New Brunswick Pharmacists Can Now Access Funds to Treat “High-Risk” Tick Bites

https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/news/news_release.2023.10.0498.html

Pharmacists now able to treat another common ailment

03 October 2023

FREDERICTON (GNB) – The provincial government is adding to the list of common ailments that pharmacists are publicly funded to treat, as part of an effort to give New Brunswickers better access to care. Starting today, pharmacists are funded to treat conjunctivitis, sometimes referred to as “pink eye.” This follows an announcement in May that residents could access publicly funded care from participating pharmacies for the following conditions: contact allergic dermatitis; cold sores; mild to moderate eczema; gastroesophageal reflux disease; impetigo; Lyme disease prevention after a high-risk tick bite; and mild acne. The Department of Health estimates 1,100 patients visited a walk-in clinic for conjunctivitis in the past year. “We know that many families are affected by conjunctivitis, and they need to see someone for relief,” said Health Minister Bruce Fitch. “To ensure that New Brunswickers can see the right care provider for the right service at the right time, we are working with our highly skilled pharmacists, who care for people in their communities, to make it easier to access these needed services.” Pharmacists in Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan are already able to treat conjunctivitis. New Brunswick pharmacists are now able to assess and prescribe for 12 common ailments and services to divert patient traffic from emergency rooms, walk-in clinics or other primary care providers. More information about publicly funded services that pharmacists can offer is available online. People are advised to ask their local pharmacist which services are available, as it is not mandatory for every pharmacist to treat all minor ailments. While the cost of the consultation for certain ailments is covered, patients are still responsible for the cost of prescribed medications, as well as any fees for injections provided by pharmacy professionals.

**Comment**

IMO this press release opens a big can of worms.

What is a high-risk tick bite?

Similarly to the mythology that there is some sort of “grace period” for tick bites, every tick bite I’m aware of has the potential to be highly risky in that you could become infected with one or more pathogens that could drop you to your knees in agony and deplete you of all your money and joy.  

The fact they are listing Lyme disease, pink eye, eczema, impetigo and gastric reflux in the same sentence shows this is still not being taken seriously.  

The article admits that Lyme disease is a “common” ailment, but gives far more weight to pink eye!

These pharmacists are not receiving any education, just money – which means they will not be informed about what they are doing.  While the press release doesn’t state what this “treatment” looks like, I’m going to venture a guess that they will prescribe one or two pills of doxycycline, which research has shown to be ineffective in preventing Lyme disease. 

In short: more garbage in, more garbage out.

COVID has given pharmacists more power in that they are now allowed to give “vaccines.”  Pharmacists are not doctors and do not have a patient’s medical history in front of them.  Nothing replaces one on one interaction between a patient and a doctor where a doctor is privy to a patient’s history.

This “Lyme treatment” bandaid will do little to relieve patient suffering.

The Genetic Conspiracy: DNA Tests Are Sold to Highest Bidder

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Nov. 7, 2023

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) will pay 23andMe $20 million to extend its five-year contract to mine the company’s consumer DNA data for another year
  • The drugmaker is searching for hints about genes that might be at the root of disease. 23andMe will get royalties on any drugs developed
  • 23andMe also recently launched a new DNA-sequencing service called Total Health, which sequences your entire exome, the protein-coding part of your genome, which is thought to be responsible for most disease-causing genes. The move is another step in 23andMe’s plan to transform itself into a full-fledged health care company that also treats patients
  • 23andMe acquired a telehealth and drug-delivery startup called Lemonaid Health in 2021. Lemonaid doctors are being trained by 23andMe on how to interpret DNA results and provide tailored health advice
  • 23andMe’s concept of “health care” is all about expanding the use of drugs by getting people on them earlier, before they even have symptoms, based solely on genetic risk factors

Do you know who has access to your genetic data? If you’ve used a DNA testing company like 23andMe, chances are your genetic data is in the hands of insurance companies and drug companies. It may also be in the hands of hackers. Either way, your DNA could be used against you.

