WHAT DOCTORS
DON’T TELL YOU
SPECIAL REPORT WWW.WDDITY.COM - FEBRUARY 2021
[MAGAZINE PAGE 26/27]
It’s a bad day for
company public relations when two
people suffer severe allergic reactions on Day One of your new
product’s highly publicized roll-out.
Troubles had just begun for the
vaccine meant to save the world from the pandemic, however. Five days later, a
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) epidemiologist named Thomas
Clark was presenting internal data on the thousands of` people who got Pfizer’s
much-ballyhooed Covid-19 vaccine and had reported “health
impact events.”
Among the first 215,362
Americans to roll up their sleeves for the shot, 5,052 developed adverse
effects defined as “unable to perform normal daily
activities, unable to work, required care from a doctor or healthcare
professional.” [1] That amounts to a
staggering 2.3 percent of injections, or one in 43
people that experience a significant short-term health impact.
Health authorities in the
Within days, two more reports of
Covid vaccine shock in healthcare workers came from a single hospital in
Public health says vaccines are ‘safe and effective.’ Period. A rising tide of
heartbreaking stories of vaccine injury that mainstream
media
won’t report and a growing medical literature on adverse
events suggest they have something to hide.
Celeste McGovern investigates
One woman, who reportedly had no
precious allergic history, was given a dose of epinephrine and put on a drip of
steroids to combat her immune hypersensitivity to the shot. Doctors removed the
drip when her symptoms abated, but the reaction began again. She was
re-medicated and hospitalized overnight.
It was early days of the launch,
but already the COVID vaccine
picture was looking a smudge less rosy than health agencies and the media had
been proclaiming for months. Severe allergic reactions are “one-in-a-million,” government overseer Paul Offit
of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Vaccines and Related Biological
Products Advisory Committee said confidently in the week leading up to the
launch. Nothing to worry about.

Just how prevalent are allergic
reactions to vaccines? Are all cases being reported? Is there some particularly
allergy - inducing ingredient in this vaccine (see box, page 35)? Did some
people have attacks after they left the hospital? What about the booster shots
that public health is already saying will be more reactive?
The UK’s Medicines and
Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency issued an advisory saying that people
with a history of a “significant allergic reaction to a
vaccine, medicine or food should not receive Pfizer’s vaccine” and
added that “resuscitation facilities should be
available at all times for all vaccinations.” That didn’t stop them from setting up a “drive-through vaccination centre” in
Serious anaphylactic reactions
usually happen within minutes or hours of an offending foreign agent entering
the body, but they are the tip of a very large iceberg of immune-mediated diseases.
Most allergies and other immune conditions have long simmering periods before
they manifest as full-blown disease.
What happens in the hours, days,
months and years after an immune system is chemically altered
by vaccination? What besides allergy can go wrong and how often does it happen?
Eight researchers from six
countries including Georgia Institute of Technology research affiliate Ronald
Kostoff, University of Bari professor of biochemistry Darja Kanduc: and leading
Israeli immunologist Yehuda Shoenfeld tackle that question in a 2020 paper
published in Toxicology Reports voicing
their concerns about the fast-tracked experimental COVID vaccine. [3]
“Numerous
mid - and longer-term potential issues concerning vaccines have been identified,” they
say, listing 16 mechanisms known to be problematic after vaccination, including: “antibody-dependent
enhancement,” “chronic immune activation,” “cross-reactivity” and “impact of combinations of toxic stimuli” on the
immune system.
People respond differently to
vaccines depending on their prior history of vaccinations and natural
infections, their exposures to toxins before and after vaccination, their
nutritional status and the route of infection, the researchers note.
Their paper also describes how
both vaccine and natural viruses can share molecules with human proteins that
might trigger immune responses against not only the virus but also the human
proteins, causing autoimmune disease. Research shows that “latency periods can range from days to years for
post-infection and post-vaccination autoimmunity,” and
they point to autoimmune and neurological diseases in the biomedical literature
that are “triggered by vaccinations.”

