As a mom of thirteen kids, Heather needs all the brain power she can get! Here, she shares the main points of how the information in this book can impact your health!
Be Informed. Be Engaged. Be Kind.
I am follower of Christ, a sinner saved by grace, trying to walk in the sweetness of life – resting in the strength of the triune God, who fortifies me daily with His righteousness, loving kindness and holiness of spirit. Read full bio here.
NOTE: I first started writing this post in January 2021, and then just kept adding to it. There have been hundreds of thousands of personal reports since that time. Please note that the “data photos” in this post may be out-of-date; however, any links you click on within the post WILL provide current data.
Edit 9/13/2021: additional stories – that should also be reviewed, can also be found HERE.
Edit 6/28/2021 Please check out this new post on the new myocarditis warning on Covid Vaccines, and a very disturbing press conference held by Senator Ron Johnson. The failure of the medical community and government agencies are on full display. Click HERE.
Edit:6/3/2021: There have been so many adverse reaction stories now with young people who have gotten the vaccine – I honesty can’t keep up. Please listen to this short podcast, that just came out last week, which reviews the science (by a pro-vax doctor) of why this vaccine may need to be halted. He states that “This is where is get’s scary…we have made a mistake.” You need to weigh the risk/benefit ratio. Please also know that there are successful protocols in place if you were to get covid. Please do not be led to a decision by fear.
Edit 4/17/2021: NOTE: With reports coming in of some people getting Covid even after being fully vaccinated,(Almost 6,000 thousand reported here with 17 deaths – In MI some being hospitalized and 3 deaths, as of April 26, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded 9,245 breakthrough including 132 deaths), reports stating that vaccinated people may be 8 times more likely to contract new Covid variant, please consider watching the video at the end of this post featuring Dr. Peter McCullough’s senate testimony. It is extremely important to know that there are treatments for Covid-19, that could be life-saving. (As of June there are thousands more, however the CDC is now only counting those breakthrough cases that lead to hospitalization or death – which is very different from what they did when originally counting Covid cases which lead to shuts downs and mandates)
Is having a government/business/school that has the power to force mandates really a “greater good”? We may never have a federal vaccine mandate, but we may have a “defacto” mandate if all businesses, schools and employers mandate them. Will the number of vaccines required ever have a limit? As you read through all this post, please consider asking the question,” Is mandating an EXPERIMENTAL vaccine ethical – especially when we know there are effective treatments for the disease?
Who will listen to all these concerns?
This is the sentiment of many as they share their story, or the stories of their loved ones:
After reviewing the vaccine debate over the last 25 years, I have heard the reasons why many people choose to receive a vaccine, or not choose to receive a vaccine. The dilemma is who gets to make that choice for an individual.
Most of us have been presented the case that millions of doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have been administered and the vaccine has been deemed “safe and effective”, and we should possibly move into mandates and even “vaccine passports”. I present the following information to bring a broader scope to the conversation that I hope will bring further review of the issue.
As I have stated in my previous post, I will also state here: I have personally had more than a moderate case of Covid-19, and experienced some ‘long-haul” symptoms, (recently resolved). Most of my family, and many of my friends have had Covid, mostly mild. A friend of mine has died of Covid-19. Thus, yes, I know that Covid-19 is very real.
Please note: I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THE MAIN GOAL IN POSTING THESE STORIES IS NOT TO USE FEAR TO KEEP SOMEONE FROM GETTING THE VACCINE. In making your decision, you must not be moved by fear, or coercion, but rather by information that covers ALL the risks and benefits.
The news and media campaigns certainly tell the story of people who have not had any reactions. Maybe you or your family and friends have not either. But thousands of people have.
