General Vaccine Information
This is a highly-charged topic, and there is a plethora of information readily available about the pros of vaccination, but the cons are discussed with far less frequency. It is my intention to provide accurate and relevant information for informed decisions to be made.
The following excerpt is from my book “Maximizing Your Pregnancy, Birth, and Newborn”
“Almost all vaccines contain toxic contaminants like mercury, formaldehyde, MSG, antibiotics, squalene, Polysorbate 80, and shockingly, even aborted fetal tissue. These toxins can produce dangerous side effects and reactions ranging from soreness, reduced immune function, brain damage, to death. Many symptoms from effects are not observed until years after the vaccination, and no one really knows the long-term effects of vaccines. We now have a whole nation of people with lowered immune responses, the typical S.A.D. (Standard American Diet), further depleting it. We also have witnessed a drastic rise in autism, auto-immune disorders, learning disorders, and ADHD.
The development and marketing of vaccines is surrounded by conflicts of interest. Many scientists involved with the vaccine governing bodies in the CDC are on pharmaceutical payrolls, own lucrative pharmaceutical stocks, and some, even have patents on the vaccines they are mandating.
Our bodies were created with an amazing ability to heal, providing there is no interference. Whether it is dirt, dust, dander, viruses, or bacteria, every irritant is a necessary challenge to be overcome by our innate immune system. As exercise is helpful to the muscles, the immune system grows stronger with every natural challenge it encounters (germs, bacteria, etc.).” (1)
Covid-19 Vaccine Information
If you watch the mainstream media, you have most likely been led to believe that a vaccine for Covid-19 is the holy grail in terms of slaying this pandemic beast. The push for a Covid-19 vaccine has been fast and furious but before you line up to get it, there are many things you should know. The details of this vaccine (or vaccines) are still being determined as they are still in development and there are several different companies manufacturing a vaccine.
Obviously, it is concerning that a vaccine would be developed in such a short amount of time with little testing. Many vaccines that HAVE been vetted according to the current standards are still dangerous, cause reactions, significant side effects and are known to have bad or contaminated batches.
There are also new mechanisms, technology and delivery systems in development for this particular vaccine that are concerning. Therefore, it would stand to reason that the testing should take much longer, not be fast-tracked.
Lack of medical freedom
Stand for Health Freedom is a wonderful organization that is on the front line of the fight to protect health freedoms. They can be found at http://www.standforhealthfreedom.com.
“Mandated medicine has no place in a free society. Forced medical procedures are a throwback to Nazi Germany, the Tuskegee Study, and the forced lobotomies and sterilizations that were commonplace in the United States for many decades.” (2)
“Forcing someone to take a vaccine for a virus that’s not well understood – particularly when the vaccine is experimental, clinically unproven and plagued with safety issues – is unethical and unconstitutional.” (2)
Of great concern is that there is no liability or responsibility on the part of the very people and organizations making and administering the vaccine. Stand for Health Freedom’s fact sheet goes on to say, “…if the coronavirus vaccine causes a serious reaction, injury or death, no one will be held responsible. Under the PREP Act – passed in 2005 and invoked in March 2020 by HHS Director Alex Azar II – vaccine manufacturers, government agencies, doctors and all others are free from liability from harm caused by the coronavirus vaccine. Thus, if the vaccine harms you or a family member in any way, it’s you who will be left with the consequences as well as the medical bills.” (2)
There is also the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 which removes liability from vaccine manufacturers. As part of this act, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) was created to provide a compensation system for vaccine related injuries or death while keeping manufacturers in a no-fault status. The money comes from taxes on vaccines. So, in essence, people are paying into it when they get a vaccine.
These large pharmaceutical companies avoid responsibility and have no consequences for adverse reactions to the vaccines they develop.
