Safe and effective whole-population vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the only long-term solution to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic [1]
The only long-term solution?
This study does not show that, let alone prove it, yet it's in there as a fait a compli.
Not sure if you've seen this study on myocarditis following smallpox vaccine, but it is amazing in its parallels
"The myocarditis/pericarditis incidence rate for the post-SPX cohort was 463 per 100,000 (95% CI 150–1079 per 100,000)."
"...when compared to the published background rate of MP in a comparable population of service members not exposed to SPX immunization (detailed in Table 3)[3], the relative risk of clinical MP was 214 fold higher (95% CI (65–558); p<0.001) than the published background rate. "
"Prior to the present study, the incidence of MP following smallpox vaccination was estimated from passive surveillance registries and population databases, with an inherent bias towards underestimation of disease incidence. "

Mathew, are you familiar with the concern that the spike protein includes a prion folding domain that is likely to cause a neurological syndrome similar to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease? I don't have the knowledge base and experience to evaluate those claims, and I don't know who would. But this is my nightmare: everyone with spike protein in their blood, whether from the virus or the vaccines, turning slowly into sponge brained zombies.
"Canadian immunologist and vaccine researcher Byram Bridle, Ph.D., has gained access to Pfizer’s biodistribution study from the Japanese regulatory agency. The research, previously unseen, demonstrates a huge problem with all COVID-19 vaccines"
"The assumption that vaccine developers have been working with is that the mRNA in the vaccines would primarily remain in and around the vaccination site. Pfizer’s data, however, show the mRNA and subsequent spike protein are widely distributed in the body within hours"
"It used to be normal practice when giving an injection to make sure that the tip of the needle wasn’t in a blood vessel.... But the authorities in the UK (and I suspect elsewhere) apparently decreed that jabbers should not check to see if the needle was in a vein. They told doctors and nurses (and others) to just stick the needle into an arm, depress the plunger and call the next patient." -Vernon Coleman
"Careful histopathological examination of the heart is required in any case of fatality following COVID-19 mRNA vaccines as myocarditis can be focal or masquerade as ischemic heart disease in older patients."
Does this mean everyone who dies following the vax needs an autopsy?
Literally almost every pharmacy is doing these shots, and only now we find out that a little matter of injection technique can kill someone?
PEG in mRNA vaccines contributing to clots as well? Did you know PEG makes up 90% of Vaping liquid? And vaping has been tied to heart and lung blood clots? Here’s more information: The affidavit mentions PEG. One comment I saw pointed out that it’s used in e-cigarette/vaping.
So that reminded me, wasn’t there an issue with young men having heart or lung trouble with vaping? Maybe instead of the nicotine, PEG was the culprit all along?
“Propylene glycol, on the other hand, is considerably less toxic than ethylene glycol and may be labeled as “non-toxic antifreeze”. It is used as antifreeze where ethylene glycol would be inappropriate, such as in food-processing systems or in water pipes in homes where incidental ingestion may be possible. As confirmation of its relative non-toxicity, the FDA allows propylene glycol to be added to a large number of processed foods, including ice cream, frozen custard, salad dressings and baked goods,
👉👉👉it is also often a main ingredient of E-cigarette liquid (E-liquid or E-juice).”
In 2019 this report on vaping talked about side effects that sound very similar to severe Covid effects:
“More than 450 people across 33 states have been affected by serious lung illnesses associated with vaping and six people
have died.”
“The illness is defined by severe pneumonia symptoms, shortness of breath, coughing, fever, fatigue, and respiratory failure, and has so far affected mostly young people. In one case documented in the Midwest, the patient also had a pneumothorax, or collapsed lung.
👉👉Federal health officials are
still trying to determine what ingredient
or ingredients in vaping liquids is making people sick and whether the current outbreak is a new phenomenon or part of a long-running epidemic that is only now surfacing.”
“one day he started having trouble breathing. Days later, he was at the hospital getting intubated and placed on a ventilator.”
“wanted to warn his friends about the dangers of using e-cigarettes when he posted photos of his lungs covered in black dots.
Could these black dots be blood clots? Answer: yes!
Here’s one from Sept 7, 2021: vaping raises a user's risk of blood clots, damage small blood vessels and can also raise heart rate and blood pressure, a new study finds.
“Vaping juice ingredients are composed of the following essential components: water, food flavoring, nicotine or zero nicotine, and propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerin (VG). About 10% of the ingredients in vape juice are the flavorings, water, and nicotine, and the remaining 90% is PG or VG fluid.”
Seems like injecting PEG, even in small doses, may be extremely dangerous.
What do you think of the peg idea? If there’s studies already showing that it causes similar Covid symptoms couldn’t there be a direct correlation tied to the Covid vaccine and placed more doubt in peoples minds?
Are there black dots on lungs of Covid patients as well as vaxxed patients with complications?
This is a picture of a person with Covid lung damage. So spike protein is likely causing this, right?
What’s interesting here is that PEG comes wit the lipid nanoparticle that is going inside each and every cell where it’s triggering the body to also make spike protein. So maybe it’s a double whammy?
That Li paper is disturbing, to say the least. However, I'm not sure that the dosages they used aren't enormous compared to the normal human dosages. They are injecting the mice with 5ug of vaccine, while the dose/fatality plot seems to show only 30ug or 100ug doses for humans. I think maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges with these numbers, but if not, the Li paper isn't as scary.
