Suddenly & Unexpectedly

 Steve Connolly is hurting and angry from losing many friends since covid vaccines were deployed on the population under Operation Warp Speed (OWS), which is a joint operation between the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
 After I presented Death Certificate analyses to a crowd in a rural New Hampshire church in late 2022, Steve introduced himself to me. He was angry at the covid vaccine situation, but wanted to do something positive to prevent others from being harmed or killed.
 Steve searches for the words “suddenly” or “unexpectedly” in obituaries online on his phone. Then he screen-captures them and sends them to me via text message from time to time. I look up the Death Certificates and tell him the official causes of death.
 A week ago, Steve came up with a great idea. He found an online data tool embedded in a national obituary website, https://www.legacy.com . Steve utilized the website’s advanced search tool to filter obituaries for the keywords “suddenly” and “unexpectedly.” He then filtered by date range and U.S. state.
 I created a multi-user spreadsheet and gave Steve access. He populated the sheet with the number of instances of “suddenly” or “unexpectedly” for every U.S. state and for the years 2015 through August 21, 2023.

 METHOD
 Go to https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/search .

 Click <Publish Date>. Then click <Custom Range>. Enter “01/2015” in the <From> field and “01/2016” in the <To> field. Then click <Apply Filters>. This picks up records from 01/01/2015 to 01/01/2016 with an overlap of one day each year. Repeat this for each year.

 Click <Location> then <All Countries>. Select <United States of America> from the pull-down. For each state, select the <Select a Region> pull-down. Then select a state from the list and click <Apply Filters>. Repeat this for the United States and each state.

 Click <Search Within Results>. Type “suddenly OR unexpectedly” into the field <Type keywords>. Click the plus sign in the blue circle on the right of the field. Leave this as the search criteria for each state and year.

 Figure 1 represents instances of “suddenly” or “unexpectedly” in obituaries for the fifty United States.

 The results are staggering and incontrovertible. Something is very wrong with public health beginning not in the covid year of 2020, but rather upon deployment of the transfecting gene therapy drug the government calls a “vaccine” in 2021.
 While there can be no attribution to a single cause of death, this is an alarming trend that cannot be unseen. What is causing such a rise? Is it fentanyl overdoses? Is it the use of a medicament in hospital? Could it possibly be the covid gene therapy drug deployed in the past two years?
 This is strong pragmatic evidence, corroborative of the insurance data highlighted by Ed Dowd, that there is a public health emergency manifesting in an astronomical increase in sudden fatalities since 2021 and it appears not to be covid per se . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) either does not know about this perceived issue of doubling of sudden or unexpected fatalities, or will not publicly acknowledge it. Be it incompetence or deliberate indifference, the logical conclusion is that the CDC is dangerous to our society.
 There is no epidemic in history that has acted how the CDC purports covid to have acted. EXHIBIT F in my lawsuit against the Governor, Public Health Commissioner, Chief Medical Examiner, and four individual medical examiners, Beaudoin v Baker et al (2022) , filed in U.S. District Ct., District of Massachusetts, proves government fraud and proves that government covid interventions are responsible for far more fatalities than covid per se .
 Steve saw my presentation and read my articles depicting analyses of nearly 500,000 un-redacted Massachusetts Death Certificate records. He knows that the symptom spectrum profile , age spectrum profile , and seasonality profile of excess deaths suddenly and starkly changed on a year boundary between 2020 and 2021. Data proves that excess deaths in 2020 were predominantly from respiratory causes, in people average age of 81-years-old, and were highly seasonal. In January 2021, suddenly and increasingly thereafter, excess deaths shifted to circulatory and blood causes, an average age of 65-years-old, and no seasonality. The symptom spectrum profile , age spectrum profile , and seasonality profile of excess deaths changed starkly on a year boundary precisely when covid vaccines were introduced. Diseases do not change how they kill, whom they kill, and when they kill suddenly on a year boundary.
 Before viewing individual state graphs, please read my interview with Steve, who is responsible for uncovering this important information anyone can visually understand.
 John (Me): You mentioned you were the health proxy for a friend who died. How old was he? What happened?
 Steve: Keith was 59. I knew in my gut there was something wrong with the vax. I was his health proxy. I tried to take care of him. But I didn’t have any knowledge at the time to push back against the doctors. The doctors lied and said Keith had cancer of the liver. No cancer was involved in his death certificate. You looked up his Death Certificate and told me.
 John: Is Keith why you started investigating?
 Steve: Yeah. That’s when I started looking at obituaries. I started seeing “died suddenly and unexpectedly” more and more often through 2021. [They said Keith] died from end-stage liver disease. Cirrhosis. [He was] sober 13 years. How the hell did cirrhosis kill him? It was the jab that ate his liver. Sixty days post jab he died. [He got it] at Walmart in Leominster. Dead. Incredible to die so quickly. Cirrhosis is a long, slow process. No way that was it. Horrible and agonizing to watch him die. He died July 15, 2021.
 John: You mentioned others from AA.
 Steve: Yeah. Almost every AA meeting has new people talking about all their relatives dying or having a stroke or another ailment like Guillain Barré or heart attack.
 After two tours in the U.S. Army, Steve struggled with alcohol addiction. He was sober 26 years, but had a relapse after a second tour in Iraq. After struggling for eight years, Steve has been sober since August 21, 2020. He couldn’t get treatment for blood in his urine from January 2020 until after August 2020. Steve was diagnosed with bladder cancer in October 2020, had surgery in November 2020, and has been fine since then.
 Before retiring, Steve’s civilian career was spent working as a case manager for the state, managing some of the most difficult mental health and substance abuse cases, and being an advocate for those who could not advocate for themselves. Steve’s caseload comprised the most severely disabled people in the system.
 Steve served our nation, which left him addicted and depressed. Our government was not done with him though. They then told him to wear a mask, stick a needle in his arm, and watch his friends start dying. Steve has the heart and zeal of a lion. He represents many of the voiceless Americans being culled by open border fentanyl, a re-broken veterans administration, and tyrannical government orders to take new-technology experimental transfecting gene therapy past the mucosal defenses of the lungs and deep into the body by entry into the deltoid muscle.
 Keith’s Death Certificate Cause A states, “END STAGE LIVER DISEASE” in “DAYS.” Cause B states, “CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER” in “MO.S.” There are no other causes or contributing conditions listed. The attending physician certified the death. There was no autopsy performed. Others in Steve’s circle of friends and acquaintances also died shortly after covid vaccination.
 Steve: Verne was in his seventies, relatively healthy and stable, coughing on a Sunday, dead on Monday. Very likely vaxed.
 Big Rob was in his thirties, a little obese, died from myocarditis. It took them months to get back an autopsy report. I’m absolutely positive he was vaxed.
 Ally was a heavy girl, otherwise healthy. She got the jab, then had serious gall bladder issues and had it removed. She was found dead when she didn’t show up for work. She was in her thirties. We’re still waiting for her autopsy report.
 Dr. Michael was a friend of my sponsor from AA. My sponsor wanted me to debate Dr. Michael about the vax. Dr. Michael and I were on the phone for 30 minutes. I was trying to explain it to him. He didn’t believe me. Two weeks later, he got the booster. He died from a heart attack a few days later. I think he was in his 60’s or 70’s.
 My friend Missy was 38-years-old and asthmatic. When she was covid positive [and admitted to the hospital], Missy complained that the hospital was pushing the covid protocols on her but refused to give her the inhaler she normally used. She died. Another guy I know from Iraq had issues breathing because of the burn pits over there. The FDA changed his inhaler. They took away his budesonide. Things that were helpful were being blocked by the FDA.
 Fitzy was a motorcycle rider. Found unresponsive in his apartment. Died a couple days later. Sepsis. Died in February 2023. Don’t know if he was jabbed. Suspect so.
 Fitzy’s Death Certificate states the following. He was 60-years-old and had a wife. Cause A states, “SEPTIC SHOCK” in “DAYS.” Cause B states, “ACUTE PANCREATITIS” in “DAYS.” Cause C states, “CHOLELITHIASIS” in “DAYS.” Part II Conditions Contributing states, “CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE, HYPERTENSION, HYPERLIPIDEMIA, ACUTE RENAL FAILURE DUE TO ACUTE TUBULAR NECROSIS, ACUTE LIVER FAILURE.” The “acute” tubular necrosis, renal failure, and liver failure in Part II are the most concerning. Why are they in Part II? Did a chronic issue really kill Fitzy? He had three organs acutely fail at once.
 Perhaps a physician can explain whether this is multi-organ failure. Perhaps a physician can also explain why Acute renal failure is at 200% of normal in Massachusetts totaling two thousand (2,000) excess deaths in the last two years. That’s a health emergency of epic proportions - a once in a century calamity in a single cause of death. And the same is happening in Minnesota by the Death Certificate data. A report will soon be released showing that there were more than 100,000 excess Acute renal failure involved deaths in the United States in 2021 and 2022. Yet we do not hear about it from the CDC - again, are they incompetent or deliberately indifferent?
 John: I’m sorry Steve. Are there others you want to mention?
 Steve: In all of my time, I’ve never seen this many people that I know dropping dead in this span of time. I’m telling you, John, I go to an AA meeting every day … and it’s uncanny, it’s unusual now that a medical event hasn’t befallen someone. I just point to my arm with my finger when it sounds like someone had an event. Scotty has got some of the most severe rheumatoid arthritis that followed a jab.
 John: That’s likely an autoimmune reaction from the vaccine. Many autoimmune reactions are happening. The HPV vax also does that.
 Steve: My friend Rob, [they] put him in an ICU for two weeks after the second jab. And I was shocked he took a third jab. He was in a freaking ICU for two weeks [from the second jab] and they still gave him a third jab. And they look at me like I’m the crazy one. It’s almost like we can’t save them from themselves; so we have to stop the people doing this. I can’t turn a blind eye to this. That’s why I’m doing this and that’s why I agreed to do this [the interview and data mining]. This can’t be allowed to stand. These people need to be held to account.
 John: Do you think this puts a stressor on you for your addiction?
 Steve: No. It puts a fire in my belly. I see their faces. I see their eyes. I knew these people.
 John: When does it end? When do you stop looking at obituaries and get some peace?
 Steve: When they stop trying to kill us. When I see people start being perp walked. Nuremberg 2 should happen. [It’s] coercion. Biden said, “Our patience is wearing thin.” I heard that [expletive] saying that as I walked through the waiting room at the hospital. Like [expletive] you. [I’m] not having it. It’s like you say, John, ‘Data transparency.’ [They’re] hiding information. No reason for ignoring this. It may not be the vaccine. But wouldn’t they want to know? That’s the real question.
 The laptop class may not know what they don’t see. Many Americans on the margins of physical or mental health who made it through covid unscathed were then culled from our society by something perfectly coincident with the covid transfecting gene therapy drug rollout. They died in excess from clotting, bleeding, stroke, myocarditis, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrhythmia, lymph and marrow cancers, blood cancers, and other causes of death known to be effects from the covid gene therapy injections. It’s all about the blood. Nearly one million Death Certificates from Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Vermont are the hard evidence proving these serious adverse effects.
 Regular people just want to live their lives without too much government control. Tyranny befalls them. They just take it at first. But for how long? God bless Steve, his family, and his circle of friends. Research papers are not needed to understand simple facts. Scientists are not the ones we should rely upon in an emergency. They study things forever. Instead, find men and women of action who are pragmatic problem solvers.
 Physicians over 50-years-old remember what it was like without the laptop on the wheely table. They think and they act. There is a generational war in medicine. The hubris of the young causes them to attack the licenses of the experienced elders because the elders think for themselves instead of abdicating to the central authority via the laptop god on the wheely table .
 Following are individual state graphs of died “suddenly” or “unexpectedly.” Steve mined the data. All doctors, biologists, and researchers pounding p-values and constructing confidence intervals should take note. Public opinion is the most important commodity in this fight for survival and freedom. The graphs herein lead to the conclusion that the CDC is dangerous to our society. Demand investigation, if not “by” the CDC, then “of” the CDC and by a Grand Jury.
 In Figure 2 , please view graphs for the eight most populous states in the United States. In all but two, there are nearly 100% increases in died “suddenly” or “unexpectedly.” Id est , they are about 200% of normal.

