No matter how diligent your research, finding truthful information about the risks of COVID vaccines can be tricky, according to investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson.

During a recent segment of “The Sharyl Attkisson Podcast,” Attkisson said information about the safety of COVID vaccines and other medicines is often “falsely portrayed by propagandists and pharmaceutical interests.”

COVID vaccines are being used on an “emergency basis,” said Attkisson, meaning they weren’t subjected to the same safety trials vaccines normally go through before hitting the market. “That’s why we’re learning things in real time as we go,” she said.

Attkisson said the fact that some scientists are calling for an immediate halt to the use of COVID vaccines, at least until new safety measures are put in place, is evidence of mounting concerns about the safety of the vaccines.

Attkisson cited a paper by 57 scientists from 17 countries warning of the potential risks of vaccinating the world with shots that lack adequate safety testing. The authors of the paper, published in Authorea, demanded answers from international health agencies, regulatory authorities, governments and vaccine developers.

The authors wrote:

“Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, the race for testing new platforms designed to confer immunity against SARS-CoV-2, has been rampant and unprecedented, leading to conditional emergency authorization of various vaccines. Despite progress on early multidrug therapy for COVID-19 patients, the current mandate is to immunize the world population as quickly as possible. The lack of thorough testing in animals prior to clinical trials, and authorization based on safety data generated during trials that lasted less than 3.5 months, raise questions regarding vaccine safety.

“Given the high rate of occurrence of adverse effects that have been reported to date, as well as the potential for vaccine-driven disease enhancement, Th2-immunopathology, autoimmunity and immune evasion, there is a need for a better understanding of the benefits and risks of mass vaccination, particularly in groups excluded from clinical trials.”

**UPDATE July 15, 2021**

In an unprecedented totalitarian move, an advisory put out by the U.S. Surgeon General is recommending that Big Tech companies (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc) impose consequences for accounts that violate the private companies’ own policies.  In other words the government is telling privately owned companies what to do – particularly with regard to what they call ‘misinformation’, defined as ‘information that is false, inaccurate, or misleading according to the best available evidence.’

This article states Facebook now says medical studies published in peer-reviewed journals are FAKE NEWS if they conclude things it disagrees with.  One paper in question was published in JAMA, revealing that masking schoolchildren exposes them to dangerously high intake of carbon dioxide.  This paper was recently retracted, by JAMA but a German study on nearly 26,000 children found the exact same thing, not to mention numerous studies have shown them to be pathogen reservoirs. These are unacceptable findings to Zuckerberg and go against what Fauci said at one point before flip-flopping a few times, therefore must be eliminated from planet earth.  A year ago, I posted a PPE developer’s experience with having trouble breathing using the N95 mask and his subsequent experiment showing the lowered oxygen levels, but experience and expert testimony don’t matter anymore.  He believes lack of oxygen isn’t as noticeable with other masks due to the gaps and holes – but that these very gaps and holes make them ineffective against a virus; however, wearing masks continuously for hours every day has never been done or studied, therefore the long-term impact has been unknown until now.

When users or pages attempt to share either of the two articles, a warning pops up from Facebook’s “fact checkers” explaining that the peer-reviewed science is a “hoax”.  I’m certain FB also would not approve of sharing the fact that graphene oxide has been found in masks.

In case you missed it, Big Tech has already been censoring and shutting down accounts that disagree with what the government is peddling, which includes theirown infective treatments and injections they erroneously call “vaccines.”

Our own government is guilty of ‘misinformation’ but has gotten away with it because they hold the power. They have lied about COVID being isolated, the effectiveness of masks, testing, actual case counts of COVID, that there are cheap, effective treatments, the true cause of death, and on the effectiveness and safety of the COVID injection, which they own half the patent on.

While the U.S. General states that, “health misinformation is an urgent threat to public health. It can cause confusion, sow mistrust, and undermine public health efforts, including our ongoing work to end the COVID-19 pandemic,” they are the ones repeatedly sowing misinformation and by keeping life-saving treatment from sick people so they can push their own lucrative treatments and injections.

Interestingly, they call those sowing ‘misinformation’ ‘super-spreaders.”  This is not by accident.  Bullies have always used name-calling in their arsenal of tools.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

There is a information war going on.  Make sure you are equipping yourself with facts that haven’t been twisted by those with vested interests.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will announce a new warning on Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J) COVID vaccine saying the shot has been linked to Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), a “serious but rare” autoimmune disorder. The Washington Post attributed the news to “four individuals familiar with the situation.”

