CDC Admits COVID-19 Shots Causing Heart Disease but Won’t Stop the Injections – Does Pfizer Now Control the CDC and FDA?

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

The United States CDC updated their “Adverse Events” page on COVID-19 shots today where they admit that there are now 1,908 reported cases of myocarditis and pericarditis following COVID-19 shots among young people below the age of 30.

This compares to, on the same page, 57 cases of “Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS)” and 278 cases of “Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)” for all age groups, not just those under the age of 30.

As we have reported in the past, the CDC typically uses “selective bias” when reporting these “adverse events” to make the numbers look much lower than they actually are.

But with the cases of heart disease now skyrocketing, even with their selective bias it can be clearly seen that we are dealing with a very high number of these injuries showing that their assertion that these side effects of heart disease are “rare” is completely absurd.

Watch this 8-minute video we created for the 1 year anniversary of the FDA being forced to approve the Pfizer COVID-19 shot:

Here is a recent sample of reports of people suffering heart disease following the COVID shots from just one Telegram channel that have been posted just within the past few days.  (See link for reports)Listen to this nurse who explains that when she went to the hospital and found out she had heart disease following the Pfizer shot, that she was the 7th person admitted that day with the same thing following the Pfizer shot.

In this video below, a woman explains how she discovered the hard way that COVID-19 vaccine injuries are not “conspiracy theories” as her husband now has myocarditis following the shot, and their doctor won’t write an exemption for the second shot because he fears losing his license.

This is on our Bitchute channel.

Criminal charges need to be filed against anyone who owns stock in Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson and Johnson for mass murder.

I’m guessing that you would find stockholders among both Republican and Democrat lawmakers, the head of the CDC, FDA, HHS, NIH, among others.

The CDC Caught in their Own Lies: The Unvaccinated in the U.S. for COVID-19 is “Millions” More than Originally Reported

 by Brian Shilhavy

Dec. 18, 2021

For almost a year now I have been stating that the CDC has been lying to the public about the COVID-19 shots, using their own data from VAERS to prove it.

Now the corporate media is reporting the same thing: the CDC’s statistics on COVID-19 “vaccines,” in this case the total amount of people in the U.S. who are “vaccinated” with a COVID-19 shot, have been overstated by “millions.”

Bloomberg broke the story today, but if you want to avoid their paywall you can also read about it on Yahoo News.

The U.S. government has overcounted the number of Americans who are at least partly vaccinated against the coronavirus, Bloomberg reports.

Why it matters: Millions more people than initially thought are unprotected as coronavirus infections, hospitalizations and deaths are rising across the country.

Three states — Illinois, Pennsylvania and West Virginia — found enough over-counting of first shots to indicate millions of unvaccinated people had mistakenly been counted as having received a dose.

What’s especially interesting is that the corporate news report quoted two state officials who admitted that the data from the CDC was worthless.

James Garrow, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, which has worked with the state to blend data sets for a more accurate view of vaccination trends, said “we don’t have any faith in the numbers on the CDC website, and we never refer to them.”

“The truth is, we have no idea,” said Clay Marsh, West Virginia’s Covid czar.

This news comes out the day following a report published by The Exposé that the UK Government was lying about the number of unvaccinated and that instead of 5 million unvaccinated in the UK, they now admit that it is 23.5 million who have refused the jab, over 40% of their population. See:  UK Government Caught Lying: 23.5 Million People in England Have NOT had a Single Dose of a Covid-19 Vaccine

And in what could be related news, NBA star Kyrie Irving, who refused to bow to pressure to say he took the COVID-19 shot, now all of a sudden is being welcomed back to his team, allegedly because so many of his “vaccinated” teammates have tested positive for COVID and they need his services again all of a sudden.  Hold The Line: Unvaccinated NBA Star Kyrie Irving To Rejoin Brooklyn Nets

This cannot all be a “coincidence,” so we need to ask the question: Why are they suddenly admitting this?

Undoubtedly it is because their war against humanity is entering a new phase, as I reported yesterday.  Operation Omicron: The Globalists are Preparing for Mass Murder in the Weeks Ahead

It would appear that they have mostly given up on convincing any more of the “unvaccinated” to have a change of heart at this point, so it is on to the next phase, which for some reason that we do not fully know yet, requires them to admit there are more “unvaccinated” than they originally thought.

They have already stated that the “unvaccinated” are the ones causing the surge in the new “Omicron” variant, so it is likely that this next phase of the “war on the virus” is going to start targeting the “vaccine hesitant” with a new strategy.

