How to restore trust in the CDC and FDA

There are many ways for the CDC and FDA to regain the trust of Americans. This article lists 20 ways.

I was not asked to speak at the conference, so I thought I’d prepare my list for people who attend.

More details here. You can still register. It is free.

Stop lying to people
Stop ignoring people who disagree with you: Answer questions/engage in meaningful dialog from people who disagree with you
Support data transparency: Show us all the data that you’ve been hiding instead of making us spend millions in lawsuits to release it (v-safe data for example). Don’t force us to use FOIA to have you release the safety signal information. And so on.
Condemn censorship: Instead of encouraging high tech companies to censor scientists, criticize them publicly if they censor alternative views.
Public accountability: Top leadership should accept debate challenges from qualified experts.
Replace the current leadership with people who are committed to the truth and data transparency
Ignore the people you listened to and listen to the people you ignored. Surely someone inside the FDA and CDC got it right. Those are the people you should be listening to.
Acknowledge all the past mistakes that have been made. For example, admit that fluoride in drinking water was a huge mistake, that vaccines cause autism, that thimerosal deposits in your brain, that the COVID vaccines were a disaster, that masks never worked, that you simply made up the 6 foot rule out of thin air, that lockdowns were a huge mistake, that masking kids was idiotic, that vaccinating kids was a grave mistake, that the vaccines cause severe injury and death, that the vaccine injured should be compensated, etc.
Rebuild the organizations from scratch. This may be required to restore trust.
Require solid science before making recommendations. Stop trusting “experts” and look at what the data says, including the anecdotal data. Instead of just trusting papers, double check it out with physicians on the front line to see if it is consistent. Also do polls. Trust but verify.
Replace the outside committee members with people who got it right on the COVID vaccines and who are not afraid to look at data that might be counter to their belief system. You need to get rid of all the current members. There isn’t a single person who got it right about the COVID vaccines, for example.
Establish an oversight commission for each agency. That commission should be headed by people like Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, etc. The oversight committee should have the power to replace any of the top management at any time.
Seek out ideas for improvements on a regular basis from qualified experts who are critical of the organization.
Require that clinical trials be carried out by qualified third party firms and have zero tolerance for protocol violations.
Reward and protect whistleblowers
Eliminate the liability protection for the vaccine manufacturers
Replace the inspector generals with people who realized that the COVID vaccines were a disaster.
Make it a criminal offense for these agency heads to misrepresent health data or make decisions that are not in the best interest of the public.
Make all the public health data publicly accessible to all.
Create special outside committees to recommend sweeping changes to the FDA, CDC, and NIH. These committees should be headed by and populated by experts who were calling these organizations out on their corruption.

Australia government numbers confirm rate of serious AE’s is >1 in 100 doses

I wrote recently about how the German Federal Minister of Health, Karl Lauterbach, acknowledged that the rate for serious injury after COVID vaccines is 1 in 10,000.

I pointed out that the rate is at least 100X more than that, i.e., well over 1 serious injury per 100 doses. This of course is a disaster.

There’s more proof from Western Australia official government reports that the injury rates are off the charts.

Here’s the article you want to read: West Australian (WA) government finally releases 2021 vaccine safety data: vaccines have been pulled from the market for far less than this

It’s a long article. Here are some of the highlights.

There was almost no Covid in WA in 2021, due to WA’s extreme zero covid policies. There was just the massive jab rollout in 2021. This makes it an interesting “control” group.
There were 2.4 cases of anaphylaxis per 100,000 first shots. But we know from the Blumenthal paper that the rate is 10X that number. This means that the injury data is under-reported by at least a factor of 10X for the most serious, obvious events. In my experience, for less obvious events, like death, an under reporting factor of 30X or more would be a good estimate. And for less serious events like myocarditis, we’d expect an under reporting factor (URF) of 100 or so.
The rates of myocarditis reported on Dose 1 were around 3 per 100,000. But we know from large studies like that in Switzerland that the rates are around 3 per hundred. Whoa!!!! This means that myocarditis was under reported by a factor of 1,000 which is 10X what I estimated in the previous point. So now we know that very serious AE’s can be under reported in this report by a factor of 1,000X. That’s stunning.
Check out this table below. It shows that the rate of adverse events reported were nearly 24X higher than for all other vaccines combined. In other words, the COVID vaccine is, roughly speaking, 24X times more “dangerous” than the average vaccine. In other words, it is not a safe vaccine. Not even close. It should be pulled from the market. It is generating adverse events at a rate 24X higher than “average.”
The adverse event reports started to skyrocket the instant the COVID vaccines were rolled out.

The “fact checkers” will argue that there were more events, but none of them were serious. That is patently false as 57% of AEFIs were treated in the emergency department (ED) or in the hospital. That is a DISASTER. It means that over half of the reported events were very serious. And the article notes: “This is in contrast to the TGA’s communications with me earlier this year, when a spokesperson stated, “Reassuringly, the majority of adverse event reports for COVID-19 vaccines have been for common, expected and frequently mild reactions.”” In other words, it is crystal clear that the health authorities lied to the public.
Most AEFIs (58%) were self-reported, with only 35% being reported by healthcare providers. In WA, it is a statutory requirement for health professionals to report AEFIs. However, it is likely that as of at least March 2021, medical professionals were reluctant to report AEFIs due to fear of reprisal from the regulator, AHPRA, whose March 2021 position statement expressly forbade medical professionals from taking any actions that could be perceived as undermining the Covid vaccination rollout. So this explains the 1,000 under reporting factor for myocarditis.
Those aged 30-49 were hit hardest, with AEFI rates of 314-316 per 100, 000 doses. So this is 3 AEs per 100 doses with URF of 10. But as we noted above, for most all events, the URF is likely 30 or more, so we are looking at a rate of adverse events of 1 per 10 shots. And since over half were very serious, we’re looking at a rate of at least 5 serious adverse events per 100 doses, i.e., over a 5% rate of serious adverse events. This is a catastrophe. It is comparable to the v-safe numbers where 8% required medical care after vaccination.
The swine flu vaccine (1976) was withdrawn for a rate of one serious case of Guillain-Barré syndrome per 100, 000 doses. But for the COVID vaccines, the number of people seriously injured or killed is irrelevant if one life might be saved from dying from COVID.
The report does not raise or address the possibility that an increased reporting rate (not raw numbers, but rate) could partly be due to the fact that the Covid vaccines cause more AEFIs than traditional vaccines. This is clear proof that the people interpreting the data are all brain dead. There is no other explanation. They blame all the numbers on over reporting and cite no evidence to back that up. It’s just like what the CDC does.
The article concludes with the observation that:

“The 2 sigma threshold is a warning signal that was clearly exceeded in 2021. This threshold was chosen by the WAVSS in their 2020 Annual Report, Fig. 2.
The chance of this happening randomly is less than 5% (and perhaps as low as 1.24%). Thus, the Covid Vaccines caused the high AEFI rate for 2021.”