Removal of medical privacy
HIPPA privacy laws have been long established but it seems some of these laws are now being circumvented. The talk of having to prove your COVID-19 status or your vaccination status to fly, to get a driver’s license, to attend school and more, seems in clear violation of these privacy protections. For example, “the International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that it is in the final development phase of creating a “digital passport” known as The IATA Travel Pass mobile application that will display SARS-CoV-2 test results and proof of COVID-19 vaccination.” (3) If enacted, the travel pass will be required in order to travel. This seems to fly in the face of medical privacy laws.
According to the HIPPA Journal website, “The information protected by the HIPAA privacy laws is known as “Individually Identifiable Health Information”. This is any information that can reveal a patient´s identity in respect of:
- the patient´s past, present or future physical or mental condition,
- the provision of healthcare treatment and healthcare services to the patient, or
- the past, present, or future payment for the provision of healthcare to the patient.” (4)
As an example, imagine if someone’s HIV status was accessible to airlines, employers, or schools. Many different advocacy organizations would be up in arms! This would be considered discriminatory and unacceptable. This is a very concerning invasion of privacy and interferes with our health freedoms.
mRNA – a brand new type of vaccine
According to the CDC website, “mRNA vaccines are a new type of vaccine to protect against infectious diseases. To trigger an immune response, many vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, they teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. That immune response, which produces antibodies, is what protects us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies.” (5)
While this sounds promising, there is much more to the story.
To restate, a typical vaccine will introduce a dead or attenuated (weakened) virus or germ into the body to elicit an immune response. The new mRNA vaccines are designed with the intent to ‘instruct’ our cells to make a Spike protein, (Spike protein is present naturally in the virus that causes COVID 19). The idea is that the immune system will recognize this spike protein and begin to make antibodies and build an immune response. Obviously, this is a man-made process that circumvents the body’s innate response to a virus and does not allow the body to build immunity naturally.
This is a completely new and untested type of vaccine. It injects synthetic genetic material into our cells. No one yet knows the ramifications of this either in the short term or the long term.
Aborted fetal tissue – an ethical consideration
For those who are opposed to aborted fetal tissue in vaccines, the mRNA vaccines would be cause for concern. (For information on which vaccines contain aborted fetal tissue, visit www.cogforlife.org) Many argue that since there are no aborted fetal cells actually IN the vaccine that it meets ethical standards. However, the mRNA vaccine is made FROM the HEK-293 cell line.
We know the HEK-293 cell line was used in the Moderna vaccine development because a link to an August 2020 article from the Nature journal is referenced on their website. (6)
The HEK-293 cell line came from an aborted fetus around 1972 and has been used ever since in testing, research, vaccine development and the drug Xigris.
According to an FDA document from a meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Advisory Committee on May 16, 2001 explained the back story of the HEK-293 cell line this way, “…the Kidney material, the fetal kidney material was as follows. The kidney of the fetus was, with an unknown family history, was obtained in 1972 probably. The precise date is not known anymore. The fetus, as far as I can remember was completely normal. Nothing was wrong. The reasons for the abortion were unknown to me. I probably knew it at the time, but it got lost, all this information.” (7)
Also of note, from a health perspective, these cells are considered “immortal cells”, meaning, they never technically die. There are other cells that never die that everyone is familiar with. And those are cancer cells. Cancer cells do not go through apoptosis (a natural process of cell self-destruction to avoid proliferation of dangerous cells), therefore making them immortal. In other words, cells that never die are not normal or natural and introducing them into a healthy body should be cause for concern.
New Nano-Technology
In addition, because the mRNA molecule is very unstable, they are protected by PEGylated lipid nanoparticles.
PEGylated lipid nanoparticles are coated with a polymer called polyethylene glycol (PEG). It is synthetic and non-biodegradable, and will therefore live in your body forever. According to Dr. Romeo Quijano, retired professor at the College of Medicine, University of the Philippines Manila, “…PEG can also provoke severe neuropsychiatric symptoms in offsprings, including mood swings, rage, phobias and paranoia. Investigators who once assumed that the polymer was largely “inert” are now questioning its biocompatibility and warning about PEGylated particles’ promotion of tumor growth and adverse immune responses that include “probably underdiagnosed” life-threatening anaphylaxis.” (8)
This is fast advancing technology that, while fascinating, is also concerning as it can be very powerful and have unknown and far-reaching implications.