 Figure 2

 Figure 3 depicts more rural states with incredible increases up to 20x normal. Something is very wrong with the United States if “died suddenly” and “died unexpectedly” are appearing more than double the rate from the first year of covid (2020) to the year of covid transfecting gene therapy injections (2021).

 Figure 3

 Twenty-four (24) states should be enough to get the attention of people to demand investigation. Figure 4 is the last graph set in this article. The point has been made. Steve found a treasure trove of evidence that should wake up The People.
 “Died Suddenly” and “Died Unexpectedly” are not happening from covid. Something else is causing these to occur. And it’s not long covid or climate change.

 Figure 4

 Government CDC ambivalence or ineptitude is also known as criminal negligence. Inaction to investigate EXHIBIT F filed with Beaudoin v Baker et al (2022) , and to take Steve’s discovery here seriously, is criminal conduct in a pattern of activity at an enterprise level. Entities have taken control of the CDC and other government agencies. The CDC and FDA have veered from the mission of public health to the mission of pharmaceutical marketing, distribution, and deployment on The People.
 Demand data transparency. Demand Grand Jury investigations. Given the fraud and cover-up evinced in EXHIBIT F sworn to in U.S. District Court, these criminal government entities cannot be trusted to conduct their own investigation.
 Notice the 2023 red bars through August 21. Most look like they’ll be well above normal. Some are already past normal.
 Lastly, there is one possible reason for this that I can think of. What is the probability that https://www.legacy.com/ contracted to bring in far more newspapers’ obituaries on the year boundary between 2020 and 2021? If they did expand their reach, that would explain it. But 2X, or 200% of normal in most cases? 70X in one case? This is not plausible, though it is possible.
 Demand investigation. Demand data transparency.
 God Bless Steve and those like him who’ve lost so many friends in the wake of the Death Lottery gene therapy drug.

Summary: Steve’s Endeavor


New FOIA'ed Data Reveal NY Vaccine Clinics Called Ambulances To Be "On Standby"

Right before the recent Christmas holiday, I received a call from a friend and colleague named Louis Conte regarding a “contact” of his with knowledge of the inner workings of Emergency Medical Services in Westchester County, New York.
 Louis’s contact had been monitoring EMS dispatches in Westchester County and saw, subsequent to the jab rollout in early 2021, what he felt was a frightening number of calls from vaccine clinics or homes where general or specific “vaccine reactions” were cited as the cause of the need for an ambulance.
 Last year, the contact decided to submit a FOIL (Freedom of Information Law) request—similar to a FOIA—to the Westchester County EMS (and the adjoining Dutchess County EMS) asking for a record of all calls whose transcripts mentioned either the word “vaccine” or “Covid-19 vaccine” in 2021.
 Louis asked me to look at the documents. As difficult as it is at this point to further distress me with data on the toxicity and lethality of the mRNA platform, this dataset still managed to do this.
 Before I review the data, let’s review what we know about ambulance calls timed with the roll-out of the vaccination campaign, because this issue is NOT new.
 For instance, we already know from  ICAN and Aaron Siri’s FOIA request  of the CDC’s V-Safe data that  7.9% of all 10.1 million vaccine recipients reported requiring medical care  to treat a vaccine adverse effect. Of those requiring medical care, almost 11% (87,700 people) visited the emergency room or hospital. How many travelled for this high level of urgent /emergent care by ambulance is unknown, but historically, about  15% of ER patients arrive by ambulance , so this would come out to about 13,000 patients among a population of 10 million vaccinated.
 Further,  an article published in the journal  Nature  reported:
 There was an increase of more than 25% in the number of ambulance calls in response to cardiac arrests (CA) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS or “heart attacks”) for young people in the 16–39 age group during the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in Israel (January–May, 2021) compared with the same period of time in prior years (2019 and 2020).
 They also found a robust and statistically significant association between the weekly CA and ACS call counts  and the rates of 1st and 2nd vaccine doses administered  to this age group. Note they found  no observed statistically significant association  between  COVID-19 infection rates and the CA and ACS call counts .

 They report that their findings aligned with previous studies showing that increases in overall CA incidence were not always associated with higher COVID-19 infection rates at a population level, and that the stability of hospitalization rates related to myocardial infarction throughout the initial COVID-19 wave compared to pre-pandemic baselines in Israel.

 Their findings above also mirrored reports of increased emergency department visits with cardiovascular complaints during the vaccination rollout in Germany as well as  increased EMS calls for cardiac incidents in Scotland .