The data from Western Australia is simply more evidence that the vaccines are too lethal to be used and should be immediately withdrawn.

But health decisions are not driven by data anymore.

We are supposed to do what we are told and we are supposed to believe the vaccines work even when they don’t.

Why KAATSU Is a Fitness Game Changer

Download Interview Transcript | Download my FREE Podcast

KAATSU, also known as blood flow restriction (BFR) training, involves partially obstructing blood flow to your extremities while exercising
The intermittent hypoxia generates an increase in anti-inflammatory myokines, the muscle version of cytokines, which in turn provides a whole host of beneficial hormonal responses
Aside from dramatically improving muscle tone and preventing sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), KAATSU is also a wonderful tool for post-surgical rehabilitation, allowing you to regain physical function in a fraction of the time that you would normally anticipate
It will also improve your metabolic flexibility, as it increases the number of glucose transporters that absorb blood sugar in your cell membranes
As a result, your insulin level won’t go up and you won’t develop insulin resistance which in turn lowers the risk for virtually every chronic degenerative disease
KAATSU is a specific type of BFR therapy, as it uses a device that automatically inflates and deflates the cuffs you place around your extremities. “Conventional” BFR uses static pressure from elastic or inflatable bands, and while that can provide benefits when used correctly, KAATSU’s cycling mode is far superior and provides biochemical benefits you cannot get from static pressure

Visit Mercola Market — **Advertisement**

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, which I perceive to be the greatest innovation in exercise training in the last century, was developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato in 1966. There, it’s known as KAATSU, which means “additional pressure.” KAATSU was brought to the U.S. just over a decade ago by Steven Munatones, after he completed a 13-year mentorship by Sato.

In summary, BFR involves partially obstructing blood flow to your extremities while exercising. This intermittent hypoxia generates an increase in anti-inflammatory myokines, the muscle version of cytokines, which in turn provides a whole host of beneficial hormonal responses.

Aside from dramatically improving muscle tone and preventing sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), KAATSU is also a wonderful tool for post-surgical rehabilitation, allowing you to regain physical function in a fraction of the time that you would normally anticipate.

Importantly, it will also improve your metabolic flexibility, so that you can seamlessly transition between burning fat and glucose as your primary fuel. It does this by increasing the number of glucose transporters, which absorb and lower your blood sugar in your cell membranes. As a result, your insulin level won’t go up and you won’t develop insulin resistance.

“’Conventional’ BFR uses static pressure from elastic or inflatable bands, and while that can provide benefits when used correctly, KAATSU’s cycling mode is far superior and provides biochemical benefits you cannot get from static pressure.”

KAATSU is really a specific type of BFR therapy, as it uses a device that automatically inflates and deflates the cuffs you place around your extremities. “Conventional” BFR uses static pressure from elastic or inflatable bands, and while that can provide benefits when used correctly, KAATSU is far superior for several reasons, which we’ll review here.

One of the reasons I’m so excited about KAATSU is it’s ability to help build muscle mass and prevent sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a progressive decline in muscle mass as you age, primarily due to the decrease in blood flow supply to muscle stem cells which are called satellite cells.

When your satellite cells don’t get the nourishment they require, it becomes very difficult to build muscle. Once you are over 50, this is always working against you, even if you’re doing hardcore resistance training. KAATSU solves this problem. It increases the blood supply to your satellite stem cells, which provides the necessary metabolic support needed to increase muscle protein synthesis and grow your muscles.

KAATSU has the added benefit of allowing older people, like me, to engage in relatively aggressive exercise with almost no risk of injury because you’re using very light weights, or if you’re frail and/or elderly, none at all. As explained by Munatones:

“KAATSU cycle is basically a very clever biohack that will allow the muscles to work and allow the vascular tissue to become more elastic. You don’t perceive the pain of heavy lifting, but your vascular tissue and muscle fibers are being worked out just as effectively, and you can do it for a longer period of time.
Putting the KAATSU bands on your legs and walking down to the beach, walking your dog or just walking around the neighborhood, standing, cleaning your windows of your house, folding your clothes, banging out emails, all of these things can be done with the KAATSU bands on your arms or legs. You’re getting the benefit of exercise.
Beta endorphins are being produced; hormones and metabolites are being produced as you’re doing simple things — and that is the way to get the older population in Japan, in the United States, around the world, to understand that you can stop sarcopenia, but you have to exercise. You don’t have to run a 10K, you don’t have to go down to Gold’s Gym. Just put on the KAATSU bands and live your life.”

As explained by Munatones, the KAATSU device inflates and deflates according to preset algorithms, creating pressure and releasing pressure at set intervals. In the standard KAATSU device, it’s 30 seconds of compression followed by five seconds of release, and each subsequent compression provides slightly more pressure.

This incremental increase in pressure is really where the magic lies, and it’s taken Sato more than 30 years of experimentation to find just the right “sweet spots” to trigger the greatest improvements.

“The second difference between standard BFR, as we know it in the physical therapy world, and KAATSU is the shape of the air bladder inside the band,” Munatones says. “With KAATSU, there is a narrow air bladder, and when it inflates, it inflates in an oval shape.
That oval shape means the pressure on the arterial flow is minimal, but the pressure on the Venus flow, from your limbs back to your torso, is much greater. That is the secret that Dr. Sato found. He wanted to engorge the vascular tissue of your limbs in blood. That’s the catalyst for all of these biochemical changes.”

This is why I no longer recommend using inexpensive BFR bands because conventional BFR will not produce benefits anywhere nearly as good. There’s risk of injury there, and you can’t get the same benefits. Unfortunately, many physical therapists still do not understand that BFR and KAATSU are really two different things. Munatones comments:

“The current state of the physical therapy market is more [focused on] muscle growth. Muscle hypertrophy is the goal of BFR. Sato and his team of cardiologists in Tokyo were also focused on muscle, but they were specifically focused on the vascular tissue. The key patent of Dr. Sato is the strengthening of the vascular tissue.
They knew that if they made our vascular tissue more elastic, basically antiaging, enabling our vascular tissue to be as elastic as it was when we were in our teens and our 20s, that would be a catalyst for hormonal production — everything from nitric oxide, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and hundreds of other beneficial myokines.
So, their focus was engorging the limb in blood to the point where your hands or feet get pink, rosy, and in some cases, if you’ve been doing it long enough, a dark red. We want the vascular tissue of our arms and legs to be very, very much engorged in blood …
Engorged in blood, you feel that lactate, you feel that metabolic waste build up very efficiently. That’s the real focus. We focus on the vascular tissue and the resultant hormonal response as opposed to muscular strength.”

