Adverse Side Effects from COVID Vaccines

Full disclosure: I have been doubly vaccinated with the Modern Vaccine.  I have trusted ubiquitous assertions by government and health care providers, that the vaccines are safe.  I knew that the vaccines were extraordinary quick to market.  I wondered about their safety, but I considered the COVID virus itself to be a much greater risk. I am extremely concerned about the existence of COVID and the devastation it has caused, medical and economic. I am extremely concerned about the potential emergence of variants and COVID.

Also, I have long been suspicious about the effects of tribal affinities on the free flow of information (on many topics). On topics related to the pandemic, there have been major reversals by medical authorities in the past 1 1/2 years that concern me. Some of these relate to the alleged efficacy (and non-efficacy) of mask-wearing, where government mandates were issued in the absence of controlled studies. I am also aware that we have seen very little in the way of data regarding adverse side effects regarding the general population, as well as populations of adolescents and immune-compromised and pregnant individuals. It is also apparent that the misinformation relating to the wearing of masks could be motivated by an inclination to downplay vaccine-related  deaths (in order to encourage people to get the vaccines on a nationwide basis).

It is in this context that I am sharing the following materials. I have no medical expertise.  I find the following information intriguing. I hope that this information (which has possibly been suppressed) is further developed in the public sphere.  Here is the basis for my concerns, a discussion hosted by Brett Weinstein, who has a long history of fearlessly discussing topics that run counter “preferred” public narratives.

The guests suggest that we need an honest conversation regarding use of the the COVID vaccines regarding certain populations where there is natural immunity (children, young teenagers and those who have already had COVID) and where there is alarming data (pregnant women). They also advocate that we badly need honest national dialogue regarding the promising data based on the prophylactic use of repurposed Ivermectin.

Here are two key points made during this deeply engaging discussion:

  1. An ongoing course of Ivermectin, long-shown to be a safe drug, is fantastically effective in protecting people from COVID. Brett notes that he and his wife Heather were not vaccinated, but have chosen to use Ivermectin prophylactically. Brett and the guests argue that where a safe alternative to the vaccines is available, this information should be available. The guests are convinced, based on discussed evidence, that Ivermectin is a potentially a “miracle drug” that should be widely repurposed and made available to the public. They are gravely concerned that discussions regarding Ivermectin have been suppressed on the Internet, for social and financial motives they discuss.

Today, I spotted these graphs regarding Ivermectin usage in India.  I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information in this June 1, 2021 article by Justus R. Hope, a doctor, but it is eye-popping and compels me to know more:

Another excerpt from this article:

A 97% decline in Delhi cases with Ivermectin is decisive – period. It represents the last word in an epic struggle to save lives and preserve human rights. This graph symbolizes the victory of reason over corruption, good over evil, and right over wrong. It is as significant as David’s victory over Goliath. It is an absolute vindication of Ivermectin and early outpatient treatment. It is a clear refutation of the WHO, FDA, NIH, and CDC’s policies of “wait at home until you turn blue” before you get treatment.

  1. On the vaccine side, the guests express concern that there are significant adverse side-effects to the COVID vaccines that are not being discussed widely. In fact, the information is being suppressed, the group strongly suggests, because it doesn’t fit the ongoing narrative that the COVID vaccines are “safe.” Further, the data regarding adverse side effects is not systematically being collected, much less discussed.  The conversation suggests that the VAERS database (voluntary reports) significantly under-reports incidents. Data suggest that the rate of deaths so far from the COVID vaccines in the U.S. might be in the range of 5,000-20,000, the lower end which is greater than the number of deaths from all other vaccines in the U.S. over the past 70 years. For further information on this point, consider Steve Kirsch’s recent article at TrialSiteNews, where you will see many details on which he based his concerns in the above video: “Should You Get Vaccinated.”  The guests also argue that silicon valley is actively suppressing youtube videos and other information. Adverse vaccine-related bloodwork seems to resemble the bloodwork of those who have COVID.  The biggest alarm here, the guests agree, is the lack of an alarm.

Here are a few excerpts:

However, based on what I now know about the vaccine side effects, current COVID rates, and the success rate of early treatment protocols, the answer I would give today to anyone asking me for advice as to whether to take any of the current vaccines would be, “Just say NO.”

