What do stats show about facts? Analysis of VAERS data by experienced statisticians shows some alarming patterns. What can we be sure of?
“Countries that have authorized experimental injections for the alleged treatment or prevention of the alleged bundle of symptoms called “Covid-19” have given immunity to Big Pharma. That means, no prosecution or damages for harm caused.
In that environment, it has been discovered that Big Pharma has been conducting “lethal dose” “trials” on human beings by hiding “toxic” and “super toxic” experimental drugs of all kinds in among the lots of “Covid” injections with intent to kill, and gather data on the killings.
Big Pharma has labeled these hidden batches with code numbers so they can track the expected deaths to the batches, so they will know which experimental drug at what dosage has done the killing.”
A discussion of these facts and the implications with German lawyer Reiner Fuellmich and Dr Sam White from the UK can be found here. More videos on this topic can be found here or here.
I have friends (in multiple countries) who are thoroughly persuaded that everything that has been presented to them through the media and government sources is true. They also state that accepting the vaccine is a good idea for their personal health, protection, and freedom to participate in society. They stress that getting the jab is the virtuous, caring responsibility of all people and imply – directly or indirectly – that those who are not willing to participate are being selfish.
They do not want more information and seem impervious to questions that do not endorse or support their way of thinking. I wanted to put this information together in a post for those who are interested in understanding some of the statistics that you will not find in the mainstream. If you want to take a deeper dive into the statistics involved in the vaccine discussion, this 2+ hour video interview with Dr Mike Yeadon, former scientific researcher with Pfizer, will be enlightening:
The group of statisticians investigating the VAERS data has released a website where you can get specific toxicity information on the individual vaccine lots. Doctors and pharmacists should be asked to check out the toxicity all lots of the vaccines they are providing. How Bad is My Batch?
While it is true that the concept of vaccines is never mentioned in the Bible, the Bible gives us a foundation to understand what we are facing today. We have an enemy. His aim is to steal (life and happiness), kill (our bodies and spirits), and destroy (individuals, families, society) by any and all means (John 10:9). He is an expert liar (John 8:44). But he, and his minions, are not able to directly inflict harm on us. As children of God we have protection from God. But the enemy is able to trick God’s children into their own demise. He promises life and freedom. The enemy never delivers on his promises. The enemy uses fear to push us towards his agenda.
We do not need to cower in fear of the enemy. He is not powerful. He uses tricks to get us to agree to his plans. But, His tactics are repeated, making them obvious when you know what to look for. He told Eve that God was holding out on her and that there was much more to be gained by accepting his offer and eating the forbidden fruit. Adam stood silently by, watching his woman accepting the trick. Read, or re-read, Genesis 1 – 3 to understand the foundation of the devil’s tactics with mankind from the beginning.
Christians need to be aware of the evil. How often have we stood idly by in order not to face harassment in this PC dominated culture? But evil has propagated. Evil has always been attempting to lead the population into fear and destruction. These Time Magazine covers chronicle the recent attempts to generate such fear.
These modern day attempts to inflict a virus on the population at large did not gain the traction that we see worldwide from 2020. There are probably many reasons for this. Social media has played a role. Indebtedness on an individual and country level plays a role. People with power to protect, careers to protect, etc. will go along in order not to experience personal sacrifice. Pride, greed, and systemic corruption all play roles in the ability of the enemy to propagate lies to so many innocent, trusting people throughout the world.
Asking questions is vital. Critical thinking is seeking to believe more true things and believe less false things. We need to be able to understand contradictory information and discern truth. I believe Jesus Christ when He said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” He healed many blind people. Even His disciples who spent so much time with Him, didn’t fully understand the meaning of all of His teaching. They were not able to grasp it. As ‘modern’ Christians our pride can cause us to think we know everything. We need to humbly ask God to open our eyes. May we say with the blind begger, “Lord, I want to see.” (Luke 18:41)
We also desperately need the Holy Spirit to lead and guide every thought and every decision we make. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would be given to those who accept and follow Him. I search the ancient Scriptures to learn more of the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. John 14 and 1 John are good places to start.
I don’t have all the answers, but I do know that God wants His people to stand against evil. “Have nothing to do with the godless deeds of darkness, rather expose them.” (see more from Ephesians 5 in the turquoise box).
Here is a pastor who faced a tyrant in Zimbabwe who has insight into how Christians can discern and respond to tyrants.
“Once tyranny reveals itself, you know you are on a trajectory that will only intensify.”
Why it is important to recognize where we are at and what these indicators are pointing to.
“The way to fight against darkness and evil is with truth and light.”
We are all responsible before God to pursue truth and righteous.
There are many places in Scripture where evil was rampant in the culture and society. Some instances I’ve read recently include Josiah, as king of Judah (2 Kings 23); Daniel, inscripted into the enemy advisory force from a young age; and Nehemiah, serving a foreign king and learning of the heartache and suffering of his people in Jerusalem. These leaders had a surprising response. They all prayed with personal repentance and confession of sin. They claimed a shared responsibility for the evil that had taken hold in their lifetimes. They then sought to hear and obey God’s direction in their life. They played important roles in leading people to seek and honor God.
We desperately need revival. We need to be part of God’s work on the earth at this time. He is still building His kingdom and inviting people to receive forgiveness of sins and life through Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Repentance is the starting point.
We can proclaim this truth to a lost hurting world. More people are seeking truth than ever before. I pray you will be given power, just as promised by Jesus in Acts 1, to be God’s faithful witness to every person God brings across your path. God will open ears, minds, and hearts. We are privileged to proclaim the truth of His love and goodness.
To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me. Acts 26:18

Please heed this serious warning and share with other parents and grandparents. You may be bombarded with marketing information promoting this product for your child. Please consider that the product is:
My name is Robert Malone, and I am speaking to you as a parent, grandparent, physician and scientist. I don’t usually read from a prepared speech, but this is so important that I wanted to make sure that I get every single word and scientific fact correct.
