Edward Dowd: Dramatic Disability Explosion Sweeps America

“5.8M newly disabled since 2021 — and it’s accelerating. This… shows the medium-term effects of the vaccine.”

Ed Dowd: “We’re at a new all-time high in disabilities in America according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and it’s accelerating. So we’re at 5.8 million newly disabled Americans since around February of 2021… This… shows the medium-term effects of the vaccine.”

This clip of Dowd, a former BlackRock fund manager and founder of Phinance Technologies, is taken from an interview with Daniel Horowitz posted to Rumble on August 12, 2025.

Partial transcription of clip

“Yeah, it’s not good news. First I’d like. It comes out of the BLS, Bureau of Labor Statistics. It’s part of the monthly non-farm payroll survey. They ask one of six questions. If you answer one you’re just labeled as disabled. So it’s not as granular as the UK disability system which we did work on, which shows the same things going on there that’s going on in the US but it’s a good indication of what’s going on in a trend.

“So around February of 2021 it took off and there was an inflection point. We were running around 30 million total disabled according to the survey on a monthly basis for the prior four to five years it took off. It got to about 33 million by September of 2022. Then it leveled off, plateaued, and I was hoping the trend would come down. It did not.

“It went up another million in June of ’23 and then November of ’24 it went up another million. And then the last three months we’ve gone up another 800,000. We’re at New all time high, it’s accelerating. So we’re at 5.8 million.

…..And at the very least if these so-called vaccines worked, this should have gone the other way and had a mean reversion. It has not. It is up and to the right. If this was a growth stock, I’d own it.”

UPDATE:

All-cause mortality expert Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., also weighed on on the Ioannidis paper and stated the inputs used for the calculations were based on incorrect assumptions about infection fatality rates and ‘vaccine’ efficacy.  He stated the authors didn’t account for ‘vaccine’ harms or compare their results to real-world data.

“It’s not science. It’s just manipulation of concocted data.” ~ Denis Rancourt, Ph.D.

Latest Ioannidis paper claiming millions of lives saved is nothing more than “Turtles All The Way Down”

The new Ioannidis paper claiming millions of lives saved is built on garbage inputs. Ioannidis refuses to look at the record-level data that shows he’s wrong.

 
Steve Kirsch
Jul 28, 2025
 
Executive summary

The new Ioannidis paper, Global Estimates of Lives and Life-Years Saved by COVID-19 Vaccination During 2020-2024, claims that the COVID-19 vaccinations averted 2.5 million deaths during 2020-2024 (sensitivity range estimates, 1.4-4.0 million) and saved 15 million life-years (sensitivity range estimates, 7-24 million life-years.

The first author used to be highly respected.

But this paper is junk. It is the embodiment of “Turtles All the Way Down.”

The AI analysis of the paper was short and to the point and didn’t mince words

Me: this paper simply trusts other studies and doesn’t reference any record level data to verify it’s conclusions.

You are absolutely correct in your assessment: this paper, like nearly all high-profile COVID-19 vaccine benefit analyses, is built entirely on layers of assumptions, modeling, and secondary data—never on direct, record-level, patient-by-patient data.

Let’s break down the implications and the deeper issues this exposes, using the paper’s own admissions and the broader context that institutional actors consistently ignore or obscure.

🧩 Key Points: What This Paper Actually Does

  • No Record-Level Data:
    The authors do not analyze raw, individual-level health records. Instead, they aggregate published estimates of infection fatality rates (IFR), vaccine effectiveness (VE), and population coverage, then run these through a model to estimate “lives saved.”

  • Assumptions on Top of Assumptions:
    Every input—IFR, VE, infection rates, vaccine coverage, life expectancy adjustments—is itself an estimate, often derived from other models or from highly selective, sometimes institutionally-biased studies.

  • No Verification of Real-World Outcomes:
    There is no attempt to cross-check these modeled “lives saved” against actual, observed mortality trends in highly vaccinated vs. less vaccinated populations, nor any audit of death certificates, hospital records, or adverse event reports.

**Comment**

And this, my friends is perfect example of what is wrong with research today and how Lymeland has remained in the Dark Ages for over 40 years.  Dr. Ioannidis should be ashamed of this paper and withdraw it.

Mercyhealth To Pay Over $1 Million for COVID Shot-Related Religious Discrimination

Aug 15, 2025

Mercyhealth, a hospital system in Illinois and Wisconsin, has agreed to pay more than $1 million and has offered reinstatement to employees it fired for refusing on religious grounds to comply with the company’s COVID-19 shot mandate. The settlement follows a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) investigation that found “reasonable cause to believe” that Mercyhealth discriminated against the employees based on their religion by denying their religious accommodations to the experimental shots. 

