Did Samantha Weinstein die from vaccine turbo cancer?!

Did Canadian actress Samantha Weinstein just die suddenly from turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Samantha Weinstein Died From Vaccine Turbo Cancer!

Right after news broke that Samantha Weinstein died, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the Canadian actress died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects!

So many young people are dying! Not #DiedSuddenly right now, since no one is taking the vaccine anymore, but as a result of what we were told that it will accelerate cancers, auto immune viruses, etc.

La célèbre actrice Samantha Weinstein est décédée d’un cancer à 28ans. Malheureusement, elle était complètement vaccinée. 😭 imaginez si je fais des reportages sur des milliers de célébrités, tous morts qui sont vaccinés, combien il y en a qui ne sont pas célèbres.

Famous actress Samantha Weinstein died of cancer aged 28. Unfortunately, she was fully vaccinated. 😭 imagine if I report on thousands of celebrities, all dead who are vaccinated, how many there are who don’t are not famous.

Was Samantha Weinstein’s cancer a turbo cancer produced by the covid vaccine? The vaxx came out 2 years ago so.. \\ just maybe. Does anyone know her vaxx status? #diedsuddenly

Truth : Samantha Weinstein Did Not Die From Vaccine Turbo Cancer!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Samantha Weinstein Died From Ovarian Cancer

Samantha Weinstein (born Samantha Gail Weinstein on 20 March 1995) died from ovarian cancer at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Canada, at 11:25 AM on 14 May 2023.

The nature and cause of Samantha Weinstein’s death was confirmed by her family, who posted this announcement on her official Instagram account.

Sam died on May 14th at 11:25am surrounded by her loved ones at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto.

After two and a half years of cancer treatment, and a lifetime of jet setting around the world, voicing a plethora of cartoon animals, making music, and knowing more about life than most people ever will, she is off on her next adventure.

Samantha Weinstein is best known for playing the high school student Heather in the 2013 movie, Carrie. She died weeks after getting married to Michael Knutson. Her last Instagram post was on May 1, showing her enjoying her honeymoon with her new husband in Tokyo.

Fact #2 : Samantha Weinstein Had Cancer Before Vaccines Were Approved

Her family stated that Samantha underwent 2.5 years of treatment, which would mean that Samantha Weinstein was likely diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and started receiving treatment around November 2020 – BEFORE the first COVID-19 vaccine was approved in December 2020.

Unless the COVID-19 vaccine has a built-in time machine, there is simply no way for it to go back in time to cause her ovarian cancer!

Fact #3 : Unknown If Samantha Weinstein Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

While people are claiming that Samantha Weinstein was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, she has never publicly revealed her vaccination status.

Therefore, it is currently unknown if Samantha Weinstein was vaccinated against COVID-19. Her family has also not mentioned her vaccination status.

For all we know – she may not even be vaccinated against COVID-19! After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in Canada, and other countries worldwide. In addition, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Samantha Weinstein died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #4 : There Is No Such Thing As Turbo Cancer

There is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and there is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cause, or make cancer go “turbo”.

Even if, hypothetically, Samantha Weinstein was vaccinated with a carcinogenic COVID-19 vaccine (which does not exist), it will take many months and years before she could conceivably develop cancer of any kind.

It is simply not possible for her to develop ovarian cancer right after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Needless to say – no COVID-19 vaccine has been found to cause cancer of any kind.

It is unknown what kind of ovarian cancer Samantha Weinstein was diagnosed with, but the most common type – epithelial carcinoma, can spread to other parts of the body within weeks or months. That’s fast, but the speed of progression has nothing to do with vaccines. That is simply the nature of malignant epithelial carcinoma.

Fact #5 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Why Mislav Kolakušić called WHO terrorist organisation!

Leave a reply

Mislav Kolakusic – a Member of the European Parliament, just called WHO a terrorist organisation!

Find out why Kolakusic called WHO a terrorist organisation, and what the facts really are!

Mislav Kolakusic : WHO Is A Terrorist Organisation!

People are sharing video clips on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok which shows Mislav Kolakusic – a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) calling the WHO (World Health Organisation) a terrorist organisation.

The Gateway Pundit also posted an article on Mislav Kolakusic declaring the WHO as a terrorist organisation, which are being shared by anti-vaccination activists and conspiracy theorists.

The MEP said that while voicing his opposition to an upcoming agreement which would allegedly give WHO the “sole authority to declare pandemics and acquire vaccines and drugs”. Here is a transcript of his video.

I would like to briefly make the people aware of the upcoming danger for humanity.

The World Health Organization wants all countries to sign an agreement on handing over the authority to declare a pandemic, procure vaccines, and drugs.

It will be healthier and safer for humanity to sign an agreement with the Colombian drug cartel. They know all about drugs for sure.

During the COVID pandemic, World Health Organization only told lies. It should be declared a terroristic organization.

They lied. That there is a new and unknown virus, that it is possible to make an effective vaccine, that the vaccine is 82% effective, that is protects against serious illness and deaths. That all of course were foolish and lies.

Today, World Health Organisation is more dangerous for humanity than the World Economic Forum. Thank you.

Truth : Mislav Kolakusic Is Wrong, WHO Is Not Terrorist Organisation

This is yet another example of MISINFORMATION created and spread by politicians and/or conspiracy theorists / anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : It Was Not A Deep Fake Video

First, let me just point out that this is not a deep fake video. Mislav Kolakusic (Mislav Kolakušić) did indeed call for the WHO to be declared a terrorist organisation.

That video came from his official press conference which he posted on his Twitter account on May 22, 2023. It has been viewed by over 1.1 million people to date.

Fact #2 : Mislav Kolakusic Is A Controversial Politician

Mislav Kolakusic was elected as a Croatian independent Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in May 2019. Since then, he has been a controversial politician.

In January 2022, he compared COVID-19 vaccine mandates with capital punishment, claiming that tens of thousands of people died from vaccines citing data from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). In response, the EMA said that the cited EudraVigilance data was a public, self-reporting system (like VAERS) which require investigation to prove a causal link. Even more damning, the EudraVigilance data did not report deaths, contradicting Kolakusic’s claims.

In March 2022, Kolakusic criticised Canada’s response to vaccine mandate protests, saying that Canada now resembled more like a “dictatorship of the worst kind”.

In October 2022, Kolakusic claimed that there was a lack of disclosure of vaccine ingredients, saying, “no one in the world, except maybe 2 or 3 people, knows what it contains”, and called it “the biggest corruption scandal in the history of mankind”. However, we do know what COVID-19 vaccines contain, and there has not been any evidence of any corruption scandal surrounding any COVID-19 vaccine so far.

Fact #3 : No Evidence WHO Lied About COVID-19 / Vaccines

There is no evidence that the WHO lied about the COVID-19 pandemic or the COVID-19 vaccines. The truth is:

SARS-CoV-2 was a new coronavirus when it was discovered in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and
the COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing deaths and hospitalisation.

In fact, the world has reopened up after many people were vaccinated against COVID-19, preventing massive waves of hospitalisations and deaths.

Mislav Kolakusic notably did not offer any evidence that the WHO lied, when he called for it to be labelled as a terrorist organisation.

Fact #4 : WHO Agreement Was Initiated By World Leaders

Mislav Kolakusic’s claims are based on a WHO agreement which started with not with WHO itself, but its member states, which wanted to amend the existing International Health Regulations to strengthen the world’s preparedness against future global pandemics.

The International Health Regulations (IHR) were first adopted by member states in 1969, empowering the WHO to monitor global diseases. Those regulations have since been revised over the years, including in 2005 – after the SARS outbreak.

On 1 December 2021, world leaders agreed to kickstart the process to draft and negotiate an agreement or convention to “strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response“.

Fact #5 : Recommendations Came From WHO Member States

The proposed recommendations came from WHO member states, and not WHO itself. Among the more than 200 recommendations on how to better prepare for the next pandemic were:

sharing of data and genomic sequences on emerging viruses
a plan for equitable vaccine distribution
a ban on wildlife markets
incentives for reporting new viruses or variants

Fact #6 : Some Countries Don’t Want A Binding Agreement

The European Union has proposed that the changes be adopted as a new treaty, which would be binding. This is perhaps what Mislav Kolakusic was so agitated about, but this was an EU proposal, not a WHO proposal.

The United States, on the other hand, has opposed a binding treaty. India and Brazil are similarly reluctant about adopting a treaty.

The EU proposed the treaty and is its biggest backer, with support from Britain, Indonesia, Kenya and others.

The United States will take part in the talks but has opposed a binding treaty. India and Brazil have also voiced reservations.

With so many member countries involved, securing agreement is likely to be tricky.

Fact #7 : No Country Is Signing Over Its Sovereignty To WHO

The zero draft (PDF download) of the proposed WHO agreement on preparing for future pandemics even addresses the issue of national sovereignty on Article 4 (3):

3. Sovereignty – States have, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, the sovereign right to determine and manage their approach to public health, notably pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery of health systems, pursuant to their own policies and legislation, provided that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to their peoples and other countries. Sovereignty also covers the rights of States over their biological resources.

Anyone who read the zero draft can clearly see that even the “draft” has clarified that no country is signing over its national sovereignty to the WHO.

Fact #8 : WHO DG Dismissed Sovereignty Claim In May 2022

On May 17, 2022, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus dismissed the claim that countries signing up for this new agreement would be giving up their sovereignty.

The accord process is led by Member States with their own Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (called INB), representing all regions of the world. The INB has now started a two-year process that includes global public hearings with all stakeholders. This represents the world’s opportunity to plan together, detect pathogens quicker, share data broadly and collectively respond more effectively to the next diseases X or known pathogens.

Unfortunately, there has been a small minority of groups making misleading statements and purposefully distorting facts.

I want to be crystal clear. WHO’s agenda is public, open and transparent. WHO stands strongly for individual rights. We passionately support everyone’s right to health and we will do everything we can to ensure that that right is realized.

The first ever World Health Assembly, which took place soon after the WHO Constitution entered into force in 1948, was a watershed event in global public health. And like the proposed pandemic preparedness accord, this did not mean WHO usurped nations’ sovereignty; in fact it strengthened countries’ ability to fight diseases together.

WHO is an expression of Member States’ own sovereignty and WHO is entirely what the sovereign 194 Member States want WHO to be.

Every year, these sovereign governments come together at the World Health Assembly to set the health agenda for the world. Individually we can’t beat pandemics; our best chance is together.

Did US Intentionally Release COVID Virus In Wuhan?!

Leave a reply

Did the US government intentionally release the COVID-19 virus in Wuhan, to trigger a global pandemic so that people will accept vaccines?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : US Intentionally Released COVID Virus In Wuhan!

People are sharing an article by The Standard newspaper in Hong Kong, in which David Martin claimed that the US government intentionally released the COVID-19 virus in Wuhan, to trigger a global pandemic so that people will accept vaccines!

The article is being shared not only by anti-vaccination activists and conspiracy theorists, but also pro-CCP netizens and the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) as “evidence” that the COVID-19 pandemic was caused by the United States, and not China.

Here is an excerpt from the article. It’s long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

US ‘intentionally released Covid virus in Wuhan’ EU summit told

The Covid-19 coronavirus was “intentionally released” by the United States in Wuhan, China, with the target to trigger a global pandemic to raise public acceptance of vaccines, a US businessman specializing in patent auditing said.

David Martin, the founding chairman of M Cam asset management company, said at an International Covid Summit organized by the European Parliament in Brussels earlier this month that the US was responsible for the making of both coronaviruses causing the outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome – or SARS – in 2003 and the Covid-19 pandemic in the past three years.

The third edition of the summit featured speakers from anti-lockdown advocates to medical academia to discuss the global pandemic response. The speakers shed light on the possibility that the coronavirus which caused the pandemic was man-made, instead of naturally occurring.

In his speech, Martin said: “The pandemic that we alleged to have happened in the last few years did not happen overnight. In fact, the very specific pandemic using the coronavirus began at a different time.”

He said that in 1965, scientists discovered the coronavirus as a model of a pathogen – an agent that causes disease. They also found out that coronaviruses can be modified.

“Later we started learning how to modify a coronavirus by putting them in animals such as dogs and pigs,” Martin said, adding that such a practice became the basis for US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer’s first coronavirus spike protein vaccine in 1990.

But very soon the medical sector and drug makers found out that the vaccines did not work.

“Because the coronavirus is a malleable model, it mutates,” Martin said. “Every medical publication concluded that coronaviruses escape vaccines because it modifies and mutates too rapidly for a vaccine to be developed.”

In 2002, a university in North Carolina initiated a study to develop an “infectious replication defective,” which Martin interpreted as “a weapon to target individuals, but not have collateral damage.”

Characterizing the project as having “mysteriously preceded SARS by a year,” Martin said the coronavirus that caused the highly deadly infection was not from China and that it was “engineered” instead of naturally occurring.

On Covid-19, Martin said the coronavirus – named as SARS-CoV-2 by the World Health Organization – was poised for human emergence in 2016, with a preview about an “accidental or intentional release of a respiratory coronavirus” from a laboratory in Wuhan.

He said the purpose of the coronavirus “release” was to boost global acceptance on universal vaccination.

Explaining the common concern among the medical industry, Martin said: “Until an infectious crisis is very real, present and at the emergency threshold, it is often largely ignored.

“To sustain the funding base beyond the crisis, we need to increase the public understanding of the need for medical countermeasures, such as the pan-influenza, or pan-coronavirus, vaccine. A key drive is the media and the economics will follow the hype.

“We [pharmaceutical firms] need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issue. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of the process,” he said.

Truth : US Did Not Release COVID-19 Virus In Wuhan!

This appears to be yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on WhatsApp and social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter, and here are the reasons why!

Fact #1 : International COVID Summit III Was Not Organised By EU Parliament

The article wrongly states that the International COVID Summit III was organised by the European Parliament.

As I explained in my previous article, the International COVID Summit III was not an official EU Parliament event. It appears to be a private conference organised by COVID-19 conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccination activists.

Held in the Anna Lindh room of the European Parliament, it was not an official EU or European Parliament event, and only 5 MEPs attended as “co-hosting members” of the event.

In other words – the speakers at this event was only “testifying” to the few attendees in the room, and to the event’s livestream, not to the European Parliament.

You can read all about the ICS3 in my earlier article, Why International COVID Summit III Criticised Vaccine!

Fact #2 : This Was The First International COVID Summit

The article also wrongly called it the “third edition of the summit”. The first International COVID Summit, and International COVID Summit 2 do not appear to exist!

What actually existed were the Global COVID-19 Summit, and the 2nd Global COVID-19 Summit, but they are both completely unrelated to this International COVID Summit III. Those were official events involving heads of states and governments, as well as heads of international organisations, NGOs, and industries across the world.

So why would this International COVID Summit jump to its “third” iteration, when this was really the first time it was held? Could it be trying to mislead people into thinking that it was the third version of the Global COVID-19 Summit?!

Fact #3 : Coronavirus Was First Isolated In 1930s

David Martin said that the first coronavirus as a model of a pathogen was isolated in 1965. Well, I have no idea what he meant by “as a model of a pathogen”, but that’s wrong on several counts.

first coronavirus sample (IBV) was isolated in 1930s
second coronavirus sample (MHV) was isolated in 1947
third coronavirus sample (B814) was isolated in 1961
fourth coronavirus sample (229-E) was isolated in 1966
all four virus samples were determined to be from same group, and named “coronavirus” in 1967

You can read more about this in my earlier article – Did US + UK Create COVID-19 As Bioweapon?!

Fact #4 : Vaccines Work Even When Virus Mutates

All viruses can mutate when they replicate, just like how all animals evolve through reproduction. Just because a virus mutates does not mean that vaccines stop working.

Vaccines are training programs that teach our immune system how to identify the actual virus, and make its own antibodies against it. It’s like training your army by showing them how the enemy soldiers look like and behave, so they can train and prepare for war.

The vaccines do not stay in your body to fight the COVID-19 virus. They only teach your immune system how to do that, and they do that regardless of whether the virus has mutated or not.

As viruses evolve, they may get better at evading the antibodies that your immune system developed to defeat them. But that doesn’t mean they are immune. The antibodies may not be as effective, but they will still offer some protection, reducing the risk of severe disease and death.

This isn’t just theory. During the pandemic, the first vaccines only targeted the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. But it continued to offer robust protection against the Beta, Delta, and Omicron variants that came after.

Fact #5 : No Evidence US Released COVID-19 Virus In Wuhan

Claims that the US released the COVID-19 in Wuhan to create the pandemic has been circulating since 2020, but until today – there has been ZERO EVIDENCE of that.

Pro-CCP netizens and the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) accused US soldiers like Maatje Benassi of spreading the COVID-19 virus while participating in the 2019 Military World Games. They even spread a fake video (see below), claiming to show an American soldier spreading the COVID-19 virus in a subway in Wuhan.

However, all of those claims have long been proven to be completely false. More importantly, David Martin himself did not offer any actual evidence that the US released the COVID-19 virus, intentionally or otherwise, in Wuhan.

Fact #6 : Most COVID-19 Vaccines Developed By Foreign Companies

The claim that the US government would create a pandemic to drive demand for vaccines is ludicrous. For one thing – big pharmaceutical companies are public-listed companies, and many are based outside of the United States.

More importantly – most COVID-19 vaccines were developed by foreign companies:

Only the Moderna Spikevax vaccine was developed in the United States
The Pfizer COMIRNATY vaccine was developed by German company, BioNTech
The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine was developed by Oxford University, and AstraZeneca is a UK company.
The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine was developed by Janssen Vaccines in the Netherlands.
The Sinovac, Sinopharm, CanSino COVID-19 vaccines were developed in China.

So the conspiracy theory that the United States created the COVID-19 pandemic for profit is absurd…

Fact #7 : Vaccines Are Cheaper Than Cures

I should also point out that prevention is always better and CHEAPER than the cure. Vaccines may seem expensive, and a way for Big Pharma to make billions of dollars. But vaccines are still better and CHEAPER than the cures.

