At a virtual press conference held by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Dec. 28, 2020, WHO officials warned there is no guarantee that COVID-19 vaccines will prevent people from being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and transmitting it to other people.1 In a New Year’s Day interview with Newsweek, Anthony Fauci, MD, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), reinforced the WHO’s admission that health officials do not know if COVID-19 vaccines prevent infection or if people can spread the virus to others after getting vaccinated.2 According to U.S. and WHO health officials, vaccinated persons still need to mask and social distance because they could be able to spread the new coronavirus to others without knowing it.3 4

Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in December 2020 for Pfizer/BioNTech5 and Moderna6 to release their experimental mRNA vaccines for use in the U.S., the companies only provided evidence from clinical trials to demonstrate that their vaccines prevented more mild to severe COVID-19 disease symptoms in vaccinated participants compared to unvaccinated trial participants. The companies did not investigate whether the vaccines prevent people from becoming asymptomatically infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or transmitting it to other people.7 8

WHO Officials Say COVID-19 Vaccines Designed to Prevent Severe Disease

According to WHO officials, while it appears the vaccines can prevent clinically symptomatic COVID-19 clinical disease, there is no clear evidence COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing asymptomatic infection and transmission. During the press conference, WHO chief scientist and pediatrician Soumya Swaminathan, MD said:

We continue to wait for more results from the vaccine trials to really understand whether the vaccines, apart from preventing symptomatic disease and severe disease and deaths, whether they’re also going to reduce infection or prevent people from getting infected with the virus, then from passing it on or transmitting it to other people. I don’t’ believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on.9

Dr. Swaminathan said the COVID-19 vaccine was designed to first prevent symptomatic disease, severe disease and deaths. Mark Ryan, MD, MPH, who is executive director of the WHO Health Emergencies Program, agreed with Swaminathan and added:

So the first primary objective is to decrease the impact the disease is having on people’s lives and, therefore, that will be a major step forward in bringing the world back to some kind of normal. The second phase is then looking at how will this vaccine affect transmission. We just don’t know enough yet about length of protection and other things to be absolutely able to predict that, but we should be able to get good control of the virus.10

SARS-CoV-2 Eradication Via Mass Vaccination is a “Moonshot”

Dr. Ryan also pointed out that the decision by WHO to try to eradicate the SARS-CoV-2 virus “requires a much higher degree of efficiency and effectiveness in the vaccination program and the other control measures” and that it is likely the new coronavirus will “become another endemic virus, a virus that will remain somewhat of a threat but a very low level threat in the context of an effective vaccination program.”

Ryan cautioned that, like with measles and polio, there is no guarantee of eliminating the SARS-CoV-2 virus through mass vaccination programs. He said:

The existence of a vaccine even at high efficacy is no guarantee of eliminating or eradicating an infectious disease. That’s a very high bar for us to be able to get over. First, we have to focus on saving lives, getting good control of this epidemic, and then we will deal with the moonshot of potentially being able to eliminate or eradicate this virus.11

Azar Says Get Vaccinated But Still Mask Up

In a Dec. 22 interview, HHS Secretary Alex Azar told Fox News that the current “consensus” among health officials is that people who get two doses of COVID-19 vaccine should still mask up and practice social distancing. He said:

We’re still studying some fundamental scientific questions though, such as, once you’ve been vaccinated, do you sill need to wear a mask to protect others, could you still be carrying the virus even though you’re protected from it…If you’re getting vaccinated right now, still social distance, still wear a mask, but all these [recommendations] have to be data and science-driven, so we’re working to generate the data there so that as we go forward, we’ll be able to advise people on a foundation of data.12

Fauci Says “We don’t know what we don’t know,” but COVID-19 Vaccine Passports and Mandates May Be Coming

In an interview on CNN in early April 2020 when most states were in some form of a coronavirus lockdown, Dr. Fauci told Alyson Camerota that, “It’s very likely that there are a large number of people out there that have been infected, have been asymptomatic, and did not know they were infected.”13 Eight months later, on New Year’s Day 2021, Dr. Fauci told Newsweek that in his role as the new Administration’s chief medical advisor, there is a possibility the federal government will eventually introduce “COVID-19 vaccine passports” and that some city, county or state governments and businesses will make COVID-19 vaccines mandatory, including in schools.14

Everything will be on the table,” Dr. Fauci declared.

A week earlier, Fauci told The New York Times that between 70 percent and 90 percent of the U.S. population would need to get COVID-19 vaccinations in order for the country to reach vaccine-acquired herd immunity. He explained why he has continued to shift the “herd immunity” goal post over the past year:

When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent. Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so I went to 80, 85… We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent.15

Even as Fauci discussed vaccine passports and mandates in Newsweek, he admitted proving that COVID-19 vaccines do more than prevent clinical disease but also block infection and transmission has been elusive. He emphasized that persons who get vaccinated still must wear masks:

We do not know if the vaccines that prevent clinical disease also prevent infection. They very well might, but we have not proven that yet….That’s the reason I keep saying that even though you get vaccinated, we should not eliminate, at all, public health measures like wearing masks because we don’t know yet what the effect [of the vaccine] is on transmissibility.16

Fauci added, “We don’t know what we don’t know.”

Immunity Passports: Suggested Soon After the COVID-19 Pandemic Began

Government health officials in Israel are getting ready to issue a COVID-19 “green passport” to citizens who have received two COVID-19 shots, which will exempt them from travel restrictions and testing for infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus or being required to quarantine after exposure to an infected person. 17 Technology companies have been working on creating a digital certificate, which contains personal medical information giving evidence that an individual has been vaccinated and can be used as a screening tool by employers, businesses and owners or operators of services and public venues, such as airlines, theme parks, concert halls, hotels and other places where people gather in groups with other people.18 19 20 21

Immediately after the coronavirus pandemic was declared by the WHO last winter, Silicon Valley businessman Bill Gates began talking about the need for issuing digital certificates proving immunity to the virus and, once a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, proof of vaccination. In a comment posted on Reddit in March 2020, Gates said, “Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.”22 That same month in a TED Talk, Gates explained how lockdowns and resulting “economic pain” will prevent people from getting naturally acquired immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and that immunity “certificates” will eventually be required. Gates said:

Now we don’t want to have a lot of recovered people, you know. To be clear, we’re trying through the shutdown in the United States, to not get to one percent of the population infected. We’re well below that today, but with exponentiation you could get past that three million. I believe we will be able to avoid that with having this economic pain.

Eventually, what we’ll have to have is certificates of who is a recovered person, who’s a vaccinated person, because you don’t want people moving around the world where you’ll have some countries that won’t have it under control, sadly. You don’t want to completely block off the ability for people to go there and come back and move around.23

In an Apr. 9 interview on National Public Radio (NPR), Gates returned to the message that some “social distancing” measures have to stay in place “until we get a vaccine that almost everybody’s had.” He said:

What I’m saying, what Dr. Anthony Fauci is saying, what some other experts are saying, there’s a great deal of consistency. We’re not sure yet which activities should be resumed, because until we get a vaccine that almost everybody’s had, the risk of a rebound will be there.24

As of Jan. 3, 2020, the CDC had recorded over 20 million COVID-19 cases and nearly 350,000 related deaths.25

New Study: Evidence of Lasting Immunity After Mild or Asymptomatic COVID-19 Infection

A study was published in Science Immunology on Dec. 24, 2020 by scientists from Queen Mary, University of London in which they analyzed antibody and T cell responses in 136 London health care workers and reported that there was evidence of protective immunity up to four months after mild or asymptomatic COVID-19.26 A press release issued by the University stated that mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections represent the largest infected group and noted that researchers found T cell responses tended to be higher in those with the classic, defining symptoms of COVID-19, while asymptomatic infection resulted in a weaker T cell immunity than symptomatic infection, but equivalent neutralizing antibody responses.27

One of the researchers commented:

Our study of SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers from London hospitals reveals that four months after infection, around 90 percent of individuals have antibodies to block the virus. Even more encouragingly, in 66 percent of healthcare workers we see levels of these protective antibodies are high and that this robust antibody response is complemented by T cells which we see reacting to various parts of the virus. This is good news. It means that if you have been infected there is a good chance that you will have developed antibodies and T cells that may provide some protection if you encounter the virus again.28

Interview With Del Bigtree: COVID Vaccine Could Make The Virus Far More Deadly, Leave Women Infertile

During an epic, Wednesday broadcast of War Room, film producer Del Bigtree sat down with Owen Shroyer to detail issues with rapidly manufactured COVID vaccines.

One of the key factors Bigtree notes is that the FDA admits there is a risk of a “vaccine-enhanced disease.”

Bigtree explained, “Vaccine-enhanced disease, this is immune enhancement I’m talking about, a deadly problem they’ve been seeing in all the animal trials.”

Reading from an FDA document on the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, Bigtree said, “Available data do not indicate a risk of vaccine-enhanced disease, and conversely suggest effectiveness against severe disease within the available follow-up period. However, risk of vaccine-enhanced disease over time, potentially associated with waning immunity, remains unknown and needs to be evaluated further in ongoing clinical trials and in observational studies that could be conducted following authorization and/or licensure.“

“Remember,” Bigtree noted. “They’re asking right there, ‘We want to be licensed, we want this emergency use. But we are telling you that this vaccine may get people killed because we haven’t overcome the issue where animals were dying in our trials.’ That’s terrifying!”

He also warned of the possibility that the antibodies meant to attack the Spike protein instead attack a woman’s placenta because the placenta’s outer lair, the syncytin, resembles the Spike protein so much.

“If it starts attacking placentas, no one will be able to get pregnant. These are legitimate theoretical issues.”

Many Health Care Workers Concerned About Safety of COVID-19 Vaccines

BY RISHMA PARPIA

SEE: https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/12/many-health-care-workers-concerned-about-safety-of-covid-19-vaccines/;

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Many health care workers are hesitant to get the experimental COVID-19 vaccines.
  • One of the most common reasons given by health care workers for not getting the vaccine is a lack of data on the long-term effects of the vaccine.
  • The CDC reported that addressing vaccine hesitancy among health care workers is their top priority since health care workers need to become “ambassadors” for the vaccine when it will be offered to the general public.

Frontline health care workers are the first to be offered the emergency use authorization (EUA) COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by Pfizer, Inc. (and BioNTech SE) and Moderna, Inc. Many nurses and emergency-response workers, however, have expressed reluctance to get the vaccine.1

According to a survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in September 2020, 63 percent of health care personnel reported that they would be likely to get a COVID-19 vaccine.2 The American Nurses Foundation reported that 36 percent of nurses’ survey said they would not get the COVID-19 vaccine.3

Many health care professionals are concerned that the COVID-19 vaccine development occurred too quickly with not enough information about vaccine safety and side effects.4 Maryland-based registered nurse Amelia Foster said she would like to see longer-term data before she is confident it is safe. She said, “You just don’t know what the effects are and that’s scary.”