 In line with the above, anecdotal data from social media described the following:

 The import of the above data/anecdotes was further supported by new, massive demands for ambulances across the world, evidenced by this compilation of TV news and print reports of shortages, compiled in another favorite substack of mine by Marc Crispin Miller. Note that although some reports blame the issue on shortages of staff and ambulance parts, the vast majority also mention… increases in the number of calls for ambulances.
 And then there’s even more anecdotal data by someone who has earned my deep trust in regards to accuracy of events on the “inside of the system” (recall she is a nurse colleague of mine that works at a major academic medical center who I referred to as “My Spy On The Inside” [MSOTI] in my prior multi-part series of posts called “ Nursing Reports From the Front Lines of The Vaccine Catastrophe ”).
 During one of her shifts referring to the ambulance/emergency services issue:

 So, with the above publications and observations in mind, let’s review this new “data dump.” Maybe what it reveals is not as statistically damning as what the  New Zealand Whistleblower exposed  but you will see that it is equally, if not even more alarming. To me, the most shocking discovery I made when reviewing the documents, is that I found evidence of 5 different occasions where calls were made to Westchester County EMS dispatch to have ambulances “on standby”:

 Are you kidding me? Employees at vaccine clinics in Westchester County, as early as Feb 21, 2021, were calling EMS “to be on standby?” For “vaccine detail?” One caller informed EMS dispatch that they “will be administering vaccines to 220 people today?” Note they did that as early as February 21, 2021. That is how fast some front-line workers knew how dangerous the vaccines were.
 Also note how, on 5/20/21, two calls from the Mamaroneck High School clinic asked for ambulances to be on standby, the first call was made at 9:07 AM and a later one was made at 2:09 PM. For a “safe and effective” vaccine?
 Again, calls with requests of this nature were being made from clinics in New Rochelle, Sleepy Hollow, and two different ones in Mamaroneck? If I was living in Westchester County at the time, I damn well would have wanted to know these calls were being made (as an aside, I lived in that county from 2008-2015 and still have lots of friends with children there).
 My sense is that these calls were made by employees who were secretly, or at least, somewhat anonymously, trying to alert authorities as to how dangerous the vaccines were but without doing so in a way that would make them a target as an “anti-vaxxer” or cause them to lose their job. They were clearly smart enough to know the consequences of a more public call-out of vaccine toxicity. So instead, they called EMS to have them “on standby.” Although the attempt was well-intentioned, should they be absolved of responsibility for any subsequent injuries which occurred on their watch at that clinic? They were actively injecting people with an experimental vaccine… after calling EMS to have them “on standby”?
 After I shared this article with A Midwestern Doctor , he sent me this commentary:
 One of the biggest challenges people have had throughout the vaccine rollout has been coming to terms with the fact that so many people could have been complicit in letting a bad vaccine be pushed on the world (which hence leads many of them to believe the only possible explanation is that the vaccine was not in fact dangerous).
 Sadly, I’ve seen numerous tragic cases of the same thing that has happened in the past.  Much of this is explained by an effect in psychology known as the bystander effect :
 The bystander effect occurs when the presence of others discourages an individual from intervening in an emergency situation, against a bully, or during an assault or other crime. The greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is for any one of them to provide help to a person in distress . People are more likely to take action in a crisis when there are few or no other witnesses present.
 In turn, throughout my life, I’ve found that if something is happening I know is wrong and no one is speaking out about it (e.g., because its not politically correct to do so), I can reliably predict that if I don’t speak out against it, no one will.  So for this reason, I often “break” the bystander effect (once one person speaks out, others will often feel safe to do so as well) as I know otherwise it won’t happen.  Likewise, I’ve seen this same thing occur again and again within organizations, especially when people’s financial livelihoods are on the line for speaking out.
 One of the best illustrations of the point Kory is making here can be found within the data of vaccination deaths leaked by the brave New Zealand whistleblower Barry Young (who now faces a seven year prison sentence for his leaking).  Within that data, Young noticed that there were about a dozen vaccinating doctors and a dozen vaccination sites which had a very high rate of deaths in those they vaccinated.

 Barry, in turn, raised a very simple question—how could something like this happen?
 Sadly, as this summary of EMS calls shows, the bystander effect can be a very real thing, especially when everyone else in a large institution going along with something makes those who want to challenge it feel even more powerless to speak out.
 I believe the vaccine clinic employees who called EMS in Westchester should get some credit for, in my interpretation, trying to blow a whistle, but they did so too “softly.” Instead, as per the bystander effect, they simply hoped that “someone else,” i.e. EMS personnel or leadership would take note of these calls, and “do something” about them.
 Remember, May 2021 (the day of the two calls from Mamaroneck High School) was nearing the height of the global “psy-ops” propaganda campaign where the unvaccinated and/or the vaccine hesitant were demonized and attacked widely across all mainstream media and social media. Even those who already got the vaccine and were trying to share the horrible stuff happening to them were being attacked. Never, ever forget that occurred, and more importantly, never forget just how successful that propaganda was. So, while I get the clinic employee’s hesitation, I cannot forgive their ultimate behavior.
 Walking off the job would have been another option, but if there is anything I have learned in Covid and the immense, multi-faceted fraud that has occurred and keeps occurring, is that there were and are far too few real whistleblowers. The desire to remain employed is paramount to the concern for the welfare of others. Period.
 Anyway, these data points above are beyond shocking, even to me at this point in my research journey. If anyone has a different or more benign interpretation of these five EMS transcripts above than I do, I am all ears. If I find such an interpretation more compelling or corrective, I will do a follow-up post.
 Now, let’s review the rest of the transcripts from EMS dispatch. One set of data is from Westchester County EMS. First, know that Westchester County has a population of about 1 million, but these EMS calls do not include the City of Yonkers which has a population of about 200,000. So, for 800,000 people, the total EMS calls which specifically mentioned the vaccine as a cause of distress in 2021  was 165 calls. For Dutchess County, population of 295,000, the number of calls was an almost equally proportionate 55 calls.
 However, these 220 calls across these two counties likely represent a small subset of the severe, ambulance requiring vaccine reactions because sudden death was likely never reported as a vaccine reaction and many people calling ambulances may not have initially related their medical issue with the vaccine or, even if suspected, may not have mentioned it to dispatch - thus, this dataset represents only the most tightly “temporally associated” events, ones where it was more than 100% obvious the vaccine was causative, like when it happened within minutes or hours or 1-2 days of the vaccine being administered.
 What was the nature of these “reactions” which triggered calls for an ambulance? Well, from the transcript log posted at the end of this post, most simply say “reaction to Covid-19 vaccine” or “vaccine reaction” but there are also many disturbingly detailed reactions such as seizures, inability to ambulate, unresponsiveness, altered mental status, etc.
 I list the more specific and disturbing ones below (or you can also just read through the actual EMS transcripts that are at the end of this post):
 2-16-21 92 YO F abnormal breathing from 2nd covid-19 vaccine

 2-17-21 69 YO M unable to ambulate secondary to covid vaccine

 2-21-21 73 YO unable to ambulate, reaction to Covid-19 vaccine

 2-17-21 female reaction to vaccine - altered mental status (AMS)

 2-22-21 88 YO F low oxygen saturation, possible reaction to Covid vaccine

 3-10-21 unresponsive, reaction to vaccine

 3-19-21 fever and confusion post covid vaccine

 3-27-21 56 YO M cancer patient possible reaction to vaccine, altered mental status (AMS)

 3-27-21 2nd vaccine, sudden hypertension (HTN), back and abdominal pain

 4-2-21 46 YO M disoriented, recent covid vaccine

 3-24-21 56 YO F abnormal breathing from 2nd Covid vaccine

 6-18-21 12 YO F experiencing chest pain after 2nd vaccine

 7-11-21 13 YO F feeling weak, reaction to vaccine

 4-7-21 27 YO M possible seizure

 4-2-21 passed out/ reaction to Covid vaccine

 4-22-21 38 Y.O female not breathing secondary to recent vaccination

 4-32-21 50 YO F passing out/covid vaccine

 5-13-21 49 YO M labored breathing/reaction to recent vaccination

 5-19-21 89 YO M weak/speech problems

 5/24/21 27 YO F fell by pharmacy

 6-17-21 39 YO F difficulty breathing from 2nd vaccine

 8-31-21 31 YO difficulty breathing

 11-19-21 18 YO M anxiety attack, difficulty breathing from a covid vaccination

 46 YO F chest pain/labored breathing, body numbness/covid-19 vaccine booster yesterday

 11-19-21 18 YO F leg numbness

 12-21-21 46 YO F chest pain, labored breathing, body numbness - covid 19 booster

 86 YO F low 02, chest pain radiating to the left arm post 2nd covid vaccine shot

 4-11-21 50 YO M syncope (passing out)

 4-18-21 57 YO F severe edema (i.e swelling, water retention) possible reaction to vaccine

 5-22-21 16 YO reaction to vaccine shot, semi-responsive

 5-31-21 48 YO M reaction to the 2nd vaccine, difficulty breathing, right sided numbness

 6-2-21 passed out after receiving Covid vaccine

 6-2-21 29 YO F reaction to vaccine, unconscious

 6-18-21 12 YO F experiencing chest pain after 2nd vaccine

 9-24-21 44 YO M seizures after vaccine

 9-25-21 Male unconscious after getting covid vaccine

 11-6-21 5 YO M difficulty breathing post vaccine

 11-13-21 58 YO M reaction to covid vaccine, syncope and difficulty breathing

 11-3-21 81 YO M Unable to ambulate post vaccine

 12-8-21 syncope (passing out) post covid shot

 2-11-21 73 YO M, reaction to Covid vaccine, unable to ambulate

 4-21-21 reaction to vaccine AMS (altered mental status)