After reading through all of the stories in this post, and recognizing the hundreds of thousands of AE reports from government data sites, we need to respect each person’s right to make the choice that is best for them. This is not an issue that should cause division, but does require a great deal of civility.
The goal is simply to provide information so that people can make an informed decision that they feel is best for them. The risk/benefit ratio will be different for everyone. Which is why the choice may be different.
Since first writing this blog post, I have split the contents into two separate posts. The information in this post primarily gives info on news articles and personal stories on adverse reactions, how we need to start building trust, and the need for choice. To access the data to 4 government sites on adverse reactions that have been reported, click below:
Continue with more stories below
In most all of the news stories below, the general media narrative response has been that many of these cases were unrelated to the vaccine. The standard line is “Correlation is not causation”. Yes, that is true and I think most people are aware of that. However, when there are thousands of reports, hundreds of headlines and people sharing their stories on social media, are we to believe that there is no correlation or association at all? We cannot build trust this way. Remember that these are experimental vaccines, that have been created at “warp speed”, using brand new technology, never before used in humans, were tested for several months, and then rolled out to vaccinate a global population. How can it be so quickly determined that a possibility of an association could not even be considered?
Before reading all of the news stories and personal adverse reaction statements below (to which there are many more that are reported daily, I just do not have the time to post them all), I would like to start first with a letter that Dr. Whelan, a pediatric rheumatologist from UCLA, wrote to the FDA back in December in regard to the possibility of the spike protein causing organ damage. He writes:
“As important as it is to quickly arrest the spread of the virus by immunizing the population, it would be vastly worse if hundreds of millions of people were to suffer long-lasting or even permanent damage to their brain or heart microvasculature as a result of failing to appreciate in the short-term an unintended effect of full-length spike protein-based vaccines on these other organs.“
Please keep in mind the contents of his letter as you proceed to read each story. Also note that the mRNA vaccines are instructions to make ONLY the spike protein.
Again, I write on this topic so that people can examine the evidence for themselves and hopefully be allowed to make a choice for themselves.
“We found out that the young man had contracted the coronavirus asymptomatically before he was vaccinated. It may be accidental but I would not underestimate it. Care must be taken in vaccination of people who were sick with coronavirus in the past.”
Perhaps doctors should reconsider who should receive these vaccines.
The following photos give a few reports, but again, you can read all cases by clicking the above link.
On March 14, 2021 Germany, France, Spain, Norway, Iceland, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Italy, Denmark, Thailand, Switzerland, South Africa had all suspended use of the AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine due to concerns of deaths related to blood clots.(Although, all of the vaccines have had similar stories.)
But then on March 18, 2021 some countries had resumed the vaccine. This was a press statement:
“It said it would investigate reports of clots in the cerebral veins (sinus vein thrombosis, or CSVT) occurring together with lowered platelets soon after vaccination. But the agency said use of the vaccine should continue and one official said Britain’s rollout would likely continue EVEN IF A LINK WAS PROVED.”
So, government officials can choose that the benefit is greater than the risk, but can individuals have that choice?
They will investigate AFTER the vaccines are given – which may cause some people serious adverse reactions or death.
Will people be mandated to have this vaccine to keep their jobs? Go to school? To do business or travel?
An Australian man has been admitted to hospital with a rare blood clotting disorder a few days after receiving the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.

