BREAKING: 2.23 Million-Person Study Finds Pneumococcal Vaccines Increase Risk of Pneumonia and Death

The vaccines given to nearly every U.S. child and senior were linked to higher pneumonia and death rates in one of the largest real-world studies ever conducted.

For decades, U.S. and European health authorities have promoted pneumococcal vaccination as an “essential” tool to prevent serious bacterial pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

In the United States, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) currently recommends:

  • Infants and children <5 years: a 4-dose series of a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine—PCV15 or PCV20—at 2, 4, 6, and 12–15 months.
  • Adults ≥50 years (PCV-naïve or unknown history): one dose of a PCV—PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21. If PCV15 is used, give PPSV23 one year later (minimum 8 weeks for certain high-risk conditions).
These vaccines are given to tens of millions of Americans every year.

Now, a landmark population-based study published in BMC Infectious Diseases has shattered the rationale for current pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) recommendations. Analyzing outcomes among 2,234,003 adults aged 50 and older in Catalonia, Spain, the authors found that recipients of both PCV13 and PPSV23 were significantly more likely to be hospitalized for pneumonia and more likely to die from pneumonia-related causes compared to their unvaccinated counterparts—even after adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities, and influenza vaccination status.  (See link for article)

Abstract

Background: Evidence supports the safety of the recommended childhood immunization schedule as a whole. However, additional research is warranted as parents’ refusing or delaying vaccinations has increased in recent years. All-cause mortality has been identified as a priority outcome to study in the context of the recommended immunization schedule.

Methods: We included children born January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2009, enrolled in the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) from birth through 18 months of age. We examined vaccination patterns during the first 18 months of life among 8 vaccines, and identified deaths occurring between 19 and 48 months of age. We excluded children with complex chronic conditions, contraindications to vaccination, and deaths due to injuries, congenital anomalies, or diseases with onset prior to 19 months of age. We calculated mortality rates among children with different patterns of immunization, and incidence rate ratios (IRR) using the Cox proportional hazards model for children vaccinated according to the schedule versus undervaccinated children, adjusting for outpatient healthcare utilization, influenza vaccination, sex, and VSD site.

Results: Among 312,388 children in the study, 199,661 (64%) were vaccinated according to the schedule, and 112,727 (36%) were delayed or not vaccinated for at least one vaccine dose. Of 18 deaths eligible for analysis, 11 occurred in children following the schedule (2.28 per 100,000 person-years), and seven occurred in undervaccinated children (2.57 per 100,000 person-years). Mortality rates among children following the schedule were not significantly different from those of undervaccinated children when excluding deaths with unknown causes (IRR = 1.29, 95% CI = 0.33-4.99), as well as when including deaths with unknown causes (IRR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.32-2.99).

Conclusion: Although there were few deaths, our results do not indicate a difference in risk of all-cause mortality among fully vaccinated versus undervaccinated children. Our findings support the safety of the currently recommended immunization schedule with regard to all-cause mortality.

And I agree entirely with Steve Kirsch’s statement:

“I bet those CDC authors cut the time period short to just before things were starting to get interesting.”

This proves school ‘vaccine’ mandates are unfounded and unscientific.

Research Catching Up to Post-Acute COVID-19 ‘Vaccination’ Syndrome

https://imahealth.substack.com/p/from-fringe-to-focus-how-research?

From Fringe to Focus: How Research Is Catching Up to Post-Acute COVID-19 Vaccination Syndrome (PACVS)

PACVS (Post-Acute COVID Vaccine Syndrome) is real, and the science is finally opening up. Months ago, IMA researchers broke ground. Now, another team is validating what patients have known all along.

Independent Medical Alliance

Research catching up to PACVS

Those suffering from Post-Acute COVID-19 Vaccination Syndrome (PACVS) face not only debilitating symptoms but also institutional resistance to recognition, diagnosis, and care. Despite these barriers, researchers are beginning to shed light on this under-recognized condition. Those who follow IMA know we’ve been working in this space for years—seeing our peers in the research community finally open up is more than encouraging.

A recent publication by Yong et al. in Reviews in Medical Virology offers one of the most comprehensive summaries to date on PACVS (which they refer to as Post-COVID-19 Vaccination Syndrome, or PCVS). Their team, spanning 25 institutions, reviewed existing scientific literature and highlighted several important areas of progress:

*See references in https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/rmv.70070

Key Takeaways from the Review:

Terminology

The review outlines the evolving language around this condition—from “Long Vax” to “post-vac syndrome.” At the Independent Medical Alliance, we’ve adopted Post-Acute COVID-19 Vaccination Syndrome (PACVS) as our standard terminology to reflect both the temporal and mechanistic distinctions from Long COVID.

