WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Misinformation about science is increasingly prevalent and a significant public health threat that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will focus on fighting, incoming Commissioner Robert Califf said on Thursday.

Califf, who was sworn in on Thursday, did not specify any particular misinformation the FDA should fight, but millions of Americans still refuse COVID-19 vaccines, with many conservative media outlets and Republicans in the U.S. Congress spreading doubt about their effectiveness.  (See link for article)

Unfortunately the ‘powers that be’ continue to use slight of hand tricks utilizing division to accomplish their goal of putting a needle in each and every arm come hell or high water.

Hopefully by now it is clear as day that these corrupt, powerful public health ‘authorities’ have severe conflicts of interest, direct ties to Big Pharma, and are now guilty of trying to stop free speech – which is a bedrock of freedom, and crucial for true science.  People should also be free to disagree and make their own choices. Medical freedom is particularly precious as across the board, “one size fits all” medicine is fundamentally flawed due to not taking individual differences, medical history, and personally held beliefs into account.

The gigantic elephant in the room is these experimental, mandated injections (which aren’t vaccines), haven’t stopped transmission or infection. They have caused more adverse reactions and death than any other vaccine in the history of VAERS, and have not had any measurable impact on COVID mortality.  In short, they don’t work.

Califf, age 70, was FDA commissioner under Obama and has been severely criticized for his response to the opioid crisis.  He previously worked as a Big Pharma consultant and has millions in pharmaceutical investments.  Nine out of the last 10 FDA commissioners went on to work for Big Pharma or serve on a prescription drug company’s board of directors.  The FDA is broken, has mislead the public, is a captured agency, and has has lost ALL credibility.

This emphasis on fighting ‘misinformation’ is all a ruse for censorship upon anything the ‘powers that be’ deem a threat to their vested interests and has nothing whatsoever to do with health or science.  True science evolves, where debate and disagreement is encouraged as new information is continually being added to the picture.

THE VIRAL DELUSION

The Tragic Pseudoscience of SARS-CoV2 & The Madness of Modern Virology

“Amazing. Should be translated into every language on the planet.” ~ Dr. Vicci Costa

The Untold Story Behind The Pandemic

The doctors, scientists and journalists featured in THE VIRAL DELUSION examine in detail the scientific papers that were used to justify the pandemic, and what they find is shattering. In this shocking, five-part, seven hour documentary series, they explode every single major claim, from the “isolation” of the virus to its so-called genetic sequencing, from the discovery of how to “test” for SARS-CoV2 to the emergence of “variants” that in reality, they explain, exist only on a computer. Their point: that the so-called SARS-CoV-2 virus exists only as a mental construct whose existence in the real world has been disproven by the science itself.

They then go back through history to reveal how the birth and growth of virology has led to massive misunderstanding and misdiagnosis of disease: from Smallpox to the Spanish Flu, Polio to AIDS, to COVID itself – putting the pandemic in a whole new context better understood not as settled science, but the tragic culmination of misunderstood biology by the growing cult of virology, built on pseudo-science, to which much of the rest of the medical profession defers without understanding or examination, and the tragic consequences that have been wrought in its name.

In 2019, the virologists took center stage, and for the first time on film, their methods, miscues and tragedy they have wrought are put under the spotlight, revealing the extraordinary leaps of fantasy buried in their methodology, the contradictions quietly acknowledged in their papers, their desperate effort to change language to justify their findings, the obvious incongruence of their conclusions and the extraordinary stakes for our entire society in whether we continue to blindly follow their lead into a full-scale war against nature itself.

Featuring: Andrew Kaufman, MD; Tom Cowan, MD; Stefan Lanka, Virologist; Torsten Engelbrecht, journalist; Claus Kohnlein, MD; Kevin Corbett, PhD RN; David Rasnick, Biochemist PhD; Mark Bailey, MD; Dawn Lester and David Parker, Authors; Stefan Scoglio, Biochemist PhD; Saeed Qureeshi, Chemist PhD; Celia Farber, Journalist; Harold Wallach, PhD; Pam Popper, PhD, ND; Charles Geshekter, PhD; Amanda Volmer ND, Jim West, Author; Larry Palevsky MD; and more.