The article says there has been 28 cases, yet VAERS alone reports 1,082 and that us occuring with ALL the vaccines.

Becca’s mom, Virginia, received her first dose of the J&J vaccine on 3/8/21. She died of cardiac arrest two days later.
There have been reports starting back in February about Pfizer and Moderna causing thrombocytopenia
If you continue to scroll down this post, you will see how women have been posting on irregular bleeding well before Johnson and Johnson came out, after their vaccination. This was one of several stories from back In February (from The New York TImes):
Follow up from previous post:
Something to consider. Initial vaccine trials are generally done with the healthier of the population. That certainly makes sense because you would not want to start the trials with the “frail and/or elderly”, or really anyone who may have some underlying health conditions. However, is that not what we are now doing? We really do not have adequate information as to ascertain what the reactions may be with this population because the vaccine was not primarily tested on this demographic.
To approve the use of an experimental technology on such a massive scale without such data on a vulnerable demographic group seems potentially imprudent.
Click on each picture for the story.
Doctors in Norway have been asked to conduct more thorough evaluations of very frail elderly patients in line to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
“Due to the small number of study participants in the age group ≥65 years, no conclusion can be made regarding efficacy and safety in the elderly.”
This post contained many comments of people sharing their stories of people they know who have either died or had serious reactions.
He has since passed away.
Please watch these videos:
What is really heartbreaking is that some people have called this a hoax. This is the response of some:
Stephen Doig, a data journalism professor at Arizona State University and board member of the National Center on Disability and Journalism, told the Daily Dot that Skelton “is clearly faking a problem.”
So now not only is Shawn fighting with the adverse reactions, she has to fight against those calling her a liar. How does Mr. Doig come to such a conclusion? Are all the people having this reaction faking it? In addition, because Shawn never reported her reaction to the health department or VAERS, they dismiss the claim. This would also confirm my earlier point that VAERS only captures a very small number of actual cases.
Kristi, and RN, started having non-stop tremors after the vaccine and mentions that she knows 5 other people this has happened to.
Click photo to watch.
What has transpired in the last 3 months to these women is absolutely tragic. Click HERE to watch the video to hear their story. If that has difficultly loading, click HERE to listen to the audio. It is long, but people need to hear what has happened to these women.
These women, and many like them who are now suffering in the same way they are, were not “anti-vaccine”. They are all healthcare workers – who had had all their vaccines. No one is listening to them, and they have lost everything. These issues certainly do not happen to everyone, but we as a society cannot ignore those who put their trust into the medical community that mandates this. We do so at our own detriment.
And perhaps hundreds or thousands more:
This Covid nurse had the Pfizer vaccine and at the time of this video was still experiencing Bell’s Palsey symptoms.
Anaphylaxis, an acute and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, has been reported following vaccination with Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
What could this potentially mean for pregnant women, or women who are trying to get pregnant? (The total is now over 140,00 women have responded – and growing)
Here are stories people have posted on social media. It is imperative that each person do their own research in reviewing these stories.
There have been continuing reports of people getting sores in their mouth after the vaccine.
See NY Times article HERE
Moore told the Times that officials “seem to have abandoned science completely now and are just trying to guess their way out of a mess.”