Twice a week, Munatones provides free Q&A sessions during which you can ask questions about KAATSU (sign up for the KAATSU Q&A Zoom sessions here). I’ve attended a few of those and was surprised to find that most people don’t use KAATSU with any weight. They’re just wearing the bands while doing chores or activities of daily living, and that’s enough to see improvement.

“The non-athletes who start KAATSU doing average everyday things, once they see their increased strength, once they start looking in the mirror and seeing some definition in their arms, their core, their legs, they get motivationally excited to do more,” Munatones says.
“It’s really great to see this migration from a non-athlete, sedentary lifestyle, to a much more active one, and that drive is coming from inside themselves.
On the other side of the spectrum, you have the athletic population, that former college athlete, that former high school quarterback, or she might be a runner, a rower, a basketball player. Now they’re older and they know how to push themselves.
They typically are the exact opposite. They start lifting with heavy weights and say, ‘God, I can’t do much more than 10 minutes.’ I go, ‘Wait, wait, stop. Don’t be so aggressive. Be gentle, slow down. I’d rather you use the KAATSU cycle for 45 minutes than 10 minutes.’
And they go, ‘Oh, you mean I could still get the benefits of exercise, muscle building, stamina increase, if I slow down? If I don’t use heavy weights? If I’m not as intense?’ And I go, ‘Yes.’
So these former athletes start coming down the intensity scale. So it’s very interesting seeing the non-athletes sort of go up the intensity scale, and the former athletes or athletes come down the intensity scale. They all sort of meet in this happy median in the middle.”

An added boon is that you don’t need recovery days. You can use KAATSU every day if you want. I used to do conventional strength training twice a week and KAATSU five days a week. Now, I no longer do conventional strength training at all and I am able to train every day with KAATSU without the need for recovery days. At most, I use 30% of my one rep max, with KAATSU, which allows me to work out longer and more frequently.

“We call it ‘time under tension,'” Munatones says. “How much total time, let’s say, in a one-week period do you have the bands inflated on your arms? To do long-term sustained time under tension, you absolutely have to use the KAATSU cycle and you absolutely have to do it with non-intense, non-all-out vigorous movement.
Walking is great. Some people do Pilates, some people do yoga, some people actually just sit and watch Netflix. We have a lot of people who are older, they’re in retail, or they are in law enforcement. Let’s say they’re on their feet all day long and they come back home and they just want to be off their feet. They sit back on the couch, put the KAATSU bands on their legs and have a great recovery session.”

Anyone who’s familiar with exercise knows you start with a warmup, then you do the exercise itself, followed by a cool-down session. KAATSU can be beneficial during all of these phases. It is limb-specific, though. If you have the bands on your arms, it’s not going to warm up or help recovery in your legs. So place the bands on the limbs you’re working that day.

Never use arm bands and leg bands simultaneously. It’s either one or the other. Using it on arms and legs at the same time could cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

“Quite often, our elite athletes, our competitive athletes … use it before they get to the gym, before they get to the track, before they get to the pool, so when they start their traditional warmup, their vascular tissue is already ready to go.
And so, if we talk to our track athlete, they’ll say ‘I feel light on my feet.’ If we’re talking to a basketball player, volleyball player, they’ll say ‘I’m already jumping near my vertical leap max.’
So they’re using it before, they’re using it during, and very importantly, afterwards — after they’ve taken a shower, they could be hydrating, they could be talking with their friends. Whatever body part they focused on in that workout, they’re throwing the bands on, 30 seconds pressure on, five seconds pressure off.
During that five seconds, metabolic waste is being whooshed out and, therefore, they are ready for the next workout the next day. And that’s why, if you’re using KAATSU seven days a week, there really is no need for a rest day.”

On a side note, if you don’t want to use weights or a cable resistance machine, both of which can get pricey, loop resistance bands are an inexpensive alternative that work great. It’s like a giant rubber band and it comes in a variety of resistances, from 5 pounds of resistance all the way up to 300 pounds.

With KAATSU, all you need are two or three of the smallest bands, and you can do virtually every type of exercise with these bands that you can do on a cable resistance machine, which, in my view, is one of the best pieces of strength training equipment out there.

KAATSU also helps with the mind-muscle connection. Most bodybuilders will tell you that you have to focus on the muscle you’re working. Just mindlessly moving through a range of motion with weight will not suffice. Sato was well aware of this as well. When you slow down the movement and focus on contracting the muscle, you’ll feel the lactate build up.

The same principle applies when rehabilitating from a stroke or an injury that’s affecting one side of your body. In this case, place the KAATSU band on the injured side, say the right arm, and then perform a movement with that arm. For example, you could hold a toothbrush or hairbrush, and then go through the movement of brushing your teeth or hair while focusing on the muscle involved in the movement.

“Boy, when I saw the effect of that mind-muscle focus on able-bodied people and then people who were injured or disabled, it really opened my eyes to what KAATSU can do for people,” Munatones says.

I’m really excited about KAATSU because, to me, it’s the ideal form of exercise for the elderly and those who have been sedentary for a long time and will die prematurely if they don’t get some type of exercise intervention. And again, while constant-pressure BFR bands can give you some benefits, it’s the regular and consistent releasing of pressure that activates the anti-inflammatory myokines, which I exponentially lower when wearing static bands.

When wearing the KAATSU bands for 45 minutes, you’re cycling the pressure on and off twice per minute, so you’re getting a lot of activations. With that, you’re also getting a lot of hormonal cascades. With constant-pressure BFR, your muscles will grow, but over time they’ll get spastic. I experienced this first-hand. So now, I never use constant tension. I always use cycle mode. As noted by Munatones:

“You use less weight, less resistance for more muscle, you do less intensity for better results. On the face of it, on the macro level, it doesn’t make sense. But if you look at it at a micro level, what is actually happening within the body as you engorge limb in blood, KAATSU makes a whole lot of sense.”