According to The New York Times, the chances of developing GBS after receiving the J&J shot is three to five times higher than would be expected in the general population in the U.S.

About 100 preliminary reports in the U.S. of GBS have been detected after receiving J&J’s vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a statement to CNN today. Most cases were reported about two weeks after vaccination, mostly in men 50 and older.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is expected to discuss the GBS cases during an upcoming meeting, the CDC said.

GBS is a rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks part of its peripheral nervous system — the network of nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord — and can range from a very mild case with brief weakness to paralysis, leaving the person unable to breathe independently.

While the cause of GBS is not fully known, it often follows infection with a virus and has been linked to other vaccines.

The FDA has concluded the benefits of the vaccine outweigh any danger, but will include the proviso in fact sheets about the drug for providers and patients.

“It’s not surprising to find these types of adverse events associated with vaccination,” said Dr. Luciana Borio, former acting chief scientist at the FDA. The data collected so far by the FDA, Borio said, suggest the vaccine’s benefits “continue to vastly outweigh the risks.”

Reports of GBS are rare, the CDC said, “but do likely indicate a small possible risk of this side effect following” the J&J vaccine.

Federal officials identified the 100 suspected cases of GBS among recipients of the J&J shot through the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) — a federal monitoring system that relies on patients and health care providers to report adverse effects of vaccines.

According to the most recent data from VAERS, between Dec. 14, 2020 and July 2, there were 398 reports of GBS with 187 of cases attributed to Pfizer, 159 to Moderna and 76 cases to J&J.

No link has been found between GBS and mRNA COVID vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna despite reports in VAERS.

The VAERS database indicates onset of GBS symptoms after the J&J vaccine within about three weeks of vaccination, The New York Times reported. One recipient, a 57-year-old man from Delaware who had suffered both a heart attack and a stroke within the last four years, died in early April after he was vaccinated and developed GBS.

As The Defender reported July 8, a third grade teacher developed GBS three weeks after receiving J&J’s COVID vaccine. Stacie [last name unknown] went to the emergency room several times after getting the shot because she was experiencing numbness of the lower extremities, but was sent home when tests were inconclusive.

The numbness continued to progress and Stacie eventually lost her ability to stand and walk. She was then hospitalized and diagnosed with GBS.

Gary Spaulding was an active landscaper who experienced a severe headache after receiving J&J’s COVID vaccine, causing him to go to the emergency room. Doctors immediately diagnosed Spaulding with Lyme Disease. Treatment was started, but numbness and tingling in his extremities progressed. After doctors initiated tests to determine the cause of the escalating series of symptoms, Spaulding was diagnosed with GBS.

Doctors believe Spaulding’s immune system, which was fighting Lyme Disease, was overstimulated by the COVID vaccine causing it to attack the myelin — the protective insulation that surrounds nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord.

Treatment was immediate and successful in arresting the progression of the disease, but not before Spaulding was almost completely paralyzed.

In April, The Defender reported on a Texas teenager diagnosed with GBS a few weeks after his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The teen said he believed the vaccine was to blame, according to a local Houston news channel KPRC2 report.

“I wanted to get the vaccine,” said Wyatt McGlaun, a high school senior from The Woodlands. “I felt it was the right thing to do. I wanted to travel and enjoy my last summer before college.”

A few weeks after receiving the vaccine, McGlaun became weak and had difficulty walking. He was admitted to CHI St. Luke’s Health where he was diagnosed with GBS. News reports did not disclose which vaccine the teen received.

J&J linked to blood-clotting disorders

This is the second time J&J’s COVID vaccine has been linked to a severe adverse reaction. On April 13, federal officials temporarily paused the J&J shot after confirming health officials were investigating six cases of blood clots in the U.S.

During the April 23 meeting, the ACIP said it had found 15 women diagnosed with rare blood clots, including three who died. Only two of the women were older than 50, with the risk highest in women ages 30 to 39.

The CDC advisory safety committee said the link between blood clots and J&J’s COVID vaccine was “plausible,” but concluded the vaccine’s benefits still outweigh the risks and recommended the vaccine for persons 18 years of age and older in the U.S. under the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).

On April 26, the FDA amended it’s EUA for the J&J vaccine to reflect the risk of rare blood clots and said vaccinations could resume immediately.

Please note the case mentioned involving Lyme disease.  In cast you missed it:

Doctors immediately diagnosed Spaulding with Lyme Disease. Treatment was started, but numbness and tingling in his extremities progressed. After doctors initiated tests to determine the cause of the escalating series of symptoms, Spaulding was diagnosed with GBS.
