Michael, I agree with you 95% of the time. This time I do NOT. It is irresponsible to give medical advice when you're not a health care practitioner. One only has to look on the CDC's own website for the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System to see that as of September 24, 2021, there have been 5,539 reported cases of death in the US alone after receiving a vaccine for COVID-19. www.vaers.hhs.gov

Michael, I am SO DISAPPOINTED in you, because it is obvious that you have not done the deep research on this subject that is needed to learn the truth as to what is happening surrounding this COVID pandemic and especially the vaccines. I had hoped that the next project that you were working on was an expose on all of this.

Regarding the safety of the vaccines, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports as of 9-17-21 that there have been 15,386 deaths and 99,410 serious injuries in vaccinated individuals. This is from a system notorious for under-reporting vaccine injuries. A Harvard study done about 10 years ago found that the system captured <1% of actual injuries. Here is a link to an excellent video of the problems in reporting to the VAERS system the many vaccine injuries that this health leader in her hospital, a P.A., encountered:

Long-term adverse events from the vaccines are mostly unknown at this point, since such data take years, not months, to accumulate. Just assuming that the vaccines will be safe in the long-term is clearly irrational, especially considering that these vaccines depend on the body's production of a toxic substance, the spike protein, which travels to all organs of the body. A number of experts have described plausible scenarios for very serious injuries in the long-term, and it is likely that the injuries, such as micro clots in the lungs, will be cumulative with each jab.

Regarding people who should not get the vaccines, one obvious group is those who have had COVID and recovered. It is generally accepted, and is being proven in real time with COVID, that natural immunity following an infection is more robust and long-lasting than that achieved with vaccines (which in the case of the COVID vaccines is not even true immunity, since the vaccinated can both acquire and transmit the infection). The COVID recovered individuals are at even more risk of an adverse event from the vaccines through antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) than are others.

It only makes sense that those with natural immunity will have better immunity than those who get vaccinated, since the vaccine results in antibodies directed only against a portion of the spike protein of the virus, which has now mutated, while natural immunity antibodies are directed against all of the virus.

Other groups who should not get the vaccines include children and adolescents, since their risk/benefit ratio clearly favors acquiring the infection over getting the vaccine. Pregnant women are another group which should not get the vaccine, as there is insufficient evidence proving that the vaccine is safe for them. Those who have had a serious reaction to a previous vaccine obviously should not be given one of these vaccines.

Regarding the unvaccinated driving a "monster Covid variant", it is much more likely that the vaccinated are the ones driving the emergence of variants, due to the pressure exerted by the vaccines on the virus. This is somewhat similar to the emergence of resistant bacterial strains due to the pressure exerted upon them due to overuse of antibiotics.

There is an alternative to the vaccines, and that is early treatment of the infection. Notwithstanding how badly Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine have been mischaracterized in the media, many physicians and physician groups have developed protocols, many including one or both of those substances, which have been shown to be very effective and safe. These have been suppressed from the beginning, because if there were an alternative to the vaccines there would be no ability to grant an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), as such an authorization can only be given if there is no good alternative.

It has been estimated that 85% of those who have died from the infection could have been saved if they had been given early treatment. These treatments can be started at home as soon as the infection is acquired (ideally within the first 5 days), as opposed to sending patients home with no treatment to "wait and see" if they get so much worse that they require hospitalization or recover on their own. It is truly unconscionable that these treatments have been and continue to be suppressed. Some can also be used prophylactically.

Every night on the news I see reports of the serious situation in hospitals, e.g., currently in Idaho and Alaska, which are filled up with COVID patients (and some of these will be individuals who have been vaccinated) and have no more beds. Vaccines will not solve this problem, certainly in the short-term, but these early treatment protocols could.

Due to the extreme censorship surrounding all of this, driven by Big Pharma and Big Government (you got some of that right), as well as Big Media, any information that might be critical of the vaccines does not see the light of day. Experts who have spoken up have been censored, de-platformed, derided, and defamed. Some have lost their livelihoods. This is not how a democracy should function. Science is not a settled dogma but is open to discussion, criticism, and advancement of evidence.

Regarding the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and their "Disinformation Dozen", please investigate CCDH to see who is behind it and determine who gave it the authority to determine what is misinformation or disinformation. I am not familiar with everyone on their list, but at least some are the truth-tellers.

Michael, PLEASE do some deep research on this subject. Here are some sources of information:

THANK YOU.