KAATSU is also a superior choice for athletes. I’ve already mentioned how they use it for warmups and cool downs. Many professional athletes also use KAATSU during practice, but with different protocols. Munatones explains:

“For example, if we’re working with Olympic track athletes, they could be using their bands while working on their starts, or that first hurdle on the hurdles. They typically will do a KAATSU cycle to warm up. If they’re doing a very specific motion in the starting blocks, they’ll use it in constant mode there, and then release the bands.
This is very important for athletes. We found that the human growth hormone, and most of the hormones that are released, are released about 12 to 15 minutes after you take off the bands. So the maximal production of hormones isn’t when you have the bands on. There’s a time delay. So what does that mean?
Now, when we share that information with a professional athlete, let’s say an NBA player who’s in the NBA dunk contest. Well, they’ll KAATSU, ideally, 15 minutes before they get on the court to do their dunk. They want to maximize their physicality when their hormones, their adrenaline, their beta endorphins, et cetera are flowing. You want to perform at that point in time.
So, we basically backdate; we go back and say, OK, let’s say at 12 noon, you know that your race is going to start, so let’s finish the KAATSU session at 11:45. That gives you enough time to put on your jersey, get ready, et cetera. Same thing in between periods, in between halves. We have everybody from high schoolers, to college athletes, to pros, that are using the bands.
This actually came from the Japanese pitchers who are using the bands in between innings. So it’s a nine-inning game. Let’s say they pitched six innings, they were recovering in between the first and second and third and fourth inning.
We did a test with the equivalent of the NCAA baseball players in Japan, and found, for those who use KAATSU exclusively, their pitch count and their number of innings that they pitched increased over the whole season versus the control group that did not use KAATSU during that season …
At the Olympics, especially for 100-, 200- and 400-meter runners, you’ve got three races: the preliminary heats, the semi-final heats and the final heats within one 36-hour period. They’re doing KAATSU in between the pre-lims and semi-finals, and between the semi-finals and finals, simply to get that body back to 100% as quickly as possible.
We also have professional-level arm wrestlers. In a tournament, you might have as many as five, six or seven arm matches within a very short period of time. As soon as they’re finished, we want that metabolic waste whooshed out. So they throw on the KAATSU bands on both arms and do some KAATSU [in between matches.”

KAATSU is also being used by submariners, truck drivers and people in other sedentary professions.

“If you’re a submariner, you’re pretty confined for months on end. You’re living in a small space, obviously there’s some stress involved, just dog some simple bicep curls, hand clenches, tricep extensions and squats by your bunk,” Munatones says.
“These are all innovative ways we use KAATSU. For long distance haulers, truck drivers, this is an ideal way, in a confined space, that you can get a workout if you don’t have the luxury of going to the gym.
Or, you might be on a business trip. Maybe you’re at a convention and you’ve been on your feet all day. By the time you get back to your hotel room, you’re just exhausted. Throw it on there.
We’re in 49 countries around the world. It’s really a heartfelt labor of love that we’re doing. We hear so many stories that are really touching, and that drives us every single day. So if people are interested, they’re very welcome to attend our Tuesday and Thursday one-hour sessions.”

You can sign up for these free KAATSU Q&A Zoom sessions here. The next three sessions will be held March 21, 23 and 28 at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Whether you’re elderly, recovering from an injury, a professional athlete or someone in a sedentary profession, KAATSU can be a real game changer. To learn more, check out my previous article, “How to Stay Fit for Life,” in which I review the science behind KAATSU and explain in greater detail how to use it.

How Statins, Pesticides, Wireless Radiation Affect Your Heart

Download Interview Transcript | Download FREE on iTunes

One in 4 Americans over the age of 45 is on a statin drug to lower their cholesterol
While statins may decrease the frequency of mild heart attacks, they will not necessarily lower your risk of heart disease or death from a major heart attack because of the damage they cause to your muscles, including your heart muscle
Statins lower your cholesterol, which is an important precursor for many of your steroid hormones, including progesterone, testosterone, aldosterone, cortisol and vitamin D
Statin drugs deplete your body of CoQ10, vitamin K2, dolichol and selenium, and prevent the production of HMG co-enzyme A reductase (an enzyme your liver uses to make ketones)
Exposure to glyphosate and electromagnetic fields from wireless technologies also harm your health, especially your heart

Editor’s Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published January 28, 2018.

One in 4 Americans over the age of 45 is on a statin drug to lower their cholesterol. Are these drugs really as bad as some of the evidence suggests — or might they be even worse than suspected? Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., is a senior research scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) whom I’ve interviewed on a number of occasions.

She’s an absolute treasure trove of valuable health information. Here, we discuss statin drugs, which are also featured in her fictional book, “Cindy and Erica’s Obsession to Solve the Healthcare Crisis in America,” for which I wrote the foreword. The story, while fictional, is based on Seneff’s own life and passion for science, and delves into autism, Alzheimer’s, statins, vaccines, glyphosate and more.

In this interview, we focus on another book, “The Dark Side of Statins: Plus, the Wonder of Cholesterol,”

the last one written by Dr. Duane Graveline, who himself was a victim of statin side effects and died from complications related to statin use. Seneff’s husband was also severely affected by statins, which triggered her scientific exploration into these popular drugs.

“He really changed my career by getting sick,” she says. “He was diagnosed with heart disease 10 years ago and put on a high-dose statin — four times the normal dosage. The doctor said, ‘You have to take this for the rest of your life. If you don’t, I will no longer be your doctor.’ And he immediately started suffering from side effects — muscle pains and weakness; even the road rage and behavioral changes.
I just knew this drug wasn’t working and I started researching statins … In fact, I started doing it as part of my work at MIT. I started analyzing statin side effects and finding all kinds of horrible things. He got off them after a year. He slowly tapered it down and I’m happy to say he’s statin free and doing great at this point, 10 years later. His doctors keep on reminding him [to go back on a statin] and he keeps on telling them no, politely.”

As noted by Seneff, it’s pretty easy to overestimate the benefits of statins by confusing people with absolute and relative risk. This is a statistical trick used quite frequently to demonstrate drug effectiveness. Seneff explains:

“They do a study in which the absolute risk is very rare. Let’s say 2 percent of the population is actually expected to have whatever it is they’re monitoring, like, say, a heart attack. They then look over a period of time and find that 2 percent of the control group has the occurrence [they’re looking for, in this case a heart attack] and the treatment group has, let’s say, 1.5 percent instead of 2 percent.
That’s a 0.5 percent decreased risk from [the individual’s] standpoint, but from their standpoint, it’s a 25 percent improved performance because it’s 0.5 out of 2 — one-quarter of the relative risk has been taken away. Therefore, it’s a 25 percent improvement, which sounds much better than 0.5 percent.”

Unfortunately, while statins may decrease the frequency of mild heart attacks, they will not necessarily lower your risk of heart disease or death from a major heart attack because of the damage they do to your muscles, including your heart muscle. On a side note, statins’ ability to lower the risk of minor heart attacks is likely related to their ability to lower C-reactive protein, far more so than the lowering of cholesterol.