INFORMATION SECTION 1]
‘Physicians need to be aware’
[There’s an
entire medical textbook, Vaccines and Autoimmunity
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015), in which dozens of researchers and doctors survey the
literature linking vaccines to autoimmune diseases from alopecia to ulcerative
colitis. It is mostly inconclusive, yet full of statements like this: “The various vaccines given to children, as well as adults,
may contain either whole weakened infectious agents or synthetic peptides and
genetically engineered antigens of infectious agents, and adjuvants (typically
aluminium). In addition, they also contain diluents, preservatives (thimerosal,
formaldehyde), detergents (polysorbate) and residuals of culture growth media (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, gelatin, bovine extract, monkey kidney
tissue, etc.... The safety of the residuals has not been thoroughly
investigated ... However, some studies suggest that even these trace amounts
may not be inherently safe as was previously assumed.”
“Physicians
need to be aware,” the text continues, “that in certain individuals, vaccinations can trigger
serious and potentially disabling and even fatal autoimmune manifestations.”]
[PAGE 29]
A 2019 forensic study of 32 cases of sudden infant death syndrome
found that more than one in five deaths occurred within
seven days of vaccination
Catalogue of disease
PubMed - a
biomedical research database run by the National Institutes of Health - houses
hundreds of case reports and studies where vaccination is a suspected or
confirmed cause in a catalogue of illnesses. A smattering of
these include reports of children who have died from the virus in a
vaccine vial - test-confirmed fatal infection with vaccine chickenpox, for
example. [4]
One 2008 paper investigated the case
of a three-month-old baby who died within 24 hours of vaccination. The Italian
researchers used immunohistochemical and other laboratory tests not used
routinely in post-mortem exams and concluded that “acute respiratory failure likely due to post hexavalent
immunization-related shock was the cause of death.” [5]
How often does this happen? Sudden
unexplained death is a leading cause of infant mortality in developed nations. [6]
A 2019
forensic study of 32 cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS, a term for
deaths of babies with no obvious reason) found that 21.9 percent of them- more
than one in five deaths - occurred within seven days of vaccination.
The
researchers examined three babies who died within three days of receiving shots
and found common immunological evidence between all three suggesting a
plausible role for vaccination in their deaths. “The important question of
whether the disorders are truly related to [PAGE 30’31] “vaccination remains.” They
concluded. [7]
It’s not
just babies and children in the medical literature of adverse vaccine case
reports. One paper describes a previously healthy 79-year-old woman who went
deaf in both ears two days after an influenza shot. [8] Another
case report describes a man going blind in both eyes after a swine flu vaccine.
[9] The British Medical Journal reported a case of a 36-year-old
active serviceman who developed serious heart disease
(myocarditis) after smallpox vaccination, which has been linked to the disease
repeatedly. [10]
Another study in the journal Vaccine (the journal of the vaccine
industry) reveals that in the days after they receive a measles vaccine,
thousands of children (0. 8 percent or nearly one in 100 of those vaccinated) are taken to a hospital with fevers and seizures. [11]
Parents are
told to expect mild symptoms within two weeks of the shot, but these “medically attended” fevers are evidently not
so mild. Apparently, even doctors have a hard time distinguishing “vaccine-associated rash illness” from the
real measles, as there are a number of cases where only genetic testing
confirms which is which. [12]
Neurological disorders
Multiple studies confirm more
than 1,400 cases of the brain disorder narcolepsy-cataplexy that resulted from
a discontinued vaccine used in the H1N1 swine flu pandemic a decade ago. [13]
It may surprise some people that
the World Health Organization acknowledges that virtually all polio left in the
world today is spread by a vaccine virus. Circulating
vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) is the source of
dozens of outbreaks in at least 21 countries and responsible for hundreds of
cases of paralyzing poliomyelitis, mostly among poor children. [14]
Studies link vaccination
directly to other paralyzing diseases too, like Gufflain-Barre
syndrome, [15] transverse myelitis (the frightening disorder that derailed Astra Zeneca’s COVID vaccine trial in September) [16] and a
host of other “demyelinating” central
nervous system disorders. [17]
One review paper looks at 29
case studies of blistering rashes and the horrendous, potentially fatal and
blinding skin-shedding diseases Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal
necrolysis following vaccination. [18] These may be rare
conditions, but autoimmune diseases are a growing phenomenon affecting up to
one in five people globally, and a stack of studies link autoimmunity to
vaccination.
