CDC just verified Trumpian claim “Cure is worse than COVID itself”?

by Marc Ang

Based on the CDC’s latest data update into Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), there are 79,844 total incidents out of 329,021 cases. That is over a 24 percent chance incident rate. Yes, there are overlaps, but this is no small number, overall.

From Health Impact News, “[r]ecorded deaths following the experimental COVID-19 injections soared this week as the CDC added more data yesterday into the [VAERS], a U.S. Government funded database that tracks injuries and deaths caused by vaccines. While the information contained in VAERS is publicly available information, the corporate media continues to censor it, and anyone who dares to publish publicly available information from the U.S. Government is labeled as “fake news” by the “fact checkers.”The data released, June 11, 2021, lists 5,888 deaths among 329,021 cases of injuries following COVID-19 shots. There are also another 5,884 life-threatening cases, 43,892 ER visits, 4,583 permanent disabilities, and 19,597 hospitalizations.”

Last night, NPR released a piece to explain away this update as “conspiracy theorist” nonsense. Amazing how slanted this article is, and how they desperately want to explain away truth and common sense. And paint those who share the truth to be crazy conspiracy theorists, with no real data to back up such character assassinations. Why have a database to report concerns or possible issues and then not investigate? The entire premise that the information is invalid is based on the Ostrich head in the sand approach the government takes towards its own “reporting system.”

When the CDC announced that Americans can resume pre-pandemic activities without a mask when fully vaccinated, President Joe Biden praised the Corona virus vaccine campaign and proclaimed “It is a great day in America.” At a press event in West Virginia, First Lady Jill Biden mingled with actress Jennifer Garner and engaged in chat with various reporters and officials – all maskless.  When asked what this meant for his area’s residents, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin said, “It means get vaccinated.  We feel free!”

Well, here’s a report from California, one of the six states that is not yet free, with the Governor flip flopping on the extent of restrictions. Officials here in our heavily blue state, where we have been locked down and masked up since March 2020, are taking these new guidelines under careful consideration before lifting any sort of restrictions.  For now, we are still fully masked in public indoors (and often outdoors) and urged at every turn to vaccinate.  Even being bribed to vaccinate, with sweepstakes promising lottery-level cash prizes.  As I write this, 36% of the CA population has been fully vaccinated; 52% has received at least one dose.  What about the other half? I personally spent a recent weekend speaking at an anti-vaccine rally at Los Angeles City Hall. Let me tell you why.

I am no stranger to the vaccine issue; I have been working on it for nearly two decades.  When I was in college I worked as a behavioral therapist for autistic children. At this job I became close to many of the families and the community at large.  One thing I noticed immediately was the number of families who insisted to me they had a normal kid one day and an autistic child, presumably for life, the next. They could easily pinpoint the day and the reason for this devastating diagnosis.

My heart truly went out to these kids, all of whom were being raised by educated, well-meaning and loving parents. It was hard enough to deal with this new reality and resulting upheaval in not only their kid’s life, but the entire family’s. Worse was the media and majority of the population, who turned them into conspiracy kooks. How wrong that was, to vilify parents already dealing with the harsh reality of a special needs child, while being shunned by much of their own community for speaking up about why this happened to them. I have never forgotten that.

Of course there was a rise in autism, because that generation’s kids were getting overly drugged and overly vaccinated. A century ago one vaccine was given to children: for smallpox. Today the average child gets vaccines to prevent 14 different diseases, as much as 26 inoculations and up to five at one time. I shared the stage at City Hall with an activist who insisted she had seen children who were given up to 69 shots in their short lifetimes; supposedly all necessary and duly charted.  Polio was eliminated from the western hemisphere by 1991; our kids are still routinely vaccinated for it. Why?

I have been asking myself these questions since I was a college student.  Years later, when I was attending graduate school at Columbia, I posted some thoughts on social media about what I’d personally seen about the dangers of vaccines.  I was shocked at the mob, online and off, who came after me.  Many friends who were committed liberals, previously respectful to my conservative views on any other issue, went crazy.  This issue, apparently, was where they drew the line. This was where I crossed into crackpot fringe territory.