 Again, these were just a subset of the 220 calls in 2021 amongst a population of approximately 900,000. I am reasonably certain that there is no data to accurately estimate what a “safe”  ambulance call rate per number of vaccines administered  should be but that is also because I have never even heard of a threshold being established for a “safe”  ambulance call rate per number of vaccines administered .
 I would instead simply argue that the ambulance call rate per vaccination should be no more than one in a million or if I were generous in estimating its ability to protect people from severe disease, maybe even one per 100,000, but in reality should be zero.
 I say this because vaccines are not a treatment for someone suffering from an active disease, it is an intervention given to generally healthy, functional people to theoretically  protect them from becoming ill (i.e. I don’t think the dying need vaccines). An intervention which causes a generally healthy, functional person to need an ambulance directly contradicts any belief of utility or safety in this regard.
 These data, to me, are simply another outrageous Covid era example of the deplorable failure of a Public Health Agency to protect the population whose literal mission it is to protect. Obtaining the data by FOIA means that no one in Westchester EMS or Dutchess County EMS leadership acted in response to paramedics or EMTs reporting repeated calls for urgent medical attention to those recently vaccinated?
 Don’t you think that you, the average citizen, would have wanted to be informed if this was happening in your community? That vaccine clinics were asking for ambulances to be “on standby?” What other kinds of events request ambulances “on standby” or to be present? I have heard of having them on-site for judo tournaments, Evil Knievel stunts, American football games, (which require two on site), but never for an alleged preventative health measure.
 From the webpage of a company that provides ambulance coverage for sports events:

 So, apparently, vaccine clinic employees in Westchester quickly came to the perception that vaccinating people was more dangerous than a charity walk or fun run.
 Here is the thing though: to many of us who are deeply studied on the data showing immense toxicity and lethality of the mRNA vaccine platform, this changes nothing about what we already know. To those still in the “safe and effective” camp, I ask how you can explain away the above in a way that can somehow still support that position. Happy to read your comments.
 Finally, before we get to the EMS transcripts, for any of you who are as troubled by these data as I am, I suggest you FOIA the same from your local EMS service. I promise you that my colleagues and I are interested in studying this further.

UK Parliament Testimony Videos From MP Andrew Bridgen's Historic Meeting - Dr. Michael Yeadon and Dr. Peter McCullough

In Part 1 of this series , I provided an overview of the events and government actions leading up to, during, and after MP Andrew Bridgen’s historic meeting in the UK Parliament titled, “For Truth, Democracy, and Freedom.”
 In that post I detailed all the lame attempts by the UK government to disrupt the meeting, with their only success being that of preventing the viewing of Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Mike Yeadon’s testimonies. So here they are:

Summary: Three more powerful testimonies by dissident scientists pointing out the absurd and destructive policies of public health authorities across the world


Hit Jobs, Undercover Trolls, and Misplaced Hatred: Just Another Day in the Life of a Medical Freedom Clinic

A friend and colleague that I made on my Covid journey, Tanya Parus, is an absolute beast of an advocate for Medical Freedom. She is the President of Sarasota Moms for America and as the Medical Specialist for Moms for America National, she plays a pivotal role in advocating for the rights and well-being of mothers and families across the country. Tanya also owns and operates the local grassroots organization, Sarasota County Moms For America.
 In addition to her advocacy work, Tanya has made a significant impact on local healthcare governance in Sarasota by helping transform the Sarasota Memorial Hospital board through voter initiatives, ensuring that the voices of the community are heard and their concerns addressed.
 But get this, in addition to Tanya's fight against Sarasota Memoral governance, she also fought mask and then vaccine mandates, all while advocating for improving the governance of her local School board and government. With U.S civil society deteriorating the way it is, the U.S needs an army of 10,000 Tanya’s right now.
 I have worked with Tanya in trying to get Sarasota Memorial Hospital to allow me to give a “Grand Rounds” lecture to the residents and staff of Sarasota Memorial. This was supposed to have been one of the conciliatory offerings made by hospital leadership to the community after Tanya and other groups led loud and highly publicized protests against Sarasota Memorial protocols and policies in Covid (things like overusing remdesivir, overly restricting visitation, restricting use of repurposed drugs and vilifying both unvaccinated staff and patients. You know, standard U.S Hospital system policies…except this hospital was particularly vicious about it all.
 In this Blaze article , they include the following reports of various Sarasota Memorial physician leadership actions:
 Dr. Daniel B. Case reportedly asked an employee whether she would get vaccinated, to which the employee responded "no because that's my freedom of choice."
 His response?
 "You guys are the reason why people are dying and why COVID is spreading. When you guys get fired, then we'll all have a party and Darwinism will do its work. They should take you guys to the firing line."
 Dr. Case allegedly said the latter quote in response to being asked whether he is a fascist. Great answer Danny boy.
 It gets even more fascist if that is possible. Check this out, again from the Blaze article:
 A nurse at the hospital alleges that in 2021 the hospital made lists of unvaccinated staff, who were then subject to a “re-education session” led by other staff, which sought to convince them to get vaccinated.
 A letter was also sent to staff outlining that unvaccinated workers must "isolate during meal times," and a color-coded sticker system (!?) would be implemented on employee badges, but the sticker system was never implemented. (Ed: Wow. Just wow.
 Other staff members claimed that a Dr. Jonathan Hoffberger promotes a hostile work environment, with one physician stating that Hoffman, a cardiac surgeon, "yells at unvaccinated patients” and “refuses to perform open-heart surgery” on patients who haven't received an mRNA injection.
 Hoffberger had several social media posts criticizing those who wished to perform their "own research." (Ed: As Jimmy Dore has so brilliantly quipped, “Doing your own research used to be called… reading!)
 "STOP DOING 'YOUR OWN RESEARCH,'" a Facebook post reads, with an attached image promoting vaccination.
 "Myth: 'I've had COVID-19, so I don't need to be vaccinated because I have antibodies,'" the photo says. (Ed: This statement is not aging well Dr. Hoffberger).
 So, it should come as no surprise that community members like Tanya led an insurrection by getting awake (not woke) people elected to the Board of the Hospital. The members she helped newly elect put some pressure on hospital leadership to make some changes to appease the community, and again, they suggested they put commission a Grand Rounds lecture by a national Covid expert (me). Still hasn’t happened. But, in the event that a couple more awake Board members are added next election, I am assured of an invite then. We will see.
 Also know that Sarasota Memorial is the hospital that kicked out my dear friend and early treatment expert Dr. John Littel from a Board meeting after he testified about the effectiveness of ivermectin. They kicked him out because he unknowingly broke protocol by gently approaching a Board member to speak with them. Instead of quietly asking him to go back to his seat, they instead immediately called security who quickly escorted him out. This was the video of the incident followed by the hospital’s statement:

 The hospital’s official statement about the incident:
 “His behavior presented a safety risk and violated a clearly set rule of decorum for the public meeting. His actions occurred in the final minutes of the meeting, long after he and other attendees videotaping his demonstration had the chance to share their concerns during the public comment session of the board meeting,” said Savage.
 Know that John took time out of his work day to drive two hours to testify at the meeting about all the data supporting ivermectin’s effectiveness. John Littel’s “behavior represented a safety risk?” What a joke. John is one of the kindest and most committed physicians I know. All he did was gently walk up to a Board member to follow up on a statement/question they had made. Whatever.
 Now, lets get to the hit piece. In September of 2023, Tanya and her partners launched a brand-new medical facility called We The People Health and Wellness Center in Venice, FL, with its core mission and purpose being that of Medical and Health Freedom. She plans to open more locations in 2024 and empower more doctors and providers to embrace the freedom from government overreach.
 Note that supporting and leading both providers and patients to support the rapidly growing communities of independent clinics and patients seeking effective care by free-thinking doctors is also a big part of the FLCCC’s work in 2024, something we are launching at our 3 rd Annual Educational Conference  in Phoenix on Feb 2-4, 2024, titled “Healthcare Revolution: Restoring the Doctor-Patient Relationship.” Come one, come all my friends.
 We’re only going to change history (right?).
 However, the headwinds against our movement may be strong. Listen to this meessage left on their clinic voicemail by some random, irate citizen:

 So, people don’t seem to like Americans trying to advocate for freedom? Strange times indeed. For instance, our modern American media seems to not like the concept of freedom either. They “somehow” got wind of Tanya’s Medical Freedom clinic and presumably thought it might be newsworthy to discredit what Tanya and her partners were doing (I wonder if her efforts protesting the Sarasota Memorial Health System’s Covid policies had something to do with the media visit and coverage?). A little payback maybe? Maybe someone put in a call to get a media hit job done because she now competes with that “system?” You decide.
 To wit, when I asked Tanya what she thought about my “hypothesis”, she wrote back:

 I then looked up the Daily Beast Article. Check. Out. The. Best. Headline. Ever.

 By the way, I cannot describe how much I absolutely love the criteria for hire at the clinic. Brilliant, just brilliant. It’s actually a pretty high threshold to pass. If I didn’t live on the other side of Floria, I would consider applying given I lost 3 jobs due to my Covid “advocacy"so I am triply certified!
 Anyway, a reporter named Katie Lagrone at ABC News Tampa came to do an interview which she then turned into a hit piece on the clinic. You definitely have to watch it (only 5 minutes). Check it out:

 I learned of this after Tanya sent me her tweet in response to Lagrone’s ABC news segment right after it was broadcast:.

