Dr. Scott Jensen Responds to the Minnesota Medical Board Allegations Against Him
A physician who revealed that providers were being “coached” by the Minnesota Department of Health to code all deaths which could possibly be linked to COVID-19, as COVID-19, is being set upon by the state medical board in an investigation prompted by an anonymous complaint. Dr. Scott Jensen, who is also a state senator, exposed the COVID death-boosting scam in a television interview on April 9, 2020, with KX4 News.
Minnesota is one of the states in which governors are accused of sending COVID patients into nursing homes, thereby directly causing the deaths of severely physically compromised elderly. Other states are New York, New Jersey, and Michigan.
Dr. Jensen says he is “stunned” by the investigation, in which he is accused of “spreading misinformation.” Jensen, who has practiced for 40 years, was named “2016 Minnesota Family Doctor of the Year.”
After the news interview, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s administration hastily issued “clarifications” of the rules for labeling a death COVID… MORE AT HUBPAGES…
Dr. Carrie Madej, DO is a Internal Medicine Specialist in McDonough, GA and has over 19 years of experience in the medical field. She graduated from Kansas City Univ Of Medicine Bioscience College Of Osteopathic Medicine medical school in 2001. She is affiliated with medical facilities Piedmont Fayette Hospital and Southern Regional Medical Center. She warns of a hellish plan to control humans through hydrogel technology, already developed, inserted with vaccines, which will become part of the body and provide a lifetime feedback mechanism for total control of humans connected to an AI platform.
Why are pandemics so hard to stop? Often it’s because the disease moves faster than people can be tested for it. The Defense Department is helping to fund a new study to determine whether an under-the-skin biosensor can help trackers keep up — by detecting flu-like infections even before their symptoms begin to show. Its maker, Profusa, says the sensor is on track to try for FDA approval by early next year….
Most of these technologies garnering positive media coverage thanks to Covid-19 were developed several years ago. They include the DARPA-funded platforms used to produce DNA and RNA vaccines, classes of vaccine that has never been approved for human use in the U.S. and involve injecting foreign genetic material into the human body. Notably, it is this very class of vaccine, now being produced by DARPA-partnered companies, that billionaire and global health “philanthropist” Bill Gates recently asserted has him “most excited” relative to other Covid-19 vaccine candidates. Yet, key aspects regarding these vaccines and other DARPA “healthcare” initiatives have been left out of these recent positive reports, likely because they provide a window into what is arguably the agency’s darkest agenda.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health are working with a biotech company to quickly start clinical trials of an experimental messenger RNA vaccine and fast track it to licensure. 1 The FDA has not yet licensed messenger RNA vaccines that use part of the RNA of a virus to manipulate the body’s immune system into stimulating a potent immune response. 23 It looks like the coronavirus vaccine will be the first genetically engineered messenger RNA vaccine to be fast tracked to licensure, just like Gardasil was the first genetically engineered virus-like particle vaccine to be fast tracked to licensure. 45
There likely will be lots of questions about whether the fast tracked coronavirus vaccine was studied long enough to adequately demonstrate safety, especially for people who have trouble resolving strong inflammatory responses in their bodies and may be at greater risk for vaccine reactions.678910 However, there is no question about what will happen if the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) 1112 recommends that all Americans get the newly licensed coronavirus vaccine.
The government has a National Vaccine Plan. It is a Plan designed to make sure you, your child and everyone in America gets every dose of every vaccine that government officials recommend now and in the future.
1986-1996: Establishing & Creating The Plan
Established under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act during the Reagan Administration, 13 the Plan didn’t really get traction until Congress funded the Vaccines for Children program in 1993 under the Clinton Administration 1415 and gave the Department of Health and Human Services authority to fund a network of state-based electronic vaccine tracking registries 16 that can monitor the vaccination histories of children without the informed consent of their parents.
In 1995, then Secretary of Health Donna Shalala used rule-making authority to authorize the Social Security Administration to disclose the social security number of every baby born in the country to state governments without parental consent.17 Federal officials explained that – quote -“public health program uses of the social security numbers would include, but are not limited to, establishing immunization registries” and that new routine use of social security numbers would help the government operate “a national network of coordinated statewide immunization registries.” 18
By 1996, when Congress established a national Electronic Health Records (EHR) system under HIPPA, 19 the stage had been set for a government-operated electronic surveillance system to monitor the personal medical records and vaccination status of all Americans. 20212223 The justification for this big data grab by the government, which clearly violated the privacy of Americans, was to- quote – “protect the public by reducing disease.”
Nationwide Electronic Health Records & Vaccine Tracking Systems
Today, the nationwide federally funded Electronic Health Records system captures the details of every visit you make to a doctor’s office, hospital, pharmacy, laboratory or other medical facility; every medical diagnosis you get; every drug you have been prescribed and every vaccine you accept or refuse. Your Electronic Health Record can be accessed not only by government health agencies like the Social Security Administration, Medicaid and federal and state health and law enforcement agencies, 2425 but also can be shared with authorized third parties such as doctors, health insurance companies, HMOs and other corporations, hospitals, labs, nursing homes and medical researchers. 262728
A new Health Information Exchange 293031 initiative funded by the government will make it even easier for computerized health and vaccine records databases to tag, track down and sanction Americans who do not go along with the National Vaccine Plan in the future. 32333435363738
What Happened to the Plan’s Duty to Prevent Adverse Reactions to Vaccines?