Unfortunately, you may be on your own in paying for your medical bills. (You can see above from the post by Yarah Dalmu)
Again, If you have to assume the risk, then you should have a choice.
“It’s disturbing that they could throw out so many of these so quickly,” said Meyers, who believes most of those new cases were likely COVID-19 claims.”
But experts specializing in vaccine law say it is difficult to navigate. “This government compensation program is very hard to use,” said Reiss. “The bar for compensation is very high.”
Here’s a look at Pfizers past record:
And Johnson & Johnson’s:
Keep in mind Yarah’s story above of how her dad died after being a J & J participant – and J & J took no responsibility.
From Drugwatch, click HERE and scroll to the end of the article to review a multitude of court cases J & J has been involved with.
“J&J has faced hundreds of thousands of lawsuits over claims its products are defective.”
“Lawsuits point to internal documents showing J&J and its subsidiaries knew about problems with their products but sold them anyway.”
“In addition to individual product liability lawsuits, individual states who say Johnson & Johnson helped fuel the opioid crisis are suing the company for millions of dollars.“
Dr. Doshi is an associate professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and associate editor at The BMJ.
“A rough estimate of vaccine efficacy against developing covid-19 symptoms, with or without a positive PCR test result, would be a relative risk reduction of 19% (see footnote)—far below the 50% effectiveness threshold for authorization set by regulators.”
Dr. Doshi also noted in a NY Times article:
“The vaccines are not risk free. Most side effects appear to be mild and short lived, but not all. For example, with the Moderna vaccine, the frequency of grade 3 adverse events — those severe enough to prevent daily activity, is higher than it is for most vaccines: 17.4 percent, or nearly one in five 18-to-64-year-olds who received the vaccine in the company’s trial. (Grade 3 adverse events appear to occur less frequently with the Pfizer vaccine, but a direct comparison is not possible.) And there have been some serious allergic reactions. It’s reasonable for people to weigh all of this in making their decisions.”
Several years back, I wrote a blog post that contained a link to a WHO (World Health Organization) presentation. This photo was part of that presentation (minus my highlights):
When you look at a driving force behind the making of vaccines, and the potential number of vaccines (Currently there are 69 doses on the CDC schedule for children), and The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service has been in the works to start an Adult schedule (click here), I think mandates become a problem.
It’s a great market to be in when everyone is mandated to take your product and you do not have to be held liable for any injuries. It is understandable why it might become an “engine”.
I am not suggesting here that drug companies don’t have a legitimate motive to make drugs that may help people. But what I am suggesting is that one cannot ignore the financial incentive. These are for-profit companies and they are in business to make money.
Please take a moment to review where we may be headed.
How many of the 120 new vaccine products might become mandated? How many will be on the new “Adult Schedule”?
This is the current chilhood vaccine schedule. How many more will be added to this? How many might be too many?
compared to:
2017: 50 doses of 14 vaccines by age 6
and
1983: 24 doses of 7 vaccines by age 18
2017: 69 doses of 16 vaccines by age 18
In 2018 the pharmaceutical industry spent almost $400 million lobbying congress. It is been stated that “Everybody takes money from Phrma, so they are all corrupted, that is why it is almost impossible to get anything done on Capitol Hill.” That may be why members of congress say that they have faced pressure, been bullied or threatened when they have tried to raise vaccine safety issue. (See video here.)
Pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued for any liability from their products. We do know that vaccines can cause harm in some people. That is why the government has paid out over $4 billion dollars though the National Vaccine Injury Compensation program.
Will we get to the point where we cannot travel unless we all have “Vaccine Passport” showing we have whatever vaccine someone said we had to have? How many vaccines could that ultimately end up being? And shouldn’t people who have already Covid-19 be allowed to travel without a vaccine? Natural immunity has always been the gold standard for protection. Why would that change?
You can read all about it here – just click on each picture.
Is this indicative of what will happen worldwide?: In Israel, people who prove they’ve been vaccinated with a “green pass” app can get access to restaurants, gyms, hotels, theaters and concerts that remain off-limits to the unvaccinated.
Some believe that mandatory vaccines are needed for the “greater good” for society. I would like to put forth the premise that TRUST is the greater good. If the goal is to build a public health policy that people believe in, across-the-board mandates, fueled by an industry where profit drives production, are probably not the best way to gain public trust.
Distrust has been growing for some time now for a variety of reasons. Right now, people have little faith in public policies because they do not believe what they are being told.
I believe that people just want honest unbiased information and have the ability to choose which vaccines they feel are appropriate for them. I can also tell you after 25 years of covering this, censorship of information is at an all-time high. I say that not in some conspiratorial sense, but just from my own experience on trying to find information that was once readily available. And sometimes the information may still be there, but sites like Facebook and Instagram “bury it” so that it becomes almost impossible to find.
When ONLY one side of an issue is allowed to be heard, and when that side has the power to literally silence and lock out other voices by that power by delegitimizing other’s concerns, and refusing to engage in rigorous debate, we have a serious breech in trust that will only continue to wear down the walls of trust.
The greater good in society is reflected in the laws that build a foundation of trust. Trust comes when people know that there is transparency in information, their concerns are being heard, and knowing they have a seat at the table.
If a person has to be forced to do something that, given their medical history, might hurt them, or that goes against their first amendment protected religious convictions (Click HERE for concerns with the J & J vaccine and the use of aborted babies), in order to keep their job, go to school or move about in society, it will only breed a corrosive distrust and civil unrest.
Trust can be gained through robust education that allows for full informed consent, vigorous civil discourse and debate within the public square.
Forced vaccination will only damage public confidence across the board.
The goal is a safe, pro-informed consent vaccine policy, which upholds constitutional freedoms.

