COVID Shots Linked to Increased Risk of Alzheimer’s

A South Korean peer-reviewed study found statistically significant increases in the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment in people who received a COVID-19 vaccine — particularly mRNA vaccines — within three months of post-vaccination.

The South Korean researchers — who on May 28 published their findings in QJM: An International Journal of Medicine — said they undertook the study due to concerns of COVID-19 vaccine side effects, “particularly potential links to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.”

Medical commentator John Campbell, Ph.D., who analyzed the study on a July 22 episode of his YouTube show, asked why Western countries such as the U.S. or U.K. aren’t investigating such potential links. “Why is it often the Asian countries that seem to be leading the way in openness on this?”

According to Campbell, part of what’s preventing Western countries is that governments and pharmaceutical companies have refused to release low-level participant data. “Could it be that researchers in the West are working under limitations?”

In the South Korean study, researchers analyzed data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service from more than half a million residents of Seoul, South Korea, age 65 and older.

Vaccines Caused 17 Million Deaths During Pandemic Plus 4 More Takeaways From Largest Excess Mortality Study to Date

A major investigation by Canadian researchers into excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic found that patterns of excess death globally could not be explained by a pandemic respiratory virus, The Defender reported last week.

Instead, the authors concluded the major causes of death globally stemmed from the public health establishment’s response, including lockdowns, harmful medical interventions and the COVID-19 vaccines.

The study by researchers from the nonprofit Correlation Research in the Public Interest analyzed excess mortality in 125 countries — about 35% of the global population — during the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning with the March 11, 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic declaration and ending on May 5, 2023, when the WHO declared the pandemic over.

The investigation concluded that “nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon.”

New Emails Reveal Big Tech-Biden Admin Collusion on COVID-19 Narratives, Involving CDC and Twitter Censorship

Trying to refute collusive practices involving major social media companies is probably not high on the agenda of the US government right this moment; nevertheless, the evidence of the highly controversial practice keeps rolling in.

America First Legal (AFL), a conservative non-profit, has disclosed a new batch of documents obtained through litigation, this time against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It concerns May 2021 communications meant to set the tone online and “manage” the government agenda around topics related to Covid vaccines.

The emails were exchanged between Facebook and CDC – and the documents focus on the activities of CDC spokesperson Carol Crawford, who also “happened” to be involved with Twitter’s Partner Support Portal around the same time.

This Twitter program’s “secret superpower” was that it allowed government-affiliated individuals to participate in flagging content for censorship.

Genelle Adrien (of the Politics and Government Outreach Team over at Facebook) and Crawford “star” in the email chain obtained by AFL, with the latter being asked point blank that the CDC approve Facebook’s “COVID-19 Information Center FAQ.”

Covid Shots Can Enlarge & Weaken the Heart — Case Study

While the association between Covid vaccination and myocarditis is well established, a recent case study documented how inflammatory dilated cardiomyopathy (another heart inflammation disorder) was induced by the Pfizer (BNT162b2) injection.

“A 78-year-old previously healthy female was referred by her family physician and admitted to our hospital for management of dyspnoea 11 days after receiving the third mRNA-1273 vaccine dose. The patient underwent a primary two-dose BNT162b2 series. On the fourth day after vaccination, the patient experienced palpitations and dyspnoea, which gradually worsened,” the case study said in the ‘Case Report’ section. “Therefore, the temporal relationship between the preceding COVID-19 immunization and the occurrence of iDCM with no other identifiable cause led to the final diagnosis of COVID-19 VAM.”

Thankfully for the patient, her condition improved with oral prednisolone treatment, which was documented via chest X-ray (CXR) and electrocardiography (ECG). One may note the reduction in size of the inflamed heart post-treatment.

