, well, look, I mean, virus is under control because, of course, during a natural pandemic, if the transmission rate infection rate diminishes automatically the disease and mortality rate is going to decrease as well. But now we have a situation where hospitalization rates, severe disease mortality is decreasing pretty low. I’m talking I’m very clearly talking always about disease due to COVID here. When I talk about disease, it’s a disease due to COVID. But it is not a consequence of the transmission rate that has diminished.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:09:56] That cannot be because we don’t have herd immunity. Right. So there is no herd immunity with a high infection rate. Nevertheless, we have a very low mortality morbidity. So, that is the insidious evolution that is going on right now and which is posing a tremendous challenge in a sense that normally, during a natural pandemic, you have this kind of very sound, I would say, balance between the kind of damage that the virus is doing and, you know, the immune defense the immune system is fighting back. As I was saying, during a natural pandemic, there is some damage. There is people, you know, some people die, etc. But then the immune system of the population by herd immunity is keeping these things under control. So all in all, you have a very sound balance. And, certainly, during endemicity where you may still from time to time have a surge, if there is a gap in herd immunity. But then immediately when the virus tries to spread, the other people still have natural immunity. So that is balanced. We have completely disturbed this balance and, hence, we are now–that is something I really convinced of–we are now facing the threat that the virus or that we will that we will transition from a situation that is, I would say, white, where things are pretty with regard to COVID disease,

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:11:21] right, are pretty fine unvaccinated, vaccinated, to black. That could happen when this highly infectious virus, well, the virus itself is not highly infectious because of the infection-enhancing antibodies in the vaccinees that is highly infectious virus breaks through the last obstacle, the last hurdle of defense, which I just told is temporary and fragile and may enable virulence. So, that means that you will shift from antibody-dependent enhancement of infection–what we have right now–to antibody-dependent enhancement of severe disease. And so that is what I predict based on my analysis of how the virus is evolving, the dynamics, and how the immune system is following, so to say. But it cannot it cannot keep up with the virus. I explained this multiple times: every 12 hours the virus put a new generation on the globe. And so, these statements, “We are going to stay ahead of the virus,” statements like this are truly an insult to science. Right. And it is, I guess, only when this thing will happen that mankind will realize the kind of damage that I have been doing by massively, massively disturbing a kind of equilibrium that has been shaped over millions of years. I’m not saying just for COVID, but, in general. The way our immune system has learned to cope with pathogens and the way pathogens have learned to take advantage of the host of a human being or an animal to proliferate and to spread, but in a way that they don’t eradicate the population.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:13:25] We are massively disturbing an equilibrium that has proved to be beneficial both for the pathogen and for the host in a way that there is not too much damage to the host in terms of the population, and that the virus or the pathogen is given an opportunity to still spread and exist and survive while being under control of the immunity of the population. The typical herd immunity that from time to time can have a gap. And then, of course, the virus comes back, but it’s immediately tamed again by the remaining immunity in the population. And I wanted to say very importantly, because people should know that I’m not an anti-vaxxer. That is the reason why we vaccinate our children, the sort of measles, mumps, rubella, etc. For those diseases, we do have group herd immunity. But when the newborns automatically provoke a gap in that herd immunity, so, by immunizing them, we close that gap and we preserve the herd immunity. And this is the way we keep these things under control. Right?

[continued next post]

[continued from above post]

Glen Jung: [00:14:40] So it’s astonishing what you’re saying. We are talking about the dismissal of basic virology, biology 101 by the public health officials in government. And you’re taking us on a deep dive. You touched on it but didn’t go too far. But I mean, what you’re saying is there’s catastrophic harms coming from these. Why is it that these public health officials and government officials and the mainstream media are not delving into this and they’re not looking at it, and rather, rather than doing what they should do for the benefit of the public, they’re vilifying people. Why do you think they’re doing that? And how is your experience been personally in terms of the attacks?

