Covid Vaccine

Absolutely. It's recorded. You could tell the pharmacist knew she ****** up as soon as she blurted out they purposely neglected to tell the parents about the possible side effects of the clot shot.

This was also after they had thousands of case data because they didn't approve this garbage for kids until later on.

I'm glad my wife didn't do that **** with my son. I would be divorced and in full punisher mode if my boy had serious injury or death from that.

Right?

A government edict purporting to be about science, but not actually based on any reliable science -- NONE -- is harming kids and breaking up families.

You’re dead wrong. Again. Anecdotal evidence from social media is not data. And while you’re walking back your previous claims of genocide, you might as well walk back the 1 death/1,000 as it’s quite obviously not true. It’s just more baseless **** you’re pulling out of your ***.

I've been gone for four days. So looked forward to seeing what inane bullshit you'd throw out there.

You didn't disappoint.

Anytime you can find a single post where I called the most dangerous vaccine ever = genocide, please provide it. Those have been words you've put in my mouth. Something you're infamous for doing. No one here has ever said they are genocidal numbers. Compared to all other vaccines, they are incredibly dangerous. That does not = genocide. Moron.

Now to your post. What an amazing scientific study:

There are currently no available scientific reports that provide an evidence-based framework to prove causality between the reported events and mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.

"Although the absence of evidence does not necessarily reflect an absence of effect, there are currently no available scientific reports that provide an evidence-based framework to prove causality between the reported events and mRNA COVID-19 vaccination," the authors wrote.

We can't PROVE the vaccines cause cardiac attacks, but we can also not prove they do not.

BEAUTIFUL.

10-40 athletes collapsing/dying a month isn't anecdotal. It's documented.

We've posted this running list before. Each sourced with supporting links. Not all are due to the vaccines. Some % are. To deny that is to be an ideologue given the mountains of evidence.

Provide a list showing this many deaths/collapses happened monthly prior to the global vaccination campaign.

FDA limits Johnson & Johnson's COVID vaccine to some people due to blood clot risk​

May 5, 20227:37 PM ET

Dustin Jones

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is limiting the use of Johnson & Johnson's Janssen COVID-19 vaccine as a last resort for adults who cannot accept a shot from another manufacturer.

Though the potential benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks, the FDA said Thursday that it is restricting the use of the Janssen vaccine. It will be limited to individuals 18 and older and medically ineligible for another approved vaccine and to those who only have access to the J&J vaccine and want one, according to an FDA news release.

Researchers with the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the vaccine resulted in 60 confirmed cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome. This leads to rare but potentially life-threatening blood clots, the FDA said, one to two weeks after receiving the shot. And with multiple vaccines available, the FDA decided to bench the J&J vaccine, only to be used when other options are unavailable.

"Today's action demonstrates the robustness of our safety surveillance systems and our commitment to ensuring that science and data guide our decisions. We've been closely monitoring the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine and occurrence of TTS following its administration and have used updated information from our safety surveillance systems to revise the EUA," said Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. "The agency will continue to monitor the safety of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and all other vaccines, and as has been the case throughout the pandemic, will thoroughly evaluate new safety information."

More than 18.7 million doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S. since it was first approved for emergency use, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. Of which, a total of 60 cases of TTS have been confirmed, including nine deaths.

In the release, the FDA said, "The factors that put an individual at risk for TTS following administration of Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine remain unknown."

The Janssen vaccine rollout was first paused last spring after six cases of the rare blood clots were reported. The pause was lifted days later and a warning was issued to healthcare providers to be on the lookout for patients with blood clots in combination with low blood platelets.

Analysis of 1866 Deaths in the United States, 1980–2006

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.804617

A total of 1866 athletes who died suddenly (or survived cardiac arrest), 19±6 years of age, were identified throughout the United States from 1980 to 2006 in 38 diverse sports. Reports were less common during 1980 to 1993 (576 [31%]) than during 1994 to 2006 (1290 [69%], P<0.001) and increased at a rate of 6% per year. Sudden deaths were predominantly due to cardiovascular disease (1049 [56%]), but causes also included blunt trauma that caused structural damage (416 [22%]), commotio cordis (65 [3%]), and heat stroke (46 [2%]). Among the 1049 cardiovascular deaths, the highest number of events in a single year was 76 (2005 and 2006), with an average of 66 deaths per year (range 50 to 76) over the last 6 years

The highest number was 76 in a year.

Brilliant, once again. You realize each time you "source" data to back up your claims you just step in a pile of **** right?

From the article:

From January 2004 through December 2008, all cases of sudden death in NCAA student-athletes were identified by use of an NCAA database, weekly systematic search of public media reports, and catastrophic insurance claims. During the 5-year period, there were 273 deaths

That's 5 years. 60 months.

Rates. The rates now of athletes dying is higher. NIH supports this claim. Remember, the gubmint you love to bow to.