GlaxoSmithKline Extends Data Mining Contract With 23andMe

As reported by Bloomberg,1 GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) will pay 23andMe $20 million to extend its five-year contract to mine the company’s consumer DNA data for another year:

“The idea for drugmakers is to comb the data for hints about genetic pathways that might be at the root of disease, which could significantly speed up the long, slow process of drug development.

GSK and 23andMe have already taken one potential medication to clinical trials: a cancer drug that works to block CD96, a protein that helps modulate the body’s immune responses.

It entered that testing phase in four years, compared to an industry average of about seven years. Overall, the partnership between GSK and 23andMe has produced more than 50 new drug targets …

The new agreement changes some components of the collaboration. Any discoveries GSK makes with the 23andMe data will now be solely owned by the British pharmaceutical giant, while the genetic-testing company will be eligible for royalties on some projects. In the past, the two companies pursued new drug targets jointly.”

In case this wasn’t obvious, YOU pay to have your DNA tested, and then 23andMe sells the mining rights of those data, and makes royalties on new drugs. Quite the profit model, having customers pay for their own exploitation. And GSK isn’t the only drug company mining your data. The deal is nonexclusive, so any number of other companies may be mining your genetic data as well.

23andMe Seeks to Transform Into a Health Care Company

23andMe also recently launched a new DNA-sequencing service called Total Health, which sequences your entire exome, the protein-coding part of your genome, which is thought to be responsible for most disease-causing genes. While their basic DNA test for health and ancestry has a price tag of $229,2 this expanded test will set you back $1,188 — per year.3

The move is another step in 23andMe’s plan to transform itself into a full-fledged health care company that also treats patients. With this goal in mind, 23andMe acquired a telehealth and drug-delivery startup called Lemonaid Health in 2021.4 Lemonaid doctors are reportedly being trained by 23andMe on how to interpret DNA results and provide tailored health advice. According to Bloomberg:5

“Total Health is designed to pinpoint genes 23andMe views as ‘actionable’ — those that some combination of lifestyle changes and medication can affect.

The list includes the more than 80 genes the American College of Medical Genetics consider actionable, including those for cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease and neurological disorders …

Someone who finds out they’re at risk for early heart disease would want to closely monitor their cholesterol levels and consider going on cholesterol-lowering drugs as soon as those levels become unsafe, said [vice president for genomic health at 23andMe, Noura] Abul-Husn, giving an example of how the information can be used …

The Total Health package’s biannual blood tests give customers a look at more than 50 biomarkers, helping them track progress in managing risks identified by sequencing. Clinicians will provide patients with personalized risk assessments and preventive health plans, along with an annual virtual visit and ongoing messaging …”

Genetic Predisposition — A Tactic to Increase Drug Sales

This is an excellent example of why Americans are so mired in chronic illness, and why genetic testing, as it currently stands, will do nothing to ameliorate the situation.

If you have genetic risk factors for early heart disease, the last thing you want to do is go on cholesterol-lowering drugs as they destroy heart tissue and act as mitochondrial toxins,6,7 Statins also raise your risk of diabetes and dementia.

Unfortunately, if you do an online search for “statins damage heart” or something similar, the first page or two of results will be articles “debunking” claims that they can harm your heart. This is Big Tech censorship at work, and it’s only going to get worse from here. You have to dig deeper into the search results to actually find what you’re looking for. Eventually, you may not find it at all.

The point here is that cholesterol has little to do with the development of heart disease, so the entire premise of this kind of “prevention” is flawed from the get-go. Basically, 23andMe’s concept of “health care” is all about expanding the use of drugs by getting people on them earlier, before they even have symptoms, based solely on genetic risk factors.

Your Genetic Data Can Be Used Against You in Many Ways

Adding insult to injury, your genetic data may be sold to insurance companies that may then charge you extra for a “preexisting condition” you don’t actually have but might potentially develop in the future. Life insurance companies may also charge you more, or decline coverage altogether. As reported in a September 7, 2023, article in The Conversation:8

“In Australia, life insurance companies can legally use the results of genetic tests to discriminate. They can decline to provide life insurance coverage, increase the cost of premiums, or place exclusions on an individual’s cover …

This week, a number of federal parliamentarians argued for a ban on genetic discrimination by life insurance companies … The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 prohibits discrimination on a number of different bases, including genetic risk factors.