However, according to Graveline, you only need one-tenth of the dosage, say 2 milligrams (mg) rather than 20 mg to get this anti-inflammatory benefit, and there are far safer and more effective ways to lower inflammation than taking a statin, even at a low dosage. As Seneff says, “You’re trading heart attack for heart failure, and I think a heart attack is preferred over heart failure.” There are three primary reasons why statins fail to decrease the rate of death from heart disease:

Statins lower your cholesterol, which is an important precursor for many of your steroid hormones, including progesterone, testosterone, aldosterone, cortisol and vitamin D. Cholesterol sulfate (produced when you expose your skin to the sun) enters cell membranes and helps build structured water that protects against oxidative damage. Cholesterol is also needed to create DHEA sulfate.
They also deplete your body of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is needed for muscle health, and lowers your levels of vitamin K2 and HMG co-enzyme A reductase, the latter of which is an enzyme your liver uses to make ketones. So, if you’re on a statin drug, you have dramatically impaired ketone production, even if you’re fasting.
Statins also lower dolichol, which Graveline believed is just as important as CoQ10. Not only does dolichol play an important role in mitochondrial function, it is also responsible for the process of putting sugar chains on top of glycosylated proteins. This is important because these so-called glycosaminoglycans help maintain the barrier function in the cell and regulate the uptake of nutrients.
In practical terms, this means that your muscle cells (including your heart cells), which require lots of energy, get heavily impacted by statins. One side effect from lack of dolichol is Type 2 diabetes, and statins have indeed been found to cause drug-induced diabetes. Dolichol also fixes DNA mistakes. CoQ10, a powerful antioxidant, also helps, and both of these DNA “repair masters” are depleted by statins.

Contrary to popular belief, high cholesterol is not a primary risk factor for heart disease. It’s actually a vital nutrient needed for health that shouldn’t be artificially and indiscriminately suppressed.

“That’s absolutely true,” Seneff says. “When my husband was prescribed a statin, I knew cholesterol was vitally important to the body and I knew there was high concentrations in the brain.
Two percent of the body’s weight and 25 percent of the body’s cholesterol in the brain. So, you don’t want to mess with losing cholesterol in your brain. Of course, statin side effects include a lot of cognitive issues and that was one of the things that faced Graveline.
He suffered something called transient global amnesia after taking statins for about three months. The doctors said, ‘No way the statin could be causing that,’ but he wanted to [stop taking] it anyway … A year later, the doctor said, ‘Well, the statin didn’t cause it, so you should go back on the statin because you still have high cholesterol.’
He went back on [the statin] and shortly thereafter he had another episode of transient global amnesia. From that point on, he stopped taking the statin.
Then he became obsessed and wrote several books on statins … [H]e died of an ALS-like condition, which he suspected the statins had contributed toward … [I]n the book he says, ‘Statins make you grow older faster.’ And I think that’s a very good way to describe them.
They give you all the things you get when you get older, faster. And since you never got old before, you don’t know how fast you’re supposed to get old, so you just think, ‘Well, I’m getting old. This is just the way it is.’ And it’s not. It should be much, much slower … So, everyone gets duped. Each person individually gets old fast and doesn’t realize that’s happening to them because of the statin.”

Two factors that can have a significant impact on your heart health and risk of heart disease are exposure to glyphosate-containing pesticides and electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Seneff touches on both of these issues in this interview, noting that each also has a tendency to worsen the effects of the other. “I think glyphosate messes up your natural electrical system, which makes you much more susceptible to EMFs,” she says.

Considering the evidence, I firmly believe excessive exposure to microwave radiation from cellphones and other wireless technologies are a hidden and completely ignored contributor to heart disease. While evaluating studies showing you can radically reduce biological microwave damage using calcium channel blockers, Martin Pall, Ph.D., discovered a previously unknown mechanism of biological harm from microwaves emitted by wireless technologies.

Embedded in your cell membranes are voltage gated calcium channels (VGCCs), which are activated by microwaves. When that happens, they open up, allowing a massive influx of intracellular calcium, which in turn stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO).

Inside your cell and mitochondria, this NO combines with superoxide to form peroxynitrite. Not only do peroxynitrites cause oxidative damage, they also create hydroxyl free radicals, which are profoundly destructive and cause mitochondrial dysfunction.

One of the tissues with the highest density of VGCCs is the pacemaker in your heart. What the research tells us is that excessive microwave exposure can be a direct contributor to conditions such as cardiac arrhythmias.

According to Seneff, EMFs also contribute to arterial calcification (blocked arteries). So, if you care about your heart health, and/or already struggle with heart problems, you’ll want to make sure you:

Avoid carrying your cellphone in a pocket near your heart
Avoid using portable computers and tablets
Turn off your cellphone at night, as even if you are not talking it can damage you up to 30 feet away unless it’s in airplane mode with Bluetooth and location services turned off
Turn off your Wi-Fi at night (ideally in the day also)
Most importantly, turn off the electricity to your bedroom at the circuit breaker each night. This typically works for most bedrooms unless you have a room or rooms adjacent to your bedroom, in which case you might need to shut that off too. This will radically lower electric and magnetic fields while you sleep. If you need a clock you can use a battery-operated one and even better a talking clock with no light that can be picked up on Amazon

Both glyphosate and EMF exposure have dramatically increased in recent decades. Between 1974 (the year glyphosate entered the U.S. market and just over two decades before GE crops were introduced) and 2014, glyphosate use in the U.S. increased more than 250-fold. Globally, glyphosate use rose nearly fifteenfold since 1996, two years after the first GE crops hit the market.

Recent research shows that while few individuals had detectable levels of glyphosate in their urine in 1993, by 2016, 70% of them had it.

Overall, the prevalence of human exposure to glyphosate increased by 500% during the study period (1993 to 2016), while actual levels of the chemical in people’s bodies increased by an astounding 1,208%.

Seneff has done a lot of research on glyphosate, teasing out a number of mechanisms by which it causes biological harm. Much of this was discussed in “Roundup Herbicide May Be Most Important Factor in Development of Chronic Disease.”

More recently, Seneff and her research partner, Anthony Samsel, a research scientist and environmental and public health consultant, have found a significant amount of circumstantial evidence suggesting the chemical takes the place of glycine (an amino acid) in proteins, thereby impairing trypsin’s function, which is to digest proteins.

This increases the proteins’ allergenic potential. Glyphosate also causes leaky gut, allowing undigested proteins access to your general blood circulation. The end result is autoimmune disease, as your immune cells go into overdrive. “We have an epidemic in all kinds of different autoimmune diseases and food allergies, and I think all of that traces back to glyphosate,” she says.

The “gly” in glyphosate actually stands for “glycine,” which is one of the most common and also the smallest amino acid. So, glyphosate is basically a glycine molecule with a side chain attached to the nitrogen atom, and even though it’s a modified glycine molecule, it’s still glycine. This is why it can replace the regular amino acid glycine in your system. Unfortunately, it’s now toxic. Seneff explains:

“Certain proteins have certain glycines that absolutely have to be glycine in order for them to work properly. A good example is myosin. Myosin in the muscles [allow for] muscle contraction. It’s a really important protein in the muscles for movement. It has a glycine at position 699 in the amino acid sequence. If you change that glycine into alanine, which is to say you add one extra methyl group, it ruins the protein.
It only has 1 percent capacity to contract. It loses 99 percent of its capacity to contract. Really amazing. So, if you put glyphosate instead of glycine, you’re going to have at least as bad an effect as you would with alanine, and probably worse. It will cripple the protein and maybe that’s how you get chronic fatigue syndrome.”

