Starting to question the Covid narrative?

When you are ready, the World Council for Health is here for you

OCT 27, 2023
By Dr. Tess Lawrie

At some point you may decide to act on the nagging thoughts that won’t go away and start exploring. Once you start on this journey it will become impossible to un-know what you find out.

It is nearly four years now since the arrival of a Covid 19 – a watershed event that ruptured society along new fault lines. Governments around the World agreed on a common response and we were subjected to lockdowns, masks, and inoculations to combat a deadly virus. We were encouraged to comply with official guidelines by appealing to our virtuous natures: our respect for authority, trust in professionals, sense of responsibility, compassion for the vulnerable, and willingness to sacrifice our individual needs for the ‘greater good’.

While most people went along with what the World Health Organization decreed through national governments, a variety of experts and many others were skeptical, expressing concern about the draconian and unscientific measures imposed and their likely impacts on all aspects of human life. Despite their honorable intentions, dissident voices were roundly criticized for being selfish, uncaring, and a danger to society.

For these sceptics, most of the official guidelines made no sense at all. But instead of their well-researched concerns being taken seriously and debated, they were quickly denounced. The Covid caravan kept rumbling along, ignoring contradictory evidence and ethical concerns.  (See link for article).  This article was co-written by Alice Ashwell, Charlie Efford and Tess Lawrie.

ACIP Annual Review Was a Bust

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) met October 25-26, 2023, for their annual review of the childhood and adult schedules, as well as updates on changes to come.

Much of the discussion revolved around how complicated the schedule is because it’s growing so quickly. Chair Grace Lee made the comment,

“I can see we’re going to need a bigger refrigerator for all the vaccines.” And Matt Daley observed, we’re “going to run into the situation where we can’t fit the schedule on one page.”

Top takeaways:

  1. The schedules are now for “vaccines and other immunizing agents,” because of the addition of nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody, aimed at preventing RSV in infants. This is an unwelcome expansion of what can go on the table.
  2. The Mpox vaccine was put on the childhood schedule, even though the vaccine is not licensed for children. It is recommended for use in at-risk adolescents at the age of 18, with acknowledgement that the recommendation could change once data from trials in 12-18-year-olds is available. The committee voted for federal purchases of the Mpox vaccine through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. Mpox is the second non-licensed, EUA vaccine added to the schedule. This addition is notable for School-based Health Centers (SBHCs) as well, as the addition to the schedule would trigger the ability for children to be given the drug without parental knowledge or consent.
  3. The Adult Immunization Schedule is expanding in tandem with the childhood schedule, and the drumbeat for a “Vaccines for Adults” financing program to mirror VFC sounded loudly throughout the two days.
  4. The RSV vaccine was added to both the adult and childhood schedules for pregnant mothers, but as of publication, RSV is not covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. People anticipate that it will be, but since RSV vaccines will be new to “vaccine court,” additional regulatory steps must be taken.
  5. Expect meningococcal (“meningitis”) vaccine recommendations to mutate as Pfizer’s new “pentavalent” vaccine was licensed. Though the ACIP wasn’t in lockstep yet about how to recommend three different meningococcal shots (one with five strains, one with four, and one with only one), they did all agree an update was necessary and that Pfizer’s new product should be paid for by taxpayers through VFC.
  6. Immunization manufacturers have a blank check for adding to the schedule on a rolling basis, as a new addendum has been added as a placeholder for anticipated changes or additions to the schedule. (We know the GBS vaccine for pregnant mothers is very close to the end of the pipeline.)
  7. A common talking point through many presentations were the shortcomings of “commercialization” through sales of the drugs directly from manufacturers, rather than a public health program of massive purchases and subsequent distribution. In other words, the government claims they’re better at getting people to take vaccines than the private sector is. Let’s keep an eye on where the rubber meets the road on this: Will we see an acceleration of public-private partnerships? Will the government become more of a market player as stock prices drop from their astronomical COVID heights?
  8. There was considerable discussion about the rush for the ACIP to publish recommendations after the FDA grants a new or expanded license. The 21st Century Cures Act mandates that the ACIP move along quickly, but one of the members also made a telling comment about the role of the ACIP in comparison to the practice of medicine: “No recommendation means people will have to make up what they’re going to do with no guidance.” That mentality reflects the fact that the “practice” of medicine (with the federal government at the helm) has become following directions, rather than individualized and thoughtful care.
  9. Injury claims in the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) for COVID products are at 12,233; 9,221 of which are from the jab.
  10. Saved the best updates for last: As the number of recommended shots in pregnancy increases, uptake decreases. To address that, multiple presentations cited new propoganda statistics about how safe and effective flu shots during pregnancy are.
  11. The government’s National Immunization Survey showed 7.1% of adults and 2.1% of children self-reported getting the new 2023-2024 COVID shot. These numbers are higher than reality, because the data comes from people who are willing to answer a government survey, giving a very slanted picture.

