I am extremely concerned, especially about the blood clotting. It's been obvious to me from the beginning that these vaccines would do this, especially in people who are low in zinc as zinc regulates blood clotting and platelet function. I have a doctor friend who I believe is suffering from this condition right now, having severe headaches and high blood pressure ever since taking the Pfizer shots. This new JAMA article should lift everybody's eyebrows and demand a stop to mandating these so-called vaccines (be sure and study the graphs):

Extreme Concern! I have yet to find a prescriber that can fully explain the pathophysiology and mechanism of action if any of the mRNA vaccines. How can informed consent be possible? if the administrator can not even answer the most basic questions? I as a medical provider cannot post the government’s own data to my friends and family on Facebook or Twitter. There is no longer a question of concern.


My employer and future employers will likely see this! I’ve already been threatened. I don’t care anymore! I will be glad to leave healthcare, and probably already have. Why can’t people share and discuss negative events on social media? I understand false information and medical advice. But myself and colleagues are banned! I can’t even participate with helping people understand. For posting cdc links, peer reviews papers, all blocked from public view by people with no medical training whatsoever.


I personally have a genetic blood disorder, I have yet to find a doctor that can confidently give me a probability of adverse reaction. I have no information to base my own decision. I shouldn’t have to explain to my employer why? What? I’m trusted to solve the most critical patients with little to know history. I’m used to it. And I can’t even make it for myself. Pressure from everywhere , loss of freedom to go places! Accommodations, to where a mask as a punishment! So it is clear to everyone you either disagree with the masses or have a disability. Has anybody considered the consequences of wearing a face covering on a 24 hr shift? I can tell you what capnography proves. I can show changes in My before/after shift EKG. That at least tangible and not based on models.


I ask, how do we really know the numbers of reactions. The CDC is reported to claim the vars data is not good. The manufacture has no idea, my doctor has no idea, how are we even ethically able to advise our patient when we don’t even know ourselves? When I look to history, all I see is Nuremberg! But the difference is explicit immunity for everyone but me the clinician.


What are the manufactures recommendation to treat adverse reactions. This is my first experience having patients ask me for help and I have no answers. Does Poison control have any data? What’s even more concerning is the history of the manufactures themselves before immunity protection. How can we miss the non stop commercials from attorneys “ Have you been injured?” Can we really expect manufactures to be vigilant in the creation when they have no skin in the game, a purchase contract full of disclaimers? And now with the data and treatments known. Can we even justify emergency use anymore? We have found great treatments! Why change all the rules mid game? Why, are alternative treatments almost impossible, declared unsafe? How did they know? On a positive note, at least we won’t be hounded by the late night attorney advertisements to remind us of this!


No, I think I’m gonna go turn a wrench somewhere. I wonder what the stress level is for a welder? I wonder how long my comment will even stay here? I better screen grab it before I hit post! I have many more questions and I’m fully aware of the consequences for asking. I’ve also seen what how my fellow providers are treated as they get sick before or after vaccination. 117 is the number of suicides for every 17 adverse reactions by my personal observation. But nobody even speaks about that out loud. My filter has been off! But all the major social platforms keep it hush hush!

But I digress,

I'm a 35+ year critical care RN. Now doing dementia care. I have a woman who is permanently disabled from GB, and her PCP approved the jabs. (I refuse to call it a vaccine because it is not, by any definition). She has nerve pain in her back and legs that has progressed continually since the jabs. I have also noted that a disproportionate number of residents have tremor now. And anecdotally, there is an increase in violent outbursts. Correlation does not equal causation, but I am wondering.

I had Covid in January. It was not severe enough to require hospitalization, I just felt very ill. I got Moderna vaccine April 14th. I started feeling really bad shortly thereafter. I could not sleep at night, and had a very serious discomfort on the left side, near heart. Went to ER. D-dimer, alkaline phosphate and liver enzymes were elevated! CT scan revealed no blood clots. Had left pole calculus, cyst on ovary, and a retrolisthesis L2 L3. These findings were all new.