In a sign that “vaccine” mandates may start getting more widespread and stricter, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this week overruled a lower court’s nationwide injunction against the Biden administration’s mandate that required healthcare workers at federally funded facilities to receive Covid-19 vaccines.  Fifth Circuit overturns nationwide injunction on vaccine mandate for health care workers

And yesterday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Biden administration’s “vaccine” mandate for private employers of companies exceeding 100 people can take effect.  Appeals Court Allows Biden Private Business Covid-19 Vax Mandate To Take Effect, Setting Up Supreme Court Showdown

All appeals that have reached the Supreme Court to date have upheld vaccine mandates, with the most recent one coming earlier this week where they refused to issue an injunction against New York’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers.  Supreme Court Declines to Block New York COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Health Care Workers

So the “Vaccine” Cult leaders seem to have the courts in firm control, setting up new actions to take against the “vaccine hesitant” that will most certainly test the resolve of those who have not succumbed to their efforts so far.

Things are about to get very ugly, but the silver lining here is that there are more of us than they were reporting, which is what we have suspected all along.

As they roll out the next phase in Operation Omicron, expect them to inflict great casualties with their bioweapon shots, targeting seniors and children first, and then when they begin dying in massive numbers, many of whom will not even get into hospitals due to staff shortages, you can be absolutely sure they will blame the unvaccinated for their murders, and it is going to plunge this country into a civil war.

Myocarditis from COVID vs the “Vaccine”

**UPDATE Feb. 18, 2022**

And this telling video details how myocarditis concerns are growing. Jefferey Jaxen goes through the VAERS data as well.  Coroner states they are dealing with multiple cases.

Myocarditis from COVID vs the “Vaccine”: Peter McCullough

There is an over-emphasis by mainstream media on the devastation caused by the “virus,” while reporting on the devastation caused by the COVID injections is nonexistent. Further, they want readers to be so shaken up and fearful of the “virus” that they run out and get the shots without really looking into them.  This would be a BIG MISTAKE. They are new products that have been fast-tracked and are considered “experimental,” which means they have NEVER been used in humans before.  Ever. Those getting the injections are effectively enrolled in an ongoing study, where they are the study participants and are assigned to an arm of the study, receiving differing doses or even getting a placebo.  Many are unaware of this fact, but it is a FACT.  This explains why some are experiencing immediately horrific results while others are not.

Everyday, as I search supposed news sources, I’m amazed and appalled by mainstream media‘s obvious tactic of presenting the “virus” as the worst possible outcome on planet earth, and that the “vaccine” is the obvious safe and effective answer, when reality paints a far more complicated picture.

NEW PFIZER DOCS REVEAL UNSEEN HARMS

The constant barrage of a false-narrative is reminiscent of the Lyme/MSIDS debacle.  According to this article, news outlets adhere faithfully to CIA theology and Pharma’s alarming entanglements on topics of globalism, biosecurity, coerced vaccinations, Russiagate, a militarized foreign policy, censorship, lockdowns, “vaccine” passports, digitized currencies and other issues. Top-secret Operation Mockingbird was the CIA’s clandestine project which employed some 3,000 salaried and contract CIA employees to influence American media.  The CIA also established formal journalism training for its spies, embedding them in key journals and nurturing their careers.  The CIA coined the term “conspiracy theory” to discredit those who questioned the Warren Report, and it’s successfully been used since to suppress anyone defying the narrative.  The CIA has expanded its media tentacles around the globe and across the decades.

“This isn’t Operation Mockingbird. It’s so much worse. Operation Mockingbird was the CIA doing something to the media. What we are seeing now is the CIA openly acting as the media. Any separation between the CIA and the news media, indeed even any pretense of separation, has been dropped.”  Caitlin Johnstone

Recently a report states the CIA caught employees molesting children but didn’t prosecute them.

A top Pentagon security official, said that when workers’ computers were examined, “the amount of child porn I see is just unbelievable.”  Source

Please keep in mind that over 99% of those contracting COVID survive.  There is no need for a “vaccine.” There are safe, cheap, effective treatments – again, nullifying the need for a “vaccine.”  But, even if a “vaccine” were warranted, the ones in play now don’t stop transmission or infection and have caused more adverse reactions and death than ANY other vaccine in the 30+ years of VAERS history.  Keep that in mind. Reports continue to roll out on the life-altering reactions thousands upon thousands are having while our corrupt public health ‘authorities’ deny any connection to the “vaccine” when most of these reactions and deaths are occurring within hours to days of getting them.