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:15:20] With regard to the attacks, I must say at the very beginning, of course, you become a little bit emotional because we are not used. So we are used to open debate. We are used to heavily criticizing each other verbally or challenging, I should say, scientifically challenging, but not to the type of attacks that we were exposed. Now, on the other hand, I, very soon, early on realized that these attacks were coming from people who, in fact, have no clue. Journalists, that some of them have never, ever been exposed to science even and/or even scientists. But who have no background in this field, really. I mean, it could be, for example, you know, an orthopedic surgeon, somebody from a medical viewpoint has a huge influence on the population because people say, “This guy’s not just a medical doctor. Look, he’s a specialist. He has deep expertise, surgery, cardiology, etc., etc.” So, these people have a tremendous influence on the population and on the medical field. But when you ask them, well, you know, with all respect for his expertise or her expertise, what does this person know in terms of virology? What is this person known in terms of immunology? We all agree everybody agrees that this is about a virus, the immune system influenced by. Thanks. So, what is he supposed to know about vaccinology? We know that these things are evolving.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:16:54] Look at the dominant variants that are changing all the time. So evolutionary biology may also be important. I’m already mentioning four fields. These people, it’s not in their curriculum, right? They have no they have no clue. And so, with that I make. So. So that means that in fact, that has not really disturbed me a lot. I mean, I was like very soon above all this. Right? And, I must say, it would have hurt me if somebody from the vaccine industry where I learned my job would have told me, “Geert, what you are saying is nonsense, because look this and this and this and this.” I can tell you; I’ve not been criticized by any person working in the vaccine industry. They know what I’m talking about. I’m saying that’s what where I learned my job. This is the only place on earth, because of the money, where you manage to get the best experts in immunology and virology and vaccinology and biology, you name it, and you have them sitting around the same table. If you want the best virologist, you you ask him what his salary is at the university, and you triple it, if needed. They’re going to come, and you put him around the same table. And this multidisciplinary approach is completely missing in the minds of public health authorities, etc. They have, you know, many people and I understand this are inclined to think about conspiracy, and it was all intentional, etc., etc.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:18:27] I’m still convinced that to a large extent it has to do with a kind of stupid dumbness, right? Not being able to have an approach that is directed at solving problems and solving complex problems, at solving problems that in fact covers several different fields that you have to bring together. I was just trying to explain how the virus with the immune system in harmony, more or less, then you come with its vaccines. How this disturbs, etc. You have, you don’t have to be the expert in every single field, but you have to have the capacity to put the pieces of these different puzzles that come from different several different disciplines together. So in my mind, it’s just impossible that public health authorities have not even realized that if you start vaccinating people massively, they need to mount immune responses. Typically vaccines are stimulating the adaptive immunity. And that takes time. That’s the reason why we need boosters. It takes several different weeks. At the same time, while these people have still not matured their antibody response, you are exposing them. That’s the definition of a pandemic. The virus is everywhere and spread. You expose them to a virus that you very well know the vaccine and immune response that it induces will not be able to prevent the spread.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:20:02] And, of course, every virus I was saying every 12 hours it put a new generation on the globe. Of course, in this new generation there is mutants always, of course. Right? And the mutants that happen, that happen to be able to overcome the pressure that is put on the virus, they will be selected because they have a competitive advantage. And then you pass on that virus to somebody else who is vaccinated, who comes with the same hostile environment to the virus but is not able to prevent the spread and the infection. The virus that already got competitive advantage in the one person now gets the same competitive advantage in the other person. Why? At the end of the day, in all of the population, when the population is highly vaccinated. So that is something it has to do with lack of knowledge, lack of insight. Our, the scientific community that is focused like all many other branches in our society, on being highly specialized, on being focused on technologies, on having forgotten about biology. They are in their silos and they are no longer able, you know, to bring several different disciplines together with other words. They publish, they have many papers in peer-reviewed journals, etc., but they have never, ever learned to solve a problem. That is very, very different from writing publications, etc.

Glen Jung: [00:21:37] So, for you, your mission has been to stick to the science. This is kind of the way you’ve been able to avoid the attacks since the initial attacks, correct?

