On COVID vaccines: why they cannot work, and irrefutable evidence of their causative role in deaths after vaccination

This text is a written summary of Dr. Bhakdi’s and Dr. Burkhardt’s presentations at the Doctors for COVID Ethics symposium that was live-streamed by UKColumn on December 10th, 2021. The two presentations can be viewed at the very beginning of the video recording of the symposium.

The authors
Dr. Bhakdi has spent his life practicing, teaching and researching medical microbiology and infectious diseases. He chaired the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene at the Johannes Gutenberg Unversity of Mainz, Germany, from 1990 until his retirement in 2012. He has published over 300 research articles in the fields of immunology, bacteriology, virology and parasitology, and served from 1990 to 2012 as Editor-in-Chief of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, one of the first scientific journals of this field that was founded by Robert Koch in 1887.

Dr. Arne Burkhardt is a pathologist who has taught at the Universities of Hamburg, Berne and Tübingen. He was invited for visiting professorships/study visits in Japan (Nihon University), the United States (Brookhaven National Institute), Korea, Sweden, Malaysia and Turkey. He headed the Institute of Pathology in Reutlingen for 18 years. Subsquently, he worked as an independent practicing pathologist with consulting contracts with laboratories in the US. Burkhardt has published more than 150 scientific articles in German and international scientific journals as well as contributions to handbooks in German, English and Japanese. Over many years he has audited and certified institutes of pathology in Germany.

The evidence
We herewith present scientific evidence that calls for an immediate stop of the use of gene-based COVID-19 vaccines. We first lay out why the agents cannot protect against viral infection. While no positive effects can be expected, we show that the vaccines can trigger self-destructive processes that lead to debilitating illness and death.

Why the vaccines cannot protect against infection
A fundamental mistake underlying the development of the COVID-19 vaccines was to neglect the functional distinction between the two major categories of antibodies which the body produces in order to protect itself from pathogenic microbes.

The first category (secretory IgA) is produced by immune cells (lymphocytes) which are located directly underneath the mucous membranes that line the respiratory and intestinal tract. The antibodies produced by these lymphocytes are secreted through and to the surface of the mucous membranes. These antibodies are thus on site to meet air-borne viruses, and they may be able to prevent viral binding and infection of the cells.

The second category of antibodies (IgG and circulating IgA) occur in the bloodstream. These antibodies protect the internal organs of the body from infectious agents that try to spread via the bloodstream.

Vaccines that are injected into the muscle – i.e., the interior of the body – will only induce IgG and circulating IgA, not secretory IgA. Such antibodies cannot and will not effectively protect the mucous membranes from infection by SARS-CoV-2. Thus, the currently observed “breakthrough infections” among vaccinated individuals merely confirm the fundamental design flaws of the vaccines. Measurements of antibodies in the blood can never yield any information on the true status of immunity against infection of the respiratory tract.

The inability of vaccine-induced antibodies to prevent coronavirus infections has been reported in recent scientific publications.

The vaccines can trigger self-destruction
A natural infection with SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) will in most individuals remain localized to the respiratory tract. In contrast, the vaccines cause cells deep inside our body to express the viral spike protein, which they were never meant to do by nature. Any cell which expresses this foreign antigen will come under attack by the immune system, which will involve both IgG antibodies and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. This may occur in any organ. We are seeing now that the heart is affected in many young people, leading to myocarditis or even sudden cardiac arrest and death. How and why such tragedies might causally be linked to vaccination has remained a matter of conjecture because scientific evidence has been lacking. This situation has now been rectified.

Histopathologic studies: the patients
Histopathologic analyses have been performed on the organs of 15 persons who died after vaccination. The age, gender, vaccination record, and time of death after injection of each patient are listed in the table on the next page. The following points are of utmost importance:

Prior to death, only 4 of the 15 patients had been treated in the ICU for more than 2 days. The majority were never hospitalized and died at home (5), on the street (1), at work (1), in the car (1), or in home-care facilities (1). Therefore, in most cases, therapeutic intervention is unlikely to have significantly influenced the post-mortem findings.
Not a single death was brought into any possible association with the vaccination by the coroner or the public prosecutor; this association was only established by our autopsy findings.
The initially performed conventional post-mortems also uncovered no obvious hints to a possible role of vaccination, since the macroscopic appearance of the organs was overall unremarkable. In most cases, “rhythmogenic heart failure” was postulated as the cause of death. more here (https://doctors4covidethics.org/on-covid-vaccines-why-they-cannot-work-and-irrefutable-evidence-of-their-causative-role-in-deaths-after-vaccination/)

Stand up commedian Heather McDonald goes on a rant about all her vaccines and boosters ... and then collapses on stage.

khv3prynoMBl/

TMZ has a article (https://www.tmz.com/2022/02/06/heather-mcdonald-comedian-collapses-hospitalized-show/) about how she fractured her skull, with video of her in the hospital.

Heather tells TMZ ... she felt somewhat dizzy when she was on stage and then just collapsed. She says it's never happened to her before.

She passed on the ambulance ... she says her sister-in-law -- who was in the audience -- took her to the hospital.

Heather says she got a cat scan as well as other tests, but so far it's unclear what caused her to faint.

No mention of her vax rant right before the collapse because that might just suggest a possible cause for her collapse.

She says she will be back on stage soon. I wonder if she will omit her "I love my vaccines" rant when she returns.

I am sorry she fractured her skull but .... oh the humanity.

Over half the deaths seen by this funeral director (link below) were likely caused by the COVID vaccines.

He is not alone in seeing this. All his other embalmer friends see it too. All of them. The only possible explanation: the COVID vaccines are killing massive numbers of previously healthy people.

Link to full video;
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/over-half-the-deaths-seen-by-this

Summary of the video for those who haven’t time to watch in the interviewers words…

Fifteen embalmers are all seeing odd fatal clotting in people that first started in 2021. As many as 65% of cases are affected. Just like the DMED data, this evidence is being totally ignored by the mainstream press and medical community as well as the CDC and other HHS agencies. The only explanation that fits all the facts is that the vaccines are killing Americans in massive numbers and should be immediately halted.

Meet Richard Hirschman, an embalmer in Alabama with over 20 years experience

Richard Hirschman is a funeral director who spotted really strange clots in dead people after the vaccines rolled out. He was interviewed by Jane Ruby on the Stew Peters Show. At nearly 800,000 views on Rumble alone, his interview is one of the most popular episodes in Stew Peters Show history.

I was originally introduced to Richard via one of my contacts. Richard has been embalming people for more than 20 years. He lives in Alabama.

Here’s my 53 minute interview where we get into the profound implications of what Richard found: that the vaccines are likely killing around 65% of the cases he is seeing today. There is simply no other possible explanation that fits the evidence.

If you thought the COVID shots were safe and effective before the video, and you still have a working brain, I’m pretty sure this video will change your thinking because there is only one possible conclusion: the COVID vaccines are killing massive numbers of people and nobody is investigating.

Here are some of the most important things I learned from Richard:

He started noticing the strange clots around May or June 2021. He’d never seen anything like it before in his life. However, he admits they could have started much earlier and he just never noticed them before because he was very busy.
He is not aware of any cases where the strange clots were seen in unvaccinated cases (except for one unvaccinated person who received a transfusion)
He started formally tracking the number of patients with the strange clots in late 2021.
He says currently over 50% of the bodies he embalms have the strange clots which he uniquely associates with the vaccines/boosters. This is the bombshell. The CDC says deaths from the vaccine are 0% and this embalmer, who has no conflicts of interest, says it is now over 50% of the cases he sees. They can’t both be telling the truth. One of them is lying.

In Jan 2022, 37 out of 57 (65% of all cases) had these suspicious clots. That’s huge.
His embalming volume varies by day. Sometimes it is one a day, other days it can be up to 6 or 7. He estimates he does an average of 2 per day, which is over 600 bodies a year. So while these aren’t huge numbers, the numbers are large enough that it is unlikely that the effect they are seeing is just due to small numbers.

He contracts out his services to a variety of funeral homes. In 2020, he’d see a lot of COVID deaths because other embalmers didn’t want to touch those cases. Richard is COVID recovered so he had no problem handling those cases. Now, however, that fear has greatly subsided so now he is seeing more of a representative sample (i.e., unbiased) of people who die. So his “over 50% of deaths” figure is only slightly exaggerated from an embalmer seeing an “unfiltered” set of people.

Younger people tend to be cremated, so he won’t see those cases.
His peers (he’s discussed with 15 of them) see the same thing he does but won’t speak out publicly. I see this in other areas such as school officials being afraid to reveal high rates of myocarditis in their schools. For example, Nikki Daniels, Head of School at Monte Vista Christian School, isn’t speaking out about the four myocarditis cases at their small private school (which translates into a rate of myocarditis that I’d estimate is more than 1 in 100).

The mainstream media, mainstream medical community, and HHS agencies are all ignoring Hirschman and others like John Looney. Only alt-media has reached out to him to write an article.
PolitiFact reached out to try to discredit him but ended up not writing an article presumably because they failed to find anything to attack him on.
There is no other explanation for this that we can figure out. It pretty much has to be a novel injectable product, first used in 2021 that results in blood clots and is injected into well over 50% of the population. There is only one drug that fits that bill: the COVID vaccines.

None of his embalmer friends who have seen the data are planning on getting any more COVID vaccine shots.
Richard is not alone. See this compilation: People who would know.
Fewer than 1% of people who get the shots will die. As Dr. Mike Yeadon points out in the comments below, whether you die or not is likely a combination of how well you “take up” and “replicate” the mRNA, how dangerous the batch is, and other factors.

Overview of the Real-World Experience and Evidence of Widespread Covid Vaccine Injuries and Deaths - Documenting the Enormous Increase in Health Problems and Deaths Since the Vaccine Rollouts

A list of clinical datapoints documenting the vaccine-associated carnage to show your local pro-vaccine doctor

The medical or pathophysiological rationales - aka the scientific explanation - for the vaccine injuries: What They (Allegedly) Didn't Know About the Vaccines - Summarizing the Mechanistic Pathways by Which the Vaccines can Cause Harm (https://ashmedai.substack.com/p/what-they-allegedly-didnt-know-about?utm_source=url)

Thomas Renz released a 193-page document analyzing all the major datasets relating to vaccine-associated adverse events: Official Notice of Evidentiary Findings Related to The Renz Law Covid19 Investigation (https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=https://renz-law.com/wp-content/uploads/Official-Notice-of-Evidentiary-Findings-Related-to-The-Renz-Law-Covid19-Investigation.pdf).

Introduction

This article is very simple: we’re just going to present the various datapoints and real-world experience/’facts on the ground’ showing the rise in the specific medical issues that the vaccines are widely alleged to cause.

Whatever one thinks about the medical or scientific rationales supporting or rebutting the assertion that the covid vaccines are dangerous, clinical outcomes will resolve the truth of the matter one way or another. (It is important to distinguish actual clinical outcomes from “reports” or “data” that can be doctored or outright fabricated out of whole cloth.)

If the vaccines are indeed causing an unprecedented amount of injuries and deaths, then we should be able to see a noticeable rise in deaths and in health problems that are associated with the short-term harms alleged to be caused by the genetic Covid vaccines. On the other hand, if the evidence truly does decisively prove that the vaccines are safe as the mainstream medical establishment claims, then it is impossible that there be any yet-unresolved increase in medical problems that started around the time of the vaccine rollout. If there were an increase in deaths or injuries that began with the vaccine rollout, on what basis can it be denied that the vaccines are not potentially the cause? Remember, a novel biological product is presumed dangerous unless and until it is proven to be safe.

This article will present the compelling evidence of the widespread devastation following the vaccine rollouts.