I stand by this statement with a career dedicated to vaccine research and development. I’m vaccinated for COVID and I’m generally pro-vaccination. I have devoted my entire career to developing safe and effective ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
After this, I will be posting the text of this statement so you can share it with your friends and family.
Before you inject your child – a decision that is irreversible – I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created:
There are three issues parents need to understand:
The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including
Their brain and nervous system
Their heart and blood vessels, including blood clots
Their reproductive system, and
This vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system
The most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable
You can’t fix the lesions within their brain
You can’t repair heart tissue scarring
You can’t repair a genetically reset immune system, and
This vaccine can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your family
The second thing you need to know about is the fact that this novel technology has not been adequately tested.
We need at least 5 years of testing/research before we can really understand the risks
Harms and risks from new medicines often become revealed many years later
Ask yourself if you want your own child to be part of the most radical medical experiment in human history
One final point: the reason they’re giving you to vaccinate your child is a lie.
Your children represent no danger to their parents or grandparents
It’s actually the opposite. Their immunity, after getting COVID, is critical to save your family if not the world from this disease
In summary: there is no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine that as a parent, you and your children may have to live with for the rest of their lives.
The risk/benefit analysis isn’t even close.
As a parent and grandparent, my recommendation to you is to resist and fight to protect your children.

Before you make your decision on whether or not to give your child a CV vaccine, here are some questions you may want to consider:
What risks are there to my child from actually getting a natural CV infection?
What is the risk to my child of receiving a the product marketed as a Covid vaccine?
If one child has an adverse reaction, will my other children be at an increased risk?
What is myocarditis? Is it true that myocarditis is happening in young people after a vaccine? What is the long-term or short-term impact of myocarditis? Can a person heal from myocarditis?
How many boosters am I willing to receive? How many boosters will I be willing to give my children?
Can I take the time to read information that does not support my point of view and ask if there is validity? Or must all information I am exposed to agree with my preferred narrative?
Are there other ways to help my child boost their immune system and optimize health other than vaccines?
There have been 837,593 reports of adverse events after the experimental liability free CV vaccine through October 22, 2021 in the USA. Each report takes time and detail to complete and there are specific warnings about providing false information on these reports. A Harvard study in conjunction with the CDC estimated that VAERs under reports so that all numbers could be multiplied by 10 – 100.
17,619 deaths
86,542 hospitalizations
94,163 urgent care
130,795 doctor office visits
7,706 anaphylaxis
10,465 Bell’s Palsy
2,712 miscarriages
8,656 Heart Attacks
10,956 myocarditis/pericarditis
27, 277 permanently disabled
4,014 Thrombocytopenia/low platelet
19,584 life threatening
32,305 severe allergic reaction
9,987 shingles
This father experienced tragedy when his son experienced an unexpected adverse event after receiving the jab that was supposed to provide ‘protection’ from harm. He thought he was doing the right thing, but his life was dramatically altered after his sons death shortly after receiving the shot. He speaks out to help other parents avoid his pain.
Can we actually trust government recommendations? Research Tuskegee. Investigate how vaccines have been tested on orphans and the infirm. Find out how those who have experienced vaccine adverse events have been treated.
Many pro vaccine people stepped up to get the vaccine and have experienced devastating life altering adverse events. Senator Ron Johnson held a Round Table event in Washington DC and invited the heads of all the major relevant government agencies and the media. The Department Heads did not accept the invitation. The major media outlets did not cover this event. But you can listen to medical and legal experts discuss the facts. You can also hear directly from Pfizer and Astra Zeneka trial participants and early recipients of this experimental injection. They have been shocked to find themselves experiencing serious adverse events and totally unsupported by trial organizers. You can find more of their stories here.

Children are likely at a higher risk of injury from the ‘prevention’ than from the disease itself: Increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, hospitalization, swelling of the heart. Longterm consequences on health and future fertility are unknown. Rates of reports of myopericarditis far exceed the expectations of the CDC.
Watch this one minute video where CARDIOLOGIST DR. PETER MCCULLOUGH EXPLAINS HOW MYOCARDITIS DIFFERS WHEN CAUSED BY NATURAL INFECTION. “Studies suggest the lipid nano particles from the vaccine go directly to the heart. The body attacks the heart causing dramatic EKG changes. A totally different syndrome after the vaccine. Vaccine induced myocarditis is a big deal… in children it is way more serious and prominent than a post covid [natural infection] mycarditis.”
For a disease that 99.9973% of children survive.
Again, what’s the point?
A product that no one is prepared to take responsibility for. The manufacturers, licensing bodies and promoters are all 100% liability free.
If your child is harmed, the entire responsibility rests on you – the parent.

Bee sting, cuts, scrapes, burns … things happen. Sometimes we seek medical care in an ER or urgent care. We are there for an informed opinion on our need for medical treatment, yet often the first issue we face is pressure to accept a tetanus shot. ERs throughout the country seem to have the same standard protocol to promote a “tetanus shot” for nearly every presentation. I’ve written about tetanus here, here, here and here. But I came across some facts that I wanted to collect and share.
Tetanus is the name of a sickness you get when the bacterium Clostridium tetani enters your body and flourishes (with a life cycle). C. tetani is an anaerobic bacteria meaning it can only live in the absence of oxygen. In the presence of oxygen tetanus cannot complete its life cycle to create the tetanus toxin which is dangerous. If a wound has bled and can be cleaned and aired, there is very little risk of this life cycle ever happening.
Before agreeing to a tetanus shot it is imperative to seek information on the true risk of a tetanus infection compared to the risk of harm caused by the “tetanus” vaccine. The CDC provides information on tetanus infections through annual reports. Vaccine adverse events can be found in the VAERS data base and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) annual compensation reports.
In an 8 year study covered by the CDC mortality and morbidity report (2001-2008) 45 states reported 233 cases of diagnosed tetanus infection including 26 deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6012a1.htm
Compare this to 791 deaths reported during this time period from a tetanus containing vaccine.
The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) was set up in 1988 as a voluntary reporting system to track vaccine reactions. 155,830 adverse events and 2,676 deaths were reported following tetanus containing vaccines in children and adults. Updated statistics are available from https://www.openvaers.com/openvaers.
Admittedly, most vaccines are given in combination with many other vaccines so the harm cannot be attributed solely to the tetanus vaccine.
During 2001–2008, a total of 233 cases of tetanus were reported from 45 states; 26 were fatal.
An average of 29 cases was reported each year.
The average annual incidence was 0.10 per 1 million population.
C. tetani is ubiquitous in the environment (can be found everywhere)
Populations considered at increased risk for tetanus include persons with tetanus-prone wounds, IDUs (injection drug users), and those with diabetes and chronic wounds.
The findings in this report indicate that older adults are at greater risk for tetanus than younger persons, and the risk for fatal disease is higher among patients aged ≥65 years.
“Tetanus only” shots were once available, but are no longer offered because the manufacturers stopped production. The only ‘tetanus’ injection available in the US is a three in one shot containing diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines. While many doctors, nurses, and ER staff will encourage anyone with a wound to get a ‘tetanus’ shot, the only shot available is the DTaP for children and the TDaP for adults.
There are many first hand reports of patients agreeing to receive a tetanus shot, but when the shot arrives, the vial is for DTaP/TDaP.
In conclusion, during 2001-2008 a total of 53,470 injuries including 791 deaths were reported from a tetanus containing vaccine to the registry within the United States government database while during the same time period, 26 died from tetanus infection.
The tetanus vaccine is heralded as the reason for the decrease in tetanus world wide, but this has never been substantiated. Documented Tetanus Mortality in England & Wales from 1901 to 1999 shows “the administration of the tetanus vaccine is likely to be pointless and puts children especially at risk of adverse reactions to the vaccines. Deaths related to Tetanus and tetanus incidents overall, sharply decreased long before the vaccine was introduced widely during World War II.” https://preventdisease.com/news/10/102510_vaccines_did_not_save_us.shtml#Tet_EngWale
Tetanus is ubiquitous: It is found on the surface of the body, in the mouth, in the gastro-intestinal tract, in house dust and clothing. It occurs extensively in cultivated soils. The organism lives as a harmless commensal in the gut of many animals, in addition to humans…
The geographical distribution of tetanus across the globe generally follows the areas of moist, warm climate and fertile soil — the highest rates occur in the developing world, particularly in countries near the equator.
Non vaccinated individuals can have tetanus antibodies due to natural exposure. 410 Indians demonstrate measurable antitoxin despite receiving no vaccines.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6114281/
There have been allegations that some vaccines targeting fertile female populations in underdeveloped countries contain human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) to prevent pregnancy. In 1993, WHO announced a “birth-control vaccine” for “family planning”. Published research shows that by 1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. Many priests have raised concerns regarding targeting populations in Africa, Asia, and South America to cause sterilization. https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838, https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12346214/
Many efforts to give vaccines to pregnant women state the purported aim is to reduce neonatal tetanus (NT).
“NT most often occurs through cutting of the umbilical cord using non-sterile techniques or applying non-sterile traditional remedies to the umbilical cord stump, but infection of the umbilical stump is not always evident. Deliveries carried out by persons with unclean hands or on a contaminated surface are also risk factors for maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). Tetanus is not transmissible from person to person.”
Since neonatal tetanus is primarily caused by unsanitary cutting of the umbilical cord, education on better cutting and care of the neonatal cord would seem to be both beneficial and cost effective.
Standard of Care for Neonatal Tetanus as described by the WHO does NOT include giving a tetanus vaccine, ONLY giving tetanus immune globulin (TIG):
“NT remains an important global public health problem, particularly in settings with high neonatal mortality and among some of the poorest and most marginalized subpopulations worldwide.”
“NT is a medical emergency requiring hospitalization, immediate treatment with human tetanus immune globulin (TIG), agents to control muscle spasm (preferred: benzodiazepines), and antibiotics (preferred: metronidazole or penicillin G). A single intramuscular dose of human TIG is recommended as soon as possible to prevent further progression of the disease. If TIG is not available, equine-derived antitoxin tetanus serum (ATS), can be given in a single intravenous dose, after testing for hypersensitivity. Alternatively, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) may be used.”
“The medical establishment chooses to turn a blind eye to the lack of solid scientific evidence to substantiate our faith in the tetanus shot.”
“When an old medical procedure of unknown effectiveness, such as the tetanus shot, has been the standard of medical care for a long time, finalizing its effectiveness via a modern rigorous placebo-controlled trial is deemed unethical in human research. Therefore, our only hope for the advancement of tetanus care is that further investigation of the ascorbic acid therapy is performed and that this therapy becomes available to tetanus patients around the world, if confirmed effective by rigorous bio-statistical standards.”
Tetanus incidence and mortality declined greatly before the widespread use of tetanus vaccine. (In excess of 99%)
The bacteria associated with tetanus is present virtually everywhere. However, when the human body does not present the bacteria a proper environment for growth, this constitutes a natural immunity to the tetanus bacteria.
The only preventives for tetanus are general good health and wound hygiene.
There is NO immunity to dirty wounds. Wound hygiene is essential.
Tetanus incidence in the vaccinated is about the same or higher than incidence in the unvaccinated.
Tetanus vaccine is not only ineffective but also toxic. It’s use causes numerous adverse side effects.
So, like all the other vaccine-related illnesses…is the illness truly rare, or are there simply lesser forms of it? Are vaccinated children truly protected from illness, or are parents and doctors too uninformed to recognize it?
“Five children aged five to 15 years contracted tetanus in Finland between 1969 and 1985, together with 101 adults. Four of the five had been adequately immunized against tetanus.”
“One half of an annual birth crop of the rhesus monkeys inoculated with tetanus toxoid at the age of one year had protective levels of tetanus antitoxin seven years post-inoculation. However, the immunization program had no significant effect on either the total or tetanus mortality rates during the study.”

The following 19 minute video explores the broad concept of terrain theory versus germ theory, the corona virus, the current experimental medical injection being widely promoted with an explanation of some of the ingredients, and the history of viruses as contagious from older books, papers, and experiments. I learned a lot. This is one of the best explanations of the flaws of germ theory succinctly explained that I have found. I’m not 100% sure that it’s 100% correct, but certainly worth a critical viewing.
Why you can’t catch a virus – great explanation
Critical thinking is about believing more true things and believing less false things. As we research medical and health claims we are often challenged by opinions, dogma, marketing, propaganda, and politics. Science has become a label but doesn’t always fit our understanding of the word. Most of us assume science is trustworthy. We assume science is based on clear evidence and fact. There are many excellent scientists seeking to understand, test, verify, and report on experiments. But there are also many using the term ‘science’ to support their business and marketing strategy.
Part of critical thinking is finding quality evidence. I found the evidence presented in the latter part of the video on early studies trying to show that polio and influenza were contagious very intriguing. Researchers went to extreme measures to try to transmit the virus from sick people to healthy, but failed to do so IN EVERY INSTANCE. You can read more about the experiments with Spanish Flu published on 2 August 1919 here. I find this particularly surprising in light of all we’ve heard in the media for the last 40 years or so, with heavier and heavier emphasis on infectious viruses in the last couple decades. In the video there is a reference to a documentary entitled Biochemistry Debunks Corona. In case you’d like to view more information, not only on corona but on pursuing true health, here it is: https://brandnewtube.com/v/xiqLrA
We may never know all the details that are at work behind the scenes in our brilliantly designed bodies. Exploring a variety of opinions and allowing ourselves to ask questions and consider answers is helpful before holding tightly to conclusions. Can you investigate two opposing ideas fully and fairly?
More and more health practitioners provide clear steps to health: reduce exposure to toxins, eat good clean food, get good sleep, get outdoors, find exercise you enjoy, maintain healthy relationships, and seek your Creator. Basically, reduce the yuk stuff of life, and add more clean stuff! The picture of the fish is a great illustration. ‘What can we do every day to help keep my environment clean?’ is a far better question than, ‘What sickness do I have and what drugs do I need to take to treat it?’
Another critically important question is, ‘If I’m healthy do I really need to inject this chemical concoction into my body to stay that way?’ You can explore more here.
Of course, ‘If my baby/child is healthy, do I need to inject him regularly according to a schedule designed by people with strong connections to an industry that profits from illness?’ is one of the most important questions a parent can consider. I’ve been researching and writing on this topic for years. I’ve collected information to help parents explore here.
Take your time. Explore evidence. Never make a decision on the basis of fear. The only fear we need is fear of God. When we truly fear God, we don’t fear anything else.

Go to https://www.openvaers.com/covid-data for weekly updates on reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System for the USA. Never before in the history of the pharmaceutical industry has one product caused so much death, injury, and disability. Since this product was given Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA the manufacturers and distributors are 100% liability free. When anyone suffers a serious adverse event there is no come back; no help to cover your medical costs.
Compare the following facts, remembering that the injection now being promoted is given to healthy people. The death rate is a small fraction of the people who were sick. What is the number of healthy people at no risk of illness or death?
Here is the VAERS data through 16 July 2021. This information is updated every Friday. Notice that the deaths have doubled from May 28 to July 2021 with over 11,000 deaths reported.
This information is critically important to know as you are making a fully informed decision for yourself or someone you love.

Perhaps you’ve heard something like this… “If you don’t accept this injection you can’t….”
visit your family member,
eat in the dining room,
participate in this specific life activity,
work here – ie keep your job. As in, if you don’t take it, you’re fired.
etc. etc. etc.
If you are facing any type of pressure to accept an injection, take some time to read this blog by Christian Elliot. His previous blog on the covid shot went viral. I did a summary of it here. In this new blog he discusses the aspect of facing pressure for refusing to take the shot. He provides links to legal resources which may help you. To read the entire blog (approximately 13 minutes), go here.
How to Overcome the Pressure to Get a Covid Vaccine
Recently a friend of mine who adamantly did NOT want to get a covid vaccine, did so anyway because of pressure from her peers and her employer.
For any of you who feel pressured to get a covid jab and feel like it’s becoming impossible to say no, I’ve got your back.
Before I’m done you will:
Understand why vaccine mandates and coercion are illegal.
Have a practical way to converse about your decision to opt-out.
Feel confident in your decision, and (I hope) feel emboldened to speak up.
At the end of his blog Christian links to a couple of great videos including this one which is an interview with three nurses who describe their incredible and horrific experience after receiving the injection pushed on them by their employers..
Keep well. Keep healthy. Boost your immune system. Injecting chemical cocktails in the hope of protection will never keep you healthy! Choose your food wisely, exercise, get outdoors in the sunshine, find a faith community, seek God – these are the paths to true health. AND, if you do get sick, remember, there are effective treatment options!

Dr Mike Yeadon, a UK scientist, has decades of experience in evaluating and developing drugs. He worked for Pfizer in drug development before launching his own own company. He has a wide range of experience and understanding of scientific research and drug development. While he appreciates innovation, he is unwavering in his commitment to SAFETY and demonstrates sincere compassion for the health and well-being of his fellow man.
During his unique career he developed a strong passion for identifying problems with the goal of understanding and providing an effective fix. He likes to figure out how to fix things when they are broken.
At the beginning of the corona news hitting the world in 2020 Mike Yeardon was concerned. Newly retired, he had time to devote to understanding the virus and the procedures that were being implemented by governments throughout the world. Initially he maintained his trust that government experts and the news media were sharing responsible true information to help protect the public. As an expert in inflammatory and allergic disease processes, his background gave him unique insights.
He was surprised at the information being produced and wrote several articles with respectful questions to his scientific peers. He was surprised at the lack of response. He found other doctors and researchers with questions and together they explored the actual threat of the virus and the worldwide seemingly coordinated government responses. They formed Doctors for COVID Ethics: “We are doctors and scientists from 30 countries, seeking to uphold medical ethics, patient safety and human rights in response to COVID-19.”
Dr Yeadon has made himself available for interviews and discussions attempting to ask important questions. Few media outlets are paying attention to the concerns he and other scientists have expressed. In this interview on 10 June 2021 with Del Bigtree of The Highwire, Dr Yeadon calmly explains his concerns and is given ample time to present them clearly. The interview starts at 1 hour and 30 minutes into this episode #219 of the weekly Highwire medical news presentation:
There is no need to fear the virus. The data is clear that the virus is not a threat to the majority of the population but has been overblown by the media. After evaluating all the scientific data Dr Yeadon’s only conclusion is that the governments and government ‘experts’ are deliberately presenting false information to the public. Described as malfeasance by Dr Peter McCullough, Dr Yeadon outlines specific lies that have been presented and invites all critics to prove him wrong:
The death rate has been overly exaggerated. The actual death rate is only slightly higher than season flu.
Effective treatment information has been purposefully suppressed. There are safe effective early treatment options available that are tested and endorsed by hundreds of doctors around the world.
The testing procedure has produced incorrect data. Actual positive tests are far lower than represented.
There is no evidence of asymptomatic spread – a person without symptoms cannot spread the virus. Thus, lockdowns and mask wearing are completely absurd and unnecessary.
The virus is not ‘novel’, variants are not significant, and immunity is strong and lasting. COVID is 80% similar to SARS of 2003 and 60% similar to the common cold. People who have experienced these infections have robust immunity to the current strain. Variants only differ by 0.3% and do not present a real threat. COVID recovered have lasting immunity. Anyone who has had an active infection should NOT get the product being pushed on the public and called a ‘vaccine‘. In fact, this group is more at risk for serious adverse reactions from this injection because of their previous infection.
The experimental nature of this mRNA technology has not been adequately studied for safety.
In this poignant interview Dr Yeadon expresses sincere emotion as he recounts his journey of understanding over the past 16 months or so. His only conclusion is that evil does exist in the world and there are people who absolutely know and understand the risk of harm being perpetuated on populations world-wide. He remains calm and demonstrates enormous courage in presenting his conclusions so clearly. His desire is to warn people of the huge threat we face: not the threat of a virus, but the very real threat of tyrants at the helm of health recommendations.
I encourage you to listen to this interview in full. All his statements are backed by solid evidence. He remains open to being wrong and is willing to look at any and all evidence that may contradict his conclusions. This demonstration of true humility and honesty is a rare combination. All truth seekers should decide for themselves who they choose to believe.

We all want health. Our biggest challenge is discerning HOW to achieve our goal in this age when we are bombarded with information and opinions – many of which are directly contradictory. Health is a topic I began to seriously explore after taking a course called Nutritional Chemistry in 1979. I found some reflections by another health seeker that I want to share. There are many voices that agree that true health and protection from illness will not come through an injection, but these voices are often muted in this age. Here are 18 Reasons I Won’t Be Getting a Covid Vaccine by Christian Elliot with some minor editing to condense it. For me, personally, number one and two are all I need to make this decision, but please read through the whole list. At the end I’ll add a couple more to consider.
A few friends have asked my thoughts the covid jab(s) so I thought it was time to write an article on the topic. Many were unfamiliar with most of the details I shared. I’ve put them together to share with a wider audience.
Knowing how contentious this issue is, part of me would rather just write about something else, but I feel like the discussion/news is so one-sided that I should speak up. As I always strive to do, I promise to do my best to be level-headed and non-hysterical.
I’m not here to pick a fight with anyone, just to walk you through some of what I’ve read, my lingering questions, and explain why I can’t make sense of these covid vaccines.
THREE GROUND RULES FOR DISCUSSION
If you care to engage on this topic with me, excellent. Here are the rules… I am more than happy to correspond with you if…
You are respectful and treat me the way you would want to be treated.
You ask genuinely thoughtful questions about what makes sense to you.
You make your points using sound logic and don’t hide behind links or the word “science.”
If you do respond, and you break any of those rules, your comments will be ignored/deleted. With that out of the way, let me say this… I don’t know everything, but so far no one has been able to answer the objections below.
So here are the reasons I’m opting out of the covid vaccine.
#1: VACCINE MAKERS ARE IMMUNE FROM LIABILITY
The only industry in the world that bears no liability for injuries or deaths resulting from their products, are vaccine makers.
First established in 1986 with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, and reinforced by the PREP Act, vaccine makers cannot be sued, even if they are shown to be negligent.
#2: THE CHECKERED PAST OF THE VACCINE COMPANIES
The four major companies who are making these covid vaccines are/have either:
Never brought a vaccine to market before covid (Moderna and Johnson & Johnson).
Are serial felons (Pfizer and Astra Zeneca).
Are both of the above (Johnson & Johnson).
Moderna had been trying to “Modernize our RNA” (thus the company name) for years, but had never successfully brought ANY product to market — how nice for them to get a major cash infusion from the government to keep trying.
In fact, all major vaccine makers (save Moderna) have paid out tens of billions of dollars in damages for other products they brought to market when then knew those product would cause injuries and death–see Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex, Thalidomide, and Opioids as a few examples.
If drug companies willfully choose to put harmful products in the market, when they can be sued, why would we trust any product where they have NO liability?
In case it hasn’t sunk in, let me reiterated…3 of the 4 covid vaccine makers have been sued for products they brought to market even though they knew injuries and deaths would result.
Astra Zeneca has similarly lost so many lawsuits it’s hard to count. Here’s one. Here’s another…you get the point. And in case you missed it, the company had their covid vaccine suspended in at least 18 countries over concerns of blood clots, and they completely botched their meeting with the FDA with numbers from their study that didn’t match.
Oh, and apparently J&J (whose vaccine is approved in the US) and Astrazenca (whose vaccine is not approved in the US), had a little mix up in their ingredients…in 15 million doses. Oops.
Let me reiterate this point:
Given the free pass from liability, and the checkered past of these companies, why would we assume that all their vaccines are safe and made completely above board? Where else in life would we trust someone with that kind of reputation?
To me that makes as much sense as expecting a remorseless, abusive, unfaithful lover to become a different person because a judge said deep down they are a good person.
No. I don’t trust trust them. No liability. No trust.
#3: THE UGLY HISTORY OF ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CORONAVIRUS VACCINES
In the 1960s, attempts to make a coronavirus vaccine killed children in human trials, in the 21st century (not making the mistake of skipping animal trials this time), attempts to make similar vaccines sickened or killed ALL of the ferrets in animal trials. All of them.
In both instances mentioned above, the children and the animals produced beautiful antibody responses after being vaccinated. They manufacturers thought they hit the jackpot. The problem came when the children and animals were exposed to the wild version of the virus.
When that happened, an unexplained phenomenon called Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) also known as Vaccine Enhanced Disease (VED) occurred where the immune system produced a “cytokine storm” (i.e. overwhelmingly attacked the body), and the children/animals died.
The vaccine makers have no data to suggest their rushed vaccines have overcome that problem.
#4: THE “DATA GAPS” SUBMITTED TO THE FDA BY THE VACCINE MAKERS
When vaccine makers submitted their papers to the FDA for the Emergency Use Authorization (Note: An EUA is not the same as a full FDA approval), among the many “Data Gaps” they reported was that they have nothing in their trials to suggest they overcame that pesky problem of Vaccine Enhanced Disease.
They simply don’t know–i.e. they have no idea if the vaccines they’ve made will also produce the same cytokine storm (and deaths) as previous attempts at such products.
If that’s not alarming enough, here are other gaps in the data–i.e. there is no data to suggest safety or efficacy regarding:
Anyone younger than age 18 or older than age 55
Pregnant or lactating mothers
Auto-immune conditions
Immunocompromised individuals
No data on transmission of covid
No data on preventing mortality from covid
No data on duration of protection from covid
Hard to believe right? In case you think I’m making this up, or want to see the actual documents sent to the FDA by Pfizer and Moderna for their Emergency Use Authorization, you can check out this, or this respectively. The data gaps can be found starting with page 46 and 48 respectively.
For now let’s turn our eyes to the raw data the vaccine makers used to submit for emergency use authorization.
#5: NO ACCESS TO THE RAW DATA FROM THE TRIALS
Would you like to see the raw data that produced the “90% and 95% effective” claims touted in the news? Me too… But they won’t let us see that data.
As pointed out in the BMJ, something about the Pfizer and Moderna efficacy claims smells really funny. There were
“3,410 total cases of suspected, but unconfirmed covid-19 in the overall study population, 1,594 occurred in the vaccine group vs. 1,816 in the placebo group.”
Wait…what? Did they fail to do science in their scientific study by not verifying a major variable Could they not test those “suspected but unconfirmed” cases to find out if they had covid?
Apparently not. Why not test all 3,410 participants for the sake of accuracy? We can only guess they didn’t test because it would mess up their “90-95% effective” claims. Where’s the FDA?
Would it not be prudent for the FDA, to expect (demand) that the vaccine makers test people who have “covid-like symptoms,” and release their raw data so outside, third-parties could examine how the manufacturers justified the numbers?
I mean it’s only every citizen of the world we’re trying to get to take these experimental products… Why did the FDA not require that? Isn’t that the entire purpose of the FDA anyway?
Good question. Foxes guarding the hen house? Seems like it.
No liability. No trust.
#6: NO LONG-TERM SAFETY TESTING
Obviously, with products that have only been on the market a few months, we have no long-term safety data. In other words, we have no idea what this product will do in the body months or years from now–for ANY population.
Given all the risks above (risks that ALL pharmaceutical products have), would it not be prudent to wait to see if the worst-case scenarios have indeed been avoided? Would it not make sense to want to fill those pesky “data gaps” before we try to give this to every man, woman, and child on the planet?
Well…that would make sense, but to have that data, they need to test it on people, which leads me to my next point…
#7: NO INFORMED CONSENT
What most who are taking the vaccine don’t know is that because these products are still in clinical trials, anyone who gets the shot is now part of the clinical trial. They are part of the experiment. Those (like me) who do not take it, are part of the control group.
Time will tell how this experiment works out.
#8: UNDER-REPORTING OF ADVERSE REACTIONS AND DEATH
According to a study done by Harvard (at the commission of our own government), less than 1% of all adverse reactions to vaccines are actually submitted to the National Vaccine Adverse Events Reports System (VAERS) – read page 6 at the link above.
While the problems with VAERS have not been fixed (as you can read about this letter to the CDC), at the time off this writing VEARS still reports over 2,200 deaths for the current covid vaccines, as well as close to 60,000 adverse reactions.
“VAERS data released today showed 50,861 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines, including 2,249 deaths and 7,726 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and March 26, 2021.”
#9: THE VACCINES DO NOT STOP TRANSMISSION OR INFECTION
Wait, what? Aren’t these vaccines supposed to be what we’ve been waiting for to “go back to normal”? Nope.
Why do you think we’re getting all these conflicting messages about needing to practice social distancing and wear masks AFTER we get a vaccine? The reason is because these vaccines were never designed to stop transmission OR infection. If you don’t believe me, I refer you again to the papers submitted to the FDA I linked to above.
The primary endpoint (what the vaccines are meant to accomplish) is to lower your symptoms. Sounds like just about every other drug on the market right?
That’s it…lowering your symptoms is the big payoff we’ve been waiting for. Does that seem completely pointless to anyone but me?
It can’t stop us from spreading the virus.
It can’t stop the virus from infecting us once we have it.
To get the vaccine is to accept all the risk of these experimental products and the best it might do is lower symptoms?
Heck, there are plenty of other things I can do to lower my symptoms that don’t involve taking what appears to be a really risky product?
Now for the next logical question:
If we’re worried about asymptomatic spreaders, would the vaccine not make it more likely that we are creating asymptomatic spread?
If it indeed reduces symptoms, anyone who gets it might not even know they are sick and thus they are more likely to spread the virus, right? For what it’s worth, I’ve heard many people say the side effects of the vaccine (especially the second dose) are worse than catching covid.
I can’t make sense of that either. Take the risk. Get no protection. Suffer through the vaccine side-effects. Keep wearing your mask and social distancing… And continue to be able to spread the virus.
#10: PEOPLE ARE CATCHING COVID AFTER BEING FULLY VACCINATED
Talk about a bummer. You get vaccinated and you still catch covid.
In reality, this phenomenon is probably happening everywhere, but those are the ones making the news now. Given the reasons above (and what’s below), maybe this doesn’t surprise you, but bummer if you thought the vaccine was a shield to keep you safe. It’s not. That was never the point.
If 66% of healthcare workers are going to delay or skip the vaccine…maybe they aren’t wowed by the rushed science either. Maybe they are watching the shady way deaths and cases are being reported…
#11: THE OVERALL DEATH RATE FROM COVID
According the the CDC’s own numbers, covid has a 99.74% survival rate.
Why would I take a risk on a product, that doesn’t stop infection or transmission, to help me overcome a cold that has a .26% chance of killing me–actually in my age range is has about a 0.1% chance of killing me (and .01% chance of killing my kids), but let’s not split hairs here.
With a bar (death rate) that low, we will be in lockdown every year…i.e. forever. But wait, what about the 500,000 plus deaths, that’s alarming right?
#12: THE BLOATED COVID DEATH NUMBERS
Something smells really funny about this one. Never before in the history of death certificates has our own government changed how deaths are reported. Why now, are we reporting everyone who dies with covid in their body, as having died of covid, rather than the co-morbidities that actually took their life?
Until covid, all coronaviruses (common colds) were never listed as the primary cause of death when someone died of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, auto-immune conditions, or any other major co-morbidity. The disease was listed as the cause of death, and a confounding factor like flu or pneumonia was listed on a separate line.
To bloat the number even more, both the W.H.O. and the C.D.C. changed their guidelines such that those who are suspected or probable (but were never confirmed) of having died of covid, are also included in the death numbers.
Seriously? If we are going to do that then should we not go back and change the numbers of all past cold and flu seasons so we can compare apples to apples when it comes to death rates?
According to the CDCs own numbers, (scroll down to the section “Comorbidities and other conditions”) only 6% of the deaths being attributed to covid are instances where covid seems to be the only issue at hand.
In other words, reduce the death numbers you see on the news by 94% and you have what is likely the real numbers of deaths from just covid.
Even if the former CDC director is correct and covid-19 was lab-enhanced virus, a .26% death rate is still in line with the viral death rate that circles the planet ever year.
Then there’s this Fauci guy.
I’d really love to trust him, but besides the fact that he hasn’t treated one covid patient…and you should probably know…
#13: FAUCI AND SIX OTHERS AT NIAID OWN PATENTS IN THE MODERNA VACCINE
Thanks to the Bayh-Dole Act, government workers are allowed to file patents on any research they do using tax payer funding.
Tony Fauci owns over 1,000 patents, including patents being used on the Moderna vaccine…which he approved government funding for. Does anyone else see this as a MAJOR conflict of interest, or criminal even?
And then there’s this pesky problem…
#14: THE VIRUS CONTINUES TO MUTATE
Not only does the virus (like all viruses) continue to mutate, but according to world-renown vaccine developer Geert Vanden Bossche (who you’ll meet below if you don’t know him) it’s mutating about every 10 hours.
How in the world are we going to keep creating vaccines to keep up with that level of mutation?
We’re not. Might that also explain why fully vaccinated people are continuing to catch covid?
Why, given that natural immunity has never ultimately failed humanity, do we suddenly not trust it?
Why, if I ask questions like the above, or post links like what you find above, will my thoughts be deleted from all major social media platforms?
That brings me to the next troubling problem I have with these vaccines.
#16: CENSORSHIP…AND THE COMPLETE ABSENCE OF SCIENTIFIC DEBATE
I can’t help but get snarky here, so humor me.
How did you enjoy all those nationally and globally-televised, robust debates put on by public health officials, and broadcast simultaneously on every major news station?
Wasn’t it great hearing from the best minds in medicine, virology, epidemiology, economics, and vaccinology from all over the world as they vigorously and respectfully debated thingslike:
Lockdowns
Mask wearing
Social-distancing
Vaccine efficacy and safety trials
How to screen for susceptibility to vaccine injury
Wasn’t it great seeing public health officials (who never treated anyone with covid) have their “science” questioned.