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:21:46] Well, it is. It seems like this works in terms of avoiding attacks, etc. I could not do otherwise because, first of all, I don’t like to talk about things that I’m not sure of. I’m a scientist. If I don’t see the data or if I don’t know for sure that I can rely, fully rely, on my knowledge and my expertise, that I gathered in several different of these fields over the last 30, 35 years, then I prefer not to voice my opinion. People can always have an opinion, etc. I prefer not to do this, and I prefer to stick purely to the science because what I’m saying is this: The concept and this experiment, what it really is, is so profoundly wrong already from the conceptual view or from the design, from the design. It’s so, it’s so wrong that I don’t need to go somewhere else to find additional arguments or whatever. The science here is so incredibly strong to be able to completely undermine, so to say, the foundation of and the justification, the rationale, so to say, of this mass vaccination approach. Now, as a matter of fact, one has also to say that it’s a little bit cynical to say this, but from a scientific viewpoint, it’s also extremely daunting, challenging.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:23:19] It’s probably the most challenging topic I’ve ever been studying my whole professional career. So, in other words, I you know, I don’t like to say this, but it’s, of course, scientifically speaking, highly interesting. This is unprecedented. It’s completely unprecedented. So, the complexity is also very high. It’s very sophisticated. So, purely concentrating on the science and trying or trying to follow what’s going on with the virus, the dynamics, the evolutionary dynamics and how the immune system responds, etc. This also explains why we are seeing these different evolutions of the pandemic. It is requiring a lot of time and a lot of energy, and I simply don’t have time to, you know, to go somewhere else and to explore other things than the pure science. Now, as a matter of fact, as you were pointing out, that has also be my pleasant observation that obviously, since I’m doing this, yeah, I’m not getting any criticism. I’m no longer fact checked or whatever. Even if I got fact checked, I would no longer react. But sticking to the science, I’m I’m pretty sure that many of my articles are read by people who have also this deep knowledge and who probably know also very well realize that we have done something that is completely but completely wrong.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:24:42] And the thing that is most dramatic is that we are doing this at large scale. If you mess up with the immune system in a small part of the population, of course, this can be have very bad consequences for the health of that part of the population. But it’s never going to put that kind of pressure on the virus so that you get a very fast evolution that goes in the direction. Where the virus is. I will win this battle and that is definitely what’s going to happen. We see all these different parties fighting with each other right now, but people seem to forget that the only organism that is really in charge of this and that will decide on the outcome of this madness is the virus and nothing else but the virus. So that’s why I put up the other day this slide with the three dogs, when two dogs are fighting for a bone, what is happening then? The third one takes the bone and takes off with it. Right? And that is the immune escape. That is the virus. And that will definitely happen. This is that this is to mean crystal clear.

Glen Jung: [00:25:53] You know, when you were speaking, what I just imagined is we have this one population of humans now that are vaccinated, taking these experimental injections, who are now compromised in terms of their health and their ability to fight infection going forward, disease going forward…who knows about their progeny if they’re also going to be damaged and compromised as well? Then you have this other group who are unvaccinated, who are almost going to become like another subspecies of humans, right? In terms of their health, their ability to fight disease.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:26:21] Yeah, this is already the case. I’m the last person who would talk about discriminating vaccinees or unvaccinated. I’m always repeating my heart goes out to the to the vaccinated people because you know they all did for the best, of course. But even though I would avoid, you know, at any level to discriminate people, there can be no doubt, there can be no doubt that the immune status of a vaccinee is meanwhile fundamentally different from the immune status of an unvaccinated person. And the other thing, this is a general rule that nobody can deny this. You can only tame a pandemic. You can only end the pandemic provided you generate herd immunity. And there is no herd immunity without natural immunity. So, natural immunity means the trained innate immune system, immunity, where, nevertheless, despite training, the virus breaks through that innate immunity, you will have antibodies and it is both trained innate immunity and the complementary adaptive immunity that provides for natural immunity that is sterilizing. It’s the only way that you can have sterilizing immunity during a pandemic. It’s the only way you can fight an enemy, despite the fact that you only start loading your weapon while already being on the battlefield. So, that is so efficient is natural immunity. Without that, we have no herd immunity. Without herd immunity, you don’t end the pandemic. Yes, the virus will , you know, end the pandemic itself when it has managed to have a population, to end up with a population, that has sufficient herd immunity to keep it under control. Now, you can translate this into what does that mean for the unvaccinated? What does that mean for the vaccinees? And I’m saying there is only one other way to complement this herd immunity, and that is really that vaccinated people, vaccinees, will treat themselves with antivirals because, on the one hand, to tame the pandemic.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:28:54] I was telling, you know, you have to diminish the infection rate and prevent the transmission. The natural way of doing this is when the population acquires herd immunity. If you prevent the vast majority of the people from generating that herd immunity, then, of course, they are no longer going to be able to provide a sterilizing immunity, unless you treat them with antivirals. Then, of course, that has nothing to do with immunity. But that type of antiviral defense could be complementary with the herd immunity that the unvaccinated have and could suffice; both together to diminish the infectious pressure of the virus so that, you know, the viral infection will be will be under control. And that is why the only priority that I still have is to prevent children from being vaccinated because they are not yet contaminated by the vaccine. Because remember, once you are primed, Omicron is circulating like hell. So, it is recalling these antibodies all the time. It’s like a natural vaccine that is circulating all the time. The children don’t have that problem, on one hand. On the other hand, they have fantastic innate immunity that can mature into full-fledged natural immunity that fully contributes, you know, all of this population. Every single child almost contributes to herd immunity. Right. So that is so important. That is really the only hope and still have that nobody will touch our children. But it’s already ongoing unfortunately.