Collagen also contains large amounts of glycine, and we have an epidemic of joint pain, back pain, knee and hip pain. These too may well be the result of glyphosate exposure. Glyphosate also impairs health by causing imbalance in your gut microbiome, and by weakening your immune system. Seneff explains:

“The neutrophils are unable to do their job and then the tryptophan gets squirreled away inside the macrophages as kynurenine, [which] then gets taken over to the brain, causing all kinds of trouble in the brain.
So, there’s this whole complicated thing that’s going on between the brain and the gut — the gut-brain axis communication system — with the microbes being messed up by the glyphosate, the gut being leaky, and the leaky gut barrier introducing a leaky brain barrier.
So, the barriers are all leaky. The placental barrier is leaky too, so the placenta gets in trouble during pregnancy. All this stuff that’s happening because of glyphosate. It’s such a cascade.”

Glyphosate also depletes food of tryptophan by impairing the shikimate pathway in the plant. As a result, food is becoming increasingly tryptophan depleted, leading to widespread deficiency. Eventually, you can get into a situation where the tryptophan gets totally depleted, and when your liver doesn’t get enough, it cannot make enough N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) — one of the most important signaling molecules in your body — because NADA depends on tryptophan.

Downstream, you may also end up with serotonin and melatonin deficiency in the brain, which can lead to sleep disorders, depression and violent or suicidal behavior. Aside from tryptophan, disruption of the shikimate pathway also decreases all of the other aromatic amino acids, including tyrosine and phenylalanine, along with all of their derivatives, which include dopamine and melanin and folate.

As mentioned, statin drugs deplete your body of a number of important nutrients. For this reason, Graveline recommends taking the following supplements if you’re on a statin drug:

Ubiquinol, the reduced version of CoQ10.
Folate — Avoid folic acid, the synthetic version of folate, as it is oxidized and will use up a lot of antioxidant capacity in your liver to turn it into folate. Moreover, if you have been exposed to glyphosate, your body’s ability to do this will be impaired. A good supplement form is 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF).
Vitamin C — Your best bet here is to simply eat vitamin C-rich foods, and only take a vitamin C supplement if you’re feeling ill. The liposomal version of vitamin C is very effective. I typically recommend taking it every hour until you feel better. Liposomal vitamin C may also help abort an allergic reaction when taken in high amounts.
Selenium — Statins wreak havoc with selenoproteins, so a selenium supplement is advisable. In fact, most people need to take supplemental selenium.
Lecithin — I’m not a big fan of lecithin and I would suggest simply eating one whole organic, pastured egg per day instead. Lecithin is phosphatidylcholine, which eggs contain plenty of. If opting for a supplement, I recommend using a liposomal form. Also make sure it’s not made from genetically engineered soy. A safer alternative is organic sunflower lecithin.
Animal-based omega-3 fats — Ideal sources include small fatty fish such as sardines and anchovies and salmon roe. Ideally, check your omega-3 index to make sure you’re in a healthy range.
D-Ribose, as statins interfere with D-Ribose processing.
Magnesium — Most people are deficient in magnesium, but if you’re on a statin, you may be at even greater risk. Having low magnesium also raises your risk of suffering adverse effects from EMF, as magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker. When you take high enough doses of magnesium, you actually lower your risk for developing damage from EMFs.
Alpha lipoic acid — This is a sulfur-containing molecule which may be part of its benefit.
Vitamin K2 — Statins block the K2 pathway and impair vitamin K2 absorption, and K2 is important for the prevention of arterial calcification, as it helps shuttle calcium out of soft tissues into your teeth and bones, where it belongs.
Pyrroloquinoline quinone, more commonly known as PQQ. Similar to CoQ10, PQQ helps improve mitochondrial function.

That statins have proliferated the way they have is a testimony to the power of marketing, corruption and corporate greed, because the odds are very high — greater than 100 to 1 — that if you’re taking a statin, you don’t really need it. The only subgroup of people I believe might benefit from it are those born with a genetic defect called familial hypercholesterolemia, as this makes them resistant to traditional measures of normalizing cholesterol.

Even more importantly, cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease. Heart disease is largely caused by inflammation, as several experts have explained in detail, including Dr. Ron Rosedale, Dr. Uffe Ravnskov, Dr. Stephen Sinatra and Stephanie Seneff. Increased cholesterol is your body’s natural response to inflammation. It is wrongly blamed because it’s found at the “scene of the crime,” but it’s not the criminal.

If your physician is urging you to check your total cholesterol, then you should know that this test will tell you virtually nothing about your risk of heart disease unless it is 330 or higher. HDL percentage is a far more potent indicator for heart disease risk. Here are the two ratios you should pay attention to:

HDL/Total Cholesterol Ratio — Should ideally be above 24%. If below 10%, you have a significantly elevated risk for heart disease.
Triglyceride/HDL Ratio — Should be below 2%.

Remember, your body needs cholesterol. It is important in the production of cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that help you to digest fat. Cholesterol also helps your brain form memories and is vital to your neurological function. There is also strong evidence that having too little cholesterol actually increases your risk for cancer, memory loss, Parkinson’s disease, hormonal imbalances, stroke, depression, suicide and violent behavior.

So, please, think long and hard before filling a prescription for a statin drug, and begin by implementing healthy lifestyle strategies instead. You can find a long list of articles detailing heart healthy strategies here.

The Schwab study proves the COVID vaccines are killing massive numbers of people

**Figure 1.** The Schwab paper shows that the COVID vaccine causes antigen to be expressed by the heart causing the body to attack the heart leading to death. It’s that simple.

I’ve written about the Schwab paper before, but I wanted to put it all in an article to make it easy to reference.

Basically, this study, written by top German scientists and published in a prestigious German peer-reviewed medical journal, proves that the COVID vaccines kill people. They basically started with 35 bodies who died within 20 days of a COVID shot, and focused on 5 where no other cause of death could be ascribed. All 5 had similar findings consistent with a vaccine injury and inconsistent with any other known cause of death.

This suggests that at least 5/35 or 14% of people who die within 20 days of vaccination were likely killed by the vaccine. Note that is a lower bound.

Despite having world-famous pathologist Peter Schirmacher as the senior author on the paper, the Schwab paper will never be covered in the mainstream media anywhere in the world. It was published Nov 22, 2022 and ignored by the media.