My PC Dr. said I was suffering from a hyperinflammatory state, and needed to do everything I could to strengthen my immune system. He instructed me to see a Rheumatologist if I did not start feeling better. So far, I am improving.

@Melanie Mitchell I'm so sorry to hear of your issues. Have you watched the video with Dr. Charles Hoffe in it, where he talks about elevated d-dimers? Essentially that test illustrates clotting activity and he says that this clotting is occurring at microscopic levels in the capillaries, which is why imaging is not picking it up. He said over time as this clotting continues and enough capillaries are blocked off, it results in pulmonary hypertension, then heart failure...timeline: 3 years. A link to hear this

You should research things you can take to help with the clotting issue. Here's one link I thought sounded promising:

Thank you for this information, Colleen Krause. I intend on monitoring it closely.

My d-dimer was only moderately elevated, and it is my understanding that it is due to my current inflammatory state. Meaning, when my immune system is no longer overwhelmed, the inflammation will cease to be a problem, which will alleviate the elevated d-dimer.

Colleen Krause, II would also like to mention, I have no exercise intolerance whatsoever, CRP was never elevated. I am not suggesting that Dr. Hoffe's claims are without merit, but I do not believe that everyone or even 50% of those who got the Moderna Vaccine, had an elevated d-dimer will die in 3 years. A solid 25% of those who had Covid had an elevated d-dimer after recovery, even without the Vaccine.

I realize that I am only one person, and experiences with the Vaccines are very individual.

Bacteria and fungi were the real killers in 1918 flu pandemic and that is the same right now (prevotella for instance).

Periodontopathic bacteria are implicated in systemic inflammation, bacteraemia, and pneumonia.

Bacterial co-infections are the cause for a lot of severe covid cases, this is often overlooked...

@Nancy Pattyn @Bob sebob I wonder, if the PCR tests can differentiate between all the other corona viruses. Can we not just do what we’ve always done with titer testing? Why is it not even an option for all of us that had a positive diagnosis? The health department says that’s sufficient for rabies!


Am I missing something? Is covid-19 not a variant of the coronavirus responsible for common colds? Or is that a mutation? I’ve read the conflicting studies on lab manipulation, who is going to prove who wrong?


Between Dr Malone, and Dr Fouchi who really is expert? Malone was on Bannon WR today saying general from the DOD are “calling out of the blue!” He has so much to say, but he can only go on a few shows! The supposed inventor of the mRNA tech has many questions too!


We are supposed to trust these expert in everything news anchors repeat the same things. But cut to commercial the moment someone goes of script with a question? Why can’t the disagreeing doctors debate?


Why is autopsy findings confirming blood brain barrier leaks? And spike protein in every type of cell. That was promised to not be possible. But several studies confirm

Since when did we vaccinate following a positive infection diagnosis. Why a third round when double vax pt was promised life would go back to normal, “just take it”.

I can definitely speak about what I observe, what I document, what others are documenting, I can’t think of one person I have come in contact with with a +covid pcr. That has not had at least one dose of vax personally.

2. The organism must be isolated from the diseased host and grown in culture.

3. The disease must be reproduced when a pure culture of the organism is introduced into a healthy, susceptible host.

Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings | CDC

TOO ALL READ THIS NOW! Green Zones considerations to separate individuals at high risk from the low risk. If allowed this policy would literally move your loved one to a camp/sector/ of 5-10 homes or schools/community buildings in the neighborhood or your home becomes the Green Zone and you can only enter under certain conditions. Literally families would be required to swap homes. Do not take my word for it, go to the site. Each green zone should include able-bodied high risks persons that will take care of residents with disabilities and be responsible for cleaning and maintenance. At face value shielding concept sounds very humanitarian, but at what personal expense and will private property be commandeered to achieve these radical solutions? I understand the concepts, but this is very disorienting for the elderly and a radical step into dystopia. Yes I AM CONCERNED, thus this posting.

What do you think? Please be kind in your reply, I am high risk and wish to be left in my own home.

But you can see how it could be changed to apply...