Peter Dasak and Eco Health Alliance are all over this story and quoted. Could they have used the aerosolized version of the virus Dasak wanted to partner with DARPA on? Which DARPA turned down but Eco health alliance got funding for elsewhere?
Here are some interesting quotes from that April 2018 article above:
“To see if the virus had the capacity to jump to humans, the investigators conducted tests on the blood of 35 farm workers who had close contact with the sick pigs, and none were positive for SADS-CoV exposure.”
“They also said that new technological tools, such as next-generation sequencing, (PCR tests using genomic sequence databases?) can be performed rapidly
👉before👈 the virus is isolated.” [in this doc, the FDA admits that sars cov-2 virus wasn’t (still hasn’t been) technically isolated. https://www.fda.gov/media/134922/download]
Then there’s this, Summer 2019: “Chinese military researchers were part of a project that created mice with “humanized” lungs — apparently to test the infectiousness of various viruses.” But when the NSC investigators worked backward to establish a timeline for the study, they realized that the critters were created sometime during summer 2019 — before the coronavirus pandemic exploded, according to Vanity Fair.
To recap, Fauci gave money for years to groups to make humanized mice to do experiments to see how the human immune system responds to immune challenges. This was largely shut down in June 2019 by Trump. Then China, again, picks up the baton to do similar off-the-books research on humanized mice. Previously, this was the kind of research being done in the USA: “From the aborted fetuses, thymus, liver, spleen and full-thickness skin were transplanted and grafted onto the rodents and allowed to grow. Then the rodent models were given a staph infection on the skin to study how the internal organs responded,” she added. The human skin grafted over the rib cages of rodents grew blood vessels and immune cells, and human hair grew on the grafted fetal scalps. As Trasancos notes, “Images literally show a patch of baby hair growing on a mouse’s back.”
The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which has been headed by Anthony Fauci, M.D., since 1984. NIAID has partnered this year with Pharmaceutical giant Moderna to develop a COVID-19 vaccine.
So much of this article is over my head, but when I went to the Li study (the abstract) it suggested to my layman mind that myopericarditis (which I assume to be heart issues) was not a problem:
"Methods
We compared the clinical manifestations, histopathological changes, tissue mRNA expression, and serum levels of cytokine/chemokine in Balb/c mice at different time points after intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) vaccine injection with normal saline (NS) control.
Results
Although significant weight loss and higher serum cytokine/chemokine levels were found in IM group at 1–2 days post-injection (dpi), only IV group developed histopathological changes of myopericarditis "
My understanding is that the J&J, etc., vaccines are given in the muscle, not by IV. The Li study says only the IV group had issues.
I so wish someone could translate Matt Crawford's terrific articles into laymen terms.
I have been running with a similar, but different theory of etiology. It is not that teen and younger adult men have more muscle mass overall, but that the *portion* of capillary blood-flow in the heart, even though it is small, is not nearly as small as it will be after later fat / muscle gain that occurs with aging. The lower incidence among older men is just a statistical artifact of overall population body mass.
In other words, teen males are selected into the vulnerable group as their hearts grow larger with puberty and then selected back out of it as the rest of their body grows with age (leading to proliferation of vessels / capillaries in added fat and muscle).
This would predict that it is *leaner, less muscular* young men who are more affected, which could be looked into if anyone was actually trying to clinically and systematically examine Covid vaccine recipients (but that's crazy talk!). You could also say that the inadvertent intravenous injection problem selects for leaner shoulders as well - but not if lots of injections are actually going into the arm anyway. For all we know for now, dispersion of the spike script throughout the body is either universal or random across all body types.
I think there is also more subclinical myocarditis among women than men, as women seem to experience cardiac distress as diffuse pain, sometimes not even near the heart, more often than men.
As you acknowledged, there is still the hope that the Covid vaccine-induced myocardial inflammation is not tethered to the same actual tissue destruction as normal myocarditis, and doesn't have the same prognosis. But it it's from spike expression, those cells are toast. I don't peg the likely final value of additional deaths in 5 figures. I fear it's 8 at least (or, would be if not for the "discount" from all the other mortal harms).
Something odd is going on with Mokeddum's data. He identifies a total of 2554 deaths from the mRNA vaccines, through Sept. 13. This seems too small compared to other reports about VAERS contents. There's a dialog about this in the comments section at the article, and Mokeddum posted his code, but I don't feel the issue is resolved.
This "The Li animal model study and others such as Payvandi et al (2021, N = 30) do not include enough individuals to observe whether 1% or 0.1% or 0.01% of the vaccinated population (intramuscular injection) are likely to see mRNA create spike protein that leaks into the blood"
Made me think for the first times.in terms of risk/benefit analysis for younger people in terms of a very particular thing. Meaning, if risk of serious harm from covid is LESS than the chance of Myocarditis if given the injection, then that should be a no brainer that these vaccines should not be given to anyone who's physiology makes them more at risk. Especially when, whatever protection is granted (i am still doubtful that it is ANY to be honest because of the narrow focus on just spike in the vaccines) is so poor.
Under these circumstances it sounds like we are weaking part of the body that makes Covid more deadly in youths, through the use of vaccines made to protect against covid, which are themselves non sterilizing and weak and grant no immunity.
Youth gets shot, gets myocarditas (at any percent higher than risk from covid) and THEN catches a breakthrough case of covid. Effectively caused a significant portion of people to become weaker, not stronger.
Quite the opposite of "do not harm."
Hopefully what I wrote makes sense... I'll revisit it tomorrow.