See The Series. Share the wisdom of these brave and brilliant voices.

As scary as our times are, they are pregnant with possibility: the possibility for a wider understanding of our health and our politics, the possibility of working together to free ourselves from misguided medical authorities, disastrous heath protocols and the corruption and injustice that leads to poor access to healthy food, limited access to fresh clean water, dwindling opportunities to breathe fresh clean air, lives filled with extraordinary stress and the un-stopped toxification of our planet – the known causes of disease.

FYI: I do not claim to understand all of this.  It’s far above my pay-grade; however, I will state there is disagreement in the scientific community on the viral issue.  Regarding COVID, China’s chief epidemiologist is on record stating:

“They didn’t isolate the virus, and that is the problem.” ~ Dr. Wu Zunyou

One thing is for sure, something funny is clearly going on. Dr. Malone states it quite simply.

Subject: Re: Questioning the appointment of Dr. Sunil K. Sood to the Working Group

To: Drs Dixon and Sood,

I happened to log onto today’s session right when the topic was persistent infection. I just finished a round of doxycycline for a chronic epididymitis that I have been treating for the past five months! As soon as symptoms return, I have been prescribed yet another antibiotic and the urologists aren’t telling me it’s post treatment epididymitis.

In my early twenties it took eighteen months to clear a chronic prostatitis and the military clinicians at the time didn’t say, “You’ve had enough antibiotics because chronic prostatitis is a religious belief.”

In reference to Lyme, my daughter returned to baseline health after 3.5yrs on a combination of antibiotics and my wife returned to baseline health after 2.5 years; both were seriously ill. Thanks to Dr. Sam Donta they received a diagnosis because both had CDC negative Western blots.  

I sent you and all members of the TBDWG a copy of Lyme patient Vicki Logan’s positive culture test performed at the CDC’s Fort Collins lab. Ms. Logan was treated with many months of oral and IV antibiotics so how does this one single patient culture immediately positive for the infection when hundreds of test subjects from the Klempner trials did not? You can understand why the Lyme patient community is suspect of NIH trials that may have design flaws leading to results that support the existing dogma.

In addition, what about this study of twelve Lyme patients from Canada?

Persistent Borrelia Infection in Patients with Ongoing Symptoms of Lyme Disease
http://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/6/2/33

All of these patients were culture positive for infection (genital secretions, skin “Morgellons” and blood) even after multiple years on antibiotics so there was no relief from current antimicrobials. Some of these patients had taken as many as eleven different types of antibiotics.

Dr. Dixon, one of those studies you mentioned today showed patients with Lyme had a quality of life equal or worse to those with congenital heart disease and yet Lyme patients are routinely denied Social Security Disability compensation. Why is that?

For the record, here are links to the seven-page autopsy results of patient Vicky Logan showing histopathologic findings consistent with neurologic manifestations of chronic Lyme disease. (personal Dropbox storage area)

(Vicky Logan’s Autopsy results Page #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

The destructive nature of Borrelia is evident in Vicky Logan’s liver (nutmeg liver), kidneys, heart, lungs and brain. The patient died after the insurer refused additional IV antibiotic therapy. (Medical Execution)

And we’re still debating persistent infection? WHY???

Eur Neurol 1995; 35:113–117 (DOI:10.1159/000117104)

Abstract

We report an unusual patient with evidence of Borrelia burgdorferi infection who experienced repeated neurologic relapses despite aggressive antibiotic therapy. Each course of therapy was associated with a Jarisch-Herxheimer-like reaction. Although the patient never had detectable free antibodies to B. burgdorferi in serum or spinal fluid, the CSF was positive on multiple occasions for complexed anti-B. burgdorferi antibodies, B. burgdorferi nucleic acids and free antigen.

Let’s review another early publication where persistent infection was recognized:

May 13, 1988

2. Fatal Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome in a Patient With Lyme Disease
Michael Kirsch, MD; Frederick L. Ruben, MD; Allen C. Steere, MD; et al
JAMA. 1988;259(18):2737-2739. doi:10.1001/jama.1988.03720180063034

Abstract

A dry cough, fever, generalized maculopapular rash, and myositis developed in a 67-year-old woman; she also had markedly abnormal liver function test results. Serologic tests proved that she had an infection of recent onset with Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent that causes Lyme disease. During a two-month course of illness, her condition remained refractory to treatment with antibiotics, salicylates, and steroids. Ultimately, fatal adult respiratory distress syndrome developed; this was believed to be secondary to Lyme disease.

