How many US VAERS deaths were due to COVID19?

Summary:

  • Daniel (Truth_in_number) on Twitter posted a long thread on VAERS in mid-2023, seemingly based on this comical premise – unlike him, no one else had looked at VAERS extensively1
    • While Daniel did read 120 reports, he hasn’t yet posted the VAERS IDs for them (to the best of my knowledge), so the people who already agree with him are just taking his word in terms of final analysis
  • I refuted most of his central points anyway using large scale text analysis of VAERS reports (for example there are hundreds of reports of sudden death in VAERS, while Daniel claims he did not find any “true” sudden death reports)
  • The one major point he made2 – that 61% of the deaths he read were caused by COVID19 – was much harder to refute till now because it required large scale text analysis of 16000+ reports which did not follow any well defined text pattern
  • I used a recent feature provided by GPT4 to automate this process3, and found that only 39% of 16K deaths even tested positive for COVID19. In other words, less than 39% of US VAERS deaths could actually be due to COVID19, leaving the other 60%+ as potential vaccine induced deaths.

In a previous article I mentioned that LLMs can be used to extract cause of death from a VAERS report.

Bill Gates to Stand Trial in Netherlands in COVID Vaccine Injury Lawsuit

A Netherlands court last week ruled that Bill Gates can stand trial in the Netherlands, in a case involving seven people injured by COVID-19 vaccines.

According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, the seven “corona skeptics” sued Gates last year, along with former Dutch prime minister and newly appointed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and “several members” of the Dutch government’s COVID-19 “Outbreak Management Team.”

Other defendants include Albert Bourla, Ph.D., CEO of Pfizer, and the Dutch state.

“Because Bill Gates’ foundation was involved in combating the corona pandemic, he has also been summoned,” De Telegraaf reported.

According to Dutch independent news outlet Zebra Inspiratie, the plaintiffs allege that Gates, through his representatives, deliberately misled them about the safety of the COVID-19 shots, despite knowing “that these injections were not safe and effective.”

Dutch independent journalist Erica Krikke told The Defender that the seven plaintiffs — whose names are redacted in the lawsuit’s publicly available documents — “are ordinary Dutch people, and they have been jabbed and after the jabs they got sick.”

Krikke said that of the seven original plaintiffs, one has since died, leaving the other six plaintiffs to continue the lawsuit.

55 Undeclared Chemical Elements — Including Heavy Metals — Found in COVID Vaccines

A group of Argentine scientists identified 55 chemical elements — not listed on package inserts — in the Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, CanSino, Sinopharm and Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccines, according to a study published last week in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research.

The chemical elements include 11 heavy metals — such as chromium, arsenic, nickel, aluminum, cobalt and copper — which scientists consider systemic toxicants known to be carcinogenic and to induce organ damage, even at low exposure levels.

The samples also contained 11 of the 15 lanthanides, or rare earth elements, that are heavier, silvery metals often used in manufacturing. These chemical elements, which include lanthanum, cerium and gadolinium, are lesser known to the general public than heavy metals but have also been shown to be highly toxic.

“The detection of multiple undeclared toxic elements, including heavy metals and lanthanides, in COVID-19 vaccines raises a dual and multiplied concern for human health,” James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., a member of the journal’s editorial board who was not involved in the research, told The Defender. “Individually, these chemicals are known to cause neurological, cardiovascular and immunological damage.”

“Together, their synergistic toxicity could exacerbate these risks far beyond what regulators and manufacturers have disclosed or studied,” Lyons-Weiler added.

Kamala Harris Opposes Informed Consent to Vaccinations

Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate and the current Vice President under the Joe Biden administration, previously served as Attorney General for the state government of California, during which time she served the financial interests of pharmaceutical industry.

For that reason, she makes an appearance in my 2021 book The War on Informed Consent: The Persecution of Dr. Paul Thomas by the Oregon Medical Board.

Here’s the relevant excerpt:

Paul Thomas’s approach of grounding his practice in the principle of informed consent and focusing on health outcomes stands in stark contrast to the approach taken by the state government of violating informed consent to achieve high vaccination rates.