 Although the segment could have been more vicious, I was pissed off enough about it that I decided to retweet it as follows:

 One bright spot is that a PBS reporter did a segment where she discussed the “politicization” of public health and allowed both patients and a physician from the clinic to offer their perspectives and experiences (the physician was Dr. Renata Moon, a colleague I deeply admire and who I testified with at Senator Ron Johnson’s 2nd Opinion Panel ). Can check it out here:

 The worst thing about the ABC News Tampa segment is what happened at the clinic after the interview. I learned from Tanya that when the cameras were off, the reporter actually shared her sympathetic sentiments and fears such as not wanting to give her kids Covid-19 vaccines because of all the young people she knows are dying, how she now avoids even the flu shot, and, get this, she then high-fived Tanya and Renata as she left the clinic. A not-so-shocking but still brazen example of media hypocrisy.
 Not sure what else to add here given that at this point in the pandemic, it should be totally unsurprising that a journalist would present a destructive viewpoint for her corporate master yet hold an opposing one personally.
 Although that is the worst behavior one can evidence right now, I think those who remain silent about their opposition to corporate and governmental health tyranny should no longer be given a pass. No way. Continued silence and/or lack of opposing actions makes you complicit in the furtherance of this destructive tyranny by our corporate controlled government.
 I am thinking especially of the majority of my former colleagues still employed by the system, still too afraid to speak up for fear of losing their jobs even though many know of all the fraud by now, and of those who do, their silence and passivity makes them as complicit as the liars maintaining it.

We Published Another Op-Ed On Excess Deaths, This Time In A Major Center-Left Publication

All I can say is kudos to my writing partner, the investigative journalist Mary Beth Pfeiffer as she did most of the work as usual (follow her on Twitter here ). In the past few months, we published Op-Ed’s trying to call attention to the catastrophic rise in young Americans dying in two mainstream media outlets, USA Today and Newsweek .
 This Op-Ed is even more powerful and presents some of the scariest data on the degree to which Americans, especially young ones, are continuing to die in unprecedented numbers, despite booster uptake plummeting in the past year.
 For instance, in just the first 9 months of 2023, 158,000 more Americans have died than expected, what we call “excess deaths.” As we say in the Op-Ed, that exceeds the combined deaths from every war since Vietnam.
 So, with all of Washington D.C government staff reading the Hill every day, do you think we will see some congressional hearings on the topic, or maybe our Federal Health agencies actually start to study why? MP Andrew Bridgen was granted a hearing in the UK Parliament on excess deaths as the UK is also suffering from increased death rates of a similar magnitude. Note that his hearing was helpfully scheduled during the graveyard shift at 4:30 P.M on a Friday (all the MP’s were on their way home for the weekend). Apparently, someone in authority is not interested in the topic over there. Still, his speech was powerful, can watch it here on John Campbell’s YouTube channel, starts at 2:35. Anyway, our Op-Ed is below.

 Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf recently took to X to mourn the “ catastrophic ” decline in U.S. life expectancy.
 But his post, which hit on smoking, diet, chronic illness and health care, ignored the obvious: People are dying in abnormally high numbers even now and long since COVID waned. Yet public health agencies and medical societies are silent.
 Life insurers have been consistently sounding the alarm over these unexpected or, “excess,” deaths, which claimed  158,000   more Americans  in the first nine months of 2023 than in the same period in 2019. That exceeds America’s combined losses from  every war  since Vietnam. Congress should urgently work with insurance experts to investigate this troubling trend.
 With the worst of COVID behind us, annual deaths for all causes should be back to pre-pandemic levels — or even lower because of the loss of so many sick and infirm Americans. Instead, the death toll remains “ alarming ,” “ disturbing ,” and deserving of “ urgent attention ,” according to insurance industry articles.
 Actuarial reports — used by insurers to inform decisions — show deaths occurring disproportionately among  young working-age people . Nonetheless, America’s chief health manager, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, opted in September to archive its excess deaths  webpage  with a note stating, “these datasets will no longer be updated.”
 Money, of course, is a motivating issue for insurers. In 2020, death claims took their biggest one-year leap since the 1918 influenza scourge, jumping  15.4 percent  to $90 billion in payouts. After hitting $100 billion in 2021,  claims  slowed in 2022, but are still above 2019. Indemnity experts are urging the adoption of an  early-warning program  to detect looming health problems among people with life insurance and keep them  alive .
 Unlike in the pandemic’s early phase, these deaths are not primarily among the old. For people 65 and over, deaths in the second quarter of 2023 were 6 percent  below  the pre-pandemic norm, according to a new report from the  Society of Actuaries . Mortality was 26 percent higher among insured 35-to-44-year-olds, and 19 percent higher for 25-to-34-year-olds, continuing a death spike that peaked in the third quarter of 2021 at a staggering 101 percent and 79 percent above normal, respectively.
 “COVID-19 claims do not fully explain the increase in incurred claim incidence,” the Society  said . COVID-19 deaths  dropped  84 percent from the first three quarters of 2021 to the same period in 2023.
 To some extent, we know  what  is killing the young, with an actuarial  analysis  of government data showing mortality increases in liver, kidney and cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.  Drug overdoses  also soared nationwide, but not primarily in the young working class. Therein lies the most pressing question for insurers, epidemiologists and health agency officials. Why is the traditionally healthiest sector of our society — young, employed, insured workers — dying at such rates? Public health officials aggressively oversaw the pandemic response, for better or worse. Why aren’t they looking into this?
 In the United Kingdom, where post-pandemic  excess deaths  in similar demographics also persist, a government-funded independent  inquiry  is underway. “With each passing week of the COVID inquiry,” the BBC  reported  recently, “it is clear there were deep flaws in the way decisions were made and information provided during the pandemic.”
 The United States needs such an examination of the measures taken to fight the pandemic. This probe — by a high-level, unbiased commission — should focus on what worked and what did not.
 Lockdowns limited access to education, social interaction and healthcare with documented harm to  childhood development ,  mental health  and  the economy . Treatment protocols dictated how doctors should deliver COVID care — primarily in hospitals and with expensive medicines — and limited early access to generic drugs that might have helped.
 Vaccines were given to more than  270 million people , among them babies, pregnant women and workers under employer mandates. The therapeutic’s “warp speed,”  emergency use  authorization must be part of any post-pandemic analysis, in light of more than 1 million  reports  of possible harm to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System and a new Yale University  study  validating a chronic post-vaccination syndrome.
 Finally, government officials who sanctioned unprecedented censorship of dissent — enforcing pandemic measures through media pressure — must be called to account.
 Actuaries and industry analysts  predict  excess deaths will continue among people with life insurance through 2030 and are “anticipated to be highest at younger ages.” This prediction defies normal expectations of mortality for a robust population of people with life insurance. Now consider how other  disability -afflicted,  poorly insured  Americans may fare.
 To ensure future generations are protected and to be ready for the possibility of another pandemic, Congress needs to assess what worked and what did not.

UK Parliament Testimony Videos From MP Andrew Bridgen's Historic Meeting - Martin, Kory, Malone

I am writing in honor of my having been being invited to speak at Andrew Bridgen’s UK Parliament meeting entitled “For Democracy, Truth, and Freedom” on Monday, December 4, 2023. If you want to skip my overview of the events leading up to and at the meeting, the first three testimony videos are at the end of the post (Martin, Kory, Malone). The rest I will send out as I receive them.
 Anyway, when I awoke that day, I was surprised to find myself nervous given that I have been giving lectures to large audiences now for almost 20 years as an expert on several sub-specialty topics within pulmonary and critical care medicine (critical care ultrasonography, therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest, and intravenous Vitamin C in severe sepsis). Although I recall being anxious in front of big audiences in the first year or two out of training, that quickly dissipated as the number of lectures rapidly increased.
 So why the nervousness? Maybe it was because of the Daily Telegraph article the week before which attacked Andrew and all of us as “conspiracy theorists,” or that I had gone to dinner the night before surrounded by one of the speaker’s security detail or that Steve Kirsch’s server holding all the New Zealand data had been deleted (we later learned that Google did the same thing to the research of vaccine DNA contamination expert Kevin McKernan), or maybe it was that the New Zealand whistleblower had been arrested the day before.
 Or maybe it was from hearing of the UK government’s lame attempts to disrupt the meeting, pulling things like:
 making a number of changes to the room size/location, whittling it down from a potential audience of 300 then down to 75 then down to I think like 30-40 people

 disallowing live streaming or filming of our testimonies (be prepared for poor audio and sometimes shaky cell phone footage of the testimonies)

 hearing rumors that memos were sent to MP’s advising them not to attend

 choosing a room which was maximally inconvenient to display slides - the TV was tiny compared to the size of the audience and room, it was placed in a corner and we were forced to employ a manual slide advancer etc..