Ironically, when Congress directed the Department of Health and Human Services to create a National Vaccine Program in the 1986 Act, federal health officials were told to put together a Plan to – quote -“achieve optimal prevention of human infectious diseases through immunization and to achieve optimal prevention against adverse reactions to vaccines.” 39 The Plan was not supposed to focus solely on vaccine development and promotion but to equally focus on preventing vaccine reactions.
Yet, in the very first 1994 National Vaccine Plan only four out of 25 “objectives” and only two out of 14 anticipated “outcomes” addressed preventing vaccine reactions. 40 The 2010 version of the Plan 41 also largely ignored the legal duty of HHS to conduct vaccine safety research to fill in long standing knowledge gaps and take steps to make vaccines and vaccine policies less likely to cause harm. 4243444546474849505152
Looking back, it appears Congress was not really committed to funding research and creating substantive initiatives to reduce vaccine risks, regardless of what was stated in the 1986 Act, or there would been congressional oversight and federal agencies would have been directed to follow the law rather than ignore it for more than 30 years. 53
Government’s Vaccine Marketing Plan for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Instead, government agencies have brazenly forged lucrative public private business partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry and the medical establishment to:
raise vaccination rates among children to nearly 100 percent; 59
create and expand electronic vaccine tracking registries; 6061626364 and
promote global vaccination programs, 6566 even though the primary purpose of the 1986 Act was to reduce vaccine reactions and protect the U.S. childhood vaccine supply, 67 not fund and expand global vaccination programs.
In fact, federal health officials accurately characterize the U.S. vaccination system in the 21st century as a business. A decade ago they admitted that – quote -“The 2010 National Vaccine Plan provides a vision for the U.S. vaccine and immunization enterprise for the next decade.” 68 That’s because they know the National Vaccine Plan is really a Vaccine Marketing Plan for the pharmaceutical industry. 69707172
So, if you are wondering why many states are trying to pass laws eliminating all vaccine exemptions and mandate every vaccine the pharmaceutical industry produces and the CDC recommends, 73747576 you don’t have to look any further than the government’s well-financed National Vaccine Plan.
Implementation of The Plan Accelerated in 2011
Implementation of the Plan was accelerated in 2011 after the U.S. Supreme Court declared FDA licensed vaccines to be –quote – “unavoidably unsafe” for the purpose of removing almost all remaining liability from drug companies when vaccines hurt people. 7778
Since 2011, two powerful CDC-appointed vaccine advisory committees influenced by members associated with the pharmaceutical and medical trade industries – the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) 7980818283 and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) 848586 – have been busy coming up with new ways to meet strategic goals of the National Vaccine Plan.
When highly publicized cases of measles were reported in California’s Disneyland in 2015 87 and in New York in 2019, 8889 with military precision pursuit of the Plan was kicked into even high gear. 9091
During the past five years, California, Vermont, New York, Maine and Hawaii have lost vaccine exemptions, even though tens of thousands of Americans rose up in protest. 92 In 2019, the people managed to hold on to exemptions in states like Oregon, Arizona and New Jersey 93 but this year, bills to force vaccine use are already threatening parental, civil and human rights in Virginia, Massachusetts, Florida, Washington, Pennsylvania and more. 94
Five Main Types of Vaccine Laws Being Proposed in States
These are the five main types of laws being proposed in the states and your state may be one of them:
Number One:State laws that eliminate all personal belief vaccine exemptions allowing you to follow your conscience or religious beliefs and make it illegal for physicians to grant a medical exemption unless it strictly conforms to very narrow CDC-approved contraindications to vaccination.
National vaccine coverage rates among school children are at 95 percent for core vaccines like polio, pertussis, measles and chickenpox, yet, government health officials are not satisfied. 95 They have narrowed vaccine contraindications so that almost no medical history or health condition qualifies as a reason for a medical exemption. 96
If you or your child have had previous vaccine reactions, are vaccine injured, have a brother or sister who was injured or died after vaccination, or are suffering with a brain or immune system disorder that the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) does not consider to be a contraindication to vaccination, states like California 9798 are denying physicians the right to exercise professional judgment and give children a medical exemption to vaccination are threatening human rights. 99
No wonder less than one percent of vaccine reactions are ever reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System 100 and doctors feel free to discriminate against and deny medical care to anyone who is not vaccinated according to CDC schedules. 101
Laws that eliminate medical, religious and conscience exemptions to vaccination and ban citizens from getting a school education – even a college education – do violate civil and human rights and so do vaccine mandates by employers who fire or refuse to hire workers based on their vaccination status. 102103104 The two professions being targeted first for workplace vaccine mandates are healthcare 105106107 and childcare workers, 108109 but they certainly will not be the last. 110
Number Two: State laws that turn unelected members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices into de facto lawmakers and automatically mandate all current and future federally recommended vaccines without any public discussion or vote by duly elected state legislators.
