In other, much more interesting news, I congratulate you on a way of thinking that is damned hard to shake. I don't know if it's indoctrination or not. Back in 2009 or so, when I began to doubt that the Flu Shot was anything but a money grab, it almost immediately made me consider all the other vaccines suspect. I didn't think this was a leap of faith or my conspiracy analyst tendencies coming out, but just the obvious subsequent conclusion. And yet, during the early-to-late stages of the Great Covid Dumpster Fire, I saw people struggle. They figured if the early vaccines, pick one--polio, smallpox, whatever--were lifesaving and all that, then the likelihood was high that the covid vaccines, subject to the same protocols conducted by the same people, were okay too.
I thought EXACTLY the converse! (Inverse? Reverse?) Reading almost any of the trial protocols was illustrative.
As Bad Cat loves to opine, "Pfizer doesn't make mistakes. They make choices." Anyway, just sounding off. Great article!
That's very interesting. I had realised in my 20's that the 'flu vaccines seemed to cause the very thing they were supposed to prevent so I nver bothered. Last vax I had was for tetanus in perhaps 1992 and that only because a doctor suggested I needed a booster after a head wound and not having had one for some time.
Once the COVID nonsense started I had a long hard look and realised that if 'flu vaxxes didn't work what about the rest. The rest as they say is history.
Absolutely. In my research on diseases I kept coming up with 'flu like symptoms. I consider most diseases are a form of 'flu being in essence the result of build up of toxic waste, much of it nitrogenous.
I should probably mention that I've never had a flu shot. However, I didn't investigate any science behind my feelings or apply any logic until 2009, when I was writing, semi-weekly or so, for the libertarian website LewRockwell.com.
me likewise. As a paediatrician, covid vaccines were such an obvious non-starter, using a novel technology gene-based product with no medium let alone longterm safety data in children for whom whatever bug was doing the rounds in 2020 certainly wasn't a significant problem for them. But now looking at all the published data for other vaccines, absolutely confirms Jonathan's demand for 'all cause' outcome trials. eg 'flu vaccines seem to reduce cases of 'influenza' in the short term but increases all cause acute respiratory illnesses, with increase in Pneumococcus, Haemophilus & Moraxella. Similar findings for other respiratory vaccine, drop one thing and get more of something else. It seems kids need their snotty noses to top up their innate immunity. Nature abhors a vacuum.
Did we want to believe that vaccines were the most important player in reduced mortality, so didn't question the actual evidence presented. I as a health visitor happily promoted and physically gave the injections, you know we had to hit the target box over 90 % uptake. Personally only had the "Flu" jabs once and after being quite ill declined anymore. On checking the efficacy wasn't surprised it is never very high.
The MMR outcry was the one and only time I saw the chief medical officer for the town I worked in. We were urged to dispel any fears or hesitation in parents. Revisiting since I retired , (inspired by the covid and swineflu vaccies harms),some of the findings of whether vaccines are safe and effective ,I could no longer be party to the ever growing list we pump into our babies.
I'm glad people are seeing through the scam of fake testing in order to promote a treatment. Most of the diseases declined before vaccination. Why? Because they were caused by sanitation, pesticides, toxic products of those times.
Plagiarising Dr Kendrick, the unproven hypothesis that high cholesterol levels cause heart disease is v likely built on sand. And as he also observes hypertension is most local a sign/symptom of heart disease, not a cause.
It is a pity that more doctors do not have this same capacity to look at evidence. Instead, all the ones I know seem wedded to the belief that vaccines are some kind of miracle medicine which may not be questioned. Those who do the questioning, who are with rare exceptions never doctors themselves, find a completely different story. https://metatron.substack.com/p/no-vaccine-has-been-proven-to-save
What must be done with the medical profession to correct this distortion of reality? There is the potential to dave so many lives and prevent so many injuries by stopping the practice if injecting people with toxic substances have no benefit whatsoever. This is a serious question.
I worked for 20 years in Australia as an Registered Nurse/Registered Midwife, in my experience most medical professionals believe:
• what they are taught as being evidence based fact
• regulatory and health agencies give evidence based advice.
• standards of care are based on evidence
• published (peer reviewed), science is true