Glen Jung: [00:30:35] As much as I hear the science and your expertise coming out and you’re one of the world’s top, if not top virologist, vaccinologist, this combination of expertise, what I hear, coming through you and through everybody here at the at the Better Way Conference, is the love to protect other people and do your duty and your human duty to protect other people. So, for that reason, let me, on behalf of the world, take that liberty to say, “Thank you for everything you’re doing.” And it’s it’s been an incredible pleasure and joy to hear the science and just feel this humanity coming out in you. Because through this, we’re going to win this.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche: [00:31:07] Well, again, I’m also thanking you because yourself and all the alternative media that are trying to cover this thing and trying to share our insights with people because we can bring all this knowledge to the table, our expertise. But if the message doesn’t get conveyed, then it doesn’t help. So, thank you. Thank you as well.

Glen Jung: [00:31:29] Thank you.

Omicron variant BQ.1.1 found to be resistant to all monoclonal antibody treatments

November 22, 2022 report



Extensive resistance of Omicron sublineage B.Q.1.1 to neutralization by mAbs (A) Location of mutations (blue and red) in the spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 lineages B.1, BA.1, and BA.4–5 (which are identical at the amino acid level), BA.4.6, BA.2.75.2, BJ.1, and BQ.1.1 (numbered according to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan-Hu-01).

A combined team of researchers from Leibniz Institute for Primate Research and Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, both in Germany, has found that the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant BQ.1.1 is resistant to all known monoclonal antibody treatments. In their study, published in The Lancet—Infectious Diseases, the group tested a host of omicron sublineages against all known antibody treatments.

Monoclonal antibody treatments, as their name suggests, are therapies that prompt antibody production in people already infected with a pathogen. As the pandemic has worn on, medical researchers have continually searched for new monoclonal antibody treatments to fight off future variants of the virus. But now, it seems researchers are losing that race. In this new effort, the researchers looked at COVID-19 variants and the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody treatments used to combat them.

In their work, the researchers looked at BJ.1, BA.4.6, BA.2.75.2 and BQ.1.1—all subvariants of the omicron strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They tested each against all of the currently available monoclonal antibody treatments to see how well the treatments are working. They found that all of the variants were resistant to some of the treatments and that BQ.1.1 was resistant to all of them.

The finding is alarming in one respect—BQ.1.1, along with BQ.1, currently comprise nearly half of all infections in the U.S. The good news is that because of the multi-pronged attack the medical community has taken against the virus, together with large numbers of people infected, overall numbers of infections are low.

Also, monoclonal antibody treatments are typically only given to infected people with underlying conditions that are believed to be at great risk of serious complications from the disease. On the other hand, because of the unpredictable nature of the virus, no one really knows what this new development might mean for the progression of the pandemic—except for those unlucky people with underlying conditions who, in the near future, happen to catch the BQ1.1. version of COVID-19.

New research detects a growing trend of antibody evasion by new omicron subvariants
by Emily Caldwell, The Ohio State University
November 22, 2022

Three currently circulating omicron subvariants of SARS-CoV-2—including two that currently make up almost 50% of reported COVID-19 infections in the U.S.—are better at evading vaccine- and infection-generated neutralizing antibodies than earlier versions of omicron, suggests new research published in Cell Host & Microbe.

For their study, scientists tested neutralizing antibodies in blood serum samples from vaccinated and once-boosted or recently infected health care professionals against several subvariants in circulation. Three subvariants stood out for their resistance to the antibody immune response: BQ.1, BQ.1.1 and BA.2.75.2.

BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 are subvariants of the BA.4/5 omicron variants that have been dominating the last few months in the U.S., and each now accounts for about a quarter of current infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). BA.2.75.2, a mutant of the BA.2 omicron variant, was the best of all variants tested at evading neutralizing antibodies, but currently accounts for only a very small proportion of reported illnesses in the United States.