Under the U.S. Constitution, state legislatures hold the majority of power to pass public health laws, so vaccine laws are state laws. 111112 If states hand that constitutional authority over to an unelected federal government committee, the people no longer can work through their elected state representatives to make sure laws do not force involuntary medical risk taking and punish citizens exercising civil and human rights. 113
It is clear that Pharma and medical trade lobbyists partnering with government officials to implement the National Vaccine Plan are unhappy they have to spend so much time and money trying to strong arm state legislators into mandating every CDC recommended vaccine. At the same time, some politicians are not happy that a growing number of Americans are showing up in state Capitols to oppose oppressive vaccine mandates.
Today, it costs a staggering $3,000 to give a child every one of the 69 doses of 16 vaccines on the federal government’s schedule. 114 In addition to coronavirus vaccine, there are more than a dozen experimental vaccines being fast tracked to market for TB, influenza, HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, herpes simplex, strep A and B, e-coli, RSV, salmonella, and malaria, 115 with several hundred more being developed in a global vaccine market estimated to balloon to nearly $100 billion by 2026. 116117
State laws that automatically mandate all federally recommended vaccines are handing Big Pharma a big blank check and putting an unknown number of vaccine vulnerable children and adults at risk for serious health problems if they are forced to use every one of them. 118119120121122
Number Three: State laws that allow doctors to declare minor children mentally competent to consent to vaccination so children can be vaccinated without the knowledge of their parents.
There is plenty of scientific evidence that children’s brains are not developed enough before or during teenage years to support rational benefit and risk decision-making, especially if they are subjected to pressure. 123124Giving doctors the legal authority to, in effect, go behind parents’ backs and persuade a minor child to get liability free vaccines violates the legal right of parents to consent to medical interventions performed on their children. 125 It also puts vaccine vulnerable children at greater risk for suffering reactions. 126
Parents know their child’s personal and family medical history best and if parents are left in the dark, not only are they blocked from preventing vaccine reactions but there is no way for them to monitor a child after vaccination for signs of reactions so they can immediately take their child for treatment. 127
Number Four: State laws requiring schools to publicly post vaccine coverage rates for the purpose of shaming schools that allow students with vaccine exemptions to receive a school education.
Publicly posting school vaccination rates and numbers of students with exemptions creates a hostile community environment by targeting certain schools and families, whose children have vaccine exemptions, for discrimination and abuse. 128129130
It is an illusion that some schools are safer based on vaccination rates. For example, even schools with 100 percent vaccination rates and zero exemptions have had outbreaks of pertussis 131 and schools with very high vaccination rates have had outbreaks of measles and mumps. 132133 That is because vaccinated children and adults can get infected with and transmit infectious diseases but sometimes show few or no symptoms and are never diagnosed or reported. 134135136137138139140
Children and teachers interact with many other vaccinated and unvaccinated people outside of the school setting. It is discriminatory to require public posting of the numbers of healthy students with vaccine exemptions, when schools are not required to publicly post the numbers of students who are infected with transmissible diseases like hepatitis B and C, HIV, streptococcal, mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus, e-coli, Fifths disease, herpes simplex and more.
Number Five: State laws that operate vaccine tracking registries and integrate them into Electronic Health Records systems without the consent of those being tracked.
The National Vaccine Information Center has a two-decade public record of opposing the creation of national or state based electronic surveillance systems that automatically enroll children and adults without their informed consent to monitor their vaccination status and health histories. 141
Not only have there been past security breaches with electronic databases dumping personally identifying information into the public domain, 142 but there is legitimate concern that the government should not be conducting electronic surveillance on citizens while pursuing a National Vaccine Plan that encourages punitive societal sanctions, such as the inability to get a school education or a job, for individuals who refuse to go along with the Plan.

Making Government Work for Us
In America, we are governed by laws that the representatives we elect make, so it is important to vet all candidates for positions on issues you care about before going to the polls. Good laws can be enacted and bad laws can be repealed but only if we wake up, stand up and actively participate to make our representative government work for us.
Already this year, there have been more than 50 good bills introduced in a number of states that defend voluntary vaccine choices. This is a time for positive action.
It’s your health. Your family. Your choice.

Dr. Carrie Madej Urgently Warns Against Coming DARPA HydroGel in COVID Vaccines, Total Control of Humans Through AI
Dr. Carrie Madej, DO is a Internal Medicine Specialist in McDonough, GA and has over 19 years of experience in the medical field. She graduated from Kansas City Univ Of Medicine Bioscience College Of Osteopathic Medicine medical school in 2001. She is affiliated with medical facilities Piedmont Fayette Hospital and Southern Regional Medical Center. (Medical biography) (Hydrogels)
A New Jersey man passed out and crashed into a telephone pole this week, and police believe the accident could have been avoided if he hadn’t worn an N95 mask while driving.
