Why did I research and publish this information?

We will all have to live with the effects of the introduction of the COVID-19 virus forever. We will all suffer the long-term effects to; health, society, economic, and politics, and if left unchecked, the unwanted reduction of our freedoms and rights. People are being forced to make extremely important decisions having far reaching health, family, and economic implications that cannot be reversed – and I am concerned that we are not being provided full truths, and un-biased facts and information. In what I’ve read thus far, it would almost seem that a certain level of disinformation is desired – perhaps to guide belief on loose facts?

I believe that the decision to be vaccinated or not is one that should be made with full information disclosure, without any pressures being applied to the person, with the presented information being in full and having been generated without bias, and that it is only then that a person can give informed consent and permission to proceed. After all, our bodies are our own, therefore I lack the right, or privilege, to force you to be vaccinated or undergo any treatment that you do not wish to undergo. Lastly, I want you and I to be as educated as possible, so we can come to our own conclusions. It’s when we all come to the same conclusion it possible that we have found truth – or have fallen victim of a really awesome deceit!

Is the information on these pages legitimate?

To my knowledge, yes. If you find I have erroneous information I ask you to PLEASE advise me immediately so that I can adjust it accordingly. There is a tremendous amount of dis- and mis-information that has been pushed forward, and I have worked hard to help separate fact from fiction. I do my best to update this information as I become aware, continue with my review, and as I am corrected by others.

I have posted questions on LinkedIn Groups, such as “Global Public Health – COVID-19, Influenza and Pandemic Preparedness Group” and Research Gate in the hopes individuals could offer some clarity. While my questions have been up-voted on Research Gate with nobody disqualifying them, I noticed those same were removed from the LinkedIn Groups and my Group memberships revoked! I found this both insulting and disturbing as I had asked unbiased and open questions, seeking fully qualified, fact-based, and unbiased responses. In performing my own review of the information available, I have answered most of my questions, but I still have some that remain open – and I ask them on these pages. And I’ve noticed that I’ve now had a few individuals from mRNA vaccine manufacturers review this page and look me up in professional directories.

While I might state my opinions periodically throughout note that they are just that – my opinion. I do my best to keep my opinion separate from the information so that you can generate your own opinion. Our opinions might be alike – or not. Please don’t feel any need to support me or attack me as this is not the purpose of this website.

COVID-19 Names

As I looked into this, I noticed a few names being thrown around, and wondered why there was seemingly a lack of uniformity in naming. Here is a link to a few names found on the WHO website. I have also provided some below:

When referenced as a Disease:
– COVID-19
– coronavirus

When referenced as a Virus:
– SARS-CoV-2
– severe acute repiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
– CoV2

I believe slang names to be:
– COVID
– 2019 novel coronavirus
– ‘rona

What is COVID-19?

Essentially, it is one of the many virus families that give us the “Common Cold”. This is from Wikipedia:

Well over 200 virus strains are implicated in causing the common cold, with rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, adenoviruses and enteroviruses being the most common.[13]

Wikipedia

We associate the above mentioned viruses with the ‘common cold’ because when we are infected with one of them, we get ‘like’ symptoms (also from Wikipedia):

Symptoms of COVID‑19 are variable, but often include fever,[9] cough, headache,[10] fatigue, breathing difficulties, loss of smell, and loss of taste.[11][12][13] Symptoms may begin one to fourteen days after exposure to the virus. At least a third of people who are infected do not develop noticeable symptoms.[14] Of those people who develop symptoms noticeable enough to be classed as patients, most (81%) develop mild to moderate symptoms (up to mild pneumonia), while 14% develop severe symptoms (dyspnea, hypoxia, or more than 50% lung involvement on imaging), and 5% suffer critical symptoms (respiratory failure, shock, or multiorgan dysfunction).[15]


At least a third of the people who are infected with the virus do not develop noticeable symptoms at any point in time.[41][42] These asymptomatic carriers tend not to get tested and can spread the disease.[42][43][44][45] Other infected people will develop symptoms later, called “pre-symptomatic”, or have very mild symptoms and can also spread the virus.[45]

Older people are at a higher risk of developing severe symptoms. Some people continue to experience a range of effects (long COVID) for months after recovery, and damage to organs has been observed.[16] Multi-year studies are underway to further investigate the long-term effects of the disease.[16]

What is the definition of a Vaccine?