There is little or no questioning. I have been laughed at, told I'm a crackpot etc for questioning the marketing lines, we were taught, which doesn't worry me on a personal level but it shows the indoctrination is strong. Medical professionals often state things in a very authoritative way, get impatient and angry when questioned and research shows they will lie to a patient because they want them to do what is "best".
How to change that, keep talking keep writing and provide evidence. Anyone got any other suggestions?
We are up against strong lobbying, expensive jaunts and conferences and continuing education, all paid for by industry. A paper i read said even the gift of a pen from industry is likely to Influence a doctor, even though they are aware of the purpose of yhe gift.
I've just watched Candace Owens December interview on the moon landings. There are so many stones I don't think most are cut out to turn over, however, turning over the CONVID one is a great start, the rest are no less eye opening but are easier to digest. It's a very long road but one we must tread
Offhand the areas of research into vaccine safety in the population I can remember are -
1. The DPT survey
Evidence of Increase in Mortality After the Introduction of Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis Vaccine to Children Aged 6-35 Months in Guinea-Bissau: A Time for Reflection?
Conclusion: Although having better nutritional status and being protected against three infections, 6-35 months old DTP-vaccinated children tended to have higher mortality than DTP-unvaccinated children. All studies of the introduction of DTP have found increased overall mortality.
2. The work of Professor Jerome Gherardi and his team in Paris on a post vaccine syndrome they called Macrophagic myofasccitis They performed some elegant research showing how adjuvant material trsmitted to the brain.
Lessons from macrophagic myofasciitis: towards definition of a vaccine adjuvant-related syndrome
Macrophagic myofasciitis is a condition first reported in 1998, which cause remained obscure until 2001. Over 200 definite cases have been identified in France, and isolated cases have been recorded in other countries. The condition manifests by diffuse myalgias and chronic fatigue, forming a syndrome that meets both Center for Disease Control and Oxford criteria for the so-called chronic fatigue syndrome in about half of patients. One third of patients develop an autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis.
3. The work of Schonefeld et al on the ASIA syndrome.
The ASIA syndrome: basic concepts
The autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), also known as Shoenfeld’s syndrome, encompasses several autoimmune conditions/phenomena that are induced following the exposure to substances with adjuvant activity. The disease spectrum is heterogeneous in respect to clinical presentation as well as severity of the clinical manifestations. Adjuvants are included in vaccination formulations for their immunogenic properties. Despite being generally well tolerated, safe and effective, some genetically predisposed individuals can develop generalized non-specific constitutional symptoms, autoantibody production, new onset, or worsening of disease presentation.
There are many studies of post vaccination illnesses in populations (these studies are not recent) but they tend to be overlooked, or as in Prof Gherardi's experience, you find your successful research lab. shut down.
These real adverse events need to be incorporated into a population wide assessment of the true risk/benefit profile of vaccines.
Then there is the debate over SIDS and autism risks.
I'm all for vaccinations too. It would be helpful to have honest private and public sector players who are open enough to provide realistic safety and efficacy studies to support the broad dictates that come with today's CDC VAX schedule. That may be too much to ask in today's environment of captured regulatory agencies.
In boring news, we agree. (Ho hum!)

Haha yeah.
At work I was offered the hep B shots, since we work in dirty conditions.
I looked up the side effects of the shots.
Heavy flu like symptoms, if extreme, organ issues.
I looked up what a hep b "infection" symptoms are.
Flu like symptoms for a week. Low energy.
WTF?!?

Indeed have a vaccine that has not had 10-15 years of trialling, and you can be the guinea pig.

'safe and effective', the biggest lie ever promoted about vaccines.
“Safe and effective” leads to “suddenly and unexpectedly.” Change my mind.
I'm glad people are seeing through the scam of fake testing in order to promote a treatment. Most of the diseases declined before vaccination. Why? Because they were caused by sanitation, pesticides, toxic products of those times.

Also the brilliant work of Christine Stabell Benn and Peter Aaby on non specific effects would have any sane person questioning vaccines.

Excellent. After I read “the Moth and the Iron Lung,” I asked myself: “What else don’t I know?”