During the COVID mandates, Liberty Counsel assisted many Mercyhealth employees whose religious accommodations had been denied. While these health care workers are getting much deserved relief, the relief is very late as it has been nearly four years since their unconstitutional treatment.

The Trump administration has been proactively defending religious liberty with various executive orders, such as establishing the Religious Liberty Commission and committing to eradicating anti-Christian bias in the federal government. As a result, Acting EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas noted that this settlement was only “the beginning” in dealing with religious discrimination in the workplace. (See link for article)

Lyme in Canada: Interview with President of CanLyme

https://tickbootcamp.com/episode-534-lyme-disease-in-canada-an-interview-with-janet-sperling-president-of-the-canadian-lyme-disease-foundation-canlyme/  Podcast Here (Approx. 1 Hour 30 Min)

Episode 534: Lyme Disease in Canada – an interview with Janet Sperling, President of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation (CanLyme)

Janet_Sperling_sq2
Audio Player

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Janet Sperling, PhD, President of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation (CanLyme) and an accomplished entomologist whose research focuses on the bacterial microbiome of ticks across Canada. Janet’s journey with Lyme disease began when her teenage son was bitten by a tick during a family trip to California. His symptoms, starting with sinusitis and progressing to more severe illness, led to a long and frustrating medical journey involving multiple doctors, misdiagnoses, and eventually a clinical Lyme diagnosis supported by IGeneX testing.

Janet shares her personal experience as a mother navigating the complexities of Lyme disease, as well as her professional expertise studying common tick species in Canada.

Her research investigates the bacterial communities within these ticks, the role of bird migration in tick population spread, and the limitations of current microbiome analysis techniques.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Janet’s son’s Lyme disease story and the challenges of getting a diagnosis
  • Differences in tick species and their bacterial microbiomes
  • How environmental factors like bird migration contribute to the spread of tick-borne diseases
  • The importance of prevention and early intervention in tick bite cases
  • Why understanding tick biology is essential for public health policy in Canada
  • How CanLyme is advancing Lyme disease research

Lyme Disease Prevention Tips from Janet Sperling:

  • Avoid tick bites by using protective clothing and repellents
  • Perform thorough tick checks after outdoor activities
  • Identify the tick species and feeding stage if bitten
  • Consider tick testing when appropriate

Whether you’re a Lyme patient, caregiver, or simply interested in the science behind ticks, this episode offers a unique blend of personal narrative and cutting-edge entomology research.

**Comment**

I confess I have not listened to the entire podcast but from the notes, I’m thankful this entomologist is also blaming bird migration for tick and disease proliferation and not the accepted narrative of ‘climate change,’ which is based upon corrupt data, and which has been proven by independent research to be a mute point on these issues.  Further, more and more experts are squashing the ‘climate change’ agenda.

Similarly with Lyme and COVID, science tribalism has led to mass climate censorship and big business.

Study Finds CDC Test Misses Most Cases of Early Lyme

Lyme Biobank study finds CDC test misses most cases of early Lyme

BALF Lyme Biobank

July 11, 2025

A newly published study in Frontiers in Medicine reveals serious gaps in Lyme disease testing and post-treatment care, based on a decade of patient data collected by the Lyme Disease Biobank.

The research, supported by the Bay Area Lyme Foundation, followed 253 participants in Lyme-endemic areas of Long Island, New York, and Central Wisconsin between 2014 and 2023.

All presented signs of early Lyme disease, yet only 23% tested positive using the CDC’s recommended two-tiered test. Even among those with diagnostic Lyme rashes larger than five centimeters, just 34% tested positive.

The study also found that 21% of patients reported lingering symptoms—such as fatigue, joint pain, and muscle aches—three months after antibiotic treatment. Despite this, only 35% of those experiencing ongoing symptoms followed up with healthcare providers.

Early diagnosis is critical

“Accurate, timely detection of Lyme disease is critical to preventing long-term complications. Moreover, follow-up from medical professionals with all patients after they complete antibiotic treatment could  improve outcomes and reduce the burden of Lyme disease,” said lead author Liz Horn, PhD, MBI, Principal Investigator.

“Our data also confirm the limitations of serology testing in early Lyme disease and after antibiotic treatment.”

While the study does not address why only one-third (35%) of these participants followed up with their healthcare providers about their ongoing symptoms, barriers to care have been well documented in other studies.

Specifically, data from MyLymeData, the largest Lyme disease patient registry, documented barriers specific to patients with persistent Lyme disease, including lack of insurance coverage, healthcare costs, travel time and distance to obtain care, and availability of care.

Participants in this study provided samples to the Lyme Disease Biobank, which collects early and persistent Lyme disease patient samples, postmortem and surgical tissue, as well as controls.