The current vaccines are particularly contraindicated if you have already been infected with COVID or are under age 20. For these people, I would say “NO! NO! NO!”

In this article, I will explain what I have learned since I was vaccinated that totally changed my mind. You will learn how these vaccines work and the shortcuts that led to the mistakes that were made. You will understand why there are so many side effects and why these are so varied and why they usually happen within 30 days of vaccination. You will understand why kids are having heart issues (for which there is no treatment), and temporarily losing their sight, and ability to talk. You will understand why as many as 3% may be severely disabled by the vaccine.

What I find deeply disturbing is the lack of transparency on how dangerous the current COVID vaccines are. Healthy people could end up dead or permanently disabled at a rate that is “off the charts” compared with any other vaccine in our history. Look at the death report in our government’s official Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) summarized in the tweet below. This is the most deadly vaccine we’ve ever made by a long shot. That’s why they have to give you incentives to get vaccinated. They need to vaccinate everyone BEFORE people read this article or watch this video of Dr. Peter McCullough explaining clearly why the current COVID vaccines are unsafe and completely unnecessary for our children.

Kirsch expresses special concerns with the risks of the COVID vaccines for pregnant women:

82% miscarriage rate in first 20 weeks (10% is the normal rate). It is baffling that the CDC says the vaccine is safe for pregnant women when it is so clear that this is not the case. For example, one our family friends is a victim of this. She miscarried at 25 weeks and is having an abortion on 6/9/21. She had her first shot 7 weeks ago, and her second shot 4 weeks ago. The baby had severe bleeding of the brain and other disfigurements. Her gynecologist had never seen anything like that before in her life. They called in a specialist who said it was probably a genetic defect (because everyone buys into the narrative that the vaccine is safe it is always ruled out as a possible cause). No VAERS report. No CDC report. Yet the doctors I’ve talked to say that it is over 99% certain it was the vaccine. The family doesn’t want an autopsy for fear that their daughter will find out it was the vaccine. This is a perfect example of how these horrible side effects just never get reported anywhere.

I invite you to listen to the detailed conversation in the video above. I’m writing this as I watch the live discussion. I will update with more after I finish viewing the entire video . . .

 

[Update]

Here are my notes from the ending of the discussion:

Brett:

There are many anomalous signatures here, but no meaningful discussion of these issues.

Brett couldn’t have made emergency arguments for when there were safe therapies available off the shelf. He could not recommend for those who already had COVID or for women, especially pregnant women and children (part of the discussion concerned the apparent deleterious effect of the vaccines on ovaries-but not testes).

We also have extended regulatory capture (those in positions of authority who should speak up, but aren’t).  This takes place in a system that allow some to evaporate trillions of dollars of wealth in pursuit of millions of dollars.

There is a bitter pill.  We can’t solve the problem perfectly.  We need to convince someone with economic clout and intelligence, someone like Elon Musk, to buy out the drug companies and other obstructionists, who have their own agenda that apparently conflicts with the economic and physical health of ordinary Americans.  This is an activist shareholder argument.

The participants to the above conversation:

Dr. Robert Malone is the inventor of mRNA Vaccine technology.

Mr. Steve Kirsch is a serial entrepreneur who has been researching adverse reactions to COVID vaccines.

Dr. Bret Weinstein is an evolutionary biologist.

[June 12 2021 two updates]

I love this exchange between Steve Kirsch and hundreds of Youtube Subscribers who told him that they appreciated his passion and his message but warned him that his manners were rude and that he was getting in the way of his own message.

Kirsch

Second, Brett might have sounded paranoid (to those who don’t know the abuse that he has suffered at the hands of social media corporations), but here it comes, just as Brett predicted:

Brett Youtube

Let me see if I’m getting this right. This video involves a career evolutionary biologist who has already made stunning findings regarding telomeres, an extremely successful entrepreneur with deep insight in the pharmaceutical industry (who has invested in vaccine research) and the doctor who invented mRNA Vaccine technology. These three men were discussing A) the safety of the mRNA COVID vaccines, including for children and pregnant women B) alternative promising therapies and C) suppression of open discussion on these issues. And now, in a miserable reaction drenched in irony, Youtube announces that this intense discussion violates Youtube policy “We’ve heard back and our team confirmed that your video violates our medical misinformation policies regarding COVID-19 for promoting Ivermectin as an effective treatment.” What the fuck? This is our miserable national state of communication in a nutshell. Part one: Define the narrative (In this case, “The vaccines are completely safe”. Part two: Anyone questioning the narrative, even highly credentialed experts, should be shut down.

