‘Indefensible’: Courts finally scrutinize COVID vaccine mandates as religious infringement

Three years after COVID-19 vaccines became widely available to adults – at which point the CDC already knew they couldn’t stop transmission – courts are finally starting to put their foot down on the most basic legal question: Are mandates at least applied fairly, if not scientifically?

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals not only knocked down the University of Colorado medical school’s original and revised 2021 mandates for discriminating against employees seeking religious exemptions, but knocked the trial judge for “abuse of discretion” by reversing the burden of proof to moot the case.

The Anschutz campus, whose dental school recently created a diversity, equity and inclusion award, made an early pivotal decision on COVID vaccine mandates by scrutinizing the content as well as sincerity of beliefs among employees and students seeking exemptions.

“The Administration’s September 1 Policy is not neutral on its face; the September 24 Policy is not neutral in practice; and both substantially burden” the religious exercise of the anonymous 11 female and six male plaintiffs, according to the majority opinion by Judge Allison Eid, who replaced Neil Gorsuch when President Trump appointed him to the Supreme Court.

“It is manifestly unreasonable to think” the Sept. 24 policy “would reach precisely the same results … by accident,” Eid wrote. “The Administration had spent weeks or months drafting and implementing a policy hostile toward and discriminatory against certain religions, only to adopt a new, purportedly neutral policy that reached precisely the same results.”

University of California San Francisco epidemiologist Vinay Prasad celebrated the ruling for recognizing CU Anschutz administrators “set an indefensible policy,” while the plaintiffs’ lawyers at the Thomas More Society thanked the court for recognizing the university’s “value judgments … reeked of religious bigotry” and violated constitutional rights and “basic decency.”

The ruling is reminiscent of the Supreme Court’s narrow finding against the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for “official expressions of hostility to religion” when it punished Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips for declining to make custom wedding cakes for gay couples based on his Christian view of marriage.

In the private sector, a high-profile vaccine mandate lawsuit by an actor fired from the Fox show “911” is heading to trial over whether Disney-owned 20th Television trampled Rockmond Dunbar’s views as a follower of the Church of Universal Wisdom, which The New York Times profiled in 2003 for its utility in circumventing childhood vaccination mandates.

“It appears that Disney vetted exemption applications on a case-by-case basis, investigating whether the religions constituted true religious institutions and whether applicants actually followed the beliefs,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

How the US Government (FDA, DOD) removed the requirement for informed consent for EUA Countermeasures.

I wanted to add some information to a recent post by Katherine Watt: email answer to Bill Marshall (Judicial Watch). I agree with Katherine that both “approved” Biologics License Approval (BLA) and EUA versions of covid shots are fake and poisonous. This applies to all of the 400+ covid products on the market – all of them are Emergency Use (EUA) only.  The most important thing about EUA status – it is non-investigational by law (Para 564 of FDCA).  Most people do not fully grasp the meaning of this.  While a chemical entity is classed as a non-investigational entity, it can never become a medicinal product in the ethical meaning of medicine, i.e. to treat, deliver some therapeutic benefit while minimizing the risk.  That is completely out of the question for an EUA.  It can never be used in a real clinical trial, because a clinical trial is a legally safeguarded investigation in humans.  Since no clinical trials are possible, no FDA approval (BLA) is possible as BLA by law requires safeguarded clinical trials with informed consent. 

The BLA can only be theoretically achieved if the PHE is terminated, PREP Act declaration is terminated, EUA is revoked, product removed from market, and only after a new set of regulated, safeguarded real clinical trials are performed.  Obviously, this will never happen for mRNA products. Given the well-documented slaughter that they have caused, any institutional review board (IRB) that is insane enough to approve a “trial” of a known lethal poison in humans will have a bullseye painted on it for liability lawsuits. There is no way to ever test this garbage in people under normal ethical bioresearch frameworks. In addition, it is impossible to manufacture these things to cGMP/pharma standards, as making of biologics is a probabilistic and not a deterministic process. All of this was well known to the regulators, DARPA and to manufacturers prior to 2020. That’s why they went into so much effort to change the US law and construct the legal kill box which thoroughly shields them from liability before faking the pandemic, lying on a massive scale and deploying this poison on billions of people.

DNA Contamination in Pfizer COVID Shot 500 Times Permissible Level: New Study

Genetic impurities in the Pfizer mRNA COVID vaccine could be as high as 500 times the permissible limit, according to a new study.

In the study, published in Methods and Protocols, two German researchers raise worrying questions about the reliability of the quantitative PCR technique used by Pfizer-BioNTech to measure DNA contamination in the vaccine.

