CDC[i] SURGES COVID-19 STATS: Death Rates Remain Low

GUEST ARTICLE:
CDC[i] SURGES COVID-19 STATS: Death Rates Remain Low
More Cases Needed for Herd Immunity
Ginger R. Breggin and Peter R. Breggin M.D


Americans are being frightened by the media and experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci into believing that we are in a crisis of skyrocketing COVID-19 cases due to the reopenings of communities in the US. States that had survived the first explosive wave of COVID-19, such as Florida, Texas, and other Southern and Southwestern states, were literally beginning to save America as they stimulated their economies, providing a vital lift to our national economic, social and emotional well-being. When these states became more open the numbers of deaths from COVID-19 remained reassuringly low.

In the past couple of weeks the nation is being loudly informed by experts and media that there has been an explosion of new COVID-19 cases in exactly those states that had done so well before, including Florida and Texas, two of the nation’s biggest contributors to the national economy.

A Fake Explosion of Coronavirus Cases?
We were shocked to discover that the "explosion" may have more to do with the loosening of CDC standards for reporting COVID 19 cases than with any real resurgence. Included in the new CDC standards are such criteria as this: If you have spent 10 minutes near a probable case and are found on contact tracing to have any number of symptoms that could be caused by asthma, allergy or the common cold, you are counted as a COVID-19 case, even without any laboratory testing result.

The CDC revised criteria for health departments on April 5, 2020.[1] The revisions have been slowly working their way through the state health departments including Texas which, on May 11, 2020, issued its own new standards based on CDC’s, loosening criteria for diagnosing COVID-19 cases. Texas’s state health department standards for defining COVID-19 cases was then sent to all Texas counties where the basic collection of COVID-19 cases begins.

Deaths Are Not Escalating
It is well known that the numbers of COVID-19 deaths have already been padded.[2] Yet there has been no frightening uptick in deaths in the United States[3] despite the combined forces of the urban riots, defiant gatherings on beaches and elsewhere, and the official openings of many states. This good news about the relatively few new deaths has been ignored by Fauci and the media; but you can follow it on the daily updated chart at the top of our Coronavirus Resource Center.[4]
So there is no threatening increase in deaths from COVID-19 in the United States! Great news. But we hear little of this welcome information. Where we used to see headlines every day about deaths, now our attention is being drawn to the "exploding" new cases.

Further, it appears that because Fauci, the media and the Deep State cannot demonstrate a threatening increase in deaths, the CDC has now decided they have to pad the numbers of new COVID-19 cases. Dr. Fauci, who had been mostly missing from the public limelight for weeks, is once again making media rounds to tell us how to live our lives, while bringing us dire warnings about supposedly staggering numbers of cases and possible deaths on the horizon.

Ignoring Reality
Throughout all of this, three basic facts have been ignored. First, the only reason for the shutdown was to prevent such a rapid escalation in COVID-19 cases that the health system would "collapse." Second, most of the country, especially those up to about age forty, will inevitably get SARS-CoV-2 without a high risk of severe or fatal illness and third, by becoming exposed people will create the herd immunity that will ultimately protect us older and more vulnerable people.

Instead, this is what we heard on June 30th from Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: "The United States may soon record as many as 100,000 new cases of COVID-19[5] a day if the current trajectory of the outbreak is not changed."

We ask, "So what?" Was there ever any doubt that tens of millions—not a mere hundred thousand a day—would contract this highly infectious disease that mercifully rarely does serious harm to anyone but the elderly and immune compromised? This is clearly a case of the Deep State against America and our nation’s vigorous attempts to quickly recover from the draconian COVID-19 lockdown of the spring of 2020.

A House Built on the Sand of Uncertain Testing
Since the beginning of the pandemic in the United States, the CDC has failed to provide statistical clarity. According to ABC News,[6] the initial COVID-19 test kits created by the CDC failed because of a "contaminated component." Those kits were pulled back after giving a large number of false positives.