Foster adds:

No one wants to be a guinea pig. Every medication out there has its risks and side effects. Not everyone is affected, but it could possibly make your immune system go haywire and that’s scary.5

Some younger medical workers are reluctant because of possible adverse effects such as infertility.6 Although the CDC has reported that the potential risks of messenger RNA vaccines to the pregnant person and the fetus are unknown because these vaccines have not been studied in pregnant women,7 the CDC and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommend that COVID-19 vaccines should not be withheld from pregnant women if pregnant people are part of a group that is recommended to receive a COVID-19 vaccine (e.g., health care personnel).8

Jessica Romanowski, a surgical technician at McLaren Flint Hospital in Flint, Michigan said:

My husband and I are also looking to start a family soon, and what long term side effects would this vaccine present to myself—or my child? History has shown us what can happen when drugs aren’t tested properly, that was evident with the drug thalidomide.9

Health Care Professionals are Expected to Be Vaccine “Ambassadors”

A survey conducted by the American Nurses Foundation found that only 57 percent of nurses were comfortable discussing COVID-19 vaccines with patients.10 Given that so many health care workers are expressing concerns and anxiety about the EUA COVID-19 vaccines, the CDC has said that addressing vaccine hesitancy among this group is a top priority because health care workers are also big influencers on their patients.11 12

“We encourage physicians to learn all they can because if we don’t have complete confidence in the vaccines, we’ll never convince our patients to have complete confidence,” said Susan Bailey, MD, president of the American Medical Association (AMA).13

William Schaffner, MD, professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine said:

Skepticism about something as new as this vaccine is reasonable whether you’re a health care worker or not. It’s a brand-new virus and brand-new vaccines developed with brand-new technologies. What could go wrong?14

He added, “We need a lot of information and a lot of reassurance. The facts aren’t enough. It will be very important for health care providers to get the vaccine so they can model the behavior and personalize their stories.”14

COVID-19 Vaccines May Become Mandatory for Health Care Workers

Currently, employers cannot force their health care workers to get the EUA COVID-19 vaccines; however, some hospitals and clinics have reportedly said that if nurses and other health care professionals continue to refuse to get vaccinated, they will require COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for employment.15 16

Patient in Georgia, Health Worker in New York Suffer Anaphylaxis After Getting Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine

Patient in Georgia, Health Worker in New York Suffer Anaphylaxis After Getting Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine - The Vaccine Reaction

SEE: https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/12/patient-in-georgia-health-worker-in-new-york-suffer-anaphylaxis-after-getting-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-vaccine/;

On Dec. 22, 2020, a patient at Decatur Morgan Hospital in Decatur, Alabama suffered a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis just minutes after receiving Pfizer/BioNTech’s experimental messenger RNA (mRNA) BNT162b2 vaccine for COVID-19.1 2 3

In a press release, the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) stated the patient, who reportedly had a history of allergic reactions, was “immediately treated with anaphylaxis protocol at Decatur Morgan Hospital where the vaccine was administered” and was in stable condition and appeared to be recovering. “As required by the emergency use authorization (EUA) the adverse reaction has been documented and reported to the manufacturer,” the ADPH confirmed.1 2 3

According to Karen Landers, MD of the ADPH, examples of anaphylaxis symptoms, which can be life-threatening, are tightness in the chest, coughing, wheezing, swelling of the lips and tightness in the throat.4 5 The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) notes that other symptoms of anaphylaxis may include hives, hypotension (low blood pressure) and shock.6

Multiple Cases of Anaphylaxis After COVID-19 Vaccination Reported in U.S.

There have been multiple reports of anaphylaxis in following administration of the first of two scheduled doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine during the past month and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating these cases to determine the cause of the severe allergic reactions.7 8 9 10

Peter Marks, MD, PhD, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, has suggested the “culprit” behind the reactions could be a chemical ingredient called polyethylene glycol (PEG)—a polymer derived from petroleum used as an excipient (a diluting agent) in both the BNT162b2 vaccine and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine known as mRNA-1273.7 11 12

On Dec. 23, another case of anaphylaxis following vaccination with the BNT162b2 vaccine was reported in New York City. The case involved a health care worker who suffered a “significant allergic reaction.” The individual, who works for the Mount Sinai Health System, was reported to be in stable condition and recovering.13 14 15 16

‘White Privilege’ Means No Vaccine for Grandma

Now that a Wuhan coronavirus vaccine is here, the leftists of our media and university systems want to make sure that Caucasians cannot receive it, especially the elderly, who are the most vulnerable. Life is apparently a privilege, and whites already have too much privilege. Thus, things are being "leveled" for fairness.

Florida: Governor DeSantis breaks with CDC, will vaccinate elderly/seniors first before “essential workers”

BY RICK MORAN

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2020/12/24/gov-desantis-breaks-with-cdc-will-vaccinate-elderly-before-essential-workers-n1228975;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

There are more than three million Florida citizens over the age of 70 and Governor Ron DeSantis doesn’t believe they should have to wait to get protected from COVID. He announced plans to defy the CDC guidelines on who should get priority treatment in vaccinations and will inoculate older Floridians ahead of “essential workers.”

“In Florida, we’ve got to put our parents and grandparents first and that’s what we’re going to be doing,” DeSantis told reporters. “And we’re going to work like hell to be able to get all the vaccines out to elderly who want it.”

It’s hard to argue with that reasoning.

“Essential workers” include postal workers, first responders, grocery store workers, teachers, and others according to the CDC. “We are not going to put young, healthy workers ahead of our elderly vulnerable population,” DeSantis added.

Orlando Sentinel:

“For us in Florida, we’re making clear the executive order… is to vaccinate people 65 and up,” Gov. DeSantis told reporters during a vaccination demonstration at Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. He added that elderly residents, who face a greater risk of death from COVID-19, should take precedence over younger essential workers.

The order requires vaccine providers in the first phase to administer vaccines only to long-term care facility residents and staffers; those 65 and older; and health care staffers with direct contact with patients.

There is going to be a bottleneck in getting so many doses to all those who need it and want it.

DeSantis said the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are already in most hospitals, and county health departments could start inoculating as early as Monday. But he also cautioned that health departments would have a limited supply on hand.

“We’re going to continue to receive hundreds of thousands of doses for the vaccine,” he said.

There have been 68,133 people vaccinated with the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in Florida through Tuesday, according to state data. Those who receive the first dose must get a second booster shot about 21 days later to be fully immunized.

Some Democratic governors like Illinois’ J.B. Pritzjer are whining about not getting their share of vaccines. In fact, since there are two doses needed to fully immunize someone, the feds were sending states half the number of doses promised while preparing to send the other half in a couple of weeks.

But that didn’t stop Pritzker from grousing. With millions of doses on ice in warehouses, the paranoid Pritzker believes the president is punishing him for his heavy criticism.

WBEZ:

The announcement prompted Pfizer to release a statement of its own on Thursday morning saying a reduction in vaccines going to states did not come from any issues in manufacturing or delivering the vaccines. The pharmaceutical company added it has millions more doses sitting in warehouses awaiting instructions from the federal government about where to ship them.

Pritzker on Thursday seemed to throw up his hands at Pfizer’s statement.

“I don’t know what to say about that,” the governor said. “I have not had any direct conversations with the people who control those doses. Our (Illinois Department of Public Health) talks to the federal government every day and we’ve not been informed why the federal government is not drawing down those vaccines.”

In contrast to Pritzker, DeSantis isn’t whining or complaining, he’s acting. Perhaps Pritzker could learn a lesson from Florida and do the same.

 

DAVID CLOUD’S “WAY OF LIFE” RECENT ARTICLES

Dr. Pierre Kory testifies to Senate Committee about Ivermectin, Dec. 8, 2020

Appearing as a witness on Dec. 8, 2020, before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs—which held a hearing on “Early Outpatient Treatment: An Essential Part of a COVID-19 Solution”— Dr. Pierre Kory, President of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), called for the government to swiftly review the already expansive and still rapidly emerging medical evidence on Ivermectin.

The data shows the ability of the drug Ivermectin to prevent COVID-19, to keep those with early symptoms from progressing to the hyper-inflammatory phase of the disease, and even to help critically ill patients recover. Dr. Kory testified that Ivermectin is effectively a “miracle drug” against COVID-19 and called upon the government’s medical authorities—the NIH, CDC, and FDA—to urgently review the latest data and then issue guidelines for physicians, nurse-practitioners, and physician assistants to prescribe Ivermectin for COVID-19.

We are keen to avoid quackery on all fronts, theological, political, and medical. The Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), which is not quackery, is recommending the use of Ivermectin as a “miracle cure” and “wonder drug” for prevention and early treatment of Covid-19. We don’t know if it is true that no one who takes Ivermectin will get Covid, but it is obvious from the studies so far that it has a major effect. On Dec. 8, 2020, Dr. Pierre Kory, President of the FLCCC appeared before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs in Washington, D.C., to testify of the group’s scientific findings. Dr. Kory said, “We are a group of one of the most highly published physicians in the world. We have nearly 2,000 peer-reviewed publications among us. Led by Professor Paul Marik, who is our intellectual leader, we came together early on in the pandemic, and all we have sought is to review the world’s literature on every factor of this disease, trying to develop effective protocols. I was here [before the Senate committee] in May, and I recommended that it was critical that we use corticosteroids in treating this disease, when all of the national and international health care organizations said we cannot use those. That turned out to be a life-saving recommendation. I’m here again today with a new recommendation. ... We have a solution to this crisis. There is a drug that is proving to be of miraculous impact, and when I say ‘miracle’ I do not use that term lightly. I don’t want to be sensationalized when I say that. This is a scientific recommendation based on mountains of data that has emerged in the last three months. When I am told that we are touting things that are not FDA recommended, let me be clear, the NIH [National Institutes of Health], their recommendation on Ivermectin, which is to not use it outside of controlled trials, is from August 27. We are now in December. This is three to four months later. Mountains of data have emerged from many centers and countries from around the world showing the miraculous effect of Ivermectin. It basically obliterates transmission of this virus. ... Our manuscript details all of this evidence. ... We now have four large randomized controlled trials totaling over 1,500 patients, each trial showing that as a prophylaxis agent it is immensely effective. ... In early outpatient treatment, we have three randomized control trials and multiple observation as well as case series showing that if you take Ivermectin the need for hospitalization and death will decrease. ... We have four randomized control trials there, multiple observation trials, all showing the same thing. You will not die, or you will die at much, much lower rates, statistically significant, large magnitude results if you take Ivermectin. It is proving to be a wonder drug. It has already won the Noble prize in medicine in 2015 for its impact on global health in the eradication of parasitic diseases. ... Our manuscript has been submitted for peer review, but please recognize that peer review takes months, and we don’t have months. We have 100,000 patients in the hospitals right now dying. I am a lung specialist. I am an ICU specialist. I’ve cared for more dying Covid patients than anyone can imagine. They’re dying because they can’t breathe. ... They are on high velocity oxygen delivery devices, non-evasive ventilators, and/or they are sedated and paralyzed and attached to mechanical ventilators that breathe for them. ... By the time they get to me in the ICU, they are dying, they are almost impossible to recover. Early treatment is key. ... Any further deaths are going to be needless deaths. I cannot keep caring for patients when I know that they could have been saved with early treatment, and that drug that will treat them and prevent the hospitalization is Ivermectin.” Dr. Kory called upon the government’s medical authorities--the NIH, CDC, and FDA--to urgently review the latest data and then issue guidelines for physicians, nurse-practitioners, and physician assistants to prescribe Ivermectin for COVID-19.

SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN RESTRICTIONS ON COLORADO AND NEW JERSEY CHURCHES

The following is excerpted from “Supreme Court Slaps Down,” The Federalist, Dec. 15, 2020: “The Supreme Court sided with a rural Colorado church Tuesday that challenged the state Democrat governor’s COVID rules restricting building capacity in some parts of the state. The 6-3 decision overturned lower court rulings that had upheld Gov. Jared Polis’s church gathering limits to a maximum of 25 percent or 50 people, whichever is fewer, and ordered lower courts to re-examine the case. ‘Today in Colorado it is perfectly legal for hundreds of shoppers to pack themselves cheek by jowl into a Lowes or other big box store or patronize any one of the thousands of other retail establishments that are not subject to draconian numerical limits,’ church attorney Barry Arrington told National Review. The case was brought by the High Plains Harvest Church north of Denver, arguing the state was unlawfully targeting religious institutions by imposing harsher restrictions on churches than shopping centers. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court also handed down its ruling on a New Jersey case brought by a Catholic priest and a rabbi. This ruling overturned limits on religious gatherings in houses of worship, wiping out executive rule-favoring opinions in the lower courts. The cases upholding religious liberty come on the heels of rare public remarks by Justice Samuel Alito criticizing coronavirus lockdowns this year as placing ‘previously unimaginable’ restrictions on American freedom. ‘We have never before seen restrictions as severe, extensive and prolonged as those experienced for most of 2020,’ Alito said in a virtual speech to The Federalist Society. ‘The COVID crisis has served as sort of a constitutional stress test.’” PJMedia added, “This would appear to open the door to churches nationwide to decide their own COVID policies. ... The arrival of Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the court has proven to be a godsend to religious liberty” (“Supreme Court,” PJMedia, Dec. 15, 2020).

The CDC’s Affirmative Action Eugenics for the Coronavirus Vaccine

When the government decides who gets to live or die based on race.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, the CDC was too busy fighting racism to do its job. As the vaccine rolls out, the CDC decided to build the vaccine waiting list around affirmative action.

Who gets to live or die? Much like in Nazi Germany, it helps to be a member of the right race.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has announced that the priorities for distributing vaccines are to prevent death, preserve society, and help those facing "disparities", and then maybe, "increase the chance for everyone to enjoy health and well-being."

Vaccine distribution is to be guided by four principles, one of which is to fight "health inequities" and another is to "promote justice". It's not the CDC's job to fight for social justice, but to fight viruses. Having failed miserably at its one job, which it chose not to do, it's instead pursuing racial equity eugenics by tackling "health inequities" for "racial and ethnic minority groups".

The CDC and NIH had turned to the National Academies to produce A Framework for Equitable Allocation of Vaccine for the Novel Coronavirus which falsely claimed that "COVID-19 illnesses and deaths are strongly associated with race" due to "systemic racism" and that a "vaccine allocation framework" had to reduce these "health inequities" with affirmative action.

The report noted that the "committee anticipates that the criteria will, in practice, tend to give higher priority to lower-income individuals... and Black, Hispanic or Latin, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities."

A government agency had paid for and was making use of a report which would decide who was to live or die based on race and income. And no one was willing to say a word about it.

Tennessee's Department of Health had already announced that it would be using the National Academies report and intended to dedicate 10% of the vaccines to SVI "vulnerable" areas.

The eugenics strategy of public health had been baked in long before the pandemic with the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index. SVI was supposed to help rush aid during a natural disaster to those who might need it the most, but SVI added race as a "vulnerability" to create affirmative action disaster relief. During a hurricane, your odds of getting help increased if you were in a minority area. And it decreased if you ranked higher on the SVI because you had more income.

This was bad enough. But now vaccine distribution will be driven by the SVI’s numbers.

At least 26 states are going to be using SVI for the vaccine rollout.  Not all of them are planning to use it to decide who gets the vaccine based on their race. Some intend to use it, as originally intended, to spread awareness, but other states are going all in on racial equity eugenics.

Ohio’s vaccination plan indicates that state health authorities will focus on "equity" and will use federal guidance to "ensure equity in distribution" and address "racial and ethnic disparities".

In Tennessee, "priority will be given to areas in the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index".

Minnesota's vaccine distribution guidelines put promoting justice in second place and warned that vaccine doses will be allowed based on the needs of health care personnel, nursing home residents, and SVI areas. The Minnesota guidelines define “other attributes to be considered in prioritization” as including, “people from certain racial and ethnic minority groups who are

disproportionately affected by COVID-19”: treating minority status as a medical vulnerability.

That’s how ‘health equity’ medicalizes minority status and turns it into a medical disability.

States that don’t use the SVI may actually be using even more outrageously racist guidelines. California’s Community Vaccine Advisory Committee began with proposals to have groups that were the victims of "historical injustices" be first in line for the vaccine. The committee consists of medical groups, as well as radical leftist groups like the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, several unions, and assorted minority activist groups. CVAC put “equity” second on its priority list.

Vaccine equity eugenics hit the public eye when a New York Times article quoted Harald Schmidt, a German academic who had worked for Germany’s Ministry of Health and the European Parliament, and acts as an adviser to UNESCO and the  World Bank's Population and Reproductive Health Unit, suggesting that minorities should go ahead of older people.

“Older populations are whiter, ” Dr. Schmidt was quoted as saying. “Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.”.

"Dr. Schmidt" has an MA in Philosophy from the University of Munster, the academic home of one of the most notorious Nazi eugenicists who worked under Mengele, and also boasts a PhD in Health Policy from the London School of Economics.

Like Jill Biden, he’s not a doctor, but that didn’t stop the Journal of the American Medical Association from publishing a paper co-authored by Schmidt titled, “Is It Lawful and Ethical to Prioritize Racial Minorities for COVID-19 Vaccines?” which gamed potential affirmative action eugenic court cases by focusing on factors like "geography, socioeconomic status, and housing density that would favor racial minorities de facto, but not explicitly include race."

While Schmidt has gotten the bulk of the attention, the paper was also authored by Michelle A. Williams, the dean of Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Larry Gostin who heads the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law. Schmidt, as well as his co-authors, took part in the Vaccine Allocation and Social Justice event, along with Philadelphia's Deputy Health Commissioner, a strategic adviser to the Davos-based Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Initiatives, along with top state health officers from Tennessee, California, and Illinois.

And Nancy McClung: a former nurse who serves on the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ Ethical Principles for Allocating Initial Supplies of COVID-19 Vaccine.

The research materials included a paper co-authored by Ezekiel Emanuel, an Obamacare architect and a prominent proponent of triage, who had already co-authored another paper,  which had warned that while directly prioritizing race "would likely be ruled unconstitutional", the better approach would be "considering vulnerabilities that, while possible for people of all races, are commonly produced by racism".

Finally, Emanuel noted that "disparities could be further reduced by avoiding prioritization strategies, such as age-based preference, that risk widening racial and socioeconomic disparities."

The paper co-authored by the man who wrote Why I Hope to Die at 75 was saying the same thing Schmidt had said but coded in the ambiguous language of public policy. The elderly should not get access to the vaccine earlier because they are on average more likely to be white and wealthy and saving their lives first would widen “racial and socioeconomic disparities”.

A decade after Obamacare opponents were ridiculed for warning about death panels, national and local governments are following triage measures that decide who lives or dies by race.

The CDC evolved and deployed this policy while Republicans were at the helm, and did nothing.

It’s not too late to stop it.

President Trump can clean house at the CDC and take as many of the decisions about vaccine policy out of its hands as possible. Republican governors and legislatures should stop letting the same experts who have botched the pandemic every step of the way use SVI for the vaccine.

Whatever happens this time around, using tools like SVI creates a horrifying legal and medical precedent in which medical treatment gets allocated based on minority status. As socialized medicine digs deeper into medical decision making, this will become the norm.

Beyond the pandemic, waiting for a kidney transplant, hip replacement surgery, or a scarce medication will be determined by medicalizing privilege and treating minority status as an illness in greater need of care and ‘whiteness’ as a sign of health privilege that requires less care.

Affirmative action is merging with death panels to transform equity into triage. If we don’t stop it, it will kill us. Reverting to the worst abuses of segregation will kill our souls and then our bodies.

Over 3,000 “Health Impact Events” After COVID-19 mRNA Vaccinations

BY BARBARA LOE FISHER

Between Dec. 11 and 18, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna pharmaceutical companies an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)1 to distribute COVID-19 vaccines using messenger RNA (mRNA) technology that to date has not been licensed for use in humans.2 3 4 5 Although the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) held two special Saturday meetings to create national vaccine use recommendations for the two vaccines,6 7 legally both vaccines remain experimental until they have been formally licensed by the FDA.8 As initial supplies of the vaccines roll out into the states and health care workers treating COVID-19 patients in hospitals and medical facilities are the first to be vaccinated, reports of vaccine reactions are emerging.9

On Dec. 19, 2020, at a special meeting of the ACIP,10 the CDC presented information released by the ACIP COVID-19 Vaccines Work Group “Anaphylaxis Following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Receipt.”11 According to the CDC, by Dec. 18 there had been six case reports of anaphylaxis following Pfizer/BioNTech vaccinations that met the Brighton Collaboration criteria for anaphylaxis, which is a potentially life threatening reaction that occurs when immune cells overreact to a substance that has entered the body and a hyper-inflammatory response is triggered involving sudden release of histamine and other chemicals that may cause:12 13

  • skin redness, hives, and itching;
  • swelling of the eyes, lips, tongue, throat, hands, feet;
  • trouble swallowing and breathing, wheezing;
  • diarrhea or vomiting;
  • abdominal or chest pain;
  • fast or irregular heartbeat;
  • dizziness, sudden drop in blood pressure;
  • headache;
  • confusion, vision and speech problems;
  • shock/loss of consciousness;
  • cardiac arrest;
  • death

Foods are the most common triggers for anaphylactic reactions, followed by drugs/biologicals, insect stings, and idiopathic anaphylaxis (anaphylaxis of unknown cause). A shot of epinephrine is the first-line immediate treatment for anaphylaxis.14

Vaccines are known to cause allergic and anaphylactic reactions within minutes to four hours of vaccination, but CDC officials have long considered vaccine-associated anaphylaxis to be rare, stating in a 2018 study that:

Vaccine-associated hypersensitivity reactions are not infrequent; however, serious acute-onset, presumably IgE–mediated or IgG and complement-mediated anaphylactic or serious delayed-onset T cell–mediated systemic reactions are considered extremely rare.

The CDC confirmed that one person, who had an anaphylactic reaction following administration of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, had a previous history of anaphylaxis after a rabies vaccination. The CDC said the reported cases of anaphylaxis are being reviewed by federal health officials.15

CDC Reports More Than 3,000 “Health Impact Events” After COVID-19 Shots

At the Dec. 19 ACIP meeting, a chart entitled “V-safe Active Surveillance for COVID-19 Vaccines” was presented indicating that between Dec. 14 and Dec. 18, there were 272,001 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine administered and 3,150 “Health Impact Events” recorded, including 514 events in pregnant women after receipt of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. The chart gave no further details about the nature of the more than 3,000 Health Impact Events recorded by the CDC.16

The CDC’s definition of Health Impact Events is “unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work, required care from doctor or health care professional.”