The subject matter above by Dr. McCullough is a perfect example.  He simply explains that the myocarditis from the “vaccine” is infinitely worse than what is caused by the “virus.”

  • Those with myocarditis from the “virus” are sick enough to be in the ICU but it is MILD, inconsequential, and a troponin elevation only.
  • Pre-clinical trails show that the nano-lipid particles from the injections go right into the heart, the heart expresses the spike protein, and then the body attacks the heart causing dramatic EKG changes. Troponin from the “vaccine” is 10-100 fold higher than that obtained from the “virus.”
  • 90% of children getting myocarditis after the “vaccine” have to be hospitalized, have dramatic EKG changes, chest pain, early heart failure, need echocardiograms, & need medications to prevent heart failure.
So the next time mainstream media tries to frighten you with getting myocarditis from the “virus,” remember these details they are purposely omitting on the lucrative COVID injections.

Lyme Can Affect the Heart in Complicated Ways

https://www.lymedisease.org/baranchuk-lyme-heart-complications/

Lyme disease can affect the heart in complicated ways

By Dr. Adrian Baranchuk, Dec. 3, 2021

Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme carditis is an early manifestation of Lyme disease that can occur two to six weeks after the tick bite.

Approximately five to 10 per cent of patients presenting to family doctors’ clinics or emergency departments with symptoms of Lyme disease may develop Lyme carditis.

The prevalence of Lyme disease in Canada continues to increase year after year. Nearly 2,700 people were diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2019, but the number of reported cases may not reflect the actual number of cases.

How Lyme carditis affects the heart

Lyme carditis most commonly manifests as high-degree atrioventricular block: a complete shut-down of the electrical system of the heart that can evolve rapidly over minutes, hours or days, producing severe symptoms like fainting, extreme dizziness or sudden death.

Less frequently, other serious cardiovascular manifestations may be present, such as:

  • sinus node disease, marked by alterations to the heart’s “motor” or natural pacemaker,
  • atrial fibrillation, which is a disorganization of the cardiac rhythm that increases the risk of stroke,
  • bundle branch blocks, or lesions in the distal cables of the heart that can interrupt electrical impulses, and
  • myocarditis, pericarditis or endocarditis, which are different degrees of inflammation of the layers of the cardiac walls.

Some of these manifestations can be so severe that total cardiac dysfunction may rapidly occur, and the patient may die despite medical efforts. Sometimes a heart transplant is the only option.

Diagnosing and treating Lyme carditis

The initial symptoms of Lyme disease can be mistaken for other common infections or allergic reactions. Delayed diagnosis and delayed initiation of proper treatment can lead to serious Lyme disease presentations including Lyme carditis in all its forms.

We need ongoing education at all levels (medical and nursing schools, community, governments) to close the gap in knowledge and ensure all participants in the health-care system aware of this preventable condition.

The good news is that prompt diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy leads to a much better prognosis. Lyme carditis responds very effectively to treatment, completely eliminating the cardiac manifestations, with a very favourable prognosis in both short- and long-term followup. We now know that when antibiotics are used according to guidelines, the prognosis two years after the infection reveals no residual disease in the heart.

It is important to remember that most heart conduction abnormalities caused by Lyme carditis resolve with appropriate antibiotic therapy without requiring the implantation of permanent pacemakers. As most patients presenting with Lyme carditis are young and otherwise healthy, any medical strategy that could prevent the need to implant a pacemaker for the rest of their lives is welcomed.

Confirming Lyme disease in the age of COVID-19

The current COVID-19 pandemic is posing a new challenge in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. The two conditions have a lot of overlapping symptoms, such as fever, malaise, generalized pain and lack of energy. During these times, it’s advisable to rule out COVID-19 first before embarking on any other test.

Asking focused questions about personal lifestyle may help guiding the diagnosis of Lyme disease. Some key questions include:

Skin examinations and ECGs

A bull’s-eye-shaped rash is a characteristic symptom of Lyme disease, but it isn’t present in all patients. Some have a less defined rash.

Thorough dermatological examination can clarify difficult cases. This happened in my clinic recently, when a nurse practitioner decided to run a full skin examination and discovered typical bull’s-eye rashes on the patient’s back.

Once the diagnosis is suspected, cardiovascular symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, fainting or near fainting, chest pain and shortness of breath should be investigated. If the patient reports any of these symptoms, along with any other factors suggesting Lyme disease, a 12-lead ECG (the simple and inexpensive electrocardiogram) should be performed.