 putting 5 large flat screen TV’s on the floor under the desk between the speakers, obstructed from view and disconnected from the display computer

 making it impossible to play the pre-recorded testimonies of Drs Peter McCullough and Mike Yeadon by leaving the TV muted without a remote control available with AV staff available to help (this situation may have been due to institutional incompetence, but it was awfully “coincidental” with the above)

 Let’s go back to the Mirror article for a second just to show what government/corporate controlled media (same thing) had to say:

 The highlights of the article:
 Star guest Dr Robert Malone rose to infamy after appearing on US comedian Joe Rogan’s immensely popular podcast and making a string of false and misleading claims about the virus and vaccinations . He’ll be joined by Dr Pierre Kory, whose fringe claims of anti-parasite drug Ivermectin as a “wonder drug” against Covid, while downplaying the effectiveness of vaccines led to thousands of Americans swallowing horse deworming paste. (Ed: insert cry -laughing emoji’s here).
 Dr Ryan Cole, also on the panel is facing charges from the Washington Medical Commission over “ numerous false and misleading statements related to Covid-19 ”. And British cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra won the ‘Rusty Razor’ award, a prize given to the year’s worst promoters of pseudoscience.
 The nervousness was also surprising because the weekend had been absolutely magical. A number of the invited speakers and spouses, along with Andrew Bridgen, stayed at a country estate called Wickham House in Newbury, hosted by a wonderful couple supporting all of us in the fight - Philippa and James D’arcy. At the risk of digressing, you just gotta see the pictures of the estate:

 This was a cozy room in “the barn” -

 One small section of a lovely walled garden (can see aerial view above):

 Anyway, although the weekend was magical (country walks, lavish meals in the most amazing dining rooms, chats over coffee and drinks in the parlor and library, long naps in cozy beds etc), for Steve it wasn’t as he was distracted by being at the center of a whirlwind of controversy involving the data leaked to him by a New Zealand health database administrator called Barry Young. Steve was fending off attacks falsely criticizing the veracity and accuracy of his data analysis by mainstream opponents as well as a number of prominent critics on our own side. Then, on Sunday morning, we learned that the whistleblower had been arrested and jailed.

 (I note that based on a quick google search, no major U.S media outlet covered the story. The most prominent I could find was a regional CBS affiliate in Austin, Texas above).
 Anyway, with things heating up, I felt like the ground was changing in both good and bad ways. When the other side starts making these kind of brazen moves, it usually means we are nearing the target. Thus, I had the feeling that our lectures could have the potential to truly disrupt the global “safe and effective” narrative (or at least move the needle a little more). But not so fast - I have learned that every time I feel like the iron dome of corporate controlled censorship is starting to show cracks, they do something to remind me of their immense global reach and power. Still, I felt the testimonies might go a little farther into the mainstream this time. To wit, Jill Malone’s video of her husband Robert’s speech got over 1 million views on Twitter overnight earlier this week.
 Plus the UK governments amateurish actions against us backfired - we were all on fire that day (you be the judge below). I recall the quote, “In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” And I consider my colleagues serious revolutionaries. The talks were incredibly powerful, none more so than the ones by Steve Kirsch and Angus Dalgleish (I trust my colleagues David Martin, Robert Malone, and Ryan Cole will not take offense as those guys are always brilliant and powerful).
 I had met Angus the night before and had been unaware just how incredibly accomplished he is as one of the UK’s top cancer researchers and that he had long known of Fauci’s fraudulence given his own history of trying to develop an HIV vaccine. To wit, Angus published two books on Covid already, one proving the lab origin of SARS-CoV2 and the other on the numerous facets of Covid fraud, called “ The Death of Science. ” His wikipedia page detailing his efforts in Covid are astonishing.
 He more recently came to international renown after he started speaking about how all of his melanoma patients were relapsing after their mRNA boosters (he is a world expert in melanoma research).
 His talk showed with such easily comprehensible clarity that the concept of a mass coronavirus vaccination strategy was divorced from basic immunological principles – something many of us had been saying from the outset (plus knowing that no vaccine for corona had ever been shown to be safe  - the previous ones all led to worse outcomes via antibody dependent enhancement).
 Finally, what I will say is that, in the last year, of all the international testimonies I have delivered, this one had the most MP’s in the room – estimated at over 20 (from both the House of Commons and the House of Lords) . Andrew told me about half were expected and the others were a surprise.. so the needle may be advancing. Interestingly, the Irish MP’s seemed over represented percentage-wise (go Ireland!) and that all the MP’s questions were thoughtful and evidenced the fact we left a deep impression on them.
 OK, check out the lectures below, and lets see how far we can get our data and scientific conclusions out there to the world. Only three are “ready” so far (the film editor had to patch together cell phone video and audio with the slides afterwards (again, because the AV setup was so deliberately sabotaged in Parliament). You will also see the challenges we faced by the quality of the video and audio in the below videos.
 Dr. David Martin:

 Dr. Pierre Kory:

 Dr. Robert Malone

 I trust you were as moved as I was watching the first testimonies. I will send the others as I receive them.

"The War on Ivermectin” Isn’t Just Your Favorite Book, Now It’s Also A Documentary

Covid may be fading faster than last week’s sunburn (likely to make way for the “ next pandemic ”), but the war on ivermectin rages on. And it’s no wonder, as we continue to discover its efficacy against increasing numbers of viral illnesses and now, even cancers. Of course, the more ivermectin threatens these insanely lucrative markets, the more enemies it racks up. (If you thought the Covid market was massive, in the end, cancer may be even bigger - the global chemotherapy market alone is expected to reach  $330 Billion by 2029 .)
 Mikki Willis is a bestselling author, investigative filmmaker, and now, a friend. (He also used to be an old lefty/progressive like me - emphasis on the “used to be.”) In 2020, he released the first installment of his documentary series, Plandemic. The micro-budget documentary  was watched and shared by over one billion people world-wide ,  making it the most seen independent movie in history.  Plandemic 2: Indoctornation, set a streaming world-record with 2 million viewers attending the online premiere. Plandemic 3: The Great Awakening, was released in June of 2023 and is being hailed by critics as, “the most important movie of this era.” Note that the Plandemic trilogy can be seen for free at PlandemicSeries.com .
 More relevant to my cause is that last year, Mikki released a short but powerful documentary detailing how ivermectin, the now infamous Nobel Prize-winning medication, had been slandered during the COVID pandemic. Well, a lot has happened in the year since, so Mikki has masterfully updated the film and rebranded it  The War on Ivermectin   to selflessly help support my book  with explosive new clips and critical legal developments.
 What is even cooler is that Del Bigtree (of the  Informed Consent Action Network  and  The Highwire  fame), who wrote the foreword, has invited me on his show today to discuss the book and premiere the film (and to talk about the topic of shedding).
 Anyway, I’m begging my amazing and generous subscribers and colleagues to watch the film below (12 minutes) and then share this post widely .
 It’s not about selling books, it’s about trying to teach the world how Big Pharma manipulates trials, medical journals, health agencies, and the media to propagate scientific lies that lead both doctors and patients to take actions that can destroy their health and lives. They are going to do it again and hopefully this time the world will be ready. Check out the film below:

Expert Testimony In A UK Parliament Meeting Today

I am here in London upon the invitation of the courageous MP Andrew Bridgen to speak at a Parliamentary meeting with my colleagues Robert Malone, Ryan Cole, Angus Dalgleish, David Martin, and Steve Kirsch (Peter McCullough and Mike Yeadon are testifying remotely).

 As of now, we are being told that filming/streaming of our testimony is not allowed but I will send out a link if this changes (see the below summary of highlights of our planned testimony by Oracle Films below).
 Also, for UK citizens, please continue to lobby MPs to attend, the letter template can be found here .

 I hope that our testimony will have significant impact as it is my sense that the truth is finally starting to break free from the immense censorship and propaganda of the past few years. I am not holding my breath given that my hopes have been dashed in the wake prior testimonies. However, there is no other option but to keep trying because I refuse to live in a world of deadly Covid policies based on immense scientific fraud. Let’s see what happens.

Let's Agree to Disagree

This week on this very platform, I wrote a post about the media’s deafening silence on the #DiedSuddenly phenomenon . It’s a hard case to argue, frankly, as a) there’s undeniable proof it is happening at exponentially-above-normal rates around the world, and b) you won’t hear a peep about it in the news.
 As always, 99% of the comments were in support of my stance. (I’m not suggesting I’m spot-on 99% of the time, incidentally; I’m merely pointing out that my subscribers tend to be of like mind. You know, since they subscribe. ) But there’s always at least one outlier; a well-intended lone wolf who seemingly swings by to defend Pharma, call me delusional for not buying into the carefully crafted hype, or both.
 This week it was Linda, a retired RN, whose publicly posted comments included the following:
 “Lots of meritless speculation & paranoia here, which likely will continue ad infinitum thanks to the misinformation that’s spread like wildfire in the last 2 years. Very sad.”