Then on May 21st The Atlantic[7] reported that the CDC was requiring that positive tests for antibodies (indications that a patient has had COVID-19 at some earlier time) were to be included in the daily count of new COVID-19 cases. As The Atlantic asked, "How Could the CDC Make That Mistake?" Not only was the logic off—antibodies do not indicate a new case, but an old one. The antibody tests, conducted by many different companies with their own concoctions, remained highly suspect.

Now for the Ridiculous Details
The CDC has been loosening its standards for defining a COVID-19 death case. On June 3, 2020, the CDC declared[8] that COVID-19 cases should include not only deaths that were "confirmed," but also "probable" death cases of COVID-19. A COVID-19 confirmed case is the result of a positive lab test. A death certificate that lists COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 as cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death is counted as a new case as well even without testing.

Beyond cases associated with death, nonlethal COVID-19 cases are also required  to be counted as confirmed cases if they are in fact listed as "probable." A probable case can be identified if clinical criteria are met for at least two symptoms: fever (measured or subjective), chills, rigors, myalgia, headache, sore throat, or new nose and taste disorders. Or if a person has at least one symptom of cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing. Or if a person has a severe respiratory illness and no alternative more likely diagnosis is found.

In addition, the person suspected of being positive of COVID-19 has to have been in contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID 19, or someone who had a clinically compatible illness and linkage to a confirmed case of COVID-19. In other words, you are counted as a COVID-19 case if you had any contact with a probable or confirmed case, plus a few symptoms that could be caused by an infinite number of different causes such as asthma, seasonal allergy, exposure to an irritant, a cold, heart trouble or stress.

On the County Level
Collin County in Texas is a good example of how these changing standards affect the numbers of COVID-19 cases counted. During the May 28, 2020 Collin County Commissioners Court,[9] Administrative Services gave a Power Point Presentation[10] on the new case definition for COVID-19. She referred to the Texas Department of State Health Services guidelines[11] that had been distributed May 11, 2020. Prior to the changes, the case definition for a confirmed case of COVID-19 was a positive PCR (swab test for present infection) lab result for COVID-19.

The new case definitions expand the total count of COVID19 cases to many times the original confirmed cases. The numbers of death cases expand also as positive lab results are no longer required for the counting of a COVID-19 death. In each category the counted cases will be many times higher. According to the CDC FAQ:COVID-19 Data and Surveillance,[12] "A COVID-19 case includes confirmed and probable cases and deaths."

So At Least the new CDC Standards are Being Standardized?
No, as it turns out, some states and counties are implementing the new CDC standards of lumping together confirmed COVID-19 cases and probable COVID-19 cases, and some are not. Over half of the US states are not reporting probable cases[13] along with confirmed cases as of June 9th, 2020. The result is that states that are reporting probable and confirmed cases as confirmed cases, are showing a much higher rate of infection spread.

In Illinois, probable cases were not being reported as of June 8 2020 .[14] Spokesperson for the state’s health department explained probable cases were withheld "because there is concern from the public that the number of deaths is being inflated. . . . We need the public to have confidence in the data and therefore are reporting only those deaths that are laboratory confirmed." Many other specifics of incomplete or missing data from various states have been uncovered by media investigations, including The Washington Post.[15]

But as can be seen by the Collin County, Texas example earlier in this piece, as counties and states begin to add probable cases into their statistics, the COVID-19 cases will skyrocket. Graphs will shoot up. Fake higher rates of the spread of COVID-19 manipulates governors into prematurely reclosing economies, dragging down the recovery.

The Take-Away
Dr. Fauci keeps talking about science but as we describe in reports and videos on our Coronavirus Resource Center, Fauci is not science-based. He is politically motivated, and so ignores the worthlessness of most data emerging from the CDC. Science is based on facts while the data on COVID-19 cases is a jumbled mess and useless for informing how we should deal with opening as a nation.