People around the country have been asked to wear facial coverings while out in public to help stop the spread of coronavirus. But according to the Lincoln Park Police Department, wearing an N95 mask too long can cause someone to inadvertently restrict their oxygen — which is what they believed happened to a man who crashed his car on Thursday.
“The LPPD responded to a lone occupant single car motor vehicle crash yesterday,” the department said in a post to their Facebook page on Friday. “The crash is believed to have resulted from the driver wearing an N95 mask for several hours and subsequently passing out behind the wheel due to insufficient oxygen intake/excessive carbon dioxide intake.”
“Motorists and the public alike are reminded that while masks should be used in public settings to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, they are not necessary outdoors when social distancing can be maintained, and especially not necessary when driving a vehicle with no additional occupants,” they added.
A photo included in the LPPD’s post showed a ruby red vehicle with a badly damaged front end. An additional photo from the scene showed a telephone pole snapped at its base.
The driver was transported to the hospital for a “complaint of pain” and he sustained no life-threatening injuries, the department said.
According to the California Department of Public Health, N95 respirators may make breathing more difficult and can lead to increased breathing and heart rates.
The CDPH advises people with heart and respiratory conditions to check with their doctor before using an N95 respirator. They also recommended respirators be worn no longer than eight hours and should never be used in a confined space with low oxygen levels. When used properly, the respirator masks are effective against biological particles such as pollen, mold spores, bacteria, and viruses.
What do you do when, on an issue of great importance to you, two opposing politicians stand the same way, which is dead against what you believe? You support one candidate in almost every other way, but his position on “X” is a stinker. A deal-breaker. The problem is, the other candidate is no better on it.
Trump has positioned himself as is the opponent of unconstitutional lockdowns and proponent of opening schools, and there is no reason to believe he is not sincere. As he is liable to do, he has gone off-script and blurted out inconvenient truths like, if you get COVID, you have a “99.9% chance of living.”
Actually the president is wrong. It is 99.8%, according to the latest estimate by the CDC. Some media outlets, ever eager to keep the panic high, now even dispute that the CDC is correct. But they do not dispute that is what the CDC says.
99.8% chance of living, and possibly higher, depending on how something called the asymptomatic rate pans out. That is the percent of infections which show no symptoms, or mild symptoms, before the body’s natural immune system finds the virus, creates the antibody attack, and exterminates it.
Quick, call the priest.
Thus, it is a complete mystery, if Trump thinks this is “no big deal,” and from the standpoint of past pandemics, it isn’t, why Trump is pushing so hard for Operation Warp Speed and a vaccine which, without a doubt, will be mandated for adults, if they want to get back to “normal.”
Although Trump has said he is against mandatory adult vaccination, he has a record of taking the correct position on an issue and then pushing the dirty work down to the governors.
It is a terrifying prospect. Trump leaving it to the same governors who still gleefully exert extraordinary powers, despite the new CDC estimate. Lock down, don’t lock down, oops, better lock down again – in the most fantastic coup over a Constitution that the world has ever seen, without a shot being fired. With many even cheering it on and applauding “strong leadership.” A strong leader. Now where have we heard that before?
“Normal” means return to the office, return to sporting events, return to movie theaters, to shopping, including food shopping. If you are vaccinated. No vaccine, no airline travel, no drivers license. We are no longer talking about mandatory school vaccinations. We are talking about vaccination as a condition of the right to live as adults.
If we allow this to pass, those who choose not to be vaccinated will be shunned and left to starve in their homes. And there will be people who think they deserve it. Just look at all those people wearing face masks in their cars.
Anyone who presumes governors could not be so callous as to force a hastily tested, new type of vaccine upon a population should remember these are the politicians who, in the name of looking strong, allowed thousands of patients needing critical surgeries deemed “elective” to perish. Some governors, in episodes for which accountability is yet to come, sent COVID patients into nursing homes, causing mini-Holocausts.
They will do it.
Where to turn if both Trump and Biden are on the same page? Neither willing to take a stand on a dangerous, mandatory adult vaccine for a virus which deals out a 99.8% chance of living?
In the long slumber from which many Americans are just awakening, politically, as they gaze around yawning, there is one institution and type of politician which should catch their eye. Probably 9 out of 10 Americans – it would be interesting to know how many – don’t know who their state representatives or state senators are.
These are your local representatives, much more accessible than congressmen, who can tell governors what to do, or not to do, or impeach them.
The average congressional district is huge, about 700,000 people. They act as out-of-touch princes once they win. The average state representative district is around 50,000, some as small as a few thousand. You can definitely find and meet with your state representative. You have probably walked past him or her in the supermarket, or in the street, many times, without knowing it.
A state house district is small enough to run in and win without spending a whole lot of money, if you knock on a lot of doors and are determined.
The governors hold the key to mandatory adult vaccination, and the state house representatives hold the keys to the governors. And you, who may live just down the road or around the corner and not know it, have the ears of the state representatives. With no expensive, useless long trip to DC for 10 minutes with the prince or princess of your congressional district.
A state rep is around. You can call him. Harangue him after church. Remind him that he still hasn’t signed that pledge.