Vaccines prevent you from developing severe COVID-19, thus negating your need to be hospitalised – which is expensive. Sure, Big Pharma now has drugs to treat COVID-19, like PAXLOVID, but they are much more expensive.

When it comes to dollars and common sense, vaccines are cheaper and better because they prevent hospitalisation. Big Pharma would make far more money selling you everything from expensive new drugs like PAXLOVID, or machines and drugs to keep you alive in the ICU!

Are COVID-19 Vaccines Still One Giant Experiment?!

Leave a reply

Are COVID-19 vaccines still one giant experiment?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : COVID-19 Vaccines Are Still One Giant Experiment!

Anti-vaccination activists are excitedly sharing screenshots of an article by Katherine J. Wu from The Atlantic magazine, claiming that it proves that COVID-19 vaccines are still “one giant experiment”!

💥BREAKING: The Atlantic recognizes reality. WOW. Hell must have frozen over. “The Atlantic” published this by a staff writer.

“Covid shots are still one giant experiment”

We’re finally allowed to call the experiment an experiment. We were called so nasty names for two years for sharing this truth. It’s now mainstream.

“COVID Shots Are Still One Giant Experiment”

Injecting billions of people with a new technology never before administered to humans with zero long term safety data is exactly a GIANT EXPERIMENT!!

Truth : COVID-19 Vaccines Are Not Still One Giant Experiment!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Claims Are Based On Article From The Atlantic

First, let me provide some context on what’s going on.

These claims are based on a recent article (behind a paywall) by Katherine J. Wu, writing for The Atlantic magazine, in which she wrote about efforts to decide on this year’s COVID-19 vaccination strategy.

Unfortunately, the article is long and behind a paywall, so you cannot read it for yourself, unless you subscribe to The Atlantic magazine. But in this fact check article, I will share with you the pertinent parts of the article to show you why the claims are false.

Fact #2 : The Atlantic Changed Its Title Twice!

Anti-vaccination activists are sharing screenshots of the article, but not the actual link to the article itself because its title was changed not once, but twice!

According to archive.today, the original title on 26 May 2023 was uncontroversial – “What Should Go Into This Year’s COVID Vaccine?”

But that innocuous title probably didn’t gain much traction, so about 1.5 hours later, the title was changed to the controversial “COVID Shots Are Still One Giant Experiment“. That was when the article finally went viral.

When the controversy over its title blew up on social media, The Atlantic changed the article’s title six hours later to “Fall’s COVID Shots May Be Different in One Key Way“.

Fact #3 : Article Did Not Mention Experiment Even Once!

I should point out that while the article was written by Katherine J. Wu, the title was likely decided by the editor(s) at The Atlantic. That’s probably why the title was changed to the controversial “COVID Shots Are Still One Giant Experiment” even though the word “experiment” or “experimental” was never mentioned, not even once in her entire article.

One of the consideration editors have when creating a title is whether it is attractive and can gain traction… and whether it can improve the SEO of the article.

It is likely the editor(s) at The Atlantic decided to “amp up” the title to improve its SEO, and/or make it more clickbaity / share-worthy, so it would go viral. If that was the reason for the first title change, then the editor(s) sure did a great job!

Fact #4 : Article Never Said COVID-19 Vaccines Are Experimental

If you read the entirety of Katherine J. Wu’s article, you will realise that it never once said or even suggested that COVID-19 vaccines are still experimental.

Her article was about work being done to create the next COVID-19 vaccine formula that the US FDA is scheduled to decide next month. Would it continue with the current bivalent vaccine strategy targeting the ancestral and Omicron variants, or should it switch to targeting XBB.1 variant alone?

This fall, millions of Americans might be lining up for yet another kind of COVID vaccine: their first-ever dose that lacks the strain that ignited the pandemic more than three and a half years ago. Unlike the current, bivalent vaccine, which guards against two variants at once, the next one could, like the first version of the shot, have only one main ingredient—the spike protein of the XBB.1 lineage of the Omicron variant, the globe’s current dominant clade.

That plan isn’t yet set. The FDA still has to convene a panel of experts, then is expected to make a final call on autumn’s recipe next month. But several experts told me they hope the agency follows the recent recommendation of a World Health Organization advisory group and focuses the next vaccine only on the strains now circulating.

The switch in strategy—from two variants to one, from original SARS-CoV-2 plus Omicron to XBB.1 alone—would be momentous but wise, experts told me, reflecting the world’s updated understanding of the virus’s evolution and the immune system’s quirks

To be clear – COVID-19 vaccines underwent and passed large trials before they received their Emergency Use Authorisations, and many subsequently received full approval after months of monitoring. Those vaccine cease to be experimental once they receive either an EUA or a full approval.

Fact #5 : Scientists Need To Predict Virus Evolution

The SARS-CoV-2 virus evolves rapidly, with every infection presenting an opportunity for it to evolve further into new variants.

While mRNA technology has helped to speed up vaccine development, it still takes time to develop improved vaccines to tackle these new variants. So scientists need to predict the virus’ evolution, to decide on the next vaccine.

Will SARS-CoV-2 evolution continue mainly through the XBB.1 variant, or will a new Alpha or Delta variant gain supremacy? That is the question scientists need to answer in order to develop the next COVID-19 vaccine.

If the next vaccine is based on the XBB.1 variant, it will offer good protection even against subsequent sub variant of XBB.1. But if a new Delta sub-variant suddenly becomes far more common, then the XBB.1 optimised vaccine may not offer quite as much protection.

Fact #6 : Article Says Vaccines Are Essential

What anti-vaccination activists notably do not point out is that the article specifically pointed out that “it’s long been clear that vaccines are essential for preventing severe disease and death“, and that regular boosting is probably necessary to maintain their effectiveness.

By now, it’s long been clear that vaccines are essential for preventing severe disease and death, and that some cadence of boosting is probably necessary to keep the shots’ effectiveness high.

The article does not, ever, claim that COVID-19 vaccines are “still one giant experiment”. Instead, it says that these vaccines are essential, and we will need some regular boosting to maintain its effectiveness against new variants.

Tina Turner Dead at 83 a fit Lady almost probably took the jab and died 10 yrs early due to her life fitness and excellent health.

No Evidence Tina Turner Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Tina Turner Died After A Long Illness

According to her representative, Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock on 26 November 1939) died peacefully after a long illness at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland on 24 May 2023.

She did not “die suddenly”, as many are claiming on social media.

Fact #2 : Tina Turner Has Been In Poor Health For Many Years

Tina Turner’s official cause of death is currently unknown. However, she has been in poor health for many years.

In 2013, she suffered a stroke three weeks after her wedding to Erwin Bach, and had to learn to walk again. In 2016, she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer, which she battled for the rest of her life.

Tina Turner also suffered from high blood pressure, but opted to use homeopathic remedies. Eventually, her kidneys were damaged by hypertension, ending in kidney failure. She considered assisted suicide, but her husband donated his kidney to her. She underwent kidney transplant on April 7, 2017.

Until and unless her representative or family publicly reveal her cause of death, anyone who tells you that Tina Turner died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Tina Turner Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

While people are claiming that Tina Turner was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, and some even claiming that she received four shots, she has never publicly revealed her vaccination status.

Therefore, it is currently unknown if Tina Turner was vaccinated against COVID-19. Her family has also not mentioned his vaccination status.

For all we know – she may not even be vaccinated against COVID-19! After all, she chose to go with alternative medicine to treat her hypertension.

In addition, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in Switzerland, and other countries worldwide. Many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Tina Turner died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Tina Turner was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it does not mean she died from the COVID-19 vaccine, as she would have received her doses many months ago!

She cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Fact #5 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Did Ray Stevenson die suddenly from vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did Rome and Thor actor Ray Stevenson die from COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Ray Stevenson Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Ray Stevenson died after being hospitalised, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the Irish actor died from COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Ray Stevenson just died yesterday at the age of 58. Clean bill of health, but just dropped dead yesterday for no apparent reason, cause of death has not yet been disclosed which is normally the case of Vaccine related deaths.

RIP Ray Stevenson
A real shocker – a big man in every sense of the word, his career in full flow no indications of any illness! Taken ill while working – all in the era of covid vaccines

One of my favorite actors, Ray Stevenson, has died. A gentle giant, he will be sorely missed.

Sudden illness? Again. The jab took another good person.

No Evidence Ray Stevenson Died From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Ray Stevenson Died While Filming In Italy

Ray Stevenson (born George Raymond Stevenson on 25 May 1964) was an Irish actor who starred in King Arthur, the Thor movies, as well as the HBO series, Rome, and the Star Wars series, Ahsoka.

According to Italian newspaper, La Repubblica, Ray Stevenson was filming Cassino in Ischia in Italy, when he suffered “a sudden illness that required hospitalisation” on Saturday afternoon, 20 May 2023.

His condition was “very serious” when he was hospitalised, and worsened the next day, and he died on Sunday morning, 21 May 2023 – four days before his 59th birthday.

Ray Stevenson is survived by his wife, Italian anthropologist Elisabetta Caraccia, and their three sons.

Fact #2 : Ray Stevenson’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown

Ray Stevenson’s cause of death is currently unknown. Neither his representative, nor his family, have publicly announced his cause of death.

Ray Stevenson could have died suddenly from any number of reasons – a heart attack or a stroke, for example, which could hypothetically explain his hospitalisation before his death.

Until and unless his representative, family, or the Italian authorities, publicly reveal his cause of death, anyone who tells you that Ray Stevenson died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Ray Stevenson Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Ray Stevenson did not publicly mention his COVID-19 vaccination status, so it is currently unknown if he was vaccinated against COVID-19. His family has also not mentioned his vaccination status.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated against COVID-19! After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United Kingdom. Many people who died suddenly were found to be unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Ray Stevenson died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Ray Stevenson was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it does not mean he died from the COVID-19 vaccine, as he would have received his doses many months ago!

He cannot possibly be suffering from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Did Dr. Rashid Buttar die suddenly from vax shedding?!

Leave a reply

Did Dr. Rashid Buttar – one of the infamous Disinformation Dozen – just die suddenly from vaccine shedding?!

Claim : Dr. Rashid Buttar Died Suddenly From Vaccine Shedding!

COVID-19 conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccination activists are upset that Dr. Rashid Buttar died suddenly, even though he was completely unvaccinated against the coronavirus!

As one of the infamous Disinformation Dozen, Rashid Buttar helped to spread a lot of misinformation about COVID-19, and the COVID-19 vaccines. The group is said to be responsible for producing “up to 65% of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms“.

The news was confirmed by other members of the Disinformation Dozen, with Sayer Ji – founder of Green Med Co, being amongst the first to confirm that Rashid Buttar passed away on Thursday, May 18, 2023.

Dr. Rashid Buttar’s sudden death apparently stunned many conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccination activists, because he was definitely not vaccinated. It seemed impossible to these people that unvaccinated people would ever “die suddenly”.

So how exactly did Dr. Rashid Buttar die suddenly, despite avoiding mRNA vaccines? Officially, his family has not spoken up, or revealed his cause of death. Perhaps an autopsy will be performed, and the official cause of death announced to lay all rumours to rest, as Died Suddenly activists have often demanded.

Interestingly, it appears that Dr. Rashid Buttar recently suffered both a stroke and myocarditis, and had to be admitted to the ICU for 6 days!

Stroke and myocarditis – the two common causes of death and morbidity antivaxxers blame on COVID-19 vaccines… but Dr. Rashid Buttar was never vaccinated against COVID-19, so how is that possible?

According to Sayer Ji, Dr. Buttar blamed “vaccine shedding” for his stroke and myocarditis – vaccine spike proteins released by vaccinated individuals entering his body to poison him! Wow!

For the record, Rashid reached out to me on Feb. 18th, and explained that only a few weeks before, he was in the ICU for 6 days, with a diagnosis of both stroke and myocarditis, with symptoms and biomarkers consistent with adverse effects from the mRNA jabs (which he did not have).

As you will see in the video, he believed that he was experiencing the result of shedding (aka, “self-amplifying” properties) from the transgenic mRNA jabs.

Truth : Dr. Rashid Buttar Did Not Die From Vaccine Shedding!

The truth is – we still don’t know exactly how and what Dr. Rashid Buttar died. He was in intensive care for six days, but that was in January, after experiencing significant limb swelling and shortness of breath. Did he have heart failure too, or was he suffering from COVID-19? We don’t know.

He was admitted to the hospital on January 18, 2023, weighing 260 pounds (118 kg). By the time he was discharged, he only weighed 180 pounds (81.6 kg).

He did not reveal what caused his myocarditis or stroke, but considering the fact that he was never vaccinated, it was possible that he could have developed viral myocarditis and stroke after a COVID-19 infection. Studies have shown that the risk of developing myocarditis and stroke is much, much higher with a single COVID-19 infection than it is with any COVID-19 vaccine! But again – this is mere speculation.

What we know for sure is that his death had nothing to do with vaccine shedding (or viral shedding), as Dr. Rashid Bullar himself suggested prior to his death.

Vaccine / viral shedding is only possible with live, attenuated virus vaccines, which use a weakened form of the virus which can “multiply” and “shed” inside and outside the body.

Vaccine / viral shedding is not possible with current COVID-19 vaccines, because none of them use live, attenuated SARS-CoV-2 viruses! So it is simply impossible for any COVID-19 vaccine currently approved to shed viruses or spike proteins.

Dr. Rashid Buttar : A Controversial Career

Born in London on January 20, 1966 to Pakistani parents, Rashid Ali Buttar emigrated to the US when he was 9, and eventually became a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. After that, he found himself in many controversial circumstances.

In 2007, Rashid Buttar was brought before the North Carolina Board of Medical Examiners, accused of unprofessional conduct while treating four cancer patients, three of whom died. The panel would recommend that his licence be suspended indefinitely, and that he be prohibited from treating children or patients with cancer, but ultimately stayed that decision.

In 2010, the FDA warned Rashid Buttar about illegally marketing unapproved topical creams. FDA inspections also revealed that his company, V-SAB Medical Labs, did not comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and its products were adulterated.

In 2011, the Hawaii Medical Board denied Rashid Buttar a medical licence.

In 2019, the North Carolina Medical Board disciplined Rashid Buttar after receiving two complaints – his treatment of a cancer patient increased the patient’s pain and suffering, and his “personal relationship with the parent of a young patient” violated boundary.

In March 2021, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) listed Dr. Rashid Buttar as part of the Disinformation Dozen – 12 individuals or organisations responsible for up to 65% of anti-vaccine content on major social media sites.

Dr. Rashid Buttar is survived by his three children, Sara (30), Abie (24), and Rohan (18). Our deepest condolences to his family.

Did CDC Quietly Recall Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine?!

Leave a reply

Did the US CDC just quietly recall the Johnson & Johnson Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, because it caused too many deaths and injuries?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : CDC Just Quietly Recalled Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine!

People are claiming that the US CDC just quietly recalled the Johnson & Johnson Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, because it caused too many deaths and injuries!

Died Suddenly : The checks have been cashed and the mission has been accomplished. They think they can begin to quietly roll back and that we will just forget.

Millions are injured, and millions are dead or dying slowly. Never forget what they have done.

Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis : COVID Vaccine pulled from US – No CDC comment.

Andrew Bridgen : Just like the AstraZeneca vaccine, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine has been quietly withdrawn and stocks destroyed. Both of these products were actually a strand of DNA and used an Adenovirus vector to enter the cells. Where are the national media headlines?…

TaraBull : Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has been pulled from the U.S. amid health concerns. Should Pfizer be next?

Truth : CDC Did Not Recall Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine Use Limited In May 2022

The Janssen COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson received an Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) from the FDA on February 27, 2021.

However, the FDA later limited its use on 5 May 2022, because it was shown to introduce a small risk of developing thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) – the same problem affecting the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Fact #2 : Pfizer + Moderna Introduced Bivalent Vaccines In 2022

Thanks to evolutionary pressures, these variants and subvariants have evolved to evade the protections offered by both vaccines and natural immunity from a prior infection.

To combat these new variants, Pfizer and Moderna developed bivalent mRNA vaccines, which target both the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as the newer and much more infectious Omicron variant.

Pfizer and Moderna announced, on 25 June and 8 June respectively, that they successfully tested their bivalent COVID-19 vaccines. With the introduction of bivalent vaccines, there really isn’t any use for older monovalent vaccines like the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #3 : US CDC Did Not Recall Janssen COVID-19 Vaccines

Just to be clear – the US CDC did not recall the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson.

The US CDC only updated its Janssen COVID-19 vaccine information page on May 10, 2023 to inform the public that the vaccine is no longer available in the United States.

Claims that the CDC did not mention any reason for this decision are also false. The CDC specifically said that the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is no longer available in the US, because all remaining stock expired on May 7, 2023!

Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine is no longer available in the U.S. All remaining U.S. government stock of Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine expired May 7, 2023. Dispose of any remaining Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Fact #4 : US CDC Recommends Boosting With Bivalent Vaccines

The CDC recommended that those who received one or two doses of the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine should receive one dose of the new bivalent mRNA vaccine from Moderna or Pfizer.

People ages 18 years and older who received 1 or 2 Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine dose are recommended to receive 1 bivalent mRNA dose (Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech) at least 2 months after completion of the previous dose.

Fact #5 : This Is Just COVID-19 Vaccine Fake News!

This is yet another example of fake news created to scare people about the COVID-19 vaccines. Here are other examples you may see circulating on WhatsApp and social media platforms:

Did US + UK Create COVID-19 As Bioweapon?!

Leave a reply

Did the US and UK governments create COVID-19 as part of a coronavirus bioweapon project since 1965?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : US + UK Created COVID-19 As Bioweapon!

People are sharing TikTok, YouTube and Rumble videos of David E. Martin at International COVID Summit III, explaining how the US and UK governments allegedly developed the coronavirus as a bioweapon since discovering it in 1965.

Some are sharing it as evidence that COVID-19 was created as a bioweapon, while pro-CCP netizens and the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) are sharing it as evidence that the COVID-19 was created by the West, not China!