Oregon, of course, is not alone. All the states have taken the approach of mandating vaccinations for school attendance. In the extremity of its coercion, Oregon was outdone by California, which in 2016 passed a law eliminating “non-medical” exemptions.

However, that did not have the intended effect because it incentivized parents to go to pediatricians who are respectful of informed consent to obtain a medical exemption. The problem, as perceived by those myopically focused on achieving high vaccination rates, was that physicians might grant exemptions “for indications outside of accepted contraindications”, such as on the basis of “family medical history”.

The law was considered to “work” not based on whether it achieved a healthier childhood population but whether it increased the childhood vaccination rate. Pediatricians who would write medical exemptions for reasons such as the patient having a family history of autoimmune disease were regarded as “accomplices”—as though by enabling parents to exercise their right to informed consent they were engaging in criminal activity.

The state Senator who spearheaded the elimination of “non-medical” exemptions, Dr. Richard Pan, subsequently introduced a bill he described as being intended strengthen “oversight” of physicians to stop them from writing “fake” medical exemptions, which were those found by the state “to be fraudulent or inconsistent with contraindications to vaccination per CDC guidelines.” (Emphasis added.)

With the passage of that bill into law in September 2019, the state declared for itself the authority to revoke medical exemptions written by licensed physicians, with the clear warning communicated to doctors that if they write exemptions for any reasons other than CDC-defined contraindications, the state was going to come after them for their “unscrupulous” behavior.

Richard Pan expressed his view on the matter very clearly in a commentary in the AAP’s journal Pediatrics. When physicians write medical exemptions to state vaccine mandates, he wrote, it is “not the practice of medicine but of a state authority to licensed physicians” who are “fulfilling an administrative role” on behalf of the state.

Thus, in Pan’s view, the state’s proper role is to insert itself into the doctor-patient relationship by dictating how pediatricians should practice medicine, and informed consent for the parents is not an option.

5-year-old develops autism after receiving 18 vaccines in one day

In 2016, David Ihben moved his wife and three children from Chicago to Jamestown, in rural Tennessee, with high hopes for a new and calmer life.

But the dream turned into a nightmare for David and his children in December 2019, when divorce proceedings and a subsequent custody battle resulted in the forced vaccination of the children — and changed the family’s fortunes forever.

Ihben said his ex-wife decided “this wasn’t the life she wanted.” So they were attempting to develop a parenting plan in family court — when Tennessee judge Todd Burnett “pulled up the vaccine issue” after discovering the couple’s children were unvaccinated — and forced the parents to vaccinate their children.

Ihben’s two oldest children — daughter Hannah and son Joseph — were spared significant adverse events following their vaccination.

But his youngest son, Isaac, wasn’t so fortunate. After receiving 18 vaccines in one day, Isaac developed severe regressive autism. Today, he requires around-the-clock care.

The children’s mother soon abandoned the children, leaving Ihben to raise them as a single parent — even though he is still obliged to pay child support.

Ihben shared his story with Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) Vax-Unvax bus. In a subsequent interview with The Defender, he detailed the challenges he faces in caring for Isaac and the harassment he endured from officials in his community. Ihben shared documentation with The Defender verifying his story.

New paper shows COVID boosters increased mortality in nursing home residents. The effect was highly statistically significant after 4 weeks.

A new paper by Girma and Paton showed by using machine learning a small but dubious (and short lived) benefit for nursing home residents in 2 of 3 metrics. In other words, they couldn’t find a definitive benefit for the primary series and they found NO benefit for additional shots.

In fact, for the boosters, they found a highly statistically significant INCREASE in COVID mortality after the boosters were administered.

We should only be giving these shots if there is a clear and significant benefit, not “we aren’t sure” or “there is no benefit.” But when there is a highly statistically significant harm, alarm bells should go off!

The paper says, “Indeed, in the later period, we find some evidence that higher vaccination rates are associated with higher Covid mortality.” A safe and effective vaccine shouldn’t be even close to causing a conclusion like that.