Great Britain First Reported Anaphylaxis Cases After COVID-19 Shots

Britain was the first country to vaccinate frontline health workers and the elderly with the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine beginning on Dec. 8. Within 24 hours, Reuters reported that there had been two cases anaphylaxis and one possible allergic reaction in health care workers receiving the first doses of the vaccine. Reportedly, both health care workers had a history of allergic reactions and carried an epi-pen. On Dec. 9, the chief executive of Britain’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) stated that, “any person with a history of anaphylaxis to a vaccine, medicine or food should not receive the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.”17

Alaska Health Care Workers Had Allergic Reactions to Covid-19 Vaccine

On Dec. 16, The New York Times reported that two health care workers in Alaska who got the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine suffered allergic reactions. One worker had a reaction serious enough to require hospitalization.18

A middle aged woman with no history of allergies experienced shortness of breath, elevated heart rate and a rash covering her face and torso within 10 minutes of receiving the vaccine. She was immediately treated with epinephrine and her reaction subsided but then re-emerged and she was given IV epinephrine and steroids, hospitalized in the intensive care unit for one night and spent a second night in the hospital further recovering. According to CNN, the allergic reactions experienced by the two Alaska health care workers after the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccinations were reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS).19

History of Anaphylactic Reaction to Previous Dose of COVID-19 Vaccine Only Contraindication

The CDC states there is one contraindication to the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine: “Severe allergic reaction (e.g. anaphylaxis) to any component of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine listed in the prescribing information is a contraindication to vaccination.” However, there is one precaution:20

CDC considers a history of severe allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis to any vaccine or to any injectable therapy (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous) as a precaution, but not a contraindication.

Currently, the government does not consider a history of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, to foods, drugs, other vaccines or environmental substances to be a reason to not receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

Dermal Fillers May Be Associated with Facial, Lip Swelling After Moderna COVID-19 Shots

On Dec. 17, there was a report published in Drug Discovery and Development, that “temporary facial swelling might be another mild side effect for [Moderna Covid-19] vaccine recipients who have had prior dermal fillers,” such as injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) used in certain plastic surgery procedures.

Reportedly, in Moderna’s Phase 3 trials, three people developed facial or lip swelling after receiving the vaccine and two of the patients had prior dermal fillers in their cheeks within six months before vaccination. The third patient had received dermal filler in the lip two days after receiving the vaccine and had reported similar swelling in the past after receiving a flu vaccine. Antihistamines and steroids were used to treat the patients.

FDA Recommends Watching for Bell’s Palsy After COVID-19 Vaccinations

On Dec. 15, CNBC reported that the FDA staff recommends monitoring people who get COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna for symptoms of Bell’s palsy, which involves inflammation and paralysis of the nerve that controls facial muscles.21 The recommendation came after clinical trial data for both vaccines was analyzed by FDA staff.

In trials of the Moderna vaccine involving about 30,000 participants, there were four reported cases of Bell’s palsy and three had received the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, while one received a placebo. In clinical trials of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine involving about 42,000 participants, there were four reported cases of Bell’s palsy and all had received the experimental vaccine while no cases of Bell’s palsy occurred in the placebo arm of the trial.

FDA staff said there wasn’t enough data from the trials to determine causation, but that there should be increased monitoring for cases of Bell’s palsy as the mRNA vaccines are given to millions of people.

Bell’s palsy can cause facial paralysis (usually one side of face) and drooling, pain around jaw and ear, increased sensitivity to sound, headache, loss of taste and changes in production of tears and saliva.22 It can develop after a viral infection and has been reported following influenza vaccination.23 24

According to Mayo Clinic, “For most people, Bell’s palsy is temporary. Symptoms usually start to improve within a few weeks, with complete recovery in about six months. A small number of people continue to have some Bell’s palsy symptoms for life. Rarely, Bell’s palsy can recur.”25

Frequently Reported mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Reactions

Both the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines require two doses given three to four weeks apart. The CDC states that most common side effects of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are injection site redness and pain, fever, chills, fatigue (tiredness) and headache.

The CDC warns that, “these side effects may feel like the flu and may even affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days,” and instructs people to “get the second shot even if you have side effects after the first one, unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to get a second shot.”26

Vaccine Companies, Providers Shielded from Liability for COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries and Deaths

The vaccine manufacturers, doctors and all COVID-19 vaccine providers are completely shielded from civil liability for vaccine injuries and deaths that occur in the U.S. after COVID-19 vaccinations under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act passed by Congress in 2005.27 The Act gives a liability shield to the manufacturer of any vaccine or drug developed in response to a health emergency like a pandemic causes when a vaccine or drug causes the death or permanent injury of an individual who receives it during pre-licensure clinical trials or after it is released for public use.

Individuals who die or suffer serious harm directly caused by the administration of covered countermeasures, such as vaccines, may be eligible to receive compensation through the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,28 whether or not the harm was a result of willful misconduct on the part of the vaccine manufacturer or person administering the vaccine.

SARAH CORRIHER: Vaccine Elitists Like Ben Shapiro

The elitists amongst us are preparing to forcibly intervene with the most rushed and least tested medical therapy in the history of the world. If it goes horribly wrong for your family, you cannot sue the pundits who promoted it, the government that fast-tracked it, or even the manufacturers themselves. Meanwhile, we (the plebs) are to become the forced test subjects in the experimental group, and we must never question "the science".

Twitter Says It Will REMOVE All Posts Claiming Vaccines Can Harm People

Despite widespread reports of health workers having allergic reactions to Pfizer shot

BY STEVE WATSON

Twitter has declared that it will remove all posts that suggest there are any “adverse impacts or effects of receiving vaccinations,” despite reports already emerging of health workers getting sick from taking Pfizer’s coronavirus shot.

Twitter announced that beginning next week it will memory-hole any posts that “invoke a deliberate conspiracy” or “advance harmful, false, or misleading narratives” about vaccines.

“Using a combination of technology and human review, we will begin enforcing this updated policy on December 21, and expanding our actions during the following weeks,” the company proclaimed.

Twitter added that it will be monitoring posts about vaccinations “in close consultation with local, national, and global public health authorities around the world.”

Nurses across the country are refusing to take the COVID Vaccine as Big Pharma’s propaganda machine pushes it on the masses.

The tech company will also wipe any posts that suggest vaccines “are used to intentionally cause harm,” or “control populations,” or are “unnecessary.” 

The statement also notes that posts will be scrubbed if they contain “false claims which have been widely debunked about the adverse impacts or effects of receiving vaccinations.”

Exactly what “debunked” means was not clarified. Presumably, it means any claims about vaccines that Twitter disagrees with.

The New York Times and others reported Wednesday that healthcare workers in Alaska have been hospitalized with a serious allergic reaction after taking Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.

The development follows reports last week from Britain where some healthcare workers reported serious allergic reactions to the vaccine, prompting Britain’s medical regulator to issue a warning people with a history of allergies not to take the shot.

There is a mountain of documented evidence that some vaccines can cause harm and have adverse effects, and compared to previous vaccines, the coronavirus shot is relatively untested, indeed six people even DIED during the rush to develop it.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators also revealed that some people who got Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine during its trial have since developed Bell’s palsy, a form of facial paralysis.

Both the US and UK governments have rolled out technology specifically to monitor adverse effects of the vaccine, because they know there will be many, many cases.

Yet Twitter appears to be decreeing that any suggestion the shot could cause damage will be met with strict censorship.

Where it cannot prove something has been “debunked” and remove the post entirely, Twitter says it intends to attach “warning” labels to tweets that “advance unsubstantiated rumours, disputed claims, as well as incomplete or out-of-context information about vaccines.” 

Last month, Twitter declared that it will send warnings to everyone who likes a post the company deems to contain “misleading information”.

 

Vaccination Cards Will Track Everyone Who Gets a COVID-19 Vaccine

On Dec. 2, 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) released the first images of the government’s proposed COVID-19 vaccination record card and vaccination kits that include a needle, syringe, alcohol wipes and a mask. The vaccination card, which will be issued to everyone who gets a COVID-19 vaccine, will be used by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to track who gets vaccinated with the first dose of the vaccine.1 2 3 4 5 6

Recipients of the vaccines will be asked to provide their cell phone numbers so pubic health officials can contact vaccinated persons by text and remind them to return to receive a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine three or four weeks later. The two doses of Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 (BNT162b2) need to be given 21 days apart. Moderna’s mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine requires two doses to be given 28 days apart.1 2 4 5 6 7

Each dose of COVID-19 vaccine a person receives will be reported to the CDC.1 2

COVID-19 Vaccination Card Contains Personal Medical Information

“Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due,” said Kelly Moore, MD, MPH, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) of Saint Paul, Minnesota. “Everyone’s going to get that.”1 2 6

Each card, written in English and Spanish, will record the first and last name of the person receiving the vaccine, along with their date of birth, medical information, the dates in which they were vaccinated and the name of who performed the vaccination and where. It will provide spaces to record the name of the vaccine given and the name of its manufacturer. It will also have spaces that could be used to record additional booster shots in the future.3 6

A “Draconian Process” to “Capture Everybody”

“We’ve set up everything [in] a draconian process, where when we sent out the ancillary kits which have needles and syringes, we’ve included paper cards to be filled out and given to the individuals, reminding them of their next vaccine due date,” said U.S. Army Gen. Gustave Perna, chief operating officer of the U.S. government’s Operation Warp Speed (OWS) program tasked with facilitating development of COVID-19 vaccines.3

“We do know that pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreens have established very elaborate tracking systems to set up appointments, notify people when their second shots are required,” Gen. Perna said. “And we’re doing our best to capture everybody to ensure that they get their second dose.3

Dr. Gounder Recommends Waiting on COVID Vaccine if You’ve Had a History of Severe Allergic Reaction

You would think that [the severe allergic reactions to the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine] would have come up in all of the phase trials already with those who were getting the vaccine, because that’s such a noticeable reaction. Well, I think it’s important to understand that when we do these Phase 3 clinical studies, we are actually intentionally excluding a certain population, so people who’ve had severe side effects… pregnant women, children, they were not included in these Phase 3 clinical trials. And, in fact, the way the vaccine is approved for use in the U.K., they are recommending, even prior to these allergic reactions happening, they were recommending against giving them to people who’ve had severe allergic reactions.

On Tuesday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held a hearing on early and outpatient treatment of COVID-19. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) went after the health bureaucracy, mentioning Dr. Fauci by name. He roasted the government experts for crushing dissenting views and holding their own opinions above others.


In Dr. Paul’s opening remarks, he apologized for the behavior of Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who was dismissive and left the hearing. Paul said that science is about debate, evidence, and discussion. Contentious debate, Paul said, is how we get to the truth. He asserted that Peters’ failure to engage in this process and reliance on consensus is how science dies.


“Science is not about ad hominem and attacks,” Paul said. “So, by attacking this panel without listening to it, leaving in a huff and having no questions shows a small-mindedness, a closemindedness and really it should be everything we should avoid.”


Paul made the case that both COVID-19 and the measures we have taken to control the virus can have deadly consequences. He shared that he and his wife were mourning a neighbor who recently passed away with COVID-19. Then he described the case of a woman in her 30s with two young children who died of a fatal arrhythmia early in the pandemic. Her outpatient stress test was canceled to preserve hospital capacity, and she died before she could be correctly diagnosed.


He cautioned that no one has the market cornered on being right about COVID-19. “But it’s a mistake to say one person should have all the power to determine what we should do,” the senator said. “When we place too much confidence in government doctors, such as Dr. Fauci. Dr. Kory (a witness on the panel) mentioned it. He mentioned in June about steroids. I mentioned it in March when Dr. Fauci came into my committee hearing.”


He then went on to explain his medical rationale for thinking that steroids may work. End-stage COVID-19 is similar to many other end-stage illnesses in its clinical presentation. To Dr. Paul, it made sense that treatments that work in other cases where adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and toxic shock occur could help COVID-19 patients.


After describing another case, Paul recalled, “So, I raised my hand to Dr. Fauci and said, ‘Do you think steroids might have a role in this?’ He sort of dismissed me, and said the studies were showing it probably wouldn’t work.”