Symptom Clusters

The article identifies hallmark symptoms that will be familiar to both clinicians and patients: fatigue, cognitive dysfunction (brain fog), and paresthesia.

*This figure for post-COVID-19 syndrome is reproduced under an Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license

The image above is adapted from an earlier study on “post-COVID-19 syndrome” (long COVID). The more recent article expands on this by introducing additional system categories: autonomic, visual, auditory, gustatory**, and multi-system syndromes that highlight a broader range of physiological effects.

It introduces new symptoms, including

  • paresthesia
  • neuropathy
  • tremors
  • orthostatic hypotension
  • fluctuating blood pressure or heart rate
  • heat or cold intolerance
  • vision problems
  • tinnitus
  • taste dysfunction
  • urticaria
  • exercise intolerance.

It also adds a new section on multi-system and immune-mediated conditions such as POTS, SFN, ME/CFS, myocarditis, VITT, and ITP, framing the syndrome as a more complex, vaccine-specific condition with autonomic and immune involvement beyond the generalized symptoms in the second image.

Proposed Mechanisms

The authors explore two leading hypotheses for PACVS: one centering on spike protein–induced tissue damage and another on dysregulated immune responses. While not mutually exclusive, both warrant deeper investigation.

Treatment Landscape

Though research is still early, the paper compiles a useful snapshot of current treatment strategies—ranging from manual therapies (e.g., compression garments, vestibular rehab) to pharmaceuticals (SNRIs, modafinil) and nutraceuticals (melatonin, NADH, acetyl-l-carnitine).

📣 Call for Papers: PACVS Special Edition

Our team at the Independent Medical Alliance has made PACVS research a central focus. Now, we’re inviting submissions for a special edition of the Journal of Independent Medicine dedicated to this emerging condition. If you’re studying spike injury, vaccine-related syndromes, or chronic post-injection effects, we encourage you to submit your work or learn more here before the submission deadline of December 31, 2025.

The Yong et al. review is a welcome contribution to the growing PACVS landscape, but much more research is urgently needed. Our team recently published a complementary case series on PACVS mechanisms and treatment hypotheses, available here:

FCC Moves to Silence Communities and Flood the Country with Cell Towers

Take Action: Stop Unchecked Cell Tower Expansion - Image of cell towers

Imagine waking up to a giant cell tower right next to your home or child’s school. If adopted, new rules proposed by the FCC will give the wireless industry dictatorial control of cell tower placement, giving them the right to install them anywhere and everywhere – and there will be virtually nothing you can do to stop it.

Tell your members of Congress and FCC Commissioners to stop these rules from being adopted!

Take Action Now

Here’s what the proposed rules mean for your community:

  • Silences your community’s voice. What the FCC calls “streamlining” is really shutting you out. Public hearings would disappear, conditional and special use permits would vanish, and elected officials would be powerless. Decisions about your streets, your schools, and your safety would be made in Washington, D.C., not where you live.
  • Automatic tower approval after 150 days. The FCC calls local review “unreasonable delays.” If your city doesn’t rubber-stamp a tower application in time, it’s approved automatically — even if there is fierce local opposition.
  • No independent review. The FCC wants to bar localities from hiring their own experts to test radiation safety. Instead, the industry would police itself — and communities would be forced to take their word for it.
  • Lose existing protections. The FCC wants to force towers in the middle of quiet residential streets, on playgrounds, over classrooms, scenic hilltops, pastoral farmland, and in historic districts — and your neighborhood will have no power to stop it.
  • Threatens property rights and local budgets. The FCC wants to strip communities of the ability to cover the true costs of oversight or protect property values. Families could see their biggest investment — their homes — lose value overnight, with no compensation and no recourse.
This is a hill to die on. Go to link to demand that these dangerous new rules are not adopted.

In August 2022 Biologist and researcher Alfonso Balmori published a thorough review of the existing scientific literature on the effects of base station (cell tower) antennas on humans in Environmental Research titled, Evidence for a health risk by RF on humans living around mobile phone base stations: from radiofrequency sickness to cancer. He states in the abstract, 

“Overall results of this review show three types of effects by base station antennas on the health of people: radiofrequency sickness (RS), cancer (C) and changes in biochemical parameters (CBP). Considering all the studies reviewed globally (n = 38), 73.6% (28/38) showed effects: 73.9% (17/23) for radiofrequency sickness, 76.9% (10/13) for cancer and 75.0% (6/8) for changes in biochemical parameters...Of special importance are the studies performed on animals or trees near base station antennas that cannot be aware of their proximity and to which psychosomatic effects can never be attributed.”

Cell Tower Dangers

Wireless telephone systems work on a different concept from radio transmission systems most people are familiar with, such as television and radio stations. In most types of radio transmission systems, the object is to transmit your signal as far as possible, in order to maximize the amount of listeners or viewers you may have. In cellular systems, the object is to transmit a controlled signal. This is done to maximize the amount of channels that are given to each cellular provider for use.