Former Pfizer VP: Why Evidence Is Lacking for the Existence of Covid-19 ‘Virus’ or Any Other

Dr. Michael Yeadon, who formerly served as Pfizer’s vice president and chief scientist for allergy and respiratory, joined a host of other scientists in arguing there is no sufficient evidence that either the COVID-19 virus or any other virus actually exists. And thus, there was no pandemic but rather the killing of many with “a monstrous, long planned attack on helpless civilians by coordinated, lethal, central planning.”

“Face it. The evidence is that our governments hate us and want us dead,” the retired executive wrote in an extended statement to LifeSiteNews.

Yeadon, who spent over 30 years working for the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, rose to the most senior research position in his field at Pfizer before resigning in 2011 to start his own biotech company, Ziarco, which he later sold to Novartis in 2017.

The British scientist is well-known for his acute criticism of the COVID-19 “supranational operation,” particularly the so-called vaccines that he charged are intended to “maim and kill deliberately.”

In a 2022 interview, Yeadon shared that as a result of conversations with fellow scientists who came to the conviction that virology itself was based on the unestablished premise that “viruses” actually exist, he was bothered by their reasoning. And after significant personal research he eventually “realized over time” he could “no longer maintain” his “understanding of respiratory viruses,” and after obtaining further information, this “collapsed the possibility that respiratory viruses, as described, exist at all. They don’t,” he concluded.

For at least a few decades, some medical scientists have pointed out that “no particle has ever been sequenced, characterized, studied with valid controlled experiments and shown to fit the definition of a virus,” and thus, virology “has consistently failed to fulfill its own requirements to prove” viruses even exist.

Furthermore, Canadian researcher Christine Massey has made freedom of information (FOI) requests to hundreds of scientific institutions in 40 different countries “asking for any records of anyone in the world ever finding this alleged (SARS-CoV-2) virus in the bodily fluid or tissue or excrement of any people anywhere on earth by anyone ever.”

Biden, 81, has not been seen for five days since COVID diagnosis after extraordinary decision to drop out amid Trump’s claims he’s ‘not sick’

Speculation is swirling online that there is something nefarious going on in the White House and Republicans are now demanding ‘proof of life’ from President Joe Biden after he dropped his reelection bid.

Biden was last seen Wednesday when he arrived in Delaware after being pulled from the campaign trail when he received in the middle of his swing through Nevada a positive coronavirus diagnosis.

The 81-year-old President announced the end of his campaign in a one-page letter posted to X on Sunday.

‘I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision,’ Biden wrote in the letter.

Vice President Kamala Harris arrived at the White House on Monday – but still there are no pictures of sightings of Biden.

Donald Trump said Biden’s sickness was a ruse by Democrats to get him off the campaign trail and out of the race. The former president wrote on his Truth Social account: ‘Biden never had Covid. He is a threat to Democracy!’

Despite Biden’s line vowing to address the nation, Republicans are still skeptical of his health status and are demanding he emerge by the end of the day on Monday to confirm in-person his decision to drop out.

‘I demand proof of life from Joe Biden today by 5:00pm,’ Rep. Lauren Boebert posted to X on Monday.

‘He needs to get in front of some camera and discuss if he’s aware that he dropped out,’ the Colorado Republican wrote. ‘Hiding is completely unacceptable.’

Republican National Committeewoman from California Harmeet Dhillon posted to X: ‘Would anyone else here like to know the whereabouts and current health status of President Biden?’

Largest Study of Its Kind Finds Excess Deaths During Pandemic Caused by Public Health Response, Not Virus

A study released today of excess mortality in 125 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic found the major causes of death globally stemmed from public health establishment’s response, including mandates and lockdowns that caused severe stress, harmful medical interventions and the COVID-19 vaccines.

“We conclude that nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon,” the authors of the study wrote.

Researchers from the Canadian nonprofit Correlation Research in the Public Interest and the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières analyzed excess all-cause mortality data prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning with the March 11, 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic declaration and ending on May 5, 2023, when the WHO declared the pandemic over.