3. Granulomatous hepatitis associated with chronic Borrelia burgdorferi infection: a case report
http://www.labome.org/research/Granulomatous-hepatitis-associated-with-c
The patient had active, systemic Borrelia burgdorferi infection and consequent Lyme hepatitis, despite antibiotic therapy. Spirochetes were identified as Borrelia burgdorferi by molecular testing with specific DNA probes.

4. Culture evidence of Lyme disease in antibiotic treated patients living in the Southeast.
http://danielcameronmd.com/culture-evidence-of-lyme-disease-in-antibioti
Rudenko and colleagues reported culture confirmation of chronic Lyme disease in 24 patients in North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. All had undergone previous antibiotic treatment

5. DNA sequencing diagnosis of off-season spirochetemia with low bacterial density in Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi infections.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24968274
Faulty/misleading antibody tests landed a sixteen year old male in a psychiatric ward when his lab results did not meet the CDC’s strict criteria for positive results. His Western blot had only four of the required five IgG bands. Subsequent DNA sequencing identified a spirochetemia in this patient’s blood so his psychiatric issues were a result of neurologic Lyme disease misdiagnosed by antiquated/misleading serology. This patient was previously treated with antibiotics.

6. The Long-Term Persistence of Borrelia burgdorferi Antigens and DNA in the Tissues of a Patient with Lyme Disease
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6963883/
Autopsy tissue sections of the brain, heart, kidney, and liver were analyzed by histological and immunohistochemical methods (IHC), confocal microscopy, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and whole-genome sequencing (WGS)/metagenomics. We found significant pathological changes, including borrelial spirochetal clusters, in all of the organs using IHC combined with confocal microscopy.

7. Persistent Borrelia Infection in Patients with Ongoing Symptoms of Lyme Disease
http://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/6/2/33
“This pilot study recently identified chronic Lyme disease in twelve patients from Canada. All of these patients were culture positive for infection (genital secretions, skin and blood) even after multiple years on antibiotics so there was no relief from current antimicrobials. Some of these patients had taken as many as eleven different types of antibiotics.”
________________________

Persistent infection after extensive antibiotic treatment has been identified through the use of direct detection methods in academic centers and autopsy findings yet the average patient cannot obtain these tests to justify how sick they are with their chronic active infection. Serology cannot be used to gauge treatment failure or success which makes it the ideal tool for concealing persistent infection.

Serology has allowed the 30-year dogma to persevere [iii] whereas direct detection methods are exposing the exact opposite.

We are dealing with a life-altering/life-threatening infection with faulty/misleading antibody tests, inadequate treatment, no medical training and absolutely no disease control whatsoever; a public health disaster. And what was the reason for the mishandling of this coexisting pandemic you might ask?

A chronic relapsing seronegative disease does not fit the vaccine model. The rush to create a vaccine here in the United States promoted the denial of persistent infection and focusing on the acute stage of disease hides the horribly disabled.

**Comment**
Tuttle is spot on. Why is a persistent infection with Lyme/MSIDS titled “post Lyme disease syndrome,” when other diseases are not labeled in such a way to purposefully deny persistent infection, and therefore appropriate treatment addressing the root of the problem?  He asks a great question and he also answers it: “a chronic, relapsing seronegative disease does not fit the vaccine model.”
Our government needs to cease and desist from being aligned with Big Pharma by owning patents on vaccines, owning patents on tests, as well as the organisms, and treatments.  Until they are prohibited from being allowed to have these conflicts, transparency is a pipe-dream, and patients will never be truly helped.  It’s very simple.  Further, there needs to also be a separation between industry, research institutions, monitoring boards, the media, medicine, and the government.  There needs to be serious accountability in science.  For science to prosper, there needs to be healthy debate, free speech, and honesty in research.  This has been lost – perhaps forever.
We too benefited from long-term treatment addressing all the coinfections, the pleomorphism of borrelia (Lyme), as well as periodic short stints of treatment when we relapse.  Many who are able to find this integrated, holistic treatment do as well, unfortunately, due to the way public health ‘authorities’ are labeling and defining this, mainstream medicine remains hopelessly in the Dark Ages, with doctors too afraid to treat, and many patients suffering needlessly due to misdiagnosis, denial, and/or lack of appropriate treatment.