However, there is a specific carve-out in the Act that allows life insurers to discriminate in ways other entities are prohibited from doing. This means companies providing insurance for death, income protection, and disability can discriminate on the basis of genetic risk of disease.

Other companies that provide risk-rated insurance (where insurers assess an individual’s risk factors and change coverage or premiums based on this risk) can also use genetic test results to discriminate. This includes travel insurance.”

23andMe, the Google of Gene-Based Medicine

As noted in a November 2013 article by Scientific American,9 23andMe poses a unique threat to the public that few ever discuss. While sold as a medical device, its true function is that of a massive information-gathering operation, just like Google turned out to be.

While it took a while, it’s now become crystal clear that Google is using all that personal data gathered from users to control and suppress information that doesn’t benefit its advertisers. Will 23andMe end up being a repeat of Google’s bait and switch? As reported by Scientific American:10

“Although 23andMe admits that it will share aggregate information about users genomes to third parties, it adamantly insists that it will not sell your personal genetic information without your explicit consent. We’ve heard that one before …

Even though 23andMe currently asks permission to use your genetic information for scientific research, the company has explicitly stated that its database-sifting scientific work ‘does not constitute research on human subjects,’ meaning that it is not subject to the rules and regulations that are supposed to protect experimental subjects’ privacy and welfare.

Those of us who have not volunteered to be a part of the grand experiment have even less protection. Even if 23andMe keeps your genome confidential against hackers, corporate takeovers, and the temptations of filthy lucre forever and ever, there is plenty of evidence that there is no such thing as an ‘anonymous’ genome anymore.

It is possible to use the internet to identify the owner of a snippet of genetic information and it is getting easier day by day. While the FDA concentrates on the question of whether 23andMe’s kit is a safe and effective medical device, it is failing to address the real issue: what 23andMe should be allowed to do with the data it collects.

For 23andMe’s Personal Genome Service is much more than a medical device; it is a one-way portal into a world where corporations have access to the innermost contents of your cells and where insurers and pharmaceutical firms and marketers might know more about your body than you know yourself.

And as 23andMe warns on its website, ‘Genetic Information that you share with others could be used against your interests. You should be careful about sharing your Genetic Information with others.’ Present company excepted, of course.”

For the record, that warning no longer exists on 23andMe’s website. In the end, we may well see DNA testing companies like 23andMe share everyone’s genetic data with insurance companies, which in turn may force you into pharmaceutical solutions for problems you don’t yet have.

The CIA Connection

Interestingly, the connection between Google and 23andMe is closer than you might think. 23andMe cofounder Anne Wojcicki was married to Google founder Sergey Brin for eight years and the couple have two children together. They divorced in 2015.

Wojcicki’s sister, Susan Wojcicki, was one of Google’s first employees. In 2006, she convinced Google to acquire YouTube and served as YouTube’s CEO from 2014 until 2023. She’s now an adviser to Google and its parent company Alphabet.11,12

As reported by Quartz magazine, Google came about largely thanks to research grants for mass surveillance technologies from the CIA and NSA.13

Similarly, Wojcicki was finally able to take 23andMe public after raising more than $1 billion in funding from, among others, Google, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson and Sequoia Capital,14,15 the latter of which is also heavily invested in artificial intelligence and has drawn scrutiny from Washington for having “significant operations” in China that might benefit the Chinese military.16

Google — probably the biggest spy machine ever built — the CIA, NSA, Big Pharma and a Chinese-linked AI investment firm. These are all either directly invested in, or linked to through investments, a company (23andMe) that is harvesting the genetic code from millions of Americans. Does that really sound like a good idea?

You don’t need predictive AI to figure out that the beneficiaries of 23andMe’s data will be the drug industry and the intelligence agencies that are working to further the transhumanist and technocratic goals and ambitions of the globalist deep state.

Data Breaches Are Inevitable, and Have Already Occurred

Data breaches and hacks are becoming ever more prevalent, and 23andMe is not immune to that threat. In fact, in late October 2023, the company notified customers that a breach into its “DNA relatives” databank had occurred. As reported by Reuters:17

“Genetics testing company 23andMe … sent emails to several customers to inform them of a breach into the ‘DNA Relatives’ feature that allowed them to compare ancestry information with users worldwide …

Since news of the hack, many customers have expressed worries their ethnicity and other sensitive information could be used against them if leaked.”