That makes no mention of the vaccine. Your point?

From the link I provided in the prior reply, myocarditis is one of the leading causes of sudden deaths in athletes. Covid causes myocarditis. The clot shots cause myocarditis. In fact, they have a label on them warning the patients of this risk.

But your stupid, extra-chromosome *** says "couldn't possibly be because of the perfectly healthy shots." Eyes open son. Some portion of this RISE in athlete deaths is due to these shots.

 

[Stewey]

Now here's an article that's crystal clear.

At the beginning of the article:

In a new study, Yale scientists have identified the immune signature of rare cases of myocarditis among those vaccinated against COVID-19 with mRNA vaccines....
When new COVID-19 vaccines were first administered two years ago, public health officials found an increase in cases of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, particularly among young males who had been vaccinated with mRNA vaccines.

By the time you get to the end of the article:

“I hope this new knowledge will enable further optimizing mRNA vaccines, which, in addition to offering clear health benefits during the pandemic, have a tremendous potential to save lives across numerous future applications,” said Anis Barmada, an M.D./Ph.D. student

Wait a ******* second. "Saving lives" has little relevance here. As stated in this very article, those heavily afflicted with myocarditis are teens and those in their twenties... who almost never die from COVID anyway.
That's just dandy.

Senator Alex Antic had cited statistics showing that cases of Myocarditis spiked precipitously in South Australia following introduction of the COVID injections.

“Now, we know that myocarditis and pericarditis are two heart inflammation conditions well associated with the COVID mRNA injections—even the Theraputic Goods Administration admits to that, Antic began. “Yet despite this well-established fact, the injections were mandated to thousands of Australians and speaking out about these incursions on freedom got one labeled an anti-vaxxer or a peddler of dangerous disinformation,” the senator continued.

Antic cited data he obtained through a Freedom of Information request from the South Australia Health Department that tracked cardiac related presentations in 15-year-olds to 44-year-olds going back to 2018.

The senator showed a chart indicating that the numbers remained steady at 1,100 a month from January 2018 until July of 2021 when it “drastically spiked.” By November of 2021, he said, the number of cases peaked at 2,172 per month, almost double the norm. The rise in cases, he noted, took place “just as these injections were rolled out.”

Antic noted that there was another spike in cardiac related presentations in February of 2023, “just when the boosters were being mandated.”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA vaccine-induced myocarditis is a rare but well-documented complication in young males. The increased incidence of sudden death among athletes following vaccination has been reported and requires further investigation...The epidemiological, autopsy, molecular, and physiological findings unanimously and strongly suggest that a hypercatecholaminergic state is the critical trigger of the rare cases of myocarditis due to components from SARS-CoV-2, potentially increasing sudden deaths among elite male athletes.

Biden pumps $1.4B into the vaccines. Jesus. Follow the money. Seems like lots of people are getting paid. It's less deadly than the flu now.

Next generation of COVID-19 vaccines and therapies gets a $1.4 billion boost​

https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/08/22/next-generation-of-covid-19-vaccines-and-therapies-gets-a-1-4-billion-boost/

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Tuesday announced a $1.4 billion investment in developing the so-called next generation of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response Dawn O’Connell made the announcement, saying the funding is part of the $5 billion program they hope will help the country get ahead of any future changes in COVID-19.

“This is an investment in expanding our country’s ability to respond to the future variants that we might see coming out of COVID,” Becerra said. “It’s an investment in better protecting all of our community, including those who are immunocompromised, and who don’t respond well to the existing vaccines.”

The $1.4 billion in funding should allow clinical trials for a new monoclonal antibody to start this autumn with clinical trials for a new COVID-19 vaccine starting as soon as the winter, O’Connell said.

“Project NextGen is operationalizing the lessons we’ve learned about the COVID-19 virus to broaden the nation’s medicine cabinet and increase protection for all communities,” O’Connell said.

The Biden administration, she said, expects to announce additional funding for Project NextGen programs before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.

The projects funded on Tuesday include

• $1 billion for four Phase IIb clinical trial studies on a COVID-19 vaccine. That funding will go to ICON Government and Public Health Solutions, Inc. of Hinckley, Ohio; Pharm-Olam, LLC, of Houston, Texas; Technical Resources International (TRI) Inc., of Bethesda, Maryland; and Rho Federal Systems Inc., Durham, North Carolina.
• $326 million to Regeneron for a monoclonal antibody to prevent COVID-19.
• $100 million to Global Health Investment Corp., a nonprofit organization that is managing an investment portfolio known as BARDA Ventures, referring to the federal agency called Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. The portfolio should “expand investments in new technologies that will accelerate responses in the future,” according to a statement from HHS.
• $10 million to Johnson & Johnson Innovation for a competition through Blue Knight, which HHS said in its statement is a partnership between BARDA and JLABS.