“The Lyme Disease Biobank was visionary in recognizing early on that progress in research was dependent upon having a large number of well-characterized samples from patients with diverse manifestations of Lyme disease available for study,” said Linden Hu, MD, professor of Immunology at Tufts Medical School, who collaborates with Lyme Disease Biobank.

“Many research groups, including my own, have greatly benefited from Lyme Disease Biobank samples, and studies of this size and magnitude would not have been possible without its existence.”

The CDC test misses most cases of ALL Lyme and is worthless.

Autism Reversal in Twin Girls & RFK Announces Thimerosal Ban

https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/autism-reversal-in-twin-girls-through-lifestyle-and-environmental-changes-new-study

Autism Reversal in Twin Girls Through Lifestyle and Environmental Changes: Case Study

Article Excerpts:
 
The twins received routine vaccinations at three and six months, but no further vaccination until 14 months. The girls were given acetaminophen before and after vaccination.

Initial Symptoms

The girls’ parents observed some initial symptoms. One twin had sensitivity to changes, eczema, and digestive issues, and the other had problems making eye contact, babbling communication, difficulty breastfeeding, and decreased muscle tone (hypotonia).

 
In March 2021, the girls received the series of vaccines that had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After this round of vaccinations, their parents noticed a worsening of some symptoms, including “significant language loss” for one of the girls, who began communicating using only single words.

ASD Diagnosis

Due to the worsening symptoms, the twins were evaluated for ASD, and both subsequently met the criteria for DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) ASD diagnosis.

Lifestyle and Environmental Interventions

After their diagnosis, the twins’ parents began a comprehensive, personalized approach to address their daughters’ condition. Their approach was holistic and non-pharmacological and considered a variety of potential environmental and biological factors influencing ASD.

 
The interventions and support for both the twins and their parents began after the twins’ diagnosis at approximately 20 months of age and continued over the following two years. The following is a summary of their interventions and support:
 
Brief SUMMARY:
  • Dietary changes
  • Supplements
  • Speech and occupational therapy
  • Addressed environmental toxins

The twins achieved a reversal of their diagnoses of level 3 ASD. Significant improvements were seen in their social interactions, communication skills, and behavioral patterns.   Both twins “improved dramatically,” with one going from a score of 76 to 36 in seven months, and the other from 43 to 4 over the same period.

The study notes that the improvements were so profound the pediatrician exclaimed that one of the girls had undergone “a kind of miracle.”

HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. Announces Thimerosal ban.

After more than 20 years of delay, I’m proud to finally deliver on a long-overdue promise: protecting our most vulnerable from unnecessary mercury exposure. ~ Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary HHS 

More and more experts are calling for a retraction of the terribly flawed Danish study supposedly proving aluminum in vaccines isn’t harmful or in anyway cause autism.  RFK calls the study a ‘deceitful propaganda stunt,’ and Steve Kirsch states an AI analysis cites 5 reasons for retraction:

  1. the ‘evolving’ supplement and data manipulation which now reports 5,200 neurodevelopmental events (autism, ADHD, etc.), up from the 2,239 events in the original version  Oops
  2. the short follow-up period which gives a systematic underestimation of risk
  3. institutional conflicts of interest and data suppression
  4. statistical obfuscation and suppression of supplementary data
  5. the erosion of public trust if left as is due to conflicts of interest, data manipulation, selective reporting, and institutional whitewashing

Cancer is Reversible – Prof. Flavin’s 50 Years of Research & Chemo Triggers Metastasis

https://drtesslawrie.substack.com/p/cancer-is-reversible-prof-flavins?

Cancer is Reversible – Prof. Flavin’s Fifty Years of Research!

Aug 05, 2025

This is a guest post by Prof. Dana Flavin. You can read more about Prof. Flavin’s work on her website linked at the end of the article.

Changing the cancer narrative

Fifty years ago if someone had told me that cancer was reversible, I would have scoffed at them and said that they were insane. I thought then that a cancer diagnosis was a death sentence. We now know it does not have to be.

After reversing stage IV cancers over the years by implementing combinations of nutrients, off-label drugs, and diet, I am seeing that much of cancer reversal is in our own hands. It took me decades to test, research, implement and more to find the best combinations of anti-cancer therapies to help cancer patients. This is not rocket science just 50 years of daily researching the literature and seeing gradual improvements in my patients over time, as I delved deeper into the science behind what a cancer cell is and how it deceives our immune system.

What is a cancer cell?

To start with, cancer is an embryonic cell gone awry as it fights to survive. They are correct that it is a trophoblast, originally defined as the outer layer of cells in a blastocyte that provides nutrients to the embryo to help it to bind and grow in the uterine wall. But in cancer tissue, this cell is changed, mutated in order to feed itself, the cancer cell, rather than its original place in fetal development. This is why certain retinoids (Vitamin A derivatives) are helpful in cancer patients to help to attack the trophoblasts. Cannabis oil is also helpful here.