“This [covid] is an act of biological and chemical warfare perpetrated on the human race” Dr David Martin International Covid Summit, European Parliament:

COVID was First Isolated in 1965. Pfizer’s First Spike Protein Patent was filed in 1990. That’s Also When They Found Out That Vaccines For COVID Can’t Work. – Dr David Martin International COVID Summit III – European Parliament, Brussels 05.04.2023

Folks – listen to this to understand where covid came from.

Finally, we know the true culprit that created and caused the Covid-19 pandemic which killed millions, so who is the evil of the world today…..China or the USA?

Was the COVID-19 coronavirus developed as a bioweapon?!

— Dr. Adrian Wong (@AdrianTechARP) May 22, 2023

No Evidence US + UK Created COVID-19 As Bio-Weapon!

This appears to be yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on WhatsApp and social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter, and here are the reasons why!

Fact #1 : It Was From International COVID Summit III

The viral video clip above is from the International COVID Summit III, which appears to be a private conference organised by COVID-19 conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccination activists:

Held in the Anna Lindh room of the European Parliament, it was not an official EU or European Parliament event, and had only 5 MEPs attend as “co-hosting members” of the event.

You can read all about the ICS3 in my earlier article, Why International COVID Summit III Criticised Vaccine!

Fact #2 : Coronavirus Was First Isolated In 1930s

David Martin said that the first coronavirus as a model of a pathogen was isolated in 1965. Well, I have no idea what he meant by “as a model of a pathogen”, but that’s wrong on several counts.

first coronavirus sample (IBV) was isolated in 1930s
second coronavirus sample (MHV) was isolated in 1947
third coronavirus sample (B814) was isolated in 1961
fourth coronavirus sample (229-E) was isolated in 1966
all four virus samples were determined to be from same group, and named “coronavirus” in 1967

The first known sample of a coronavirus was isolated and identified as a virus in 1933. That virus was called infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in 1936, but later renamed as Avian coronavirus.

The second sample of a coronavirus was discovered in 1947. At that time, it was also not known as a coronavirus, but called mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). It would later be renamed as Murine coronavirus.

In 1961, a sample was isolated from a British schoolboy who was suffering from the common cold. That sample, designated as B814, was later confirmed to be a novel (new) virus in 1965. However, it was not called a coronavirus in 1965 either.

In 1966, new samples of a different virus – designated 229-E, were collected from University of Chicago medical students suffering from the common cold. Even then, that virus was not known as a coronavirus.

Fact #3 : Coronavirus Was Identified + Named In 1967

In the video, David Martin appears to say that the “coronavirus was identified in 1965 as one of the first infectious, replicatable viral models that could be used to modify a series of to her experiences of human conditions“.

I have no idea what most of the word salad meant, including the word “replicatable”, but I can tell you that the coronavirus was only identified as a new group of viruses in 1967, not 1965.

Remember the four coronavirus samples that were collected earlier? They were new viruses, but were not known as coronavirus at that time. It was only in 1967 that an electron microscope analysis of those four different viral samples showed that all four viruses belong to the same group.

It was only in 1967, that June Almeida and David Terrell made that discovery, and called the new group of viruses “coronavirus”, based on the characteristic spikes on their surfaces that make them look like the sun’s corona.

Fact #4 : 1967 Experiment Did Not Involve Human Manipulation

In the video, David Martin appears to say that “in 1966, the very first CoV coronavirus model was used as a transatlantic biological experiment in human manipulation“.

He would later repeat this saying “in 1967 – the year I was born, we did the first human trials on inoculating people with modified coronavirus“.

He listed his source as the 1967 study called Effects of a “New” Human Respiratory Virus in Volunteers (PDF download). He may have mixed up his dates a little. In any case, his claim is wrong on multiple levels:

that was the fourth and most recent coronavirus sample – 229-E
the virus was not known to be a coronavirus at that time
the study did not involve human manipulation

What the British scientists did was give the 229-E virus to volunteers to determine :

if it causes colds, and
the serum neutralising antibody when infected with viruses of this type

There was no manipulation and no modification of the 229-E virus sample before it was given to volunteers.

Fact #5 : Biological Weapons Convention Only Began In 1975

In the video, David Martin appears to wonder, “Where were we when we actually allowed, in violation of biological and chemical weapons treaties? Where were we, as a human civilisation, when we thought it was an acceptable thing to do to take a pathogen from the United States and infect the world with it? Where was that conversation and what should have been that conversation in 1967? “.

Well, for one thing – the 1967 experiment happened long before the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) came into effect on 26 March 1975. There was no conversation to be had.

In addition, the BWC does not limit scientific experiments on viruses, so even if it had been in effect, the 1967 experiment on volunteers would not have breached its rules as it was not being developed as a bioweapon! Again, there was no conversation to be had.

Fact #6 : There Are Many Coronavirus Species

The coronavirus family consists of a multitude of different viruses, with completely different characteristics. Think of them as car models – they are all cars, but every model has a different look and different characteristics.

Hence, it is wrong to associate past coronaviruses with the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. Any genetic link has to be determined by its genetic code, not by when a virus was discovered!

By 2020, scientists have discovered at least 45 coronavirus species, which were classified into four different genera – Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Deltacoronavirus, and Gammacoronavirus.

SARS-CoV-2 is a Betacoronavirus that is most closely related to SARS-CoV-1 – the virus that caused the SARS outbreak in 2002-2004. However, it was a novel (new) coronavirus when it was discovered, and was not derived / engineered / developed from SARS-CoV-1.

There is simply no evidence to suggest that SARS-CoV-2 was developed as a bioweapon from the SARS-CoV-1, or any other coronavirus species.

Fact #7 : No Evidence SARS-CoV-2 Was Engineered

What David Martin said at the International COVID Summit sounds startling, but if you analyse his word salad and sources carefully, you will realise that he has not actually offered any evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 was engineered in any way, much less developed as a bioweapon!

It is plausible that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was created in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and accidentally released in a leak of some sort, but that has never proven one way or another. It is just as plausible that it was brought into Wuhan by some yet-to-be-identified animal host.

There is currently no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was engineered and released as a bioweapon.

Why International COVID Summit III Criticised Vaccine!

6 Replies

Find out why the International COVID Summit III held at the European Parliament criticised the COVID-19 vaccines!

International COVID Summit III Is Official EU Parliament Event?!

People are sharing TikTok and Rumble videos of the International COVID Summit III, claiming that it is an official European Parliament conference criticising COVID-19 measures like lockdowns and vaccines!

FLCCC Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Pierre Kory, presents “The Global War on Ivermectin” to the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium on day one of the International COVID Summit III.

International Covid Summit III – part 1 – European Parliament, Brussels 05.03.2023
International Covid Summit III – part 2 – European Parliament, Brussels 05.03.2023

EU Parliament COVID Conference Slams Pandemic Response

Speakers did not rule out the possibility that the pandemic was orchestrated by powerful outside actors, with various medical professionals from across Europe describing their first-hand experiences of negative health effects from vaccines.

International COVID Summit III : What Is That Really?!

Don’t be surprised if you never heard of the International COVID Summit III, especially when it’s been labelled as an official conference organised by the European Parliament!

Even I never heard of it, but after doing some research, this was what I discovered…

Fact #1 : This Was The First International COVID Summit

Interestingly, this conference was called International COVID Summit III, but I could find no reference to the two previous two conferences – the first International COVID Summit, and International COVID Summit 2 do not appear to exist!

What actually existed were the Global COVID-19 Summit, which was held on September 22, 2021; and the 2nd Global COVID-19 Summit which was held on 12 May 2022.

Both Global COVID-19 Summit 1 and 2 involved heads of states and governments, as well as heads of international organisations, NGOs, and industries across the world. There does not appear to be a third Global COVID-19 Summit yet.

Fact #2 : It Was Not An Official European Parliament Event

It is easy to see why people would believe the claim that the International COVID Summit III was an official European Parliament event. The videos and screenshots show a liberal use of the European Parliament logo, and accompanying statements suggest the same.

However, if you check the European Parliament website, you will not find International COVID Summit III listed at all. You also won’t find it in the European Parliament’s list of official events for May 2023:

Hearings : A committee is permitted to organise a hearing with experts, where this is considered essential to its work on a particular subject.

In May 2023, only one hearing was scheduled and has not yet occurred – Public Hearing on “Legal Migration; the skills and talent package”.

Workshops : Workshops are organised by the policy departments and enable members to put questions to and exchange views with experts on subjects associated with parliamentary business or subjects of current interest.

No workshops were held, or are scheduled for May 2023.

Other Events : All other public events organised as part of committee activities involving external speakers or experts.

There are two events scheduled for May 2023 – both on 23 May 2023. The first is called “LIBE to hold exchanges with two data protection authorities“. The second is “Exchange of views on the migrant shipwreck off to the Italian coasts“.

As far as I can tell – the International COVID Summit III was not an official European Parliament event.

Fact #3 : The Summit Was Held In Room PHS 1A2

It took some digging, but I managed to trace the location of this event. It was not held in the grand plenary hall where the 705 Members of the European Parliament meet, of course.

Rather, the International COVID Summit III took place in Room PHS 1A2 in the Paul-Henri SPAAK building – one of the many rooms available for MEPs to use.

Interestingly, this room (officially Room 1A002) was named as the Anna Lindh Room in September 2003, in honour of Sweden’s murdered foreign minister.

Fact #4 : The Summit Was Hosted By ECR + ID Parliamentary Groups

The International COVID Summit III appears to be sponsored by the European Parliament Members from the ECR (European Conservatives and Reformists), and the Identity and Democracy (ID) groups.

That explains how this “summit” or “conference” was held within the European Parliament building, even though it was not an official or sanctioned event.

From the event itinerary, it appears that just five European Parliament Members attended the International COVID Summit III:

MR. IVAN VILIBOR SINČIĆ, Non-attached Member of the European Parliament – CROATIA
MRS. FRANCESCA DONATO, Non-attached Member of the European Parliament – ITALY
MR. MISLAV KOLAKUŠIĆ, Non-attached Member of the European Parliament – CROATIA
MRS. CHRISTINE ANDERSON, Identity and Democracy – GERMANY
MR. CRISTIAN TERHEȘ, European Conservatives and Reformists – ROMANIA

Obviously, speaking to those five MEPs do not constitute speaking to the European Parliament itself, since 700 other MEPs were not in the room, and it wasn’t even an official event!

On top of that, the event banner show that they were not there as official representatives of the European Parliament, but as “co-hosting members” of the event…

Fact #5 : It Was All Talk, No Action

The International COVID Summit ran for about 9 hours, from 9 AM until 6 PM, and featured a long list of the usual suspects. But despite many of them giving bombastic testimony, the summit / conference ultimately resulted in nothing.

Because it was not an official European Parliament meeting or event, it had absolutely zero effect. The summit organisers did not even think of asking the attendees to pass a motion or action plan of any kind.

From what I can tell – the entire “summit” consisted of allotted time for the speakers to speak to the attendees and a livestream, from within a European Parliament room.

Perhaps that was ultimately the purpose of this event – to give those speakers the patina of European Parliamentary approval? Perhaps that was all they needed. After all, people are already claiming on social media that those speakers were testifying to the European Parliament.

But if you made it this far, you already know that this is not true at all. Sadly, most people will not know that.

Truth : DOD Data Do Not Show Massive Disease Spike After Vaccine!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS being created to scare people about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : DMED Data Is Available To Many People

First, let me just point out that the Defense Health Agencies Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) is an online DOD (Department of Defense) platform which allows users to look up a subset of data from the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS).

The DMED platform is not public, but it is available to a wide number of people, specifically “U.S. military personnel, medical providers, epidemiologists, medical researchers, safety officers, medical operations and clinical staff, and federal partners and civilian collaborators in military medical research and operations“.

Anyone with the right credentials, including civilian researchers, can access the database.

Fact #2 : DMED Data For 2016-2020 Was Inaccurate

US DOD (Department of Defense) spokesperson Lisa Lawrence explained that the massive increase in diseases afflicting US military personnel in 2021 was due to inaccurate DMED data for 2016-2020:

Comparing the DMED database to the source data contained in DMSS, the Defense Health Agency’s Armed Forces Surveillance Division (AFHSD) discovered that the total number of medical diagnoses from 2016-2020 that were accessible in DMED represented only a small fraction of actual medical diagnoses for those years. In contrast, the 2021 total number of medical diagnoses were up to date in DMED.

The comparison between the data available in the platform from 2021 and 2016-2020 “resulted in the appearance of significant increased occurrence of all medical diagnoses in 2021 because of the underreported data for 2016-2020. AFHSD has taken DMED offline to identify and correct the root-cause of the data corruption.

Peter Graves, the spokesperson for the Defense Health Agency’s Armed Forces Surveillance Division, explained that the incorrect data for the years 2016-2020 led to a large underreporting of diseases for those years. But the 2021 data was correct, thus giving the “appearance of significant increased ccurrence of all medical diagnoses in 2021 because of the underreported data for 2016-2020“.

In other words, the incorrect DMED data for 2016-2022 made it appear as if there was a sudden spike in illnesses affecting US military personnel, when there was none.

If there was really a spike in diseases after COVID-19 vaccination, the US DOD would have reacted quickly, as this would have gravely impacted troop readiness. They didn’t do anything because there was no actual spike in diseases after vaccination.

Fact #3 : No Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Cancer

There is zero evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer, or increase the risk of cancer. In fact, there is no sign of any surge of cancers developing after COVID-19 vaccinations worldwide.

Claims that COVID-19 vaccines cause “turbo cancer” is also nonsensical – there is no such thing as “turbo cancer”. Cancers generally take many years to develop following exposure to carcinogens.

It is biologically implausible for COVID-19 vaccines to cause a spike in cancer diagnoses, even if the DMED data was correct (which isn’t the case).

Fact #4 : No Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Birth Defects / Fertility Problems

There is also zero evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause birth defects and fertility problems like miscarriages, ovarian dysfunction, infertility in men or women, etc.

Post-marketing surveillance have not detected any data that would suggest that the COVID-19 vaccines would negatively impact pregnancy or fertility in any way. Later studies involving thousands of pregnancies also showed that there was no increased risk of miscarriages, preterm births, or other safety concerns for mothers and their babies after COVID-19 vaccination.

In contrast, the data shows that pregnant women are at higher risk of developing severe COVID-19, particularly in their second and third trimesters. This increases the risk of preterm birth and miscarriage / still birth.

Furthermore, two US studies found that COVID-19 vaccination did not affect sperm quality, or embryo implantation. But COVID-19 infections has been shown to temporarily reduce male fertility.

Fact #5 : Heart Problems Are More Common With COVID-19 Infections

mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are associated with the rare risk of developing heart inflammation – myocarditis and pericarditis, but they mostly occur in males under the age of 40, and are generally milder in nature.

On the other hand, heart inflammation is not only more common with COVID-19 infections, it is often more severe.

The large SAFECOVAC trial involving over 400,000 hospital admissions showed that it is hundred of times easier to get myocarditis from a COVID-19 infection, than it is from three doses of any COVID-19 vaccine!

Myocarditis Risk	Per Million People	vs Sinovac	vs AstraZeneca	vs Pfizer
COVID-19	450	+300x	+214x	+167x
3x Pfizer	2.7	+1.8x	+1.3x	Baseline
3x AstraZeneca	2.1	+1.4x	Baseline	-0.2x
3x Sinovac	1.5	Baseline	-0.3x	-0.4x

Look at the results! If you are worried about myocarditis, you should definitely want to AVOID getting infected with COVID-19.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccines Have Been Proven Safe + Effective

Anti-vaccination proponents are not interested in your health, which is why they keep spreading misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

The truth is – COVID-19 vaccines were only approved AFTER they have undergone large safety and efficacy tests, involving tens of thousands of volunteers.

And even after receiving Emergency Use Authorisation and full FDA approval, they continue to be monitored for safety and efficacy.

The reason why doctors and health authorities STRONGLY advocate vaccination is because the vaccines have been PROVEN to protect the vast majority of people from getting COVID-19 in the first place.

And even if you do get infected after vaccination, the vaccine will protect you against hospitalisation and death from COVID-19.

Do Paracetamol Tablets Contain Machupo Virus?!

Leave a reply

Do P-500 Paracetamol / Acetaminophen tablets contain the dangerous Machupo virus?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : P-500 Paracetamol Contains Machupo Virus!

People are sharing a post and photo on WhatsApp and social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, claiming that the P-500 or P / 500 or Aeknil paracetamol tablets contain the dangerous Machupo virus!

URGENT WARNING!

Be careful not to take the paracetamol that comes written P / 500. It is a new, very white and shiny paracetamol, doctors advise that it contains “Machupo” virus, considered one of the most dangerous viruses in the world, with a high mortality rate. Please share this message, with all people on your contact list as well as family, and save a life or lives ….I’ve done my part, now it’s your turn … remember that God helps those who help others & themselves!

Forward as received.

Truth : Paracetamol Tablets Do Not Contain Machupo Virus

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created to scare people about the safety of medications, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Paracetamol = Acetaminophen

First, let me just point out that paracetamol is known as acetaminophen in the United States, Canada, Japan, Venezuela and Columbia.

You may better know them by their trade names – Panadol is the GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) trade name for paracetamol, while Tylenol is the trade name owned by McNeil, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, for the same drug – acetaminophen.

Many people now call all forms of paracetamol / acetaminophen “Panadol” or “Tylenol”, whether it comes from GSK or McNeil or another company. In other words :

Paracetamol = Panadol = Tylenol = Acetaminophen

Fact #2 : Paracetamol / Acetaminophen Do Not Contain Machupo Virus

To be clear – paracetamol or acetaminophen tablets do not contain the Machupo virus.

This was confirmed by many health authorities like the Malaysia Ministry of Health (KKM) [pdf download]:

Seperti kebanyakan virus yang lain, virus ini tidak boleh hidup dalam persekitaran yang kering seperti tablet paracetamol.

Like many other viruses, this virus cannot live in a dry environment like paracetamol tablets.

The Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HSA) also confirmed that this is fake news:

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) would like to inform members of the public that an “alert” that is circulating on social media regarding the transmission of “Machupo” virus through paracetamol tablets is a hoax. Its content is untrue.