America, we cannot be too skeptical of bad news coming out from Anthony Fauci, the CDC, pundits, the major media, Deep State, and politicians committed to ruining America’s economy to ensure their own political power. For now, it is reasonable to assume that COVID-19 cases must continue to rise in numbers, probably into the tens of millions, in order to reach herd immunity. Those of us who are older or immune compromised must remain in relative isolation to protect ourselves until herd immunity is achieved, while those of you who are younger go about your business of living, knowing that you have less chance of dying from COVID-19 than from the flu.

About Vaccines, Drugs, Violence, and Shootings - A Theory

Regarding vaccines in the news and even on the talk shows, there is unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage, and fake news.  When a person or someone with influence tries to influence others to do something that can and does injure and kill, that is irresponsible.  That was and is what the mainstream media, doctors, nurses, drug companies, etc., do regarding the vaccine debate.  Please see my prior post about vaccines and common sense and logic.

Without going into great detail, here is one theory about what has lead to most of the (mass) shootings.  For that, let's start at the beginning of life.  The first exposure to vaccines for a new life now happens during pregnancy.  The first neurotoxins are introduced to the fetus's evolving brain.  Then on the first day of life, the baby is given a hep B vaccine - for what reason?  To protect him/her from unprotected sex or sharing of needles?  And then at 2, 4, and 6 months, many more vaccines with lots of aluminum, mercury, GMOs, glyphosate, heavy metal contaminants, foreign cells and DNA, and on and on.  Depending on the baby's genetics, he/she will have a minimum to maximum amount brain damage.  For the next 17.5 years, he/she will have received a total of around 70+ vaccines with varying amounts of all the neurotoxic ingredients.  This will likely lead to behavioral problems, perhaps minor or severe depending on genetics.  Plus many other health problems, including depression.  Next come the drugs to treat these problems, all of which have side effects up to and including violent behavior and suicide.

Adding to the above are all the environmental toxins (glyphosate, pesticides, fluoride in our water, chemicals in our food, etc.) which further add to the above problems.

So now we have brain damaged people on drugs with access to guns.  What could possibly go wrong?  We've already seen the answer to that.  Most, if not all, of the mass shooters had been on drugs for various health problems such as depression, anger, etc.  Sadly, if my theory is correct, the shootings will become more frequent as time goes by.

The initial 24/7 coverage in the news of the shootings is also likely having an influence on the number of shootings.  The media may as well say, "If you want to become famous, just go out and copy what that person did and we'll make sure your name gets publicized and that you'll get your 15 minutes (hours, days?) of fame."

Now, let's compare some numbers.

Florida school shooting - 17 died on that day.
Since 2012, 158 have been killed in school shootings, or 1 every 11 days.
Vaccines - An average of at least 35 die every day from reactions to vaccines.
Prescription Drugs - About 300 die every day from the side effects of those.
Medical Errors - About 270 die every day from those.
Hospital Infections - About 250 die every day from those.
Hospital Malnutrition - About 310 die every day from this.

To look at this another way, 13,000 times more people die from these other preventable causes than from school shootings.  Where are the marches?  Why aren't people up in arms?  Why is nothing being done?  Could it be because that the drug companies/medical profession pay about 70% of the medias revenue and make billions of dollars from their drugs/vaccines so these problems are not reported to the public?

I was going to publish this sooner but decided to wait until emotions died down a bit.  Please don't think I'm downplaying the school shootings.  But if we fix the vaccine and drug problem (and promote healthy nutrition), perhaps the school shooting problem will fade away or at least diminish in number.  Life is sacred - no one should be doing anything that will end someone else's life, whether it's someone with a gun or vaccines or drugs.

Rather than try to fix the problems by reacting after the fact, the cause of the problem needs to be fixed.  That can be done with a healthy diet, exercise, supplements, lowering stress levels, better sleep, etc., rather than trying to fix problems with vaccines and drugs.  Unfortunately, we are going in the opposite direction with no change anytime soon.