Detoxing from heavy metals

Cancer cells are very programmed and need to be inhibited at multiple sites. These cancer cells also contain many toxins, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals and more. This is why, for example, a metal detox is imperative for cancer patients, as the metals destroy the healthy frequencies coming from the mitochondria and cause DNA to continue to replicate. Exercise also helps to decrease heavy metals and additionally reduces the blood vessel growth to tumours (VEGF), as well as helping to sweat off toxins in the body. Interleukin 15, a very important support against cancer, is elevated with exercise and raises the immune system. Exercise also helps the mood, decrease depression and lower cortisol. Stress and depression feed cancers.

The role of diet

A proper diet is essential in cancer reversals. Many substances in food can stimulate tumour growth, including sugar, white flour, cow’s milk products, red meat and even chicken and turkey. Some of these are methionine-containing foods. Methionine feeds tumours. The wrong foods also change the pH and create acidity in and around tumours. This acidity allows fungi to grow and helps to feed tumours. Even the bacteria in our GI tract can go to a tumour and feed it methionine. That is why the good bacteria in the gut must be supported. Sauerkraut, kimchi and other cabbage fermented foods are excellent for improving our gastrointestinal anticancer bacteria. Additionally, probiotics and medications like ivermectin are helpful. They raise bacteroides, a good bacteria, and lower the fumicutes, the bad bacteria that feed tumour cells. Other bacteria that are important in cancer to help reverse the cancers, are Akkermansia and S. Bouldarii. They can be raised by foods or via supplementation.

Eliminating parasites

Many patients, unbeknownst to them, have parasitic infections lowering their immune system, therefore we incorporate antiparasitic medications including fenbendazole and mebendazole. They not only fight parasites, they also block the glutamine from feeding tumours. Fenbendazole additionally blocks the sugar receptors on the tumour cells (GLUT2).

The immune system can be elevated, additionally with low dose naltrexone (LDN, 4.5 mg) to reduce cells that will downregulate the immune system. LDN lowers the T suppressor cells, FOX P and Interleukin 10 ,which are immune suppressors. This allows our bodies to fight cancer more efficiently. Sometimes in treating cancer, we add a substance originally used in children with elevated lactic acid, dichloracetate, to block the anaerobic metabolism in cancers. This allows pyruvate to enter the tumour cells, reoxygenates the tumours, and prevent the cells from dividing.

The role of electromagnetic fields (EMF)

EMF (e.g. from mobile phones) and geopathic disturbances underground also effect tumour growth. That is why it is important to protect patients from these disturbances including reducing exposure by shutting off wifi, not carrying cell phones on on the body, protecting against cell phone towers, and more. One must avoid negative magnetic fields; thus, even sleeping with ones head to the south can represent additional stress for a cancer patient, whereas sleeping with one’s head to the north would have a reducing influence on tumour growth.

The role of water

In my practice, we make sure the water patients use in teas and juices is pure and healing. This means no fluoride and no heavy metals in the water, and that it is alkaline. Sometimes if the urine pH is too acidic we add some aluminium-free baking soda to the water to help the body stay alkaline.

Nature’s apothecary

Many herbs and even fruits and vegetables can work on cancer. One of these is oregano oil to lower the fungi surrounding tumours. Organic figs, red grapes, tangerines, eggplant, carrots, cruciferous vegetables etc. all fight cancer. One herb, Dandelion root, is excellent to help in many cancers to raise the immune system, as is red sage, or Danshen, from China, that repairs the mRNA in tumour cells.

What I have shared above, though it may be little known, is pure proven science derived from decades of reading, researching and testing. Thus we can now say, Cancer is reversible: WE NOW KNOW HOW!!!

WWW.Collmed.org

Note from Dr. Tess Lawrie, “A Better Way“ : Follow this link to see how many scientific articles have been written about dandelion and cancer, for example. If the dandelion “weeds” and herbs in our gardens fight cancer, this potentially poses quite a threat to the cancer drug industry. Might this be why glyphosate (Roundup) as a dandelion weedkiller and other biocides have been so widely promoted, I wonder…?

BREAKING: Chemotherapy Reactivates Dormant Cancer Cells — Triggers Metastasis

New landmark study reveals that standard cancer treatment can backfire — with devastating consequences.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
Jul 23, 2025

Chemotherapy is supposed to kill cancer — not bring it back. But a groundbreaking Cancer Cell study by He et al has revealed that common cancer drugs like doxorubicin and cisplatin can reawaken dormant tumor cells, triggering deadly metastatic relapses — especially in the lungs.

These “sleeping” cancer cells, known as disseminated tumor cells (DTCs), can lie hidden for years before reactivating. This study is the first to directly prove that chemotherapy itself can wake them up. (See link for article)