    Erich, you are asking good questions, and there are good answers. There are no perfect answers, and there never will be. Bottom line: most adverse reactions appear to have occurred in people who would never be vaccinated at the time for any other diseases, Politics, not science, caused governments and individuals to view COVID19 as different from everything else; the Andromeda Strain, if you will.

    It is generally agreed among practicing physicians that vaccinating a pregnant woman is a bad idea without a compelling reason, such as a pandemic that is resulting in widespread death in the patient’s demographic. Anyone young enough to get pregnant is in an age cohort that is at little risk. There are exceptions, but the only persons who should prescribe a vaccination for a pregnant woman are her primary care provider, or her obstetrician. Not a pharmacist, and certainly not a bureaucrat.

    The practicing physician has been dismissed by the bureaucratic elites as a purveyor of anecdotal information of little worth.What is not said is that the approach to medicine by the practicing physician and the bureaucrat are very different. A practicing physician will use what works, whether there are a hundred thousand double-blind randomized tests or just e-mails from other physicians reporting success with little downside. Medical scientists who spend their time constructing vaccines, and reading and writing peer-reviewed articles.

    Every medical professional with a brain knows vaccines don’t work in people with compromised immune systems. It is a bad idea for anyone taking chemotherapy or immunosuppresive drugs. Vaccines don’t prevent illness; they tell the immune system how to build defenses against illness. No immune system, no vaccine..

    Having had the disease confers immunity. There is no reason to vaccinate, at least no medical reason. “Natural immunity” is called cross-immunity in medicine. It means that the individual has been exposed in the past to one or more very similar viruses. COVID19 is a corona virus, a family of viruses causing the common cold. You are immune to the specific virus you had, and you have some degree of immunity against similar viruses. The immune system creates antibodies that interfere in the virus’s ability to enter a cell, or its ability to replicate once in the cell, or some other single point of failure in its life cycle. If a novel coronavirus shares any of those points with coronaviruses to which you have previously been exposed, you have cross-over immunity. The best estimate I can find is 40% of the population.

    VAERS is what we have. I would contract it out to an aircraft manufacturer to run, because they already run similar systems for all aircraft they produce.The issues with one-off reports such as the baby with a bleed in the brain is that they are one-offs. Medicine is the most primitive of all scientific disciplines. We don’t understand very much. What we did know, we ignored with COVID19. It was clear by March 1 that this primarily endangered the elderly, and almost everybody else was safe. The lies were necessary to maintain a state of fear.

    It’s difficult to find, but Barack Obama expressed admiration for the efficiency in governing. That opened the door for China to begin a long game of influence building. China is immeasurably rich, it has bribed its way to its position, and the lying began in China.

    COVID19 isn’t transmissible between people? Risible. Almost all the rest of the corona viruses, at least those with which I’m familiar, are. You don’t need a mask? Maybe; the size of the virus mandates a secure seal with the face and a high-tech filter. Fauci was compromised and knew it. China had the goods on him for funding gain-of-function research and for covering up the early evidence. Funding the research was legal, just of questionable judgment, and at the pinnacle of his career I believe he had come to value his reputation before science. He didn’t treat patients, as near as I can tell, for the past 40 years. His petty concern about his reputation drove him into deeper and deeper lies, and he took the scientific bureaucracy with him. Shameful.

    Side effects are rare, despite reports of deaths. Tests for crossover immunity are available, and are not 100% accurate. I don’t know what they cost, but testing asymptomatic people for crossover immunity will prevent probably 40% of all adverse reactions because you won’t vaccinate someone who doesn’t need it. The interaction between crossover immunity and the J&J vaccine should be minimal, as the J&J vaccine uses older technology that has had to interact with it for decades.

    My bottom line: Ask your physician to run a crossover-immunity test if you have concerns. If you’re under fifty, don’t worry about it whether you’ve had COVID19 (leaves you immune in most cases) or if you have cross-over immunity. If you’re 70 or over, get the damned vaccine unless you’re immunosuppressed or your doctor says not to. Under 50, it’s medically important if you have a history of heart,lung or kidney disease. Otherwise, it’s Miller Time.

