Heart inflammation cases in young men higher than expected after mRNA vaccines -U.S. CDC

Preliminary findings from two vaccine safety monitoring systems suggest a higher-than-expected number of cases of heart inflammation after the second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in young men, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday.

More than half of the myocarditis or pericarditis cases reported to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System after patients had received either the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines were in people between the ages of 12 and 24, the CDC said. Those age groups accounted for less that 9% of the doses administered.

“We clearly have an imbalance there,” Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, said in a presentation here to an advisory committee to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that is meeting on Thursday.

He said that the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) – another safety monitoring system – showed an increased incidence of the heart inflammation in 16 to 39 year olds after their second dose of the shots when compared to the rate observed after their first dose.

Creator of CDC coronavirus vaccine app dies after jab, company blames “covid”

Joel Robert Kallman, an Oracle employee who created a breakthrough app for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to track Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccination progress, has died, ironically, from getting his second jab.

According to reports, Kallman, of Delaware, Ohio, died on May 25, just days after receiving his second dose of mRNA vaccine for the Chinese Virus. Kallman received his first dose of the shot several months prior.

“I got my first vaccination today,” Kallman tweeted back on March 26. “I am incredibly proud of @Oracle and the team that worked tirelessly to create and run v-safe for the USA.”

After waiting the allotted amount of time after his first dose, Kallman went in for his second, only to die not long afterward. The mainstream media, of course, is attempting to shroud the link between Kallman’s second dose and his subsequent death.

Two Tier Society: Full Capacity Foo Fighters, Springsteen, Strokes Gigs Announced For FULLY VACCINATED ONLY

As America begins to open back up, fears of a two tier society are becoming a reality with the announcement that popular bands and artists will perform live shows, but only for fully vaccinated audiences.

Three gigs in particular made headlines as it was confirmed that Bruce Springsteen will revive his Broadway musical starting June 26th, New York band The Strokes will play at Irving Plaza on June 12, and The Foo Fighters will perform to a capacity audience at Madison Square Garden on June 20.

The one thing all three events have in common is that anyone wishing to attend will have to prove that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Divorce court judge orders Texas father of four to be vaccinated before seeing his children

A Texas man has been ordered by the judge presiding over his divorce to receive a vaccine against COVID-19 in order to see his four children, FOX26 Houston reported.

District Judge Travis Kitchens handed down the vaccine order as part of the requirements in the divorce proceedings for Chris Staley to qualify for visitation with his children, according to court records seen by FOX26.

In fact, a May 10 court summary detailed the judge’s requirement that “[b]oth parents are to get vaccinated for COVID by end of this week.”

Staley, who lives roughly two hours from his wife and four children, stated that he “didn’t agree” with the judge’s vaccine order on the grounds that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed an April 5 executive order “prohibiting state agencies or political subdivisions in Texas from creating a ‘vaccine passport’ requirement, or otherwise conditioning receipt of services on an individual’s COVID-19 vaccination status.”

Staley explained his understanding that his “civil rights were kind of violated there, whenever a judge is ordering me to take a vaccination,” emphasizing that, as things stand, the available vaccines for COVID are “not FDA approved.”

Staley’s concern arises from the terms under which all of the currently available vaccines against COVD-19 are marketed in the U.S. As things stand, the mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna, as well as the attenuated viral vaccine from Johnson & Johnson, are all approved for use under the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) “emergency use authorization” (EUA) protocol.

Nurse: Houston Hospital Instructs Employees NOT To List Vaccine Adverse Reactions

Houston Methodist Hospital is forbidding its workers from listing any adverse reactions to the Coronavirus vaccine on official records, according to a Houston Methodist nurse. Nurse Jennifer Bridges appeared on The Highwire with Del Bigree to drop the shocking revelation.

“But every time a nurse or another employee comes out with an adverse reaction, they basically tell them in the ER, they’re like, ‘No, it’s not an adverse reaction. This is just an intolerance.’ And they don’t report it properly and they don’t address it properly,” Jennifer Bridges told Del Bigtree. (WATCH A CLIP OF HER INTERVIEW HERE).

“And I’ve actually been in contact with somebody in the hospital system that deals with, like, the charting and the finalization of people’s charts…They have told me that officially Methodist has told them, ‘Do not list any adverse reactions on anybody’s chart related to the vaccine.’ Like, people are being told to not talk about this, not address it, and not label it on charts basically. Like, us ourselves as employees, have to go to the system and document these adverse reactions because Methodist is not doing it,” nurse Jennifer Bridges told Bigtree.

117 Houston Methodist employees are reportedly suing the hospital to fight the institution’s vaccine mandate.