Having more than 14% of the deaths 20 days after vaccination being caused by the vaccine should be an immediate stopping condition in any sane world.

But medicine today is dictated by politics, not science.

So the vaccine will continue to be recommended and nobody will be warned about how deadly the vaccine is.

This article on Peter McCullough’s Substack published on December 4 entitled Found Dead at Home after COVID-19 Vaccination points out that 71% of a random sample of people who died unexpectedly within 20 days of the vaccine and underwent an autopsy to determine the cause of death, died of a primary symptom that is caused by the vaccine.

If there was ever a stopping condition for an experimental intervention, that SHOULD do the trick shouldn’t it?

McCullough was describing the paper by Schwab: German scientists conclusively linked the COVID vaccine and sudden death for the first time.

From the paper:

“Our findings establish the histological phenotype of lethal vaccination-associated myocarditis.”

In plain English, it means that “the COVID shot killed people by damaging their heart.”

They looked at 35 patients; 10 were excluded as having died from pre-existing conditions, leaving 25 people.

Of the 25, the study found 5 which likely died exclusively from vaccine-induced myocarditis and no other case.

So they only examined the histopathology of five bodies (3 female, 2 male) who met the criteria of myocarditis and had no other likely cause of death because they were looking to assess whether the vaccine caused myocarditis leading to sudden unexpected death.

They basically were looking for the “cleanest” proof of death, but it’s likely that all 71% of the cases (25 out of 35) died from the vaccine, it’s just harder to “prove” that.

They pointed out that one of the 5 they investigated had herpes, but nobody ever dies from herpes so they left that patient in.

They found heart damage consistent with vaccine-induced myocarditis in all 5 cases that they examined in depth.

More interestingly is the death timing. The subjects were taken from a 20 day window, but the mean time to death was 2.5 days which matches what the Israeli MoH found in their study (see Figure 5).

“All [five] persons died within the first week following vaccination (mean 2.5 days, median 2 days).”

See Table 2 in the Schwab paper for the death timing of each case. If it was not related to the shot, it wouldn’t be clustered so close to the shot. It would be evenly distributed.

They wrote that they have NEVER seen anything like this before in any patient:

“During the last 20 years of autopsy service at Heidelberg University Hospital we did not observe comparable myocardial inflammatory infiltration.”

Then they said they they’ve ruled out everything for these 5 cases except the vaccination:

“Based on the autopsy findings and all available data, no other cause of death except (epi-)myocarditis was identified in any of the cases presented here. Hence, myocarditis has to be considered the likely cause of death.”
”In three cases, the overall autopsy findings, in particular presence of (epi-)myocarditis in combination with the absence of other plausible causes of death (especially pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, severe brain infarction or bleeding, other cardiac disease), together with the close temporal association with the vaccination event lead to the conclusion that vaccination was the likely cause of (epi-)myocarditis and that this cardiac affection was the cause of sudden death.”

My personal favorite part is that the vaccine leaves a “fingerprint” when it kills:

The latter criterion is supported by demonstration of a phenotypically identical T-cell infiltrate at the deltoidal injection site in one of the cases.

In plain English, “the damage pattern in the shoulder (injection site) was the same as in the heart.” This means if the vaccine didn’t kill the patient, this may be the greatest “coincidence” in medical history.

Schwab was the first author but Peter Schirmacher was the senior author on the paper. Peter Schirmacher is a world-famous pathologist, one of the top 100 pathologists in the world.

Schirmacher was also one of the first pathologists to link these vaccines with deaths and tell the world about it. More than a year ago, on August 1, 2021, he looked at 40 deaths within 2 weeks after vaccination and determined that at least 30% to 40% of the deaths could be linked to the vaccine. I was told that they threatened to kill his family so he went undercover which is why he was completely unreachable when I tried to contact him in August 2021).

Top cardiologists such as Dr. Peter McCullough immediately recognized the importance of this paper. See this news story on the vaccine-related COVID deaths and this FOX News segment featuring Peter McCullough. It is consistent with the research described by Dr. Ryan Cole here.

Watch this video from John Campbell entitled Myocarditis German evidence who explains the significance of the paper. Also, did you notice that throughout the video (such as at 12:10), Campbell has to expressly point out what he is “allowed” to talk about? Have you ever wondered what he would say if his speech wasn’t muzzled? Don’t people have a right to know that? Or is the public better off when clinicians’ speech is muzzled? Finally, look at all the comments on the video.

In particular, this comment tells you all you need to know about Campbell’s video:

Here is Dr. Been’s video about the Schwab paper.

The question everyone should be asking is why is this research only now appearing two years after the vaccine roll out? Why are no autopsies being done in the US? Why is nobody in the US publishing similar research?

The question for the reader is whether you have a more likely explanation for these deaths than vaccine induced?

Here is Dr. Moran’s video about the Schwab paper which in the first 5 minutes talks in detail about the prospective Thailand study where 7 out of 202 males developed myocarditis or pericarditis within just two weeks after their second dose of the vaccine. This is far greater than the risk of myocarditis from COVID (which creates NO added risk per this large-scale Israeli study of 196,992 unvaccinated adults after Covid infection).

A rate of 3.5% of teenage males (which is 1 in every 29 teenage males) being diagnosed with myocarditis post-vaccine is a disaster. If the vaccine isn’t causing this, what is? This cannot be simply “bad luck” that these kids all developed spontaneous myocarditis; the rate is too high and the timing is suspicious.

The precautionary principle of medicine requires us to halt the vaccine for kids, but the US ignored it, no further research is being done.

You simply can’t have 96 kids in Canada dying suddenly for no reason in just a 3 month period after the jabs rolled out. Read this article by Bill Makis which covers each case along with the pictures of everyone who died: Over 96 Canadian children ages 2-19 have died suddenly or unexpectedly in the past 3 months – a warning call for Canadian parents.

It’s behind a subscriber paywall, but the $5 to subscribe helps offset the tremendous time investment Dr. Makis made to compile the list.

Dr. Makis has written over 100 peer-reviewed medical papers.

Do you think he would even bother to spend his time on this if it wasn’t extraordinary?

Here is a subset of the 96 profiles in his article:

The COVID vaccine is killing people in huge numbers.

The Schwab paper is a good indicator that at least 14% of the people who died within 20 days of vaccination were killed by the vaccine, but the actual number is likely higher than that since that was the bare minimum of cases that could be definitively proved that no other cause existed. Peter McCullough went further and pointed out that 71% of the people who died within 20 days of vaccination had symptoms consistent with a vaccine-caused death.

Other papers (e.g., Rancourt, Skidmore, etc.) show the vaccines are killing on average about 1 person per 1,000 doses overall. In America, that’s over 600,000 Americans.