That pledge to wholeheartedly oppose and fight against any attempt at a mandatory adult vaccine to get a drivers license, to travel, to go to work or go into a store. The pledge to join in impeaching the governor should the governor attempt to order so. The pledge you are circulating to your neighbors so they can ask him to sign it too.
The sleeping giant must awaken, but it must do so soon. Tomorrow, find out who your state representative is, and pick up the phone. Make an appointment. Tell them you would like to come in and make the acquaintance, and talk about a few things on your mind about vaccinations, developed at “warp speed,” pushed by Bill Gates, for a virus that gives you a 99.8% chance of living.
About your right to decide what goes into your own bloodstream.
How quickly we forget. In 1955, Cutter Laboratories put out a rushed polio vaccine which resulted in 40,000 children getting polio, paralyzing 200, and killing 10.
Indeed, the entire argument for any kind of vaccination is corrupt. What do vaccinated people care about those who choose not to be? They are vaccinated. The argument is that everyone should be vaccinated to protect individuals with compromised immune systems. But healthy people should not be put at risk only so unhealthy people are not, when isolation for the vulnerable until there is herd immunity is the least risky course for everyone.
A textbook example of contempt for the intelligence of the American public has emerged in a media attempt to make Trump look wrong, when he is actually right. A Yahoo News headline reads: “White House defends Trump’s claim that 99 percent of COVID-19 cases are ‘harmless’ with chart showing 5 percent are fatal.”
The article refers to Trumps remark over the weekend that “99 percent” of U.S. coronavirus cases are “totally harmless,” a correct appraisal of the CDC’s latest overall infection fatality rate which includes all infections, whether they are symptomatic or asymptomatic, diagnosed or undiagnosed. The CDC now estimates that over 99.7% of people infected with COVID will recover. Most will never even know they had it.
The CDC estimated survival rate is now over 99.7% of all cases, both confirmed and unconfirmed. The number touted by the media to contradict Trump’s claim is the 5% of confirmed, diagnosed cases who die, which does not take into account the vast number of COVID infections which show no symptoms or show mild symptoms, after which the infected person’s immune systems builds antibodies on its own.
The widely accepted total infection mortality rate for common flu is .1%. The CDC infection mortality rate estimate for COVID is now .25 to .3 percent.
The Yahoo News headline, which appears on millions of browsers around the world as a part of Yahoo’s search engine, begins:
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany came to her press briefing on Monday prepared to defend President Trump’s claim over the weekend that “99 percent” of U.S. coronavirus cases are “totally harmless” with two charts illustrating the country’s COVID-19 death rate.
But McEnany’s slides showed a case fatality rate — the percentage of confirmed cases that result in death — of 4.6 percent, not the 1 percent implied by Trump.
But the 4.6 percent is an entirely different measure, as is comparing apples to oranges. The 4.6% deaths is for only diagnosed, confirmed cases. Many times more cases are asymptomatic and never confirmed or diagnosed. Adding these to confirmed cases gives the true mortality rate of the virus. Typically the total is referred to as infections.
Those most at risk of death, as with influenza, are frail elderly, mostly in nursing homes, and people with serious co-morbidities, the primary one of which is morbid obesity. These are people who are roughy 80 to 100 pounds overweight, and have trouble breathing or walking.
The estimated total infection fatality rate of COVID – all diagnosed and undiagnosed cases, has been in steady decline since present lockdown policies began to be announced in March, as more studies show that the great majority of infections are asymptomatic or show only mild symptoms.
Media reporting on the coronavirus, in fact, seems to have devolved into a juvenile press corp keen for the next opportunity to do a “gotcha” of Trump on an issue which has resulted in millions of Americans out of work, and facing life-changing decisions. Another glaring omission in reporting is the context of pandemics in recent decades which never resulted in the barest whisper of shutdowns, but which in per capita terms, took more lives that the present COVID. This is the case with both the 1957 and 1968 flu pandemics, which most people have never even heard of.
The John Harvard statue in Harvard Yard was donning a surgical mask today. Due to the international Coronavirus Disease (COVID-2019) Harvard University President, Lawrence Bacow asked that students not return to campus after Spring Recess and to meet academic requirements remotely until further notice. Rose Lincoln/Harvard Staff Photographer.
Only freshmen invited back, other classes must stay home take courses online. Tuition the same, $40, 000 a year.
We’ll see how parents, even rich ones, like paying what could be a quarter million dollars all told for a degree from Phoenix Academy.
The CDC’s latest estimate of COVID mortality rate is down to .25%, about the same as the common flu. sources here, and here.
That means the survival rate of all people who get COVID-19 is about 99.8%, versus flu at about 99.9% What no CNN?
Along with the capacity limits, Harvard says it will require all students on campus to undergo regular virus testing. All students will be tested upon arrival on campus, officials said, and then once every three days. Any students who test positive will be placed in isolation. The university says it has space to isolate 250 students at a time.