If you’re feeling gloom and doom, be uplifted by the comment made by David Kimberlin from the American Academy of Pediatrics, who was stuttering in disbelief at the low numbers of people vaccinated with the latest COVID shot and the high number of people who say they don’t plan on it for themselves or their children. 

“Um… Two percent of children have received the current version of the vaccine, and 40% of parents say they’re not going to get their children vaccinated. Seven percent of adults have received the current vaccine; forty percent or so say they’re not going to get vaccinated. Uh, this is…I don’t even really have words for this…I-I-I-I-I appreciate everything that, you know, the AAP is doing, that-that ACIP is doing, CDC and so forth to, to make recommendations, but the recommendations are not being heard.”

Spike Protein in Heart Cells Within 48 Hours of Injection

mRNA COVID Vaccines Form Spike Protein in Heart Cells, but Cause Different Anomalies: Research Article

New research observing rat and human heart cells shows that within 48 hours of vaccination, the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines form spike proteins.
10/22/2023

New research out of Germany observing rat and human heart cells shows that within 48 hours of vaccination, the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines form spike proteins.

Spike proteins, made from the mRNA instructions inside the vaccines, were detected in the heart cells. While both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines caused cell abnormalities, the two induced different anomalies.

The different responses the cells had to the two mRNA vaccines suggest an mRNA toxicity reaction in these cells, according to Dr. Peter McCullough, a leading internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist who has published over 1,000 research reports and is the lead author of one of the first widely utilized treatment regimens for SARS-CoV-2 patients. He added that 48 hours was a short amount of time to observe this.

“The findings support both the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac events following mRNA-based COVID vaccination,” the authors wrote, adding that the findings may explain persistent cardiac symptoms among long-COVID patients.(See link for article)

**Comment**

The article has now been updated and includes a video comparing unvaxxed rat heart cells vs vaxxed.  They found:

  • Pfizer-“vaxxed” cells displayed stronger, sustained contractions (1B) due to increased protein kinase A (PKA) activity. PKA levels are linked to heart performance; the higher the PKA level, the stronger the heart contractions.
  • Moderna-“vaxxed” cells developed irregular heart contractions and disrupted calcium regulation. The authors attributed the change in cell activity to disturbances in RyR2 receptors. These receptors play a key role in coordinating heart contractions using calcium. Some of the heart muscles administered Moderna vaccines developed irregular and peristaltic contractions (1C and 1D), whereas others had irregular and arrhythmic contractions (1E and 1F).

The authors also found damage is closer to cardiomyopathy by toxic stress (heart muscles are structurally and functionally abnormal in the absence of other heart diseases) than myocarditis & pericarditis (heart muscles are inflamed and damaged.)

Also, the varying responses indicate the cardiac abnormalities may suggest toxicity in the mRNA itself rather than the spike protein which both injections have.

Finding Happiness Even When You’re Chronically Ill

Finding happiness even when you’re chronically ill

By Mark Rego, MD

10/10/23

In my years of psychiatric practice and my following years of illness, one problem has appeared unsolvable. How does someone who is chronically ill (me included) build a happy life?

The usual recipes for happiness simply do not work if your life is marked by continuous illness. The obstacles of disease will sabotage plans taken from normal life.