 [Author’s note: I can only hope my “misinformation” continues to spread like wildfire! Trust me, I’m not doing this for my health or my sanity.]
 “I predict that more people will reject their doctors’ recommendations, take only herbal supplements instead of vetted medication and die of treatable cardiac disease or cancer.”

 [Author’s note: I’m assuming the “vetted medication(s)” Linda is referring to are the clot shots and remdesivir or one of the many cardiovascular therapies Pfizer added to their arsenal when they acquired Arena Pharmaceuticals and not ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine. Just a hunch.]
 “‘Turbo cancers,’ ‘needle rape,’ etc are sarcastic, made-up terms coined by anti-COVID vaccine or anti-mRNA vaccine folks, even some self-important non-expert doctors, they are not medical terms.”

 [Author’s note: All words are made up, Linda. ‘Turbo cancer’ is simply a way of describing the new and unprecedented rates at which cancers are progressing. Call them Quantum Computer Cancers, Peregrine Falcon Cancers, Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Cancers, Usain Bolt Cancers, or nothing at all. Doesn’t matter; they’re happening .]
 “Post-vaccine clotting disorders and cardiac inflammation, both of which were quickly addressed and appropriately managed (I'd be happy to tell you how), occurred in specific populations, YES, but not in the numbers and percentages you're throwing out there. WAY exaggerated.”

 [Author’s note: Yes, please, Linda. Tell me how post-vaccine clotting and cardiac inflammation have been appropriately managed. Better yet, tell it to the 20,983 post-COVID jab heart attack victims currently documented in VAERS .]
 “You're welcome to your own opinion but it should be based on evidence--even some of the "evidence" about drugs like Ivermectin and HCQ is MIXED. MIXED evidence is evidence...it's evidence that there IS NO evidence.”

 [Author’s note: I wrote an entire book about the bastardization of science, which I will excerpt briefly below for Linda’s convenience.]
 “Girlfriend [yes, she called me girlfriend] , I don't ‘believe’ what I do based on propaganda but on personal experience in studying research in graduate school and afterward in my work and teaching. And in 42 years of working with physicians and other nurse specialists who know what they're doing and are great teachers. Research validity and reliability standards don't ever change.”

 [Author’s note: Hahahahahahaha.]
 In Linda’s defense, she did call Fauci a lying idiot. Twice.
 Want more of my unique style of snark? Sign up already! It’s free (unless you want to pay, which you’re welcome to do if you’re so inclined and you want to be BFFs).

 In our book The War on Ivermectin , my co-author Dr. Pierre Kory opens with a description of the man he calls “Old Pierre,” a book-smart but clearly brainwashed dude who sounds a lot like, well, Linda. Dr. Kory self-reflects:
 Old Pierre believed that the elite, esteemed medical journals represented the best of scientific thought and study. The Lancet or the New England Journal of Medicine said so? It was settled then. Old Pierre religiously read the New York Times from cover to cover, because it was the paper of record; the arbiter of truth. If you wanted to know what was really going on, you read the Times. Period. He voted for Biden (although in his defense, he wasn’t exactly a fan and never put a BIDEN-HARRIS ring around any of his social media profile photos), trusted the government (I know!), and actually believed that public health agencies were committed to safeguarding and improving . . . wait for it . . . public health. He knew— knew, I tell you! —that vitamins were a scam and that hospitals were life-saving centers of care, compassion, and excellence. Old Pierre dutifully lined up for his own annual flu shot and followed the childhood immunization schedule to the letter with his three daughters.

 Dr. Kory summarizes his former self thusly: “He was a clueless sonofabitch.”
 I encouraged Lone Wolf Linda to read the book (she won’t) in the hopes that she might begin to understand or at least acknowledge the psychological manipulation she has we all have been subjected to. I responded to her claim that “research validity and reliability standards don’t ever change,” with the following passages (edited lightly for brevity):
 Dr. Marcia Angell, the long-time editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine , resigned over twenty years ago after two decades in the post. She left because of what she described as the rising and indefensible influence being exerted by Pharma at the prestigious journal and its powerful affiliate societies.
 Back then.
 Dr. Angell wrote a remarkable book about the widespread corruption she witnessed. In The Truth About Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It, she wrote:
 Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, big Pharma uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers and the medical profession itself.
 In her book, Dr. Angell brilliantly and unapologetically summarized the sorry state of the medical industrial complex:
 It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.
 Further, Angell had no qualms pointing out something that’s becoming clearer by the year: sick care is big, big business. In fact, Angell wrote, “ In 2003, the profits of the top 10 big Pharma exceeded that of the cumulative profits of the other 490 Fortune 500 Companies.”
 Let those numbers sink in for a moment.
 This deep-seated corruption is hardly new. The late Dr. Arnold Relman, another former editor-in-chief of the NEJM , said this in 2002: “The medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research. The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful.”

 Perhaps doctors Angell and Relman were superspreaders of “meritless speculation and paranoia,” too. Or maybe, just maybe, our medical system has been broken for far longer than most folks—particularly those practicing inside of it, presumably with good intentions, a leap I’m willing to make for Linda—would like to believe or admit.
 Let’s say you’ve got a suspicious looking mole, but you’re too scared to get it checked. Or you know you’re living beyond your means, but you can’t bring yourself to check your bank balance. Your willful denial doesn’t make that mole benign or prevent your account from running into the red. In fact, avoiding reality only allows these problems to fester, multiply, and spiral out of control.
 The same goes for peeking under the hood of our sick care system. The sooner we expose its failing, compromised engine, the sooner we can sell it for scrap and rebuild a safe and reliable ride.

Elon Musk's Comments On Mechanical Ventilation Betrayed A Stunning Amount of Ignorance - Part 1

Recently, Elon Musk was interviewed by Joe Rogan where he shared that, early in Covid, he had access to front-line data in China and “talked to doctors from Wuhan,” implying that if we had known what he knew, our use of mechanical ventilation would have been different. That is almost certainly true but he then went on to make several inaccurate statements which I think further fuel widespread misunderstanding and overestimation of the actual negative impacts of mechanical ventilation use during Covid in the U.S.
 Now, I find it shocking that I might be putting myself in a position to defend the U.S Covid response as that would be an outrageous endeavor, however, I take issue with his subsequent statements on mechanical ventilation use as they were almost completely wrong (almost).
 I hate misinformation (inaccurate /false information) about Covid and I believe Elon trafficked in the same. I do not believe he did so out of willful, malevolent intent as that would be disinformation ( what the now corporate controlled U.S government regime does to us ). His comments were instead borne of a stunning amount of ignorance regarding the real risks of mechanical ventilation and exactly how mechanical ventilation was misused (and not misused) both in China and in the U.S during that first wave. So, here is my attempt to “set the record straight.”
 ELON: “We had 20,000 employees in China and during the first wave we had nobody die and nobody get ill.”
 This is both interesting and unsurprising and almost certainly accurate. It brings back harsh memories of all the fear porn that was being blasted out by the world’s media with cherry-picked images of scenes from the hardest hit areas like Wuhan, Lombardy, New York, Seattle etc. They did this while the vast majority of urban areas in the country and around the world did not experience such tidal waves of people in acute respiratory failure.
 Although news media trying to get as many eyeballs glued to their shows is not new (i.e. “if it bleeds it leads”) in early Covid, it soon became apparent to many (in my world at least) that they also did so to instill widespread fear to increase compliance with what were soon to be draconian violations of civil liberty, bodily autonomy, informed consent, and free speech. Those violations were deemed necessary in their plight to coerce the entire U.S population to be vaccinated. This is probably a good time to re-read the anonymous poem I posted last year titled “Message to the Unvaccinated.” Link here:

 However, on this point of instilling the greatest amount of fear possible, a recent post by A Midwestern Doctor quoted Scott Atlas , a completely sane member of the White House’s insane Coronavirus Task Force:
 As often happened, Fauci spoke up to support Dr. Birx’s concerns, saying people need to be warned even more strongly about the dangers of the virus spreading, about wearing masks and distancing. He claimed Americans didn’t think the virus was serious, and that was the reason cases spread . I was honestly surprised. I thought people were already panic-stricken . Normal life had virtually ceased to exist, even eliminating serious medical care or last visits with dying family. Meanwhile the media were on-message 24/7, instructing the public about masks and social distancing; there were signs and announcements demanding masks and diagrams about distancing e and diagrams about distancing everywhere; healthy young people were outside riding bicycles or driving their cars alone, wearing masks. Indeed, surveys showed that most adults perceived grossly exaggerated risks, particularly but not only younger people; and yes, a high percentage were obeying the edicts, distancing and wearing masks, according to virtually every published survey.
 I challenged him to clarify his point, because I couldn’t believe my ears. “So you think people aren’t frightened enough?”