“Students must agree not only to the standard Code of Student Conduct, but also to a set of protocols outlined in The UMass Agreement, a commitment that they will be required to sign. The protocols students must adhere to will include but are not limited to strict physical distancing, wearing face coverings outside personal living spaces, limiting social contacts to a minimal number of people per day, the prohibition of guests in residence halls, subjecting themselves to virus testing on demand, daily self-monitoring and reporting, assisting with contact tracing, and limiting travel away from the immediate campus area for work and/or emergencies only.“
…In addition, students will be subject to surveillance testing and will also be tested if they demonstrate any symptoms of COVID-19. Given the prevalence of the virus in the general population, it is expected that a number of students will test positive for COVID-19 while remaining asymptomatic. As is required under CDC and Massachusetts Department of Public Health guidelines, those who test positive for the virus, even those who are asymptomatic, will be required to self-isolate. ..Compliance with these requirements is a condition for returning to and remaining on campus.”
As the revised survival rate overall for COVID-19 goes up to 99.8% , human trials for Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine have resulted in three out of 15, twenty percent, of one group of volunteers getting seriously ill.
By way of comparison, the survival rate among the general population for common flu is 99.9%.
The volunteers experienced reactions involving their whole bodies, classified as “serious” adverse events. “Serious” adverse events are reactions which require hospitalization or medical intervention.
Moderna is one of the Trump administration’s “Operation Warp Speed” companies which is receiving billions in federal funds to develop a COVID vaccine, possibly by this October, a controversial time-frame.
Most experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, have said that a safe vaccine cannot be developed in under 12 to 18 months. But the FDA has granted drug companies special exemptions from the usually long and arduous process of conducting animal trials.
“the most notable adverse events were seen at the 250 µg dose level, comprising three participants with grade 3 systemic symptoms, only following the second dose.”
After one of the volunteers’ second dose, the medical journal StatNews.com reported that the volunteer:
“started to get chills…His fingertips felt cold. He fell asleep, but woke up a few hours later with a raging fever. At 1:30 a.m., his temperature was 103.2 degrees. At 3:45, it was 103 degrees. He was nauseous, and his muscles hurt.”
After being treated in a nearby urgent care unit, given Tylenol, and offered admission to a nearby hospital, the participant decided to head home.
“He and his girlfriend arrived home at 7 a.m., and he slept until noon. His temperature was 101.5. He got up to go to the bathroom, and became so nauseous he threw up. On his way back from the bathroom, he fainted. His girlfriend caught him and kept his head from hitting the floor.”
“Vaccine development is a long, complex process, often lasting 10-15 years and involving a combination of public and private involvement.”
Dr. Paul Offit, who helped invent the rotavirus vaccine, told CNN that timeline [12 to18 months] was “ridiculously optimistic.”
Peter Hotez, the dean of Baylor University’s National School of Tropical Medicine, told National Geographic the 18-month timeline “would be absolutely unprecedented.”
Of the Moderna setbacks, William Schaffner, professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said that side effects may be “noteworthy, but it doesn’t stop the train.”
“DoD and HHS announced a $138 million contract with ApiJect for more than 100 million prefilled syringes for distribution across the United States by year-end 2020, as well as the development of manufacturing capacity for the ultimate production goal of over 500 million prefilled syringes in 2021.”
“Responding to President Trump’s call to develop 300 million doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine by January under Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and AstraZeneca are collaborating to make available at least 300 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine called AZD1222, with the first doses delivered as early as October 2020.”
Another company, Pfizer, has projected that its vaccine will be ready for use by the end of October.
Many doctors and scientists question whether a vaccine for a 99.8% survival rate disease is even necessary. Previous strains of flu and virus have been much dealer than COVID (chart below.)
“There has never been a vaccine for any coronavirus. And many vaccine developers have based their designs on previous research into other coronaviruses, like SARS or MERS, which share genetic similarities with SARS-CoV-2, but differences as well. Much still remains unknown about the novel coronavirus, and how our bodies respond to infection.”
Writing for Nature Magazine, Shibo Jiang, professor of virology at the School of Basic Medical Sciences, Fudan University, China, and at the New York Blood Center, New York, says:
“I have worked to develop vaccines and treatments for coronaviruses since 2003, when the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak happened. In my view, standard protocols are essential for safeguarding health. Before allowing use of a COVID-19 vaccine in humans, regulators should evaluate safety with a range of virus strains and in more than one animal model…Work with the SARS virus shows that worrying immune responses were seen in ferrets and monkeys, but not in mice.”
“COVID-19, like other coronaviruses, is expected to mutate at least every season, raising serious questions about claims that any vaccine will work. A successful vaccine has never been developed for any of the many strains of coronaviruses, due to the nature of the virus itself; and vaccinated people can have a higher chance of serious illness and death when later exposed to another strain of the virus, a phenomenon known as ‘virus interference.’ An earlier SARS vaccine never made it to market because the laboratory animals it was tested on contracted more serious symptoms on re-infection, and most of them died.”
Deaths may not happen immediately, but in a following season upon exposure to a wild virus.