Additionally, vaccinating the nursing home staff also appeared to have a negative impact on residents. There, the impact on both COVID deaths and all-cause deaths was 100% consistent in all 7 time periods and for each vaccine dose: it always made things worse, and for the primary series where every single one of the 14 measures were highly statistically significant (99% confident).

This is yet another paper showing continuation of COVID vaccination is nonsensical. But the data doesn’t seem to matter and nobody wants to talk about it.

As usual, expect the mainstream media to ignore this paper as they do for any paper that shows that the health interventions were detrimental.

In Email Obtained by ICAN, a Fauci Senior Advisor Admits CDC’s Data “Shockingly Messed Up” and Leaders Have “Serious Issues”

During a recent Congressional hearing, we learned that David Morens prided himself on his ability to avoid transparency and purposefully evade FOIA. The hearing revealed emails in which Morens boasted that he “learned from our [FOIA] lady here how to make most emails disappear” and “we are all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns, and if we did we wouldn’t put them in emails and if we found them we’d delete them.”

But in a recent FOIA production obtained by ICAN’s attorneys, we discovered that Morens failed to delete at least one smoking gun. In an April 2020 email to Greg Folkers, Fauci’s Chief of Staff, Morens made an astonishing admission about CDC’s long-term incompetence in handling data and NIH’s willingness to cover it up:

Greg, please keep this confidential but you should know that for over a decade the flu folks at CDC have shockingly messed up their tabulations of flu mortality. We discovered 5-10 years ago that various web page and published data were totally inconsistent and could only be explained by major uncaught errors[.]

… apparently various folks in [t]he flu division made and put up and published mutually-inconsistent figures based on differing subjective assumptions[.]

Several years ago, maybe 4-5, we reached out to the top flu people at CDC informing them that their own data were problematic, that as a sister agency we did NOT want to draw attention to it but work with them privately to fix and reconcile the problems. At first they were grateful, and set up a mechani[sm] to work with us, but then when they discovered the depths of their own mistakes … they did the usual CDC thing and circled the wagons, refused to return calls and emails, etc. [W]e didn’t pursue things but were left unsettled.

To repeat, this was at the level of cdc’s flu leadership. I think we have to accept that they have serious issues and have not fixed them.

Let’s not forget that throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we were told to “trust the experts,” many of whom worked for CDC. Recommendations and edicts handed down from on high at CDC were treated as gospel. The few brave souls who had the courage to publicly question CDC’s judgment were met with derision, pejoratives, censorship, and attacks on their careers and reputations. This makes it all the more infuriating to learn that, according to Morens, the “usual CDC thing” to do when its mistakes are discovered is to ignore the problem and refuse to discuss it—even when the mistake is discovered by another government agency!

‘Should Not Be Used in Any Infants’: Higher Death Risk in Beyfortus RSV Shot Clinical Trials

Infants treated for RSV with the monoclonal antibody nirsevimab have significantly higher mortality rates than those treated with a different monoclonal antibody or with a placebo, according to an analysis by the Japanese journal Med Check of three major randomized control trials.

The report reanalyzed clinical trial data showing that nirsevimab — marketed by Sanofi and AstraZeneca as Beyfortus — reduced RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection and hospitalizations in both high-risk and healthy infants.

However, babies treated with the drug had a higher mortality rate likely linked to adverse effects — including thrombosis (blood clotting) — from the drug itself, the study found.

“Due to the increased mortality, nirsevimab should not be used in any infants,” the study concluded. “Do not use nirsevimab for universal immunization.”

Shortly after its approval by the European Medicines Association in October 2022, and fast-track approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July 2023, the U.S., France, Spain and Luxembourg launched universal Beyfortus infant immunization campaigns for the 2023-24 RSV season.

Med Check published its appraisal of the clinical trials shortly after France’s National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM) published its first pharmacovigilance data on the drug, compiled during the 2023-24 season.