One 2019 review paper catalogues
500 cases of autoimmune diseases, from rheumatoid arthritis and acute
disseminated encephalomyelitis to painful giant cell arthritis and optic
neuritis, reported by doctors as triggered by vaccination. [19] Other
case reports document a horrific blistering autoimmune skin disease, buflous pemphigoid, in infants
after multiple vaccinations, [20] the skin disease Sweet’s
syndrome in a man after pneumococcal vaccination, [21] and
systemic lupus erythematosus after vaccination against HPV in girls and women, [22] for
example.
No
science has been done to see if these powerful immune-modulating
formulas have any role in the current
skyrocketing
rates of cancer and infertility
Now many others?
Larry Cook started collating
dozens of “coincidences” like
Bear’s (see box, page 33 [SECTION 2]) on the
website for his group Stop Mandatory Vaccination (www.stopmandatoryvaccination.com).
He created a Facebook page devoted to them, and when it started to get a lot of
traffic, the mainstream media caught wind of the campaign.
Suddenly, he says, he was the
target of dozens of news articles accusing him of “dangerous;” “anti-vaxx” lies and claiming he was
responsible for children dying from medical neglect. Facebook, in turn,
shuttered his group, with 200,000-plus followers, from its platform. Twitter
followed suit.
Hundreds of websites share
stories of vaccine injury around the world, though. One of the most well-known is VAXXED, which
shares its name with the documentary about CDC whistleblower William Thomson,
who admitted to the father of an autistic child that his team of scientists
shredded data showing an increased risk of autism following MMR vaccination.
Nearly 126,000 people have
shared their harrowing stories of vaccine injury and deaths via the VAXXED website (www.vaxxed.com) and YouTube channel.
These nightmare injury stories suggest the potential for more subtle and easily
missed damage that vaccines may do in altering the natural immune system,
particularly in children who receive 70-plus doses of 16 diseases before the
age of 18.
If vaccines can cause serious
brain and autoimmune disorders, what else can they do? (See box, page 37)
The trouble with vaccine trials
“Vaccines
do not appear to have the same safety requirements as many drugs,” write
the authors of the Toxicology Reports paper. Most
pharmaceutical package inserts on vaccines - MMR II, influenza vaccine,
diphtheria-tetanus and HPV, for example - declare that their product has “not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic: potential” or its “potential to impair fertility.” In other
words, no science has been done to see if these
powerful immune-modulating formulas have any role in the current skyrocketing
rates of cancer and infertility.
“Long-term
safety studies of vaccines are rare,” the researchers add. “The typical vaccine study is aimed at efficacy. Such studies
tend to be a few months long, and the main evaluation criterion is titters of
antibody in the serum.” You can’t see
long-term effects in short-term data,
Clinical vaccine trials also
exclude people with underlying conditions. Anyone with allergies, autoimmune
diseases, illnesses like diabetes and heart [PAGE 32/33] disease along with the frail and elderly is
screened out. Only a real-world roll-out can
reveal just how these people will react.
“You’re only going to find a rare, serious event
post-approval. That’s definite,” vaccinologist Offit told the
editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association the week before the launch of
the Covid-19 vaccine. Quoting the “Father
of Vaccinology” Maurice Hilleman, he added: “I never quite breathe a sigh of relief until the first three
million doses are out there.” [23]
So, while
the first three million people to get a jab are the real-world experiment,
public health doctors say that a sophisticated “post-marketing”
surveillance system is in place to catch danger signals. In the
The trouble with VAERS
VAERS was
created at the time US Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine
Injury Act of 1986, which gave pharmaceutical companies blanket protection from
lawsuits over injuries from childhood vaccines at a time of public fear about
brain damage from the pertussis vaccine. (Similar blanket liability exists in
most countries.)