The results, presented in a detailed 521-page analysis, establish baseline all-cause mortality rates across 125 countries and use those to determine the variations in excess deaths during the pandemic.

The researchers also used the baseline rates to investigate how the individual country variations in excess death rates correlated to different pandemic-related interventions, including vaccination and booster campaigns.

Not all of the results on a country-by-country basis were the same. For example, in some countries, mortality spikes occurred before the vaccines were rolled out, while in other places, the mortality spikes tracked closely with vaccine or booster campaigns.

In some places, excess mortality rates returned to baseline or close to baseline in 2022, while in others, the rates persisted well into 2023. Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., lead author of the study, told The Defender the disparities result from the complex nature of pandemic measures — and the data — in different areas.

Once Rancourt’s team was able to establish the baseline and excess mortality data for each place, they clustered and examined the data through different filters to interpret it, and drew several conclusions.

The Pandemic Response Was The Turning Point

The Republican convention made for great television, both entertaining and exciting, and infused with incredible energy after Trump’s miraculous survival of the assassination attempt. In the backdrop has been the astounding upheaval among Democrats: the drive to push Biden aside and get the top of the ticket replaced sooner rather than later, for fear of electoral loss in November.

All of this makes for wonderful drama, perfect for maximum views, public engagement, and the great American sport of politics.

It’s probably too much to ask for blunt truth in such contexts but there was and is one subject missing from the entire situation, and it provides the context for the rest. Whether it is the meltdown of trust, the inflation eating away purchasing power, the hard hit to household finances, the ill-health, the battle between the new media and old, and practically every other symptom you can name; they all trace to the same turning point.

U.S. Government ‘Saddled’ With COVID Vaccine Injury ‘Mess’ — While Vaccine Makers Avoid Liability

As early as January 2022, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers were aware of at least 850 peer-reviewed case reports and/or research articles about COVID-19 vaccine reactions, according to emails obtained by Children’s Health Defense (CHD).

In one email (name and agency redacted), NIH researchers were told the federal government was “saddled” with the “mess” of dealing with those injured by the COVID-19 vaccines, due to the liability shield enjoyed by vaccine manufacturers.

The emails, part of a 309-page batch of documents released to CHD on June 21, originated from a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) request to NIH researchers for input on a report highlighting several injuries common among people who received the vaccines.

CHD requested the documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the NIH in November 2022. When the NIH hadn’t responded by April 2023, CHD sued the agency.

In an October 2023 settlement, the NIH agreed to produce up to 7,500 pages of documents at a rate of 300 pages per month.

The batch of documents released in June — which include emails to Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research — revealed that by fall 2021, key NIH researchers were aware of scientific studies on serious adverse events, including persistent neurological symptoms, following COVID-19 vaccines.

As with prior releases of the NIH documents, June’s tranche also included several emails from vaccine-injured individuals to NIH researchers, seeking help for their symptoms — with one person asking, “Why aren’t you studying vaccine injuries?”

Update on Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Vaccination

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) is a complex immunological phenomenon where virus-specific antibodies, rather than neutralizing the virus, enhance its entry into host cells and amplify its replication. ADE can occur in the context of natural infections and vaccinations, leading to heightened disease severity. This phenomenon has been observed in various viral infections, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), dengue, and HIV, and has been a subject of intense scrutiny in the context of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.

The historical context of ADE provides critical insights into its mechanisms and implications. One notable example is the RSV vaccine trials in the 1960s. Vaccinated children who later encountered natural RSV infection experienced more severe respiratory illness compared to unvaccinated children. This was attributed to ADE, where vaccine-induced antibodies facilitated enhanced viral entry and immune activation (Kim et al., 1969). Understanding the diverse mechanisms of ADE, its implications for vaccine development, and its potential occurrence in SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial. This comprehensive analysis aims to elucidate the different types of ADE, evidence of ADE in SARS-CoV-2, and the risks and proposed mitigation strategies associated with ADE in COVID-19 vaccines.