I am going to preface this article with what really is its conclusion, because I imagine that only the most intrepid readers will make it that far:

There has been an unexpected, undeniable, dramatic and sustained increase of various types of medical issues in population cohorts that historically do not experience these issues which coincide with the vaccine rollouts that has nothing to do with covid. This once-in-a-century (or 1/200 or 500 year event per insurance actuarial standards) public health catastrophe should have been noticed by every doctor. Yet, most doctors have failed to discern this rise of severe adverse health events even as they continue to push these vaccines, and now boosters, upon an increasingly disillusioned public. They continue to claim that there have not been any unusual patterns of medical issues since the vaccination campaign was launched.

This demonstrates that these doctors and medical professionals are laboring under a psychological and emotional bias that is keeping them from seeing this shocking, once-in-a-lifetime spike of health problems in age groups typically immune to such maladies.

These vaccines cannot be considered safe if only due to the unprecedented rise in health problems that began at the same time of the mass vaccination campaigns, for sure at least until this ominous phenomenon has been resolved.

Renowned virologist warns of ‘collapse of our health system’ due to complications from COVID vaccines
Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche warned of the damage being done to the immune systems of the vaccinated, and the inevitable grave consequences that would result.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/renowned-virologist-warns-of-collapse-of-our-health-system-due-to-complications-from-covid-vaccines/

Fri Dec 3, 2021 - 9:39 pm EST

(LifeSiteNews) — A renowned virologist and former senior officer of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation recently warned against the dangers of the experimental COVID-19 gene-transfer vaccines, encouraged the un-jabbed to “stay unvaccinated,” and predicted an inevitable “collapse of our health system” due to health complications in the vaccinated.

Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, who once worked as a senior program manager for the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) and has been considered one of the most talented vaccine creators in the world, issued a video “Message to Austria” on November 20 to coincide with a large rally in Vienna opposing new lockdown measures.

As a first priority, he advised the public, “Never, Ever — allow anything, or anybody, to interfere or suppress your innate immune system,” which is the first line of defense human beings have to fight off all infections.

According to Vanden Bossche, the “vaccine antibodies,” which are induced by the current COVID-19 vaccines, suppress innate immunity and they “cannot substitute for it” since they quickly wane in their effectiveness and cannot prevent infection or transmission of the virus.

Thus, these experimental injections, in contrast to innate immunity, “do not contribute to herd immunity,” he said.

Vaccinating children ‘an absolute no go!’

This reality is most important in the case of children whose “innate immunity can easily be suppressed by vaccinal antibodies” since their “antibodies are so young and so naïve that they can easily be outcompeted by vaccinal antibodies,” he said.

And since children are protected from many diseases by their innate immunity, including COVID-19, its suppression by these vaccines exposes them to many more dangers, and “could even lead to autoimmune diseases,” the expert warned.

Therefore, injecting children with these biological agents “is an absolute no go!” the virologist said. “We cannot vaccinate our children with these vaccines.”

Booster shots for the vaccinated ‘absolutely insane!’

urning his attention to the adult “vaccinees,” those who have been vaccinated, the specialist in microbiology said the suppression of innate immunity has already shown itself to be a problem in this population. “They are indeed going to have a difficult time to control a number of diseases,” including COVID-19.

Yet, since their innate antibodies have previously been trained through years of adapting and maturing, he said “they are usually more resilient to the vaccinal antibodies” than those of children.

However, this resilience can be further deteriorated by additional shots, and thus Vanden Bossche warns that giving these jabbed individuals boosters “is absolutely insane! What this will do is just further increase the immune pressure of the vaccinal antibodies on their innate immunity.” Thus, booster shots are “absolute nonsense! It is dangerous and should not be done!”

To the un-jabbed: ‘For God’s sake, stay unvaccinated!’

As for the unvaccinated, the Belgian physician described why they would fare much better, first breaking them down into three categories:

Those who have experienced no symptoms, who are “most likely simply protected by their innate antibodies;”

Those who have experienced mild symptoms, not having to stay in bed for any time; and

Those who recovered from the disease and may have even had a severe case of it.

Due to what he called the “high infectious pressure” of the Delta variant, the respective innate immunity systems of these unvaccinated may now have to struggle a bit more, and thus the first category may experience mild symptoms, the second, moderate, and the third may have “some higher susceptibility to some other diseases. For example, influenza or the common cold.”

“But very, very importantly, all are protected,” he said. “They all are still protected against severe disease and the majority of them will be protected against very mild or moderate disease.”

This is the case, especially, the virologist said, since COVID-19 “is not a disease of healthy people. People who are in good health have a healthy innate immune system that can deal with a number of respiratory viruses without any problem. These people are not only protected against the disease, but they can even in many cases prevent infection.”

Vaccinees ‘serving as a kind of breeding ground for the virus’

Therefore, in order to maintain their healthy innate immune system as protection against COVID-19 and many other diseases, Dr. Vanden Bossche offered the following three requirements to the unvaccinated:

“For God’s sake, stay unvaccinated! They should stay unvaccinated;”

“Take care of their innate immunity, meaning they should take care of their health … if you do this and you are unvaccinated, you will be spared from severe disease without any vaccine. On the contrary, the vaccine would do the opposite;” and

Those with comorbidities or underlying diseases “should be careful about contacts.”

For this third category of the more vulnerable, the physician said, “This is not to discriminate against the vaccinees, but [the un-jabbed] should especially avoid contact with vaccinees at this point in time.

“Vaccinees are now the people, and there is no doubt about this, who are really serving as a kind of breeding ground for the virus,” he said. “We need to have an extra protection for those who have underlying diseases. Do not vaccinate them, but in fact prevent them from being exposed to high infectious pressure.”

Health issues in the vaxxed ‘will inevitably lead to a collapse of our health system’

He encouraged his Austrian listeners that the only fight they have is “the fight for your health, [in] not getting vaccinated.” In accomplishing this, all of the other measures will not be sustainable.

Though he expressed great concern for “the vaccinees,” stating “we need to help them as much as we can because they will need extensive treatment in many cases,” he observed that the percentage of this group now being hospitalized “is now steadily increasing. Whereas more and more, with training of the innate immune system, with more exposure to the virus, more and more non-vaccinated people get protected.”

“This will lead inevitably — and I am not a doomsday preacher — but this will inevitably lead to a collapse of our health system. It cannot be otherwise,” he said.

‘Strength is found in serenity’

However, in closing, the virologist had a hopeful message, stating the lockdown measures “are not sustainable” and cannot last “for a long time.” He encouraged them to “stay calm,” sharing a German saying that translates, “Strength is found in serenity.”

Today's Pfizer document dump reveals ever more grim data. It is painfully obvious why they attempted to leverage the captured FDA to hide this all
DEATHVAX™ gonna DEATHVAX™.

Pfizer was forced to release an additional 80,000 pages today. There is further proof that Pfizer knew their DEATHVAX™ caused “Fatal 1223”, “Blood and lymphatic system disorders”, harmed fetuses of pregnant women, and that their gene therapy was never 95% effective, but, rather, has a “12% efficacy rate." Of course, that 12% efficacy is 100% false, and this unsafe gene therapy is only effective as a slow kill eugenics depopulation drug.

...

... from Jim Stone (http://www.jimstoneindia.com/.zv6.html):

An Italian group tried to get the facts on the Corona vax and discovered that all of the Western vaccines are protected by military intelligence secrecy laws (https://www.liberoquotidiano.it/news/italia/31452654/vaccino-covid-ema-report-sicurezza-coperto-segreto-militare.html) when information about them should be open public access.

To sum it up, a high level group in Italy that had really good backing requested all of the safety documents regarding several different corona shots and that group was told that the documents and studies with regard to safety were a high level military intelligence secret, being held from the public to avoid civil uprising.

Here is a crude translation:

Vaccine, "the security report covered by military secrecy": shock in Italy, what they hide from us

On paper it is written that pharmaceutical companies are obliged to periodically submit reports on the safety of the anti-covid vaccines they produce. There is a determination of Aifa, the national pharmaceutical agency, to establish it. And it was also published in the Official Journal. Too bad these reports on the Pfizer-Biontech, Moderna, Astrazeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines they seem to be a state secret: to date, the two associations of social promotion Idu (human rights instance, of Novara) and Dus (Human rights and health, of Rome) that had requested them have been answered with nothing. Enzo Iapichino, one of the lawyers of the associations that requested access to the documents and then found themselves forced to file a complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rome against Aifa, the Ministry of Health, the Technical-Scientific Committee, the Higher Institute of Health indicating various hypotheses of crime, from the omission of official acts to the false ideological.

As Iapichino tells Natascia Ronchetti, they have been trying to read those reports since November. The director general of AIFA, "Nicola Magrini replied that the reports on the safety of vaccines are confidential, they are owned by pharmaceutical companies", reveals the lawyer. "Especially that Aifa does not hold the required documentation. Magrini wrote to us to contact Ema, the agency European drug". Which they did, but even there nothing to do. "Ema denied us. Giving three reasons.

First, reports cannot be disclosed so as not to prejudice the decision-making process on unconditional authorization.

Secondly, they fall within the exceptions of their regulations, which relate to public order and military secrecy.

Thirdly, the interest in not affecting the final decision, which concerns precisely the authorisation, prevails over the public interest.

Absurd.

Because in Italy we have entire categories obliged to get vaccinated".

Then there was the Ministry of Health, again Aifa, but to date still no trace of the reports. The Iapichino's conclusion is "that there is a lack of transparency on the part of the institutions. If we talk about vaccine safety reports at this point we assume that they do not have them. If we talk about scientific studies, we assume that they have them. So why don't they make them available?"
So there you have it. A vax that is so "safe and effective" that what it does to people is now a military intelligence secret

I had a very unsettling experience recently of seeing someone who previously seemed to be quite a pleasant, helpful, rather shy but friendly person, transform into someone with a psychotic personality.
(Or maybe he's got multiple personalities, but I suspect it's from the jabs, and I know he's had at least one.)
He's a driver for the public transporation vans in my town which I use fairly often, so I've had encounters and conversations with him frequently.
I'm usually the only passenger, and so we have conversed along the way to getting my errands done.
He was always helpful beyond the call of duty, and went out of his way to see that I was comfortable and at ease.
This last time, he was like a completly different person, and it was very scary.
Like seeing Jekyll transform into Hyde. :evil:
Who knew that R. L. Stevenson's novel would be so prophetic? :fie:

That's very curious, and I already know I don't have to ask if you are just mistaking someone's unusual bad day, you see something else. Can you put into words more specifically what he said or did so 'Hyde-like'/different than his normal? The signs could be very worth us all taking note. Have you already/or do you think you could casually chit chat into asking him if he's jabbed/how long ago? I'd also be curious over time if you notice that it's a permanent change, flips or goes away. Thanks for reporting.

It wasn't anything that he said, because the last time I encountered him, he was uncharacteristically silent during the whole journey.
It was just at the end of the trip, when we had arrived back at my home, he exited the van and stood there just outside his door, grinning at me, before I picked up my shopping bags and carried them up the stairs to my porch.
Which was also uncharacteristic, since he had always before grabbed the bags and taken them up the steps for me before I had a chance to take any up myself.
This time he just stood there watching me struggle (I'm on crutches) and smiling broadly and evilly, with an extremely chilling expression in his eyes.
If I didn't know it was the same guy, I would have thought it was some imposter.
His aura and everything about his demeanor was completely different, and opposite to what he had presented as before.
I know only that he said he was finally jabbed about a year ago for the first time.
If he's had boosters since then I don't know, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me, as I've read that the boosters are much more dangerous.

Some very disturbing developments as to what these experimental "treatments" are & what they do, or could do .....

Nanowires are being used for the hybridization of humans. Pharmaceutical companies and world governments are attempting to grow artificial tissue inside humans, using organic matter from cross-species genomics. They appear to be trying to merge humans with electronic devices for internal tracking and remote control.