Quite recently, a team from the United States did 12-lead ECG to a large series of pediatric patients presenting to the emergency department with high-suspicion of Lyme disease, and discovered that nearly 30 per cent of them had some conduction disturbance. Any evidence of electrical disturbance should prompt admission in hospital for a course of intravenous antibiotics while waiting the results of serological tests.

Suspicious Index in Lyme Carditis

From the other perspective, any patient presenting with unexpected high-degree atrioventricular block (full electrical shut down of the electrical system of the heart), the way to test for Lyme carditis is by running a risk score called SILC (Suspicious Index in Lyme Carditis), which was developed at Queen’s University and is now used worldwide.

SILC score is based on the risk factor acronym COSTAR (Constitutional symptoms, Outdoor activities/endemic region, Sex male, Tick bite, Age < 50, Rash), which may help in determining the likelihood of early Lyme carditis.

We need to keep teaching and learning about Lyme carditis. In addition to ongoing education, curricula in medical and nursing schools should be updated immediately to be sure that all new health-care providers are trained in the rapid recognition of this condition. When to order serological tests, how to check for cardiovascular symptoms and the value of the 12-lead ECG are all important steps in the management of Lyme carditis.

The effort to eradicate Lyme disease should involve physicians and nurses, patients and families, rigorous science and political decisions for sound policy implementation.The Conversation

American Heart Association Publishes Data Doctor Claims is the ‘Death Toll’ For COVID Jabs

https://healthimpactnews.com/2021/american-heart-association-journal-publishes-data-that-uk-medical-doctor-claims-are-proof-that-covid-19-vaccines-are-murder/

American Heart Association Journal Publishes Data that UK Medical Doctor Claims are “Proof” that COVID-19 Vaccines are “Murder”

Nov. 23, 2021

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

The American Heart Association Journal, Circulation, has just published an abstract on mRNA COVID-19 shots that UK medical doctor Vernon Coleman has stated: Finally! Medical Proof the Covid Jab is “Murder”

Here is the Abstract:

Abstract

Our group has been using the PLUS Cardiac Test (GD Biosciences, Inc, Irvine, CA) a clinically validated measurement of multiple protein biomarkers which generates a score predicting the 5 yr risk (percentage chance) of a new Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The score is based on changes from the norm of multiple protein biomarkers including IL-16, a proinflammatory cytokine, soluble Fas, an inducer of apoptosis, and Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF)which serves as a marker for chemotaxis of T-cells into epithelium and cardiac tissue, among other markers. Elevation above the norm increases the PULS score, while decreases below the norm lowers the PULS score. The score has been measured every 3-6 months in our patient population for 8 years. Recently, with the advent of the mRNA COVID 19 vaccines (vac) by Moderna and Pfizer, dramatic changes in the PULS score became apparent in most patients. This report summarizes those results. A total of 566 pts, aged 28 to 97, M:F ratio 1:1 seen in a preventive cardiology practice had a new PULS test drawn from 2 to 10 weeks following the 2nd COVID shot and was compared to the previous PULS score drawn 3 to 5 months previously pre- shot.

  • Baseline IL-16 increased from 35=/-20 above the norm to 82 =/- 75 above the norm post-vac
  • sFas increased from 22+/- 15 above the norm to 46=/-24 above the norm post-vac
  • HGF increased from 42+/-12 above the norm to 86+/-31 above the norm post-vac

These changes resulted in an increase of the PULS score from 11% 5 yr ACS risk to 25% 5 yr ACS risk. At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vac. We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.

Here is the video and Dr. Vernon Coleman’s comments:

It’s the 22nd November 2021 and this is the moment when the jabbing has to stop.

A couple of hours ago Darren Smith, the editor of the excellent The Light Paper, sent me a paper from the medical journal Circulation which proves that the covid-19 jabbing experiment has to stop today. I believe that any doctor or nurse who gives one of the mRNA covid jabs after today will in due course be struck off the appropriate register and arrested.

The journal Circulation is a well-respected publication. It’s 71-years-old, its articles are peer reviewed and in one survey it was rated the world’s no 1 journal in the cardiac and cardiovascular system category.

I’m going to quote the final sentence of the abstract which appears at the beginning of the article. This is all I, you – or anyone else – needs to know.

`We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy and other vascular events following vaccination.’