Something that seems a bit perplexing is why the FDA would authorize a brand new mRNA technology for emergency use – something never used before in humans – and to be given to a worldwide population – and yet not authorize the use of other long-standing drugs.
From the FDA website:
“FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are NO adequate, approved, and available alternatives.”
There are well-respected and well-published physicians who have been trying diligently to bring awareness to the public of long established drugs that could be used for the successful treatment of Covid.
However, you will hear in Dr. McCullough’s testimony (here) that they have been “blocked” because once it was decided in May 2020 that a vaccine might be amendable for Covid, there was a silencing of information on treatment. All efforts on treatments were dropped.
How many deaths might have been avoided if these treatments had been allowed to be used? Were they blocked so that emergency authorization could be established?
As Dr. McCullough states, “What has gone on is beyond belief.”
Please consider taking the time to watch these videos. They contain critically important information that would be helpful for everyone to hear in the event that they contract Covid. Even if you have been vaccinated, you will want to listen in. As noted above, fully vaccinated people are still coming down with Covid, and dying.
Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at Texas A & M University School of Medicine, and has been intricately involved in the response to Covid-19. He has published more papers than anyone else in the world, in his field of study.
(10/30/21 Update. McCullough and Baylor have parted ways, but it is important to note that he started to speak out against the safety of the vaccine. Well, Baylor, due to Dr. Hotez, a prominent vaccine proponent, is also at Baylor and has received millions of dollars in funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and other drug companies. So, it was seemingly a financial move on Baylor’s part to distance themselves from McCullough, because it certainly would not be his medical credentials.)

May I please first state that I would like to make it perfectly clear that my intent in reporting on Covid-19 adverse reactions is not to suggest either that a person should, or should not, get the vaccine.
There is only one reason I write on vaccines, and that is in regard to overall vaccine policy. It is my hope that each person reading this will always have the right to be allowed to make medical decisions that are in alignment with their conscience, and that takes into consideration their own personal health history.
My hope in stating this is that I can steer clear of those who might label me “anti-vaccine”, “anti-science” or prone to various “conspiracies” that are going around. I honestly believe that people on both sides of this issue genuinely feel motivated by “the greater good” (even though they may vehemently disagree with one another on what is the “greater good”). There are many differences in how the scientific data is looked at, what studies have actually been done, and the reality that vaccines can cause injury in some people, which is why the government set up the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
So why am I posting the adverse reactions at all? Isn’t that unfair and confirming my own bias?
I am reporting on them because we are currently being inundated with marketing campaigns telling us how important it is to get the Covid vaccine and how safe and effective it is. Some would say that is understandable given that we are in a pandemic. However, I do not believe it is unfair to share additional information that people may not be receiving through general media outlets. I believe it is important for people to have as much information as possible before making a medical health choice that may have long term effects. I personally have no vested interest as to whether a person gets the vaccine or not. I affirm their right to do so, or not to do so. I have already stated my motive as one being guided by my interest in vaccine policy, and not a specific vaccine. In highlighting the adverse reactions, my point is just to show why choice must be allowed.
I have personally had more than a moderate case of Covid-19, and experienced some ‘long-haul” symptoms, (recently resolved). Most of my family, and many of my friends have had Covid-19, mostly mild. A friend of mine has died of Covid-19. Thus, yes, I know that Covid-19 is very real. There is no issue with people wanting to get a vaccine, as long as it is their choice, and they are not mandated to get one in order to travel, work, do business, or attend school.

Of course, you can surely find evidence of people who have had the vaccine and have not currently had any adverse reactions.
As you read story after story, and headline after headline, (there are thousands), it would be hard to deny there may be a risk associated with the vaccine for some. And those who carry that risk also have to carry the cost of that risk. Where there is risk, there simply must be a choice.