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome--The Latest Tragedy
by Dr. Joseph Mercola

"STORY AT-A-GLANCE
In recent weeks, media outlets around the world have started highlighting a medical phenomenon called “sudden adult death syndrome,” or SADS, in what appears to be a clear effort to obscure the reality of COVID jab deaths. Sad on steroids indeed
Underlying factors for SADS include undiagnosed myocarditis, inflammatory conditions and other conditions that cause irregularities in the electrical system of the heart, thereby triggering cardiac arrest
While SADS has been known to occur previously, what’s new is the prevalence of this previously rare event. In Australia, the Melbourne Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is setting up a new SADS registry “to gain more information” about the phenomenon
Data compiled by the International Olympic Committee show 1,101 sudden deaths in athletes under age 35 between 1966 and 2004, giving us an average annual rate of 29, across all sports. Meanwhile, between March 2021 and March 2022 alone — a single year — at least 769 athletes have suffered cardiac arrest, collapse, and/or have died on the field, worldwide
Among EU FIFA (football/soccer ball) athletes, sudden death increased by 420% in 2021. Historically, about five soccer players have died while playing the game each year. Between January and mid-November 2021, 21 FIFA players died from sudden death

In recent weeks, media outlets around the world have started highlighting a medical phenomenon called “sudden adult death syndrome,” or SADS, in what appears to be a clear effort to obscure the reality of COVID jab deaths.

SADS is also short for “sudden arrhythmic death syndrome,”1 which was first identified in 1977. Underlying factors for SADS (both the sudden adult death and sudden arrhythmic versions) include undiagnosed myocarditis, inflammatory conditions and other conditions that cause irregularities in the electrical system of the heart, thereby triggering cardiac arrest.2,3,4 While SADS has been known to occur before, what’s new is the prevalence of this previously rare event.

Historical Prevalence of SADS
According to the British Heart Association, there are about 500 cases of SADS in the U.K. each year.5 The British Office for National Statistics, on the other hand, show far fewer cases.6 The ONS lists a total of 128 cases of SADS (all age groups, whether listed as cardiac-related or unknown) in 2016, 77 cases in 2017, 70 in 2018, 107 in 2019 and 139 cases in 2020.

While data on SADS incidence for 2021 and 2022 are hard to come by, incidence has apparently risen sufficiently enough to cause concern in some countries. Before the pandemic, SADS was the acronym for sudden arrhythmia death syndrome, which was rare and with scant research on it except to mention that it accounted for about 30% of unexpected cardiac deaths among young people.7

But today, it’s no longer rare and SADS is virtually on steroids as the numbers of sudden deaths in young adults pile up around the world. The numbers are so concerning that in Australia, for example, the Melbourne Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is setting up a new SADS registry “to gain more information” about the phenomenon.8,9

According to a spokesperson, there are approximately 750 SADS cases per year in Australia. In the U.S., the average annual death toll from SADS is said to be around 4,000.10

Since the rollout of the COVID jabs, the news has been chockful of reports of young, healthy and often athletic people dying “for no reason” and doctors claim to be “baffled” by it. Doctors and scientists in Australia are even urging everyone under the age of 40 to get their hearts checked, even if they’re healthy and fit.11

Any thinking person, on the other hand, can clearly see the correlation between the shots, which are now well-known for their ability to cause heart inflammation, and the rise in sudden death among young and healthy people.

Hundreds of Athletes Have Collapsed and Died Post-Jab
Among athletes, sudden death incidence has historically ranged between 1 in 40,000 and 1 in 80,000.12 An analysis13 of deaths among competitive athletes between 1980 and 2006 in the U.S. identified a total of 1,866 cases where an athlete either collapsed from cardiac arrest and/or died suddenly. That’s 1,866 cases occurring over a span of 27 years, giving us an annual average of 69 in the U.S.

Data14 compiled by the International Olympic Committee show 1,101 sudden deaths in athletes under age 35 between 1966 and 2004, giving us an average annual rate of 29 sudden deaths, across all sports. Meanwhile, between March 2021 and March 2022 alone — a single year — at least 769 athletes have suffered cardiac arrest, collapse, and/or have died on the field, worldwide.15

Among EU FIFA (football/soccer ball) athletes, sudden death increased by 420% in 2021.
Good Sciencing, which is keeping a running total of athletic deaths post-jab puts the current number of cardiac arrests at 1,090 and total deaths at 715.16 Several dozen more are pending confirmation that the athlete had in fact received the shot.

Among EU FIFA (football/soccer ball) athletes, sudden death increased by 420% in 2021.17 Historically, about five soccer players have died while playing the game each year. Between January and mid-November 2021, 21 FIFA players died from sudden death.

COVID Jab Clearly Associated With Heart Injury
An opinion piece in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, published in April 2022, highlights the correlation between COVID jab-induced heart inflammation and sudden cardiac death in athletes:18

“Increased COVID-related SCD [sudden cardiac death] appears to be due, at least in part, to a recent history of infection and/or vaccination that induces inflammatory and immune impairment that injures the heart.

An unhealthy lifestyle that may include poor diet or overtraining may likely be a contributing factor. The seeming increased incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis during COVID-19 and in the post-vaccination period, and SCD, poses a serious risk to not only athletes but all others and is a cause for alarm.

As the population ages and the popularity of running, cycling, and other endurance sports increases, the burden of SCD risk can potentially grow as well. A strong focus on both health and fitness should be a loud and clear public health message.”

The Signal That Cannot Be Silenced
In a June 13, 2022, Substack article, Dr. Pierre Kory also commented on this latest effort to explain away COVID jab deaths:19

“I recently posted a deeply referenced compilation20 of evidence detailing the historic humanitarian catastrophe that has slowly unfolded within most advanced health economies across the world. Caused by a global mass vaccination campaign led by the Pharma masters of BMGF/WHO/CDC that illogically (but profitably) targeted a rapidly mutating coronavirus.

They did it with what turned out to be the most toxic protein used therapeutically in the history of medicine. In vials mixed with lipid nano-particles, polyethylene glycol and who knows what else.

I cited studies and reports showing massive increases in cardiovascular deaths and neurologic (and other) disabilities amongst working age adults, beginning in 2021 only.

A disturbing signal screaming from the original clinical trials data,21 VAERS data,22 life insurance data,23 disability data,24 reports of cardiac arrests of professional athletes,25 rises in ambulance calls for cardiac arrests in pre-heart attack age young people,26 and the massive increases in illnesses and data manipulations27 in Department of Defense databases.

As these events become more and more recognized by the average citizen (and occasional journalist), a new pathetic ‘Disinformation Campaign’ was launched in response trying to blame all the young people dying as simply a need for increased awareness of the rare condition called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS), rather than examples of the legions dying from the vaccines.

The fact checkers also came out in support of this narrative, branding anyone who thinks the vaccines are the cause of SADS as a conspiracy theorist ...

What is nauseating is the tone of purported good intention within these articles, informing folks that if you are related to someone young who died suddenly you should go see a cardiologist to make sure you don’t have an abnormal EKG.

After it turns out normal, they will assuredly tell you to get vaccinated, an absurdity atop a mountain of absurdities caused by our bio-medical-media industrial complex over the past 2+ years.”

Diseases ‘Suppressed by COVID’ Make Comebacks
Media are also trying to write off increases of other diseases as something other than COVID jab-related. “Diseases Suppressed During COVID Are Coming Back in New and Peculiar Ways,” CNBC reported June 10, 2022.28

The article goes on to discuss how viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 are now “rearing their heads in new and unusual ways.” Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, tuberculosis and monkeypox have all “spiked and exhibited strange behaviors in recent months,” CNBC notes.

No mention is made, however, of the fact that the COVID jab has been linked to vaccine-acquired immunodeficiency (lowered immune function), rendering you more susceptible to infections and chronic diseases of all kinds, including autoimmune diseases.29 MIT research scientist Stephanie Seneff explains the mechanisms for this in “COVID Vaccines and Neurodegenerative Disease.”

The COVID jab has also been shown to activate latent viruses, including hepatitis C,30 cytomegalovirus,31 varicella-zoster32 and herpes viruses.33 Not surprisingly, Moderna is now working on a new vaccine for “latent cytomegalovirus prevention.”34

This is yet another case of a drug company creating a “remedy” against a health problem their own product was responsible for creating in the first place. CNBC, meanwhile, cites “health experts” who attribute lowered immunity to COVID lockdowns, mask wearing and missed childhood vaccinations.35

Amputations of arms, legs, fingers and toes — consequences of post-jab blood clots — are also being written off as something else.36 In this case, media are blaming it on high cholesterol,37 totally ignoring the fact that high cholesterol has been prevalent for decades, and only now are people losing their extremities in shocking numbers.

Spikes in blood clots and strokes, meanwhile, are being blamed on smoking, pregnancy and contraceptives,38 even though blood clots and strokes are among the most common side effects of the COVID jab. Most ridiculous of all, however, is the claim that a “newly-discovered, highly reactive” chemical in the earth’s atmosphere is suspected of triggering heart disease.39

To anyone with half a brain, it’s clear that government authorities and media are doing everything they can to shift blame away from what is the most obvious culprit, namely the COVID shots.

All the diseases and conditions they’re now blaming on everything from cholesterol to mysterious atmospheric chemicals are known side effects of the jab. The elephant in the room is so gigantic, you can’t even get around it anymore. It’s pressing us against the walls.

Nursing Reports From the Frontlines
In his June 13, 2022, Substack article,40 Kory also shares insider information from a senior ICU and ER nurse who suffered blood clotting injuries, spontaneous unstoppable bleeding and cervical lymph node enlargement following her second Pfizer dose.

She filed a report with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which has since vanished. The batch numbers for the shots she received were associated with bad neurological responses and clotting. She also lost her hematologist-oncologist to vaccine injury.

While only in his early 40s, he’s now too injured to practice. “He was a ‘true believer’ and in denial until it was him who was the injured patient,” she told Kory.

The major cancer hospital where she works now have caseloads “in the thousands,” she says, whereas before the average caseload was between 250 and 400 in any given quarter. They don’t even have enough beds or infusion space to treat them all, and radiation treatments are backlogged.

All kinds of cancers are showing up — brain, lymph, stomach, pancreas, blood and even EYE cancers, “especially in younger people recently vaxxed.” Strokes are also “way up” in people with no risk factors or comorbidities. In an email to Kory, she wrote:41

“Ask me anything. I'll tell you inside scoop from the floors and suites. This has to stop. They need to admit the fraud and crime and STOP. The liability must be lifted, mandates ended. They KNOW NOW and many KNEW THEN.

Don't know if you'll even read this, but I follow all of you on substack and Twitter — those not banned yet! — and read ALL the data. I've been a lab rat myself from an issue from a car accident years back — I know the process. So much fraud.”

In a follow-up email, the unnamed nurse continued:

“Lost 4 practitioners to serious side effects of ‘strongly encouraged’ boosters. 2 hospitalized, one in MICU ... All in early 30s to mid-40s. They had no need for boosters ... All had COVID previous, N antibodies fully measurable.”

Cardiac Anomalies Abound
Her colleagues in the cardiac unit also report “many anomalies ... that never existed before,” including massive thrombi that fill the entire artery. Some embalmers have documented this never-before-seen phenomenon.42 They also can barely keep up with the unprecedented number of cardiac arrests. Kory writes:43

“She told me ... that on some night shifts, nurse teams are seeing more cardiac arrests in a single shift than ever before and in unprecedented younger age patients.

On some shifts, they have had so many that the ‘crash carts’ are rolled straight from one arrest to another because pharmacy, especially on night shifts, are not able to re-stock fast enough. This situation has happened maybe once in my whole career, when two arrests happened on the same floor or unit within a short time period.”

And, while medical staff still are not speaking out publicly, the reality of the situation appears to be dawning inside the hospital walls, in private conversations between staff. Even there, however, nurses speak in code for fear of reprisal, referring to COVID jab injuries only as “that issue.”

The nurse pointed out that, now, the vaccination status is clearly marked at the top of the first screen of the patient’s medical record when the shot is suspected or known to be related to the patient’s “mysterious” or “complex” problem. Perhaps this is a sign that the dissociation from reality may be slowly breaking. I sure hope so."