HSA assures the public that the content of the hoax “alert” is inaccurate and is not a cause for concern. Anyone who receives the hoax “alert” should not forward it to others as the information is untrue.

Fact #3 : Machupo Virus Only Documented In South America

The Machupo virus is the informal name for Machupo mammarenavirus, an RNA virus of the Arenaviridae family that causes Bolivian haemorrhagic fever (BHF) – also known as black typhus or Ordog Fever.

First identified in 1963, the Machupo virus is deadly with a mortality rate of between 5% to 30%, with an average case-fatality rate of 22%.

However, the Machupo virus has only been documented in South America, mostly in Bolivia, where it is endemic in the regions of Mamoré and Iténez.

Fact #4 : Machupo Virus Is Transmitted By Infected Rodents

The Machupo virus is transmitted through infected rodents, specifically the large vesper mouse (Calomys callosus) that is indigenous to northern Bolivia. That’s why its spread is limited mainly to Bolivia.

In addition, the virus spreads through the saliva, faeces, and urine of infected rodents. Therefore, it is unlikely to spread through sealed packages of any medication, unless the contents were contaminated during production or packaging.

Fact #5 : This Is Old Fake News

Finally, this fake news isn’t even new. It was been circulating since mid-2017. It just keeps resurrecting and going “viral” every few years on WhatsApp and social media platforms.

Did Tom Hanks Just Die Suddenly?!

Leave a reply

Did Hollywood legend Tom Hanks just die suddenly from an unspecified cause of death?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Tom Hanks Just Died Suddenly!

People are sharing YouTube, Facebook and TikTok videos claiming that Hollywood legend Tom Hanks just died suddenly of an unspecified cause of death, with titles like :

10 minutes ago : Tom Hanks passed away | R.I.P. Tom Hanks

Stop breathing 5 minutes ago / RIP Legendary Hollywood actor Tom Hanks / Goodbye Tom Hanks #tomhanks

10 Minutes Ago Sad News Tom Hands Is Pass Away Expected Soon Family Prepared To Say Goodbye

R.I.P. Tom Hanks touches our hearts with this tearful goodbye

R.I.P. It’s With Our Deepest Regret to Report About Tom Hanks Mourns Beloved

R.I.P. Tom Hanks : Tom Hanks dead 2023

Truth : Tom Hanks Did Not Die Suddenly

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate income from page views and advertising, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Tom Hanks Is Still Alive + Well!

Tom Hanks is still very much alive and well, as of May 16, 2023, when his interview on The Adam Buxton podcast was released. In that interview, he said that AI may allow him to continue appearing in movies even after he dies.

I can tell you that there is discussions going on in all of the guilds, all of the agencies, and all of the legal firms in order to come up with the legal ramifications of my face and my voice and everybody else’s being our intellectual property.

What is a bona fide possibility right now is, if I wanted to, I could get together and pitch a series of seven movies that would star me in them in which I would be 32 years old from now until kingdom come.

Anybody can now recreate themselves at any age they are by way of AI or deep fake technology. I could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that’s it, but performances can go on and on and on and on.

Of course, that podcast was recorded earlier – on April 18. But on the same day the podcast was released, Tom Hanks himself posted about his wife’s latest record with Emily Shackleton – I Loved You First.

Tom Hanks is also on a book tour, to promote his novel – The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece. On May 16, he was in Tulsa for a book signing and a Q&A session with his fans.

So yeah, Tom Hanks is very much alive, well, and healthy!

Fact #2 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death

These YouTube / TikTok / Facebook videos have been circulating for weeks and months, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported his death.

When Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, got infected with COVID-19, the worldwide media breathlessly reported on their condition – they were both fine.

No legitimate media outlet has reported that he died recently from any cause. Why should you believe random YouTube / TikTok / Facebook videos?

Fact #3 : The Photos Were Edited

I analysed the photos used in these videos, and traced the origin of three examples used in many of these videos.

This photo was edited from a Getty Images stock photo of a funeral, to add a crying lady and other people, as well as a photo of Tom Hanks in a frame.

This photo of his funeral is also fake. This is actually a photo of Serbian folk singer, Šaban Šaulić, who died on February 17, 2019. His funeral was held on February 22, 2019.

The fake news creator flipped the photo, and superimposed a large and overly bright head of Sylvester Stallone together with a framed photo of Tom Hanks magically floating in front of him!

This funeral photo is really a stock photograph of a funeral that is available on the Unsplash website.

Fact #4 : This Video Is From Veep

This video that some people are sharing out is actually a video clip from the final scene of the comedy television series, Veep.

It shows Tom Hanks dying at the age of 88, after winning four Oscar awards and a statuette for Philadelphia 2.

Just in case you are wondering, Tom Hanks was born on July 9, 1956) and will only turn 88 in the year 2044. And the movie Philadelphia 2 does not exist.

Fact #5 : Tom Hanks Death Hoax Driven By Fake Fact Check Too

This Tom Hanks death hoax is, ironically, also being driven by a fake fact check article by the MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in their fake fact check article:

Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Tom Hanks’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American actor’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Monday (May 15, 2023), our beloved actor Tom Hanks passed away. Tom Hanks was born on July 9, 1956 in Concord. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 66-year-old actor was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

On Tuesday (May 16) the actor’s reps officially confirmed that Tom Hanks is not dead. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

Show less

Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Tom Hanks Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.

The statement from Tom Hanks’ unnamed rep confirming that he is not dead is exactly the same as statements from other reps whose celebrities MediaMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, like Celine Dion, Simon Cowell, Cristiano Ronaldo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Justin Bieber, Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, Dolly Parton, Lucy Liu, Clint Eastwood, and Melanie Laurent.

He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.

Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.

Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Fact #6 : This Is Just Fake Celebrity News

COVID vaccines have 1000X death rate than safe limit?!

Leave a reply

Do COVID-19 vaccines have a death rate that is over 1000X higher than the acceptable safe limit?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : COVID Vaccines Have 1000X Death Rate Than Safe Limit!

People are sharing an article by tech millionaire Steve Kirsch, who claims that the COVID vaccines have a death rate that is 1000X higher than the acceptable safe limit!

Here is an excerpt from the really long article, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

The COVID vaccines have an estimated death rate >1,000 higher than the acceptable safe limit

But nobody at the FDA or the CDC cares about that. The real story is that an estimated 80% or more of the vaccines examined in this study are too deadly to be used. Here’s the data showing that.

Executive Summary

I estimate that the COVID vaccines are 1,000X higher than the 1 death per million doses “safe limit” described by Paul Offit on 60 Minutes.

And the other ones? Well, they are highly likely not safe either. I just wanted to be sure you knew that.

None of the Twitter trolls could cite any errors on this chart.

IMPORTANT: The red bars are UNDER reported; the blue bars are FULLY reported.

Just because there are deaths, doesn’t mean the vaccine caused the death. There is a background rate of deaths that will be associated with VAERS reports because people can die coincidentally to a vaccination.

We know for a fact the flu vaccine is deadly and should be pulled from the market because we showed you the charts from Medicare which is fully reported and the gold standard. Have you ever noticed that the CDC will never show you that graph?

So when we see a .35 deaths per million doses in VAERS, it’s an indicator of an unsafe vaccine.

Now for the money shot. So basically, all the vaccines with .25 or higher red bars are highly likely to be unsafe as well.

Do you see any vaccines which meet that criteria?

If you don’t, then I have some good news for you: the CDC is looking to hire you in their Vaccine Safety Monitoring Department where you can work among other blind people there such as John Su.

I count 19 vaccines above the threshold, and just 4 below.

In other words, it’s highly likely most of the vaccines you thought were safe… Well, they probably aren’t.

Why take the risk? Why not demand to see the post-marketing proof of safety?

Where do I get the 1,000X higher than safe?

The graph shows just 25 deaths per million. But VAERS is under-reported by 41X. Do the math: 25 x 41 = 1025.

Show less

Truth : COVID Vaccines Do Not Have 1000X Death Rate Than Safe Limit!

This is yet another example of MISINFORMATION being created to scare people about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : VAERS Data Is Unverified

First, let me just point out that VAERS data is unverified, and notoriously susceptible to abuse, and false reporting. That’s because it’s an open system that anyone – not just doctors, can report anything they want.

In addition, the reports may be duplicated and have not been verified to be related to the vaccine or drug in question. Hence, VAERS specifically warns against using its reports to reach any conclusion about the risks or safety of vaccines / drugs in question.

But that is precisely why anti-vaccination activists love using VAERS data – it’s unverified, and very susceptible to abuse and false reporting.

Fact #2 : NVICP Data Does Not Cover COVID-19 Vaccines

Oddly, the VAERS Analysis chart used data from NVICP (National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program), but not CICP.

Why does it use NVICP data when actual COVID-19 vaccine claims are covered by a separate programme called Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP)?

COVID-19 vaccines are covered countermeasures under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), not the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Fact #3 : 1000X Death Rate Was Completely Made-Up

As mentioned earlier, VAERS data is unverified, and open to abuse and false reporting. So deaths reported to VAERS may not be related to the vaccine, and may have duplicate reports.

On top of that, the VAERS Analysis chart included NVICP data, but not CICP data. Hence, the VAERS Analysis chart with its death rate of 25 per million for the COVID-19 vaccines is highly suspect.

But what’s worse is what Steve Kirsch did with that already suspect data – he multiplied it by 41! Why 41? Why not 42 – the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

Where do I get the 1,000X higher than safe?

The graph shows just 25 deaths per million. But VAERS is under-reported by 41X. Do the math: 25 x 41 = 1025.

How did Steve Kirsch determine that VAERS is under-reported by 41X? Who knows? But multiplying it by 41 lets him declare that there are over 1000 deaths per million, and therefore, the COVID-19 vaccines are >1000X over the nonsensical safety limit of 1 death per million.

Fact #4 : There Is No Such Thing As A Safe Limit

I should now point out that there is no such thing as a universal “acceptable safe limit” for all vaccines or drugs of “1 death per million vaccinated people”.

Decisions on whether a treatment or vaccine should or should not be recommended are based on risk benefit analyses that determine whether the benefits outweigh the risks. Those decisions are exclusive to that particular vaccine / drug, and may change over time depending on new research and data.

Fact #5 : Dr. Paul Offit Never Mentioned A Safe Limit For Vaccines

Steve Kirsch based his “acceptable safe limit” of 1 death per million vaccinated people on a quote by Dr. Paul Offit from an interview with 60 Minutes on 11 December 2002.

However, Dr. Paul Offit never said that 1 death per million vaccinated was an “acceptable safe limit”. This was what he said:

“We know if we immunize a million people, that there will be 15 people that will suffer severe, permanent adverse outcomes and one person who may die from the vaccine,” says Dr. Paul Offit, one of the country’s top infectious disease specialists, and he knows all about vaccines that prevent those diseases. In his lab at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, he studies and creates new vaccines.

Dr. Paul Offit was pointing out that more effort should be made to improve the safety of the smallpox vaccine, since the current vaccine is based on 18th century technology, and there are now better and safer vaccine technologies.

There’s nothing new about the smallpox vaccine. The vaccine was created in 1796. The vaccine used today is essentially the same, Offit says. “We tend to think of vaccines as being very safe and every effective, which they are. But all the vaccines that we use today are the result of modern technology. That’s not true of the smallpox vaccine. It has a side effect profile that we, we would not accept for vaccines today,” he says.

That doesn’t mean that 1 death in 1 million vaccinated is a universal safe limit for vaccines. It merely means new vaccine technologies can be used to make an even safer smallpox vaccine.

Fact #5 : COVID-19 Vaccines Have Been Proven Safe + Effective

Anti-vaccination proponents are not interested in your health, which is why they keep spreading misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

The truth is – COVID-19 vaccines were only approved AFTER they have undergone large safety and efficacy tests, involving tens of thousands of volunteers.

And even after receiving Emergency Use Authorisation and full FDA approval, they continue to be monitored for safety and efficacy.

And even if you do get infected after vaccination, the vaccine will protect you against hospitalisation and death from COVID-19.

Did CDC Say COVID Vaccines Cause AIDS + Cancer?!

Leave a reply

Did the CDC say that COVID-19 vaccines increased AIDS related diseases and cancer by 338X in 2021?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : CDC Says COVID-19 Vaccines Increased AIDS + Cancer!

People are sharing an article by The Expose (formerly Daily Expose), which claims that the CDC just said that the COVID-19 vaccines increased AIDS-associated diseases and cancers by 338X in 2021!

Here is an excerpt from the really long article, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

COVID Vaccine roll-out caused 338x increase in AIDS-associated Diseases & Cancers in 2021 says CDC

Official data made available by the U.S. Government and Centers for Disease Control strongly suggests that fully vaccinated Americans may be developing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or a similar disease that is decimating the innate immune system.

But they are not alone, because further data made available by the UK Government and the Government of Canada suggests the vaccinated population in both of these respective countries are also developing the debilitating condition.

It’s a common misconception that Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is only caused by the HIV virus. This simply isn’t true.

Acquired (or secondary) immunodeficiency is one of the major causes of infections in adults. These immunodeficiency disorders affect your immune system partially or as a whole, making your body an easy target for several diseases and infections. (Source)

When immunodeficiency disorders affect your immune system, your body can no longer fight bacteria and diseases.

Several factors in the environment can cause secondary immunodeficiency disorders. Some common ones are:

Radiation or chemotherapy, which can lead to a secondary immunodeficiency disorder known as neutropenia
Infections due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can result in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Leukaemia, a cancer that begins in the cells of the bone marrow that can lead to hypogammaglobulinemia—a type of secondary immunodeficiency
Malnutrition, which affects up to 50% of populations in underdeveloped countries and leaves people vulnerable to respiratory infections and diarrhoea

But some of the less common causes include Drugs or medications.

So it’s perfectly possible for a medication or drug to cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and data published by the U.S Government and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) strongly suggests the Covid-19 injections should be added to the list.

For months on end, official data coming out of both the UK and Canada has strongly insinuated that the vaccinated population are developing a new form of AIDS. This is because the Covid-19 injections are proving to have a real-world negative effectiveness, implying that they are causing damage to the natural immune system.

Show less

Truth : CDC Did Not Say COVID-19 Vaccines Increase AIDS + Cancer

This is just another example of FAKE NEWS from the notorious fake news website, The Expose, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : The Expose Is A Notorious Fake News Website

Like Real Raw News and NewsPunch, Daily Expose is a FAKE NEWS website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money. It was later rebranded as The Expose.

Founded in November 2020 by Jonathan Allen-Walker – a mechanic from Lincolnshire, The Expose / Daily Expose is infamous for publishing COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from Daily Expose / The Expose. Here are some of its fake stories that I personally debunked earlier:

Everything posted by The Expose / Daily Expose must be considered fake news, until proven otherwise.

Fact #2 : Adverse Events Are Not Side Effects

Anti-vaccination activists and websites often mention “adverse events” instead of “side effects”, and that’s intentional.

Adverse events are simply “unfavourable” or “unintended” events that happen after vaccination, even if they are unrelated to the vaccine itself. Adverse events can include vaccine-related events like an anaphylactic reaction, or something completely unrelated like getting into a car accident right after vaccination.

Just because they were reported to monitoring systems like VAERS in the US, or Yellow Card in the UK, it does not mean that they are vaccine side effects. Reported adverse events have to be investigated to find out if they are related (anaphylactic reaction) or not (getting into a car accident) to the vaccine or drug that was taken.

Even if an adverse event was “possibly caused” by the vaccine, it must still be confirmed that the vaccine directly caused it, because an anaphylactic reaction (for example) can also occur from a bee sting, or an existing peanut allergy.

Only once an adverse event is confirmed to be caused by the vaccine, is it then a vaccine side effect. Otherwise, it is merely an adverse event, not a side effect.

That is why it is not only wrong, but grossly irresponsible, to use adverse events to scare people into thinking that they are vaccine side effects.

Fact #3 : Adverse Event Monitoring Systems Are Open To Abuse

Adverse event monitoring systems like VAERS and Yellow Card were intentionally designed to be open to anyone to report anything. This lets scientists catch as many adverse events as possible, to hopefully pick out very rare side effects that even large trials may not catch.

Unfortunately, this open design also makes them notoriously susceptible to abuse, and false reporting. Not just doctors and their patients, but literally any Tom, Dick, or Harry with nothing better to do, can create and file nonsensical adverse event reports.

This is why VAERS, for example, is a favourite tool for anti-vaccination activists. Not only can they create fake reports to inflate the numbers of adverse events, and/or to generate fake news, they often use its unverified adverse events statistics to drive the perception that COVID-19 vaccines cause a lot of death and injuries.

The CDC is well-aware of this problem, which is why they explicitly pointed out to everyone that :

Reports may include incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental and unverified information.
The number of reports alone cannot be interpreted or used to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, frequency, or rates of problems associated with vaccines.

For certain, CDC did not say that the VAERS reports show that COVID-19 vaccines increased AIDS and cancer by 338X in 2021!

So next time you see any report that mentions VAERS, take it with a big pinch of salt. Better still, ignore it completely.

Fact #4 : AIDS Is Caused By HIV Infection

The Expose / Daily Expose falsely claims that AIDS have multiple causes, including “drugs or medications”. That’s nonsense. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is only caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

HIV infections go through different stages – from an acute infection, to clinical latency, before it progresses to the AIDS stage, which is defined as a HIV infection with either :

a CD4⁺ T cell count below 200 cells per µL, or
the occurrence of specific diseases associated with HIV infection

The Expose / Daily Expose (intentionally?) confused AIDS with Secondary Immunodeficiency Disorders (SID).

Since AIDS can only be caused by a HIV infection, the entire premise of its article falls into pieces. It’s complete and utter nonsense – COVID-19 vaccines do not cause AIDS!

Fact #5 : HIV Is Different From SARS-CoV-2

Just to be clear, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a completely different virus from SARS-CoV-2 – the COVID-19 virus.

HIV viruses are double-stranded retroviruses from the Lentivirus genus, and are transmitted through sexual contact, or transfer of blood and bodily fluids.

SARS-CoV-2 is a single-stranded coronavirus from the Betacoronavirus genus, and is airborne, mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and aerosols.

