FOLLOWING THE SCIENCE PART V
Risk and the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System
“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).”
Adverse event data has been used to withdraw a vaccine on a handful of occasions since 1990. In most instances they were withdrawn because of contamination but there are two notable exceptions. Prior to VAERS, in 1976 CDC learned that Guillian Barre Syndrome (GBS) and the related Transverse Myelitis(TM) were occurring at a rate of 1/100,000 (0.001%) Swine Flu vaccinations. Based on those reports CDC stopped its Swine flu vaccination program. However, CDC resumed its seasonal flu vaccination program and since 1990 they have continued to receive reports of GBS/TM in VAERS.
Between 1990 and 2008 there were fewer than 100 cases/year of GBS/TM reported among flu vaccine recipients. Between 2009 and 2020 the number of reports of GBS/TM following flu vaccinations ranged between 128 -281 reports/year.
In 2021 there were 2,691 new reports of GBS/TM reported to VAERS. Of those,131 were reported by recipients of seasonal flu vaccine. Of the remaining 2,560 cases reported to VAERS 2,511 followed vaccination for SARS-CoV-2. Of those 2,511 cases of GBS/TM reported to VAERS 1,566 followed vaccinations with the Pfizer vaccine.
Unfortunately, CDC has made it impossible to determine what the case report rate of GBS/TM is because of their constantly changing definition of “fully vaccinated” which caused many vaccine recipients who believed they were “fully vaccinated” , to be put back in the “unvaccinated” category because they may have stopped their vaccination regimen at one shot or they hadn’t met the criteria of 14 days after the second dose or they did not have a “booster”. The data is further complicated by the continued assertion that those who recovered from COVID-19 and, therefore, have durable, natural immunity and were never vaccine are considered “unvaccinated”.
Nevertheless the tremendous increase in reports of GBS/TM should be sufficient for the CDC to deploy the members of its Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) to determine if causality exists.
Other VAERS Reports of Concern
As noted above, VAERS “…is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines….”
Since its inception in 1990 VAERS has received 1,995,357 reports world wide. Of those 1,053,828 were received between the onset of the vaccination program in 2020 and January 14, 2022. More reports of death following COVID-19 vaccination have been received than for all other vaccinations combined.
The warning alarms are blaring - yet CDC and FDA and the Pharmaceutical companies while acknowledging a link between the vaccine and the inflammatory heart diseases myo/pericarditis (see OpenVAERS.com “Red Box summaries) in otherwise health young people (mostly men), have failed to address the myriad of other reported Adverse Events. Despite the wailing of the alarms the push to vaccinate continues.
There are also solid associations between reproductive health and the vaccine and the number of deaths being reported but not investigated continues unabated.
Other Adverse Events being reported among vaccine recipients include:
Heart Attacks
Permanent Disability
Thrombocytopenia/Low Platelet Count
Severe Allergic Reaction
Shingles
Anaphylaxis
Hospitalization
Despite this cacophony of warning sirens CDC’s EIS professionals seem to be too busy tracking down bacterial contamination in lettuce to conduct thorough investigations of the potential relationships between vaccine and Adverse Events.
By contrast, in 1998 five cases ( 0.05%) of intussception (bowel obstruction) were found among 10,054 children who received the vaccine RotaShield to prevent Rota virus induced gastroenteritis. As a consequence of this finding RotaShield was taken off the market.
Its Not Just VAERS
On January 24, 2022, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) hosted a panel called “COVID-19: A Second Opinion”. Three US Army physicians were featured and presented data from the Department of Defense Epidemiology Data based which revealed dramatic increases in miscarriages, myocarditis, cancer diagnoses, Bell’s Palsy, and Female infertility. With the exception of the increased incidence of cancer diagnosis, these are the same Adverse Events that have been reported to VAERS.
The diagnoses of cancer are particularly alarming. These doctors reported a 300% increase in cancer diagnoses from an average 38,700/year for the years 2016-2020 to a stunning 114,645 in 2021 alone.
The Gut Punch
In 2006 the FDA and CDC became concerned that VAERS was not capturing all of the potential Adverse Events that were occurring as a consequence of their various vaccination programs. To explore this question a grant was issued to Dr. Robert Lazarus, MD and his team at Harvard University. The final grant report has come to be known as the Lazarus Report.
In their Final Grant Repot, Lazarus and his team wrote:
”Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported. Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported.”
In other words it is quite possible that the true numbers of Adverse Events reported following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could be 100 times greater than is known.
Another investigator, Jessica Rose, PhD published a more in-depth analysis in 2021. Dr. Rose also concluded that the data in VAERS was grossly under reported and should be multiplied by a factor of 31 which she termed to be “a humble estimate”.
Whether you chose to use a factor of 31 or 100 is somewhat irrelevant since they both should drastically increase the level of the alarms going off on Clifton Rd. Road in Atlanta.
The Old Bottom Line
As I have stated throughout this piece the reports in VAERS and the DOD data base do not prove causality; they are intended to serve as only a warning system much like the radar stations comprising NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command). In this case the warning signal has been greatly amplified by the findings of Lazarus and Rose. Until the FDA, CDC, and the pharmaceutical companies use these data bases as they were intended to be used and launch serious investigations to determine whether causality between these Adverse Events and the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine exist these reports should remain cause for great concern and a demand that answers be found.
Final Thoughts
This is the last in the COVID series. I hope that those who have waded through these articles have found them instructive and that I have given you some insight into how our public health system and its leaders have been thoroughly corrupted by their relationships with the pharmaceutical industry.
As events warrant I may revisit the COVID saga but for now I, as I am certain you have, have grown weary of the debacle and politicalization of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 saga.
It is time to take back your freedom.