“Scientists first attempted to develop coronavirus vaccines after China’s 2002 SARS-CoV outbreak. Teams of US & foreign scientists vaccinated animals with the four most promising vaccines. At first, the experiment seemed successful as all the animals developed a robust antibody response to coronavirus. However, when the scientists exposed the vaccinated animals to the wild virus, the results were horrifying. Vaccinated animals suffered hyper-immune responses including inflammation throughout their bodies, especially in their lungs. Researchers had seen this same “enhanced immune response” during human testing of the failed RSV vaccine tests in the 1960s. Two children died.”
Little noted in almost all debate about COVID vaccines is the abject animal cruelty involved in experiments.
In a profile by Science Magazine of Patrick Soon-Shiong, a South-African-American billionaire-scientist whose vaccine candidate has been selected by Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, the magazine, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, contends that Soon-Shiung’s COVID vaccine could increase susceptibility to HIV infection.
In all of these biotech companies and others, billionaire and vaccination proponent Bill Gates has purchased stock, given financial support to, or both. The Wall Street Journal has in the past reported:
“The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has purchased shares in nine big pharmaceutical companies valued at nearly $205 million — an investment likely to attract attention more for its symbolism than its size….With its investment in Merck & Co., Pfizer Inc., Johnson & Johnson and others, the foundation has a financial interest in common with makers of AIDS drugs, diagnostic tools, vaccines and other drugs.”
In recent weeks, the CDC’s estimated case mortality rate for COVID-19, which includes both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, has plunged to a rate close to the common flu, which is .1% When the national state of emergency was declared in March, US health authorities said they believed the mortality rate might be as high as 6%, leading to ominous warnings of over 2 million dead in the US.
The warnings turned out to be unfounded, and the Imperial College professor whose model was used as the basis for the warnings has since been called “one of the most wrong” scientists, by other scientists.
According to Kennedy Jr. of Children’s Health Defense, Moderna appears to be less than forthcoming about problems exposed by its trials.
“Moderna’s press release was the first I learned of the 3 [adverse events] in the high dose group.”
Kennedy Jr. writes:
“Moderna encouraged the volunteer to appear on TV to declare Moderna’s COVID vaccine trials a success. On May 7, the volunteer told CNN’s Sanjay Gupta about his reactions in a pre-interview. The two men agreed to keep the adverse events secret when he went on air.”
Kennedy Jr. rejects the term “anti-vaxxer,” which is often leveled against him, as an inaccurate description of his views. Kennedy distinguishes anti-vaccination activists from those who believe in the value of some vaccinations, but nevertheless insist on safety and caution in the development of the ever-increasing number of vaccines.
Moderna is a new company which has never brought a vaccine, or any other drug, to market.
Although the initial plea to public spiritedness last March was for the public to help “flatten the curve,” the new mantra in the media now seems to be preventing “spikes” in new cases. This is a goal which many immunologists say is neither achievable, nor necessarily desirable, and especially for a virus with as low a mortality rate as COVID-19.
Dr. John Ioannidis, C.F. Rehnborg Chair in Disease Prevention at Stanford University, one of the most respected epidemiologists in the world, criticizes the media drumbeat over new cases as something that “doesn’t help.”
“And how long a lockdown is enough? If we open now, will lockdown recur in autumn? Next year? Whenever authoritarianism so wishes? No dictatorship could imagine a better precedent for absolute control. Lockdowns were desperate, defendable choices when we knew little about covid-19. But, now that we know more, we should avoid exaggeration.”
Liberal comedian Bill Maher has urged media to stop the “panic porn.”
In Arizona, where new cases inevitably rose after the governor allowed bars and other establishments to reopen, the vast majority of new cases will recover after showing mild symptoms or no symptoms. In the week between June 24st and July 1st, 254 deaths in Arizona were attributed to the coronavirus, overwhelmingly elderly.
But on average, about 1300 people die in Arizona on any given week, overwhelmingly elderly, overwhelmingly of cancers or diseases. The governor has ordered bars and gyms to close again.
Despite the overall death rate of COVID-19 now resembling the common flu, extraordinary intrusions and losses of freedom continue to be foisted upon populations around the world, including Americans. Most people, unbeknownst to them, now have contact tracing software on their phones, unrequested and without notice during their last automatic OS upgrade.
Topics such as natural, food and supplement-based ways to boost the immune system, no matter what one’s age, are now taboo and mocked in the media as “quackery,” even if documented by hard scientific studies cited in respected sources such as the Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. David Katz, founder of Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, says that humans’ normal robust immune systems are a potent weapon against most viruses. Children are especially well-equipped to defeat viruses with robust, normal immune responses.
“If a germ can’t secure its hold on your body, your body no longer serves as a vector to send it forward to the next potential host. This is true even if that next person is not yet immune. When enough of us represent such “dead ends” for viral transmission, spread through the population is blunted, and eventually terminated. This is called herd immunity.”
In other words, one way to drive new infections down to nothing is herd immunity.
To arguments that in the case of COVID, there is a possibility that the virus could reinfect someone who has already had it, Dr. Katz rebuts:
“The big problem with this story is this: If infection itself does not confer immunity, there is just about zero hope that any vaccine could.”
The coronavirus pandemic never threatened to overwhelm most health systems except in a few geographic locations. In the US, nearly half of all deaths ascribed to COVID were in just three states: New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, and the vast majority of those deaths have been in the New York City metropolitan area.
