Are Vaccine Passports Just Around the Corner? U.S., Canada, Mexico Launch Pandemic Preparedness Initiative

The U.S., Canada and Mexico launched a joint pandemic preparedness initiative they said will unite the countries’ public health agencies around a “One Health” approach to addressing future pandemics.

A critic of the new initiative warned the plan may empower the World Health Organization (WHO) — the architect of the original One Health Initiative — to impose global control measures like vaccine passports and new policies targeting the “infodemic.”

“Because this is an initiative from the WHO, I am deeply concerned,” said Nicholas Hulscher, an epidemiologist and fellow at the McCullough Foundation. “They appear to be seeking domain over plants, animals, and humans — globalized, central control over public health policies in all participating countries.”

The WHO defines One Health as “an integrated, unifying approach to balance and optimize the health of people, animals and the environment.”

Public Health Canada says One Health “considers the relationships between the health of humans, animals, and the environment” — suggesting future pandemics or public health threats may cross from animals to humans.

Hulscher suggested bird flu could become the source of the next pandemic — and the basis for imposing global control. He said:

“The biopharmaceutical complex wishes for H5N1 bird flu to become a human pandemic, as it will give them another opportunity to implement draconian control measures and mandate mRNA injections.

“Their obsession with zoonotic diseases may be due to their potential for high mortality rates, which increases the probability of high vaccine uptake and adherence to strict countermeasures like lockdowns.”

Guillain-Barré Syndrome Associated With 17 Vaccines, Including COVID and Flu Shots

A new long-term study assessing the association of vaccines with reported cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) found that “most vaccines” were associated with GBS, and that reports of vaccine-associated GBS have been “increasing steadily over time.”

The study, published Oct. 19 in the journal Scientific Reports, part of the Springer Nature family of journals, examined global cases of GBS between 1967 and 2023. The authors found that of the 19 vaccines examined, 17 vaccines — including COVID-19 and influenza vaccines — were potentially associated with GBS.

The findings also showed that reports of vaccine-related GBS surged following the introduction of the swine flu vaccine in 2009 and the COVID-19 vaccine in 2020.

These results prompted the study’s authors to suggest that healthcare professionals “should consider the possibility that vaccines may be a contributing factor in cases of GBS, particularly in older patients, when there is a history of vaccination within the preceding two weeks in a clinical setting.”

GBS is a rare condition that attacks the peripheral nervous system. It can cause sudden numbness and muscle weakness in much of the body. Roughly 1-2 GBS cases per 100,000 people are reported annually.

GBS can be deadly. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “less than 2% of people die from GBS in the acute phase” of the disease, when symptoms are at their peak. But according to the study, the mortality rate for GBS can reach 17% in countries with “limited resources,” according to research published in The Lancet in 2021.

According to the study’s dataset, 117 deaths were reported among the 15,377 cases of vaccine-associated GBS, with 87 deaths (74.6%) occurring in people 65 and over, and two deaths (1.69%) occurring in children 11 or younger.

Jury: Workers Fired For Refusing COVID-19 Vaccine To Get More Than $1 Million Each

Rail transit officials in California’s Bay Area have been ordered to pay more than $7 million to transit workers who were fired because they refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine years ago.

On Oct. 23, a federal jury in the U.S District Court for the Northern District of California sided with six former San Francisco Bay Area Regional Transit (BART) workers who had refused to get the vaccine for religious purposes.

BART was ordered to pay the group more than $7.8 million, with each individual receiving between $1.2 million and $1.5 million, the Pacific Justice Institute, which represented the transit workers in the trial, said in a statement on Oct. 24. The institute, a law firm representing the six former employees since 2022, said the eight-person jury deliberated for two days this week before returning the verdict that awarded the employees the compensation.

About a week ago, the federal jury also determined that BART had failed to prove that it suffered an undue hardship by denying accommodations to the ex-employees in the case.

On Oct. 23, the jury further found that the six employees met the burden of showing that there was a conflict between their religious beliefs and the BART vaccine mandate, which was implemented in 2021.