Logic, Common Sense, and Vaccines

This is a little long (or perhaps not), but some things to think about:  LOGIC. COMMON SENSE, and STATISTICS: U.S. Supreme Court said vaccines are "UNAVOIDABLY UNSAFE."  Why do drug companies have no vaccine liability?  Those who want mandatory vaccines say that if people stop vaccinating, all those diseases will come back worse than ever - well, by age 28, all the childhood vaccines have worn off, and less than half of adults get vaccinated, so where are all the epidemics (pandemics?) and why aren't all the adults dropping dead like flies from all those diseases?  If vaccines are effective, why are most outbreaks happening in vaccinated populations (especially China where 99.5% of the population is vaccinated, and they are having outbreaks)?  Why would anyone care if someone's child wasn't vaccinated if yours was, as yours would be immune to all those vaccine-preventable diseases if vaccines were effective?  If they are safe, why have there been over 60,000 deaths (perhaps much higher) in VAERS (where less than 1 in 10 actually gets reported according to CDC, maybe as little as 1 in 100 - I've multiplied by just a factor of 10), E.R. visits - over 2 million, Hospitalized - over 600,000, Life-Threatening - over 110,000, and Disabled - over 82,000.  Here's a chart from the CDC for 2014 Pertussis cases (Chart).  Notice in the lower right chart that over 5x as many cases reported in those who got the 3+ recommended vaccines compared to those who did not get the vaccine.  The above does not take into account the possible long-term side effects which are unknown as there are no studies available for this.  Did you know that to save one person from getting meningitis, the meningococcal vaccine will have killed three people and injured much more?  More people die and are injured by vaccines than from the diseases they are supposed to prevent (according to statistics from VAERS and CDC). If you look at graphs of diseases from the 1800s to the present (Article with Lots of Graphs), and where vaccines came in, you'll see that most diseases were almost gone when the vaccines arrived.  Check the graph for scarlet fever - there was no vaccine for that, so you can't give vaccines credit for that.  Why aren't people still getting it?  Why do many, if not most, doctors not vaccinate?  And finally, why have there been almost no comparison studies in the U.S. between vaccinated and unvaccinated people (there were a couple in Europe showing vaccinated children less healthy than unvaccinated)?  I know, that last question is a tough one, but if you actually spend some time on it, you'll figure it out (and no, they wouldn't be sacrificing the unvaccinated because there are around a million children who do not get vaccinated - see the logic of that below).  If those who wanted everyone to get vaccines would actually do some research, fact checking, use some common sense and logic, perhaps they would find the truth.  Instead, they accuse those who actually have done the research of not doing research and those who want safe vaccines are called anti-vaxx.  I wonder if they call those who want safe highways, anti-highway.  I wonder if they call the U.S. Supreme Court anti-vaxx for calling vaccines unavoidably unsafe.  No doubt they would call you that if you said what SCOTUS said.  I know all this won't change the opinions of those who want everyone vaccinated as they seem incapable of logic and common sense or of doing research from independent sources.  Then again, perhaps they are profiting from vaccines.

A word about the comparison studies they refuse to do (by "they" I mean the government and vaccine people) that would compare health and disease rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.  The reason they give, and this would be funny if it wasn't so tragic, is that it would be unethical to deprive vaccines to the million or so children who don't want and refuse to get vaccines (because those families probably have done the research).  That's right, they say it's unethical to deprive them of vaccines that are known to kill and permanently injure a certain percentage of children who get them, but it's OK to try to force those vaccines on them!  In other words, it's ethical to kill and injure but not to compare.  One has to wonder if perhaps the makers of vaccines are vaccine injured or they think everyone else is.

A favorite quote that relates to this very well:  "It astounds me how people never learn, and simply accept what is suggested to them by those writing articles, or those speaking on television, as gospel. Have we lost the ability to think critically? Have we lost the ability to question what we are told based upon actual facts? Or have we simply adopted the "Foghorn Leghorn perspective:  "Don't bother me with facts, son. I've already made up my mind.""