Cellular systems are assigned a set number of channels for a given area, usually around 400. In order to maximize the amount of calls/channels per given geographic area, they break the coverage area into a series of cells. Each cell can cover anywhere from a one mile radius from the base station in the city and urban areas to a 10 mile radius in the countryside and rural areas. Usually an arrangement of seven repeating cells is used, with 50 or 60 channels used per cell.

As you move a mobile phone between these cells, the mobile phone is ‘handed off’ between the cell sites and channels, being controlled by the mobile telephone switching office (MTSO), or mobile switching center (MSC). This makes use of the most important part of the cellular system, frequency re-use. There are only a limited amount of channels available in any cellular system, and this system makes the same channel available in different geographic parts of the system, to different users.

Signals are sent back and forth between the MTSO and the cell site over high capacity circuits (DS3) or microwave links. This is known as backhaul, or the process of bringing the signal from the switch to and from the individual cell site. There are two main frequencies used for wireless telephone communications in the United States. These are 1.9 Ghz (1900 Mhz) and 800 Mhz. All systems using 1.9 Ghz utilize digital technology and are referred to as PCS http://www.emfnews.org/headset.html

New Study Connects Wireless Radiation, Oxidative Stress, and Alzheimer’s Disease

New Study Connects Wireless Radiation, Oxidative Stress, and Alzheimer’s Disease

Oct 13, 2025

Researchers in Peru this week published a peer-reviewed analysis indicating that there are some common genes involved in Alzheimer’s Disease that are also affected by electromagnetic fields.

Applying rigorous criteria, the authors of this systematic review were able to show a relationship between the genes involved in Alzheimer’s and those that appear to be stimulated by electromagnetic fields. This raises important questions, particularly considering that according to the Cleveland Clinic nearly 50 percent of people over the age of 85 experience some form of dementia.

“What if a contributor to that turns out to be EMF?” EHT founder Dr. Devra Davis asks. “This new study indicates that oxidative stress also plays a role in the development of Alzheimer’s. We know that EMF induces oxidative stress—that has been established. This raises many interesting questions that we must actively investigate. And while we continue to follow up, this impressive study further strengthens the case for caution and reduction of exposure.”

The authors of the study, which appears in the current issue of Frontiers in Neurology, conclude, “Exposure to 2.4 GHz electromagnetic fields emitted by Wi-Fi devices could have an indirect impact on the regulation of genes involved in Alzheimer’s disease, particularly those related to oxidative stress and cellular homeostasis.” They specifically point out, “The alteration of genes such as GSK3B and APOE, which are fundamental in neurodegeneration, could be exacerbated by chronic exposure to this radiation.”

While many studies have demonstrated effects of electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system, this new research draws an important connection to Alzheimer’s, which the authors and EHT agree merits further investigation.

“It is exciting to know that scientists can now analyze the impact of an environmental stressor such as EMFs on individual genomic expression,” said Dr. Robert Brown, EHT’s vice president of scientific research and clinical affairs. “Over time, we will certainly gain a better understanding of the impact wireless radiation and electropollution in general are having on all living organisms.”

While this summary may be enough to encourage many of us to rethink holding a cell phone against our skulls, Dr. Brown also offered a more detailed reaction, with deeper insight into the highlighted genetic response. “This review addresses the genomic connection between the excessive production of reactive oxygen species and the development of oxidative stress from 2.4 GHz wireless communication radiation leading to protein denaturation and formation of protein aggregates—a known feature of Alzheimer’s disease. The review points to key genomic sequences that are impacted by 2.4 GHz radiation which hobbles the cell’s ability to function properly and to disassemble these aggregates leading to their accumulation.”

For readers fluent in genetics or biochemistry, this may be easy to follow. For the rest of us, what we really want to know is how this might impact our lives, and the lives of our loved ones. Dr. Brown answers that question more simply:

“This study only looked at the impact of 2.4 GHz on Alzheimer’s, but protein denaturation is a key component of other neurodegenerative diseases, such as Lewy body dementia and Parkinson’s disease, in addition to amyloidosis. Over time, research studies will hopefully delve into the role of EMF exposure on the development of these diseases too.”

In the meantime, we recommend taking a few simple steps to safer use of wireless technology!

Global Surveillance Is Here: The WHO Just Made It Official  Redacted News

10/21/25

Interestingly, AI developers recently admitted threw cold water on AI.  A few key points:
  • AI cannot reason about anything it hasn’t already been trained on
  • AI is not comparable to humans or even animals in the way they learn
  • AI models lack cognition, which means most jobs can not be automated
  • GPT-5 doesn’t solve math problems.  It merely presents online publications by mathematicians who already solved them.

Seems WHO didn’t get the memo.