(The post was first published in January 2021, however it gets updated several times per week with additional in-coming reports and updates on adverse reaction reports.)
Edit 4/4/2021: NOTE: With reports coming in of some people getting Covid even after being fully vaccinated, (In MI some being hospitalized and 3 deaths), and reports stating that vaccinated people may be 8 times more likely to contract new Covid variant, please consider watching the video at the end of this post featuring Dr. Peter McCullough’s senate testimony. It is extremely important to know that there are treatments for Covid-19, that could be life-saving.
Edit: 4/16/2021 This week it has been reported that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is being halted due to six cases of “rare” blood clotting issues. There are more than 6 cases in this blog post. These same types of reactions have been happening with the Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca, as well…just start scrolling down this post.

Although the above stories reflect all the vaccines on the market, AstraZeneca has particularly been in the news of late. On March 14, 2021 Germany, France, Spain, Norway, Iceland, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Italy, Denmark, Thailand, Switzerland, South Africa had all suspended use of the AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine due to concerns of deaths related to blood clots.

If you continue to scroll down this post, you will see how women have been posting on irregular bleeding well before Johnson and Johnson came out, after their vaccination. This was one of several stories from back In February (from The New York TImes):
Follow up from previous post:
Something to consider. Initial vaccine trials are generally done with the healthier of the population. That certainly makes sense because you would not want to start the trials with the “frail and/or elderly”, or really anyone who may have some underlying health conditions. However, is that not what we are now doing? We really do not have adequate information as to ascertain what the reactions may be with this population because the vaccine was not primarily tested on this demographic.
To approve the use of an experimental technology on such a massive scale without such data on a vulnerable demographic group seems potentially imprudent.

Doctors in Norway have been asked to conduct more thorough evaluations of very frail elderly patients in line to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
“Due to the small number of study participants in the age group ≥65 years, no conclusion can be made regarding efficacy and safety in the elderly.”
This post contained many comments of people sharing their stories of people they know who have either died or had serious reactions.
He has since passed away.

What is really heartbreaking is that some people have called this a hoax. This is the response of some:
Stephen Doig, a data journalism professor at Arizona State University and board member of the National Center on Disability and Journalism, told the Daily Dot that Skelton “is clearly faking a problem.”
So now not only is Shawn fighting with the adverse reactions, she has to fight against those calling her a liar. How does Mr. Doig come to such a conclusion? Are all the people having this reaction faking it? In addition, because Shawn never reported her reaction to the health department or VAERS, they dismiss the claim. This would also confirm my earlier point that VAERS only captures a very small number of actual cases.
Kristi, and RN, started having non-stop tremors after the vaccine and mentions that she knows 5 other people this has happened to.

This Covid nurse had the Pfizer vaccine and at the time of this video was still experiencing Bell’s Palsey symptoms.
Anaphylaxis, an acute and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, has been reported following vaccination with Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
There is an instagram page that has shared over 200 posts from women who have had vaginal bleeding like they have never had before, right after the shot, or early start of periods. When you consider that there are probably only a small percentage of women sharing on social media, the actual number may be significantly higher. How is any of this really being tracked, since most people know nothing of VAERS, and especially if most people are told that whatever adverse reactions they are having, are not vaccine-related?
Here are stories people have posted on social media. It is imperative that each person do their own research in reviewing these stories.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THE MAIN GOAL IN POSTING THESE STORIES IS NOT TO USE FEAR TO KEEP SOMEONE FROM GETTING THE VACCINE.
The news is certainly filled with stories of people who have not had any reactions.
The goal is simply to provide information so that people can make an informed decision that they feel is best for them. The risk/benefit ratio will be different for everyone. Which is why the choice may be different.
There have been continuing reports of people getting sores in their mouth after the vaccine.
See NY Times article HERE
Moore told the Times that officials “seem to have abandoned science completely now and are just trying to guess their way out of a mess.”

