The Other Side of The Story

 Am I, therefore, become your enemy because I tell you the truth? Gal. 4:16


Several have asked me if I would speak about the vaccine. So, I have done some research and will give you the side not presented by the MSM, government officials, Big Pharma, or a large portion of the medical field. This is my take on the vaccine and is not based on church doctrine but on research.


One individual told me that since I am not a medical doctor, I should keep my opinion quiet. I am not a medical doctor; that is true; however, I have taken the advice of many medical doctors, research scientists, and even Big Pharma executives in making my decision.

 

There is a push among evangelical ministers to support the COVID vaccine. Some feel it is essential that you accept the gift that God has given us.


One pastor stated, "When scientists unravel the DNA of a dangerous virus, when doctors work tirelessly to find more effective treatments when researchers formulate a shot that protects people against infection, we do not raise a self-righteous fist in the face of science; claiming, "Faith over fear!" Rather, we rejoice. We rejoice at the life-giving manifestation of divinely ordained vocation. We proclaim thanks be to God, both for God's provision and the holy gift of human capacity."


Another pastor stated, "Abortion, film, music, guns, cartoons, medical science—pastors, as cultural exegetes, must discuss these topics because such things are not benign. These cultural artifacts mediate messages that are often contrary to the Christian life and worldview, so engaging their congregants about the COVID-19 vaccine is no exception. I believe pastors must engage in vaccine discourse biblically, wisely, and Christianly.


Paul has admonished us to study to show ourselves approved. Study means to do the research. I am not sure I can help with thinking for you. I need to teach you to think critically. I do not tell you to follow me blindly. You are to work out your salvation with fear a trembling—the same with decisions you make in life.


I have been asked if I plan to take the vaccine, my answer is no. That is my decision; you must do the hard work and make your own decision. I must equip you with the correct information and tools so that you can decide your own judgment. I am not required to think for you. 


One of the life-long lessons I have learned is the simple phrase, Follow the money. Those who are benefiting financially are those who support taking the vaccine. It is a billion-dollar industry. Give that some thought.


As Christians, we need to have space for the difference of opinions—unity in essentials, liberty in nonessentials. 


Galatians 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.  


I may decide that your choice does not agree with mine, but that does not change my relationship with you if we can agree that it is nonessential to salvation.


1 Corinthians 8:9 But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.


Just because I choose to live my life in faith that the LORD will protect me from the pestilence of this life and you do not does not mean I should look down on you as not being spiritual.


Romans 14:5 One person regards one day above another, and another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.


Romans 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.


 We are required to accept the decisions of those who are weak in their faith and not pass judgment on their choices.


On a philosophical level, our belief about vaccines is nonessential—we won't lose our salvation. You might lose your life but not your salvation. As fellow Christians, we shouldn't split with other Christians over it. So, no matter your choice, I will accept your decision. I hope you will accept mine.


Today, I will be giving you a side of the issue that is not in the mainstream media. This information comes from various sources and has been vetted to be accurate.


I believe I can say the pandemic has resulted in the largest-ever massive global effort to convince, and in some cases coerce and bully people into not only being vaccinated, but to accept without question unlicensed, experimental vaccines rushed to market and approved for emergency use only. At least, this is true during my lifetime.


Instead of focusing on prevention and effective therapeutics, mainstream media, aided by slick PR campaigns, continues to report that all COVID vaccines are safe and effective, and that they are the only way to end the pandemic. After all, we are all in this together.


In searching for the long-term issues with the Covid vaccine, I could not find an answer to the long-term effects. Those who support the vaccine use other vaccines' safety to support the safety of the Covid vaccine. However, they do not tell you that other vaccines have years of recorded studies, and many are not safe.  


Am I, therefore, become your enemy because I tell you the truth? Gal. 4:16 


In contrast, the Covid vaccine is still being studied, and even the manufacturer will not accept liability for their product. While other vaccines have been tested and approved by the FDA, the Covid vaccine has not received the FDA's final approval. 


This is taken from the Pfizer Fact Sheet. https://www.fda.gov/media/144414/download


The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is a vaccine and may prevent you from getting COVID-19. There is no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19.


The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine may not protect everyone. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent COVID-19. There is no FDA-approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19.