That’s it. That’s the death bell for the covid-19 mRNA jabs.

The endothelium is a layer of cells lining blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. T cells are a type of white cell.

We always knew these jabs were experimental. My video in December 2020, just under a year ago, warned about these specific risks. I read out a list of possible adverse events published officially by the American Government.

But now we have the proof of the link.

The mRNA jab is, remember, known not to stop people catching covid. And it is known not to stop people spreading it. I don’t believe anyone disputes these facts.

And yet vast numbers of deaths and serious injuries have occurred among people who have been jabbed. Look at the item entitled ‘Updated: how many are the vaccines killing?’ on my websites.

Now we have the evidence to stop the jabbing programmes.

In the study quoted in Circulation, a total of 566 patients aged 28 to 97 were tested. They were equally divided among men and women.

‘At the time of this report,’ says the author, ‘these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose of vaccine.’

At the very least, the use of these jabs must stop now. Immediately, until more long-term tests are done.

If there were any journalists left in the mainstream media, this news would be lead item on all TV and radio programmes and be on the front pages of all newspapers.

Thank heavens for free speech platforms such as BNT which enables me to bring you this news.

I’ve said for a year that this jab was an experiment – certain to kill and injure.

We’ve always known that to experiment on people without their full consent and understanding – after disclosing all the risks and potential side effects – is a crime.

Now the evidence exists that must stop this experiment.

If the covid jab experiment continues after today then we know for absolute sure that this is not a medical treatment, it is a cull.

Please share this video immediately with everyone you know.

Thank you.

Mitral Valve Dysfunction from Lyme Carditis

https://danielcameronmd.com/mitral-valve-dysfunction-lyme-carditis/

Mitral valve dysfunction from Lyme carditis

Man being examined with stethescope for mitral valve problems from Lyme carditis.

Lyme carditis is an uncommon but important manifestation of Lyme disease. In their study, Malik and colleagues describe the case of a young man with Lyme carditis with left ventricular dysfunction and valvular involvement occurring one week after a tick bite. [1]

By

The 22-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with cardiac problems. He suffered from morbid obesity and  complained of chest pain and lightheadedness for several days. During his examination, he was sweaty with a fast pulse of 115. He also reported having an erythema migrans (EM) rash.

Clinicians initially suspected the patient had non-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and prescribed intravenous heparin, the authors explain in the case report, “Early Onset Lyme Myopericarditis With Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Mitral Regurgitation.”

“Echocardiogram was done which showed a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 49% with mild diffuse hypokinesis, and moderate to severe mitral regurgitation,” the authors wrote.

Test results were positive for Lyme disease and the man was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone.

“If left untreated, Lyme carditis can lead to acute heart failure and sudden cardiac death thus prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential in management.”

“A repeat echocardiogram was performed, which showed an improvement of the previously visualized mitral regurgitation and normalization of LVEF,” the authors wrote.

The patient had a marked improvement in his symptoms and resolution of his rash. He was discharged home with a 3-week course of oral doxycycline.

“On a 1-month follow-up, patient remains asymptomatic and is back to his previous baseline,” according to the authors.

Cardiac manifestations in Lyme disease typically occur 1 to 2 months after the onset of infection, the authors wrote.  “In our patient, however, Lyme carditis was seen a little over 1 week after known tick exposure.”

A growing number of cardiac manifestations due to Lyme disease have been described. “Clinical manifestations of Lyme carditis include arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, myopericarditis, ventricular dysfunction, and acute heart failure,” the authors wrote.

“Left ventricular dysfunction, as seen in our patient, has been reported to have an incidence of 0.5%.”

Valvular dysfunction due to Lyme carditis is rare. “To date, about 7 cases of valvular involvement in Lyme carditis have been reported making this phenomenon exceedingly rare.”

“If there is a high suspicion for Lyme carditis, empiric treatment with antibiotics should be started while the initial evaluation is pending.”

Death from Lyme carditis is rare. “A case series published by the CDC reported 3 individual deaths that were attributed to Lyme disease by postmortem examination indicating that lack of treatment can lead to fatalities.”

Shen and colleagues described the death of a 25-year-old man with Lyme carditis. “He presented with syncope and second-degree Mobitz type 2 heart block, as well as disseminated erythema migrans rash.”²

The patient received a temporary pacemaker and was discharged after 4 days of intravenous ceftriaxone.

“The patient returned home to a different state and reportedly died at home about 1 week after discharge.” There was no autopsy report or records to determine the cause of death.