SADS, yes they are promoting this as being a normal part of our lives - completely poker faced, no critical evaluation is provided.
One of the truly brave, principled personalities I have noticed in all of this has been Matt Letissier the amazingly talented soccer player of the U.K,
he was recently sacked from his very successful career for Sky Sports as a commentator/analyst. I know there are many brave, principled people out there, but Matt
is a very mainstream bloke, someone who would influence many viewers because of his stature and merit-based position in sporting culture. Matt deserves our support,
luckily his career has not suffered unduly, he is able to make a good living still; so many have lost their means of income, truly tragic.

(I have no talent for understanding detailed medical papers like this one, but it seems like an important work, showing how and why natural immunity works, while vaccines don't. Many hyper links embedded in the article not shown here in the copy.)

There is a phenomenon in immunology known as “original antigenic sin” that studies have now confirmed to be a real problem with COVID‑19 vaccines.

In brief, what can happen is that an initial viral infection or vaccination can result in an individual’s immune system becoming fixated on generating responses to the original antigen even during subsequent infection with different strains characterized by different epitopes, or molecular structures capable of being recognized and responded to by the immune system. Thus, the immune response to a new strain can result in an inferior immune response in immunologically experienced people relative to the immune response induced by the new strain in immunologically naïve individuals.

Other terms that are sometimes used to describe this phenomenon include “viral interference”, “immune interference”, “antigenic fixation”, and “immune imprinting”.

Of course, the imprinting of an immune response to a virus is not in itself a bad thing. On the contrary, the induction of immunological “memory” to a virus is what provides long-term protection. It is only when a previously primed immune system fails to adequately adapt its responses to a newly infecting strain that the effect can be detrimental.

It is also not necessarily a question of whether original antigenic sin occurs or not; the more relevant question might be to what degree it occurs. For example, it has been observed with both natural immunity to influenza and with flu shots, but since infection induces a broader repertoire of immune responses than vaccination, natural immunity still represents an opportunity cost of vaccination.

In other words, priming the immune system by vaccination comes at the cost of the lost opportunity to prime the immune system by infection, resulting in a fixation of the immune response to subsequent infections with mutated strains that is suboptimal relative to superior natural immunity.

In fact, original antigenic sin has been hypothesized as a mechanism that could explain observations of an increased risk of illness due to the 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) virus, also known as the “swine flu”, among individuals who received the seasonal flu shot.[1]

Policymakers eager to get jabs into arms perpetually fail to consider natural immunity as an opportunity cost of vaccination. I have long been warning that if original antigenic sin turns out to be a problem with COVID‑19 vaccines, the policy aim of achieving a high vaccination rate could result in a prolonging of the pandemic and worsening of mortality outcomes in the long run.[2]

For instance, three months before the first COVID‑19 vaccine received emergency use authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the UN published a written statement to the UN Human Rights Council that I authored on behalf of the non-governmental organization Planetary Association for Clean Energy, Inc. (PACE). Published on September 14, 2020, as General Assembly document A/HRC/45/NGO/43, the document included the following warning about the potential risks of forcing COVID‑19 vaccines on the population:

There are many legitimate concerns about vaccines in addition to their non-specific effects. Policymakers do not consider the opportunity costs of vaccination, such as the superiority of immunity acquired naturally compared to that conferred by vaccination.For example, studies have found that having a flu shot annually could increase the risk of infection with novel influenza strains, as well as with non-influenza viruses, in part due to the lost opportunity to acquire the cross-protective, cell-mediated immunity conferred by infection.

A complementary hypothesis is the phenomenon of “original antigenic sin”, whereby the first experience of the immune system with an antigen determines future responses. Priming the immune system with antigen components of the influenza vaccine could potentially cause a mismatched antibody response to strains that the vaccine is not designed to protect against, thereby increasing the risk of infection as compared to an immune response in which naive T and B cells are instructed to fight off the infecting virus.

This phenomenon might help explain an increased risk of serious dengue infection among Filipino children who received the dengue vaccine and who had not already experienced a prior infection. This finding led the Philippines to the withdrawal of the vaccine, which the government had implemented into its childhood schedule upon the recommendation of WHO, despite earlier data having indicated that the vaccine might cause precisely that outcome.[3]

Unsurprisingly, the phenomenon of original antigenic sin has received scant attention in the mainstream media, which generally do policy advocacy rather than journalism when it comes to the topic of vaccines.

A rare early exception was an article in The Conversation on March 8, 2021, written by Matthew Woodruff, an instructor at the Lowance Center for Human Immunology at Emory University whose research is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The current COVID‑19 vaccines are designed to elicit an immune response to the spike protein of the original Wuhan strain of SARS‑CoV‑2 (the coronavirus that causes COVID‑19), which is no longer circulating. Woodruff anticipated that attempts to update the vaccines to generate antibodies specific to newer variants of SARS‑CoV‑2 might fail due to original antigenic sin.[4]

Woodruff’s cautionary remarks, like my own, have proven prescient.

Indeed, it has been demonstrated that a booster dose of an mRNA vaccine modified to express the spike protein of the Beta variant still results in generation of neutralizing antibodies more specific to the original Wuhan strain than to the Beta variant. As the authors of a study published in the journal Cell on January 24, 2022, pointed out, this suggests that “some degree of immune imprinting, or preferential responses to the viral variants initially encountered by the immune system, may affect the development of antibodies against new viral variants.”[5]

Similarly, a study comparing the antibody response in macaques from either the Moderna mRNA COVID‑19 vaccine or an updated vaccine designed to induce antibodies specific to the Omicron variant of SARS‑CoV‑2 found no protective advantage of the Omicron-matched vaccine compared to the vaccine designed to induce antibodies to the ancestral Wuhan strain, which is now extinct outside of laboratories.[6]

These findings help to explain why, despite the acknowledgment that the vaccines are much less effective against Omicron, and despite early promises from “public health” officials that the mRNA vaccines could be easily updated to match new variants, there remains no Omicron-specific vaccine.

Since very early into the mass vaccination campaign, there were indications in the scientific literature that original antigenic sin would turn out to be a major obstacle for policymakers intent on getting the population to accept COVID‑19 vaccines. Several recent studies have now confirmed that this is a real problem, with startling implications for the long-term protection of vaccinated individuals.

Scientists Have Known about “Original Antigenic Sin” for Over Half a Century
The first mention of “original antigenic sin” in the medical literature, to my knowledge, was in a paper discussing immunity to influenza titled “On the Doctrine of Original Antigenic Sin”, which was published in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society in 1960. The paper provides a helpful explanation of the phenomenon that is worth reviewing.

First, it is important to understand that an “antigen” is a substance that induces an immune response, and an “antibody” is “a serum protein whose production is stimulated by antigen.” With that understood, the paper observed:

The antibody of childhood is largely a response to the dominant antigen of the virus causing the first Type A influenza infection of the lifetime. As the group grows older and subsequent infections take place, antibodies to additional families of the virus are acquired. But the striking feature is that the antibody which is first established continues to characterize that cohort of the population throughout its life. The antibody forming mechanisms have been highly conditioned by the first stimulus, so that later infections with strains of the same type successively enhance the original antibody to maintain it at the highest level at all times in that age group. The imprint established by the original virus infection governs the antibody response thereafter. This we have called the doctrine of original antigenic sin.

The effect is attributed not merely to continuation of initial antibody levels but to repeated stimulation by persistence of the first dominant antigen as a lesser or secondary component of later Type A strains.[7]

It stands to reason also that the effect may be exacerbated by repeated stimulation from vaccination. If an individual’s first antigenic exposure was either infection with the ancestral strain of SARS‑CoV‑2 or a COVID‑19 vaccine designed to induce antibodies specific to the spike protein of the ancestral strain, and then if the person experiences repeated immunological stimulation with subsequent doses of the vaccine, the anticipated effect would be to more strongly fixate the immune response on the ancestral strain at the opportunity cost of generating a more appropriate immune response to subsequently circulating variants, such as the now-predominant Omicron variants.

The relevant data available to date are consistent with this hypothesis.

The Role of Pre-Existing Immunity to Common Cold Coronaviruses
One observation made early during the COVID‑19 pandemic was that immune responses induced by prior infection with common human coronaviruses that are a cause of the common cold are cross-reactive with SARS‑CoV‑2. An enlightening study published in Nature in November 2021 found that certain individuals who never developed symptoms and never generated a detectable antibody response to SARS‑CoV‑2 nevertheless experienced an “abortive” infection wherein pre-existing T cells induced by prior infection with common cold coronaviruses cross-reacted with SARS‑CoV‑2 and appeared to be sufficient to limit and clear the infection.[8]

Pre-existing immunity from common colds has also been proposed as one of the reasons why children are at such low risk from SARS‑CoV‑2 infection, whereas pre-existing immune responses might contribute to severe disease in the context of “a dysregulated immune response”, as observed more often in elderly people.[9]

Consistent with this idea, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation in September 2021 found cases of severe COVID‑19 to be associated with a boost in pre-existing cross-reactive antibodies that poorly neutralized SARS‑CoV‑2.[10]

A study published in Cell Host & Microbe in December 2021 observed that most people have pre-existing antibodies from prior common coronavirus infections and that antibody responses to SARS‑CoV‑2 infection and COVID‑19 vaccination are consistent with a cross-reactive memory response, which could either be beneficial or detrimental.

As noted by the authors, “Imprinting can hinder immunity to a novel virus if pre-existing antibodies against conserved epitopes dominate the immune response but do not neutralize the novel virus.” The pre-existing memory B cells, which are involved in the production of antibodies, “can outcompete B cells specific for novel epitopes and hinder immunity to the novel virus.”

Pre-existing immunity from common colds has also been proposed as one of the reasons why children are at such low risk from SARS‑CoV‑2 infection.
Children tend to be more exposed to common cold coronaviruses than adults, but the immune response of children is biased toward production of IgM antibodies and consistent with “a more adaptable repertoire, which may explain why younger individuals exhibit less disease severity than older individuals.”

Relevantly, the authors noted that cross-reactive antibody responses “showed strikingly distinct patterns in infected versus vaccinated individuals”, and since “the vaccine does not induce a robust IgM response in most individuals, it is currently not known whether IgM antibody levels after vaccination impact vaccine efficacy.”[11]

As noted in a commentary reviewing that study’s findings in JAMA (the primary journal of the American Medical Association), “it will be important to test whether immunity to the vaccine strain negatively influences protection from variants like Omicron that are substantially different.”[12]

The Accumulating Evidence of “Original Antigenic Sin” with COVID‑19 Vaccines
The phenomenon of original antigenic sin has relevance for serological testing intended to determine the prevalence of SARS‑CoV‑2 infection in the population. Because the vaccines are designed to provoke an immune response only to the spike (S) protein of the ancestral strain of SARS‑CoV‑2, the scientific community has turned to antibody tests designed to detect antibodies to the nucleocapsid (N) protein in order to determine whether an individual has experienced a prior infection with the virus.

This is a fairly reliable method of determining whether unvaccinated individuals have previously been infected with SARS‑CoV‑2 since most people who survive infection do produce anti‑N as well as anti‑S antibodies (although the former antibodies tend to wane faster than the latter to undetectable levels, resulting in underestimation of prevalence).

However, anti‑N assays have proven to be unreliable when it comes to determining prior infection in vaccinated individuals.

One of the earliest observations of this problem was a letter to the editor published in the Journal of Infection on August 9, 2021, in which researchers from Ireland observed that individuals who had experienced “breakthrough” infection after vaccination appeared to have an impaired ability to generate anti‑N antibodies.

The letter authors reported their finding that only 26 percent of vaccinated individuals had detectable anti‑N antibodies compared to 82 percent of individuals with naturally acquired immunity. They suggested that this might be explained by early virus neutralization at the mucosal surface of the respiratory tract playing a key role in generation of anti‑N antibodies, which was a reasonable hypothesis since the COVID‑19 vaccines were not designed to induce mucosal immunity.[13]

This design limitation was usefully explained in a review of COVID‑19 vaccines then under development published in Nature on September 23, 2020, three months before the FDA’s first emergency use authorization. As the review author observed:

[I]t is important to note that natural infection induces both mucosal antibody responses (secretary immunoglobulin A (IgA)) and systemic antibody responses (IgG). The upper respiratory tract is thought to be mainly protected by secretory IgA, whereas the lower respiratory tract is thought to be mainly protected by IgG. Vaccines that are administered intramuscularly or intradermally induce mainly IgG, and no secretory IgA. It is therefore possible that most vaccines currently in development induce disease-preventing or disease-attenuating immunity, but not necessarily sterilizing immunity.[14]

In other words, the vaccines might be expected to moderate disease symptoms but would not be expected to prevent infection and transmission of the virus.