For example, there was a 2019 paper titled, “Nanowire probes could drive high-resolution brain-machine interfaces.” that appeared in the journal Nano Today. It described,
“…advances can enable investigations of dynamics in the brain [through nano-sensor-implants] and drive the development of new brain-machine interfaces with unprecedented resolution and precision.” (9)
“…output electrical signals of brain activity or input electrical stimuli to modulate brain activity in concert with external machines, including computer processors and prosthetics, for human enhancement…” (9)
This is very sci-fi type of technology. Although it is undetermined which components of these new technologies and how many of them will be utilized in the COVID-19 vaccines, we must future pace this and ask questions. Should this type of nanotechnology be used, could it control our thoughts, sensations, feelings, or emotions? To draw a parallel, think about the advancements in the area of prosthetics. This type of technology is already being used and it is for a noble good. However, it can be a slippery slope. Imagine this technology in the wrong hands or used for more nefarious purposes. We must ask questions, we must make fully informed decisions, and we must voice our collective concerns.
New administration technology – dissolving microneedles/ quantum-dot tattoos
Brand new technology is also being developed to change the way vaccines are administered. This new microneedle technology would go on the skin like a bandage and allow for it to be self-administered. (Think – go to the drug store, pick up a vaccine and go home and put it on your skin or your child’s skin yourself.)
The following excerpts are from an article posted on Rice University’s media relations page,
A pattern of 1.5-millimeter microneedles that contain vaccine and fluorescent quantum dots are applied as a patch. The needles dissolve under the skin, leaving the encapsulated quantum dots. Their pattern can be read to identify the vaccine that was administered. The project was co-led by Rice University bioengineer Kevin McHugh during his time at MIT (10)
“The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation came to us and said, ‘Hey, we have a real problem — knowing who’s vaccinated,’” said McHugh, who was recruited to join
Rice with funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. “They said, ‘We go on vaccination campaigns where people get into Hummers, drive to a rural village, set up a tent and start immunizing people, but they don’t always know who’s been immunized before and what vaccines are still needed.” (10)
This technology would impart a fluorescent “tattoo” that would contain your medical information, including your vaccination status. As I mentioned previously, this is a distinct violation of long-standing privacy laws.
“The tags are incorporated in only some of the array of sugar-based microneedles on a patch. When the needles dissolve in about two minutes, they deliver the vaccine and leave the pattern of tags just under the skin, where they become something like a bar-code tattoo. Instead of ink, this highly specific medical record consists of copper-based quantum dots embedded in biocompatible, micron-scale capsules. Their near-infrared dye is invisible, but the pattern they set can be read and interpreted by a customized smartphone.” (10)
The enzyme ‘luciferase’ is the chemical used to make the quantum dot vaccination readable through a mobile app. (11)
This brings us back to the “digital passport” idea. While it remains unclear as to whether or not this technology will be rolled out right away or not, it is cause for question and concern.
Side Effects and Pathogenicity
As of yet, there is little information related to whether or not the vaccine will be effective at all. Even more alarming, there is evidence to show that this type of vaccine may make the virus even more aggressive and cause more significant symptoms than would have occurred naturally.