According to the law firm, the jury also agreed with the figures that the plaintiffs had provided for lost wages that they had suffered after losing their jobs. The jury then added $1 million each to those figures, the firm said, describing the verdict as a “legal earthquake.”

“The rail employees chose to lose their livelihood rather than deny their faith. That in itself shows the sincerity and depth of their convictions,“ Kevin Snider, the Pacific Justice Institute’s chief counsel, who served as lead trial attorney, said. ”After nearly three years of struggle, these essential workers feel they were heard and understood by the jury and are overjoyed and relieved by the verdict.”

The law firm stated: “During the trial, jurors heard compelling testimony from dedicated employees. One of the plaintiffs had worked for more than 30 years for BART, with a stretch of 10 years perfect attendance, before being unceremoniously dismissed. Another had been out on workers comp for months, with no scheduled return date, when she was fired.”

Biden-Harris spent $1 billion to spread COVID vaccine misinformation

A new Congressional report shows the Biden-Harris administration spent almost $1 billion manipulating public opinion on COVID vaccines, at times relying on wrong or speculative information.

A House Energy and Commerce report released Wednesday night details how the National Institutes of Health seeded “erroneous or unproven information” into COVID-era messaging and advertisements.

In other words, when state officials, such as Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer were jubilantly shuttering schools and businesses, the White House was knowingly manipulating the public on vaccines’ promised efficacy against COVID. 

“While the Biden-Harris administration’s public health guidance led to prolonged closures of schools and businesses, the NIH was spending nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer money trying to manipulate Americans with advertisements—sometimes containing erroneous or unproven information,” the report said. 

“By overpromising what the COVID-19 vaccines could do—in direct contradiction of the FDA’s authorizations—and over emphasizing the virus’s risk to children and young adults, the Biden-Harris administration caused Americans to lose trust in the public health system,” Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-WA, said.

Vaccines and the Length of Our Lives

The commercial imperative to extract money from human bodies is playing havoc with medical education, and the body of knowledge through which the medical professions operate. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the field of vaccines, and their place in determining the length of our lives. 

The History of Living Longer

As a medical student, I was taught that the reason we in wealthy countries now live far longer than our forebears was improvements in living conditions, sanitation, and nutrition. We don’t walk through sewage and horse dung each day, eat fly-blown meat, drink water from below the nearest latrines, or sleep eight to a room on rancid bedding. We get beaten less often and have more leisure time. Antibiotics also helped but came after most of these gains had been achieved.

Most vaccination came even later, mopping up some residual mortality in ‘vaccine-preventable diseases.’ This was all stated in a lecture hall of 300 medical students, with the relevant data to back it up, and accepted as fact. Because for wealthier countries it was, and is, undeniably true.

I recently asked a small group of students the major reasons for improved life expectancy, and was told “vaccination.” In a subsequent session, I showed some of the graphs laid out below. The students were shocked and asked where I obtained this information. It was actually fairly difficult to find. I remember searching 20 years ago and readily finding it on the web.

In 2024, it took a lot of sifting through information explaining how vaccinations have apparently saved humanity, and how those repeating what I was taught as a student were a subversive element undermining the greater good, spreading misinformation or similar daft claims. We have certainly not progressed.

This does not mean vaccines are not a great idea. Providing some immunity before an infection can mitigate much of its harm by giving the body a head start in fighting back. It just means their usefulness must be understood in context, as must their harms. Somewhat strangely, discussion of vaccines has become increasingly controversial within the medical establishment. It is as if an Inquisition has been imposed over the profession, seeking out anyone still prioritizing calm rational thought over a dogma dictated from above. However, if truth and calm discussion can form an anchor for policy, vaccination will be more effective. 

The charts shown here, from Australia, the United States, and England, reflect those of other wealthy countries. The same findings are reflected in various published papers. Facts are facts, even if they may with time become harder to find, buried under Big Search algorithms to keep us safe. They remain facts even if medical students are taught to believe alternate realities. Such false teaching, coupled with large financial incentives, drive their desire to ensure children be ‘fully vaccinated’ according to their country’s childhood schedule. They increasingly believe a lie, undeniable misinformation, that this is why most children in our countries now grow up without experiencing the death of a friend or sibling.

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.