There is no conceivable way for COVID-19 vaccines, or even COVID-19 infections, to cause AIDS…. or to “create a new form of AIDS”. That’s nonsense.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccines Do Not Damage Immune System

COVID-19 vaccines do not damage your immune system, because they are really just training camps for your immune system.

All they do is teach your immune system how to identify the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Your own immune system will then develop its own antibodies to protect against the real coronavirus when you get infected.

Like special forces training for soldiers in an army, vaccines boost your immune system’s ability to fight back against a new enemy.

COVID-19 vaccines certainly cannot cause AIDS by damaging your immune system Again, AIDS can only be caused by a HIV infection!

Did fully-vaxxed George Monbiot get Covid 23 times?!

Leave a reply

Did Guardian columnist George Monbiot get COVID-19 for the 23rd time, despite being fully-vaccinated, with dozens of booster doses?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Fully-Vaxxed George Monbiot Got COVID For 23rd Time!

Anti-vaccination activists are gleefully sharing a screenshot of an article from The Guardian as evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines are useless.

The screenshot purportedly shows columnist George Monbiot complain about getting infected with COVID-19 for the 23rd time, despite being fully-vaccinated and receiving dozens of booster doses.

George Monbiot : I’ve caught Covid for the 23rd time despite having had dozens of boosters (I’ve lost count). Thank heavens for the vaccine.

Literally billions of kids are dying from long Covid every day, but evil anti-vaxxers – e.g. the hated Bridgen – don’t care.

Truth : George Monbiot Did Not Get COVID-19 For 23rd Time!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS shared and propagated by anti-vaccination activists on social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : The Viral Screenshot Is Fake

First, let me just point out right away that the viral screenshot is fake. There is no such article in The Guardian. Neither did George Monbiot publish any article in The Guardian on 11 May 2023.

This is easily proven by checking George Monbiot’s article listing in The Guardian. He posted on England’s dying rivers on 3 May, and then the draconian new police powers on 12 May, with nothing in between.

But it looks like people who shared it did not even bother to look for the article; if not to verify, then to look for other juicy quotes to use… Too much work, I guess.

Fact #2 : Only 2 Booster Doses Were Approved In UK

In the United Kingdom, people are currently only allowed to receive up to two booster doses. Even then, the second booster dose was limited to front line health and social care workers, older people, or people who are immunocompromised.

For certain, no one would be able to received “dozens of boosters” as the fake screenshot claimed. As the first booster dose was approved in September 2021, Monbiot would have to take one booster dose every 3-4 weeks for that to be remotely true.

Fact #3 : There Are Only 2.2 Billion Children In The World

As of end 2022, there are roughly 2.2 billion children in the world. Obviously, it is impossible for billions of children to die from long Covid every day.

If even just one billion children die from long Covid every day, all the children in the world would be dead in two days.

Fact #4 : It Was Parody By Sir Lefty Farr-Wright

I traced the origin of this viral screenshot to a parody account on Twitter, called Sir Lefty Farr-Wright, Hard-Right Parody Account (@GiveUsAQuid).

The Twitter account name left no doubt that the post was a parody, a joke. But it looks like either people who shared it are blind, or intentionally copied and posted it on their own accounts to mislead people.

Fact #5 : Right Said Fred Made It Go Viral

While Sir Lefty Farr-Wright has quite a following, with almost 20K followers, that George Monbiot screenshot was only shared like 50 times.

It appears that the fake screenshot only went viral after one-hit-wonder band from the 90s, Right Said Fred, posted it on their Twitter account the same day. After that, George Monbiot got bombarded with abuse by their followers.

After Right Said Fred realised that they were taken for a ride / trolled, they deleted the tweet, claiming that it was “clearly a joke”.

Actually it’s clearly a joke and my tweet reflected that, other people thought it was real so I deleted it. There, fixed it for you.

However, a screenshot taken by George Monbiot showed that they believed it was genuine. When someone pointed out that it was a parody, they responded, “Are you sure? The link is to his blog.”

Fact #6 : Andrew Bridgen Was Expelled For Anti-Vax Comments

In case you are wondering about “the hated Bridgen” part, it is a reference to Andrew Bridgen, the Member of Parliament for North West Leicestershire.

Andrew Bridgen is a vocal critic of the COVID-19 vaccines, and was expelled from the Conservative Party on 12 April 2023, after he compared the vaccines to the Holocaust.

Did Ray Liotta Die From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did actor Ray Liotta die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Ray Liotta Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Within hours of news breaking that veteran actor Ray Liotta passed away, people started claiming that he died from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Ray Liotta has passed away at the age of 67 in his sleep… from sudden death syndrome caused by vaccine effects on his heart? #rayliotta #LongCovid #COVID19 #VaccineSideEffects

Still no official cause of death for Ray Liotta. Apparently a heart attack in his sleep. Hey, doesn’t the #Pfizer vaccine cause blood clots?

Now @rayliotta ?! When are we going to start looking at the cause of sudden death of the ridiculously high numbers of #Hollywood elite? #VaccineSideEffects #vaccine #COVID #suddendeath hmmm 🤔

Ummmm he just died in his sleep…. yep i bet he was vaccinated 💉💉💉💉

Another vaccine death….. they will cover up #rayliotta 👇👇👇👇

When I read about Ray Liotta’s death it made me think of Bob Saget who also died suddenly. Is there a connection that both deaths were vaccine related? The true cause of death will NEVER be disclosed. SAD 😞

Truth : Ray Liotta Did Not Die From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths on the COVID-19 vaccine.

So it’s no surprise that they would immediately claim that Ray Liotta died from the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are the reasons why these claims are FAKE NEWS…

Fact #1 : Ray Liotta Died In His Sleep

On 26 May 2022, Raymond Allen Liotta died in his sleep at the age of 67, according to his publicist, Jennifer Allen.

Paramedics rushed to his room, but he was already dead when they arrived 12 minutes later.

Fact #2 : Ray Liotta’s Cause Of Death Was Not Vaccine!

Ray Liotta’s body was transferred to the National Forensic Institute of Santo Domingo for an autopsy, with a toxicology report expected later. Authorities said that there were no signs of foul play, or anything suspicious about his death.

His publicist, Jennifer Allen, confirmed on or around June 9, 2022, that the claims that Liotta died from the COVID-19 vaccine are “100% not true“. She also stated that :

The family has not released the cause of death yet, but I do know the cause, and (it) has nothing to do with COVID or the vaccine.

That was finally confirmed by his official autopsy report which was released on 8 May 2023.

According to Dominican Republic officials, manner of death for Ray Liotta was categorised as “natural” and “non-violent“, and his official causes of death were respiratory insufficiency, pulmonary oedema (fluid in the lungs), and acute heart failure.

The autopsy also revealed that Ray Liotta also suffered from atherosclerosis, although that was not a direct cause of death.

Now that the official cause and manner of death for Ray Liotta has been released, let this be the final word – his death had nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines.

Casas del VXI Hotel in Santo Domingo, where Ray Liotta stayed while filming ‘Dangerous Waters’ in the Dominican Republic

Fact #3 : Ray Liotta Was Shooting A Movie

Liotta died in the Dominican Republic, where he was shooting a movie called “Dangerous Waters”.

By all accounts, he was healthy and well. There was no evidence he was suffering from any side effects of COVID-19, or any vaccination he may have received.

Fact #4 : His Fiancée Was With Him When He Died

Ray got engaged to former hairstylist, Jacy Nittolo, in December 2020, and she was with him when he died.

In fact, Jacy was the one who called 911 at around 6 AM on that Thursday morning.

This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Dominican Republic’s General Direction of Cinema :

We understand that he was accompanied by his [fiancée] and that the [fiancée] asks that you please respect her grief.

Fact #5 : His Fiancée Did Not Say He Died From Vaccine

His fiancée who was by his side when he died, did not claim that he died from the COVID-19 vaccine.

When she spoke of the tragedy in her Instagram post, she only mentioned the life they shared together :

My life these past couple of years have been nothing but truly magical.
Ray and I share a deep love that I will cherish in my heart forever.
We laughed daily and we were inseparable.
The chemistry was wild in the best way.
He was everything in the world to me and we couldn’t get enough of each other.
The kind of real love that one dreams of.

He was the most beautiful person inside and out that I’ve ever known…and even that is an understatement.

Fact #6 : His COVID-19 Vaccination Status Is Unknown

Claims that Ray Liotta died from side effects of the Pfizer vaccine are not based on any evidence. In fact, we don’t even know if he was vaccinated against COVID-19, much less what vaccine he received!

The Dominican Republic no longer required travellers to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination on arrival, since 23 April 2022.

The government also suspended all COVID-19 restrictions since 16 February 2022, after “100% of the tourism sector personnel… have been vaccinated with two doses, and are in the process of being vaccinated with a third dose of the vaccine against COVID-19“.

Ray Liotta may very well be unvaccinated, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandated in the United States. Many people who died suddenly were found to be unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Ray Liotta died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #7 : Ray Liotta Looked Healthy Days Earlier

A woman called Alba spotted Ray walking with his handlers at the BlueMall in Santo Domingo several days before he died, and asked to meet him.

Ray not only embraced her, he agreed to take a selfie with her. He looked happy and healthy in the selfie that Alba shared.

If he was sick from COVID-19 vaccine side effects, he wouldn’t even be taking a stroll through a mall, never mind filming in a foreign country!

Fact #8 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective

COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.

In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.

Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines were not only safe, they were effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.

Fact #9 : Vaccine Side Effects Generally Last Only A Few Days

COVID-19 vaccine side effects are generally mild, and last only a few days.

In rare cases, the recipient may suffer from blood clots (AstraZeneca) or myocarditis (Pfizer), but they develop within days of receiving the vaccine, not months later.

If Ray Liotta received the COVID-19 vaccine, he would have received all his doses last year. It is quite impossible for Ray’s death to be related to any COVID-19 vaccine he may have received months earlier.

Fact #10 : Post-Vaccination Myocarditis Not A Risk For 50+

Claims that Ray Liotta died from a heart condition brought on by the Pfizer vaccine are based on the fact that the mRNA vaccine can cause myocarditis in some recipients.

Those claims are nonsensical, because the post-vaccination myocarditis happens within days of receiving the mRNA vaccine, not months later.

In addition, the risk of developing post-vaccination myocarditis is practically non-existent for his age group – Ray was 65 years old when the Pfizer vaccine was first approved, and 67 years old when he died.

To help you understand that, I created this table to show you the risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis for different age groups.

It clearly shows that even if Ray was indeed vaccinated against COVID-19 using the Pfizer mRNA vaccine, there was no risk of getting vaccine-induced myocarditis.

Note : Baseline refers to the typical number of myocarditis cases expected in the unvaccinated population.

Age Group	Male Rate (per million doses)	Baseline (per million doses)
12-17	32.4	2.0
18-24	30.7	1.8
25-29	12.2	1.9
30-39	6.9	1.9
40-49	3.5	1.9
50-64	1.9	1.9
65+	0.61	1.05

Fact #11 : Claims Of Celebrities Dying From COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of celebrity deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance.

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity death…

Why David Burleson Did Not Die From Vaccine SADS!

Anti-vaccination activists are claiming that 14 year-old David Wayne Burleson died suddenly in his sleep from vaccine SADS!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : David Burleson Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Anti-vaccination activists are claiming that 14 year-old David Wayne Burleson died suddenly in his sleep from vaccine SADS!

William Makis MD : 14 year old David Wayne Burleson died suddenly in his sleep on Apr.25, 2023.

“No OD, no allergic reaction, no signs of anything” “Nobody could get a heartbeat back”

If COVID-19 vaccinated, early morning cardiac arrest often fatal

#Diedsuddenly #cdnpoli #ableg

GlobalResearch : 14 year old David Wayne Burleson died suddenly in his sleep on Apr.25, 2023.

アラバマ州センタービル – 14 歳の David Wayne Burleson さんが 2023 年 4 月 25 日に睡眠中に突然死亡しました。

「ODなし、アレルギー反応なし、何の兆候もない」
「誰も心拍を取り戻すことができなかった」

COVID-19 ワクチンを接種した場合、早朝の心停止はしばしば致命的です

Truth : David Burleson Did Not Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : David Wayne Burleson Died In His Sleep

David Wayne Burleson was born on February 6, 2009 to Patrick Burleson and Amy Lantz of West Blocton, Alabama.

They woke up on the morning of April 25, 2023 to find David unresponsive in bed. They immediately started CPR, and paramedics who arrived worked on him for over an hour, but never got his heart started. David Wayne Burleson was just 14 years old when he died.

We woke up this morning to find David unresponsive this morning. Started CPR immediately and they worked on him for over an hour. Nobody could get a heartbeat back. They gave him multiples of everything.

Our son, David Wayne Burleson, is dead at 14 years old.

There is no reason as of yet. No OD, no allergic reaction, no signs of anything, just a dead teenager. Prayers are appreciated.

Fact #2 : David Burleson’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown

The exact cause of death for David Wayne Burleson is currently unknown. His parents, and the medical examiner’s office, did not reveal his cause of death.

That does not mean he died from the COVID-19 vaccine, a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, or any other cause of death. It simply means – we, the public, do NOT know his cause of death.

Until his family, or the medical examiner’s office, reveals his cause of death, anyone who claims that David Wayne Burleson died from this or that cause is likely lying to you!

Fact #3 : David Burleson Was Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19!

It is ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blatantly claim that David Wayne Burleson died from the COVID-19 vaccine, when they had no evidence he was ever vaccinated against COVID-19!

In fact, his mother, Amy Lantz posted publicly on April 29, 2023, that she and David Wayne Burleson were never vaccinated against COVID-19!

I can NOT believe I am having to make this post!

There are truly just some fucking heartless, idiotic, live with their head up their ass people in this world!

My son did not have the Covid vaccination, nor does it fucking matter if he did or did not! I don’t give a shit about your opinion on this subject! I am grieving my first born child!

This is for all the people that have been contacting me and feel like they want to contact me about whether he had the vaccine or not!

FUCKING DONT!

I JUST LOST MY BABY BOY, MY FIRST CHILD, MY ONLY SON! I DONT GIVE A MOTHER FUCKING FLYING DIP SHIT ABOUT YOUR DAMN AGENDA OR BELIEFS OR DATA OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU WANT TO USE MY SONS DEATH FOR!

I have had multiple people in the U.S. and other countries contact me over this shit! Yall go the fuck away!

HEARTLESS IDIOTS!

David Wayne Burleson joins the list of unvaccinated people whose sudden deaths were abused by anti-vaccination activists for their agenda – Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, and Kaden Clymer.

Fact #4 : David Burleson’s Family Was Not Vaccinated Against COVID-19 Either!

Just in case anti-vaccination activists intend to suggest that David Wayne Burleson may have been injured by “vaccine shedding”, not only is that a fictional concept, his family was not vaccinated either!

Please don’t ask grieving parents about if their child was vaccinated so you can blame it on the vaccine. That is gaining something for your political standpoint, especially with your stupid profile picture!

I am certainly allowed to lash out at whoever I want to, about anything I want to! I JUST LOST MY SON! lam most certainly allowed to lash out at all the idiotic inconsiderate fucking conspiracy theorists who don’t even know my son or my family, who think it’s a fucking fantastic wonderful idea to ask if my son was vaccinated because they believe the vaccine is killing people and want to have more ‘data and proof’ it kills!

If you were truly JUST sorry for his death and not looking for some kind of data use, you wouldn’t have asked a grieving mother that question!

I did not get the vaccine myself nor did I allow my kids to, so go the fuck away! You aren’t sorry for my loss, you all just want data!

Fact #5 : Claims Of Children Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists exploiting the deaths / injuries of children to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of child deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance.

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next child tragedy…

Did Chelsea Clinton Call To Force-Jab Every Child?!

Leave a reply

Did Chelsea Clinton call to force-jab every child in America with the mRNA vaccine, with or without parental consent?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Chelsea Clinton Calls To Force-Jab Every Child!

People are sharing an article that claims that the Chelsea Clinton say it’s time to force-jab every child in America with the mRNA vaccine, with or without parental consent!

Here is an excerpt from the very long article, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Chelsea Clinton: ‘It’s Time To Force-Jab Every Unvaccinated Child in America’

Chelsea Clinton has declared that unvaccinated children in America must be forced to take the mRNA jab with or without parental consent.

Chelsea – via the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) – along with the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation says she hopes to force jab unvaccinated children via a new initiative called “The Big Catch-up.”

“The Big Catch-up” will last 18 months and, according to Bill Clinton’s daughter, aims to become “the largest childhood immunization effort ever.”

Childrenshealthdefense.org reports: Clinton, who serves as vice chair of CHAI, last week presented the initiative at Fortune’s Brainstorm Health Conference in Marina del Rey, California.

One day earlier, under the auspices of World Immunization Week, the WHO introduced “The Big Catch-up,” describing it as a “targeted global effort to boost vaccination among children following declines driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Show less

Truth : Chelsea Clinton Never Called To Force-Jab Any Child!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : The People’s Voice Is A Fake News Website

The People’s Voice is the new name / brand for NewsPunch, which was forced to change its name because it has been so thoroughly discredited, its brand was worthless.

Like Real Raw News, NewPunch was a FAKE NEWS website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.

It was founded as Your News Wire in 2014, before being rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news spread on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I personally debunked earlier:

Fact #2 : Chelsea Clinton Did Not Call To Force-Jab Any Child

As usual, NewsPunch / The People’s Voice offered ZERO EVIDENCE to back up its claims. That’s because it’s a fake story – Chelsea Clinton never once say that it was time to force-jab every child in America with the mRNA vaccine, with or without parental consent!

NewsPunch / The People’s Voice also offered NO EVIDENCE that Chelsea Clinton said “she hopes to force jab unvaccinated children via a new initiative called “The Big Catch-up”.

In fact, anyone who spends just a minute or two to search on Google or Bing would have discovered that there is not even a single quote from any speech or video to show that Chelsea Clinton called for children to be forcibly vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines, with or without parent consent.