Between 1990 and mid-November
2019, 8,087 vaccine-related deaths were reported to
VAERS, nearly half of them among children under three years old, according to
the National Vaccine Information Centre (NVIC). [24] There
were more than 17,394 reports to VAERS of permanent disability following
vaccinations in the same time frame.
Doctors are supposed to report
any adverse event following vaccination to VAERS, but it is a “passive reporting” system that most doctors have
not even heard about. Like most passive reporting systems, VAERS has a serious
problem with under-reporting.
A groundbreaking study from
Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare looked at actual diagnostic codes in the records of
people up to 30 days after vaccination and found that less than 1 percent of
vaccine adverse events that should have been reported
to VAERS actually were.
“In
other words, the actual numbers of adverse reactions to vaccines are one to two orders of magnitude higher than those reported in VAERS,” write
the authors of the Toxicology Reports paper.
That would mean there were more
like 808,700 vaccine-related deaths since 1990, says NVIC.
Similarly, the number of vaccine-
related disabilities is closer to 1,739,400
since 1990. What’s more, the Toxicology Reports paper authors note,
since the study only looked at single vaccination appointments and only for one
month, serious long-term immunological reactions like autoimmunity are
completely missed. “One can only conclude that a
negligible fraction of long-term adverse events is reported in a passive
monitoring system like VAERS.”
The
actual numbers of adverse reactions to vaccines
are one to two orders of magnitude higher
than those reported in VAERS

[The short life of Bear
In pictures, Berit
“Bear” Bliss is an adorable infant with an
impish grin. “He was smiling and rolling over and
was really alert. Bear was a cuddle bug,” his mother, Anne says. “He loved to be held.” Bear was born on January
29, 2015. The following day he was vaccinated against
hepatitis B - a disease that affects one in 100,000 Americans and for which the
most common risk factor is intravenous drug abuse.
His next round of vaccines was
at his two-month check-up. Anne recalls having a “gut feeling”
she shouldn’t vaccinate Bear before she went to her appointment, and she
objected to the number of shots - six separate needles containing eight disease
antigens. But the paediatrician assured her that it
was routine.
After his shots, Bear slept
almost all day. “I had to wake him up to feed him;
that was very unusual,” Anne recalls. He also
cried and wanted to be held more than usual. At 3 a.m. on March 28, Bear was
asleep on Anne’s chest in her bed because he had been fussing. She set him down
on his back and went to the bathroom. He was asleep. When she returned to pick
him up, he was limp. “I screamed.”
Anne’s husband woke up and
immediately started doing CPR on the baby. Anne called 911 and, forgetting her
address as they had recently moved, told the dispatcher to call the hospital
two minutes away to expect them. “By the
time we got there, he had blood running out of his nose. They got him back and
lost him several times. That beeping sound still to this day makes me feel like
my heart is being ripped out of my chest.”
The next morning a doctor told
the couple that Bear would not recover and was not getting enough oxygen. The
20-year-old mother and her husband had to make “the
hardest decision ever. We decided to take him off of
the machine and hold him while he took his last breaths. At 10:13 am, he was pronounced dead.
“Those
months following, and still to this day, are sometimes
unbearable.”
Anne waited four months before a
coroner ruled Bear had died of SIDS - and that the eight vaccinations he’d received not two days before were “just a coincidence.”]
Real risk: one in 39
“It’s a
completely different calculus than one-in-a-million,” Robert
Kennedy Jr, chairman of
Children’s Health Defence, told WDDTY. He also cites the
million-dollar 2010 Agency for Healthcare [PAGE 34/35] Research and Quality (AHRQ) study - which analyzed data on
1.4 million doses of 45 different vaccines administered to over 376,000
individuals between 2006 and 2009. The AHRQ used a new electronic surveillance
system (ESP-VAERS) that could detect adverse events from vaccines by digitally
counting clinician visits, diagnostic codes, prescriptions and vaccines rather
than voluntary VAERS reports, which often lack critical record-keeping data.