While that might sound paranoid, Thor Benson, in a June 2020 IEEE Spectrum article18 argued that “DNA databases in the U.S. and China are tools of racial oppression,” and that “What is initially presented as a public good can easily be used for evil ends.”

Your DNA Could Be Used to Pin a Crime on You

Benson’s article focuses not on the use of DNA in medicine but rather its use in law enforcement. DNA samples are routinely collected when you’re arrested, and that DNA database is then used during other crime investigations.

But DNA samples are also collected from victims of crime, and in late 2021, a California rape victim was charged with an unrelated crime based solely on the DNA from her rape kit sample, taken five years earlier. Public outcry ensued, and once the district attorney learned of the source of the DNA, the charges against her were dropped. As reported by Mission Local:19

“Under the Fourth Amendment, law enforcement must obtain a warrant or written permission from a court to lawfully seize evidence. And, in this case, ‘It’s very clear that they’re not consenting to their DNA being collected to use five, 10, 15 years later on in a law enforcement investigation,’ [district attorney Chesa] Boudin said.”

California lawmakers have also approved a bill to prohibit the use of DNA collected from victims for any other purpose than to identify the perpetrator of the crime against them.20

Now, if DNA samples from victims can later be used to tie them to another crime, how do you think DNA samples voluntarily handed over to a DNA testing company may be used? Anyone can essentially be framed for any crime.

DNA Can Be Used Against Dissidents of All Stripes

Going back to Benson’s article:21

“A report that was published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in mid-June claims that China is operating the ‘world’s largest police-run DNA database’ as part of its powerful surveillance state.

Chinese authorities have collected DNA samples from possibly as many as 70 million men since 2017, and the total database is believed to contain as many as 140 million profiles. The country hopes to collect DNA from all of its male citizens, as it argues men are most likely to commit crimes.

DNA is reportedly often collected during what are represented as free physicals, and it’s also being collected from children at schools. There are reports of Chinese citizens being threatened with punishment by government officials if they refuse to give a DNA sample.

Much of the DNA that’s been collected has been from Uighur Muslims that have been oppressed by the Chinese government and infamously forced into concentration camps in the Xinjiang province …

James Leibold, a nonresident senior fellow at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and one of the authors of the report on China’s DNA database, tells Spectrum that he is worried that China building up and utilizing this database could normalize this type of behavior.

‘Global norms around genomic data are currently in a state of flux. China is the only country in the world conducting mass harvesting of DNA data outside a major criminal investigation,’ Leibold says. ‘It’s the only forensic DNA database in the world to contain troves of samples from innocent civilians.’

Leibold says ethnic minorities like the Uighurs aren’t the only ones threatened by this mass DNA collection. He says the database could be used against dissidents and any other people who the government sees as a threat …

‘We know the Chinese police have planted evidence in the past, and now it is conceivable that they could use planted DNA to convict ‘enemies of the state.'”

In this post-COVID era, you can replace “China” with most Western countries, and “Uighur Muslims” with “anti-vaxxers,” whom intelligence agencies have declared “a national security threat.”

The Truth About COVID Hospital Protocols: Stella Paul

Oct. 17, 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, “patients lost all rights when they went in the hospital,” says Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in the documentary “Making a Killing.” “They became prisoners.”
In this episode, we sit down with Stella Paul, a medical writer who has been investigating what she describes as “deadly” hospital protocols during the pandemic—and the financial incentives behind them.
“There were huge bonuses on what they were paid by the government if they used Remdesivir and if they ventilated—and both of those treatments are extremely dangerous,” Ms. Paul says.
In this episode, she breaks down what she and others have uncovered.

#PlasmidGate RNA “Vaccine” Horror Story: Professor Bhakdi

https://worldcouncilforhealth.substack.com/p/bhakdi-plasmidgate?r=smi4r#play  Video Here (Approx. 13 Min)

Prof Sucharit Bhakdi: The Eternal Dangers of RNA Vaccines — A Horror Story

In this video introduction to #PlasmidGate, Bhakdi explains essential but complex scientific information relating to DNA contamination of the Covid-19 injections using everyday language and metaphor.