Fact #3 : The Big Catch-Up Is About Childhood Vaccinations

The NewsPunch / The People’s Voice is based on what Chelsea Clinton said at Fortune’s Barnstorm Health conference in Marin del Ray, California on April 26, 2023.

At the event, she was promoting The Big Catch-Up, which is a global public health initiative to vaccinate children against childhood diseases like measles, diphtheria, polio and yellow fever.

Not only was she referring to a global initiative, she was also referring to childhood diseases. She certainly did not said that children should be forcibly vaccinated. Neither did she say that they should be vaccinated with or without their parents’ consent.

The Big Catch-Up does not involve mRNA vaccines or COVID-19 vaccines. It only targets childhood vaccinations that have declined during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In other words – claims that this is about forcibly vaccinating American children with the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is utter nonsense, and are pure lies.

Fact #4 : She Warned About Low Childhood Vaccinations In The US

The Big Catch-Up isn’t focused on the United States. Rather, it mainly targets the 20 countries where three quarters of children who missed vaccinations in 2021 lives – Afghanistan, Angola, Brazil, Cameroon, Chad, DPRK, DRC, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Somalia, Madagascar, Mexico, Mozambique, Myanmar, Tanzania, Viet Nam.

While the United States isn’t the main focus of The Big Catch-Up, Chelsea Clinton pointed out that many US c children failed to get their childhood vaccines. Less than 70% of children ages 2 and under in the US were considered fully vaccinated during 2020-2021, having received a full set of shots for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, and other diseases common before the vaccine era.

No one should die of polio, measles, or pneumonia—including in this country, where we also need people to vaccinate their kids.

Did Clint Eastwood Just Die From Ligma Virus?!

Leave a reply

Did Clint Eastwood just die suddenly in the hospital from a Ligma virus infection?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Client Eastwood Died Suddenly From Ligma Virus!

People are sharing YouTube videos and articles claiming that Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood just died suddenly in the hospital from a Ligma virus infection, with titles like :

Funeral in Hollywood / Clint Eastwood Officially Dies at 92, Goodbye Legend

25 minutes ago / we send our condolences to the family of Clint Eastwood, goodbye Clint Eastwood

5 Minutes Ago / Died On The Way To The Hospital / Goodbye Actor Clint Eastwood

10 Minutes Ago / Sad News / RIP Clint Eastwood / Goodbye Clint Eastwood

Stopped Breathing 10 minutes ago / Legendary Clint Eastwood dies in hospital…

5 minutes ago / R.I.P. Talented singer Celine Dion passed away at the age of 54, goodbye and rest

Clint Eastwood On Life Support After The Deadly Ligma Virus Spreads Through His Body

Clint Eastwood (92), was rushed to a local Carmel Hospital earlier today after the deadly Ligma virus took control of his vital organs. The storied actor, director and champion for the common man, was feeling fine just days prior. A spokesman for the Actor had this to say to media outlets today, ‘What you have heard is true. Clint Eastwood has been diagnosed with Ligma. We are not sure how long he has been suffering from this affliction. Doctors have told him that he has only weeks left to live’, Franklin Spearman.

This news comes as a shock to millions and millions of Americans. ‘While many believe Ligma had been fully eradicated, Eastwood’s diagnosis proves otherwise. Unfortunately the only thing we can do at this point is ease his suffering. He is currently on life support and sadly the sickness has already spread throughout his body’, Dr. Perry Anworth of Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.

Show less

Truth : Client Eastwood Did Not Die From Ligma Virus!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate income from page views and YouTube advertising, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Clint Eastwood Is Still Alive!

Clint Eastwood (born Clinton Eastwood Jr. on May 31, 1930) is still alive as of May 8, 2023.

He has not been sighted in public for over 450 days now, but is due to celebrate his 93rd birthday at the end of the month, and is due to begin filming his last movie, Juror No. 2, with Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette next month.

Fact #2 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death

These YouTube videos and articles have been circulating for weeks and months, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported his death!

Clint Eastwood may not have been in the public eye for some time now, but he remains a Hollywood legend, not only as an actor but also as a filmmaker.

If he was really hospitalised for a viral infection, or even a fall, it would have been reported by both mainstream media, as well as celebrity blogs.

Yet, no legitimate media outlet or even a celebrity blog reported that Clint Eastwood was hospitalised, much less died from a viral infection. That’s because it never happened!

Fact #3 : Ligma Virus Does Not Exist

It is impossible for Clint Eastwood to die from a Ligma virus infection, because there is no such virus!

The Ligma virus was created in a 2018 Internet hoax, which claimed that Fortnite game streamer, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins died from it. The fake Ligma virus was simply resurrected and used in the Clint Eastwood death hoax.

Fact #4 : The Photos Were Edited

I analysed the photos used in these videos, and traced the origin of two examples used in many of these videos.

In this example, the fake news creator edited a photo of pallbearers leaving St. Mary Parish after a funeral for two siblings – 7 year-old Sean Munroe, and 8 year-old Lexi Munroe, who died after getting trapped in a wooden hope chest.

The funeral was not only far away in Franklin, Massachusetts, it occurred on January 20, 2014 – many years ago.

To make you think it was Clint Eastwood in that casket, the fake news creator simply added a large, floating picture in front of the man in the front.

This photo does not show Clint Eastwood dying in the hospital from the Ligma virus. It is really a photo of Ahmet Dobran, an 82 year-old cancer patient who was attacked and robbed by three men.

That violent attack broke his back in three places, and Mr. Dobran died in the hospital five months later, after drifting in and out of a coma.

Not only did this incident happen far away in East London, this photo was taken a few years ago, in January 2018.

Fact #5 : Clint Eastwood Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too

This Clint Eastwood death hoax is, ironically, also being driven by a fake fact check article by the MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in their fake fact check article:

News of actor Clint Eastwood’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the May 2023 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for the movie Invictus and best known for his roles in Dirty Harry or A Fistful of Dollars is alive and well.

Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Saturday after a ‘R.I.P. Clint Eastwood’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American actor’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (May 06, 2023), our beloved actor Clint Eastwood passed away. Clint Eastwood was born on May 31, 1930 in San Francisco. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 92-year-old actor, director, producer and composer was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Clint Eastwood’s stature would be major news across networks.

Show less

Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Clint Eastwood Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.

The statement from Clint Eastwood’s unnamed rep confirming that he is not dead is exactly the same as statements from other reps of celebrities MediaMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, like Celine Dion, Cristiano Ronaldo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Justin Bieber, Simon Cowell, Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks, Dolly Parton, Lucy Liu, and Melanie Laurent.

She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.

Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.

Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Fact #6 : This Is Just Fake Celebrity News

Did Anastasia Marie Weaver Die From Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did 6 year-old Anastasia Marie Weaver die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Anastasia Marie Weaver Died Suddenly From Vaccine!

Anti-vaccination activists are claiming on social media that 6 year-old Anastasia Marie Weaver died suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine side effects!

Died Suddenly : TRAGIC: 6-year-old Anastasia Marie Weaver #diedsuddenly at her home. Her father found her dead in her bed.

Her mother is a nurse and she heavily pushed the vaccine on Facebook. Anastasia did receive at least two vaccines according to the mother’s social media. 💉

William Makis MD : Ohio – 6 yo Anastasia Marie Weaver died suddenly in her sleep after 2 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines on Jan.25, 2023 (mom is a nurse)

Jan.2022: my girls had no side effects from 2nd shot
Jul.2022: still having seizures
Sep.2022: COVID-19
Jan.25, 2023: died

#DiedSuddenly #cdnpoli #ableg

From left, Andrew Weaver, Caitlin Weaver and Jessica Day-Weaver hold a ceramic hand print of Anastasia at their home in Boardman, Ohio.

No Evidence Anastasia Marie Weaver Died Suddenly From Vaccine!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Anastasia Marie Weaver Died In Her Sleep

Anastasia Marie Weaver (born November 11, 2016 in Boardman, Ohio to Andrew and Jessica Day-Weaver) was a 6 year-old kindergartener at the Robinwood Lane School.

On the morning of Wednesday, January 25, 2023, her father discovered that she was not breathing. Her mother performed CPR on her until the paramedic arrived, and took her to the emergency room at the Akron Children’s Hospital.

Despite the best efforts of her mother (who is a registered nurse at that hospital), the paramedics and the hospital staff, she was pronounced dead at the hospital with her family by her side.

Jessica Day-Weaver : This is the hardest post I’ve ever had to make. This morning at 6am Anastasia passed away. Andrew came home and checked on her and she wasn’t breathing. I did cpr [sic] until the ambulance came then we went to childrens [sic].

She was pronounced 15 min after getting there. We aren’t sure what happened. We are in shock and devastated. As soon as we have any updated we will post them.

Fact #2 : Anastasia Marie Weaver Had History Of Severe Health Problems

What those anti-vaccination activists don’t mention is that Anastasia Marie Weaver was born prematurely, and had severe health issues all her life.

She suffered from epilepsy and asthma, and is often at the hospital struggling with respiratory viruses. She was also on medication for her chronic conditions long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Anti-vaccination activists are sharing screenshots of Jessica Day-Weaver posting that Anastasia suffered seizures. The truth is – she had been suffering from seizures long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Fact #3 : Anastasia Marie Weaver’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

It is important to point that even her doctors do not know why she died, although they expect it was related to her chronic conditions.

An autopsy was conducted to determine her official cause of death, and until that is released, anyone who tells you that Anastasia Marie Weaver died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

The doctors haven’t given us any information other than it was due to all of her chronic conditions. … There was never a thought that it could be from the vaccine.

Fact #4 : Anastasia Marie Weaver Was Fully-Vaccinated In 2011

Jessica Day-Weaver’s Facebook posts show that Anastasia Marie Weaver was fully-vaccinated by December 2021.

She received her first dose of the vaccine on November 11, 2021, and should have received her second dose by the first week of December 2021.

Claims that she received her second dose in January 2022 appear to be a misunderstanding of her mother’s post.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Anastasia Marie Weaver was fully-vaccinated more than a year before her death. She cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Prevent Other Deaths

COVID-19 vaccines are designed to protect us against severe illness and death from COVID-19, by teaching our own immune system how to create antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

They, however, cannot protect us against other causes of death, whether it’s pneumonia, cardiac arrest or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people and children can and will suffer and die from other illnesses.

It is ludicrous for anyone to claim, without evidence, that this little girl died from the COVID-19 vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.

Fact #7 : Claims Of Children Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists exploiting the deaths / injuries of children to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of child deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance.

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next child tragedy…

Do COVID-19 Vaccines DOUBLE Heart Attack Risk?!

Leave a reply

Do COVID-19 vaccines DOUBLE the risk of heart attack over 5 years?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : COVID-19 Vaccines DOUBLE Heart Attack Risk!

People are sharing a Twitter post and video of Dr. Aseem Malhotra telling Joe Rogan about a study by Dr. Steve R. Gundry that claims to prove that COVID-19 vaccines double your heart attack risk over a 5-year period!

COVID Vaccines DOUBLE Heart Attack Risk Over 5-Year Period, According to Data from Cardiac Surgeon

“What he [Dr. Steve R. Gundry] found was that within eight to ten weeks of these patients taking the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine … those markers of inflammation in the blood had increased to a level where their risk of a heart attack went from 11% at five years – just within two months – to 25%,” shared @DrAseemMalhotra.

“To give it context, if I today decided I was going to smoke 40 cigarettes a day, eat junk food … not sleep, [and] stop exercising, I couldn’t even get close to increasing my risk that much in two months.”

Did the Gundry study prove that COVID-19 vaccines DOUBLE heart attack risk?! 😱

Truth : COVID-19 Vaccines Do NOT DOUBLE Heart Attack Risk!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : It Was An Abstract, Not A Peer-Reviewed Study

The article was an abstract (Abstract 10712), called “Observational Findings of PULS Cardiac Test Findings for Inflammatory Markers in Patients Receiving mRNA Vaccines“. It was not a peer-reviewed study.

An abstract is meant to be a short factual summary of an actual study, describing its context, methods, results and conclusions. However, the author – Steven R. Gundry – did not provide details of how he conducted the study, so it is impossible for anyone to confirm that his results are even accurate, much less peer-review it.

Fact #2 : The Abstract Was Published In 2021

This abstract was also published more than 17 months ago – on 8 November 2021. And as far as I can tell, the findings were never replicated or verified by other studies.

Fact #3 : AHA Published An Expression Of Concern

Circulation is a reputable medical journal, published by Lippincourt Williams & Wilkins for the American Heart Association. However, that does not mean that everything published in Circulation is peer-reviewed and/or endorsed by the American Heart Association.

In fact, right after the article was published, the journal published an Expression of Concern, noting (with our emphasis) :

Soon after publication of the above abstract in Circulation, it was brought to the American Heart Association Committee on Scientific Sessions Program’s attention that there are potential errors in the abstract.

Specifically, there are several typographical errors, there is no data in the abstract regarding myocardial T-cell infiltration, there are no statistical analyses for significance provided, and the author is not clear that only anecdotal data was used.

We are publishing this Expression of Concern until a suitable correction is published to indicate that the abstract in its current version may not be reliable.

Fact #4 : PULS Test Does Not Directly Assess Cardiac Health

The PULS (Protein Unstable Lesion Signature) test is a proprietary blood test developed by GD Biosciences Inc. that claims to detect and diagnose early-stage heart disease in asymptomatic patients. It does this by measuring the plasma levels of 9 proteins that are allegedly biomarkers of endothelial (blood vessel) damage.

So the PULS test does not actually tell us anything about the condition of the patient’s heart. It only predicts the future risk of a plaque forming in the blood vessels, that could potentially detach or rupture and lead to a heart attack.

The protein levels that are measured also change over time. Did Gundry confirm that the protein levels remain elevated 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, or 12 months post-vaccination? Because if the increase in protein levels was transient, then the risk of acute coronary syndrome predicted by the PULS score would not actually change.

Fact #5 : Measurement Units + Important Data Are Missing!

While the PULS test looks at 9 protein levels, Dr. Gundry only mentioned three of them. What happened to the other six protein levels?

Did Dr. Gundry forget about them? Or did their results go against the abstract’s dramatic conclusions? How did Circulation let Dr. Gundry post an abstract with ⅓ of the data?

Incredibly, Circulation also allowed Dr. Gundry to publish test results that were devoid of measurement units. Were they measured in mg/dL or pg/ml or PLUS units? Who knows?

On top of that, the abstract does not even mention how many of those 566 patients had elevated PULS scores, and protein levels. Was it all of them? 50%? Or just 1%?

No matter how you slice and dice this abstract, no one can come to any conclusion with just ⅓ of the PULS test results that lack even measurement units.

Fact #6 : The Abstract Was Heavily Corrected

Despite being a short abstract, it was heavily corrected. In fact, the correction was posted on 21 December 2021 was much longer than the original abstract!

its title was revised from “Mrna COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning” to “Observational Findings of PULS Cardiac Test Findings for Inflammatory Markers in Patients Receiving mRNA Vaccines”
the PULS test was no longer “a clinically validated measurement”, but simply “a clinically utilized measurement”
it no longer claimed that “dramatic changes in PULS score became apparent in most patients” after receiving mRNA vaccines.
it added that “There was no comparison made with unvaccinated patients or pts treated with other vaccines“.
it removed the claim that “these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac”.
it added the warning that “No statistical comparison was done in this observational study“.
it removed the original conclusion that “mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination”, and replaced it with “the mRNA vacs numerically increase (but not statistically tested) the markers IL-16, Fas, and HGF, all markers previously described by others for denoting inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle, in a consecutive series of a single clinic patient population receiving mRNA vaccines without a control group.”

In the end, this abstract does not prove that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines double the risk of heart attack in a 5-year period. It only showed that the proprietary PULS score and 3 (out of 9) protein levels were elevated at a particular point in time for an unknown number of people.

Fact #7 : PULS Test Not Used In Mainstream Cardiology

The PULS test is not used in mainstream cardiology, and its use is limited even in the few countries where it is offered.

For example, in the UK, it is only provided through a single medical practice that appears to be focused on “natural health”. Similarly, it is only available in India through a single provider.

Dr. Lander Foquet, an infectious disease scientist, pointed out that the PULs test was promoted heavily by the abstract author, and is “not something used by a real cardiologist”.

Fact #8 : Dr. Gundry Sells Supplements

It should also be noted that Dr. Gundry sells a plethora of dietary supplements under his own brand name – Gundry MD.

There is nothing wrong with creating and selling your own dietary supplements, of course. But many people would consider that to be a potential conflict of interest that should have been mentioned in the abstract’s disclosure. Dr. Gundry reported no conflict of interest.

Fact #9 : Dr. Gundry Was Pitching Quercetin

This was not mentioned in the printed Circulation abstract, but presented to the meeting attendees.

In his slide, Results An [sic] Conclusions, Dr. Gundry recommended the use of low-dose aspirin and/or Quercetin to “treat” this increased risk of heart disease from the mRNA vaccines.

Despite the dramatic claim that mRNA vaccines greatly increase inflammation of the heart, his recommended use of a supplement suggests that he doesn’t even believe it’s particularly dangerous.

I should point out that his recommended treatment is based on ZERO EVIDENCE. Dr. Gundry did not explain why he recommended either “treatment”. Neither did he provide any evidence to back them up.

Credit : Dr. Lander Foquet

Fact #10 : mRNA Vaccine Cardiac Risk Limited To Myocarditis / Pericarditis

Post-marketing monitoring of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have revealed that these mRNA vaccines introduce a small risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in young males.

However, there is NO EVIDENCE that mRNA vaccines cause increased risk of heart disease other than the aforementioned myocarditis / pericarditis risk.

Billions of doses of mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna have already been administered worldwide in the past 28 months.

If the Gundry abstract is correct, we should have seen HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people keeling over from heart attacks in the last year or so. That is obviously not the case at all.

Do mRNA Vaccines Increase Risk Of Death + Injuries?!