On May 25, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration issued a directive to nursing homes to accept COVID patients, despite the outcry of nursing home executives. On the same day, it was reported that 45 refrigerator trucks had been ordered by New York City in anticipation of a flood of deaths.
One week later, stories of refrigerated trucks in NYC loaded with corpses hit the news. One nursing home executive told the New York Post that Governor Cuomo has “blood on his hands.”
Nevertheless, the hospital ship Comfort sailed away from New York Harbor with only 22 of its one thousand beds being used. US Army field hospital tents across the country were folded up and sent home without treating a single patient.
Another region whose experience early on caused panic was Italy, which had its health care system stressed to the maximum and had a high number of deaths per capita. But as Dr. Ioannidis of Stanford points out, Italy’s health care system is so poor it is stressed even in the summer, after flu season is over. Italy also has the second oldest population in the world, next to Japan, and a high incidence of smokers and chronic co-morbidities such as diabetes.
Almost always missing the COVID media narrative is any kind of context. Although 500,000 deaths worldwide have been attributed to COVID, up to 650,000 people a year perish in a bad flu season. This year it is likely that any pneumonia death is being reported as COVID, even those arising from normal flu.
Each week, 60,000 people die somewhere in the US, mostly of diseases hitting mostly the very old and infirm. The average age of the COVID death is 80, most often with serious conditions such as cancers, lung or heart disease, morbid obesity, Alzheimer’s, or strokes.
Per capita, in the 1957 and 1968 many more people died in the US than presently from COVID. There was never a single mention of a health crisis on Walter Cronkite’s Six O’Clock News.
Despite COVID’s low death rate which resembles common flus, a relentless drive is underway to plunge needles into people, and to ostracize and make life impossible for all who resist.
Anticipated are governors declaring under emergency powers that for the unvaccinated, there will be no driver’s license, airline travel, no entry into food stores or public areas, gyms, workplaces, shopping malls, bars, or restaurants. Along with this would eventually come some sort of biometric proof of current vaccination state.
The effect would be the permanent tagging of all members of society with all manner of data not visible to him or her, that is, all members who are not able to afford private planes, private dining and drinking clubs, or mansions with private swimming pools and private gyms. Where no vaccine passports or biochips will be required.
Dangerous vaccines for disease with as low a mortality rate as COVID will be for the peasants, along with the constant surveillance of contact tracing and GPS location that you cannot turn off.
Influential members of the wealthy elite have ferociously argued against any person’s right to not get vaccinated. Bill Gates, who has no college degree and no medical credentials, but does have stock investments in vaccine companies, has said:
“It is fair to say that things won’t go back to truly normal until we have a vaccine that we’ve gotten out to basically the entire world.”
Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said recently that “The state has the power to literally take you to a doctor’s office, and plunge a needle into your arm.”
Dershowitz: ‘state has power to plunge a needle into your arm.’
Bill Gates has demanding, and gotten, immunity from lawsuits should anything bad happen.
Thousands of illiterate Indian girls between the ages of 9 and 15 were used as human gunea pigs for a Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine. Nor could any of their parents read nor write to understand consent forms. Thumbprints were used for signatures. A large number of the girls fell gravely ill, and some died. Times of India reported that a investigation discovered that the objective of the study was not to protect the girls from the virus, but “to collect and record data on the effect of the vaccines on the minor subjects.”
Companies like AstraZeneca has said they would forego making a profit during the pandemic, but once rounds of vaccines are begun on which humans will rely, rather than their own immune systems, an unlimited horizon of profits awaits.
So eager is AstraZeneca to jab people with needles, that it is already pre-filling syringes with its vaccine in case tests this year pass muster, willing to throw them all away if they don’t. This is in partnership with Bill Gates, who put up $750 million for the project, no doubt out of altruistic motives.
With the American middle-class being choked of life as slowly as with a cop’s knee on its throat, with stores struggling with governor’s orders for 25% or 50% capacity, a ticking economic time bomb is brewing that might explain the rush to put much of the population under contact trace surveillance, under the justification of COVID.
Pushback from the people in the US is, and must be, on the level of the thousands of State House representatives who are up for re-election this November. The Trump administration has devolved true power to governors. It is only the state representatives, assemblymen, and state senators who can reign them in. As of now 25 state legislators have signed onto a bill in Pennsylvania, for impeachment of the governor.
Some state high courts, such as in Wisconsin and Kentucky, have struck down their governors’ new Caesarial powers, but courts are finicky from state to state. The representative power in state governments, which can impeach or over-rule a governor, is squarely in the hands of the state legislatures.
Legislatures can strip governors of emergency powers.
In America, congressmen are insulated by money and signature-gathering requirements which make challenges a herculean task. Not so state representatives. Although much attention is being devoted to the epic presidential contest for the White House in 2020, who holds the State Houses may be of even greater importance.
Gates is wrong. Going back to “normal” does not depend on a vaccine. It depends on governors being put back in their place, and not being allowed to exploit a flu-like disease to grab powers for government previously undreamed of.