The Eternal Dangers of RNA Vaccines

Protected within the cell nucleus are chromosomes (the recipe books of life). The genome is the full set of DNA instructions (recipes) needed for life. When the cell needs to make a particular product (a cake), the relevant recipe book is opened at the right page and a copy of the recipe (mRNA) is made and sent out of the nucleus to manufacturing sites in the cell (the kitchen). Once its purpose is fulfilled, the mRNA is disposed of. The product is displayed where it can be inspected.

The Covid injections were designed to contain short-lived mRNA copies of DNA recipes that will direct production of the spike protein (the antigen). More than a billion copies of this message are administered with each injection into the human body!

To mass-produce mRNA, you need massive numbers of DNA templates. These billions and trillions of copies of the DNA recipe are derived from bacteria. They are contained in minute circular bacterial chromosomes called plasmids. Plasmids are used to manufacture mRNA because foreign DNA recipes (genes for desired proteins) can easily be inserted into them.

Once the foreign DNA recipe has been inserted into a plasmid, this is introduced into bacteria, which multiply, producing many, many copies of themselves. The DNA plasmids are then harvested and used as templates to produce copies of mRNA. The mRNA molecules are then packaged into tiny fatty globules called lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), which protect them from being destroyed as they travel in the bloodstream to all organs of the body. The LNPs act as Trojan horses, being taken up by the cells and releasing their cargo of mRNA inside, where the recipe is used to produce the gene product (spike protein), which is then inserted into the cell membrane, where it is displayed.

Outside the cell, security guards (our immune system) are on patrol. If the ‘cake’ is produced according to a recipe that originates from one’s own book of life (genome), all is well. But if the recipe originates from an alien recipe book, the security guards will leap into action and attack that cell. The capacity of the immune system to recognise and eliminate cells that manufacture ‘non-self’ is given at birth and ends at death. Rejection of ‘non-self’ is often seen in organ transplants: you get my kidney – you reject my kidney. If after the first failure, a repeat attempt is made to donate my second kidney, a rapid, explosive rejection results.

The same principle underlies the ever-increasing intensity of adverse events following in the wake of booster mRNA injections.

Gigantic numbers of copies of packaged mRNA are administered with each injection. Myriad immune attack events will erupt throughout the body and only end when production of the alien protein stops. How long will this take? Just a few days, as the vaccine manufacturers, the vaccine perpetrators, and recently the Nobel Prize committee assert? It does not appear so.

An alarming finding surfaced over the past year that refutes this assertion. Spike protein and multi-organ inflammation were detected in vaccinees weeks and even months after injection, and this was associated with severe and often fatal illness. What earthly reason could there be for such disastrous, long-lasting production of an RNA-encoded protein?

The discovery by Kevin McKernan and colleagues of plasmid DNA contaminating the vaccines immediately provides one terrifying explanation. In the vaccine production process, the plasmid DNA templates must be removed from the generated mRNA before the latter is packaged into LNPs. Otherwise, plasmids will also end up in the packages. But Kevin discovered that this crucial step of removing plasmid DNA had not been assiduously undertaken.

Huge amounts of plasmid DNA were found in packaged form that guaranteed their successful delivery to cells. His work has now been replicated in other laboratories.

The uptake by cells of whole or fragmented plasmids alters the entire set of DNA instructions, in other words. By definition, this equates to alteration of the genome. During cell division, the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing foreign DNA to become encased with the chromosomes in the newly-formed nuclei of daughter cells.

If whole foreign recipes (genes) are inserted, this will cause production of whole products (proteins). Continued production of any non-self protein will provoke long-term inflammation and organ damage throughout the body. Vessel walls will be damaged, with bleeding and blood clot formation being inevitable consequences. Tissues will then die due to lack of oxygen.