A logical start point. Unfortunately this already gets a bit complicated, because the definition of a Vaccine was changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the change to the definition, a vaccine was medically and legally defined as serving two purposes:

  • stimulate an immunity in the person receiving it, and
  • disrupt transmission.

Vaccines were a preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen such as a bacterium or virus, or were a portion of the pathogen’s structure that, upon administration to an individual stimulate antibody production or cellular immunity against the pathogen. Of course the Vaccine itself was also incapable of causing severe infection. This helped the body recognize the basis of the virus and build an immunity to it without forcing the body to actually fight the virus off at the same time. Vaccines used to under-go time-dependent testing protocols, established to ensure safety and efficacy, with these tests (trials) typically taking between 10 and 15 years.

I offer the following definitions prior to recent alteration as according the US Center for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC):

  • Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.
  • Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
  • Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.
  • Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

It is important to fully understand how the above are linked: a Vaccine produces an immunity to a disease – people will not be infected by that disease if they are exposed to it. Vaccination is the act of inducing the vaccine into the body with purpose to produce an immunity to that disease.

As mentioned above, these definitions were changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Again as according to the CDC, the definitions were changed to:

  • Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.
  • Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
  • Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.
  • Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

As clearly stated above, vaccines no longer have to produce immunity to a disease. With the new definition they now just help stimulate the body’s immune system against diseases. And the act of vaccination now only has to produce protection from a disease.

I also noticed that “Protection” is not described or defined anywhere – other than it obvious by definition that the level of protection will now be less than prior provided by legacy vaccines. In fact, I would understand this to allow any other products offering even just a 1% increase in “protection levels” as being listed as a Vaccine.

As I understand this, if you were to apply these new mRNA “Vaccines” against the older terminologies, that these new mRNA products would simply be classified as “Treatments” – or perhaps best described as a gene manipulating platform.

Questions: I remain curious as to why the above mentioned definitions were changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Perhaps these changes and lack of definition are due to that these definitions changed alongside these mRNA solutions becoming available and as these mRNA vaccines are experimental they did not know what the level of protection was at the time of their writing?

Definition of Fully Vaccinated

According to the CDC, you are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 when you are two weeks beyond your second shot (dose).

How do Vaccines interact with the human immune system?

In basic, our immune system is made up of two parts:

  • the innate: representing the defenses we are born with, and
  • the acquired: which is developed as we are exposed to the environment

Traditional Vaccines

Classical vaccine molecules usually only work with the acquired immune system, however the innate immune system can be activated using an ingredient called an adjuvant. Traditionally, vaccines were made up of small amounts of the whole disease-causing organism, or inactivated (dead or altered) versions, or just the proteins that the organism produces. This material would be introduced into the body to provoke a response by the immune system. Because you are not introducing a live virus into the body, the body can more easily mount a defense without having to fight a live version of the virus. Through this, an immunity was produced, and re-transmission was disrupted.

mRNA

mRNA vaccines do not include any version of the virus (dead, alive, or synthetic). They instead deliver DNA instructions to molecules in your body that use these instructions to build spike proteins that are positioned on the surface of the affected cells. The immune system can then detect them and start to produce a defensive response. More simply put, the mRNA solution forces your body to produce ‘mutated’ cells that your immune system targets and destroys.

Because mRNA degrades rapidly in the body the mRNA molecule was modified to make it last longer, and because cells don’t readily absorb foreign mRNA it was packaged in fats (called lipids). We are advised that this allows the material to stay in the cell for up to two days. Note that the spike protein is only just one portion of the entire COVID-19 virus, thus if you get COVID-19 your immune system will still be blind to the other portions of the virus.