Using their own tests on the vaccine’s lipid nanoparticles, they discovered levels that were between 360 and 534 times higher than the 10 nanogram per dose limit set by regulators.

The researchers argued that the methods used by Pfizer-BioNTech test for only 1% of the original DNA template used to make the vaccine, meaning that 99% of the genetical material from the template therefore goes untested and potentially undetected.

Similar concerns have been raised by other researchers.

Ex-CDC Director Says It’s High Time To Admit ‘Significant Side Effects’ Of COVID-19 Vaccines

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Thursday that many officials who tried to warn the public about potential problems with COVID-19 vaccines were pressured into silence and that it’s high time to admit that there were “significant” side effects that made people sick.

Dr. Redfield made the remarks in a May 16 interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation, during which he lamented the loss of public confidence in public health agencies because of a lack of transparency around the vaccines, which he said “saved a lot of lives” but also made some people “quite ill.”

Those of us that tried to suggest there may be significant side effects from vaccines … we kind of got canceled because no one wanted to talk about the potential that there was a problem from the vaccines, because they were afraid that that would cause people not to want to get vaccinated,” Dr. Redfield said.

In his role as head of the CDC, Dr. Redfield was part of the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed, a project to surge COVID-19 vaccine development at a time during the pandemic when little was known about the virus and rapid vaccine rollout was widely seen as key to getting the outbreak under control and lockdowns lifted.

In September 2020, a few months before the first COVID-19 vaccines were given in the United States, Dr. Redfield testified before the Senate that COVID-19 represented the “most significant public health challenge to face our nation in more than a century,” and that the prevailing view among scientists at the time was that the overall case fatality rate of the disease was somewhere between 0.4 and 0.6 percent in the United States.

If you were to look right now, individuals under the age of 18, it’s about 0.01 percent, 19 to say 69, it’s more like 0.3 percent. And if you’re over the age of 70, it’s about 5 percent now,” he testified at the time.

Further Ethical Concerns on a Recent Self-Amplifying RNA Vaccine Study

I called for the ongoing study to be ceased given the mass safety signal pointed out by The McCullough Foundation.

Today, I outline further ethical flaws:

  1. Informed Consent:
  • Participants must be fully informed about the novel nature of srRNA technology, including potential unknown long-term effects. Ensuring that informed consent is genuinely informed is critical.
  • Detailed information about the potential risks and benefits, including those observed in preclinical and early-phase clinical trials, should be provided.
  • Since the long-term risks are unknown, this seems impossible.
  1. Conflict of Interest:
  • The authors are employees of Replicate Bioscience Inc., which raises concerns about bias. The review should disclose how the conflict of interest was managed.
  • Independent oversight or review by third-party experts who do not stand to benefit financially from the vaccine should be conducted.
  1. Safety Monitoring:
  • Continuous monitoring for adverse effects is essential, especially given the novel nature of srRNA vectors.
  • Clear protocols for reporting and managing adverse events, including long-term follow-up, and plans to mitigate the ill-health effects of AEs and SAEs, must be transparent and outlined up-front.
  1. Methodological Issues

Cause of Death Determination:

  • Accurate determination of causes of death in clinical trials is crucial. There should be a standardized protocol for post-mortem analysis to ascertain whether deaths are related to the vaccine or underlying conditions. Doctors working for the company determining that the vaccine was not the cause of death is insufficient: it’s a novel vaccine: how do they know they are not confusing deaths from COVID19 with deaths from vaccines? PCR is known to be fraught with errors in this context. How do they know that the vaccine does not interact with COVID19 infection and increase mortality?
  • Independent medical reviews of cause-of-death determinations can mitigate bias.

Manufacturing Quality:

  • The article mentions impurities from poor manufacturing that lead to systemic inflammatory responses. To minimize such risks, strict quality control measures and validation processes should be in place.
  • Detailed documentation and transparency regarding manufacturing practices are essential to ensure reproducibility and safety.

Pfizer’s Covid Gene Therapy Shots Have Over 500 Times Allowable Levels of DNA Contamination — Study

study published this month has found that the Pfizer mRNA Covid ‘vaccine’ gene therapy injections contain DNA contamination at over 500 times allowable levels, raising fears that the DNA may integrate into the vaccinated person’s own DNA, causing mutations that can lead to diseases such as cancer.

“The available information and data indicate that the ready-to-use mRNA vaccine Comirnaty contains DNA impurities that exceed the permitted limit value by several hundred times and, in some cases, even more than 500 times,” the study said in the ‘Conclusions’ section.

Modified messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines work by encapsulating the RNA sequence of the Covid spike protein (the dangerous part of Covid, linked to HIV) into lipid nanoparticles which are able to deliver the RNA payload into the body’s cells. The RNA is then integrated into the person’s genetics so they will produce the Covid spike protein, which the body can then develop an immune response to.