The heart is one organ that cannot replace dead cellsWho has not heard of the mysterious sudden cardiac deaths occurring around the world? They are only the tip of an iceberg. Vaccine-induced heart disease now threatens both young and old. Another organ that cannot replace dead tissue is the brain. Depending on where vaccine damage occurs, any number of neurological and psychiatric afflictions may follow.

Autoimmune diseases can develop simultaneously in different organs. This multifaceted feature of vaccination-induced injury is unique and was tragically illustrated in the unprecedented case of a 14-year-old child who died of multi-organ inflammation.

There is enormous potential for mRNA ‘vaccines’ to impair fertility and reproduction if they accumulate in the reproductive organs. Uptake of circulating RNA and DNA by cells of the placenta could result in stillbirths, and placental damage may also enable LNP-packaged genes to enter the foetal circulation. Indeed, it is known that stem cells in umbilical cord blood are reduced and impaired following the injection. It is feared that the baby may be reached in the mother’s womb.

The fat globules with their cargo are also known to find their way into breastmilk. Gut permeability is high during the first weeks after birth. There is a real possibility that breastfeeding will result in direct passage of vaccines into the baby’s blood where suicide mechanisms may be triggered. Remember that the immune system is able to recognise and destroy cells that produce alien proteins from birth.

The incredible horror story does not end here. Packaged DNA fragments have been found en masse as vaccine contaminants. Once they reach the nucleus, short DNA sequences have an increased propensity to insert into chromosomal DNA. The possible consequences are unending. Disruption of the exquisitely tuned network that controls cell division and differentiation can lead to cancer and to developmental defects. Mutations in sperm and fertilised egg cells could render altered traits inheritable.

Cost-effective procedures to reliably separate mass-produced RNA from plasmids do not exist. We can therefore expect that contamination of mRNA ‘vaccines’ with plasmid DNA will be the rule and not the exception.

Fellow citizens and physicians of the world, turn away from the perpetrators of this monstrous crime against humanity. Whoever promotes mRNA vaccines as being ‘safe and effective’, and whoever claims that nothing can happen to your genome is either incredibly ignorant or endlessly evil. That person is turning his back on the horror scenario that is unfolding before our very eyes.

Sucharit Bhakdi, Emeritus Professor of the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, a specialist in microbiology and infectious disease epidemiology, and the founder and chairman of a society of physicians and scientists for health, freedom and democracy, was introduced by Christof Plothe, DO, who described him as one of his “personal heroes” and “a shining light in this time of darkness.”

Prof Bhakdi’s contribution to the WCH Urgent Expert Panel on DNA contamination of the mRNA ‘vaccines’ reflects his deep commitment to empowering citizens to understand the very serious implications of the mass-rollout of the experimental Covid mRNA injections. He explains essential but complex scientific information relating to DNA contamination of the Covid mRNA injections using everyday language and metaphor. Here we provide an edited version of the full transcript of his valuable presentation.

The Dark History of SSRIs

**UPDATE**

Please see this 17 minute video by The Highwire on new science showing long term issues even after discontinuing SSRIs including sexual dysfunction and ‘brain zaps.’ Despite this, ‘the powers that be’ want to make these dangerous drugs over-the-counter.  

https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/there-is-decades-of-evidence-that?

The Decades of Evidence That SSRI Antidepressants Cause Mass Shootings

How Dangerous Must a Drug Be Before it is Pulled from the Market?

Most holistic doctors consider Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) anti-depressants to be one of most harmful mass-prescribed drugs on the market (it typically makes their top 5). However unlike the other drugs, which are just unsafe and ineffective, SSRIs also have a fairly unique problem—they can kill people who are not even taking the drugs.

Note: other common contenders for that list are StatinsNSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen), and acid reflux medications (proton pump inhibitors like prilosec). The harms and irrationality of those drugs are discussed herehere and here.

What follows is a revised and updated article summarizing the extreme dangers of those drugs I was requested by a few readers to write in light of recent tragic events.  (See link for article)

______________

**Comment**

This is one of the most important articles I’ve read for a long time.  The reason?  The topic of harm caused by anti-depressants is completely denied and ignored by Big Pharma, Big Media, and Big Medicine. I highly recommend you read this in full and share widely because it affects so many people, particularly Lyme/MSIDS patients who often struggle with psychiatric symptoms including depression.  Educating yourself on this is imperative if not for you than for someone you know.