Leave a reply

Do the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines increase your risks of serious adverse events, hospitalisation, and death?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : mRNA Vaccines Increase Risk Of Death + Injuries

People are sharing a Twitter post and video of Dr. Aseem Malhotra telling Joe Rogan that a reanalysis of Pfizer and Moderna’s original clinical trial data shows that mRNA vaccines INCREASE your risks of serious adverse events, hospitalisations, and death!

Dr. Aseem Malhotra tells Joe Rogan that a reanalysis of Pfizer and Moderna’s original clinical trial data shows that their COVID mRNA vaccines *INCREASE* your risks of serious adverse events, hospitalization, and death:

“In my whole career, looking at all of the drugs and knowing about many different prescribed medications, I’ve never seen something that when you look at the data has such poor effectiveness and unprecedented harms. In the summer of last year, in the journal Vaccine, the highest-impact medical journal for vaccines, they published a reanalysis of Pfizer and Moderna’s original double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

This is the highest quality of scientific evidence. Joseph Fraiman is an ER doctor and clinical data scientist from Louisiana. Associate editor of the BMJ, Dr. Peter Doshi. Dr. Robert Kaplan from Stanford. Some real eminence of integrity published this reanalysis, and what they found was this. In the trials that led to the approval of regulators worldwide, you were more likely to suffer a severe adverse event from taking the vaccine, hospitalization, disability, or life-changing event than you were to be hospitalized with COVID.

This mRNA vaccine should likely have never been approved for a single human in the first place, and that rate of serious adverse events is at least 1 in 800… 1 in 800 is a very, very high figure. We’ve pulled other vaccines for much less. The 1976 Swine Flu vaccine was pulled because it was found to cause a debilitating neurological condition called Guillan-Barre syndrome in about 1 in 100,000 people. The Rotavirus vaccine was suspended in 1999 because it was found to cause a form of bowel obstruction in kids in 1 of 10,000. This is at least 1 in 800. It’s a no-brainer. So the question is, why have we not paused it?”

Did a study just prove that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines INCREASE risks of serious adverse events?! 😲🤨

— Dr. Adrian Wong (@DrAdrianWong) May 2, 2023

Truth : mRNA Vaccines Not Proven To Increase Risk Of Death + Injuries

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : The Study Was Published In September 2022

The study that Dr. Aseem Malhotra was referring is called “Serious adverse events of special interest following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in randomized trials in adults“.

It was published in the journal Vaccine on September 22, 2022, and you can read the full version here (PDF).

Fact #2 : The Article Looked At Reported AESI

The article looked at Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) reported in the original Phase 3 trials of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines from 2020. It’s short, so I’m reproducing the results here for your convenience:

Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest of 10.1 and 15.1 per 10,000 vaccinated over placebo baselines of 17.6 and 42.2 (95 % CI -0.4 to 20.6 and -3.6 to 33.8), respectively.

Combined, the mRNA vaccines were associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest of 12.5 per 10,000 vaccinated (95 % CI 2.1 to 22.9); risk ratio 1.43 (95 % CI 1.07 to 1.92).

The Pfizer trial exhibited a 36 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group; risk difference 18.0 per 10,000 vaccinated (95 % CI 1.2 to 34.9); risk ratio 1.36 (95 % CI 1.02 to 1.83).

The Moderna trial exhibited a 6 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group: risk difference 7.1 per 10,000 (95 % CI -23.2 to 37.4); risk ratio 1.06 (95 % CI 0.84 to 1.33).

Combined, there was a 16 % higher risk of serious adverse events in mRNA vaccine recipients: risk difference 13.2 (95 % CI -3.2 to 29.6); risk ratio 1.16 (95 % CI 0.97 to 1.39).

Show less

Fact #3 : Adverse Events Of Special Interest Are Not Necessarily Side Effects

I should now point out that Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) are not necessarily vaccine side effects. That’s why they are called “adverse events” and not “side effects”.

Adverse events are “unfavourable” or “unintended” events that happen after vaccination or taking a drug, like having an anaphylactic reaction or getting into a car accident.

All reported adverse events have to be investigated to find out if they are related (anaphylactic reaction) or not (getting into a car accident) to the vaccine or drug that was taken.

Only once an adverse event is confirmed to be caused by the vaccine, is it then a vaccine side effect. Otherwise, it is merely an adverse event, not a side effect.

Fact #4 : Brighton AESI List Is More Specific

Unlike the much wider infamous AESI list of 1,291 adverse events used by Pfizer, the priority AESI list from the Brighton Collaboration is much more specific. You can download the December 2020 version here (PDF).

While the Brighton Collaboration AESI list is more specific, it includes adverse events that may not be related to the vaccine itself. As stated at the top of its Executive Summary on Page 4, the AESI list was crated based on:

known association with immunization or a specific vaccine platform;
theoretical association based on animal models;
occurrence during wild-type disease as a result of viral replication and/or immunopathogenesis.

As noted in Fact #3, these adverse events are not necessarily vaccine side effects. Again, that’s why they are called “adverse events”, and not “side effects”.

Fact #5 : The Study Used An Expanded Brighton AESI List

At first glance, one may be forgiven for thinking that the authors used the more specific Brighton Collaboration AESI list.

However, they actually expanded the Brighton list with 29 additional adverse events that the Brighton Collaboration rejected because they were “known to have been reported but not in sufficient numbers to merit inclusion on the AESI list“.

The 29 additional adverse events (see Page 8) that Brighton Collaboration declined to include in the priority list, but the authors added anyway include adverse events like:

abscess, alopecia, conjunctivitis, mania, psychosis
breast milk, ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy, neonatal diagnoses, foetal diagnoses
host-specific diagnoses not related to pregnancy : geriatric, HIV

In other words – the results in the article are skewed by the inclusion of 29 additional adverse events that were rejected by the Brighton Collaboration.

Fact #6 : The Study Proved Nothing

Dr. Aseem Malhotra wondered why this study did not pause vaccinations. Well, it’s simple – this study is not “the highest quality of scientific evidence” as claimed.

In fact, it offered ZERO EVIDENCE that the mRNA vaccines increased the risk of death or hospitalisation or injury. Neither does it show that the risks of getting the mRNA vaccines exceed its benefits.

There is already a lot of data on actual, proven COVID-19 vaccine side effects, after more than 20 months of vaccinations (from December 2020 until September 2022). If they wanted to prove that the mRNA vaccines are dangerous, they could have reanalysed the original Phase 3 trial data using proven serious side effects, not serious adverse events.

Unfortunately, they chose to use adverse events instead of side effects, and ended up proving nothing in their article. What a waste of time.

Did Jerry Springer Die From Vaccine Turbo Cancer?!

Leave a reply

Did famous talk show host Jerry Springer die from a turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Jerry Springer Died From Vaccine Turbo Cancer!

Right after news broke that Jerry Springer died after a “brief illness”, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the famous talk show host died from a turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Jerry Springer dead at 79 after a long battle with cancer. Jerry was an also an advocate and Covid-19 vaccine recipient. Studies now show, that the vaccine can cause a turbo cancer, which activates your cancer cells that quickly spreads throughout the body. It this all a coincidence? I guess we will never actually know. The vaccine kills. 💉💀#vaccineinjuries #VaccineHolocaust #DiedSuddenlyNews

Jerry Springer, dies suddenly 💉💉💉 #holocaust2 #nuremberg2now #Pfizer #covid #mRNA #vaccinegenocide #China #Biden #vaccinedeath #Elon #VAERS #moderna #CrimesAgainstHumanity #diedsuddenly #stoptheshots #vaccineinjuries #vaccine

Wow, wow, wow. Another Pancreatic Cancer case. I have read up on the increase lately and personally know two who wound up with it. Two of their surgeons blame the COVID vaccines.

Truth : Jerry Springer Did Not Die From Vaccine Turbo Cancer!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Jerry Springer Died From Pancreatic Cancer

Jerry Springer (born Gerald Norman Springer on February 13, 1944) was an American talk show host, journalist, actor, producer, lawyer and politician.

On Thursday, April 27, 2023, his family announced that Jerry Springer died “peacefully” at his Chicago home after a “brief illness”. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few months earlier, but his condition worsened recently, and he died that Thursday morning.

His publicist, Linda Shafran, confirmed that Jerry Springer died of pancreatic cancer. His longtime friend and religious leader, Rabbi Sanford Kopeck said:

He hasn’t been sick for a long time. He died of cancer, and he didn’t have cancer for very long.

His family asked fans to make charitable contributions in his name.

Fact #2 : Pancreatic Cancer Is A Silent Killer

Anti-vaccination activists are pointing to the speed at which Jerry Springer died after his cancer diagnosis, calling it evidence of “turbo cancer” caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

The truth is – pancreatic cancer is an insidious type of cancer that is rarely detected early when it is most curable. It is often called “the silent killer” because most patients do not experience any symptoms until the cancer is already in its advanced stage and has spread to other organs.

By the time people realise that they have pancreatic cancer, it is often too late to cure. That is why the 5-year survival rate is only 12.5%. But in some rare cases, when pancreatic cancer is detected early, patients can live for many years.

US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for example, was diagnosed with early stage pancreatic cancer in 2009 – many years before COVID-19 vaccines were invented, and survived for more than a decade after undergoing surgery.

Even though she was one of those rare cases where her pancreatic cancer was detected early during a medical check-up, it recurred in 2019 and a third time in February 2020. Unfortunately, she died within months from metastases from her third pancreatic cancer on September 18, 2020.

According to the American Society of Cancer, about 50,550 people die from pancreatic cancer every year in the United States. Even though pancreatic cancer only accounts for 3% of all cancers in the United States, it is responsible for 7% of all cancer deaths.

Just to be clear – there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines or any other vaccine can cause pancreatic cancer, or cause it to go “turbo”. Pancreatic cancer is often detected in its late stages, and many patients die soon after diagnosis.

Fact #3 : Jerry Springer Was Likely Fully-Vaccinated

Jerry Springer did not publicly mention his COVID-19 vaccination status. However, he publicly called for people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Therefore, it is very likely that Jerry Springer was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19.

However, this does not meant that the COVID-19 vaccines caused his pancreatic cancer, or “turbocharged” it so he died quickly. There is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine causes pancreatic cancer, or causes any cancer to develop faster.

Pancreatic cancer is often detected late, when it has already spread to other organs and is therefore, effectively incurable. Hence, the vast majority of pancreatic cancer patients died soon after their diagnosis.

Fact #4 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Did Stephan Bonnar Die From Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar die from vaccine-induced sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2023-04-28 : Updated with Stephan Bonnar’s autopsy results and cause of death
Originally posted @ 2022-12-29

Claim : Stephan Bonnar Died From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Stephan Bonnar died suddenly at work, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the 45 year-old UFC Hall of Famer was a victim of COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Here are some examples on social media:

Another Young healthy active person drops dead UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar died unexpectedly while at work ;((. SADS FDHS, “we don’t know why he died but we do know it was not the mRNA vaccines“ will follow shortly

ANOTHER VACCINE DEATH UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar Dies at 45

Huh, lots of Athletes, people in great shape are dropping dead of ‘presumed heart problems’. It’s one of the top side effects of Covid vaccines. Just sayin! -UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar dead at 45

Truth : Stephan Bonnar Did Not Die From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Stephan Bonnar Died From Drug Overdose!

Stephan Bonnar (born Stephan Patrick Bonnar on April 4, 1977) was an American mixed martial artist who was also known as The American Psycho. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on July 6, 2013.

On Thursday, December 22, 2022, UFC announced that Stephan Bonnar died from “presumed heart complications while at work“. Reports claim that he died from heart failure, but that was never confirmed.

The Clark County coroner’s office conducted an autopsy on Stephan Bonnar after his death. Typically, the coroner’s office determines a cause and manner of death within 90 days, but a spokesperson said that his case required more time because it required additional testing.

On Monday, April 24, 2023, the Clark County coroner’s office finally revealed their official cause of death for Stephan Bonnar – Fentanyl, Parafluorofentanyl and Mitragynine intoxication“. His death was ruled as “accidental“.

Fentanyl is the synthetic opioid that is responsible for many sudden deaths in the United States, while parafluorofentanyl is an analogue of fentanyl.

Fentanyl and its analogues are about 50X stronger than heroin, and 100X stronger than morphine, and have been linked to tens of thousands of deaths every single year, in the United States alone.

Mitragynine is the active compound derived from the kratom plant, and is commonly use in the United States as a painkiller, and to help with opioid withdrawal symptoms.

Fact #2 : Stephan Bonnar Used Steroids + Opioids

Stephan Bonnar had a history of steroids use. Back in November 2012, he tested positive for Drostanolone – an anabolic steroid. That was his second positive test, after testing positive for another anabolic steroid – Boldenone, in 2006.

He also had a history of opioid use. In a September 2021 interview with MMA Fighting, he shared that he was on a 30 mg/day regimen of oxycodone to treat his long-term injuries.

After his death, UFC middleweight Sean Strickland came out to criticise those who tried to whitewash his death, stating that Stephan Bonnar was addicted to opioids.

… the Stephan Bonnar I knew was fucking nuts. He was addicted to opioids, he got arrested, got kicked out of the hospital because they wouldn’t give him opioids, his gym went under during COVID.

The coroner’s report confirmed, once and for all, that the Stephan Bonnar was just another victim of the opioid crisis in the United States. It should be noted that he isn’t the first MMA fighter to die from fentanyl.

In May 2022, Bellator fighter Jordan Young was confirmed to have died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl and alprazolam (better known as Xanax).

Fact #3 : Stephan Bonnar Was Anti-Vaccine

It is hilarious to see anti-vaccination activists throw one of their own under the bus. Like Aaron Carter and Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar was anti-vaccination.

In September 2021, Bonnar posted a series of (now deleted) selfie videos in which he claimed he was being denied hospital treatment because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19.

Fact #4 : Stephan Bonnar Was Not Vaccinated

As far as I can tell – Stephan Bonnar was never vaccinated against COVID-19. He publicly spoke out against the COVID-19 vaccines, and said that he was not vaccinated in September 2021.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

So regardless of the actual / official cause of death for Stephan Bonnar, it had nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #5 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing athlete deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here are just some of the latest examples:

Did US FDA Just Ban Pfizer + Moderna Vaccines?!

Leave a reply

Did the US FDA just ban the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines, because they caused too many deaths and injuries?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : US FDA Just Announced Ban of Pfizer + Moderna Vaccines!

People are claiming that the US FDA just announced a ban of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, because they caused too many deaths and injuries!

Paul Hookem : Breaking: The US FDA no longer authorizes Moderna and Pfizer monovalent ‘vaccines’ for use in the US. For the 100 plus million Americans previously injected with this stuff? “Our bad!”

SNEAKO : Last year you couldn’t enter a restaurant without a vaccine card. That same vaccine today is BANNED.

Last year I was canceled off Youtube for saying the vaccine doesn’t work. Today the FDA agrees. Do you still believe their lies?

Remember the Covid-19 shots from Pfizer and Moderna we were all led to get two years ago? They were even FDA approved!

Well now the FDA has banned them. Look it up for yourselves. Which, you’ll probably have to because I doubt MSM will want you to know about it.

Truth : US FDA Did Not Announce Ban of Pfizer + Moderna Vaccines!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Pfizer + Moderna mRNA Vaccines Were Approved In December 2020

First, I think it is important to remember that the US FDA issued emergency use authorisations for the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines on 11 December 2020, and 18 December 2020 respectively.

The US FDA subsequently issued full authorisations for both Pfizer and Moderna monovalent mRNA vaccines on May 10, 2021, and January 21, 2022 respectively.

This is important to know because since their introduction in December 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has evolved into many variants like Delta and Omicron, and even more subvariants like XBB.

Fact #2 : Pfizer + Moderna Introduced Bivalent Vaccines In 2022

Thanks to evolutionary pressures, these variants and subvariants have evolved to evade the protections offered by both vaccines and natural immunity from a prior infection.

To combat these new variants, Pfizer and Moderna developed bivalent mRNA vaccines, which target both the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as the newer and much more infectious Omicron variant.

Fact #3 : US FDA Did Not Ban Pfizer + Moderna Vaccines

Just to be clear – the US FDA did not ban the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

The FDA only announced that the monovalent Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are no longer authorised for use in the United States, because there are now better bivalent Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration amended the emergency use authorizations (EUAs) of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent mRNA vaccines to simplify the vaccination schedule for most individuals.

This action includes authorizing the current bivalent vaccines (original and omicron BA.4/BA.5 strains) to be used for all doses administered to individuals 6 months of age and older, including for an additional dose or doses for certain populations. The monovalent Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines are no longer authorized for use in the United States.

Fact #4 : US FDA Removed EUA For Pfizer + Moderna Monovalent Vaccines

The FDA also clarified later that the monovalent Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines remain approved. The FDA did not rescind the approval of the monovalent vaccines. It only remove the emergency use authorisation for the monovalent vaccines.

It’s probably worth clarifying that the monovalent vaccines are still approved (licensed). That hasn’t changed. But they are no longer authorized for *emergency use* in the United States.

Fact #5 : US FDA Simplified COVID-19 Vaccinations

I should also take this opportunity to point out that the US FDA just simplified COVID-19 vaccinations using the new bivalent Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.

Instead of getting two doses of the monovalent vaccine, and then getting one or two booster doses of the bivalent vaccine, the FDA now recommends getting just one bivalent vaccine dose.

Most individuals, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, may receive a single bivalent vaccine dose.

Individuals 65 years and older, or immunocompromised, may receive up to two bivalent vaccine doses.

Children 6 months through 5 years old may receive two doses of the bivalent Moderna vaccine.

Children 6 months through 4 years old may receive three doses of the bivalent Pfizer vaccine. Children 5 years old may receive a single dose of the bivalent Pfizer vaccine.

The new FDA recommendation is based on data that shows that most of the US population 5 years and older have protection from COVID-19, either through vaccination or a prior infection.

After news broke that Jamie Foxx was hospitalised from a medical complication, people immediately claimed that the Hollywood actor, comedian and singer, suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm from a COVID-19 vaccine injury!