So, how do you advise someone whose life has been brought to a halt by illness on how to build a new, contented existence? Is there a different recipe for the chronically ill?

Chronic illness: physical and mental dimensions

So, what and who do I mean by chronically ill? What are the limitations of being ill, and how do they thwart the usual formulas for happiness? And, finally, is there a way around these barriers?

The diseases I have in mind are things like rheumatologic disorders (severe arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus), neurologic disorders (multiple sclerosis, degenerative diseases), severe mental illness (when severe, almost any mental disorder fits here), injuries that leave you impaired and in pain, cancer, and other severe medical conditions, such as organ failure (congestive heart failure, kidney failure, liver insufficiency, significant breathing impairment, etc.). [Editor’s note: and persistent Lyme disease!]

When serious enough, these illnesses have something in common. They leave you greatly diminished. This can be forever or for long stretches that will undo much of your life.

There is less of all of you, not just a bad bone, back, or blood test. You can no longer get up in the morning and go out to live your plans. Work, taking care of yourself, having regular personal interactions, and, lastly, some frequent enjoyment become parts of your past.

Your shrinking world

This is not normal aging or the physical limitations that many people face. It is a fundamental change in all of your life. A change that shrinks your world to a lesser version of everything you knew.

People will compliment your fighting spirit. You are brave and heroic and have amazing coping skills. But it rings hollow. In reality, you tread water very well. Or, perhaps, you are told it’s the journey, not the destination. But the sick already have a journey; what they want is a life.

You work hard to get better, go to doctors, take medicines, and do rehabilitation and psychotherapy. If you’re in this group, you know that this work is never done.

What troubles me most about these situations is wherever I look for advice on building a happy life, these unlucky souls are not included.

Finding happiness in sickness and in health

Such advice is generally based on either finding meaningful activity or having strong connections to others. How does one do these things when isolated and disabled from chronic illness? Trouble walking, shortness of breath, persistent pain, problems with mood and thoughts, or the low energy that is almost universal in this group make even brief tasks quite difficult.

For meaningful activity or connecting to others, you need to be places on certain days, at certain times, and for a certain number of hours. Sickness knows no such schedules. Bad days appear when they will.

If lucky, you have folks who will visit. But these are visits to your life; they are not in your life the way immediate family members, coworkers, and others you may see and talk to regularly are. While such visits are greatly appreciated and enjoyed, they do not constitute the full dimensions of a social life. Being in someone’s life means knowing the ins and outs of their days. The catch-ups that occupy many visits are not needed in these connections.

Another common obstacle to happiness is depression itself. This is very often a part of the sickness process. But if we look at research about impediments to recovery from depression, we find that people who are in pain, chronically ill, disabled, or isolated all have difficulty recovering. The sick are often all of these.

Of course, sometimes things come together, and a different version of life takes shape. People find a place for themselves, maybe some work that is doable and meaningful. I am not sure how often this happens, but such experiences are not the rule.

Step 1: Build back a version of what you had

So, what are some guidelines for happiness for the sick? The first step is to build back a version of what was lost. This entails calls and emails to invite friends for a visit. As stated above, this will not be a full replacement for a social life, but without connections, people wither and become depressed. In addition, activities to pass your time with a modicum of interest or enjoyment must be found. Time passes very slowly without things to do.

The burden of rebuilding falls squarely upon the chronically ill. A life must be built brick by brick. But as discussed above, this is not enough. There is more work to be done.

Step 2: Acceptance as a necessary bridge

The next step is the work of acceptance. It is hard to underestimate how deeply we can reject the reality of our lives. Emotional acceptance of circumstances is not assured by the passage of time. There are, of course, many ways to walk this leg of the journey. Religions have ways to approach this, but many people find their own paths. This work is an ongoing process. Grieving losses such as your own health, work, and social life can be a lifelong process.

Acceptance is a bridge to the next step. This is because the flip side of acceptance is letting go of the burdens of normal life. By accepting your plight, you also allow yourself to participate less in worldly goings on. This frees you to spend time as you like.

Step 3: Building a bigger internal world

This brings us to the final and most important step: building an internal life. Normal life is lived in the world. It gets bigger as we do more, grow our skills and relationships, and expand our horizons. Chronic illness ends this.