While I am to understand that new mRNA vaccines can also trigger the innate immune system (without having to include the adjuvant), it seems that the B Cells in the acquired immune system must become activated. This is because the B cells produce antibodies that mark the virus out for destruction by the immune system. In my reading, it seems that beyond animal infection models little seems known about how this works.

Note – it is important to recognize that YES the vaccine can and does change the DNA of those cells that it interacts with in your body, but it does not change your overall DNA throughout your body. Here is a video of a TEDx Beacon Street talk by Tal Zaks, chief medical officer of Moderna, confirming mRNA injection for COVID-19 can change your genetic code or DNA.

Questions:

  • What happens if the body does not mount a defense – there would be nothing to stop these mutated cells from replicating. I become completely confused when I am advised that these mRNA products are not changing DNA – they clearly are for those cells they interact with, or the Spike protien would not be created.
  • Could the introduction of this spike protien act as an ‘amplifier’ for other viruses or disease?
  • I am curious as to why these mRNA biologicals were not just simply classed as Treatments and provided alongside other possible treatments?
  • Why were other possible treatments not given any real spotlight like these were?
  • Combining all the above, I become concerned that the definitions were changed because these new mRNA products did not conform with the prior establised vaccine definition but were already being marketed as vaccines, so the definitions were changed in order to protect the manufacturers from legal recourse by leveraging prior established legal precedence.

What is “Efficacy”?

We constantly hear about how great the COVID-19 vaccines are per their level of efficacy, but most people have no idea as to what the term means – but most will derive a meaning based on its use in statements and advisories. Per my current understanding, I’d like to make very clear as to exactly how protective the vaccines were found to be in the trials. Per this video:

  • Pfizer’s original trial report from December 31, 2020 advised that the innoculations showed a 95% efficacy 7 days after the second dose. This was broadcast all over the media, and sounded like you were being offered a huge protection from the vaccine.
    • However, that 95% number was actually Relative Risk Reduction. This will be described later.
  • Absolute Risk Reduction is how much your overall risk of becoming infected is after you have been vaccinated.
    • The vaccines only offered a 0.84% risk reduction.
      • This was calculated in that during the trial, of the 18,198 people given the vaccine, 8 people got COVID-19 – and of the 18,325 people who did not get the vaccine, 162 people got COVID-19.
      • This means that the risk of contracting COVID-19 was extremely small, 162 out of 18,325 people, or 0.88% – whereas the vaccine reduced that count to 8 out of 18,198, or 0.04%. So it did work.
      • But this means that the Absolute Risk Reduction you are being offered is actually only 0.88% – 0.04% = 0.84% (not even 1%)!
  • This brings us back to the number that sounds much better, the efficacy, which is the relative difference between 0.88% and 0.04%. I can see why they pushed forward with the Efficacy value rather than using the Absolute Risk Reduction value.

The mRNA vaccines currently being provided are all experimental

Yes! You read that correctly – anyone taking an mRNA vaccine becomes part of the experiment. This is not a fully tested science, and the long-term effects are uncertain.

Vaccine manufacturers have immunity to any associated lawsuits

Yes, you also read that correctly. In the US, back in 1986 US President Ronald Regan granted legal immunity to vaccine manufacturers. It was reported that this was done in an attempt to speed the provisioning of vaccines to the market. In 1962 there were only 3 doses being administered compared with 24 doses in 1983 (a 21 dose increase across 21 years) – and again compared to 76 doses as of 2018 (a 52 dose increase across 35 years) – this represents a 22% increase. It is my understanding that those who took the vaccine, and have had life altering problems from it (up to and including death), are not able to sue for damages; nor are they covered by their insurance. Thus, if you are injured from a vaccine, you cannot sue the manufacturer for any damages.