WHO SHOULD NOT GET THE PFIZER-BIOTECH COVID-19 VACCINE?

You should not get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine if you:

• had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of this vaccine

• had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient of this vaccine.


WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS?

If you experience a severe allergic reaction, call 9-1-1, or go to the nearest hospital. Call the vaccination provider or your healthcare provider if you have any side effects that bother you or do not go away.


Report vaccine side effects to FDA/CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The VAERS toll-free number is 1-800-822-7967. Please include "Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine EUA" in the first line of box #18 of the report form.


In addition, you can report side effects to Pfizer Inc. at the contact information provided below

You may also be given an option to enroll in v-safe. V-safe is a new voluntary smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to check in with people who have been vaccinated to identify potential side effects after the COVID-19 vaccination. V-safe asks questions that help CDC monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. V-safe also provides second-dose reminders if needed and live telephone follow-up by CDC if participants report a significant health impact following COVID-19 vaccination. For more information on how to sign up, visit: www.cdc.gov/vsafe.


WHAT IF I DECIDE NOT TO GET THE PFIZER-BIOTECH COVID-19 VACCINE?

It is your choice to receive or not receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Should you decide not to receive it, it will not change your standard medical care.


HAS THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE BEEN USED BEFORE? https://www.fda.gov/media/144638/download

The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine. In clinical trials, approximately 15,400 individuals 18 years of age and older have received at least one dose of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.


WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE?

Side effects that have been reported with the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine include:

• Injection site reactions: pain, tenderness, and swelling of the lymph nodes in the same arm of the injection, swelling (hardness), and redness

• General side effects: fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, chills, nausea and vomiting, and fever.


There is a remote chance that the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after getting a dose of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. For this reason, your vaccination provider may ask you to stay at the place where you received your vaccine for monitoring after vaccination. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include:

• Difficulty breathing

• Swelling of your face and throat

• A fast heartbeat

• A bad rash all over your body

• Dizziness and weakness

These may not be all the possible side effects of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is still being studied in clinical trials.


WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS?

If you experience a severe allergic reaction, call 9-1-1, or go to the nearest hospital.


Call the vaccination provider or your healthcare provider if you have any side effects that bother you or do not go away.


Report vaccine side effects to FDA/CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The VAERS toll-free number is 1-800-822-7967 or report online to https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html. Please include "Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine EUA" in the first line of box #18 of the report form. 


The question now, how many of those experiencing side effects are reporting them? Very few!


A recent report in The New York Times looked at the issues that have followed the vaccine rollout, including the lack of follow-up in documenting side effects after COVID-19 vaccines. Very few are reporting side effects. It is less than one percent.


For now, federal regulators are counting on a patchwork of existing programs that they acknowledge are inadequate because of small sample size, missing critical data, or other problems.


I have asked those who have taken the jab if they reported any side-effects. Not one person has said they reported their side-effects.


Very few reports on possible side effects and where to report them are taking place all across the nation. Guiding people to the right resources post-vaccine has not been a priority. Coronavirus website lists a few potential side effects but does not provide links or a guide for vaccine recipients on where or how to report if they experience side effects.


With so many people getting the same vaccines all at once, most people are hearing post-vaccine experiences varying from mild to terrifying. For a growing number across the country, the COVID-19 vaccine taken to save a life put them dangerously close to losing their own.


While the COVID-19 vaccines are said to save lives, the three COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the U.S. were brought to market in record time and are now only approved for emergency use. Reports of adverse events will be paramount in improving vaccines in the weeks, months, and possibly years to come. Right now, no one knows the long-term side effects. If you do not report your side-effects, you are putting someone's life in danger.


VAERS


The CDC's "Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System" was created in 1990 as an early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines, and yet 30 years later, most people have no idea it exists.


The adverse event reports made to VAERS are extremely low compared to how many anecdotal reports of people getting sick after receiving the vaccine.


The personal experiences an individual might see online about vaccine side effects are likely only coming from their close circle of friends and family. Currently, Facebook has blocked searches for vaccine side effects. The only way to see the first-hand accounts is if the post comes from a friend. Otherwise, an investigation will result in a list of approved information from the World Health Organization or the CDC.