@Sally Quinn @s j Yes Sally there is a reference to displaced populations, but with further review there is a very clear reference to neighboring households swapping homes, use of schools and community buildings, whereas much of the 3rd world facilities are not in one's neighborhoods. The paper does mention some specific countries, but only in reference to the difficulty of establishing the proposed shielding due to some of the locations that have lack of facility support services and unreliable access to required resources for such an operation. Just exactly where in the article does it say it, "is not applicable to the USA?" Under "Population characteristics and demographics," the plan cites the challenges due to age, high risk, medical diagnosis, and multiple nationalities in some countries, which is merely pointing out what considerations will be required in some regions of the world. In our region of the world my relatives in BC, Canada have not been able to travel right outside of their own their own neighborhoods merely from West Vancouver to Burnaby or Vancouver Island. This lockdown has just now been lifted. There are different mandates that are not called, "green zones," but "lockdown zones," that are alive and well where families are being separated with threat of fines and arrest just north of our border. My 88 year old mother-in-law in Canada has not been able to see us for 18 months due to these onerous mandates required to leave and return her country for travel to the US, nor can my spouse visit without quarantining for 2 weeks and a determination would be reviewed to decide if he could stay with his own mother due to her high risk status. Again, it may not ne called a green zone, but in many ways it is far worse for some of us dealing with these issues that many people are unaware of. Previous to lifting some of the Canadian travel mandates a review was required to determine if one could return to ones own home, depending on who else lived in the home! What? Additionally a 3 day hotel stay with testing was required that cost over $2000.00 out of pocket to pass GO! Yes, there are many zones, but we just have to have eyes to see.

I am concerned. I feel terrible for the patients that get the vaccines because they are trying to be a good citizen and help society then are stuck with debilitating conditions and have a hard time getting help. I feel like these people need a voice and they need help. I don't think doctors and nurses like myself really know what to do to help them. I think alot of doctors don't belive that their problems are caused by the vaccine and are not reporting it to VAERS. The vaccine companies have no liability and these poor people have to foot the bill to try to get better. They put there trust and lives in the hands of these government officials who don't care about them at all. Sometimes they have to wait months to see specialists and then there is a lack of knowledge and information about how to help them. I think we have to acknowledge that these problems exist and put energy into helping the vaccine injured people. Also we need to find treatments and not disregard potential treatments just because they are inexpensive and no money can be made off them.

One unvaxxed pt reported that after spending 5 days with 2 vaxxed house guests, her menstrual cycle came (atypically) one week early. She c/o fatigue, cramping, heavy bleeding x 2 weeks. Her cycle had been normal since menarche. 3 weeks later she experienced the same. I treated her as per Dr. Christiane Northrup advised: lavender organic laundry soap in a hot bath infused with alfalfa.

Additionally, I ground fennel seeds for the shikimic acid, making a tea. She drank ~3 quarts of this infusion. I also recommended pine essential oil topically and alfalfa tablets orally. This was somewhat out of my zone as a Registered Dietitian but none of the above could cause harm. As of today, 5 months later, pt cycle has returned to normal.

I'm hoping that most people posting have read the full Pfizer protocol and FDA review for the EUA. If not, it's worth a read. One of the reasons that physicians may not be associating adverse events, like strokes, seizures, neurological issues, blood clots, etc., is that Pfizer ran almost no bloodwork during their studies. During their single phase I trial of 30 subjects they only did basic hematology and chemistry, showing transient decreases in lymphocytes. As per Good Laboratory Practices, Phase 1-3, pre and post drug bloodwork is critical and encompasses hematology, chemistry, inflammatory biomarkers, pharmacodynamics/pharmacokinetics, specialty markers like D-dimer, etc. This was not done. In their single Phase 2, which was simply the first 360 subjects enrolled, the remaining 39,640 (roughly) were considered as Phase 3, there was no blood work, other than immunogenicity, at all. How then can Pfizer or any physician know if an adverse effect is caused by the vaccine? We have no data on how the liver, kidney, vascular system, etc., is affected. Do pre and post D-dimer on your patients and see what you find. Also, there was an increased incidence of appendicitis during the study.