"In general, the subvariants BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 are much better compared to prior variants at evading the booster-mediated antibody response—the neutralizing antibody titers are clearly much lower. And those two variants are becoming dominant," said Shan-Lu Liu, senior author the study and a virology professor in the Department of Veterinary Biosciences at The Ohio State University.

"It is important to be aware while traveling and gathering over the holidays that SARS-CoV-2 variants are continuing to evolve," said Liu, also a professor in the Department of Microbial Infection and Immunity. "If you were vaccinated with the first booster more than six months ago, you might consider getting a second booster because the antibodies from a single booster are now likely too low to be protective."

Though the third booster, an updated bivalent formulation, is now being administered to those who are eligible, over 48% of the total booster-eligible population has not yet received a booster dose, according to CDC data. Liu's lab has previously shown that a COVID-19 booster shot provided strong and broad antibody protection against a range of omicron sublineage variants, and that a second booster restored waning antibody counts to protective levels.

For the current study, serum samples came from health care professionals who had received two mRNA vaccine doses and one booster shot or who had been infected during an early or later omicron wave.

Results showed about a 20-fold decrease in vaccine and single booster-generated antibodies that could neutralize BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 compared to neutralizing antibodies against the original (parent) SARS-CoV-2 virus. Similarly, neutralizing antibody levels (titers), generated by infection during the BA.1 omicron wave, were significantly lower against the BQ subvariants than against the parental virus, and antibody titers against the BQ subvariants generated by infection during the BA.4/5 wave did not reach the level of detection.

"Our results suggest that you cannot count on natural infection to protect against the currently circulating omicron subvariants," said Liu, also associate director of Ohio State's Center for Retrovirus Research and a program co-director of the Viruses and Emerging Pathogens Program in Ohio State's Infectious Diseases Institute.

Liu and colleagues conducted cell-culture studies using pseudoviruses—a non-infectious viral core surrounded by different SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins on the surface structured to match known variants. The method used to detect neutralizing antibodies in the blood samples accounts for the varying levels of antibodies produced by individuals.

In this study, Ohio State collaborator and co-author Kai Xu created structural models of individual amino acids changed by the newest mutations on the spike protein, identifying a few key molecules that the subvariants have rearranged so they can block antibodies from binding to the viral particles. This modeling showed that one of these amino acids, called N460K, also enables the BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 particles to enter host cells more efficiently and force host cells to fuse together, a step in viral infection that can increase pathogenesis—which contributes to disease onset, progression to more severe symptoms, and disease transmissibility.

"From my perspective, this is cause for concern because the original omicron variant was not very pathogenic—it did not cause much cell fusion at all," Liu said. "But we now see a trend with these new subvariants of increased cell fusion, and that trend puts the virus in a better position to cause infection and pathogenesis."

Other labs' studies of the bivalent booster's neutralizing antibody production suggest the updated booster would offer protection against the newer omicron subvariants, Liu said.

But Liu has submitted a paper for publication about another subvariant called XBB, a recombinant variant created by the exchange of genetic material between two BA.2 omicron subvariants, that shows what he calls "extraordinary" resistance to neutralizing antibodies produced by vaccination and previous infection.

"This virus can do unexpected things," he said. "We still have to do a good job of surveillance and keep our eye on these emerging variants of concern."

Well, Crap.

I was t even sure those are even available anymore anyway but was sure hoping so. I’d still take my chances if I needed the treatment!

Of course they do - the majority of people are vaxxed....it's math.... but interesting that the vaxxed aren't protected from serious illness. That wasn't what they were told when the vaxx was promoted to them.

The Health 202
Vaccinated people now make up a majority of covid deaths
Analysis by McKenzie Beard
November 23, 2022 at 7:46 a.m. EST

[...]

It’s no longer a pandemic of the unvaccinated

For the first time, a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine.

Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted, according to an analysis conducted for The Health 202 by Cynthia Cox, vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

It’s a continuation of a troubling trend that has emerged over the past year. As vaccination rates have increased and new variants appeared, the share of deaths of people who were vaccinated has been steadily rising. In September 2021, vaccinated people made up just 23 percent of coronavirus fatalities. In January and February this year, it was up to 42 percent, per our colleagues Fenit Nirappil and Dan Keating.

“We can no longer say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Cox told The Health 202.