He [Fauci] said, “Yes, they need to be more afraid.”

To me, this was another moment of Kafkaesque absurdity. I replied, “ I totally disagree. People are paralyzed with fear. Fear is one of the main problems at this point.” Inside, I was also shocked at his thought process, as such an influential face of the pandemic. Instilling fear in the public is absolutely counter to what a leader in public health should do. To me, it is frankly immoral, although I kept that to myself.”
 Note: Fauci also fear-mongered for his own benefit throughout the AIDS crisis (which amongst other things created significant stigmatization towards the gay community as Fauci asserted without evidence that HIV might be transmitted without physical contact).

 ELON: I called doctors in Wuhan and asked “what are some of the biggest mistakes you made in the first wave” and they said “we put far too many people on mechanical ventilators.”
 My motivation for writing this post is to try to correct (but not completely refute) the now widespread, strong belief that it was the “ventilators” that killed people and that if we did not use mechanical ventilators, many lives would have been saved. Or, similarly, “if they hadn’t put my (wife/mother/father etc) on a ventilator, they would be alive today.”
 I largely and strongly disagree with the latter assessment (but not completely). The reason for my disagreement is that, based on my experiences running Covid ICU’s at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, Greenville Memorial Hospital in South Carolina, St. Lukes Medical Center in Milwaukee, and Aspirus Wausau in Central Wisconsin, it wasn’t the vents that killed people.. it was the lack of effective treatments being adopted .
 Initially, it was the lack of any treatment (i.e. “supportive care only” approaches, particularly at UW) that led to widespread death after what was often weeks on a ventilator and later it morphed into sub-optimal, insufficiently aggressive, sometimes harmful, monolithic treatments like Remdesivir and a modest dose of corticosteroids instead of a broad, multi-component, safe, synergistic combination of therapies such as the MATH+ protocol that FLCCC members were using and recommending for hospital patients (forgive me for I am biased). However, Elon then said the following regarding mechanical ventilation:
 “This is what is exactly damaging the lungs it is not Covid. The treatment, the cure is worse than the disease.”
 “People yelled at me saying I am not a doctor but I said yeah but I do make spaceships with life support systems, what do you do?”
 Well, Elon, although I don’t build spaceships, I actually used and taught mechanical ventilation to keep people alive for a living and did so throughout most of Covid. Further, mechanical ventilation was a deep interest if not passion of mine for almost 20 years prior.
 The act of of sedating and paralyzing someone to place an endotracheal tube through their vocal cords and into their trachea is called “intubation” and is required to transition someone to support by an invasive mechanical ventilator. What I witnessed in the first wave (but not later waves) was doctors favoring “early intubation/mechanical ventilation” out of fear that the patient would suddenly crash (intubating a “crashing” patient is a higher risk procedure). And yes, another subtle, but not overt motivation, very early on, was to “protect” staff from exhaled breath due to fear of heated high flow nasal cannulas (this is an intermediate support device often used to avoid intubation) - more on this issue/aspect in Part 3 which is already available here ).
 Now, although it is true that each extra day on a ventilator can worsen prognosis, the harms are much more from prolonged, poorly responsive illness requiring prolonged sedation and immobility which then cause confusion/delirium and disuse atrophy of the muscles. So for him to say it is the ventilators which damage the lungs more than Covid is completely off - know that patients with neurological injuries affecting respiration can be kept alive safely on ventilators for weeks to months to years to decades without significant “damage” accumulating to the lungs.
 Admittedly, the situation of someone with a lung injury is different in that inappropriate ventilator settings can certainly further damage the lungs, but with modern ventilator techniques such as low tidal volumes, daily spontaneous breathing trials, use of appropriate positive-end expiratory pressure, highly responsive inhalation triggers etc, the harms of mechanical ventilation to the lungs are generally minimal.
 To wit, I have successfully extubated thousands of patients in my career despite devastating injuries to their lungs requiring prolonged periods on the ventilator, even in situations where the ventilator was particularly difficult to set in order to achieve the holy grail of mechanical ventilation, that of “patient-ventilator synchrony.” All I am saying is that his comment on the harms of mechanical ventilation was grossly overstated to an un-credible degree. He then went further:
 “The treatment is worse than the disease.”
 Ugh. Mechanical ventilation is not and has never been a treatment, it is simply a means to support a patient’s breathing to keep them alive while you administer therapies (more on this below) to reverse the underlying insult or infection that landed them on the ventilator in the first place - no-one, and I mean no-one in medicine has ever viewed the ventilator as a treatment or cure for anything.
 However, the initial practice of “early intubation” caused unmanageable and chaotic situations in many hospitals by increasing demand for ICU rooms and ventilators, but I will argue below that this situation was almost completely fueled by the lack of effective treatments being adopted.
 This is a key distinction, i.e the harm of ineffectively or not treating the disease far, far outweighed the harms of intubating too early. Further, “early” intubations largely occurred during the first wave, and as physicians became more familiar with the disease they began to defer intubation to much more advanced degrees of respiratory failure and hypoxemia (obviously there were exceptions to this, but, as I mentioned above, I travelled and worked fairly widely, and in each center I found that the ICU docs quickly learned to defer intubation to as late as possible in Covid induced hypoxemic respiratory failure. This issue is what I will explore in further detail in Part 2.
 I instead maintain that the absurdly high death rates in many hospitals in the U.S and across the world in the early waves of Covid was due to an over-reliance on “supportive care only” approaches (i.e. limiting interventions to just supplemental oxygen, fluids, nutrition, fever suppressants, mechanical ventilation). Rarely were effective treatments targeting the underlying pathophysiology being offerred at most academic medical centers based on the widespread belief that patients were dying of a viral pneumonia and that no effective anti-viral therapies existed.
 What was not being sufficiently taught or disseminated at that time is that Covid-19 disease had multiple phases, i.e. an early “viral replicative phase” marked by typical viral syndrome symptoms such as cough, fever, congestion, sore throat, fatigue etc with a minority of those patients then going on to develop the later “hyper-inflammatory phase” involving the lungs. The FLCCC tried very hard to alert “the system” to the fact that early studies found no live, culturable virus in patient secretions beyond Day 6 (cue the folks who state there is no virus and/or they don’t exist. To those, all I can offer is this excellent post addressing the issue by A Midwestern Doctor ).
 Thus, after about Day 6, a minority of Covid-19 patients began to develop morphed a hyper-inflammatory, pulmonary phase due largely to activated macrophages (an immune cell) as well as micro-clumping or clotting of blood cells and proteins. In this latter phase, anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive therapies combined with anti-coagulants were required (this is why the FLCCC recommended corticosteroids and blood thinners in hospital patients from the outset and were observing excellent results with early use).
 To wit, my first paper on Covid (and the one I am most proud of) was initially drafted in April of 2020. I argued then that Covid-19 pulmonary disease was not a viral pneumonia but instead an “organizing pneumonia” (a form of lung injury with many causes (viruses are only one of them) but whose mainstay of therapy is corticosteroids) .

 From the abstract:

 I arrived at that hypothesis after a couple of weeks of being mystified by the repeated presentations of Covid patients with what was called at the time, “happy hypoxia”, i.e. the state of requiring high amounts of supplemental oxygen yet without exhibiting a significant increase in the work of breathing.
 I knew I had seen “happy hypoxia” on a couple of occasions in my career but could not remember what was wrong with those patients until one morning during a shower before an ICU shift in New York City it hit me - “these patients remind me of patients with organizing pneumonia!” As soon as I got to work, before my shift, I called Dr. Jeff Kanne at the University of Wisconsin, one of the top chest radiologists in the world and an expert on organizing pneumonia.
 “Jeff, what would you say if I told you that I think that all of these Covid patients are suffering from organizing pneumonia?” I asked. His answer? “Of course they are. We wrote this up in March in the journal Radiology after an expert panel that I chaired completed our review of all the CT scans from Wuhan.” They had actually written in their expert report that “ the most common reported CT findings in Covid-19 patients are typical of an organizing pneumonia pattern of lung injury. ”
 “Clinicians don’t read radiology journals,” I shouted into the phone. “We need to publish this in a clinical medical journal! Like NOW!” We quickly agreed that we would write it up together.
 I went home after my ICU shift and started working furiously. The paper included radiographic, pathologic, and clinical evidence to try to prove that the pulmonary phase of Covid-19 was an organizing pneumonia and that the first line of therapy for this condition was (wait for it)... corticosteroids .
 Note that my paper above was not published until September 2020 due to 5 journals rejecting it, with one journal rejecting it because a peer-reviewer said “this cannot be published until a randomized controlled trial of corticosteroids is conducted.” Welcome to my life.
 The problem we in the FLCCC had with getting the world to use corticosteroids in the hospital phase were many and will be explored in Part 2 (already available).

Summary: Recently Musk and Rogan discussed the overuse of mechanical ventilation in Covid. Although Elon "builds life support systems" he knows little about mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory failure.