Of note, out of the almost 19,000 in the vaccine group, the median age m/f was 50/51, with only 4% being >75 yrs old and 53% having no comorbidities. This, as you know, does not match the at risk groups at all.

In order to issue an EUA, 2 basic things must be present: an emergency and no other potential treatment. Now, look back over the last 18 months and see how often any mention of potential treatment was immediately shot down and is now being censored. Why? That is what keeps me up late at night.

40 year+ exp retired RN here My mother, a retired nurse died AFTER she had one problem after the other problem, within days of getting the 2nd vax.

She was walking with a cane, playing her guitar daily and singing...although suffering from Sjogrens and dementia. She walked in Walmart and helped Dad do the shopping. She called me every other day BY HERSELF. She needed medication monitoring and minimal assistance bathing to prevent falls.

Then the 2nd vax. She became extremely confused within days. Asked me if she was going to survive this. I didn't know what "this" was at the time. I did not know my parents were called by their insurance company and told them a vax clinic was close by at a high school in their rural area. NO ONE ASKED HER DR if this was ok to do. Her rheumatologist and cardiologist was 80 miles away. Dad said that he told them her history but they said she was good to take the vax. Parents thought because the insurance company called them it was OK with their Drs.

Then she shows my Dad coughed up blood clots. Said she felt like she was having "little strokes". Rural clinic said she had pneumonia on Xray. Didn't seem to think she needed head CT. Sent her home on antibiotics. Confusion worsened. Pneumonia seemed to get better. Then back pain. Then unable to walk and unable to even get out of bed to bedside commode. Confusion and hallucinations. Transported to hospital 80 miles away. Kidney infection. OKAY that made sense for increased confusion. Infection got better, but increased white matter and ischemic brain changes...but no CVA noted. No hemiparalysis or weakness. Transferred to rehab week later. This is week 3 after vax. Couldn't participate. Confusion and refused all food. Hospice ordered. Just due to her brain changes. She had NO infection and her GFR was of a 20 year old. She had only small changes to her labs. Nothing screamed some sort of infection or cancer. Just what one might see if undernourished elderly person who ate almost nothing since her vax. 46 days AFTER she was in hospital...she died.

Mom was active prior to her trip to get the 2md vax. She was pleasantly confused...occasionally very confused WHEN she had flareups due to illnesses IN THE PAST. She NEVER recovered her mental faculties after the 2nd vax. Of course...it was said this was due to her autoimmune disease they say. NOT the vax. But was it the vax that triggered her? Who knows? NO ONE cares to know.

Since 1995...Im being treated for autoimmune Hashimotos. Was stable on 0.125 synthroid. 6weeks after 1st Pfizer vaccine, severe hyperthyroidism with TSH of 0.10!!! Had to reduce...and stop synthroid. Now I've slowly increases to 0.05. Soon to go for blood test. When I was off Synthroid for 3 weeks ..TSH jumped to 70....doctors were staring at me ...at 12...in 1995...I was in bed. At 70...I was feeling energetic ..clear minded. This erratic increases and decreases....other doctors have reported this about their patients BP....is due to the vaccine. There is no doubt in my mind. The trials did not include autoimmune patients. My sincere sympathies for your mom. I have 40 years experience in the dental profession...I truly feel for your mom and family. God bless and take good care of yourselves. I'm passing the word around to anyone with an autoimmune condt to not take any ...any vaccine. A dental patient of mine was advised by his MD to not take covid vaccine since he had Guillaume Barre syndrome after a flu vaccine.

This is a Medscape (establishment medical site) question and the responses go back to last February (2021).

I skimmed through all of the pages of comments, and it was very striking that in the much earlier ones there was little concern and much optimism. That changed pretty rapidly as the comments went forward.

Also, I understand that Dr. Peter McCullough's more recent comments were edited out.