Unfortunately, you may be on your own in paying for your medical bills. (You can see above from the post by Yarah Dalmu)
Again, If you have to assume the risk, then you should have a choice.
“It’s disturbing that they could throw out so many of these so quickly,” said Meyers, who believes most of those new cases were likely COVID-19 claims.”
But experts specializing in vaccine law say it is difficult to navigate. “This government compensation program is very hard to use,” said Reiss. “The bar for compensation is very high.”
Here’s a look at Pfizers past record:
And Johnson & Johnson’s:
Keep in mind Yarah’s story above of how her dad died after being a J & J participant – and J & J took no responsibility.
From Drugwatch, click HERE and scroll to the end of the article to review a multitude of court cases J & J has been involved with.
“J&J has faced hundreds of thousands of lawsuits over claims its products are defective.”
“Lawsuits point to internal documents showing J&J and its subsidiaries knew about problems with their products but sold them anyway.”
“In addition to individual product liability lawsuits, individual states who say Johnson & Johnson helped fuel the opioid crisis are suing the company for millions of dollars.“
Dr. Doshi is an associate professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and associate editor at The BMJ.
“A rough estimate of vaccine efficacy against developing covid-19 symptoms, with or without a positive PCR test result, would be a relative risk reduction of 19% (see footnote)—far below the 50% effectiveness threshold for authorization set by regulators.”
Dr. Doshi also noted in a NY Times article:
“The vaccines are not risk free. Most side effects appear to be mild and short lived, but not all. For example, with the Moderna vaccine, the frequency of grade 3 adverse events — those severe enough to prevent daily activity, is higher than it is for most vaccines: 17.4 percent, or nearly one in five 18-to-64-year-olds who received the vaccine in the company’s trial. (Grade 3 adverse events appear to occur less frequently with the Pfizer vaccine, but a direct comparison is not possible.) And there have been some serious allergic reactions. It’s reasonable for people to weigh all of this in making their decisions.”
Several years back, I wrote a blog post that contained a link to a WHO (World Health Organization) presentation. This photo was part of that presentation (minus my highlights):
When you look at a driving force behind the making of vaccines, and the potential number of vaccines (Currently there are 69 doses on the CDC schedule for children), and The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service has been in the works to start an Adult schedule (click here), I think mandates become a problem.
It’s a great market to be in when everyone is mandated to take your product and you do not have to be held liable for any injuries. It is understandable why it might become an “engine”.
I am not suggesting here that drug companies don’t have a legitimate motive to make drugs that may help people. But what I am suggesting is that one cannot ignore the financial incentive. These are for-profit companies and they are in business to make money.
Please take a moment to review where we may be headed.
How many of the 120 new vaccine products might become mandated? How many will be on the new “Adult Schedule”?
This is the current chilhood vaccine schedule. How many more will be added to this? How many might be too many?
compared to:
2017: 50 doses of 14 vaccines by age 6
and
1983: 24 doses of 7 vaccines by age 18
2017: 69 doses of 16 vaccines by age 18
A recent article shares the profits from a Covid vaccine:
In 2018 the pharmaceutical industry spent almost $400 million lobbying congress. It is been stated that “Everybody takes money from Phrma, so they are all corrupted, that is why it is almost impossible to get anything done on Capitol Hill.” That may be why members of congress say that they have faced pressure, been bullied or threatened when they have tried to raise vaccine safety issue. (See video here.)
Pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued for any liability from their products. We do know that vaccines can cause harm in some people. That is why the government has paid out over $4 billion dollars though the National Vaccine Injury Compensation program.
Will we get to the point where we cannot travel unless we all have “Vaccine Passport” showing we have whatever vaccine someone said we had to have? How many vaccines could that ultimately end up being? And shouldn’t people who have already Covid-19 be allowed to travel without a vaccine? Natural immunity has always been the gold standard for protection. Why would that change?
You can read all about it here – just click on each picture.
Is this indicative of what will happen worldwide?: In Israel, people who prove they’ve been vaccinated with a “green pass” app can get access to restaurants, gyms, hotels, theaters and concerts that remain off-limits to the unvaccinated.
Some believe that mandatory vaccines are needed for the “greater good” for society. I would like to put forth the premise that TRUST is the greater good. If the goal is to build a public health policy that people believe in, across-the-board mandates, fueled by an industry where profit drives production, are probably not the best way to gain public trust.
Distrust has been growing for some time now for a variety of reasons. Right now, people have little faith in public policies because they do not believe what they are being told.
I believe that people just want honest unbiased information and have the ability to choose which vaccines they feel are appropriate for them. I can also tell you after 25 years of covering this, censorship of information is at an all-time high. I say that not in some conspiratorial sense, but just from my own experience on trying to find information that was once readily available. And sometimes the information may still be there, but sites like Facebook and Instagram “bury it” so that it becomes almost impossible to find.
When ONLY one side of an issue is allowed to be heard, and when that side has the power to literally silence and lock out other voices by that power by delegitimizing other’s concerns, and refusing to engage in rigorous debate, we have a serious breech in trust that will only continue to wear down the walls of trust.
The greater good in society is reflected in the laws that build a foundation of trust. Trust comes when people know that there is transparency in information, their concerns are being heard, and knowing they have a seat at the table.
If a person has to be forced to do something that, given their medical history, might hurt them, or that goes against their first amendment protected religious convictions (Click HERE for concerns with the J & J vaccine and the use of aborted babies), in order to keep their job, go to school or move about in society, it will only breed a corrosive distrust and civil unrest.
Trust can be gained through robust education that allows for full informed consent, vigorous civil discourse and debate within the public square.
Forced vaccination will only damage public confidence across the board.
The goal is a safe, pro-informed consent vaccine policy, which upholds constitutional freedoms.