“But I would think most people would argue now that one of the most significant developments in the acute care of the COVID patient has been steroids actually, and trying to give them the steroids before they’ve gotten into the full ARDS syndrome,” said Paul. “Some are even getting it at a very early stage in the disease. But that came from people asking questions, being skeptical and not letting one doctor, such as Dr. Fauci, say ‘Oh that’s not right, young man, go sit in the corner.'”


This is not the first time Paul has questioned Dr. Fauci’s singular authority over all things COVID-19. At another hearing regarding school reopenings, they sparred over the impacts of COVID-19 on children. They were also confrontational regarding immunity to COVID-19 post-infection. Paul actually said that Fauci was not the “end all” in the response and that there had been enough mistakes in the pandemic response that everyone ought to have a little more humility.


For those of you who are not aware—and why would you be with our incurious corporate media—frontline clinicians and researchers have been doing studies on readily available generic drugs to use in outpatient COVID-19 infections. The goal is to reduce not just deaths but also disease severity and hospitalizations.


Senator Peters deserves to be called out for his response. In his opening statement, he talked about the deadly impacts of COVID-19. He talked about the need for evidence regarding COVID-19 outpatient treatments and said the committee was not pursuing evidence. Rather, they were pursuing politics. It is too ironic from the guy who stormed out and didn’t listen to the researchers’ and clinicians’ evidence. He submitted 50 letters from public health experts noting the importance of science in the pandemic response and then left before scientific evidence was provided.


The medication being discussed in this hearing is ivermectin. It has not been studied as much as HCQ, but the results to date are encouraging. The witnesses have studies covering over 4,000 patients in various settings but cannot obtain a review through the NIH. They asked for the committee’s assistance with this and noted that funding for additional studies is not readily available. Money to study the efficacy of current generic medications in new applications is difficult to obtain. That is a tragic fact, as these medications are less expensive and more readily available.


Outpatient treatment is always preferable to hospitalization and death. If we had these tools, Los Angeles would not be shut down again due to hospital capacity concerns. Draconian instructions for the Christmas holiday would also not be necessary. It is also likely Dr. Anthony Fauci would lose much of his influence over public policy, and the demands for his face in pressers and on magazine covers would decrease.


Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) should be lauded for holding these hearings, and more of our leaders should take them as seriously as Senator Paul does. As Paul correctly pointed out, our government “experts” do not have the final say on these topics. Input from clinicians treating patients and researchers is just as important. One could even assert that their input is more valuable. Clinicians have to face their patients every day and bring their best advice. Researchers are motivated to solve problems. The incentives in the health bureaucracy are significantly less clear.

Says it will be June at the earliest before masks can come off, and ONLY if people take the vaccine


BY STEVE WATSON

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:









Appearing on CNN Thursday, Dr Anthony Fauci declared that face masks are here to stay unless enough Americans get the coronavirus vaccination, and even then it will take at least six months before the masks can be left behind.


Speaking to Chris Cuomo, Fauci was asked if the masks could come off, to which he replied “Well, the answer is not unless you get the overwhelming majority of the country vaccinated and protected and get that umbrella of what we call herd immunity.”











“There’s still a lot of virus out there,” Fauci declared, adding “So just because you’re protected, so-called protected by the vaccine, you should need to remember that you could be prevented from getting clinical disease and still have the virus that is in your nasopharynx because you could get infected.”








“Fauci doesn’t understand medicine, he’s an administrator”, “he has an agenda” said Kary Mullis, Nobel Prize winning inventor of PCR tests. Although he died just before Fauci did it again, much bigger than ever, we MUST listen to what he said as the misuse of his PCR test is now the basis for a bigger world wide lockdown.


“But until you have the virus that is so low in society we as a nation need to continue to wear the mask, to keep the physical distance, to avoid crowds,” Fauci proclaimed.


“We’re not through with this just because we’re starting a vaccine program. Even though you as an individual might have gotten vaccinated, it is not over by any means. We still have a long way to go and we’ve got to get as many people as possible vaccinated. Of all groups,” he further urged.


Cuomo asked when the masks could come off, assuming enough people take the shot, to which Fauci replied that if enough Americans “step up to the plate,” we could see the back of the masks by June.


“If 75 or more percent of the population decides they want to get vaccinated, I would hope by the time we get to the end of the second quarter into the summer that we will have enough people vaccinated that by the time we get to the fall in the third quarter of the year that we will have that veil of protective herd immunity that would really essentially protect all the vulnerable,” Fauci said.


Fauci’s remarks echo those of The UK’s deputy chief medical officer, who said last week that despite the arrival of COVID vaccines, face masks will still have to be worn “for years” to come.


New guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) has also suggested that everyone should be wearing a face mask everywhere indoors at all times, as well as outdoors whenever they cannot keep more than a metre away from others.


The health body issued a new information sheet with the guidelines, but admits that there is “limited evidence” that masks have any effect on stopping the spread of coronavirus.


An in depth study by Danish scientists at Copenhagen University recently found no evidence that masks protect anyone from the virus.



 

























	







	

		

	




			

		

		
		

			
							

		


	

		
	

		
		
Racial Equity Used to Prioritize Coronavirus Vaccinations
		
		
 

	
		
		
					

			
		

						

	

						

		


			

	

	

		

	
Social justice activists care about the most vulnerable, right?


BY JOSEPH KLEIN


SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/12/racial-equity-used-prioritize-coronavirus-joseph-klein/;


republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:



Social justice warriors are infecting decision-making regarding who should receive COVID-19 vaccination priority. Saving the lives of the most vulnerable is less important, they believe, than making up for past racial and socioeconomic inequities.


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened an emergency meeting of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) late last month in which most of the members advised that “equity” considerations should take precedence. For this reason, they believe that after vaccinating front-line health care workers and long term care facility residents, the vast group of so-called non-health service “essential workers” should be vaccinated before adults with high risk medical conditions or those most vulnerable who are over the age of 65. “Racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionally represented in many essential industries and live in communities that are disproportionally affected; offers an opportunity to really impact equity,” the ACIP said in the summary of its minutes.


There are approximately 90 million essential workers nationwide, according to the New York Times, which referenced the definition used by a division of the Department of Homeland Security. The list is very long and, in some states, can reach as high as 75 percent of their overall worker population. In too many cases, the list includes workers whose occupations do not place them face to face with the public as potential super spreaders. Yet the ACIP thinks it is less important to save the people most likely to die from the coronavirus than so-called “essential” workers who are “disproportionally” members of racial and ethnic minority groups.


Senior Trump administration officials, including Dr. Robert Redfield, who currently leads the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, believe that the people most likely to die from the coronavirus should receive priority for vaccinations. That would include adults 65 years old and older. But even if Redfield decides not to accept the ACIP’s recommendation on the order of priority, it won’t make any difference. He is on his way out, to be replaced by Joe Biden's candidate for the job, Dr. Rochelle Walensky. Biden’s choice has somehow managed to bring Black Lives Matter into her discussion of the coronavirus pandemic.


Speaking about the lessons she learned from the pandemic, Walensky declared: “If…anything good comes out of this, and there have been some silver linings, I do think it's the protection of our vulnerable populations, and I mean that sort of based on comorbidities, but really, more importantly, this intersection of Black Lives Matter, attention to the racial injustice, and this pandemic.”


Biden chose California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to serve as his administration’s Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Secretary. The current HHS Secretary, Alex Azar, has spent his career working in senior healthcare leadership roles in both the public and private sectors. Becerra has no relevant healthcare experience. His claim to fame has been his resistance to President Trump, including signing on to more than 100 lawsuits against the Trump administration.


Becerra has a "health equity" model to use in his new position, which was devised in his home state of California. It focuses on the disparities COVID-19 is having on communities of color. “We want to make sure that our focus on COVID has a look at every community, regardless of skin color or wealth, and that we are concerned about equity," Dr. Mark Ghaly, California's health secretary, said in describing the model. We can expect Becerra to be consulting frequently with his California counterpart to ensure racial and socioeconomic equity in prioritizing the order of vaccine recipients.


Biden has also appointed members of his coronavirus advisory board who prioritize equity over age-related vulnerability to the coronavirus in determining priority for vaccination. Dr. Zeke Emanuel is probably the most well-known member of the advisory board. Emanuel, among other things, was a key architect of Obamacare. Aside from writing that he himself does not want to live beyond the age of 75 because of the infirmities of old age, Emanuel co-authored an article last September warning against “prioritization strategies, such as age-based preference, that risk widening racial and socioeconomic disparities.” The article recommended that vaccines be allocated to reduce COVID-19 disparities “commonly produced by racism.”


Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, co-chair of Biden’s advisory board, claimed recently that “We’ve had a collective witnessing as a country here in 2020 around the pervasive, deep-seated challenge of racial injustice and COVID-19 exploited that reality.” According to Nunez-Smith’s twisted way of thinking, “privileged” whites must atone for the coronavirus because it somehow "exploited" racial "injustice."


“We cannot get this pandemic under control if we do not address head-on the issues of inequity in our country,” Nunez-Smith declared. “There is no other way.”


The only sensible way to curb the pandemic’s most deadly effects is to use health-based criteria for vaccine prioritization to save the most lives, not social justice agendas.


Each state will be making the ultimate decisions in distributing the vaccines it receives to its residents. If Oregon is any indication, racial equity will be the determining factor rather than medical need.  Oregon’s COVID vaccination plan to allocate and distribute COVID-19 vaccine states that it “is grounded in a commitment to health equity, which requires an examination of how power and resources are distributed.”


Using the language of the radical left, which seems to rule Oregon these days, the plan declares that “One legacy of racism and longstanding oppression is that people of color, tribal communities and people living with intellectual, developmental and other disabilities, due to historical and current injustices, structural racism, the colonization of relationships and processes experience overall worse health outcomes.” The way to rectify these “historical and current injustices,” according to the Oregon plan, is to impose “equitable distribution or redistribution of resources and power.”


Harald Schmidt, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of UNESCO's Ethics Task Force, minced no words in explaining the inhumane philosophy behind sacrificing the lives of the most vulnerable to achieve the progressive social engineer’s notion of the greater good.  “Older populations are whiter, ” Schmidt said. “Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.”


This is the roadmap for how the progressive left intends to cast the horrible devastation wrought by a deadly pandemic that originated in China as another manifestation of so-called “structural racism” in the United States. The reparation for the alleged “victims” of such “structural racism,” no matter how old or healthy they may be, is to receive prioritization for vaccinations over more vulnerable elderly whites. Joe Biden is assembling a team that is supportive of this perverted radical agenda.

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:



Sahara Walker was only 11 years old in 2013 when she received the Gardasil vaccine that drastically changed her life, according to the attorneys who filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin against the New Jersey based pharmaceutical giant, Merck on Nov. 18, 2020. Prior to Gardasil, Sahara was a healthy young girl who achieved academic success in math, scoring in the top 97th percentile of Wisconsin students and was an active member in mathletes, advancing to the state competition.


After only one shot of Gardasil, together with the meningococcal and Tdap vaccines, Sahara’s health took a drastic turn for the worse. Within days of the shots, she suffered from headaches, vomiting, fatigue, cognitive impairment, excessive sleeping, body aches and fevers and, by the end of the month, she was bedridden and in a wheelchair. There were no more mathlete competitions as Sahara was left with no choice but to be homeschooled for the remainder of 6th grade through 12th grade.