Four of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine trial volunteers contracted Bell’s Palsy (a condition that causes a weakness or paralysis of muscles in the face often manifesting in drooping). Pfizer spokespeople said it was likely unrelated to the vaccine but you can draw your own conclusions. (12)
In the clinical trial for the Moderna vaccine, 3 out of 15 volunteers developed serious symptoms. To quote Dr. Quijano again, “In a brazen act of unethical behaviour, Moderna even used a volunteer vaccine recipient, Ian Haydon, to appear in many appearances on media promoting Moderna’s experimental COVID-19 vaccine. Moderna encouraged Haydon to appear on TV to deceive the public and its shareholders. Less than 12 hours after vaccination, Haydon suffered muscle aches, vomiting, spiked a 103.2 degree fever and had lost consciousness.” (13).
(Note: the Moderna vaccine that Bill Gates is financing and Dr. Anthony Fauci is promoting.)
The Pfizer vaccine, which is the first to be administered, listed this in the Adverse Reactions section of their Fact Sheet, “Adverse reactions following the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine that have been reported in clinical trials include injection site pain, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, fever, injection site swelling, injection site redness, nausea, malaise, and lymphadenopathy” (14)
In addition, “The paradoxical effects of innate immune sensing on different formats of mRNA vaccines are incompletely understood. Potential safety concerns include local and systemic inflammation, biodistribution and persistence of expressed immunogen, stimulation of auto-reactive antibodies, and potential toxic effects of non-native nucleotides and delivery system components. A mRNA-based vaccine could also induce potent type I interferon responses, which have been associated not only with inflammation but also potentially with autoimmunity”, said Dr. Quijano. (13)
Inflammation is at the root of virtually every disease process. The skyrocketing rates of autoimmune conditions, even in children and young adults is at an all-time high. While there are many contributing factors, vaccines continue to be linked to the risk of developing autoimmune conditions. These conditions arise from an abnormal immune response so the introduction of foreign immune triggers seems to be adding fuel to the fire.
It is also highly likely that the vaccines will interact with naturally occurring viruses which could produce hybrid, morphed, and potentially more virulent (more aggressive) viruses. These vaccines are unpredictable in nature due to the fact that are genetically engineered and untested.
Final Thoughts
Making an informed decision when it comes to receiving a vaccination is a very important and very polarizing topic.
There is so much uncertainty but it is likely many communities have already achieved herd immunity naturally. It would seem a more prudent approach to get an antibody test to determine your immune status rather than get an untested vaccine that may cause immediate side effects and potentially long-term consequences. It seems that most of the COVID-19 vaccines will come with a 2-3 dose regimen, multiplying the potential risks.
It is a curious endeavor trying to determine what the end game is. When is the pandemic over? When will people feel safe again? When can we stop social distancing and wearing masks?
Is it when there are 0 deaths? Is it when there are 0 cases? Is it when there is a vaccine available? Is it when each and every person receives a two-dose vaccine regimen?
Recently, Dr. Vin Gupta said on MSNBC, “Just because you get vaccinated with that second dose does not mean you should be participating in things like traveling in the middle of an out-of-control pandemic or that you’re liberated from masks. Everything still applies until all of us get the two-dose regimen. We don’t think that will happen until June, July.” This just perpetuates the notion that we may never be safe and that the goal line keeps getting pushed further out.
It is important to remember that there have been pandemics before and likely will be again. When it comes to any kind of virus, nature and our immune systems know how to handle them. After all, according to the CDC, the survival rate for the disease is in the 99% + category. (16) However, this is never the focus from medical professionals or the mainstream media. Instead, the focus continues to be on the number of cases and instilling fear.
In comparison, here are the survival rates for the following diseases:
AIDS 10-20%
SARS – 89%
Ebola 10-17%
Measles 97-99%
1918 Spanish Flu – 97.5%
Flu 99%
(17)
Be an informed patient and consumer. Sadly, many people research the car or the computer they are going to buy more than what they put into their bodies. Ask for the vaccine insert and read it thoroughly and continue to do your own research. Of course, this is all unprecedented and changing frequently, but it is also advisable to find out the vaccine exemption laws in your state (if you are considering an exemption, you may want to get it in order now). This is an issue that will continue to be of great importance and not to be taken lightly.