Thanks to vaccines, there will be generations of people who not only can't think critically but may not be able to think much at all.  Autism is already affecting 1 out of 36 and still increasing exponentially.  But they keep denying the connection between vaccines and autism, even though vaccines contain several known neurotoxins (mercury, aluminum, lead, Glyphosate, MSG, etc., plus loads of other crap).  Here is a link to one of the latest studies on Aluminum and Autism - Aluminum and Autism.  Never forget how long they denied that smoking caused cancer and said smoking was actually good for you.  It cost my father his life - he had been a heavy smoker for many years and although he quit in his mid-50s, he still died from lung cancer.  One of their favorite arguments about all the deaths and injuries caused by vaccines - it was coincidental.  That's the "logic" they use.

What to Look for in Supplements (Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs, etc.)

Do the vast majority of people need supplements?  In my opinion, YES.  Why?  No matter how healthily you eat, the food today isn't what it was 100 years ago.  It may be grown in poor soil, it may have sat on the shelf for days, and you may not be getting the variety you need, especially if you have a poor diet of fast foods and processed foods.  So you need to fill in the gaps with a good multivitamin and perhaps a variety of other supplements to support different parts of your body, such as your joints, heart, circulation, brain, immune system, etc.

There are people who have told me, "why spend money on all those supplements, you're going to die anyway?"  Well, there is a big difference between living healthy and living sick before your time is up, not to mention you can add many years of life to your life by being healthy.  I've mentioned in prior posts the difference it has made in my life (eliminated countless health problems).  Assuming you want the best health, what should you do besides eating an organic whole foods diet?

Take the best supplements you can afford.  The first choice would be food grown vitamins and minerals.  Next would be food-based multivitamins.  And finally, a good general multivitamin.  Make sure you check "other ingredients."  If it contains talc, polysorbate 80, fructose, HFCS, artificial sweeteners, don't buy it - the vitamins and minerals are also likely to be in poor forms that aren't absorbed well.  If vitamin E is listed as dl-alpha ________, don't buy that multi.  It should be d-alpha tocopherol (without the "l").  Mixed tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) are better.

If you need calcium, always get it with magnesium, and take vitamin D3 and vitamin K1 and K2-MK7 with it.  Rather than go over every mineral and vitamin form available (for example, there are at least 6 forms of magnesium alone, and each does something a little different).  Some magnesium supplements contain several forms in one.  You can google "magnesium best form" and find the differences between each form.

As for other ingredients, the best other ingredient list is when there are none (in many organic herbal powders), other than perhaps the capsule, or a few other natural ingredients.  No soy, unless it's non-GMO soy.  Only organic herbs, if you take herbs.  I take several in powder form so there are no other ingredients and put them in my smoothie.  And only the L form (never DL, except for DLPA should you need that one) of amino acids, should you take those.  Below are a few supplement forms to look for in a good multi:

For zinc - OptiZinc
For Selenium - Seleno-methionine
For Chromium - Chromate
Vitamin D - as D3
Vitamin E - as D-Alpha (NOT dl-)

If your multi contains the above forms, it will most likely not have bad other ingredients and probably will have good forms of its other vitamins.  I would stay away from drugstore brands.  I  wouldn't get or take Centrum even if they paid me (has artificial color, talc, preservatives (BHT), dl-alpha form of vitamin E, and even Hydrogenated Palm Oil, plus other ingredients that I have no idea what they are in there for).

One of the other supplements I take is MSM.  Best form is OptiMSM (by Doctor's Best).  It has two ingredients - MSM and the capsule.  I take 1000mg for joint support, allergy support, and sometimes in higher doses for pain.

Hope you got some good information here.  Remember to always check ingredients for food or supplements.  Wishing you all best of health and happiness in 2018.