(“Sterilizing” immunity refers to protection against infection due to antibodies effectively neutralizing the virus before it has a chance to enter and replicate inside of host cells. Once the virus has gained access to the cells, the immune system has other mechanisms of limiting and clearing the infection.)

This expected inability to prevent infection and transmission, of course, has proven to be the case, with “public health” officials having acknowledged even before the emergence of the Omicron variant that the sterilizing immunity induced by the vaccines is short-lived.

“It is therefore possible that most vaccines currently in development induce disease-preventing or disease-attenuating immunity, but not necessarily sterilizing immunity.”
On October 26, 2021, a study by researchers from Public Health England was published on the preprint server medRxiv similarly finding a lower rate of seroconversion of anti-nucleocapsid antibodies among vaccinated individuals, suggesting that the use of anti‑N assays in seroprevalence studies was “likely to underestimate the proportion of the population who have experienced COVID‑19 in the highly-vaccinated UK population, particularly following the Alpha-variant wave or in younger populations who often experience mild infections, as well as due to waning.”[15]

In addition to a blunted antibody response against the nucleocapsid protein, people whose immune systems are primed by vaccination appear to have impaired cellular immunity relative to those with natural immunity.

A study by researchers in Norway published at medRxiv on January 13 of this year observed that vaccinated people with breakthrough infection produced a lower level of T cells specific to the virus’s membrane and nucleocapsid proteins than seen in people with naturally acquired immunity.

“The importance of T cells”, the authors emphasized, “has been underlined in previous reports as T cells are necessary for rapid and efficient resolution of COVID‑19, for protection against severe COVID‑19 in settings of low antibody levels, and for rapid viral control in the absence of antibodies—aborting infection in healthy individuals.”

In addition to a blunted antibody response against the nucleocapsid protein, people whose immune systems are primed by vaccination appear to have impaired cellular immunity relative to those with natural immunity.
In addition to the reduced ability to generate T cells against the virus, the authors observed a “relative lack of neutralizing antibodies” in Omicron breakthrough infections. It remained unknown, they pointed out, whether immune systems primed by vaccination and then challenged with Omicron would be able to adapt the antibody response to be more specific to this variant.[16]

While a breakthrough infection boosts the immune response to SARS‑CoV‑2 in vaccinated people, as would be expected with an increased number of antigenic exposures, the ability of boosted antibodies to neutralize the virus was only “moderate”, as described by the authors of a study published in Cell on January 19.[17]

Further evidence that antigenic sin might prove to be a problem with vaccination was provided by the aforementioned study published in Cell on January 24, which noted that immune imprinting appeared to be an obstacle to developing variant-specific COVID‑19 vaccines.

The authors noted that while, in immunologically naïve individuals, infection with a SARS‑CoV‑2 variant “elicits variant-specific antibodies”, “prior mRNA vaccination imprints serological responses toward” the original Wuhan strain of the virus “rather than variant antigens.”

Vaccination also generates an immune response biased toward production of IgG antibodies, with comparatively “weak IgM and IgA responses” toward the spike protein. “Unlike infection,” the authors commented, “which stimulates robust but short-lived IgM and IgA responses, vaccination shows a pronounced bias for IgG production even at early time points.”

“Correlates of immunological protection from SARS‑CoV‑2 infection following vaccination or prior infection are still under investigation”, the authors further noted. While they didn’t explicitly say so, this means that just because vaccinated people generate a high level of IgG antibodies that bind to the spike protein of variants—even higher than observed in naturally immune people—does not necessarily mean that vaccinated people have greater protection.[18]

(In fact, a consistent observation in the literature is that a higher level of IgG antibodies is associated with more severe COVID-19, which association exists independently from age, whereas people whose immune systems are highly effective at fighting the virus tend to produce a comparatively low level of antibodies.[19])

Additionally, with natural immunity, the binding of IgG antibodies to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of variants, which is the specific part of the protein that enables the virus to enter human cells, was observed to improve over time relative to binding to the ancestral strain, “suggesting evolution of the antibody response through at least 7 weeks post-onset of symptoms”; whereas variant binding ratios in vaccinated people “did not change from day 21 onward.” There was “improvement in variant recognitions over time in the infected patients”, but not so much in vaccinated people.

The study went further, testing the hypothesis that original antigenic sin occurs with vaccination:

To test whether prior exposure to one SARS‑CoV‑2 RBD variant causes imprinting of humoral immunity, we analyzed plasma from individuals vaccinated with Wuhan-Hu-1 [ancestral strain] antigens and subsequently infected with Alpha or Delta variants. Despite breakthrough infection with Alpha or Delta viral variants, the vaccinated individuals showed patterns of IgG binding to viral variant RBDs similar to those of individuals exposed to only Wuhan-Hu-1.

In other words, the study findings suggest that while the immune responses of people with natural immunity are adaptive, resulting in an “updated” antibody response over time that is more specific to a newly infecting variant, the immune system of vaccinated people has an impaired ability to do so and instead persists in generating antibodies specific to the extinct ancestral strain.

There was “improvement in variant recognitions over time in the infected patients”, but not so much in vaccinated people.
Oddly, the authors nevertheless speculated that “antibodies from infection may provide somewhat decreased protection against virus variants compared to comparable concentrations of antibodies stimulated by vaccination.”

That conclusion appears to ignore their observation that correlates of immunity have not yet been established as well as their finding of greater adaptability of the immune response in people with natural immunity, whereas “vaccine-derived imprinting affects subsequent antibody responses stimulated by vaccination as well as infection.”[20]

Importantly, it is also not what is observed in real world data on the effectiveness of vaccine-induced versus natural immunity. Studies have consistently demonstrated that superior protection is conferred by natural immunity. Even CDC researchers have since acknowledged this fact, despite the CDC having previously propagated the disinformation that “people get better protection by being fully vaccinated compared with having had COVID‑19.”[21]

A possible explanation for the inclusion of that obvious non sequitur fallacy in the Cell paper is the fact that the study was funded by the NIH and its subagency the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), under the directorship of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

“[V]accine-derived imprinting affects subsequent antibody responses stimulated by vaccination as well as infection.”
Tangentially, the study authors noted that—contrary to claims from faux “fact checkers” that the mRNA from the vaccines is rapidly eliminated from the body “within days”—vaccine mRNA was found to persist in some cases “for up to two months” following receipt of the second dose.[22]

Similarly, while the ridiculous “fact checkers” have insisted that the spike protein generated by the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is harmless and eliminated from the body “within days”, the study authors observed circulation of spike protein in the blood and persistence of abundant spike antigen in vaccinated individuals two months after receipt of the second dose.[23]

Additionally, numerous studies have shown that the spike protein by itself is pathogenic, which has been hypothesized as a potential mechanism explaining the association of COVID-19 vaccines with an increased risk of myocarditis.[24]

The occurrence of original antigenic sin in vaccinated people was further confirmed by a study whose lead author, Jasmin Quandt, is affiliated with BioNTech, the German company that partnered with Pfizer to produce the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 vaccine. The study, published on the preprint server bioRxiv on April 1, showed that Omicron infection in individuals whose immune system was primed by vaccination results in a boosting of antibodies capable of neutralizing the variant. However, this was not because their immune repertoire was adaptive and expanded to become more specific to the variant.

Instead, it was simply because the spike protein of Omicron, despite numerous mutations, is similar enough to the spike protein of the original Wuhan strain that vaccinees’ fixated immune response to the ancestral strain still managed to recognize the variant.

The authors observed “imprinting of the immune response by previous vaccination” so that Omicron breakthrough infection “primarily expands preformed memory B cells that recognize epitopes shared broadly by different variants, rather than inducing new B cells against strictly Omicron-specific epitopes.” In fact, in contrast to the boost in the memory B cell response “directed against epitopes shared by both Wuhan and Omicron BA.1 SARS‑CoV‑2 variants”, the researchers “could hardly detect only Omicron-RBD-specific” memory B cells.

Naturally, the authors spun their concerning finding of “possible imprinting of the immune response by previous vaccination” into a positive outcome, lauding the ability of vaccinated individuals to still generate immune responses against the Omicron variant.[25]

Federal regulators and “public health” officials are not unaware of the problem of original antigenic sin. Dr. Paul Offit, a member of the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), which has made recommendations for the FDA to authorize or approve COVID‑19 vaccines for various populations, wrote a commentary published in the New England Journal of Medicine on April 28 acknowledging this risk.

Astonishingly, Offit admitted that—contrary to how the vaccines were originally sold to the public—it was always “expected” that the protection against symptomatic infection would be short-lived. Studies by Pfizer, he noted, had shown that a booster dose could restore protection against mild illness, but “unfortunately, this protection did not persist for more than a few months.”

Even more remarkably, he acknowledged:

In addition, because boosters are not risk-free, we need to clarify which groups most benefit. For example, boys and men between 16 and 29 years of age are at increased risk for myocarditis caused by mRNA vaccines. And all age groups are at risk for the theoretical problem of an “original antigenic sin”—a decreased ability to respond to a new immunogen because the immune system has locked onto the original immunogen. An example of this phenomenon can be found in a study of nonhuman primates showing that boosting with an omicron-specific variant did not result in higher titers of omicron-specific neutralizing antibodies than did boosting with the ancestral strain. This potential problem could limit our ability to respond to a new variant.[26]

In another study funded by the NIH and NIAID, published at medRxiv on April 19, researchers reexamined data from the clinical trials for Moderna’s COVID‑19 vaccine and confirmed that people whose immune system is primed by the vaccine, which is narrowly focused on eliciting antibodies to the spike protein, have an impaired ability to generate antibodies to other parts of the virus. Whereas antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein were generated in 93 percent of people with lab-confirmed COVID‑19 in the placebo group, the anti‑N antibody seroconversion rate with breakthrough infections among the vaccinated was only 40 percent.

A potential explanation for this was that unvaccinated people experience a higher viral load than vaccinated individuals, resulting in a higher level of antibodies against the N protein. However, after taking this hypothesis into account, they found that “viral copies at the illness visit did not fully explain the large differences” in seropositivity between the vaccine and control groups. In fact, “for any given viral copy number, the odds of anti‑N seropositivity were 13.67 times higher for the placebo arm than the vaccine arm.”

The primary relevance the authors saw in this finding was that “Conclusions about the prevalence and incidence of SARS‑CoV‑2 infection in vaccinated persons based on anti-nucleocapsid antibody assays need to be weighed in the context of these results.” In other words, if studies use anti‑N assays to determine the rate of breakthrough infections among vaccinated individuals, they are likely to underestimate the rate of breakthrough infections.

They offered no comment about how their finding showed that evidence of original antigenic sin was always right there in the clinical trial data that the FDA used as the basis for its emergency use authorization and subsequent licensure of the Moderna vaccine.[27]

“And all age groups are at risk for the theoretical problem of an ‘original antigenic sin’—a decreased ability to respond to a new immunogen because the immune system has locked onto the original immunogen.”
The occurrence of original antigenic sin might help to explain the finding of another recent study that while a booster dose in individuals whose immune systems were primed by vaccination results in protection against the Omicron variant “beyond that afforded by the primary series”, which was “low” to begin with, no such benefit of a booster dose was found in individuals who had acquired natural immunity prior to getting vaccinated.[28]

That could be explained simply because the immunological imprinting from infection enables more broadly adaptive immune responses compared to the antigenic fixation that occurs with people whose imprinting is due to vaccination.

