What science do I trust; Toronto Caribbean Newspaper’s Vaccine Update – What is happening around the world
BY SIMONE J. SMITH
You see, this is the issue; as Africans living in the Americas, we have had to put up with a great deal of degradation, racism, segregation, brutality, murder, colonialism, and the list goes on and on. The effects of this treatment have been passed down intergenerationally, and many of us do not have faith in the system, even if it is our own telling us to “Trust the government; they are here to help us.”
I want to let those who have chosen to become inoculated, to know that there is a reason that you do feel hesitant. It is not just a mistrust of the medical system (a system that has experimented on Black people for years), but also a mistrust of institutions. There are a lot of reasons for Black people to be very hesitant about this warp speed vaccination that has been largely forced on us through: coercion, fear, and propaganda.
I have been covering this pandemic since its genesis, and I have had to deal with a lot of naysayers, and critics who tell me that I have chosen the wrong fight. They have told me to stick to what I know (education and psychology), and to use my platform to encourage people to get vaccinated so that life can return back to normal.
There is one issue …
We have all been told to trust the science, and I keep asking, “Which science do I trust?” There is the science that is being propagated on mainstream media, telling me that the vaccine is safe, and effective. Then there is the information that is not so readily shared, that tells a different story. In this article, I am going to share with you some information that has not been spoken about on: CNN, BBC, Fox News, CP24 or CTV. These are stories from people who have been largely silenced. It is important that these stories are shared so that YOU can decide if what is happening is ethical.
Paradoxical Immune Enhancement Phenomenon
Pathogenic priming likely contributes to serious and critical illness and mortality in COVID-19 via autoimmunity
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7142689/
“Paradoxical immune enhancement phenomenon’ means vaccinated people may still develop the disease, get sicker and die.” Dr. Peter Hotez
This is yet another doctor who in the early days of COVID-19 testified against the perils of rushing the development of a vaccine against it. He mentioned that there were some unique safety issues posed by this type of vaccine, and these issues had been seen by scientists half a century ago when there had been work done with a vaccine against RSV. During these trials, the vaccines failed to prevent infections, and 80% of the children infected needed to be hospitalized.
Dr Hotez asserted that unintended consequences of pathogenesis from vaccines are not new, nor are they unexpected. They are unanticipated only if those who develop them do not include available knowledge in their formulation plan.
Before you line up to get your vaccine, I want you to know that science shows that one potential issue that is being largely glossed over, is the alarming evidence that pathogenic priming is happening, which means that vaccinated people can still get the disease and may actually end up getting sicker from it.
Adverse Reaction Report (MHRA, United Kingdom)
“The number of adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines reported to the MHRA, totalling 1,037,376, is 17.25 times higher than the number of adverse reactions reported to the MHRA to all other vaccines approved since 2010.”
An investigative journalist by the name of Duncan Husband made a freedom of information request on May 29th, 2021, to the MHRA. He asked the MHRA to provide a list of all new vaccines in the UK between 2010 and 2020 and to also provide the number of deaths, per vaccine, per month for the same time frame. The MHRA fulfilled the FOI request on June 29th 2021 and provided a full list of all approved vaccines and a vaccine analysis print for each type of vaccine excluding the Adacel jab which the MHRA claim they do not have any reports on. What it did was reveal how deadly the COVID-19 vaccine are.
It showed that the number of deaths due to the COVID-19 vaccines reported to the MHRA, totalled 1,440, which is over five times higher than the number of deaths reported to the MHRA as adverse reactions to all other vaccines approved since 2010.
Hair Loss and Alopecia
A young Japanese woman, known as Ayapipipiii, posted a blog on the July 31st, documenting her extreme hair loss following vaccination. She wrote that she received the first dose of Moderna’s experimental jab on June 29th, 2021, and felt pain in her arm and weakness, but did not develop a fever.
The next day, she noticed that she had lost a lot of hair and had developed a rash, which she dismissed at the time as due to changes in the weather. It was when she was washing her hair the following day that she noticed that the drain hole had clogged with hair and there was more of her hair on the floor. By July 7th, 2021, just a little more than a week after her vaccination, Ayapipipiii photographed three round bald spots on her head.
On July 13th, 2021, she noticed when she awoke that her pillow was covered with hair. By the July 17th, she described feeling the wind on her scalp for the first time in her life. Concerned she sought medical attention on July 21st, 2021, and by July 30th, she was almost entirely bald.
More than 800 people have reported hair loss and alopecia following COVID-19 jabs to the U.S. government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VigiBase, the WHO global database of reported potential side effects of medicinal products, has logged 1,693 reports of autoimmune alopecia, mostly from the US and Europe.
Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons
Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33882218/
A report was released in October 2021, and it shared that pregnant persons in the United States are receiving messenger RNA (mRNA) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, but data is limited on their safety in pregnancy.
The study commenced on December 14th, 2020, and ran through to February 28th, 2021. They used data from the: v-safe after vaccination health checker surveillance system, the v-safe pregnancy registry, and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) to characterize the initial safety of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines in pregnant persons.
The preliminary findings did not show obvious safety signals among pregnant persons who received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. They did mention that more longitudinal follow-up is needed, including follow-up of large numbers of women vaccinated earlier in pregnancy. It is disturbing to know that they are pushing pregnant women to take this vaccine, knowing that they are unsure of exactly how it will affect them.
The Israeli People’s Committee Report of Adverse Events Related to the Corona Vaccine
“Never has a vaccine injured so many.”
The Israeli People’s Committee is an independent investigative group that comprises medical, legal, and epidemiological expertise. In April 2021, they released a summary report on the experience of mass experimental vaccinations in Israel, which uses the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. According to the authors, the compilation of the report was severely hampered by obstruction on the part of government authorities. One way they obstructed was by shutting down all monitoring and tracking systems for adverse events.
What they found was that the overall mortality in the January-February vaccination period was higher in 2021 than in any other year within the preceding decade. In the age group of 20–29 years, mortality in this time period exceeded that of the previous year by 32%.
There were 288 deaths overall, mostly within the first ten days after vaccination. This number is more than six times greater than the forth-fivee deaths officially admitted to by the health ministry.
Adverse Reaction Report from the Western Australian Police Force
Ms. Uren is a thirty-seven-year-old police officer for the Western Australian Police Force (WAPOL). She reported that the police force mandated vaccines for all personnel in August. Ms Uren was clear that she was not an anti-vaxxer, but she was hesitant due to lack of sufficient information on them. Ms Uren was also concerned about how the shots were rushed to the market.
Despite her reluctance, Ms Uren received her first Pfizer mRNA injection sometime in late August. Immediately after, she began to experience vertigo, nausea and hives all within fifteen minutes of taking the vaccine. The next day, she had a 103-degree (39.7 Celsius) fever, more hives, and more nausea. For the next four weeks, Ms Uren suffered persistent hives, fevers, vomiting, diarrhea, and a debilitating cough.
In mid-September she said her eyes “felt weird” one Tuesday morning. So, she took an antihistamine before driving to work. When she arrived at work, a co-worker told her that her face was “drooping sideways.”
She immediately went to the emergency room. She woke up the next morning in the hospital, only to collapse in the shower. Doctors discovered that the “main artery” from her heart to brain ruptured. She also suffered a transient ischemic attack also known as a stroke.
Believe me when I say, there are so many reports that I was not able to mention. Our job at the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper is to ensure that our community is equipped, educated, and empowered to make decisions for themselves and their family.