Interestingly, when eye drops kill a person, they are recalled. When vaccines kill 600,000 Americans, we mandate them.

Unfortunately, the medical community, health authorities, government agencies, and mainstream media will continue to look the other way because to admit the truth would simply be too embarrassing. They will not debate. They will not answer any questions we have. They simply want to censor us and avoid talking about it. And, above all, they want to make sure that the public will never see the death-vax records that will tell everyone exactly what is going on. Those records must never be disclosed.

We live in interesting times. It’s clear to anyone who looks seriously at the data that the US is killing massive numbers of people with these vaccines.

But they don’t want to hear any arguments that they may have made a mistake about these vaccines.

March 18, 2023

Why aren’t any colleges showing us their research that justifies the mandates?

Medill freshman Simone Scott dies following heart transplant — 19-year-old Simone Scott was excited to get her second dose of the Moderna vaccine on May 1, 2021. On May 16, she suffered heart failure and later died. The doctors still don’t know what caused it. Can we see the histopathology that was done to determine whether it was caused by the vaccine or not? Of course not! NOBODY is allowed to see the data. EVER. See this thread for details.

It seems more than likely that the COVID vaccines have killed far more college students than the COVID virus.

When I surveyed my readers, I received over 10X as many death reports of US college students dying from the vaccine as from the virus.

But my research is ignored by colleges of course since it is counter-narrative.

The big question I have is what did the colleges themselves find when they did the same analysis of public death reports (which they of course would have done before mandating the vaccine)?

More importantly, why are they hiding their analyses from the parents of the students? And why are they only requiring it for students and not for staff and faculty? Where is the science behind that?

Why can’t we have data transparency on these important issues? Is there a public health benefit to concealing this information?

On March 13, I wrote an article where I asked people to report any US college students they knew of who died either from COVID or the vaccine.

As of March 18, I received 145 responses from my survey. Just 5.5% of those reports were of students who died from COVID.

You can view the survey results here. The comments section is particularly enlightening.

Skeptics could argue that I have a biased readership which is more likely to report vaccine deaths than COVID deaths. That is certainly true.

What I find very troubling is that while my list is public, every college in America who requires the COVID vaccine is hiding their list. I don’t understand why they would do this.

AFAIK, there are only two reasons a college would hide their risk/benefit analysis:

They didn’t do it and just trusted the CDC.
They did it and found the same thing I did that the mandates are unethical

Either way, this is a problem.

The Bardosh essay that was published in the BMJ: COVID-19 vaccine boosters for young adults: a risk benefit assessment and ethical analysis of mandate policies at universities.

University booster mandates are unethical because they: (1) are not based on an updated (Omicron era) stratified risk-benefit assessment for this age group; (2) may result in a net harm to healthy young adults; (3) are not proportionate: expected harms are not outweighed by public health benefits given modest and transient effectiveness of vaccines against transmission; (4) violate the reciprocity principle because serious vaccine-related harms are not reliably compensated due to gaps in vaccine injury schemes; and (5) may result in wider social harms. We consider counterarguments including efforts to increase safety on campus but find these are fraught with limitations and little scientific support.

Colleges ignored this.

So they must have very compelling evidence showing the essay is wrong!

Why are they keeping it secret from everyone? Are they just sharing it secretly amongst themselves?

Let’s take, for example, the sudden death of 21-year-old John Foley. He died from acute heart failure just one day after his COVID shot. Bad timing? Seems unlikely as 21-year-old students don’t generally die of acute heart failure all of a sudden.

The Hamilton County Coroner the University of Cincinnati student’s death was not caused by a COVID-19 shot he received a day before he died.

Seriously?!?! How did the coroner make this determination?

Did any college call up Lakshmi Sammarco and ask her to explain how she ruled out the COVID vaccine as the cause of death?

What tests were done to prove the vaccine didn’t do it? Where are the histology slides?

For some odd reason, the press never asks these important questions. I can’t figure it out. It’s almost as if they didn’t want to know the truth.

The coroners never reveal how they know it wasn’t the vax. Why? Is it a secret?

Make no mistake: the COVID vaccines kill people. The Schwab paper which conclusively ties the vaccines to death and leaves no doubt whatsoever of causality. It shows it can be done.

In addition, nobody can explain over 17,000 excess deaths reported into VAERS if the vaccines are perfectly safe. It isn’t over reporting because there is no evidence of a higher propensity to report. It isn’t gaming or fraud. That leaves only one other possible explanation: the vaccines are deadly and are killing on average about 1 person per 1,000 doses (see the Rancourt paper and the Skidmore paper). That’s over 600K Americans who have been killed by the COVID vaccine since it was rolled out.

Where are the autopsies on these people that prove that the vaccines were not to blame?

See this excellent article How to obtain an autopsy to prove a vaccine injury. See also the Schwab study which is also excellent.

Did Lakshmi Sammarco do any of these tests before she ruled that the vaccine didn’t cause the death? Did she even request histology/microscopy on the tissue samples? If she didn’t even do that, how can she have ruled it out? If she did do it, then will she release the slides? If not, why not?

I’ll be calling their office myself on Monday to find out the answer to these questions which apparently nobody wants to ask her except me.

The evidence in plain sight shows that the COVID vaccines have killed far more students than have died from COVID (or were “saved” by COVID).

When healthy college students are dying at an unusual rate after getting an experimental vaccine that we know for a fact kills people, we should assume it is the vaccine UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE. That is consistent with the precautionary principle of medicine.

The onus is on the colleges to show that none of these deaths were caused by the vaccine. Simply show us the histology that was done during the autopsy similar to that shown in the Schwab paper. That’s it. That’s all we ask. That the evidence exonerating the COVID vaccine is made available. After all, if the goal is to reduce vaccine hesitancy, why keep the evidence secret?

If I got it wrong, I will happily admit it. Just show us the data.

If the colleges won’t do it, then why aren’t any “fact checkers” proving I’m wrong? All they have to do is showing us that all these kids in my survey just died suddenly after 2021 from natural causes, that all of them had no evidence under microscopy of T-lymphocytic infiltration in the autopsy, and that the rates of these “mysterious” college student deaths isn’t elevated above normal after the vaccine rolled out? Easy peasy.

Fortunately for us, there is one organization located in Ontario, Canada, the CPSO, which is absolutely committed to getting the truth out and stopping the spread of misinformation. If the colleges and fact checkers won’t prove me wrong, then this would be a PERFECT way to show that the 96 vaccinated kids who died in Canada over the past 3 months alone did not die from the vaccine. They could simply publish the histology slides on all 96 kids who died post-vaccine in Canada. If none of them have any signs of T-lymphocytic infiltration, we’ll all pack our bags and go home. It’s the perfect project for the CPSO!

Prove me wrong! Please! What are you waiting for?