The Greater Good....and Vaccines

The following is, as far as I know, fictional, but then again, who knows.  The Greater Good....as a drug company vaccine insider might say to a coworker:

Ha - it was a great idea of ours to promote vaccines for the greater good.  They'll never guess the reality, that the greater good is for our bottom line and will enable us to contribute to Congress and the government in general for passing our laws.  Which laws?  Taking away our liability for the deaths and permanent disabilities our vaccines are causing.  I would never have thought they'd go along with that.  Just goes to show when you make enough money, and contribute enough money, you can pretty much get away with anything.

You realize that without liability, we don't have to spend years and mounds of our money on making vaccines safe, either.   We can let the vaccines get contaminated, too, and don't have to test for lead and other nasty things.  We can do whatever we want, as long as they think we're actually being careful.  And with the payoffs to the doctors and hospitals, we can force even more people to get vaccinated.  Plus (if you can believe it can even get better), we can keep adding more vaccines to the schedule.  After all, the CDC makes the schedule and profits, too.  This is the ultimate money machine.

We didn't even have to give that much to Pan in California to get SB277 passed.  Now we can experiment with an almost unlimited amount of children.  We still have to figure out what to do about those doctors giving medical exemptions.  Maybe give them a scare by getting the medical board to pull their licenses.  Hitler didn't even have it this good.  People knew he was evil, but the same kinds of people think we're actually beneficial.  Frankly, I never thought things would go so well.

It's amazing how people just eat it up when we say things like "herd immunity." and "the science is settled."  I mean we only have to say vaccines don't cause autism, the science is settled, and voila, they believe us.  Of course, we know that in reality, science is never settled and vaccine herd immunity is a myth.  But those phrases work so well that we'll continue to use them.  By the time they figure out that vaccines do contribute to autism (and other neurodegenerative disorders), if not directly cause it, we'll be safely retired.  And besides, with over half the population autistic by that time, they won't have time to think about us - they'll be way too busy taking care of all those people.

Ahh - isn't life grand.  We own the media, control the government and medical establishment, have no liability, and have a money machine.  If things look like they're getting a little slow or we need some extra spending money, the CDC will throw out a health scare, tell people a pandemic is coming, and that will crank up the ole money machine.

It worries me a little that some people are actually checking facts and statistics in VAERS and CDC, as well as charts of diseases that go back to around the year 1900 (the graphs that showed that all those diseases would have faded away anyway - that was close - we almost didn't get the vaccines produced before the diseases would have been gone on their own).  I think we'll be OK if we keep calling people anti-vaxx, quacks, and conspiracy theorists, etc.  I think what else has been working well is discrediting certain people, and then when we talk about them we can say they have been discredited (sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy, no?).  And most people don't realize we're the ones who did the discrediting, ha ha.  Too bad we really got Andy Wakefield good with that one - he was a good doctor, cared about his patients.  But he made the mistake of talking negatively about our vaccines.  So we got his license pulled and discredited him.  That should teach the others!

Oh, the flu vaccine has really been good for our greater good, ha ha - even when it's not effective they tell people to get the vaccine anyway, and can you believe it?  They do!  Every year! And this one is not just for kids.  We even got hospitals and clinics mandating it and if they refuse they'll fire them.  Even when the vaccine does nothing!!!  How can we lose?

BTW, here is a list of vaccines to keep away from your family - yeah, I know that's most of them, but with no testing of their safety, not to mention the injuries and deaths, I thought it would be a good idea for you to know and avoid them like the plague.  Whatever you do, don't let anyone know I told you.

Their Health System or An Actual Health Plan?

It was ironic that at 52 years old, the president of the AHA (American Heart Association) had a heart attack.  Did you believe the AHA gave good advice?

Today I read that someone had died this past March because he couldn't afford the cost of his needed insulin.  My father had diabetes and had been on insulin, then changed his diet and no longer needed the insulin.  Could this person have done the same?  Does your doctor talk about your diet with you?

Here are some statistics from the results of the U.S. spending more than any other nation for healthcare:  Health Statistics - why would you trust so-called Healthcare?   I don't.