However, according to the study, mRNA is not the only genetic information being injected into people.

“…in addition to the mRNA active ingredient, DNA impurities are also encased in lipid nanoparticles and are therefore difficult to quantify,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.

Marathon Runner Left Disabled By AstraZeneca Covid Jab Now Suing Company, But UK Taxpayers To Foot Bill

A 50-year-old UK man named Adrian Walker was left disabled after taking the AstraZeneca Covid shot, and now he’s part of a class-action lawsuit against the company.

This comes as the pharmaceutical giant takes its COVID-19 jab off the market worldwide due to health hazards.

However, even if the 51 people pursuing legal action against the company are successful in court, AstraZeneca will be financially off the hook as the UK government gave the company legal immunity during the pandemic.

Because of the government’s deal with AstraZeneca, and other Covid jab manufacturers, UK taxpayers will instead foot the bill.

Woman With Vaccine Injury in Clinical Trial Sues AstraZeneca

An American woman who suffered an injury from AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine sued the company on May 13, alleging the company breached a contract by not paying for the medical care she requires to deal with the injury.

“They left us no choice,” Brianne Dressen, a preschool teacher in Utah, told The Epoch Times in an email.

Ms. Dressen has paid tens of thousands of dollars to drugs to treat the nervous system disorder and other issues she’s experiencing, according to the complaint, filed in federal court in her home state.

Ms. Dressen chose to participate in AstraZeneca’s clinical trial in 2020 because she wanted to help the company develop its COVID-19 vaccine. The consent form she signed stated in part that AstraZeneca would “cover the costs of research injuries” and “pay the costs of medical treatment.”

“With these reassurances should something go wrong, Bri signed the form, rolled up her sleeve, and let the drug company inject the experimental product into her arm. Her mind was at peace, as Bri believed she was doing the right thing for her country, her students, and her family,” the suit states.

Ms. Dressen soon started experiencing problems, including blurred vision, tinnitus, and vomiting. She later became extremely sensitive to light and suffered spikes in her heart rate.

CDC forced to release V-safe data, which includes over 780,000 reports of adverse reactions to Covid-19 shot

Reports of Covid-19 shot-related health problems, which were collected and kept hidden by the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for several years, have now been published and reveal serious immune and brain dysfunction symptoms, include heart inflammation and death. Information on about 780,000 reports of adverse events following Covid shots were gathered and stored in the CDC’s special V-safe monitoring system that enabled Covid shot recipients to report adverse events via a cell phone text message.

V-safe is a smart-phone based surveillance system that allows users to access web-based surveys monitoring Covid shot adverse events and report reaction symptoms via a text message to federal health officials.

In the weeks after getting a Covid shot, V-safe users receive daily text messages asking about their health status. The messages contain a link to V-safe that allows users to answer follow-up questions including a checkbox of 12 symptoms, as well as enter a description of adverse events in a text message of not more than 250 characters.

According to a Jan. 13, 2024 article in The Epoch Times, CDC officials have collected approximately 7.8 million text responses from Covid shot recipients through V-safe. 

Previously, the CDC denied the public access to the V-safe reports and instead reported studies alleging that the data collected showed the shot was safe.

V-safe data released in 2022 from another lawsuit shows that between eight to ten million people, or 25 percent of responders reported reactions to Covid shots that were serious enough to require them to miss school, work or other normal activities or required medical attention or a hospital visit.

Emails Reveal Fauci Ignored Early Reports Of Injuries Caused By COVID-19 Vaccine

Dr. Anthony Fauci knew COVID-19 vaccines were causing serious injuries within days of the vaccines’ rollout in December 2020, according to documents obtained by Children’s Health Defense (CHD). However, he didn’t respond to emails from people who described their injuries and asked for help — and he didn’t warn the public.

The 300-page tranche of documents released on April 21 relates to correspondence between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and people who contacted the agency about adverse events they experienced after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

CHD requested the documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in November 2022. On April 12, 2023, CHD sued the NIH to obtain the records after the NIH failed to respond to the FOIA request.

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

Dr. Joel Wallskog is a Wisconsin orthopedic surgeon who stopped practicing medicine after being injured by Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. He told The Defender the documents prove public health officials, including Fauci, “were well aware of the avalanche of adverse events that were occurring early in 2021.”

“No communication was made about these adverse events to the public,” said Wallskog, now co-chairman of React19, a nonprofit representing vaccine injury victims. “This prevented the public from receiving informed consent.”

Wallskog said that while the emails “are heartbreaking,” Fauci “was too busy to respond to Americans pleading for help.”