      Thanks for those thoughts, Bill. I listened to most of the conversation (not the end yet), but one of their main concerns was the lack of informed consent. It is pretty amazing that the official line is “Step right up. It’s safe!” I wonder what we’ll see in five years, looking back?

    I knew it was a gamble getting the vaccine. Being almost 70 made the decision a little easier. Unfortunately for the younger generation this is war. As with any war there will be casualties. During times of war everything becomes an emergency situation. There was never any doubt the vaccines were being pushed thru long term testing. With the escalating number of deaths we were forced to the extremities typical in a war situation. Being forced into an instant vaccine to stop the war seemed our only choice. Naturally withholding a time proven vaccine is criminal from every angle. What’s done is done, the big drug companies have made their profits but we have all the time we need to file criminal charges. The question is, can they get away with it claiming we were in a state of emergency. I think not, not if a time proven vaccine was already available. I doubt the big drug companies are that stupid. On the other hand only time will tell as we shall see.

      You can’t Ask the rights questions if your assumptions are wrong. There is NO state of emergency regarding “covid” or any other virus. There never was. Death figures are roughly the same as in 2019. Flu virtually disappeared re-labeled with “covid”. No one has proved (isolated) this “virus” so it’s as real as aliens having a party on Marslast week. And if you don’t have the “virus” in your hand, you can’t test against it. Economic devastation was NOT caused by viruses but merciless lock-downs that caused most of the small business to crumble. The real emergency will come this fall/winter, when vaccinated people will start dropping like flies, which – of counter – will be blamed on unvaxed. It’s all a circilar fallacy…. A manufactered crisis designed to literally ensalve humanity.

    Informed consent is the cornerstone of the physician-patient relationship. Which is one reason that the lies from scientists are so problematic. They were bullied into conformance by healthcare bureaucrats and the monolithic information channel. Bureaucrats are always creatures of government as well. I don’t believe there is a “Deep State.” I believe there is a confluence of interests.

    Big Pharma can be suspected based on Cui Bono alone. I think it’s a lot more complex and a lot simpler simultaneously.

    Alan, I know of no vaccine in existence for a coronavirus. If you’re aware of one that is in fact a vaccine, that works on the immune system to create antibodies, and not a treatment, that attacks the virus’s weaknesses, please share. We had two chances with MERS and SARS, but in the first case the technology was too new to trust our ability to use mRNA, and in the second decision-makers were stuck in a paradigm that everything must be done the way government always does them.

    The latest side effect, myocarditis plus pericarditis, has been reported in 226 cases out of 130M patients. All were under 30 and probably should never have been vaccinated.. Some reports won’t be accurate, some reports won’t be made. One of the standard treatments for both is hydroxychloroquine, but I suspect that deranged authoritarians will insist it not be used. It’s better that young adults suffer life-threatening disease than to exonerate Trump of anything.

    Nobody counted on Operation Warp Speed. And, nobody counted on it succeeding. The standard approach to vaccine or other drug development is twelve years and at least $2B, paid by the pharmaceutical company. As soon as Trump was removed, it could begin in earnest. Meanwhile, the campaign against the vaccines was underway. The announcement of the vaccine’s 95% effectiveness was available before the election; it was delayed until afterwards. VP Kamala Harris said she would not take a drug developed by Trump. After the election, Biden’s transition team claimed there was no vaccine, no plans, they had to start from scratch.

    In this environment, I’m surprised anyone accepted the vaccine. The FDA despised Trump because he took them on head-first about the increasing delays in approving generic versions of already-approved medications. Trump won after two years of effort, the approval process was shortened and consumers saved $7B. He

    Pharma companies have incentives to downplay side effects in their safety trials. Every new side effect requires trials be stopped while the FDA first develops protocols for testing for the side effect and then the separate testing is conducted. The FDA then reviews the results and typically tells the pharma company to go on testing.

    From a cost of money perspective alone, every day’s delay in getting through the process costs the pharma company half a million dollars. It costs the FDA nothing.

    I don’t know what to tell you. It is almost impossible to separate the scientific malpractice from the deranged need to get rid of Trump regardless of cost to other people. My suspicion is that the analysis of the latest side effect can be helped by two blood tests, Anti-Nuclear Antibody and RA-factor.