What do the above three paragraphs logically lead to?  Each person needs to take responsibility for his or her own health.   I found this out many years ago when I was having health problems and the doctors, after running a series of tests offered nothing - they said I had "nervous stomach" and to stay out of stressful situations.  Nothing about diet or nutrition.  That was when I lost faith in our medical system.  I needed to feel better, so went to the healthiest looking person I knew and asked him what he did - he looked like a photo on the cover of those Greek mythology books.  I figured if whatever he was doing worked so well for him, I had to give it a try.  He told me to find a book called Health Secrets of the Hunza and follow their diet.  I found the book and followed the diet, and not only did my stomach issue go away over a period of about 6 months, but so did several other problems.

Years ago in a photography class, the professor said two things that are excellent advice for life in general:  1.  Eliminate the variables; 2.  Whatever you do, take it to the next step.  In this case, the variables are diet, exercise, supplements, sleep, etc.  After changing my diet, the next step was adding supplements to my diet.  This phase took years of trial and error to find what worked best.

What is the Hunza diet and what does it do?  It is a diet of whole foods - no chemicals, no artificial ingredients, no food coloring, no GMO's, no fructose or sugar, no pesticides or herbicides, no fast food, just food that grows out of the ground as nature intended.  Hunza has no sickness, no colds, flu, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc.  They have no need for vaccines or medicine (except for injuries).   Many of them live to be over 100.  Their health insurance is their diet.  Here is a link describing some of their foods - Hunza Diet.

You can't eliminate all the variables, but you can eliminate most of them.  Don't forget, if doctors taught you how to stay well with the above information, you probably wouldn't need them anymore.  Instead, they'll give you drugs to hide your symptoms and have a customer for life.

Bottom line - it's your choice - eat healthily and probably stay healthy, or eat the typical American diet and get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, not to mention going broke paying for insurance, drugs and medical care, and when you can't afford those anymore....

Anti-Vaxx, Pro-Vaxx, or Shades of Gray?

As many of you may know, I've been writing about vaccines for a few years and have spent several hundred hours researching the pros and cons of getting vaccinated or not vaccinated.  I hope I've gotten some of you to start doing your own research so you can make an informed choice.

What about the pro and anti vaxx labels?  Well, since pro-vaxx people want everyone vaccinated, I would have to say that anti-vaxx people would want no one vaccinated.

That being the case, I doubt you would be able to find anyone who is actually anti-vaxx.  What they actually want is, to varying degrees:

1.  Pro-informed choice, pro-freedom, pro human rights, pro Nuremberg Code. 

2.  They are probably anti human experimentation and against human rights violations. 

3.  They are most likely well educated and have probably done at least some research, or they know of someone who was injured or killed by a vaccine, perhaps even their own child.

4.  They probably don't much care for playing Russian Roulette with their children.

5.  They may not trust the following substances being injected into themselves or their children:  mercury, aluminum, MSG, polysorbate 80, GMOs, glyphosate, lead, retroviruses, various other contaminants, aborted fetal cells, monkey cells, and on and on.

6.  They probably don't like that vaccine makers have no liability, thus no motivation to make the vaccines safe, or at least safer.

What about the pro-vaccine people?  There are a few different classes of those.

1.  There are those who have been brainwashed by the media (who are basically owned by the drug companies) into believing if everyone doesn't get vaccinated, it will be the end of the world.  All they need to do is some basic research from independent sources and use some logic to see that is false.  (NOTE:  at the end of this article is a paragraph on the logic regarding vaccines)

2.  There are those who profit from the sale of vaccines, which include the drug companies, doctors, the media, the CDC, and the government in the form of political donations.