Here's info on the D-dimer test:


From Shots to Clots: Science Shows COVID Vaccines Cause Blood Clots
https://noqreport.com/2021/08/07/from-sh...se-blood-clots/

Americans who have taken COVID vaccine shots and those who have refused to capitulate to the coercion and propaganda are ill-informed about blood clots. This article provides summaries of key recently published research on two types of observed blood clots – microscopic and relatively large size – that merit serious attention and concern.

One inevitable conclusion is that the FDA with support from big media is not doing its job to ensure truly informed consent by those taking vaccine shots.
Canadian physician reports high levels of clots

Dr Charles Hoffe has been practicing medicine for 28 years in a small, rural town in British Columbia, Canada, and recently gave a long interview. He has given about 900 doses of the Moderna experimental mRNA vaccine to his patients. So, contrary to some critics, he is no anti-vaccine doctor.

The core problem he has seen are microscopic clots in his patients’ tiniest capillaries. He said “Blood clots occurring at a capillary level. This has never before been seen. This is not a rare disease. This is an absolutely new phenomenon.”

Most importantly, he has emphasized these micro-clots are too small to show up on CT scans, MRI, and other conventional tests, such as angiograms, and can only be detected using the D-dimer blood test. Using the latter, he found that 62% of his patients injected with an mRNA shot are positive for clotting. He has explained what is happening in bodies.

The spike proteins in the vaccine become “part of the cell wall of your vascular endothelium. This means that these cells which line your blood vessels, which are supposed to be smooth so that your blood flows smoothly now have these little spikey bits sticking out. … when the platelet comes through the capillary it suddenly hits all these COVID spikes and it becomes absolutely inevitable that blood clots will form to block that vessel.”

He made an important distinction: “The blood clots we hear about which the media claim are very rare are the big blood clots which are the ones that cause strokes and show up on CT scans, MRI, etc. The clots I’m talking about are microscopic and too small to find on any scan. They can thus only be detected using the D-dimer test…The most alarming part of this is that there are some parts of the body like the brain, spinal cord, heart and lungs which cannot re-generate. When those tissues are damaged by blood clots they are permanently damaged.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --

This is the post that was deleted, someone grabbed it from the web archive site:

Relevant, short video that we watched yeterday:

Whoa: https://twitter.com/i/status/1424603849952829442 !

(It's Twitter so you have to watch it there.)

Update:

People, it's going to be a rough few months. Go listen to that mercifully short video from Dr. Short above. Helps with context.

A couple of thoughts: if CCP flu is so present in the summer, it's going to be much more so this winter. The results of the government's attempts to control the uncontrollable may be apocalyptic.

Every third tweet I read this morning was about Austin or Houston hospitals being overwhelmed and not having enough ICU beds, all either saying or implying that CCP flu is to blame.

Ed saw a story about a CCP flu positive 11-month old in the hospital who had to be transported to Temple because there wasn't a bed available where she was (Houston, I think). No info about her medical condition, but I will bet the farm, that she has some other comorbid condition that she is actually being treated for, and she is being used in the battle against truth.

This massive effort to promote CCP flu stories right before school starts means they may not have schools open again this year. The damage will be awful, if so. Damage to the economy, to the soul of America, to careers and most of all to the children who should be learning and living their lives now.

A lot has changed in a short amount of time because of the highly contagious delta COVID-19 variant. It's driving up case numbers and hospitalizations in Central Texas, around the state and nationwide in places with low vaccination rates.

Ashley Lopez, who covers health and health care for KUT, answered questions about the variant and what it means for Austinites. Listen to the Q&A above or read the transcript below.

This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity.

What has happened in just the past few weeks?

Well, unfortunately, what everyone had feared is what happened: Delta has taken over. It is quickly spreading across Texas and other parts of the country. Hospitals are filling up with very sick people, and people are dying. There are a lot of reasons for this.

One is this variant of SARS-CoV-2 is very, very contagious. Some news outlets recently got ahold of slide presentations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about this, and they have data that suggests this virus is more contagious than chickenpox, which is one of the most contagious viruses we know about. And it's definitely more contagious than the common cold, the 1918 flu and smallpox.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