The ANSM report tracked adverse events related to Beyfortus in France between Sept. 11, 2023, and April 30, 2024. Of 244,495 doses delivered, 198 adverse events were reported to the pharmacovigilance system, of which 153 were considered serious.

The report identified safety signals for stroke, respiratory conditions and hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes — when an infant suddenly loses muscle strength and becomes “floppy.” Hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes also are associated with the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, or Tdap, vaccine and other vaccines.

There were also three reports of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), although researchers said at least one of them was likely not linked to the drug.

The ANSM said each of the signals would be closely monitored in the future, but that a causal link between Beyfortus and those adverse events had not yet been established. The agency concluded the results confirm that the benefits of using the drug to treat bronchiolitis, an RSV infection, outweigh the risks.

The ANSM continues to recommend all newborn babies receive the Beyfortus shot this RSV season.

FDA Brushed Off Concerns About DNA Fragments in Gardasil’s HPV Vaccine

Over the last two years, cancer genomic experts have raised concerns about the presence of residual DNA fragments in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, saying that it has the potential to increase the risk of developing cancer.

This mirrors the concerns raised several years ago about the safety of the Gardasil human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, manufactured by Merck & Co.

In 2011, Sin Hang Lee, a pathologist and 30-year veteran in DNA analysis, made the startling discovery of synthetic DNA fragments in several vials.

“I was shocked to find DNA fragments in the HPV vaccine because DNA is not supposed to be there,” Lee recalls.

“They use DNA to make the vaccine, but then it is supposed to be chopped up and removed in the manufacturing process,” he said.

Lee, an internationally recognized expert in molecular gene detection, carefully documented his findings in a report that was sent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for review.

The FDA investigated.

On Sept. 23, 2011, the FDA’s Center for Biological Evaluation and Research (CEBR) responded by saying it had evaluated the concerns in Lee’s report, and determined that the Gardasil vaccine was “safe and effective.”

The FDA did acknowledge that Lee found residual DNA in the vaccine, but said it was “expected” and “inevitable” in products that are manufactured using recombinant technology.

The agency also said it remained confident that the residual DNA was “not a risk to vaccine recipients.”

“The presence of residual DNA is not a safety factor as defined by US regulations, and is not required to be included in Gardasil’s labeling,” wrote the FDA.

The following month (Oct. 21, 2011) the FDA quietly updated its website to reflect the presence of DNA fragments in the vaccine, assuring the public there was “no safety risk.”

‘Reckless Disregard for the Truth’: Shareholders Sue Moderna for Misleading Investors on RSV Shot Efficacy

A group of shareholders is suing Moderna alleging the company knowingly inflated claims about the efficacy of its RSV vaccine for older adults. When the drugmaker later lowered expectations for the vaccine’s efficacy the stock price dropped precipitously.

A class-action lawsuit accuses Moderna of making “materially false and misleading statements” about the efficacy of its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) shot, leading to significant damages for investors.

The lawsuit, filed Aug. 9 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, covers investors who owned or purchased Moderna stock between Jan. 18, 2023 — the day that Moderna announced that mRNA-1345, its candidate RSV vaccine, met primary efficacy endpoints in Phase 3 clinical trials — and June 25, 2024.

According to the lawsuit, Moderna misled investors by failing to disclose that “mRNA-1345 was less effective than Defendants had led investors to believe” and that “mRNA-1345’s clinical and/or commercial prospects were overstated.”

“As a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit names Moderna and its key executives, including its CEO Stéphane Bancel, Chief Financial Officer James M. Mock and President Stephen Hoge, as defendants.

“Defendants acted with reckless disregard for the truth in that they failed or refused to ascertain and disclose such facts as would reveal the materially false and misleading nature of the statements made, although such facts were readily available to Defendants,” the lawsuit states.

Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), told The Defender he is not surprised by allegations of fraud concerning Moderna.

“It is unfortunate that Moderna lied about the efficacy of the vaccine and misled investors,” Hooker said. But Hooker said the “bigger tragedy here is the lack of safety testing for modified mRNA products such as their RSV shot.”