Being unvaccinated is still a major risk factor for dying from covid-19. But efficacy wanes over time, and an analysis out last week from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights the need to get regular booster shots to keep one’s risk of death from the coronavirus low, especially for the elderly.

Anthony Fauci, the nation’s preeminent infectious-disease expert, used his last White House briefing yesterday ahead of his December retirement to urge Americans to get the recently authorized omicron-specific boosters.

“The final message I give you from this podium is that please, for your own safety, for that of your family, get your updated covid-19 shot as soon as you’re eligible,” he said.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:


Ratio shift

Cox, like many experts, says she’s not surprised by the ratio shift. There are a few reasons:

• At this point in the pandemic, a large majority of Americans have received at least their primary series of coronavirus vaccines, so it makes sense that vaccinated people are making up a greater share of fatalities.
• Individuals at greatest risk of dying from a coronavirus infection, such as the elderly, are also more likely to have received the shots.
• Vaccines lose potency against the virus over time and variants arise that are better able to resist the vaccines, so continued boosters are needed to continue to prevent illness and death.

The BA.5 omicron subvariant became dominant in July and consistently accounted for the majority of new coronavirus infections across the United States until earlier this month. The highly transmissible strain fueled a surge of new infections, reinfections and hospitalizations throughout the summer.
Boosters

It’s still true that vaccinated groups are at a lower risk of dying from a covid-19 infection than the unvaccinated when the data is adjusted for age. An analysis released by the CDC last week underscores the protection that additional booster shots offer against severe illness and death as immunity wanes.

Let’s take a look at deaths in August, when the highly contagious BA.5 variant reached its peak:

• That month, unvaccinated people aged 6 months and older died at about six times the rate of those who had received their primary series of shots.
• People with one booster dose were even better protected. Unvaccinated people over the age of 5 had about 8 times the risk of dying from a coronavirus infection than those who received a booster shot.
• Among individuals who were eligible to receive additional booster shots, the gap is even more striking. Unvaccinated people 50 and up had 12 times the risk of dying from covid-19 than adults the same age with two or more booster doses.

David French, senior editor for the Dispatch:


Six-week sprint

Americans’ uptake of the latest booster shots continues to be slow.

Around 35 million people have received the updated boosters that became available to people 12 and over in September and to children as young as 5 last month. That’s a little over 10 percent of the U.S. population, amid concern that cooler weather will bring a surge of covid cases as people move indoors and respiratory infections spread.

Yesterday, the White House announced a six-week push ahead of the holidays aimed at increasing booster uptake among seniors, people who are racial minorities and those who live in rural areas, all of which have disproportionately suffered severe disease and death during the coronavirus pandemic, our colleagues Frances Stead Sellers and Ariana Eunjung Cha write.

Senior officials said the Biden administration would direct some of its remaining resources to fight the pandemic into a $475 million campaign to support community health centers and organizations working to get the elderly and people with disabilities boosted.

The administration’s push coincided with the release of a CDC study offering the first evidence that the bivalent boosters are better at preventing symptomatic infection against newly circulating variants than earlier doses.

“I feel very confident that if people continue to get vaccinated at good numbers, if people get boosted, we can absolutely have a very safe and healthy holiday season,” Ashish Jha, White House coronavirus czar, said yesterday.

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.)

HD, at least they’re now saying openly it is the vaxxed who are the most sickest!

I’m not “counting my own chickens” before they’re hatched, I can promise you that. But I ***think, I’m watching this happen in real time with two coworkers. At least one of them, anyway.
She’s vaxxed up. She’s only worked for us since late spring? That girl has been sick the entire time.
She’s had covid 2-3 times. (Twice since our place? )…..she’s called off sick at LEAST once monthly.
Two weeks ago she had a coughing, snotty, hacking, drippy cold bug.
(I caught that from her but it was NOTHING as bad as hers was, not at all. I immediately doubled up on protocols, though, too)


This Sunday, she took ANOTHER Covid test but turns out she has a severe flu….stomach, fever, GI both ends , shaking type flu and not getting any better. A different coworker saw her yesterday and told me the girl looks very bad.

She’s in late 20’s probably or very early 30’s…overweight, probably other issues too, and from what I’ve seen, she lives on fast food/junk.

The same thing with another kid there. Same overweight issues and ALWAYS sick with something. It’s unreal!

I feel bad for them, honestly.
I could go on and on.
