It’s been tough for her, She’s grabbed 2 PP loans, and those have kept her solvent. As the 60+ people are now getting vaccinated, she starts to see them trickle back in after a year.

Last night, we talked about how many restaurants that we have gone to are permanently closed. A lot of small businesses, too. NJ, I believe, is rated last for small business states. Our governor has had draconian lockdowns, probably trying to make up for doing the same as Cuomo with nursing homes. Jersey got hit hard when this started, and my county is still at a 52/100,000 transmission rate, tops the state right now. We have a religious community that has just resisted doing social distancing.

Not sure if you ever view her, but on YT, Dr. Rhonda Patrick is doing a podcast with Dr. Roger Seheult on Vit D, sleep, and sauna against Covid that's good in my view if you have 2 hours to spare. Mac would enjoy the sauna part.

Along with Find Your Fitness, MedCram is also another good channel.

The full effects of the experimental drug are not known.

Adverse Incident Reports Show 966 Deaths Following Vaccination for COVID-19


BY CELIA FARBER

PrintAccording to adverse incident reports collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 966 individuals have died after having received an mRNA vaccine for COVID-19.

Between Dec. 14 and Feb. 19, 19,769 reports were made to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) following immunizations with either the Moderna or Pfizer BioNTech mRNA vaccines (the only two vaccines given during the time period assessed). At this time, VAERS data is not available after Feb. 19.

The 966 deaths represent 5 percent of the total number of adverse events reports. Of those who died, 86, (8.9 percent) died on the same day they got the shot. An additional 129, (13.4 percent) died within one day. An additional 97 died within 2 days, and 61 within 3 days.

A total of 514 (53.2 percent) died within a week. 173 died within 7-13 days. 106 within 14-20 days.

85 percent of deaths occurred in individuals over 60; below 60 there were five deaths among those aged 20-29; 8 aged 30-39; 20 aged 40-49; and 57 aged 50-59.

For detailed information drawn from the VAERS reports, see charts provided at the link at the end of this article.
Information drawn from VAERS reports on mRNA vaccinations for COVID-19. (source: CDC)

Comparison With Influenza Vaccines

Neither of the mRNA vaccines are FDA approved, rather, they have Emergency Use Approval (EUA). They represent a departure from traditional vaccines in that they do not use any part of the suspected pathogen to stimulate the immune system, but rather, nucleoside modified RNA, from which Moderna drew its name.

Dr. Christian Perrone, head of Infectious Disease at Hopital de Garches in France, stated in a complaint filed in Europe:

“The first vaccines they are offering us are not vaccines. They are gene therapy products. They…inject nucleic acids that will cause our own cells to produce elements of the virus.”

The death rate following COVID mRNA vaccination is much higher than that following influenza vaccination.

The CDC’s data allows only a ballpark estimation of the rate of deaths following flu vaccination.

In the 2019-2020 influenza season the CDC reports that 51.8 percent of the U.S. population received a vaccine, which is approximately 170 million people.

VAERS reports that in the calendar year 2019 (not the 2019-2020 influenza season) there were 45 deaths following vaccination. To provide context, in 2018 VAERS reports 46 deaths, and in 2017 it reports 20 deaths.

The 45 deaths in 2019 are occurring at a rate of 0.0000265 percent, when calculated using the number of vaccines given in the 2019-2020 influenza season.

As of Feb. 19, 41,977,401 COVID vaccinations had been given with 966 deaths reported following vaccination, which is approximately a rate of .0023 percent.

The VAERS System

VAERS was put in place in 1990, to capture unforeseen reactions from vaccines.

VAERS is criticized both for the fact that anybody can submit a report, and for the fact that it catches only a fraction of the adverse incidents.

The VAERS website describes the system in this way:

“Established in 1990, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines. VAERS is co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (possible side effects) after a person has received a vaccination. Anyone can report an adverse event to VAERS. Healthcare professionals are required to report certain adverse events and vaccine manufacturers are required to report all adverse events that come to their attention.

“VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern.”

Without a medical diagnosis or autopsy, the report of an adverse incident following a vaccination is not proof that the vaccination caused any particular symptoms.