‘My injuries from Gardasil have stolen so much from me’


Within a few years of that fateful day in 2013, Sahara was going to more than 50 doctor appointments a year and took as many as 55 pills a day. She currently receives Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG), which is a blood product made from pooling the serum of 1,000-15,000 plasma donors and takes 14 prescription medications. Sahara has been diagnosed with Neurocardiogenic Syncope (NCS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia (POTS), Orthostatic Hypotension (OH), Small Fiber neuropathy and Autoimmune Autonomic Neuropathy.1


Sahara stated:


My injuries from the Gardasil vaccine have stolen so much from me. Before the vaccine, the possibilities for my future were endless. Now, my life is full of accommodations and medical interventions. It’s not how any 19-year-old should have to live. I want to warn people of the potential for serious adverse reactions and let others who have been hurt know that they are not alone. I’m fighting for all of us.2


Sahara is far from alone in her suffering after receiving the Gardasil vaccine. There have been thousands of reports of young women being left with severe brain and immune system dysfunction, including hundreds of reports of deaths following Gardasil vaccinations.3 4 5 6 As of December 2020, there had been 45,710 reports of Gardasil vaccine reactions made to VAERS, with 7,017 reports of serious adverse events, including 789 that were life threatening, as well as 4,772 hospitalizations and 376 deaths after vaccination with Gardasil 4.7 In the year 2010 alone, there were 26 Gardasil-related deaths reported to VAERS.8


After Gardasil 4 was licensed by the FDA in 2006, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) issued a series of reports in 2007 analyzing Gardasil adverse events being reported to VAERS.9 10 11 NVIC’s analyses revealed that there was a statistically significant increased risk of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) and other serious adverse events when Gardasil was simultaneously given with other vaccines, especially the meningococcal vaccine, Menactra. There was a 1,130 percent increase in GBS, a 674 percent increase in injuries from falls after loss of consciousness, a 234 percent increase in coordination and neuromuscular problems, a 118 percent increase in cardiac problems, a 114 percent increase in respiratory problems and a 30.1 percent increase in convulsions and central nervous system problems when the Gardasil and Menactra vaccines were given at the same doctor’s visit.12


Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the NVIC, said:


Now we know from this report that there are more reactions and deaths associated with Gardasil than with another vaccine given in the same age group. It’s irresponsible not to take action.13


Merck’s action was to phase out the original Gardasil 4 vaccine and market Gardasil 9 in December 2014. Gardasil 9, which is supposed to protect against infection with 9 strains of HPV, has more than twice the amount of bioactive aluminum adjuvant.14 As of December 2020, there have been 14,025 reports to VAERS after vaccination with Gardasil 9, 787 with serious injury, 100 life threating, 550 hospitalizations and 31 deaths.15


Lawsuit Alleges Merck Knew Gardasil Was Defective


The lawsuit filed on behalf of Sahara Walker alleges that Merck was negligent, committed fraud and failed to warn patients posing “a substantial risk of significant harm to children and patients who were injected with the Gardasil HPV vaccine,” and that there were inherent manufacturing defects in the vaccine itself.16 The Complaint further alleges that Merck hid the inherent risks from the FDA and consumers and overstated the vaccine’s benefits, when there were no published studies demonstrating the vaccine prevented any type of cancer and that, “Merck negligently and fraudulently deprived parents and children of their right to informed consent.”


This assertion is supported by statements from one of the leading researchers of Gardasil vaccine, Diane Harper, MD, MPH, who has publicly stated that parents and young women should have more complete warnings prior to receiving the vaccine.17


According to the Complaint, Merck knew or had reason to know Gardasil is defective and ineffective, but instead of warning consumers about the dangers, the company wrongfully concealed information and further made false statements concerning the safety and efficacy of Gardasil.18


Routine Pap Smear Screening Successfully Prevents Cervical Cancer


There are over 200 types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) with 12-18 strains (types) potentially associated with cervical cancer. Gardasil 4 claims to protect against four of those 200 strains with only two of the four strains associated with cervical cancer, while Gardasil 9 is said to protect against 9 strains.19 Current data shows that the vaccine is only effective for five years, however, children as young as 9 are being injected with Gardasil.20 There are questions about giving very young children a vaccine that may only confer five years of protection against cervical cancer, when the average age of cervical cancer diagnosis is 50 years old.21


Merck applied for fast-track status for Gardasil for the prevention of cervical cancer, even though the already available pap smear test is highly effective in preventing cancer when screening occurs on a routine basis as part of well care visits for women. Fast-track status is granted by the FDA to a manufacturer when there is an unmet need for a serious medical condition.22 Some health professionals have pointed out that there was no unmet need as far as detecting and preventing cervical cancer because the pap smear, which has no dangerous side effects, has been considered the most successful cancer screening test since it was developed in the 1920s and made a part of routine health care for women in the 1970s in the U.S.23


Studies Show Elevated Death Rate in Gardasil Clinical Trials


Vaccine manufacturers which receive a fast-track designation from the FDA may submit less data to the government prior to licensing and, in lieu of pre-licensure clinical trial data, can conduct “post-marketing” clinical studies after the vaccine is released for widespread public use.24 The Complaint alleges that Merck failed to disclose key material facts related the safety and efficacy of the vaccine both during the shortened clinical trial period and after the vaccine went on the market, and further alleges that Merck has never disclosed that Gardasil’s ingredients contain experimental viral DNA fragments (HPV LV1-DNA) that have never been approved by the FDA.25


The studies conducted during the fast-tracked pre-licensing period revealed an increase in the death rate of young women by almost double the national average in both the Gardasil group and the control group. The control group did not receive a true placebo but received the same bioactive aluminum adjuvant contained in Gardasil vaccine.


While the average death rate for young women aged 15-26 is 4.37 per 10,000 people, .23 percent of which can be attributed to cervical cancer, the death rate of the Gardasil study participants was 8.5 percent per 10,000. When looking at all of the studies Merck conducted on Gardasil, the death rate climbs to 13.3 percent per 10,000. Analysis of mortality date from Merck’s Gardasil trials suggests that a young woman is 58 times more likely to die following receipt of Gardasil vaccine than from cervical cancer.


Merck dismissed the increase in death rate among Gardasil study participants as “coincidence.”26 In 2019, Merck made $3.7 billion from global sales of Gardasil vaccine.27

The chief scientist for the U.S. government’s Operation Warp Speed (OWS) program aimed at facilitating development of COVID-19 vaccines confirmed on Dec. 1, 2020 that 10-15 percent of the volunteers, who participated in clinical trials to test the safety and effectiveness of experimental vaccines developed by Pfizer, Inc. (in partnership with BioNTech SE) and Moderna, Inc. (in partnership with National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), reported “significantly noticeable” side effects.1


Dr. Moncef Slaoui, who leads OWS, which is a partnership involving private industry and agencies of the federal government,2 said that side effects suffered by clinical trial participants given Pfizer/BioNTech’s messenger RNA (mRNA) BNT162b2 vaccine and Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine have included redness and pain at the injection site, along with fever, chills, muscle aches and headaches.1 3 4


Some Reactions Have Been Serious and Severe


Some of those reactions have been serious, including the case of 44-year-old Luke Hutchison of Utah who suffered a fever (over 100°F), chills, bone and muscle aches, a bad headache and shortness of breath after getting the second dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine during a Phase 3 trial. Hutchison compared his symptoms “full-on COVID-like symptoms.”5


“I started shaking. I had cold and hot rushes. I was sitting by the phone all night long thinking: ‘Should I call 911?’” Hutchison said. “Nobody prepared me for the severity of this.”6


Another Phase 3 trial participant (a woman in her 50s) who received the mRNA-1273 vaccine suffered a migraine that “left her exhausted and struggling to focus.5 She said:


If this proves to work, people are going to have to toughen up. The first dose is no big deal. And then the second dose will definitely put you down for the day for sure. You will need to take a day off after the second dose.5


More than 40,000 and 30,000 volunteers participated in the now-completed Phase 3 trials for Pfizer’s and Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, respectively.3 4


In one of the earlier trials for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, more than half of the 45 participants experienced side effects, including two severe reactions—a Grade 3 fever of over 101.3°F two days after vaccination, and sleep disturbance one day after vaccination.7


Severe reactions were also suffered by several individuals in an early trial for Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine consisting of 45 participants—including the case of 29-year-old Ian Haydon of Seattle, Washington. Within 12 hours of receiving a second dose of mRNA-1273, Haydon came down with a fever of over 103°F. He sought medical care at an urgent care center.8


Vaccine Reactogenicity: The “Elephant” in the Room


“Somebody needs to address the elephant: What about vaccine reactogenicity?” asks Deborah Fuller, PhD, professor of vaccinology at the University of Washington in Seattle. “I feel like it’s being glossed over.”5


An independent analysis of Moderna’s Phase 3 trial determined that 9.7 percent of the participants suffered severe fatigue following vaccination, 8.9 percent suffered severe muscle pain, 5.2 percent suffered severe joint pain and 4.5 percent suffered severe headaches. An analysis of the Pfizer/BioNTech Phrase 3 trial found that 3.8 percent of participants suffered from severe fatigue and 2 percent of participants suffered severe headaches.5


Arnold Monto, MD, professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health notes that these rates of severe reactions are higher than the public is used to. “This is higher reactogenicity than is ordinarily seen with most flu vaccines, even the high-dose ones,” Dr. Monto says. With Pfizer and Moderna planning to supply their COVID-19 vaccines to some 35 million people around the world by the end of this year, hundreds of thousands of people may experience severe reactions to these two vaccines alone.5




ACIP Calls for Transparency on Vaccine Side Effects that “Are not a walk in the park”


At a Nov. 20 meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on medical issues, doctors urged the CDC and vaccine manufacturers to be transparent about the “rough side effects” people may experience after getting the initial dose of COVID-19 vaccines so that they are not scared away from getting the second dose.1


ACIP liaison from the American Medical Association (AMA) Sandra Fryhofer, MD stressed:


We really need to make patients aware that this is not going to be a walk in the park. They are going to know they had a vaccine. They are probably not going to feel wonderful. But they’ve got to come back for that second dose.1


What Will Be the Long-Term Side Effects?


Perhaps the biggest question concerning the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, as well as others, may be, “What will be the long-term side effects of these vaccines?” While Dr. Slaoui observed that the vaccines have produced short- to medium-term reactions, he indicated that there is no way to know what longer-term side effects such as autoimmune diseases may be. “[T]he very long-term safety [of the vaccines] is not yet understood by definition,” Dr. Slaoui said.1


As a recent article in USA Today pointed out, medical experts “still don’t know the long-term effects of the vaccines and won’t know until after the trials are completed and researchers monitor participants in the real world for years after.”9

You knew it was coming, and now it is official. COVID-19 vaccinations could begin distribution in the next three weeks, according to WSAV in Savannah, Georgia. With the glorious two-step vaccine that is likely to make you feel ill for a few days with each dose, you will get a COVID vaccination card:


The Department of Defense on Wednesday released the first images of a COVID-19 vaccination record card and vaccination kits.


“Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due,” Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition, said in a CNN report.


There is a rationale for providing the patient with a record. According to the CDC:


“For most COVID-19 vaccine products, two doses of vaccine, separated by 21 or 28 days, will be needed. Because different COVID-19 vaccine products will not be interchangeable, a vaccine recipient’s second dose must be from the same manufacturer as their first dose.”