The system reported an adverse event rate of 2.6 percent - or one event for
every 39 vaccines administered. [25]
“If
those numbers are close to the truth - and they appear to be in comparison with
other clinical trials like the Gardasil trial in which 2.3 percent of
vaccinated girls developed autoimmune disease [26] - then the risks are much greater than the public health authorities and
pharmaceutical companies are claiming,” said
Kennedy.
Without
the truth about how many and what kind of adverse events
These
vaccines cause, the claim that they are ‘effective’
is
irrelevant, and that they are ‘safe’ is a lie
Broken system
“The
surveillance system is completely broken,” Kennedy adds, referring
to VAERS. What’s worse is that oversight agencies like
the CDC, charged with monitoring adverse events and protecting the public, know
there is a big problem but have turned a blind eye to the evidence.
The
ESP-VAERS was designed to replace the failed VAERS,
but when the results came in showing the staggering one-in-39 adverse event
rate, suddenly the CDC, responsible for implementing the program, went dark on
the researchers. Their final report states: “Unfortunately,
there was never an opportunity to perform system performance assessments
because the necessary CDC contacts were no longer available and the CDC
consultants responsible for receiving data were no longer responsive to our
multiple requests to proceed with testing and evaluation.”
In
December, Kennedy wrote a lengthy letter to David Kessler, co-chair of Joe
Biden’s Transition Covid-19 Advisory Board.
Kennedy detailed the problems with vaccine adverse event surveillance, which he
called “a direct threat to patient life
and public health,” and concluded: “Your
committee should not allow further rollout of Covid-19 vaccines until FDA’s capacities for monitoring long-term vaccine safety
are significantly improved.” [27]
The
COVID-19 campaign targets virtually everyone on the planet with an
extraordinarily experimental vaccine, but
Kennedy’s warning to Kessler could apply to each and all of the 70-plus vaccine
doses given to children or any vaccine for adults in the arsenal of public
health.
Without
the truth about how many and what kind of adverse events
these vaccines cause, public health’s claim that they are “effective” is
irrelevant, and that they are “safe” is a
lie.

[PEGylated

Harold Gielow had his first
allergic reaction when he was in his 20s, while on active duty aboard a
Over the
years he had skin reactions to various glue
substances, for example, but nothing serious until a few years ago, when he had
a severe anaphylactic reaction to preparatory medicines for colonoscopy.
“I
started itching all over; I had urticarial hives inside and out. My blood
pressure dropped rapidly, and then I passed out,” says
the 63-year-old retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. “It all happened in 60 seconds.” He was
taken to hospital by ambulance where he recovered.
Follow-up tests at
Even when Gielow has informed
doctors about his known allergy, they’ve prescribed
him drugs that don’t specify PEG on the label because it’s not required - and
he’s had allergic reactions. When talk of the new COVID-19 vaccine began,
Gielow was astonished to find that the top three vaccine candidates, including
those first approved from Pfizer and Moderna, contain PEG as a lipid
nanoparticle vector that carries the active messenger RNA into the body.
What’s more, he says, the
companies know it’s dangerous, used it anyway, and are
not informing doctors or the public.