As your external life grows smaller, your internal life must now expand. The path is lit by wonder, amazement, curiosity, and interest. Find what amazes you and begin there. This might be revisiting things that were fascinating in school but you could not do more of. Or perhaps you are learning something you have always wondered about. An art, craft, skill, a secret story to follow, or a new one to tell.

In my case, I took up portrait painting (something I never would have imagined) and studied areas of science that I loved in school but did not have any role in my job as a psychiatrist. Each time I begin one of these, I am excited about what I will discover. They are new worlds for me.

Find what amazes you and begin there

How does a chronically ill person find this? The way is to ask what amazes you. What makes a small smile appear on your lips, not because it is funny but because it is beautiful and amazing, incredibly interesting, beyond understanding? Then open a book, a web page, or whatever tools you need. A daily meal of what expands the horizons within your mind becomes the guiding path of your new life. The more something astonishes you, the more space it will open within you.

There is no one you must help here, nothing to build or express. No homework. No reports. No schedule or tasks to do. You do it just because it amazes, excites, piques your curiosity. This is enough and has been the driving energy behind the most incredible lives. This is when you exercise the flip side of acceptance and excuse yourself from needing to achieve something other than to be very interested.

Will this lead to other things? Maybe. But the point is, it does not need to. It will be just you and a happier you with a spacious inner world to explore.

The chronically ill build a happy life by constructing a version of normal life, finding acceptance for a new self, and, most importantly, expanding their inner life. You can reside in a small part of the external world but have endless room to roam in what delights and astounds you.

Yes, Insurance Companies Pay Doctors To “Vaccinate” Kids & Now They Are Using Virtual Reality to Get the Job Done & to Monitor People For “Mental Health”

Doctors Get $40K Per Hundred Babies Injected

GREG REESE
OCT 25, 2023

For many years doctors have received bonuses for adherence to the latest drug therapy protocol. Drugs that are known to be dangerous such as statins and anti-depressants. And now we know that insurance companies are paying doctors to fully vaccinate your children.

This incentive program for vaccinating babies can be found in the Blue Cross Blue Shield doctor incentives booklet. And specifies that every patient under the age of two that receives the currently prescribed twenty-four inoculations is worth a four-hundred dollar payout to that doctor.

For further motivation, they get paid by the hundred and they have to vaccinate a certain percentage of their total patients or they don’t get anything. Blue Cross Blue Shield rules say that a doctor needs to vaccinate sixty-three percent of their patients in order to qualify.  (See link for article and video)

______________

SUMMARY:

  • Pediatricians often won’t care for families who don’t comply to the Childhood Vaccine Schedule.
  • Research shows that an unvaccinated child has a 5,000% less chance of death.
  • Doctors are now using virtual reality on children who don’t want the injections.

Apple Has Discussed Using Vision Pro for Mental Health Diagnosis, Treatment

By Wayne Ma
Oct. 25, 2023
Article Excerpt:

So far, Apple has pitched its upcoming Vision Pro mixed-reality headset as a tool for working and enjoying various forms of entertainment. But inside the company, employees have also discussed another, more specialized use of the product as a way to diagnose and treat mental health issues, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.

Such features would tap the device’s array of cameras and sensors to measure a person’s facial expressions, using them to detect depression, anxiety, stress or post-traumatic stress disorder, the people said. The Vision Pro could display images and sounds that might improve the wearer’s emotions, one of the people said. Various rules restrict companies from marketing medical functions in their devices without an OK from regulators. Over time, Apple has received clearance from regulators for health features in the Apple Watch—such as the ability to detect an irregular heart rhythm—which has broadened its appeal beyond a mere fashion accessory. (Full article.)

An unsuspecting public isn’t pondering how this information can be used against them – based upon supposed “symptoms” which will be used to identify people who don’t comply with the flavor of the day government edicts.  Do not provide your health data to Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Media, or Big Government.  Your health and medical information should be a private matter between you and your doctor.  I’d also avoid on-line medical services which can and has been hacked and used in nefarious ways.