When Parents are Unjustly Accused of Harming Their Sick Child

https://www.lymedisease.org/parents-unjustly-accused/

TOUCHED BY LYME: When parents are unjustly accused of harming their sick child

If your child has chronic Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, mast cell activation syndrome, POTS, or any number of other “medically complex conditions” – you have probably experienced being disbelieved by many people.

You may be a decent, well-intentioned parent doing everything you can to figure out your child’s puzzling medical problems.

You may scour the internet to learn more about the child’s condition, track the ups and downs of his or her symptoms, and carry binders full of medical records to appointments with various specialists—many of them far from your home.

But, in a cruelly ironic twist, those very activities can get you in trouble.

Physicians who have little experience with your child’s medically complex condition may feel you are “overmedicalizing” your child.

School officials may think you’re intentionally keeping your child out of class for reasons they consider invalid.

Neighbors and even family members may believe you’re exaggerating your child’s health problems—and, in their opinion, going about things the wrong way.

And, unfortunately, any one of these people might report you to Child Protection Services. And then your problems will escalate dramatically.

Now, it goes without saying that sometimes children ARE abused by parents, and there is, of course, a legitimate role for CPS investigations.

But medically complex conditions are fraught with issues that can unfairly entangle parents—and the more they fight to free themselves, the more tied up in legal knots they may become.

For an idea of how bad things can get, consider what happened to then-teenager Justina Pelletier and her family. In 2013, her parents lost custody of their daughter after Boston Children’s Hospital disagreed with how she was being treated at a different medical center. (Read more about Justina’s situation here.)

What to do?

Beth Alison Maloney, Attorney/Author

According to Beth Alison Maloney, there are things you can do now to minimize the possibility of running afoul of CPS in the future. And, if you’re already caught up in the system, there are things you can do to get out of it.

Her thorough and well-researched advice on this subject is laid out in a new book called Protecting Your Child from the Child Protection System.

Maloney is an attorney and the mother of a child who suffered from the strep-caused autoimmune condition known as PANDAS—back before practically anybody even knew what that was.

Theirs was a complicated journey. But her son finally got better and now is a well-functioning adult. She wrote their family’s story in her 2009 book, Saving Sammy: Curing the Boy Who Caught OCD.

In 2013, she wrote another instructive book, called Childhood Interrupted: The Complete Guide to PANDAS and PANS. It primarily focuses on the medical information you need to help your child recover from these conditions.

Over the past two decades, Maloney has worked as a lawyer, guardian ad litem, and nationwide consultant in the field of child protection laws. She has seen firsthand how innocent families are sometimes presumed guilty of all manner of abuse. She has seen the rise of “child abuse pediatricians”–specialists that she believes sometimes jump to unwarranted conclusions, to the detriment of the families involved.

She wrote this book so parents of sick children can understand what they are potentially up against and how they can help themselves. As she states in the introduction, “Too much is at stake for you to plunge in without being informed.”

(Please go to top link for an excerpt from the book)

Maloney’s book is divided into six parts:

  1. An overview of the Child Protection System and how it functions.
  2. How to navigate the maze and what to do if you find yourself accused
  3. The special challenges facing parents of medically complex children
  4. Building a team—lawyer, family, friends
  5. A deeper dive into the court system
  6. Rebuilding your lives after being falsely accused of abusing your child.

No parent wants to think about the possibility of losing custody of their child–especially when that child is seriously ill. But parents of medically complex children should familiarize themselves with the issues involved and take steps to head off trouble.

Knowledge is power. And if you’re falsely accused of abusing your child, you need all the power you can get.

For more information, see Beth Alison Maloney’s website.

CDC Data: COVID Mass Vaccination Has Had No Measurable Impact on COVID Mortality in U.S.

https://physiciansforinformedconsent.org/covid-19-vaccines/
PRESS RELEASE

Physicians for Informed Consent: CDC Data Show COVID-19 Mass Vaccination Has Had No Measurable Impact on COVID-19 Mortality in the U.S.