The medical establishment’s cognitive dissonance on this point is startling. To illustrate, we are being told that a reinfection is bad, an outcome to be avoided by getting vaccinated, while fully vaccinated and boosted individuals are being reassured that breakthrough infection is a good thing. The media have reported on studies’ findings that breakthrough infection serves as a natural booster by describing the outcome as “super immunity”.[29]

“We should think about breakthrough infections as essentially equivalent to another dose of vaccine,” immunologist John Wherry told WebMD.[30]

Never mind that we can anticipate from the evidence available to date that an asymptomatic or mild reinfection with Omicron among individuals who had previously acquired natural immunity from infection with another variant of SARS‑CoV‑2 will also serve as an even more effective natural booster. (The sustenance of immunity against disease due to reexposure to previously encountered pathogens is an important phenomenon that is sometimes referred to as “exogenous boosting” in the medical literature.[31])

One notable shortcoming among most studies examining the varying immune responses of individuals based on differing combinations of antigen exposures is failure to control for the time since the last exposure. Whether induced by infection or vaccination, immunity does wane over time, so the duration of potential waning is an important factor to consider.

“Importantly, the CDC study also showed no significant benefit of vaccination for those with pre-existing natural immunity when it came to protection against hospitalization.”
For example, a CDC study showing that natural immunity offered superior protection against the Delta variant compared to being fully vaccinated also claimed that the rate of COVID‑19 diagnosis was lowest among those who got vaccinated after recovering from infection (so-called “hybrid immunity”). However, this could simply be an artifactual finding resulting from the failure of CDC researchers to control for time since last antigen exposure rather than being a true effect of vaccination among those with prior infection. Essentially, by virtue of the study’s design, those who were also vaccinated would be more likely to have had a more recent antigen exposure (i.e., the vaccination).

Importantly, the CDC study also showed no significant benefit of vaccination for those with pre-existing natural immunity when it came to protection against hospitalization.[32]

https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/cdc-natural-immunity-3.jpg

Uniquely, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on May 25 took this into consideration and controlled for “time since the last immunity-conferring event”, with findings that once again indicate that the immune imprinting from vaccination impairs the immune response relative to the imprinting that results from infection.

Their results showed that natural immunity still offered significantly better protection even after a full year of potential waning than being fully vaccinated at only two to four months since receipt of the second dose. (The rate of confirmed infection among those with natural immunity was 30.2 [28.5–32.0] per 100,000 person-days at risk at twelve months or more since infection, compared to a rate of 88.9 [88.2–89.5] among the fully vaccinated at two to four months.)

Additionally, the study showed that among those with “hybrid” immunity, those whose immune systems were primed by infection (with subsequent vaccination) were significantly better protected than those whose immune systems were primed by vaccination (with subsequent breakthrough infection). (The rate was 11.6 [10.0–13.5] per 100,000 person days at risk among the former compared to 16.2 [14.0–18.5] among the latter, with no overlap in confidence intervals.)

Importantly, the supposed “super immunity” induced by breakthrough infection in fully vaccinated individuals was not significantly greater than natural immunity alone. At six to eight months since the last immunity-conferring event, which was the longest duration observed for vaccinated individuals, the respective case rates for those with natural immunity, those who got vaccinated after recovering from infection, and those who experienced infection after getting vaccinated had overlapping confidence intervals. (The rates, respectively, were 14.0 [13.3–14.8] per 100,000 person-days at risk, 11.6 [10.0–13.5], and 16.2 [14.0–18.5].)

https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nejm-natural-vs-vaccine-immunity-1.jpg

http://https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nejm-natural-vs-vaccine-immunity-2.jpg

Humorously, the study authors noted that their findings “did not appear to support” the CDC’s claim that vaccination provides greater protection than natural immunity, which might be due to the CDC’s failure to control for time since last antigen exposure (i.e., comparing the protectiveness of natural immunity after a year or more of potential waning with the protectiveness within just a few months since vaccination, prior to the dramatic waning of immunity observed in vaccinated people by six months out).

The authors chose not to highlight, however, the implication from their data that immunologic priming by vaccination appeared to impair the ability of vaccinated individuals to mount a protective immune response relative to those who were vaccinated after first having acquired natural immunity.[33]

The occurrence of original antigenic sin in vaccinated individuals was again demonstrated in a study published at bioRxiv on June 2 appropriately titled “Imprinted antibody responses against SARS‑CoV‑2 Omicron sublineages”. The authors observed an “immunological imprinting” whereby antibodies derived from plasma cells or memory B cells in vaccinated individuals with an Omicron breakthrough infection were characteristic of a response to the ancestral strain that happened to cross-react with Omicron variants, whereas antibodies in individuals whose acquired immunity came from primary infection with Omicron were specific to the infecting variant.

As the authors bluntly stated, “Omicron breakthrough infections failed to elicit BA.1- or BA.2 RBD-specific antibodies”, which findings “illustrate how immunological imprinting from prior exposure, i.e., ‘original antigenic sin’, can strongly affect the response to antigenically novel antigens.”

Whereas their findings indicated that, due to this immunologic imprinting, “an Omicron-based vaccine might only elicit narrow antibody responses directed towards the vaccine-matched antigen”, Omicron infection in people with pre-existing natural immunity “recalls cross-reactive memory B cells which may further mature over time to enhance their affinity and neutralizing potency against Omicron, but also to broaden their neutralizing activity against past and future variants.”[34]

The mainstream media, of course, naturally spin such findings into good news for vaccinated people—just as the failure of vaccines to protect against infection has been spun as inducing “super immunity”, whereas exogenous boosting among the unvaccinated with natural immunity, regardless of symptoms (or lack thereof), is characterized as a lamentable and indeed condemnable outcome, blamed on a failure of the individuals to adhere to “public health” officials’ recommendations to get vaccinated.

As an example of media spin that would be laughable were it not such a serious matter, Fortune magazine reported on the study by claiming it showed that unvaccinated people who had an Omicron infection “did not have a similarly robust and protective immune response” as vaccinated people with Omicron breakthrough infection—a curious interpretation indeed given the explicit acknowledgment that original antigenic sin is a problem for individuals whose immune systems are primed by vaccination, whereas those with a primary Omicron infection developed effective immune responses specific to the infecting variant, and whereas the immune responses of those with pre-existing immunity from a prior infection were capable of adaptation to the new variant.

The Cognitive Dissonance of the “Public Health” Establishment
Finally, another study published in Science just last week, on June 14, further confirmed that the phenomenon of original antigenic sin is relevant for cellular immunity as well as the antibody response of vaccinated people.

While sterilizing immunity depends on the ability of antibodies to neutralize the virus before it has a chance to infect cells, the authors noted that cellular immunity is critical for limiting and clearing infection and thereby protecting against severe COVID‑19. So, they set out to examine both B cell and T cell responses to Omicron breakthrough infection among triple-vaccinated individuals.

Studies had already demonstrated “that people at this stage in the pandemic carry heterogeneous, immune-imprinted repertoires derived from their distinctive histories of infection and vaccination”, so they further explored “how these differences manifest in differential, cross-recognition of B.1.1.529 (Omicron)” relative to other “variants of concern” and “the extent to which prior encounter with spike antigen through infection and vaccination shapes subsequent immunity” to the Omicron variant “through immune imprinting.”

In keeping with the spin that breakthrough infection induces “super immunity”, the authors remarked that it is possible that Omicron breakthrough infection “may confer a benign, live booster to vaccine immunity”—while omitting any mention that an Omicron infection in people who had previously recovered from infection with an earlier variant can also be generally expected to confer a benign boost to their natural immunity.

Importantly, while attempting to blame the occurrence of original antigenic sin on the immune response to infection, the study authors only examined the immune responses of triple-vaccinated individuals.

Looking at B cell immunity, they found that those who were infected early in the pandemic with the ancestral Wuhan strain showed “a significantly reduced” level of antibodies targeting the receptor binding domain of the respective spike proteins of Beta, Gamma, and Omicron variants, although cross-reactive antibodies against Omicron “were significantly reduced” compared to other variants “irrespective of previous SARS‑CoV‑2 infection history”, as were frequencies of memory B cells against Omicron after receipt of the third dose of vaccine.

Astonishingly, they found that “more than half”—54 percent—of triple-vaccinated individuals “made no T cell response” against the “S1” domain of the Omicron spike protein “irrespective of previous SARS‑CoV‑2 infection history”, which compares with only 8 percent who made no T cell response against the ancestral Wuhan strain.

Looking beyond the spike protein, they found that 42 percent of triple vaccinated people “make no T cell response at all” against mutated Omicron peptides distinguishing this variant from the ancestral strain. (A peptide is a chain of amino acids typically shorter than a protein, either of which can be an epitope, or a molecular region on the surface of an antigen capable of eliciting an immune response.)

Additionally, breakthrough infection with Omicron “produced potent cross-reactive antibody” against earlier variants, “but less so against B.1.1.529 (Omicron) itself.”

Triple vaccinated individuals without Omicron breakthrough infection, by contrast, made no neutralizing antibodies against Omicron by fourteen weeks after the third vaccine dose, “indicating rapid waning” of the neutralizing antibodies induced by the booster shot.

Similarly, fourteen weeks after the third dose, 90 percent of triple-vaccinated individuals with no prior history of infection “showed no cross-reactive T cell immunity” against the Omicron spike protein. None of those with a history of infection with the ancestral strain showed such immunity, indicating that three doses of vaccine were “unable to boost T cell immunity” against Omicron in these individuals.

The effect of original antigenic sin was observed to be greatest among those who were infected with the ancestral strain and then later got fully vaccinated and boosted. Whereas Omicron breakthrough infection was seen to boost binding and neutralizing antibody responses to the Omicron variant in triple vaccinated but previously uninfected individuals, this did not occur in those previously infected with the Wuhan strain.

The authors remarked that “Immune imprinting by prior Wuhan Hu-1 infection completely abrogated any enhanced nAb [neutralizing antibody] responses against B.1.1.529 (Omicron) and other VOC [variants of concern]”.

However, what they really meant is that immune imprinting by prior infection with the ancestral strain followed by three doses of COVID‑19 vaccine completely abrogated the antibody response against other variants.

“Importantly, while attempting to blame the occurrence of original antigenic sin on the immune response to infection, the study authors only examined the immune responses of triple-vaccinated individuals.”
Similarly, they commented that “immune imprinting from prior Wuhan Hu-1 infection resulted in absence of a T cell response” against the S1 domain of the Omicron spike protein, the true meaning of which, of course, is that this immune imprinting was the effect of infection plus three doses of a vaccine designed to elicit an immune response against the spike protein of the ancestral strain.

In another illustration of cognitive dissonance, the authors observed that “functional neutralization by vaccine-primed sera is considerably blunted” against the Omicron variant regardless of prior infection history, which they blamed the effect of immune imprinting from natural infection by stating, “That previous SARS‑CoV‑2 infection history can imprint such a profound, negative impact on subsequent protective immunity is an unexpected consequence of COVID‑19.”

Recall again the observation from over half a century ago that the effect of original antigenic sin is attributable not merely to the initial antigen exposure but also to “repeated stimulation” with the same antigen.

Shockingly, the study authors appear to have completely dismissed the possibility that it may have been the subsequent three-dose vaccination of these individuals that resulted in this immunologic fixation on the spike protein of a variant that is no longer circulating among the human population.

Their implicit claim that three vaccine doses did not exacerbate the problem of original antigenic sin in those with a prior history of infection with the ancestral strain is unsupportable by their data, which did not provide a comparison of the immune responses of unvaccinated individuals with a prior history of infection and who then became infected with Omicron.[35]

As already noted, other studies have indicated that, in most people, a history of prior infection, far from being associated with an impaired immune response to SARS‑CoV‑2, results in a robust immune repertoire characterized by well-coordinated cellular and humoral responses and induction of long-term immunologic memory capable of specific adaptation to newly emerging variants.