William Makis MD : Brain Aneurysms as a serious and common COVID-19 mRNA vaccine injury in young people – Part 2

14 tragic cases including actor Jamie Foxx. Early reports suggest Jamie Foxx had a brain aneurysm & bleed. He was COVID-19 vaccinated. #DiedSuddenly #cdnpoli #ableg

Natural Immunity FTW : Yes, he was vaxxed. A movie set Jamie Foxx worked on in 2021 required the entire cast to be fully vaccinated.

The Sly Show : Jamie Foxx Is 100% Vaccine Injured

Erin Elizabeth Health Nut News : I told y’all that it would take a famous celeb like Jamie Foxx having a huge medical emergency & me merely mentioning that he was vaccinated to get the attention of the extreme woke left because they are getting fookin nervous about all those boosters they had.

Truth : Jamie Foxx Did Not Suffer Ruptured Aneurysm From Covid-19 Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Jamie Foxx Suffered A Medical Emergency

Jamie Foxx (born Eric Marlon Bishop on December 13, 1967) was in Atlanta, Georgia filming his Netflix movie, Back in Action with Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close, when he suffered a “medical emergency” on April 11, 2023.

The medical emergency apparently occurred off the set, and he was taken to a hospital. It was his daughter, 29 year-old actress Corinne Foxx, who first announced his condition to the world:

From the Foxx Family:

We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.

We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.

Much love,
The Foxx Family

Fact #2 : No Evidence Jamie Foxx Suffered A Ruptured Aneurysm

While people are speculating that Jamie Foxx suffered a ruptured aneurysm like Tom Sizemore, there is no evidence of that at all.

A source close to the family actually told Media Take Out that Foxx suffered a brain bleed that was discovered when he sought medical attention for headaches. The source also said that doctors consider the bleed to be minor, and that Jamie Foxx is expected to make a full recovery.

In other words, Jamie Foxx went to get a check-up after suffering headaches, and his doctors discovered that he was suffering from a small intracerebral haemorrhage – a minor stroke basically.

Nowhere was it ever stated by his family, or a close family friend / source, that Jamie Foxx suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm. In fact, a source told CNN that doctors were still trying to figure out what happened:

They are running tests and still trying to figure out what exactly happened.

Fact #3 : Jamie Foxx Is Awake + Alert

It appears that Jamie Foxx’s medical emergency was severe enough that he was either unconscious, or unable to communicate. But his condition has improved since then:

He’s communicating now, and that’s good news.

A source close to the family told People Magazine on Saturday, 22 April 2023, that Jamie Foxx is awake and alert, and doing well. However, he remains in the hospital as doctors run tests.

He’s OK, thank God. He’s still in the hospital and octors are running tests, but he is awake and alert. They are keeping him under observation.

His friend, fellow comedian and actor Martin Lawrence also shared that Foxx is “doing better”.

Fact #4 : Jamie Foxx Was Likely Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is currently unknown if Jamie Foxx was vaccinated against COVID-19, as he has never publicly mentioned his vaccination status.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, and many people like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley and Stephan Bonnar who “died suddenly” were never vaccinated.

That said, Jamie Foxx was likely fully vaccinated by July 2021, as he joined action-thriller film God is a Bullet, which required its cast to be fully-vaccinated.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Jamie Foxx was vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses almost two years ago.

He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Create A Brain Aneurysm

Just in case there is any doubt, COVID-19 vaccines cannot create a brain aneurysm.

An aneurysm is a physical weakening of an artery in the brain, that bulges into a blood-filled balloon. Small aneurysms generally do not produce any symptoms unless they rupture. Large ones, however, may exert pressure on nearby nerves and tissues causing symptoms like numbness, weakness, paralysis, etc.

When an aneurysm ruptures, the person will experience a sudden and extremely severe headache and even vomiting and seizures, before losing consciousness. The resulting haemorrhage causes brain damage, leading to coma and even death.

Getting vaccinated does not increase your risk of developing brain aneurysms, but these risk factors will:

genetic predisposition, like connective tissue disorders, polycystic kidney disease, history of aneurysm in close family members
untreated hypertension (high blood pressure)
cigarette smoking
drug abuse, especially cocaine or amphetamines (because they raise blood pressure)
intravenous drug abuse, which causes infectious mycotic aneurysms
age over 40

As you can tell, Tom Sizemore definitely has two or more of those risk factors!

Fact #7 : Aneurysm is Not A Vaccine Side Effect

The claim that aneurysm is in the list of vaccine side effects is nonsense and based on the (intentional?) misunderstanding of the Adverse Events of Special interest (AESI) list.

The AESI list is not a list of vaccine side effects. It’s a list of mostly non-specific adverse events that are monitored post-vaccination, and includes COVID-19 and other infections, as well as:

manufacturing and lab test issues like “Manufacturing laboratory analytical testing issue, Manufacturing materials issue, Manufacturing production issue“.
product supply issues like “Product availability issue, Product distribution issue, Product supply issue“.

They are obviously not vaccine side effects, nor related in any way to the performance or safety of the vaccine.

Fact #8 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Prevent Other Illnesses

COVID-19 vaccines are designed to protect us against severe illness and death from COVID-19, by teaching our own immune system how to create antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

They, however, cannot protect us against other causes of death, whether it’s pneumonia, cardiac arrest or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people can and will suffer from other illnesses.

Even if Jamie Foxx was fully-vaccinated, it is ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blame his “brain bleed” on the vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.

Fact #9 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Did Pfizer Ignore Vaccine Autoimmune Adverse Events?!

Leave a reply

Did Pfizer ignore evidence that their COVID-19 vaccine caused many autoimmune adverse events?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Pfizer Ignored COVID-19 Vaccine Autoimmune Adverse Events!

People are sharing an article by DailyClout, which claims to have found evidence that immune-mediated or autoimmune adverse events in a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine document were ignored!

Here is their long article for reference. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

1,077 Immune-Mediated/Autoimmune Adverse Events in First 90 Days of Pfizer mRNA “Vaccine” Rollout, Including 12 Fatalities. Pfizer Undercounted This Category of Adverse Events by 270 Occurrences.

The War Room/DailyClout Pfizer Documents Analysis Project Post-Marketing Group (Team 1) – Joseph Gehrett, MD; Barbara Gehrett, MD; Chris Flowers, MD; and Loree Britt – wrote an important review of immune-mediated/autoimmune adverse events found in Pfizer document 5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Reports of PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) Received Through 28-FEB-2021 (a.k.a., “5.3.6“). This category is comprised of the numerous diseases resulting from disordered immune attacks against tissues of any of the body’s organs. However, it excludes anaphylaxis which has its own separate report, as well as autoimmune diseases attaching nerve tissue (e.g., Guillain-Barré), which have been explored in other 5.3.6 neurological and musculoskeletal reports.

It is important to note that the adverse events (AEs) in the 5.3.6 document were reported to Pfizer for only a 90-day period starting on December 1, 2020, the date of the United Kingdom’s public rollout of Pfizer’s COVID-19 experimental mRNA “vaccine” product.

Highlights of this report include:

Twelve immune-mediated/autoimmune adverse events were fatal.
Of adverse events with gender specified, 77% (526) were female, and 23% (156) were male – a female to male ratio of 3.4 to 1.
Ages of affected patients were 19% elderly, 71% adult, <1% adolescent, and 10% not reported.
Time from vaccination to onset was given for 75% of events with a range of 24 hours to 30 days. Half started within 24 hours of injection.
Only immune-mediated/autoimmune diseases or conditions with over 10 cases are included in Pfizer’s reporting, leaving out 270 adverse events of this type. Thus, adverse events in this category were undercounted by Pfizer.
Adverse events in this group include:
- Hypersensitivity (which is not further defined, though it accounts for 55% of the AEs.
- Peripheral neuropathy, which often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet, and can also affect other areas and body functions including digestion, urination, and circulation.
- Pericarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart).
- Myocarditis (immune attack against the heart muscle).
- Encephalitis (brain inflammation disorders).
- Diabetes.
- Psoriasis.
- Dermatitis.
- Blistering Skin disorder.
- Autoimmune disorder.
- Raynaud’s phenomenon.
Immune rejection of transplanted organs was not mentioned whether from there being zero instances of it or, perhaps, because there were 10 or fewer instances.

Pfizer concluded, “This cumulative case review does not raise new safety issues. Surveillance will continue.” However, as of the date of this report, 25.5 months after the completion of Pfizer’s post-marketing analysis, no additional safety data has been released to the public.

Truth : Pfizer Did Not Ignore COVID-19 Vaccine Autoimmune Adverse Events!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : This Document Was First Released In Nov. 2021

First, let me just point out that the Pfizer 5.3.6 Postmarketing Experience document was first released by the FDA to the PHMPT (Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency) group, with three small pieces of information redacted on 17 November 2021.

The FDA later decided that the redacted information wasn’t confidential after all, and reissued the same document in full on 1 April 2022. You can read more about this here.

The redacted information have no bearing on this current issue, so it looks like the DailyClout team took about 17 months to scour through this 9-page document. Impressive.

Fact #2 : Adverse Event Data In That Document Was Global

I don’t know if DailyClout was trying to be misleading when it mentioned the United Kingdom rollout, or it was just referring to the start of the adverse event monitoring.

Just to be clear – the adverse event data in the Pfizer 5.3.6 document includes reported US and foreign adverse events, as stated in the last paragraph of its introduction.

This document provides an integrated analysis of the cumulative post-authorization safety data, including U.S. and foreign post-authorization adverse event reports received through 28 February 2021.

Fact #3 : First Pfizer Vaccine Was Administered On 8 December 2020

DailyClout stated that December 1, 2020 was the date of the United Kingdom’s public rollout. That’s incorrect.

The first person in the world to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was Margaret Keenan, a 90 year-old UK grandmother, who received it at 6:31 AM GMT, on 8 December 2020.

The Pfizer 5.3.6 document clearly states, in 3 different locations, that the 1 December 2020 date referred to “the first temporary authorization for emergency supply” under Regulation 174 in the UK.

In other words, 1 December 2020 was the date when Pfizer was authorised to supply their COVID-19 vaccine to the United Kingdom. It was not the start of the UK vaccination programme, which only started a week later – on 8 December 2020.

Fact #4 : Adverse Events Are Not Side Effects

I should now point out that adverse events are not side effects. Adverse events are “unfavourable” or “unintended” events that happen after vaccination or taking a drug, like having an anaphylactic reaction or getting into a car accident.

As Pfizer noted in Page 6, the large number of adverse event reports (AERs) do not necessarily mean that they are actually caused by the vaccine. In fact, open reporting systems like VAERS and Yellow Card are notably open to abuse, and false reporting.

That’s why reported adverse events have to be investigated to find out if they are related (anaphylactic reaction) or not (getting into a car accident) to the vaccine or drug that was taken.

Only once an adverse event is confirmed to be caused by the vaccine, is it then a vaccine side effect. Otherwise, it is merely an adverse event, not a side effect.

In other words – the adverse events in the Pfizer vaccine document are not vaccine injury reports.

Fact #5 : 11X More People Died Of COVID-19

DailyClout highlighted that “twelve immune-mediated/autoimmune adverse events were fatal”, but interestingly, did not point out that the same document showed that 136 people died from COVID-19.

I should pointed out that those twelve immune-mediated / autoimmune adverse events were not verified to be caused by the vaccine.

But even if we assume that they all were caused by the Pfizer vaccine, the data in the 5.3.6 document showed that you are 11 ⅓ times more likely to die from COVID-19 than an autoimmune adverse event.

Fact #6 : It Was A List Of Most Frequently Reported AEs

DailyClout claimed that Pfizer undercounted autoimmune adverse events, but that’s not true.

The Pfizer report specifically mentioned that 1,050 immune-mediated / autoimmune adverse events were reported, of which 760 were medically confirmed, and 290 were not.

It then goes on to list the “most frequently reported” adverse events, which was defined as “>10 occurrences“. That doesn’t mean Pfizer “ignored” them. The remaining 221 cases were still accounted for.

The report was just listing the “most frequently reported” adverse events! It wouldn’t be a list of the “most frequently reported” adverse event if it listed every adverse event!

The cut-off point of 10 occurrences appear to have been chosen because such adverse events would account for less than 1% of all reports. Not very frequent then, is it?

Fact #7 : Scary Photos Are Of Raynaud’s Phenomenon

The DailyClout article used scary looking photos of discoloured hands. Those are actually photos of patients suffering from Raynaud syndrome, which is also known as Raynaud’s phenomenon.

Raynaud’s phenomenon is actually mentioned in the Pfizer 5.3.6 document. It’s listed as one of the more common reported adverse events, albeit just making the cut at 11 reports (1%).

Fact #8 : Raynaud’s Phenomenon Was First Described In 1862

Just to be clear – Raynaud’s phenomenon is not new. It was named after Auguste Gabriel Maurice Raynaud, who first described it in his doctoral thesis in 1862.

Raynaud syndrome is often idiopathic – it develops spontaneously, typically between 15 and 30 years in age and more commonly in female.

The secondary type is less common, and is associated with other autoimmune diseases like lupus or scleroderma, generally affecting older people.

Raynaud’s phenomenon is also pretty common – affecting some 4% of people globally. Hence, a 1% reporting rate is far lower than the background rate, and would rule out the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine as a cause of Raynaud’s phenomenon.

There is certainly no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine causes Raynaud’s phenomenon. So DailyClout likely used these photos for its “shock value”.

Fact #9 : These Are Old Photos From Wikipedia

You may think that these are the hands of people who developed Raynaud’s phenomenon after getting the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

The truth is – these Raynaud’s phenomenon photos are not new. In fact, they date back to at least 2011, and Wikipedia was the source!

Fact #10 : No New Safety Concerns Despite 158K Adverse Event Reports

The Pfizer document noted after shipping 126 million doses, 42 thousand people reported over 158,000 adverse events in the first 3 months.

Even if we assume that they are all genuine, only 0.033% of people who received the Pfizer vaccine reported at least one adverse event. That’s 1 in 3,000 people.

And yet, despite so many reported adverse events, their investigation showed that the “data do not reveal any novel safety concerns or risks“.

Pfizer could only confirm that anaphylaxis is an important risk of the COMIRNATY vaccine.

In other words – the 158K adverse events were weighed, measured… and found wanting. There was NO NEW SAFETY CONCERN with the vaccine!

Are Doctors Encouraging Vaccine Injections In Penis?!

Leave a reply

Are doctors really encouraging male patients to get the COVID-19 vaccine through penis injections?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Doctors Encourage COVID-19 Vaccine Injections In Penis!

People are sharing a screenshot of a CNN article that apparently shows that doctors are encouraging male patients to get the COVID-19 vaccine through penis injections!

Doctors are discovering that, for male patients, the penis offers the fastest release of the vaccine throughout the body. Based on findings from a University of California study involving 1,500 men who received the vaccine.

100% of Leftist doctors agree, the best way for White, Western, Christian men to commence with their subversive “accidental” sterilization plan for depopulation is repeated C0vid vaxxes in the bits.
Why waste all that time circulating through the body when you can go directly to…

If ur still trying to inject ur body after all the fkry that has been revealed in the last 3 years … Go and poison ur dick baby.

Insanity has taken over the world of medicine….trust the science my arse….

Truth : Doctors Are Not Encouraging COVID-19 Vaccine Injections In Penis!

This is just another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on social media platforms, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : This Is Old Fake News

First, let me just point out that this is actually OLD fake news, which has been circulating since January 2021 – soon after the COVID-19 vaccines were first approved, and started being given worldwide.

Fact #2 : There Is No Such CNN Article

Just in case this is not obvious – there is no such CNN article. You can look it up on the CNN website for yourself, and there are many obvious clues in the viral screenshot:

It is not a video, so why is there a CNN Live TV chyron?
CNN uses a sans serif (without serifs) font based on the Helvetica font, called CNN Sans. The fake CNN screenshot used a serif font.
There are style errors – covid-19 (instead of Covid-19), and the use of full stops in the title
It lacks the any byline, dateline or placeline, which appear in all CNN articles

Fact #3 : There Is No Such University of California Study

Just to be clear – there is no such study by the University of California.

Fact #4 : Doctor In Photo Called It Fake News

The doctor in the viral CNN screenshot is New York-based Dr. Mohitkumar Ardeshana, who called the viral screenshot “fake” in January 2021:

The article is completely fake. I have not said anything about such a study. It is a work of mischief by someone.

Fact #5 : Penis Injection Was For Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

I traced the image of a penis injection, and found that it was likely taken from a Spectrum Health Lakeland article on erectile dysfunction treatments.

Medication injected into the side of the penis causes an erection.

The drawing was attributed to Mary Ann Zapalac, with the copyright belonging to The StayWell Company.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccine Injections Are Intramuscular

So far, all of the approved COVID-19 vaccines are meant to be injected intramuscularly – deep into the deltoid muscle.

The penis is a vascular organ, but only for the purpose of developing an erection. Even so, it is designed to trap blood flow during an erection. Hence, it is not a good site to inject a vaccine.

The intramuscular injection site is the most common method of administering vaccines, as muscles have good vascularity. This allows the injected drug / vaccine to reach systemic circulation quickly, bypassing the first-pass metabolism.

The intramuscular injection for COVID-19 vaccines should be given within the safe white triangle area of the upper arm, into the deltoid muscle.

Fact #7 : Wrongly Injecting Vaccine Can Cause Problems

Vaccine manufacturers advise healthcare professionals to avoid injecting the COVID-19 vaccines intravascularly (into the vein), subcutaneously (under the skin layer), or intradermally (into the skin), as that can cause problems.

Subcutaneous fat, for example, have poor vascularity, so injecting a vaccine there will result in slow mobilisation and processing of the antigens, leading to vaccine failure.

The vaccine antigens may also be denatured (destroyed) by enzymes if they remain subcutaneously or intradermally for a prolonged period. Subcutaneous and intradermal injections can also lead to localised cellulitis, granuloma formation, and abscess.

In short – injecting the COVID-19 vaccine into the penis and anything but the deltoid muscle, is not encouraged at all!

Fact #8 : This Is Just COVID-19 Vaccine Fake News

This is just another example of fake news created about the COVID-19 vaccines. Here are just some of the most recent examples that I looked into:
