I often feel compelled to offer alternative viewpoints on, for example, covid-19 since it seems that the mainstream media mainly just parrots what it hears from government institutions and organizations proven to be controlled by big pharma. Perhaps we can’t force a public debate that would air all viewpoints on the science, but at least listeners to my radio show and readers of this newsletter/blog may be individually protected by knowing that there are these questions…and possibly having useful answers that the average person does not.

Covid Quandaries

Can we believe the pandemic death rate statistics? The short answer is “No”. In most cases, people die “with corona virus” rather than “from coronavirus”. It is easier to understand why numbers might be artificially inflated when you know two powerful motivations for running up the total:

• Most people who allegedly die from covid-19 do so in a hospital. If patients are tested and found to be positive for the coronavirus, that label follows them into all the statistics, including death. It is a big deal that hospitals are paid more for covid-19 patients than other ailments. Someone who is about to die of pneumonia, heart failure or Parkinson’s disease will be counted as having died of the virus. Isn’t this a classic case of “follow the money”?
• The establishment (government, medical community, would be world controllers) is happy to have people people very frightened because they will more likely comply with the anticipated vaccine push as well as relinquish other freedoms. Motorcycle injuries, heart attacks, hip fracture complications and gunshot wounds are examples of deaths illogically mislabeled as “coronavirus”. These examples are from Palm Beach County, Florida and were reported by the CBS affiliate there. Video

How safe and effective will the vaccine be? The short answer is “no one knows.” First, we should remember that existing vaccines for other diseases are not 100% effective or safe.

• • For example, according to the CDC, effectiveness of the annual flu shot can be as low as 10% in 2004 to 19% in 2014 and a high of 60% in the  2010 season. The average for 15 years is about 40%. Rates are best in years when the virus type has not mutated into a bad match and flu shots are more protective of healthy adults aged 18 to 46. The vaccines are much less effective in the elderly for reasons mentioned below. And remember that there were financial incentives to skewing those statistics in a positive direction.
  • The fact that the US government pays out a lot of money from its National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to compensate citizens for vaccine injury is a clue to vaccine safety. There is more information and resources about on the vaccine page in our Library.
  • The covid-19 vaccine search has been on an unprecedented fast track (“Operation Warp Speed”) to approval. There are issues:
    1. As discussed in this ChildrensHealthDefense.org article, some of the prime contenders “use never-before-approved [emphasis added] messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, an experimental approach designed to turn the body’s cells into viral-protein-making factories.”
    2. That same article noted that: “mRNA vaccines undergoing Covid-19 clinical trials, including the Moderna vaccine, rely on a nanoparticle-based “carrier system” containing a synthetic chemical called polyethylene glycol (PEG). The use of PEG in drugs and vaccines is increasingly controversial due to the well-documented incidence of adverse PEG-related immune reactions, including life-threatening anaphylaxis. Roughly seven in ten Americans may already be sensitized to PEG, which may result in reduced efficacy of the vaccine and an increase in adverse side effects.” Keep in mind that federal law protects drug makers from being sued for their mistakes.
    3. An article in the journal Chemistry World, describes some of the other potential side effects that will not be fully understood before release of the vaccines—for example: “One potential adverse event is antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), a type of immune reaction where vaccination makes subsequent exposure to the virus more dangerous.
    4. Folks over age 65 typically respond poorly to vaccines. That is for the same reason that they suffer more severe cases of the flu—i.e. their immune systems are not strong enough. We talk about that situation on the radio show, especially with Bill Sardi. He advises us to make sure that we have adequate levels of the minerals zinc and selenium plus the vitamins D and C. In fact, virtually all the diet and lifestyle subjects we cover on Healthy by Nature help to strengthen immune response one way or another. But, do not expect to hear about these inexpensive alternatives from the TV networks which are funded by roughly 4 billion dollars a year in drug company advertising.