3.  The trolls and shills (these are probably the worst of the bunch, although doctors who bully their patients may have them beat) who will attack and try to discredit anyone who posts anything that may hurt their profits from the sale of vaccines.  They will call doctors who disagree with them quacks and say that those doctors have been discredited (and many times they have been, by the same forces that want vaccines for all).  They will call you uneducated, illiterate, ignorant, along with other insults, and worse, and may claim to be highly educated.  They will ask you to cite any and all studies that back up what you say, but if you do, they will say those studies have been discredited and/or have been shown to be faulty when, in fact, the studies they cite are faulty and/or poorly designed.  The real tip-off is that they will post more than anyone else, discrediting anyone who disagrees with them, all the while lying like they really don't understand the difference between those lies and truth and honesty - because they don't.  They will never suggest you do research from independent sources.  They may call YOU dangerous (and you are....to their profits) while their vaccines are killing and injuring your children.  They are good at twisting and turning facts against you.  I ran into one that even intimated that longterm studies have been done - they haven't.  One more thing - they will always deny that they are paid shills or trolls - they are liars, after all.  They will never say anything like the following (a favorite quote of mine):  "It astounds me how people never learn, and simply accept what is suggested to them by those writing articles, or those speaking on television, as gospel. Have we lost the ability to think critically? Have we lost the ability to question what we are told based upon actual facts? Or have we simply adopted the "Foghorn Leghorn perspective:  "Don't bother me with facts, son. I've already made up my mind.""

LOGIC. COMMON SENSE, and STATISTICS: U.S. Supreme Court said vaccines are UNAVOIDABLY UNSAFE."  Why do drug companies have no vaccine liability?  Those who want mandatory vaccines say that if people stop vaccinating, all those diseases will come back with a vengeance - well, by age 28, all the childhood vaccines have worn off, and less than half of adults get vaccinated, so where are all the epidemics (pandemics?) and why aren't all the adults dropping dead like flies from all those diseases?  If vaccines are effective, why are most outbreaks happening in vaccinated populations (especially China where 99.5% of the population is vaccinated, and they are having outbreaks)?  Why would anyone care if someone's child wasn't vaccinated if yours was, as yours would be immune to all those diseases if vaccines were effective?  If they are safe, why have there been over 60,000 deaths (perhaps much higher) in VAERS (where less than 1 in 10 actually gets reported according to CDC, maybe as little as 1 in 100 - I've multiplied by just a factor of 10), E.R. visits - over 2 million, Hospitalized - over 600,000, Life-Threatening - over 110,000, and Disabled - over 82,000.  Here's a chart from the CDC for 2014 Pertussis cases
(https://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/downloads/pertuss-surv-report-2014.pdf) - notice in the lower right chart that over 5x as many cases reported in those who got the 3+ recommended vaccines compared to those who did not get the vaccine.  The above does not take into account the possible long-term side effects which are unknown as there are no studies available for this.  Did you know that to save one person from getting meningitis, the meningococcal vaccine will have killed three people and injured much more?  More people die and are injured by vaccines than from the diseases they are supposed to prevent (according to statistics from VAERS and CDC). If you look at graphs of diseases from the 1800s to the present, and where vaccines came in, you'll see that most diseases were almost already gone.  Check the graph for scarlet fever - there was no vaccine for that.  Why aren't people still getting it (hint - better hygiene, cleaner drinking water, more knowledge about disease, etc.)?  And finally, why have there been almost no comparison studies in the U.S. between vaccinated and unvaccinated people (there were a couple in Europe showing vaccinated children less healthy than unvaccinated)?  BTW - there are more than enough who don't want vaccines, for the study.  If those who want vaccines would do some research, fact checking, use some common sense and logic, they would most likely change their mind (unless, of course, they profit).  Instead, most of them accuse those who actually have done the research of not doing research and those who want safe vaccines or the freedom to choose are called anti-vaxx.  I wonder if they call those who want safe highways, anti-highway.  I wonder if they call the U.S. Supreme Court anti-vaxx for calling vaccines unavoidably unsafe.  No doubt they would call you that if you said what SCOTUS said.  I know all this won't change the opinions of those who want everyone vaccinated as they seem incapable of logic and common sense or of research from independent sources.  Or perhaps they profit from vaccines.