Even with filters in place, there are plenty of accounts from friends and family members reporting everything from flu-like symptoms to heart attacks, miscarriages, and even death after receiving the vaccine.


 Dr. Tamara Sheffield, a vaccine specialist with Intermountain Healthcare, said there are more allergic reactions than expected from the trials. "In terms of what is higher than we would see in other vaccines, anaphylaxis is moderately higher," Sheffield said. Sheffield has been keeping close tabs on the vaccine rollout and says, "it is very rare to have a severe allergy or anaphylaxis." She says we see one anaphylactic reaction per 1.5 million who receive a vaccine for vaccines in general. The number of reactions, she says, has been higher with the new COVID vaccines. "With Pfizer, we are getting five per million doses who have an anaphylactic reaction and for the Moderna, 2.8 reactions per million doses," Sheffield said. Because there were severe reactions in the first few weeks of the rollout, vaccination centers prepared for the possibility of more reactions. The nice thing is we are careful to give these vaccines in medical settings where we can administer medications for anaphylaxis," said Sheffield. Now, recipients have to wait 15 minutes before they are cleared to leave at most vaccine locations. 


It's up to the person who feels those things to decide if they are worth reporting. People either don't know they should be reporting or, when they do, don't know where to go. There is no one clearinghouse where everyone getting a shot is being directed to report side effects.


CDC says 2 million people have signed on to use the newly rolled-out v-safe smartphone tool where you get daily prompts to answer questions about how you feel. However, two million is a minuscule number compared to the nearly 25 million people fully vaccinated and a total of 76 million doses administered in the United States as of March 1. The vast majority of those vaccinated have chosen not to use the CDC's new v-safe reporting system.


"V-safe is a smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Through v-safe, you can quickly tell CDC if you have any side effects after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Depending on your answers, someone from CDC may call to check on you and get more information. V-safe will also remind you to get your second COVID-19 vaccine dose if you need one." - CDC.


ADVERSE EVENTS AND DEATHS


As of March 3, the CDC has received reports of 97,458 adverse events with 1,381 deaths in people who have taken at least one dose of the approved COVID-19 vaccines. (Those statistics are constantly changing; the number of death is now over 2000.) 


It is important to note that you cannot sue for damages if a COVID-19 vaccine injures you. In February, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act. The law, created in 2005, provides legal protection to U.S. companies making or distributing medical supplies like vaccines unless there is "willful misconduct" by a drug maker.


This week's VAERS data show:

Of the 1,739 deaths reported as of March 11, 30% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, 21% occurred within 24 hours, and 46% occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of being vaccinated. By comparison, during the same period, there were only 85 deaths reported following flu vaccines.


Nineteen percent of deaths were related to cardiac disorders. Just a thought, if you have heart problems, you might not want to get the vaccine.


Fifty-three percent of those who died were male, 44% were female, and the remaining death reports did not include the gender of the deceased.


The average age of those who died was 77.9, and the youngest death was an 18-year-old.


As of March 11, 289 pregnant women had reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 90 reports of miscarriage or premature birth. None of the COVID vaccines approved for Emergency Use Authorization has been confirmed safe or effective for pregnant women. However, J&J said earlier this month it would begin testing pregnant women, infants, and the immunocompromised.


There were 1,689 reports of anaphylaxis, with 59% of cases attributed to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and 41% to Moderna.


The average age of death reported remains 77.9; however, the youngest reported death this week dropped from 23 to 18. According to VAERS, the teenager developed fatigue, body aches, and a headache one day after receiving the Moderna vaccine on March 3. On March 5, he complained of chest pain and died in his sleep later that day.


The latest data also includes the report of a 22-year-old woman with a "significant, lifelong underlying medical condition" who died 24 days after the vaccine.


According to the CDC's website, "the CDC follows up on any report of death to request additional information and learn more about what occurred and to determine whether the death was a result of the vaccine or unrelated."


To date, the only information the CDC has published related to the investigation of COVID vaccine-related deaths and how those investigations were conducted is a COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Update via the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) published on January 27.