Newly released document highlights 20 scientific facts that challenge the assumptions underlying COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. (PRWeb) – February 22, 2022

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has released a new educational document entitled, “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 20 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions.” The document helps readers become more familiarized with the scientific facts regarding COVID-19, its treatment options, and the COVID-19 vaccines.

Developed in a reader-friendly format, the document highlights available scientific data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials, and it addresses the assumptions underlying COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Twenty scientific facts are provided on key public health topics, including:

  • The lack of a long-term benefit of the COVID-19 vaccines on the spread of COVID-19
  • The lack of a proven benefit of the COVID-19 vaccines on COVID-19 deaths
  • The risks of COVID-19 vaccine injections versus the safety of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children
  • Waning vaccine immunity and booster shot efficacy
  • COVID-19 early-treatment and prevention options

“Vaccine mandates are unethical because they attempt to coerce people to act against their own judgment, and because they are unscientific,” said Dr. Shira Miller, founder and president of PIC. “Our focus is on delivering scientific data about infectious diseases and vaccines which are often overlooked in the mainstream. We developed this new document to help physicians, policymakers and the public better understand and communicate about the scientific facts that challenge the assumptions underlying COVID-19 vaccine mandates.”

The document reveals CDC data — from April 2020 through January 2022 — which show that mass vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine has had no measurable impact on COVID-19 mortality in the U.S. In addition, short-term clinical trial data indicate that 1 in 6 to 1 in 9 people 12–55 years of age who receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccines suffer severe (grade 3) systemic reactions, and long-term safety studies have not been conducted. And finally, more than 53% of Americans have already had COVID-19 and may have greater protection against reinfection than vaccinated people.

To download your copy of “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 20 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions,” visit physiciansforinformedconsent.org/covid-19-vaccines. Readers are encouraged to share the document with their physicians, family and community.

COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates: 20 Scientific Facts That Challenge the Assumptions

Fact 1: “all transmissions between patients and staff occurred between masked and vaccinated individuals, as experienced in an outbreak from Finland.” The authors state that the study “challenges the assumption that high universal vaccination rates will lead to herd immunity and prevent COVID-19 outbreaks.”1

Fact 2: CDC study found that 74% of cases were fully vaccinated.2

Fact 3: Harvard study found “no significant signaling of COVID-19 cases decreasing with higher percentages of population fully vaccinated.”3

Fact 4:  There is no evidence from clinical trials that any of the vaccines prevent death because they did not have enough statistical power to measure the vaccine’s ability to prevent deaths.4-6 The FDA states, “A larger number of individuals at high risk of COVID-19 and higher attack rates would be needed to confirm efficacy of the vaccine against mortality.”4-6

Fact 5: CDC study observed that 100% of severe, critical, and fatal cases of COVID-19 occurred in vaccinated individuals.1

Fact 6:  CDC data show mass vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine has had no measurable impact on COVID-19 mortality in the U.S.7

Fact 7:  In the Pfizer clinical trial, there were zero cases of severe COVID-19 in children who did notreceive the vaccine. 8,9  In contrast, for children 5 years or older, the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial found that the vaccine causes severe (grade 3) systemic reactions that include fever greater than 102.1° F; vomiting that requires IV hydration; diarrhea of six or more loose stools in 24 hours; and severe fatigue, severe headache, severe muscle pain, or severe joint pain that prevents daily activity.9-12

Fact 8:  In the clinical trial, a range of 1 in 59 to 1 in 143 vaccinated children 5 to 11 years of age suffered severe systemic reactions within seven days of the second dose. There were 3 to 8 cases of severe systemic reactions observed in the vaccinated group for every 10 cases of non-severe COVID-19 in the unvaccinated group.9

Fact 9:  In the clinical trial, 1 in 9 vaccinated adolescents 12 to 15 years of age suffered severe systemic reactions within seven days of receiving the second dose. There were 7 times more severe systemic reactions observed in the vaccinated group than non-severe COVID-19 cases in the unvaccinated group.10-12