Many recent studies confirm the
potentially deadly properties of PEG: it can stimulate anti-PEG antibody
production that can leave a person vunerable to an allergic reaction. A 216
study showed that 72 percent of the general population already has measurable
anti-PEG antibodies and concluded that this “underscores
the potential importance of screening patients for anti-PEG antibody levels
prior to administration of therapeutics containing PEG.” [1]
For example, in the case of
cancer drugs that are chemically linked to PEG (so-called PEGylation),
laboratory studies show that the immune-stimulating properties of PEG can
interfere with the effectiveness of the drug - quite the opposite of its
intended function. [2]
And it’s
not just cancer drugs, as PEG has become ubiquitous in drug delivery. A 2020
review of the literature on the dangerous “immunogenicity” of PEG
concludes that efforts are “urgently needed to design,
synthesize and evaluate new alternatives to PEG.” [3] Moderna even wrote about the dangers in a report to the
Securities Exchange Commission in 2018: “Certain aspects of our investigational
medicines may induce immune reactions from either the mRNA or the lipid as well
as adverse reactions within liver pathways or degradation of the mRNA or the
LNP [lipid nanoparticles], any of which could lead to significant adverse
events in one or more of our clinical trials. [4]
Lethal
anaphylactic reactions have been increasing in recent years without clearly
identified culprits, particularly in young people. [5]
Judging by
the anaphylactic shock reactions and the thousands of reported “health impact events” in response to Pfizer’s
PEGylated vaccine in the first days of its roll-out, Lt. Col Gielow thinks a
fatal reaction is inevitable: “I’m really worried
people are going to die from this.”]

[Vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children: who is healthier?
“Vaccine-free children reached milestones sooner, didn’t get
as sick as often, got over illness faster and were
far
healthier in every possible way compared
to their vaccinated siblings”
Across the globe, children
receive far more vaccinations than their parents and
grandparents did. For example, in the
Remarkably, no large-scale study
has ever compared the health outcomes of children who receive all of the
currently recommend childhood vaccinations against those who receive none,
which leaves an important question unanswered about the health impact of
vaccines on children generally: are vaccinated children, protected from common
childhood infections, healthier overall?
In November 2020, paediatrician
Paul Thomas and independent researcher James Lyons-Weiler
published their landmark study attempting to answer this question. [1] The
study compared the “relative incidence of office visits” (RIOV)
- a measure of days of required healthcare - of 3,324 paediatric patients who
received care in Thomas’s integrative paediatric practice over a 10-year
period. Of those, 2,763 had received at least one vaccine (variably vaccinated
group) and 561 had received no vaccines (unvaccinated group). The results were
astonishing.
* Children who were vaccinated required twice as much
healthcare time overall compared to unvaccinated children.
* There were a total of 34
vaccine-preventable infections among the unvaccinated children compared to just
seven in the vaccinated group. Most of these (23) were chickenpox. None of the
children in either group died.
* Remarkably, no unvaccinated children
developed the common childhood disorder attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD). Compared to the children who’d had the fewest vaccinations,
the children who had the most vaccinations visited the clinic for ADHD-related
issues over 53 times more often (ROIV = 53.74).
* Vaccinated children had 10 times as many doctor visits for
behavioural issues (ROIV: 10.28).
* Vaccinated children visited the doctor more often for ear
pain and otitis media (ear infection) (ROIV: 10,37 and 7.03, respectively).
Vaccinated children were treated more frequently for eye disorders (ROIV: 5.53).
* Vaccinated children required six times more healthcare for
anaemia than their unvaccinated peers (ROIV: 6.334).
* Vaccinated children were treated
three times more often for asthma than their unvaccinated peers (ROIV: 3.496).
* Vaccinated children were seen for allergic rhinitis (hay
fever) nearly 6.5 times more often than unvaccinated children in the practice
(ROIV: 6.479).
The study was unable to detect
differences in developmental disorders including autism, the biggest tempest in
the vaccine debate, perhaps because many patients in the practice ceased
vaccinating when they experienced adverse events and were
only partially vaccinated.
Larry
Cook, of the 200,000-member strong, now-shuttered Facebook group Stop Mandatory
Vaccination, says it’s also in keeping with what he heard from parents time and
again: “Their vaccine-free children reached
milestones sooner, didn’t get as sick as often, got over illness faster and
were far healthier in every possible way without chronic ailments compared to
their vaccinated siblings.”
Given
that American children are suffering from a soaring epidemic of chronic
immune-mediated illnesses including asthma, ADHD, autism and allergies with no
identified causes, you’d think public health would take
great interest in this research. Apparently, they did. Four days after he
published his study, health authorities in the state of

to be completed before deciding. Similar wariness has been recorded in