Of course, the information on the type and date you received the vaccine could be given on a piece of paper or something less formal than a card. It is not hard to figure out how this record is likely to be used, so if you get the vaccine, laminate it. They were nice enough to make them wallet-sized.


This will allow a whole range of businesses and services to require you to show the card in order to shop, get a haircut, or use other services. Hotels and airlines may decide to require proof of vaccination to travel. This is despite no significant outbreaks on planes or associated with hotels.


This is insane for several reasons. First, the news regarding immunity in recovered patients is very positive. Studies of those who have had COVID-19 demonstrate that while antibodies provide the initial response, a long-term response from T & B memory cells in the immune system is durable and provides protection from reinfection. If COVID-19 is similar to SARS, studies have shown this long-term immune response is still active after 17 years. The good news is that the two viruses have a structure that is 80% similar, and they utilize the same method to enter cells.


Why would someone with active immunity need to receive a vaccine? The short answer is they don’t. The CDC and the testing companies should be working on an accurate test for commercial use to detect this response. If the experts assert that this virus will act wildly different from its close cousins, they will need an extraordinary explanation.


Next, some percentage of the population has the same-long term immune response based on exposure to other coronaviruses. The same commercially available test for recovered patients could be administered before vaccination to see if it is necessary. This is not to encourage anti-vax sentiment, but if natural immunity exists, it seems the decision to take one should be between a patient and his or her doctor.


Finally, there is some rather disappointing rhetoric coming out of Pfizer’s chairman. With all we have understood about how vaccines function for decades, the statement also stretches credibility. Albert Bourla told Dateline NBC  that the pharmaceutical company was “not certain” if the vaccine prevented the coronavirus from being transmitted, adding, “This is something that needs to be examined.”


This makes one wonder what 90% effective means. It appears it means it is effective in causing a vaccinated person to develop antibodies against COVID-19. It is hard to understand why this would not be sufficient to stop transmission if it effectively stops illness. According to the CDC, people who don’t become ill with COVID-19 are not primary drivers of infection, and a recent study in China found 300 asymptomatic cases with no transmission to their nearly 2,000 close contacts.


It also seems like this is something that could have been tested during the trials. The COVID-19 vaccine does use new technology, but how the immune system works once it is triggered is not. If the virus can be transmitted from a vaccinated person, these companies have developed a therapeutic, not a vaccine by any traditional definition. Vaccines provide immunity, and vaccinated persons act as a brake on transmission. If this is not the case, it would require another extraordinary explanation.


It will be tough to sell a vaccine that changes absolutely nothing about the public policies governing the way many Americans live. Masks, distancing, and shutdowns will still be possible. Figuring out the answer to the possible transmission after vaccination is now job #1 for Pfizer.

After Barack Obama promised to take a COVID jab on live TV to help convince Americans it is safe, former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have also reportedly said they will do the same.


Speaking to CNN Bush’s chief of staff Freddy Ford announced that “A few weeks ago President Bush asked me to let Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx know that, when the time is right, he wants to do what he can to help encourage his fellow citizens to get vaccinated.”


“First, the vaccines need to be deemed safe and administered to the priority populations. Then, President Bush will get in line for his, and will gladly do so on camera,” Ford added.


The report also states that Bill Clinton’s press secretary Angel Urena confirmed he is also willing to take the vaccination on camera.


“President Clinton will definitely take a vaccine as soon as available to him, based on the priorities determined by public health officials. And he will do it in a public setting if it will help urge all Americans to do the same,” said Urena.


Obama declared this week that he trusts Anthony Fauci completely, adding “I may end up taking [the vaccine] on TV or having it filmed just so that people know that I trust this science.”


CNN has also been pushing the idea of vaccination ID cards, allowing those who have taken the shot to go about their lives without harassment.









 

























	







	

		

	




			

		

		
		

			
							

		


	

		
	

		
		
IMPORTANT UPDATE ON DC PREDATORY MINOR CONSENT TO VACCINATION BILL B23-0171
		
		
 

	
		
		
					

			
		

						

	

						

		


			

	

	

		

	
 








Call for Unified Nationwide Action Asking DC Mayor to Veto B23-0171


Dear NVIC Advocacy Team Members,


PLEASE continue to contact the Mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, to tell her to VETO B23-0171. WE HAVE MORE TIME!  Spread this far and wide!


The DC City Council passed the dangerous and predatory bill B23-0171 by a final vote of 10:3 on Tuesday 11/17/2020. This law will not only permit children 11 years old and older to consent to vaccines on their own without parental knowledge or consent, the bill requires insurance companies, vaccine providers and schools to conceal the fact that the child has been vaccinated from the parent! It also sets up these young children to be targets of bullying and coercion to be vaccinated behind their parents’ backs!  We strongly oppose this bill.


The Mayor of DC has up to 10 days to respond.  There are three possible actions the Mayor can take: 1) Veto (our preferred action), which would stop the bill from becoming law as long as 2/3 of the council doesn’t vote to override the veto, (2) Sign, which would move the bill forward to Congress for review, or 3) No signature, which has the same effect as her signing it. 


Normally the bill would be sent to the Mayor after the bill is passed, and therefore the clock for 10 calendar days for the Mayor to respond would already be expired.


NVIC’s Director of Advocacy spoke directly with the legislative director of the DC Council this morning, and he told her that the DC Council has not sent the Mayor the bill yet for response, so the 10 day period has not even started. This is good news as we have more time to have more people contact the Mayor requesting a veto.


This delay is not typical, and no definitive reason was given for it although stressors from the current COVID-19 situation was cited as likely contributing. He also explained that once the DC Council sends the Mayor the bill, the legislative website will be automatically updated to reflect that. There will be an entry in the legislative history column indicating the bill is under review by the Mayor and the date it was sent will be included. The 10-calendar day countdown (excluding weekends and holidays) will start from there.  You can monitor this at https://lims.dccouncil.us/Legislation/B23-0171.


You may be wondering why you are receiving this update even if you don’t live in DC. Over the past 2 years, http://NVICAdvocacy.org has tracked and issued opposing positions on 33 various minor consent to vaccination bills filed across many states, and this is the only one that has passed.  Your opposition to the other bills filed in other states helped stop the rest. This bill is different and far worse from the others in that this is the only bill that compels authority figures in the child’s life to deliberately conceal the fact the child was vaccinated from the child’s parent! Also, this bill covers ALL ACIP recommended vaccines. DC is our nation’s capital, and if this is allowed to be implemented there, we can expect bills like this to threaten our children and families in all 50 states.  All of us in every state and DC need to work together to stop this.


We ALL need to all seize this opportunity of extra time to continue to let the Mayor know that America is watching and undermining the parent-child relationship and removing parental rights is not an acceptable action by government!


ACTION:


Contact DC Mayor Muriel Bowser IMMEDIATELY to VETO B23-0171 Vaccinating Children Behind Parents’ Backs

Zuckerberg Says Facebook Ready to Work With Biden to “Push” COVID-19 Vaccine


BY LUIS MIGUEL


SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/zuckerberg-says-facebook-ready-to-work-with-biden-to-push-covid-19-vaccine/;


republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:



Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg publicly said the platform is trying to work with Joe Biden on a joint Facebook-Biden administration push for Americans to get the COVID-19 vaccine.


During a livestream interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Facebook founder mentioned a “push around authoritative information on vaccines,” though he did not elaborate on what that would entail.


“You and the rest of the government have an important job ahead,” Zuckerberg told Fauci during the interview.


“I know our team at Facebook has already reached out to the incoming administration to help with the COVID response in any way that we can,” continued Zuckerberg. “I’m sure there will be a few important things that we can do together.”


“We’re already planning a push around authoritative information on vaccines,” he added before the discussion turned to other topics.


As the Financial Times has recently reported, Facebook plans a strong push to encourage its users to get the COVID-19 vaccine and to share content related to the Paris Climate Agreement.


Back in October, Facebook announced that it would ban ads on its platform that discourage vaccinations and run an information campaign encouraging users to get flu shots.


The news of Facebook’s prospective partnership with the Biden team comes as Britain on Wednesday became the first country to approve a COVID-19 vaccine for general use, announcing a rollout of Pfizer-BioNTech’s product next week.


Health secretary Matt Hancock said that, beginning with care home residents and health and care staff, Britain’s state-run National Health Service will start with 800,000 doses “early next week.” That will be increased to “millions” of inoculations by the end of the year.


“Help is on its way,” he told BBC radio.


In the U.K., an army “information warfare” united has been tasked with combating supposed “anti-vaccine disinformation”


Breitbart News notes:


The Defence Cultural Specialist Unit (DCSU) of the army’s 77th Brigade was founded in 2010 as a part of the UK’s efforts to combat radical Islamic propaganda during the war in Afghanistan. The unit specialises in “building an understanding of the physical, virtual and cognitive behaviours of audiences, actors and adversaries.”


Leaked documents that were reported on by The Times reveal that the secretive unit, which previously targetted al-Qaeda and the Taliban, has been tasking soldiers with monitoring the internet for coronavirus ‘propaganda’ as well as the effects it is supposedly having on the minds of the British public.…


A spokesman from the Cabinet Office said: “As we edge closer to a vaccine we continue to work closely with social media companies and other organisations to anticipate and mitigate any emerging anti-vax narratives and promote authoritative sources of information.”


The political establishment has consistently tried to convince the public that mass vaccination is needed for life to return to normal for the billions of people on earth who are tired of having their businesses shut down and of being isolated in their homes.


“If we get a vaccination campaign, and by the second or third quarter of 2021 we have vaccinated a substantial proportion of the people, I think it will be easily by the end of 2021 — and perhaps even into the next year — before we start having some semblances of normality,” said Fauci in an interview with Australia’s University of Melbourne.


Fauci also said there would be a “core of people” who would never take a vaccine and that it would be “problematic” if up to 50 percent of the American population refused to receive it.


As The New American has highlighted before, one of the biggest advocates of vaccines amid the coronavirus “pandemic” has been Microsoft founder Bill Gates, a proponent of population control.


Speaking at a TED conference in 2010 on the subject of cutting carbon emissions to prevent global warming, Bill Gates pointed to population control as one area where an impact could be made. Among other things, he singled out vaccination as having a role in population control.


“First we’ve got population,” Gates began. “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”


Gates has floated the idea of COVID-19 IDs (which the U.K. is already adopting in the form of COVID-19 passports) and is funding both an under-the-skin vaccine history device that can be read with infrared-equipped smartphones and a remote-controlled contraceptive microchip to go under women’s skin.

Medical Freedom Activists Plan International COVID-19 Vaccine Protests


BY STEVEN NEILL


SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/medical-freedom-activists-plan-international-covid-19-vaccine-protests/;


republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:



On July 23, 2020, environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. debated Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz about the coronavirus vaccine, vaccines in general, and making the vaccine mandatory. Kennedy said during the debate:


It’s not hypothetical that vaccines cause injury and that injuries are not rare. The vaccine courts have paid out four billion dollars over the past three decades. And the threshold for getting back into a vaccine court and getting a judgment — [the Department of Health and Human Services] admits that fewer than one percent of people who are injured ever even get to court.


When talking about the companies producing the vaccines, Kennedy said that each of the four vaccine producers:


Is a convicted serial felon: Glaxo, Sanofi, Pfizer, Merck. In the past ten years, just in the last decade, those companies have paid 35 billion dollars in criminal penalties, damages, fines, for lying to doctors, for defrauding science, for falsifying science, for killing hundreds of thousands of Americans knowingly.


It requires a cognitive dissonance for people who understand the criminal corporate cultures of these four companies to believe that they’re doing this in every other product that they have, but they’re not doing it with vaccines.


Compared to vaccines’ health risks, the already-questionable health benefits are even more uncertain with the rushed coronavirus vaccine. Because of that, the U.S. government created the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act. This act protects:


individuals and entities (Covered Persons) against any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the manufacture, distribution, administration, or use of medical countermeasures (Covered Countermeasures), except for claims involving “willful misconduct” as defined in the PREP Act.


This leaves the injured party with only one recourse, applying to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). This program, according to NBC, has only paid out about three dozen claims in the last decade. Wayne Rohde, author of the book The Vaccine Court, explains how the CICP works:


In short, if you are injured or have someone killed by one of the new experimental COVID vaccines, expect to pay all of your expenses out-of-pocket because your life is not worth much to the US Government. They are asking the public to sacrifice themselves for “the greater good” to stop a virus that there is not even an accurate test that can identify it. 


To inform as many Americans as possible of the coronavirus vaccine’s potential problems, several medical freedom activists have teamed up with the grassroots organization V is for Vaccine to lead demonstrations in locations across Canada, Australia, the U.K., and all 50 United States. They chose to do the rallies on November 29 because it is the second-busiest travel day across the country.


Founded in 2019 by Joshua Coleman and Olivia Mikos, V is for Vaccine’s goal is


To bypass the mainstream and social media censorship and educate the public on important truths about the vaccine program, truths that everyone has the right to know before making the decision to vaccinate.


The V is for Vaccine formula consists of giant signs, irrefutable facts, simple and uniform messaging, eager activists, and a good dose of flair. From their first demonstration at Disneyland with only 14 people, the campaign has expanded to all 50 states and three countries.


In these strictly peaceful rallies (unlike BLM, they don’t take detours to Walmart, Target, or other stores), marchers are encouraged to have a dialog with police and others to inform the public about these vaccines’ dangers.


The New American contacted V is for Vaccine with a few questions about the event, and co-founder Olivia Mikos responded:


TNA: How many cities are hosting demonstrations?


Olivia: All 50 states, the U.K., Canada, and Australia are involved. Some states are only doing one city, while others are demonstrating in multiple. 


TNA: Are there local chapters or networks of activists?


Olivia: V is for Vaccine does not have local chapters. But our template is designed so that any activist, group, or organization can utilize our format and messaging and organize demonstrations on their own. We also organize events in collaboration with other independent health freedom groups from all over. For downloads and tutorials, people can go to visforvaccine.com.


TNA: Is this event simply to alert people about the dangers of vaccines, or will there be elements of protesting the lock-downs as well?


Olivia: This is event is primarily focused on vaccine risks.


TNA: What are your goals for the march?


Olivia: This event raises awareness regarding little known risks and facts of vaccination and empowers people to make an informed decision. 


TNA: Are you actively seeking to work with other groups, or is this a solo effort?


Olivia: We work with any and all medical freedom groups but provide a uniform template and messaging for everyone to utilize. The goal is to break through the social conditioning with easy to understand and irrefutable facts. Our strategy relies on keeping the messaging simple, bold, uniform, and factual. Anyone wanting to utilize this template can get involved.

Lockdowns are medically, socially and economically devastating

ANALYSIS/OPINION:


The United States just passed 10 million confirmed coronavirus cases. Dr. Anthony Fauci is predicting a dark winter. Presumptive President-elect Joe Biden says he has a plan but continues to focus on an unenforceable mask mandate and the potential for more lockdowns.


In Europe, where an aggressive lockdown strategy was once heralded by public health officials and media pundits, the COVID-19 winter has already arrived. Across the continent, countries have responded to the pandemic by imposing new nationwide or partial lockdowns. Ordinary Europeans, who are familiar with the strategy’s staggering costs, are staging protests. They know a second round of lockdowns would be medically, socially and economically devastating.


Prime Minister Boris Johnson shut down his country for at least four weeks to prevent what he calls a “medical and moral disaster” for Britain’s government-run health care system.


In Italy, the government in Rome forced a nationwide curfew along with travel restrictions in certain regions.


German citizens are told to accept “wave breaker” lockdowns for the rest of November and rule out “lavish New Year’s Eve parties,” says Chancellor Angela Merkel.


Public health officials around the world are using infection models to justify draconian measures. The experience and counsel of front-line doctors and physicians who are treating patients during the pandemic barely register with these “experts.”


Lockdowns aren’t treatment. They’re not science. They’re reckless. The U.S. must resist taking cues from governments across the Atlantic on how to handle a second wave.


General lockdowns are both unnecessary and demonstrably ineffective. Research and experience tell us that COVID-19 spreads most efficiently indoors. In a study of more than 7,300 cases, international researchers found that just two infections could be linked to outdoor settings. Effective social distancing is relaxed or unobserved inside and the often drier, uncirculated air of indoor environments encourages viral transmission. In short, keeping people locked up in their homes exposes them to a greater level of risk over time.


The stated purpose of both the European and American lockdowns earlier this year was to prevent overwhelming local hospitals with critically ill patients. However, as the shutdown dragged on in places like New York and California, public health officials saw increases in heart disease and cancer rates, as well as functional decline directly attributable to fearful Americans putting off visits to their doctor or hospital.


Addiction and mental health crises have grown rapidly during the pandemic. Rates of suicide, depression and substance abuse are up. Children are expressing higher levels of loneliness, anxiety and neuroses. Following the European shutdown model again would only lead to more non-COVID excess deaths.


Furthermore, advances in treatment since the start of the pandemic have led, on average, to lower mortality rates and shorter hospitalizations, or at-home treatment for those who exhibit symptoms. One of these safe and effective treatments is FDA-approved hydroxychloroquine, a medication which concerned physicians have lobbied the federal government to make available over the counter in the U.S., just as it is in many countries around the world. There is no reason why the citizens of Poland, Iran, Indonesia, Turkey, Venezuela, the Philippines and others should have greater access to this inexpensive treatment than Americans. 


Then there is the economic damage. The International Monetary Fund estimates the global cost of the pandemic at about $28 trillion. In the U.S., the number of long-term unemployed is rising, even as the economy gradually rebounds from its COVID-induced recession. There are about 7 million more people out of work now than prior to the pandemic, and the longer the laid off go without a job the harder it becomes for them to find one. The retail, hospitality and travel industries, along with thousands of businesses, have all been impacted, perhaps permanently, with economists predicting that the U.S. job market won’t recover until at least 2022.


Some limited initial lockdowns may have been a logical stopgap measure in the spring, when we were still learning about this highly infectious virus — not anymore.


America should lead with what it has learned. Whether it’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden, we should not follow the European lockdown model. The White House should take advice from those who have actually treated COVID-19 patients in clinical settings instead of trusting more failed models and made-for-media science. By choosing to follow the evidence and learning from experienced physicians, the U.S. can beat the pandemic, protect vulnerable groups and avoid subjecting Americans to Europe’s long, dark winter.

Dear NVIC Advocacy Team Members,


We need your quick one minute action to reach out to the Mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, to tell her to VETO B23-0171.


The DC City Council passed the dangerous and predatory bill B23-0171 by a vote of 10:3 on Tuesday 11/17/2020. This law will not only permit children 11 years old and older to consent to vaccines on their own without parental knowledge or consent, the bill requires insurance companies, vaccine providers and schools to conceal the fact that the child has been vaccinated from the parent! It also sets up these young children to be targets of bullying and coercion to be vaccinated behind their parents' backs!


There are multiple federal and local laws that will be broken by this new DC law (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, Religious Exemption to Vaccination). The law is also in conflict with Supreme Court precedent affirming parental rights, and it puts children’s health and safety at risk not only for serious reactions and even possible death, but it exposes children to be victims of under-documented overvaccination.


Mayor Bowser has up to 10 days to respond.  We need her to VETO this new law.  Please help her get the message loud and clear that America is watching and this is not an acceptable action by government!


Contact DC Mayor Muriel Bowser IMMEDIATELY to VETO B23-0171 Vaccinating Children Behind Parents’ Backs

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:



Maimonides, the great 12th century codifier of Jewish law, said: “The good doctors will go to hell first,” because skilled physicians will be tempted to play God.


Enter Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a member of Biden’s recently-announced Coronavirus Advisory Committee. The architect of Obamacare, and brother of former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, is one scary dude. Kindly, Old Doc Emanuel is an advocate of health care rationing for the elderly.


In a 2014 article for The Atlantic, “Why I hope to Die at 75,” Emanuel wrote: “Living long is also a loss. It renders many of us if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived. It robs us of our creativity and ability to contribute to society …. We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic.”


When he became prime minister in 1940, Winston Churchill was 66. He was 71 at the end of World War II and 77 when he became prime minister for a second time in 1951. Feeble, ineffectual and even pathetic aren’t words generally associated with Britain’s greatest wartime leader. Ronald Reagan was 70 when he took the helm in 1981.


The problem here isn’t that Emanuel doesn’t want to live past 75, but that he doesn’t want the rest of us to live beyond that age either. In 2009, medical ethicist Wesley J. Smith wrote that Emanuel “explicitly advocates rationing based on what appears to be a quality of life measurement.”


By our “ability to contribute to society,” Emanuel doesn’t mean performing neurosurgery, composing symphonies or designing skyscrapers, but paying taxes. Thus the quality of life will turn on the individual’s ability to support the state.


Even though he “contributed” for 40 or 50 years, in retirement, the senior is drawing benefits – including Social Security and Medicare. Unless they have investment income, chances are they’re not paying federal taxes. From the progressive perspective, what good are they?


The septuagenarian Dr. Emanuel wants to slip into that good night may have served his country in time of war, raised a family or built a business. He deserves better than to be told he’s lived too long.


For those like our esteemed doctor, everything is considered from a cost/benefit perspective. The longer we live, the more it costs to keep us alive. In the last years of life, medical expenses often soar. Besides, where are we going to get health care for illegal aliens if seniors soak up resources which should be earmarked for one of the Democrats’ favorite constituencies?


Things get really dicey at the intersection of health care and declining fertility, AKA Demographic Winter.


In the West, we live in rapidly aging societies where the elderly population grows, while the number of workers paying the taxes that fund social programs declines.


Between 1950 and 2017, the U.S. fertility rate (the number of children the average woman will have in her lifetime), fell from 3.5 to less than 2 – with 2.1 needed to replace current population.


In 2009, those 65 and older were 12.5% of total population. By 2019, they were 15%, projected to rise to 20% by 2030. In 1950, the ratio of workers to those of retirement age was 8 to 1. Today, it’s 5 to 1. By 2030, it will be 3 to 1.


Demographic Winter is another gift of the cultural left, which encourages late marriage or singleness and discourages procreation.


How to solve the birth-dearth? For conservatives it’s obvious: have more children. For progressives, it’s equally obvious: get rid of the elderly. After all, Emanuel has told us that beyond 75, their lives really aren’t worth living anyway.


It won’t be anything as obvious as euthanasia or doctor-assisted suicide (Emanuel says he’s opposed to both), but simply withholding services other than palliative care. In Canada and the United Kingdom (countries with more advanced cases of state-run medicine), seniors are routinely denied certain tests and procedures – or they’re delayed in the hope that the patient will die first.


Biden might want to start looking over his shoulder. At age 77, and with what appears to be pronounced cognitive decline, he’s a prime candidate for Emanuel’s medical triage. Really, Joe, do you want to continue this “feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic” existence?