Executive Summary:

  • While a minority of patients, particularly those with deficient methylation, who take SSRIs greatly benefit from them, much evidence has accumulated that they cause psychotic violence.
  • The author states that out of all of the controversial medical issues, the topic of SSRIs being linked to mass shootings has caused the most vitriol.
  • Unfortunately, like COVID and “vaccines” SSRIs have been highly politicalized, often among party lines.
  • Each time a mass shooting occurs the same script is repeated (ban all guns and have more mental health care [i.e. psych meds] for everyone).
  • Similarly to the “vaccine” topic, the oft repeated argument to dismiss the link between SSRIs and psychotic violence is that “correlation is not causation,” however:
    • clinical trial data hidden from the public gives this evidence
    • a black-box warning states SSRIs increase the risk of suicide
    • the psychotic events are completely out of character and the offenders report a very similar narrative of what they experienced prior to and during the shooting
  • SSRIs which entered the market in 1988 have a similar primary mechanism of action as cocaine
  • The SSRI Prozac received nearly 40,000 adverse events after 9 years which is far more than any other drug. These events include:
    • hundreds of suicides
    • atrocious violent crimes
    • hostility and aggression
    • psychosis, confusion
    • distorted thinking
    • convulsions
    • amnesia
    • brain-zaps
    • long-term or permanent sexual dysfunction
    • homicides: a website has compiled thousands of documented occurrences
  • A significant portion of the article came from the book Deadly Psychiatry and Organized Denial by Peter C. Gøtzsche (which builds upon the critical work Peter Breggin did to expose this issue)
  • For those taking SSRIs, do NOT suddenly stop taking them as you can have very strong withdrawal symptoms.  Please read the stories in the article to see how very serious this is.
  • Psychosis and Akathisia (extreme restlessness) are known side-effects of SSRIs that have led to strange impulses, or suicide, homicide, or both and are so disturbing they are often described as the individual being possessed, and patients have shared they felt as though a dark force was trying to take over their body
  • A clinical investigator wrote to Pfizer that during treatment with SSRIs, patients reported depersonalization and that their range of emotions were blunted as they were unable to feel or express themselves.  Pfizer responded with the admission that this happens with SSRIs and nobody knows why.
  • A common thread has occurred with these violent homicides:
    • the act of violence was immediately preceded by a significant change in the meds 
    • they occur in all ages who were completely normal before the act and no precipitating factors besides the psychiatric medication
    • there were clear symptoms of akathisia
    • the offenders returned to their normal personality when they came off the antidepressant
  • Similarly to the “vaccine” industry, the psychiatric industry aggressively gaslights victims rather than accept any responsibility
  • Individuals with a mutation in the gene that metabolizes psych drugs are much more vulnerable to developing excessive levels of these drugs triggering psychosis and akathisia but this is never considered when the meds are prescribed
  • Gøtzsche reviewed some key SSRI legal cases and in 2001 a jury found a pharmaceutical firm liable for deaths caused by an antidepressant. Central to a case were SmithKline Beecham internal documents showing the company was aware that a small number of people could become agitated or violent from Paxil, but they did not include a package warning about suicide, violence or aggression.  Two volunteers attempted suicide, but the company till denies that Paxil can cause homicides, suicides, and withdrawals.
  • Similarly to the false illusion that remdesivir helps COVID and that the COVID gene therapy injections are effective, Prozac was originally assessed to treat obesity, but was switched for depression which has a subjective metric which was easier to approve with doctored studies (after which they pivoted to using marketing off-label for obesity). “So, even though the evidence showing Prozac worked for depression was atrocious while abundant evidence existed for its harm, with a few well priced bribes and statistical creativity, Eli-Lilly was able to secure their approval.”  Sound familiar?
  • Government corruption has followed a playbook that existed long before the COVID debacle
  • While the COVID injections have complete legal immunity, SSRIs are toxic enough to have severely harmed large numbers of people motivated to fight the drug companies in court
  • The author states he was able to accurately predict and understand the COVID shot shenanigans due to being intimately familiar with the SSRI story.