Something that seems a bit perplexing is why the FDA would authorize a brand new mRNA technology for emergency use – something never used before in humans – and to be given to a worldwide population – and yet not authorize the use of other long-standing drugs.
From the FDA website:
“FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are NO adequate, approved, and available alternatives.”
There are well-respected and well-published physicians who have been trying diligently to bring awareness to the public of long established drugs that could be used for the successful treatment of Covid.
However, you will hear in Dr. McCullough’s testimony (here) that they have been “blocked” because once it was decided in May 2020 that a vaccine might be amendable for Covid, there was a silencing of information on treatment. All efforts on treatments were dropped.
How many deaths might have been avoided if these treatments had been allowed to be used? Were they blocked so that emergency authorization could be established?
As Dr. McCullough states, “What has gone on is beyond belief.”
Please consider taking the time to watch these videos. They contain critically important information that would be helpful for everyone to hear in the event that they contract Covid. Even if you have been vaccinated, you will want to listen in. As noted above, fully vaccinated people are still coming down with Covid, and dying.
Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at Texas A & M University School of Medicine, and has been intricately involved in the response to Covid-19. He has published more papers than anyone else in the world, in his field of study.

The above picture was taken less than 48 hours after I received the phone call from the Nairobi embassy letting me know of Kyle’s passing, and after viewing the many headlines:
I had flown to Colorado as soon as I was able. The morning after I arrived, Kyle and Hope’s home was filled with kids running to and fro. Hope had invited some former foster kids and their mother over, in addition to some close friends and their children.
Here, I am looking around at all the activity and the Legos all over the floor, my eyes swollen from crying, and my heart in pieces. I was thinking how Kyle would love all the activity – knowing life was still being lived, and how he would appreciate the outpouring of love and support – from flowers to food – by so many faithful friends.
In the early days after a death, you are forced to keep moving due to everything that needs to get done. But there comes a time when all that activity is over. Life pauses.
This podcast does not specifically focus on life after losing a loved one – that is just where I happened to be when I reached out to Donna.
But at different moments in life – you can find yourself stuck – in any number of areas – for any number of reasons. Obviously being stuck in weight loss, exercise, or finances does not compare to losing a loved one, however there are still some common steps to moving forward.
In this podcast, Donna and I discuss some of those steps.
Remember: Give yourself the freedom to give yourself the time, to take the small steps, that ultimately help you to start moving again.