Fact 10:  The clinical trial also found that 1 in about 1,100 vaccinated children 12 to 15 years of age had a grade 4 systemic reaction (fever greater than 104° F) after the first dose that required an ER visit and withdrawal from the study.10,13

Fact 11: The Pfizer clinical trial did not have enough statistical power to show the vaccine is safe in children under 18 years of age, as the study did not include enough subjects to establish safety (i.e., the clinical trial only included about 2,600 vaccinated children aged 5 to 15).9,14 In comparison, it is known that COVID-19 fatalities are rare in children. As of Nov. 3, 2021, the chance of a child 17 years or younger contracting SARS-CoV-2 and dying from COVID-19 was 1 in 126,000 or 0.0008%.15

Fact 12: Because all subjects in clinical trials were observed for only two to six months, the long- term safety of COVID-19 vaccines for any age group is not known. Per the FDA, there are currently insufficient data to make conclusions about the safety of Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines in subpopulations such as pregnant and lactating individuals, and immunocompromised individuals.4,8,16 Per Pfizer, the vaccine “has not been evaluated for the potential to cause carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, or impairment of male fertility.”17

Fact 13: Safety surveillance reports have identified serious risks of myocarditis and pericarditis in subjects under age 40, within seven days of vaccination. In boys aged 16 or 17, the FDA has reported an excess risk of myocarditis or pericarditis of 1 in 5,000 after the second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.18 And in boys aged 12 to 17, also after a second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, a Hong Kong study found an excess risk of myocarditis or pericarditis of 1 in 2,700.19

Fact 14:  The clinical trials detected that vaccine immunity wanes significantly over a short period of time. For example, the Pfizer vaccine efficacy decreased by 8% to 18% within only six months, and the J&J vaccine efficacy decreased by 25% to 29% within only six months.20,21 Additionally, the efficacy measured in the clinical trials was against the original Wuhan strain, not the new variants.

Fact 15:  In clinical trials, a third dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or a second dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine has not been evaluated for efficacy against disease, but rather antibody counts were observed in a small number of vaccinated subjects for only one month.18,21,22

Fact 16:  Treatments for COVID-19 have improved significantly since the pandemic began in early 2020, resulting in improved survival rates in hospitalized cases.23,24 Indeed, for people not living in a nursing home, the overall survival rate of COVID-19 is 99.8% in the U.S., and 99.999% for children specifically.25,26

Fact 17:  Hundreds of studies have observed the effectiveness of various treatments, the most studied being ivermectin, vitamin D, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and monoclonal antibodies.27-30 These treatments may also be beneficial for prophylaxis (i.e., pre-exposure or post-exposure prevention of symptomatic COVID-19 infections).31-35

Fact 18:  There is evidence that previous SARS-CoV-2 infection is more effective at preventing SARS- CoV-2 infection than COVID-19 vaccines. The J& Jvaccine clinical trial included over 2,000 subjects who had contracted SARS-CoV-2 before the study. The trial, which tested unvaccinated and vaccinated people uniformly, recorded the incidence of COVID-19 in that unvaccinated group at least 28 days after the vaccination of the other subjects in the study. The COVID-19 incidence of the unvaccinated group with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection was 0.1% (2/2,021), whereas the COVID-19 incidence of vaccinated subjects was 0.59% (113/19,306). These data suggest that there are 6 times more cases of COVID-19 in vaccinated subjects than in unvaccinated subjects previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.36

Fact 19: Data from the Johnson & Johnson clinical trial also indicate that an unvaccinated person previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 has a 99.9% chance of being protected from a repeat infection. Of note, as of July 1, 2021, there have been 177.4 million SARS-CoV-2 infections in the U.S., which is 53.8% of the U.S. population.26,36

Fact 20:  Infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 occur at high rates in fully vaccinated populations, and a significant proportion of severe, critical and fatal COVID-19 cases occur in fully vaccinated individuals. CDC data show mass vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccine has had no measurable impact on COVID-19 mortality in the U.S. In addition, short-term clinical trial data indicate that 1 in 6 to 1 in 9 people 12–55 years of age who receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccines suffer severe (grade 3) systemic reactions, and long-term safety studies have not been conducted.13,37 Thus, the scientific data demonstrate that vaccine mandates have not been proven to create a safer environment.