I attribute this backlash to the brainwashing that is taking place in today’s schools.  We now have a generation of young people who are told science is all and to revere it, but they have no idea how to understand it. …

However you want to spin facts and figures, the vast majority of those who died from COVID were elderly and/or suffering from serious underlying conditions.  271 American children have died from COVID, according to the CDC. In 1952 3,145 American kids died during a polio outbreak, while more than 20,000 experienced paralysis.  Their schools were not shut down during the epidemic, and polio was eventually eradicated. What about the 24% increase in ER visits for mental health crisis among kids ages 5-11in 2020 over 2019, per the CDC? We will have to wait a couple of years for true figures to be tallied. The spike in depression and suicide among young people will be staggering.  Is this a case where the cure is worse than the disease?

And yes, by the way, I myself came down with COVID-19 in 2020.  For me, the symptoms were mainly a bad cough and loss of taste and smell. The illness was like recovering from a bad flu.  After a couple online visits with a doctor – telemedicine that was less than helpful — I simply lay in bed for a for a few days, treated myself with rest and lots of Vitamin D outside, and recovered… like the other 98+ percent of Americans who test positive for COVID-19.  No hydroquinone needed!

I hope you’re still with me.  I have my own beliefs about vaccines; I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. Whatever choice a person makes about COVID vaccine, I won’t judge or shun them. However, let me share with you some facts:

∙The vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna are about 95% effective, we are told, in preventing symptomatic illness. Please let me assure you that both companies – all big pharmaceutical companies — paid a great deal of money for these studies. I went through a PhD program, so I know a thing or two about reaching the desired conclusion for studies and statistics. There is manipulation of the data — where researchers can come to a certain conclusion or a particular number. They’ll stretch something a tiny bit, add or take away to the sample size to extrapolate.

∙The injections that all Americans are being urged to take are not FDA-approved; they are experimental products that are being distributed through the “emergency use authorization.” That is a conditional marketing authorization, meaning the product was speedily put out there for use in a public health emergency.  Pfizer’s own EUA (Emergency Used Authorization) that all who take the shot are required to sign says:  The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent COVID-19. There is no FDA-approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19. This is tentative stuff folks, granted in a hurry with no view to long-term safety.

∙So what, exactly, is in these vaccines? Many Catholics, in particular, are concerned because it contains “immortal cells,” meaning those that were taken from an aborted human embryo and cultured in a lab.  Though Pope Francis got the COVID-19 shot, the issues surrounding the role fetal cell lines played in the vaccine’s development remain quite murky.

∙There are numerous documented adverse effects from COVID-19 injections, which include anaphylaxis, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, and other long-term chronic disease. Let’s stop right there. A person took the shot and might be feeling fine right now… but the long-term effects of this vaccine have not been studied. How could they have been in the mad rush to get it out? The vaccines were shoved through the process due to a panic on the part of the citizens.  Most vaccines go through clinical trials for ten years before being offered on the market.

∙Here are some of the less-common reactions people have had to the vaccine: Blindness and deafness.  Infertility issues. Older women in menopause, some for many years, who suddenly spontaneously get their periods again after receiving the COVID vaccine.  Fetal damage. Miscarriages and stillbirth. This is beyond worrisome. We the people are guinea pigs right now. Why don’t we stop focusing on the death count and worry more about the future “living in misery” count?

∙There are no contraindications for getting the vaccine. How many treatments or medications – and I am talking about something as innocuous as taking an Advil – come without contraindications? None!  Yet the virus is approved for pregnant women and young adolescents. This is simply irresponsible. The Utah mom in perfect health, who worked at a plastic surgery practice, who simply dropped dead several days after her second Moderna injection?  I believe if doctors had been a little more careful with contraindications before shooting an experimental drug in her, she might still be alive today.

So… what does the future hold?  Ominously, I believe vaccine passports are on the horizon. At the moment, only New York offers digital proof of vaccination, while the governors of Florida and Texas have banned them entirely.  The federal government says there will be no national vaccine passport… for the moment.  We are skirting dangerous territory. Those of us who have been locked down for a year or more want to travel and mingle freely once again.  Will proof of vaccine – and the shredding of our personal privacy concerning health matters – be the price we pay?

There is a meme making the rounds right now on the internet, a cartoon showing a kindly doctor speaking to a young woman patient.

DOCTOR: I’m sure a bright person like you will be taking the vaccine.

MOM:  Because I’m bright, I will not be taking the vaccine.

When I started in this movement, it was left-leaning. Here I am today, with people of all stripes coming together. There is a universal truth here. The COVID-19 vaccine is not for everyone, for many reasons.  Let’s keep our personal freedoms out of this fight.