The study authors’ effort to avoid pointing out the elephant in the room—the fact that having received three doses of COVID‑19 vaccine would exacerbate the effect of original antigenic sin—is a remarkable testimony to the level of cognitive dissonance required to maintain faith in these pharmaceutical products as a universally necessary medical intervention.

Original Antigenic Sin Helps Explain Negative COVID‑19 Vaccine Effectiveness
The occurrence of original antigenic sin among vaccinated people helps to explain repeated observations of negative vaccine effectiveness over time, as the short-term protective effect of these pharmaceutical products wears off.

As I have previously reported, a study by researchers in Denmark published at medRxiv on December 23, 2021, found a statistically significant negative effectiveness against infection with the Omicron variant among fully vaccinated individuals. Vaccine effectiveness waned rapidly from about 55 percent during the first month to no significant effectiveness after just one month.

Moreover, three months after receipt of the second dose, effectiveness became significantly negative, meaning that fully vaccinated people were more likely than unvaccinated people to become infected with SARS‑CoV‑2.[36]

https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/negative-ve-omicron-denmark.jpg

The authors of the study attributed that finding to differences in behavior between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, which is somewhat plausible considering the policy discrimination against unvaccinated people during the study period. It may be that, while unvaccinated people were restricted from participation in society, vaccinated people were simply more likely to put themselves into situations where there was a high chance of exposure to the virus.

It is also plausible that the finding was at least in part due to the inferiority of vaccine-induced immunity relative to natural immunity and the occurrence of detrimental immune imprinting among the fully vaccinated. This latter interpretation is supported by data from other studies likewise showing negative vaccine effectiveness.

A study by researchers in Canada published at medRxiv on January 1 of this year similarly found that “receipt of 2 doses of COVID‑19 vaccines was not protective against Omicron at any point in time”. While a booster dose provided “some protection in the immediate term”, effectiveness peaked at only 37 percent—and it is known that the protective effect of booster shots wanes rapidly just as with the primary series.

Moreover, among the fully vaccinated and unboosted, statistically significant negative effectiveness was observed after just four months since receipt of the second dose.

https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/negative-ve-omicron-canada.jpg

While the authors of that study also proposed that this could be an artifact of differences in behavior between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, they acknowledged the possibility that their data was evidence that “antigenic imprinting” by vaccination had a detrimental long-term effect on immunity.[37]

While a booster shot might delay the negative consequences, as the head of the Biological Health Threats and Vaccines Strategy division of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Marco Caveleri, has warned, “While use of additional boosters can be part of contingency plans, repeated vaccinations within short intervals would not represent a sustainable long-term strategy.”

The EMA official further cautioned, “If we have a strategy in which we give boosters every four months approximately, we will end up potentially having problems with the immune response, and the immune response may end up not being as good as we would like it to be, so we should be careful in not overloading the immune system with repeated immunization.”[38]

A press release from the EMA on January 11 cited preliminary data provided by a UK Health Security Agency technical briefing indicating that a booster dose increased vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization to 90 percent (which was rounded up from the actual figure presented in the briefing of 88 percent).[39]

However, that was the observed effect at only two weeks since administration of the booster, and the same data showed that the effectiveness of the booster dose against symptomatic infection rapidly waned from around 70 percent within two to four weeks after third-dose administration to 45 percent after just two months.

Furthermore, the same dataset revealed that two doses of COVID‑19 vaccine resulted in significantly negative effectiveness against Omicron within six months.
[40]
http://https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/negative-ve-omicron-uk.jpg

As I reported earlier this month, studies have also been published showing negative COVID‑19 vaccine effectiveness in children.[41]

A study by researchers from the New York State Department of Health published at medRxiv on February 28 showed rapidly waning vaccine effectiveness against Omicron infection among children. Among adolescents aged twelve to seventeen, effectiveness dropped from 76 percent initially to under 50 percent after just five weeks since receipt of the second dose.

For children aged five to eleven, vaccine effectiveness dropped from 65 percent to just 12 percent after only one month, and thereafter the data indicated significantly negative effectiveness. Within six weeks of the second dose, vaccine effectiveness fell to negative 10 percent, and within seven weeks, it plummeted further to negative 41 percent.

https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/negative-ve-1.jpg

The authors asserted that there was nevertheless “sustained protection against severe disease” among adolescents. However, that description hardly seems appropriate considering the fact that their data showed vaccine effectiveness against severe disease falling from 94 percent to 73 percent after just two months. Vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization among younger children lost statistical significance within the same time frame.

The health department researchers relegated their comment about this observed negative effectiveness to a footnote, stating that estimates of negative effectiveness “likely reflect estimator instability and/or residual confounding, as opposed to true relatively-increased risk for those vaccinated.” However, this dismissal is irresponsibly speculative, and this finding could very well indicate a detrimental effect of COVID‑19 vaccines in children.[42]

The data from New York were also published in JAMA on May 13. Gone from this version were the corresponding estimates of vaccine effectiveness, but the reported incident rate ratios presented, which compare the rate of COVID‑19 cases among fully vaccinated children with unvaccinated children, still show negative vaccine effectiveness for children aged five to eleven within six weeks of receipt of the second dose. Within seven weeks, the negative effectiveness reached statistical significance.

https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/JAMA-negative-ve.jpg

Once again, the health department researchers demonstrated reckless disregard for the health of children by dismissing this finding as an artifact, bewilderingly concluding that their findings “support efforts to increase vaccination coverage in children and adolescents”.[43]

This is a useful illustration of how authors’ conclusions frequently are either unsupported or contradicted by their own data. It also illustrates the tendency of “public health” officials to succumb to confirmation bias, accepting data that supports their policy recommendations while willfully ignoring findings that do not, such as this data suggesting that by urging parents to vaccinate their children, they might be ultimately causing these children to be more susceptible to COVID‑19 throughout their lifetimes.

Another illustration of official confirmation bias comes from a separate study by CDC researchers also published in JAMA on May 13. Their data showed that vaccine effectiveness for children aged five to eleven years fell from 60 percent to 29 percent within two months, which was the extent of the observational follow-up for this age group.

Furthermore, the study showed negative vaccine effectiveness for children aged twelve to fifteen years by five months since receipt of the second dose.[44]

https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/negative-ve-2.jpg

Since February, data published on the CDC’s website has also shown a higher rate of COVID‑19 among vaccinated children aged five to eleven than among unvaccinated children. As of this writing, the latest reported figures are a rate of 137 COVID‑19 cases per 100,000 population among unvaccinated children compared to 194 cases per 100,000 population among those who are fully vaccinated.[45]

https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/cdc-case-rates.jpg

The CDC’s own data showing that the protection afforded by COVID‑19 vaccines in children rapidly wanes into negative vaccine effectiveness has naturally not prevented the agency from telling parents that they must get their children vaccinated—even though CDC data also indicates that at least 75 percent of children have already had SARS‑CoV‑2 infection, which means that those who weren’t already vaccinated before becoming infected have already acquired the superior protection afforded by natural immunity.

Incidentally, the authors of the study showing that most children have already been infected noted that their estimate was conservative in part “because infections after vaccination might result in lower anti-N titers”—evidence for original antigenic sin conveniently ignored by the CDC apart from its interpretive relevance for seroprevalence.[46]

Conclusion
The COVID‑19 vaccines were rushed through the developmental and regulatory processes with the pre-determined intent among policymakers to mass vaccinate the population. The clinical trials upon which emergency use authorization or licensure is based provided early evidence that the immunological phenomenon of “original antigenic sin” might be a problem with these pharmaceutical products, yet the “public health” establishment willfully blinded itself to this risk and has pushed these products on the population anyway, including now increasingly on children, who were already at very low risk of severe COVID‑19 to begin with and are at even lower risk now that most have already acquired immunity.

Consequently, by recommending parents to vaccinate their children without considering the opportunity cost, policymakers may be responsible for increasing the risk of COVID‑19 throughout their lifetimes. This is a reasonable conclusion to draw based on the data currently available, which consistently show that the vaccines offer only short-term protection, with waning of immunity to statistical insignificance and then to significantly negative effectiveness. We can also anticipate that booster shots will only delay rather than prevent this outcome.

Such observations of negative vaccine effectiveness are also being willfully ignored by public vaccine policy advocates, yet these observations are consistent with studies that have now demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that original antigenic sin is a real problem with these pharmaceutical products.

This also serves as another illustration of how public vaccine policy violates the right to informed consent. Logically, anyone unfamiliar with the term “original antigenic sin” is incapable of exercising truly informed consent when it comes to making a decision about whether or not to get vaccinated. While there have been rare acknowledgements of the risk of this phenomenon in the medical literature, such as by VRBPAC member Paul Offit, the risk has not been communicated to the public via statements from “public health” officials or reports in the mainstream media.

This speaks to intent. Rather than aiming to empower people with the knowledge they need to make a truly informed choice about whether to vaccinate themselves or their children, the “public health” establishment along with the media have chosen to engage in policy advocacy, aiming instead to persuade everyone to get vaccinated by exaggerating the benefits and downplaying or ignoring altogether the risks.

In short, what government officials and agencies like the CDC do is to issue endless propaganda, while the media advocate public vaccine policy rather than doing journalism. As always, what the government and media say science says about vaccines and what the science actually tells us are two completely different things. This is certainly no less true for COVID‑19 vaccines than for other vaccines recommended by the supposed “authorities” who are evidently more concerned with exercising power and control over the population and generating profits for the pharmaceutical industry than in ensuring good public health."

... people going bonkers: From Jim Stone:

This page is current as of October 30 2022 For the latest page, Click Here. (http://www.jimstone.is) Don't send emails, use this window.

DO NOT DONATE TO THIS WEB SITE (http://www.jimstone.is/1/.ti5.html)

Here is (finally) the real reason why

Five months ago claudia went crazy when her thyroid was removed and then two months later she destroyed the home. I spent two months sleeping under bridges. Then I broke my arm in a bike accident. It was a serious commuted fracture requiring surgery. all of you sent more than enough for that and Claudia spent it. I did not get the surgery despite saying I did to keep things looking normal. I am now trying to fix it myself and hopefully I will regain some use of it. I at least got the length and camber matched to the other arm and the fingers move somewhat but it is still flexible and won't ever be normal.

DO NOT DONATE

Any money you send will not go to the site or to fix my arm. I tried to keep the site looking like nothing was wrong, but it is time to stop doing that.

Yesterday claudia again got a way to destroy my devices and this time I am too weak to replace them. I will just have to try to continue from here without help. The site will be neglected, I have no other choice.

Don't make contact asking how you can help. Because anything you send will not go where you intended no matter what assurances you receive. Nothing lasts forever, including this site. I am surprised the biggest threat it has ever faced came from within. I could handle the technical threats but not this.
Here is what I suspect Jim suspects happened to Claudia down there in Mexico:

“Those of you who think the vaccine kills people can use me as a test. If I die, you were right. If I don’t die, and have no ill effects, you were wrong, and should admit it (at least to yourselves). Better yet, you should admit that you were misled, and tell the world who misled you, so other people can benefit by avoiding those fearmongers.”

I absolutely take no satisfaction in his death, but those words seem ironic. I do acknowledge that I have no certainty of why this healthy looking dude died but he was pretty sure of himself. Pretty confident that it would be the unvaxxed that would need to repent

Well, these are the grim realities of what really is a kind of all-out war.

And the Darwin Awards (the self-selected elimination of those who unintelligently put themselves in serious danger) do seem to apply here. Meaning, to put it bluntly and unsympathetically, many pro-vaxxers will simply die — very probably, if they've not received a placebo (i.e. saline solution), between now and the end of 2025.

At the end of the day, that is the truth. And we are witnessing it and it is by no means over.

When I went to a grocery store in town, they had a big sign out front. Ten percent of your entire grocery bill would be deducted if you got your flu and Covid vaccines at the pharmacy inside the store and there would be no charge for the vaccines. Now, I realize that some people have health insurance but surely they are not going to pay for ten percent of someones grocery bill. Is it the taxpayer who pay for the "free" shots and the grocery bill deduction? I know they want to keep everyone repeatedly taking these shots but these monetary incentives are odd.