    Ultimately chemistry is the laws of probability applied over vast quantities. So is physics. In Chemistry, we know some hydrogen atoms have a neutron, about 0.016% of all hydrogen atoms. The distribution of deuterium (also called Hydrogen 2) is pretty random in any amount of water. Only the laws of probability govern that. It is possible to have an entire body of water consist of nothing but D2O instead of H2O, but the probability is astronomical.

    For quantum physics to exist I understand that quantum chemistry must also exist. We’ve now exhausted my knowledge of quantum anything.

    I’m a bit hearing impaired and had to fix the sound so I don’t miss anything so I’m a little behind. It seems like Brett is on a treatment to prevent you from getting sick while the other two had the Moderna vaccine. He didn’t say how long he plans to stay on Imervectin and concluded that a single country with closed borders could theoretically rid themselves of the virus within a month.
    As it stands it seems the problems are with spike proteins circulating the body. Not staying in the shoulder like they were supposed to. I’m not sure myself if this is exactly what they were saying or if they were referring to older technology. It certainly seems the circulating spike proteins are causing side affects.
    It seems the technicalities have been laid out presenting the foundations for real health concerns for those who have been vaccinated and the system has been setup to suppress feedback from entering back into a database. (merg ?) A database necessary to carefully examine side affects. I know how important feedback is, without pain we would not know we have a problem. If I’m getting this right it’s as though they want to hurry up and vaccinate everyone regardless of the side affects. This raises a serious question; Is the government desperate to restart the economy or are the pharmaceutical companies in a hurry to rake in the cash? It might be one, the other or both. Seriously folks, what is really happening? Think about it, without feedback what repercussions are going to be wasted on the sidelines?

    Thought I should share my experience with the second dose of Modernas vaccine. Yes I was pretty sick for 3 days. The symptoms were very strange. Something I’ve never experienced period. For starters I stopped urinating. Secondly I could literally drink plenty of water however it stayed in my stomach. I stuck it out hoping it would be over. After the second day my skin rebounded after pinching it indicating I was not actually dehydrated. It was as though my kidneys we not working or not filling up the bladder, or my bladder wasn’t accepting anything. Eventually I started feeling sick to my stomach and slowly became nauseous thru out the third day. I kept drinking water and literally filled my stomach to the brim. Eventually it led to vomiting. I mean emptying everything in my stomach where I could taste the nasty bile. After this point my stomach felt better and I filled it back up on water. Luckily things started slowly working. I did urinate but it was nothing like being normal. I just stuck it out as things were starting to work again. A few days later I was fine. Is it possible the organs themselves were affected or was it a lack of communication from my central nervous system where the brain was not communicating with the organs? Perhaps something that will never be answered. I assumed it had something to do with the immune system producing antibodies. However after watching the video it seems possible it had something to do with the spike proteins flowing thru the body. Honestly I have no clue but it was indeed very strange.

    Alan, this is the first time that messenger RNA has been used in a vaccine. Even though the technology is twenty years old, there is only so much that science can determine before beginning widespread use. RNA is inherently fragile, and once injected into the body its protective fat layer begins to degrade. This is only speculation, mind you, but if the fat layer is sufficiently degraded to expose the RNA to the various fluids present in the body, it (the RNA) could be damaged. The result of the damage would be the same as a mutation caused by any other means. Most mutations are completely harmless; those that aren’t rarely present a life-threatening problem. You didn’t have a life-threatening problem.

    A mutation in the RNA is a possibility, but this is pure speculation.

    From the Wall Street Journal: “Are Covid Vaccines Riskier Than Advertised? There are concerning trends on blood clots and low platelets, not that the authorities will tell you.” The authors of this Op-Ed are Dr. Ladapo is an associate professor of medicine at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. Dr. Risch is a professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health.

    “The implication is that the risks of a Covid-19 vaccine may outweigh the benefits for certain low-risk populations, such as children, young adults and people who have recovered from Covid-19. This is especially true in regions with low levels of community spread, since the likelihood of illness depends on exposure risk.

    And while you would never know it from listening to public-health officials, not a single published study has demonstrated that patients with a prior infection benefit from Covid-19 vaccination. That this isn’t readily acknowledged by the CDC or Anthony Fauci is an indication of how deeply entangled pandemic politics is in science.”