The safety update analyzed only the 198 reported deaths within the first month after the first COVID vaccine was administered in the U.S. It is unknown whether the CDC has investigated any of the 1,541 reported deaths since or if investigations were conducted, what the results showed.


On March 16, more than 20 countries suspended the use of AstraZeneca's COVID vaccine after reports of blood clots, some resulting in death, in healthy people who received the vaccine. The World Health Organization (WHO) said an ongoing analysis by its vaccines advisory committee had not established a causal link between the vaccine and blood clots and that countries should keep using it.


On March 18, the European Medicine Agency (EMA) released its investigation into the AstraZeneca vaccine. The EMA said Thursday the vaccine "might be associated with sporadic cases of blood clots," but the agency still considers it to be "safe and effective," and countries should continue to use it.


The EMA determined AstraZeneca's vaccine was not associated with an "overall risk" of blood clots in those vaccinated. There was no evidence of a problem related to specific batches of the vaccine or manufacturing sites.


According to Reuters, about a dozen countries resumed the use of AstraZeneca's COVID vaccine today, including Germany, Indonesia, and France, as EU and British regulators said the benefits outweighed any risks of potential blood clots. AstraZeneca's vaccine is not yet approved for emergency use in the U.S.


On March 18, Pfizer's chief financial officer told analysts and investors during a recent earnings call that the company plans to turn its COVID vaccine with German company BioNTech into an even bigger cash cow once the pandemic ends.


Pfizer's vaccine is already the second-highest revenue-generating drug in the world. The vaccine maker expects $15 billion in 2021 based on current contracts for its COVID vaccine. Still, that number could double as Pfizer says it can potentially deliver 2 billion doses this year.

Leaked documents obtained from a cyberattack on the EMA revealed regulators had significant concerns over unexpectedly low quantities of intact mRNA in batches of Pfizer's COVID vaccine developed for commercial production.


A leaked email identified "a significant difference in % RNA integrity/truncated species" between the clinical batches and proposed commercial batches — from around 78% to 55%. According to the email, Pfizer was not manufacturing vaccines to the specifications expected, and the impact of this loss of RNA integrity on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine was not identified. The EMA responded by filing two "major objections" with Pfizer, along with a host of other questions it wanted to be addressed. It's unclear if the agency's concerns were satisfied.


If you were to take the percentage of deaths from the vaccine of those reported and apply it to the total number of those who have taken the vaccine, the total number of deaths would be staggering.


Taking the vaccine is a lifetime choice. Once you have added the nanotechnology to your body, it is there until you die. So, your decision should be based on your research and what you trust when you make your decision.


I will close with this information.


In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The law put in motion two important legal precedents. First, it established a government vaccine court to handle specific vaccine injury claims that met certain criteria. This allowed the vaccine industry to continue developing new and existing vaccines without being sued into bankruptcy. This also protected the vaccine industry from being held criminally liable for manslaughter and causing permanent disability to people. This immunity clause put vaccine companies above the law, allowing the industry to injure people with ineffective products without consequence. Since 1986, this vaccine court has paid out over $4 billion to select families of vaccine injury, with millions of dollars in settlements added each month. There is currently insufficient money set aside to compensate all vaccine injury victims, and multiple thousands of claims go ignored every year. 


The government has been lying about vaccine safety for over three decades.


The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act requires the vaccine companies to report to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Congress every two years, documenting vaccine safety studies and quality control improvements to their products. However, when Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Del Bigtree requested that the HHS provide these thirty-two years' worth of vaccine safety studies, no response was given from the federal government. This prompted Kennedy and Bigtree to file a court order requesting the documents. The HHS responded, "The department's search for records did not locate any records responsive to your request." This means that HHS has broken the law since 1986 and refuses to hold vaccine companies accountable today. There have been no vaccine safety studies conducted in 32 years! The NIH, the FDA, the mainstream media, and the CDC have been lying to the American people for over three decades about vaccine safety, for which there is no documentation. Any government official who uses their position of authority to coerce or intimidate parents into vaccinating their children must now be held accountable. Any vaccine "mandate" or condition of entry is an act of coercion, with no regard to human rights and with no basis in science. Informed consent is essential to any medical interventions, especially vaccinations, which have not been tested for safety and continue to cause health issues in children and adults.