I can only imagine what a stress that is to the body to get 2 shots in one day, particularly if your body is already struggling.

... people going bonkers: From Jim Stone:

This page is current as of October 30 2022 For the latest page, Click Here. (http://www.jimstone.is) Don't send emails, use this window.

DO NOT DONATE TO THIS WEB SITE (http://www.jimstone.is/1/.ti5.html)

Here is (finally) the real reason why

Five months ago claudia went crazy when her thyroid was removed and then two months later she destroyed the home. I spent two months sleeping under bridges. Then I broke my arm in a bike accident. It was a serious commuted fracture requiring surgery. all of you sent more than enough for that and Claudia spent it. I did not get the surgery despite saying I did to keep things looking normal. I am now trying to fix it myself and hopefully I will regain some use of it. I at least got the length and camber matched to the other arm and the fingers move somewhat but it is still flexible and won't ever be normal.

DO NOT DONATE

Any money you send will not go to the site or to fix my arm. I tried to keep the site looking like nothing was wrong, but it is time to stop doing that.

Yesterday claudia again got a way to destroy my devices and this time I am too weak to replace them. I will just have to try to continue from here without help. The site will be neglected, I have no other choice.

Don't make contact asking how you can help. Because anything you send will not go where you intended no matter what assurances you receive. Nothing lasts forever, including this site. I am surprised the biggest threat it has ever faced came from within. I could handle the technical threats but not this.
Here is what I suspect Jim suspects happened to Claudia down there in Mexico:

Thanks Ulli, not many of us can afford private nursing, sadly. Have left instructions and keys with my neighbour on what to do. Hopefully, not too unpleasant. Sadly, these things must be addressed, and have prepaid for my undertakers. Annoyingly, Ms Ostrich-head has left loads of paperwork, photos, extraneous clothing around. So, I MUST get rid soonest. Charity shops will greatly benefit. One of my bodycon Jean Paul Gaultier dresses is now worth £700, only worn once. A pathetic life lesson in vanity. Good riddance. Paperwork and shredder ahoy…!

This is exactly what I envisage if I am needing urgent healthcare in any UK hospital now, when they know I am unvaxxed, vindictive murdering poisoning jabs, so hopefully never needing to go to emergency healthcare. However, legally they have to admit these procedures, despite my wishes.
Despicable. Therefore, highly unlikely to go to any emergency and will probably die at home - ah well…. :facepalm:

This is added stress that a parent just doesn't need! I have older kids (young adults) still living at home. Just like many families have older kids at home due to the inflated costs of renting. Anyway, I am always urging them to experience new things - almost anything really to get them outside away from their computers. Dirt biking, trail riding, sports, canoeing, etc., but I am also very concerned about the possibility of them getting hurt and needing emergency care. (Through my life I have a huge medical file of x-rays, scans and a good handful of emergency bone and muscle repairs.)

Arghhh - keeping my fingers crossed as I urge them to do stuff - then lecture them on safety and caution. I must be driving them nuts! :)

When I went to a grocery store in town, they had a big sign out front. Ten percent of your entire grocery bill would be deducted if you got your flu and Covid vaccines at the pharmacy inside the store and there would be no charge for the vaccines.

I take it they're going to lose at least one customer?

It's not "Darwinian" when it's been a criminal sneaky plot by the sickest people on earth.

Rounding up the crooks before they did it wouldn't have been "Darwinian" either, but that artificial selection process would have been far healthier for humanity than their artificial selection process.

This might not be the right place to post but since Ulli suggested how to care for ourselves at home after we become ill ( with a knowledgeable nurse), I want to make a plea that we each WHILE able start working with our own innate healing ability. There are many teachers and many ways. IMO this WHOLE HELL OF A MESS could make what was once seen as airy fairy our everyday understanding. WE ARE ABLE TO HEAL ANYTHING FOR OURSELVES when we KNOW we can access Divine energy and new information.

I often invoke Joe Dispenza as one can actually see testimonies on his channel. They often give clues as to how people approached the seeming impossible. Here is one just because it is about a broken leg.

The Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator is the world’s most comprehensive end-to-end solution to ending the acute phase of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic. It brings together governments, health organizations, scientists, businesses, civil society, and philanthropists to accelerate the development, production, and equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines.

The ACT Accelerator is a framework for collaboration. It is not a decision-making body or a new organization. It was set up in response to a call from G20 Leaders in March 2020 and launched by the WHO, European Commission, France and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in April 2020.

2
What is the goal of the ACT-Accelerator?
The goal of the ACT Accelerator is to end the COVID-19 pandemic as quickly as possible by reducing COVID-19 mortality and severe disease through the accelerated development, equitable allocation, and scaled-up delivery of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics to reduce mortality and severe disease. This will accelerate the end of the health and economic crisis, restoring full societal and economic activity globally in the near term and facilitating high-level control of COVID-19 disease in the medium term.

3
Who are the partners?
The participating global health organizations are: the World Health Organization (WHO), the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), Unitaid, the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND), the Wellcome Trust, the World Bank Group and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

4
How is it organized?
The ACT Accelerator is co-convened by nine leading global health organizations. It is not a new legal or decision-making entity but has been set up as a support structure to enable the work of the delivery partners and facilitate cross-cutting knowledge sharing.

The ACT Accelerator comprises four pillars: Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Vaccines (also known as COVAX), with the Health Systems Connector pillar working across the other three. Each pillar is managed by 2-3 partner agencies. Additionally, WHO leads on the cross-cutting Access and Allocation workstream.

The Diagnostics pillar is co-led by FIND and the Global Fund, with involvement by WHO. It aims to rapidly identify game-changing new diagnostics, and bring 500 million affordable, high quality rapid diagnostic tests to market by mid-2021, for populations in low- and middle-income countries.
The Therapeutics pillar is led by Unitaid and the Wellcome Trust, with involvement by WHO. It seeks to develop, manufacture, procure and distribute 245 million treatments for populations in low-and middle-income countries within 12 months.
The Vaccines pillar – also known as COVAX – is led by CEPI, Gavi and WHO. Its role is to ensure that vaccines are developed as rapidly as possible and manufactured at the right volumes – without compromising on safety – and delivered to those that need them most. By early 2021, its goal is to secure 2 billion doses through the COVAX Facility, an actively managed portfolio of vaccine candidates across a broad range of technologies. All participating countries, regardless of income levels, will have equal access to these vaccines once they are developed. Read Gavi’s COVAX Facility governance explainer for more information.
The Health Systems connector pillar works across the other three pillars and is convened by the World Bank, Global Fund and WHO. It aims to strengthen the health systems and local community networks that are struggling to cope with COVID-19, and to unlock health system bottlenecks that might hamper the delivery and implementation of new and expanded COVID-19 tools. It also aims to ensure sufficient supplies of essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and medical oxygen in low- and middle-income countries to protect frontline workers and to enhance the capacity of health systems to save lives.
Access and allocation is led by WHO, which directs the ACT Accelerator’s work on global access and allocation and regulatory processes (including WHO prequalification).
The co-convenors of each pillar are fully accountable for making the investment case for that area. Grant management and financial reporting to donors is managed by the receiving entity. Formal governance for the pillars is provided by the Boards and governing bodies of the co-convened delivery partners.

WHO also hosts a support structure known as the ACT Accelerator Hub. The Hub ensures knowledge sharing across the pillars of the ACT Accelerator. It will consolidate a report on a regular basis against the work plans and the overall objectives.

The ACT Accelerator also has a Facilitation Council, whose primary function is to provide high-level advice and guidance to ACT Accelerator pillars, principals and partners, as well as global leadership and advocacy for the initiative.

Who will get access to the tools developed as part of the ACT Accelerator?

A key principle underpinning the ACT Accelerator is the need for equitable distribution of COVID-19 tools to those most who need them most, as upheld through the Access and Allocation workstream. The fair allocation mechanism for COVID-19 vaccines through the COVAX Facility is based on the idea that whether a person can access tests, treatment and a vaccine for COVID-19 should not be determined by where they live. Read our Q&A on vaccine access and allocation for more information.

What has been achieved so far?
As of November 19 2020, since the launch of the ACT Accelerator, the Diagnostics, Therapeutics, Vaccine the Health Systems Connector pillars have delivered the following:

The Diagnostics pillar has invested in innovation for faster, more accurate, affordable and easier-to-use tests, boosting manufacturing capabilities, and ensuring that tests are scalable. They’ve evaluated over 50 diagnostic tests, and on 28 September 2020, ACT Accelerator partners announced that they would make 120 million affordable, quality COVID-19 rapid tests available for low- and middle-income countries.
The Therapeutics pillar aims to find the most promising treatments for everyone across the world and ensure that the most marginalised communities can access the benefits too. It is analysing over 1,700 clinical trials for promising treatments and has secured dexamethasone for up to 2.9 million patients in low-income countries. It has also secured an agreement to help facilitate future access to monoclonal antibody therapies in low- and middle-income countries.
The Vaccines pillar – also known as COVAX – represents the largest and most varied portfolio of COVID-19 vaccines globally and which currently contains over 10 vaccine candidates. The pillar also launched the COVAX Facility for global procurement of vaccines, with over 180 countries engaged.
The Health Systems connector has surveyed over 100 countries to identify health system bottlenecks and capacity gaps and mapped the systems requirements for COVID-19 tool delivery in 4 out of the world’s 6 regions.
Published on 24 September 2020, the ACT Accelerator Status Report and Plan outlines the aspiration, achievements to date, and plan for the ACT Accelerator. It is complemented by two Investment Case documents, which provide an economic rationale for investing in the ACT Accelerator:

The first ACT Accelerator Investment Case was published in September 2020.
As the initiative moved into the scale-up phase, ACT Accelerator’s Urgent Priorities & Financing Requirements was published on 10 November 2020, reflecting the commitments to date, urgent needs, and what is required in 2021.

What is the ACT Accelerator Facilitation Council, and who are its members?

The ACT Accelerator Facilitation Council was formally launched during a virtual meeting of its Members on 10 September 2020, where they issued a statement on the ACT Accelerator. The second meeting held to review the initiative’s progress took place on 3 November 2020.

Its primary functions are to provide high-level advice and guidance to ACT Accelerator pillars, principals and partners, as well as global leadership and advocacy for the initiative. The Council has been carefully composed to ensure an appropriate and diverse representation of global leaders and partners, and includes ACT Accelerator members and donors, market shapers and regional cooperation groups. It is co-chaired by Norway and South Africa and hosted by the European Commission and WHO.

A full breakdown of its membership can be found in the official ACT Accelerator Facilitation Council Terms of Reference.

First Episode Psychosis Following COVID-19 Vaccination: a Case Report

Abstract

Vaccines are crucial to ending the COVID-19 pandemic. An mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine can cause mild to moderate side effects. A number of cases of cardiac, gastrointestinal, and psychiatric side effects have been reported as rare side effects associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. This article presents a patient, who after the second injection of the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine, immediately developed anxiety, nonspecific fear, and insomnia as the prodromal phase of psychosis. Starting from the second week, the patient manifested delusions of persecution, delusions of influence, thoughts insertion, and delusional behaviour, culminating in the suicide attempt. The duration of psychosis was eight weeks, and symptom reduction was observed only after the gradual administration of antipsychotics over four weeks. The investigations of the patient did not support any structural changes of the brain, any severe medical conditions, a neurological abnormality, a confusion or a state of unconsciousness or alterations in laboratory tests. Psychosis due to the use of alcohol or psychoactive substances was excluded. The psychological assessment of the patient demonstrated the endogenous type of thinking, and the patient had schizoid and paranoid personality traits strongly associated with schizophrenia. This case indicates a strong causal relationship between the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine injection and the onset of psychosis. We intend to follow up this case for possible development of schizophrenia and understand that the COVID-19 vaccine could possible play a trigger role in the development of primary psychosis. Longer-term supporting evidence is needed to estimate the prevalence of psychosis following vaccination with the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine.