In a reply to The Epoch Times, about the VAERS death report, Steven Danehy, Director of Global Media Relations for Pfizer, wrote:

“To date, millions of people have been vaccinated with our vaccine. Serious adverse events, including deaths that are unrelated to the vaccine, are unfortunately likely to occur at a similar rate as they would in the general population.”

Moderna has not responded to requests for comment.

The VAERS database is dense with information and can be difficult for some users to follow. The Epoch Times has extracted its data as clearly as possible in charts provided in the link below.

At the link below are charts containing: on the tab “All Deaths Readable” descriptions of what happened to the patients—effects they experienced as reported by health care workers and/or relatives, or other witnesses; VAERS ID numbers (used to look up a complete file on the VAERS database); vaccination type; manufacturer; vaccination name; date received; age, gender and state of each recipient; as well as medical history; and other medications patients were taking.

Then don't take it. We still have freedom of choice. But then we always have statistics, just like how the statin drug companies sway doc to giving statins, a highly profitable drug with little effect and more long-term issues than reported. 966 deaths compared to the rolling outweighing numbers of Covid mortality. 5% of the reactions, which is highly reduced when you put them into the context of how many vaccines so far, not just looking at a percentage of only reactions.

And we are only starting to see the longer-term issues of mild cases of Covid, with heart inflammation kicking up 6 months later, for one example. To use your text: The full effects of the experimental drug Covid are not known.

Again, it's your body; We still have freedom of choice. For those of us in a most affected group, like me, the choice has a different context.

The wife and I have decided the same thing, I for one will take my chances with the virus, in my opinion the Lord never intended for us to run from pestilence but rather meet it head on and develop herd immunity...again, that is just my opinion. I'll let others complete the study on the long term effects of the vaccines, I respect that. The wife has her reasons and I respect those.

I’m sick of hearing about the virus. It’s been over a year. Ever heard of herd immunity? Yeah, me and my lady are “anti vaxxers” and don’t believe in abortions and harvesting fetal cells to make vaccines for things God gave us an immune system for. To each his or her own as long as no one forces us or our children to take it. My lady has worked on the local covid floor for over eight months. Masks are useless and I am ready to pick my six year old son up from school and not have teachers at his private school hassling him and the other children about masks. I’m glad Abbott lifted the silly restrictions. It’s a flu. You guys have a great day!

Three big things that exaggerate the emotion:
Lying about masks working with something as small as a virus.
Lying about the statistics.
Using something proven to be as safe as almost any other drug, that actually helps MANY people in Covid treatment (ie HydroxyChloroquin), and demonizing it simply because Trump was for it. My wife is in the at-risk group and it was a great help to her when she had Covid.

Totally agree about abortions and harvesting aborted fetal tissue! They are both wrong. Even when it helps the greater population, taking a helpless life to achieve that "good" is immoral. All aspects of human life are devalued because of it.

There is no doubt an "at risk" group that should take serious precautions, but it is not an issue that should have radically affected all aspects of our society to the extent that it has.

I agree with all those points, Mark. I'm sorry that your wife had it, glad she got through it and had something to help her.

This entire situation has been FUBAR on so many levels.

Masks - I've been wearing 3M N95's with the valve when I have to, none when I don't. When mandatory, most people are wearing minimally effective ones, if at all, and about 1/3 to 1/2 not properly. In the most populated state per square mile, that ain't helped.

My belief that life begins at conception when combining two entities produced a flash explosion of zinc. Abortion should be a scarce instance; there are ways to avoid the issue if someone is not ready in life; some are never ready.

We all make our own choices, and we should be able to.

We are starting to cross that line FTE has about politics.
If we don't want an edit or a thread lock we need to stay on the one side of the line.

Down by Pete's area, but not close to his home. The guys he used to work with are busy.

Am I the only one to no longer have the option to view the full site? Yesterday the mobile version came up like it does sometimes, I scrolled down the menu and clicked “view full site” and that option went away. I’m on iPad usually, haven’t checked my Windows desktop yet.