Wasn’t it great seeing the FDA panel publicly grill the vaccine makers in prime time as they stood in the hot-seat of tough questions about products of which they have no liability?
When did the first amendment become a suggestion? It’s the FIRST amendment Mark–the one our founders thought was most important. With so much at stake, why are we fed only one narrative…shouldn’t many perspectives be heard and professionally debated?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SCIENCE?
What has happened to the scientific method of always challenging our assumptions?
What happened to lively debate in this country, or at least in Western society? Why did anyone who disagrees with the WHO, or the CDC get censored so heavily?
Is the science of public health a religion now, or is science supposed to be about debate?
If someone says “the science is settled” that’s how I know I’m dealing with someone who is closed minded.
By definition science (especially biological science) is never settled.
If it was, it would be dogma, not science.
OK, before I get too worked up, let me say this… I WANT TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN I really do.
If lockdowns work, I want to do my part and stay home.
If masks work, I want to wear them.
If social distancing is effective, I want to comply.
But, if there is evidence they don’t, I want to hear that evidence too. If highly-credentialed scientists have different opinions, I want to know what they think? I want a chance to hear their arguments and make up my own mind. I don’t think I’m the smartest person in the world, but I think I can think. Maybe I’m weird, but if someone is censored, then I REALLY want to hear what they think.
Don’t you?
To all my friends who don’t have a problem with censorship, will you have the same opinion when what you think is censored? Is censorship not the technique of dictators, tyrants, and greedy, power-hungry people? Is it not a sign that those who are doing the censoring know it’s the only way to win? What if a man who spent his entire life developing vaccines was willing to put his entire reputation on the line and call on all global leaders to immediately stop the covid vaccines because of problems with the science? What if he pleaded for an open-scientific debate on a global stage? Would you want to hear what he has to say? Would you want to see the debate he’s asking for?
#17: A WORLD LEADING VACCINOLOGIST IS SOUNDING THE ALARM…
Here is what may be the biggest reason this covid vaccine doesn’t make sense to me.
When someone who is very pro-vaccine, who has spent his entire professional career overseeing the development of vaccines, is shouting from the mountaintops that we have a major problem, I think the man should be heard.
Why the covid vaccine may be putting so much pressure on the virus that we are accelerating it’s ability to mutate and become more deadly.
Why the covid vaccines may be creating vaccine-resistant viruses (similar to anti-biotic resistant bacteria).
Why, because of previous problems with Antibody Dependent Enhancement, we may be looking at a mass casualty event in the next few months/years.
If half of what he says comes true, these vaccines could be the worst invention of all time. If you don’t like his science, take it up with him. I’m just the messenger.
But I can also speak to covid personally.
#18: I ALREADY HAD COVID
I didn’t enjoy it. It was a nasty cold for two days:
Unrelenting butt/low-back aches
Very low energy.
Low-grade fever.
It was weird not being able to smell anything for a couple days. A week later, coffee still tasted a little “off.” But I survived.
Now it appears (as it always has) that I have beautiful, natural, life-long immunity…not something likely to wear off in a few months if I get the vaccine. In my body, and my household, covid is over.
In fact, now that I’ve had it, there is evidence the covid vaccine might actually be more dangerous for me. That is not a risk I’m willing to take.
IN SUMMARY
The above are just my reasons for not wanting the vaccine. Maybe my reasons make sense to you, maybe they don’t. Whatever does makes sense to you, hopefully we can still be friends.
I for one think there’s a lot more that we have in common that what separates us.
We all want to live in a world of freedom.
We all want to do our part to help others and to live well.
We all want the right to express our opinions without fearing we’ll be censored or viciously attacked.
We all deserve to have the access to the facts so we can make informed decisions.
Agree or disagree with me; I’ll treat you no differently. You’re a human just as worthy of love and respect as anyone else. For that I salute you, and I truly wish you all the best.
I hope you found this helpful. If so, feel free to share.
If not, feel free to (kindly) let me know what didn’t make sense to you and I’d be happy to hear your thoughts too.
Stay curious and stay humble.
Until next time,
Christian Elliot
PS. If you think I studied this topic well, think about how much thought I would put into helping you with your health. Helping people with their health is what I do all day, every day.
If you have read attentively this far, you might have noticed that there is no #15! I’m waiting to hear from Christian about that one! Meantime, here are some more reasons I can think of on why accepting this shot is probably not the best idea. I’d love to know if you have some unique reasons that aren’t presented here!
There are effective treatment options both to prevent and heal from this infection that are safe.
The death rate is extremely low, nowhere near what was initially projected. If you want to know for sure, phone your local mortuary or funeral home and ask them if 2020 was a big year for the death industry, or was it similar to previous years.
Most of the ‘vaccines’ (which perhaps should be called gene therapy) require extremely low temperatures from the time of manufacture to delivery into a body. How do we know for certain the injection coming into an arm has been properly stored? That is a lot of faith and trust in a supply chain, never mind in the manufacturing process that is rushing millions of doses around the world.
The amount of hype and fear used to push this product on the public should raise serious red flags.
Threats of not being allowed to engage in certain activities if you do not accept this shot, combined with promised rewards such as ‘life can only get back to normal’ if you do get this shot seem a lot like manipulation. Do a little research on manipulation techniques – strategies used by military and predators for decades.
My body is God’s temple. He designed every part – including the incredible amazing immune system. Injecting experimental liability free substances with a hope of ‘protection’ or ‘freedom’ does not seem the best way to honor and worship God. In fact, it seems more like idolatry.
I’d love to hear your reasons. Really, we don’t need that many reasons. But we do need to examine this issue rationally.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming; and now it is already in the world. 4 Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.5 They are from the world; therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and whoever is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. 15 God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God. 16 So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. 17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.
