Abstract

Recently, The Lancet published a study on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and the waning of immunity with time. The study showed that immune function among vaccinated individuals 8 months after the administration of two doses of COVID-19 vaccine was lower than that among the unvaccinated individuals. According to European Medicines Agency recommendations, frequent COVID-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible. The decrease in immunity can be caused by several factors such as N1-methylpseudouridine, the spike protein, lipid nanoparticles, antibody-dependent enhancement, and the original antigenic stimulus. These clinical alterations may explain the association reported between COVID-19 vaccination and shingles. As a safety measure, further booster vaccinations should be discontinued. In addition, the date of vaccination should be recorded in the medical record of patients. Several practical measures to prevent a decrease in immunity have been reported. These include limiting the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including acetaminophen to maintain deep body temperature, appropriate use of antibiotics, smoking cessation, stress control, and limiting the use of lipid emulsions, including propofol, which may cause perioperative immunosuppression. In conclusion, COVID-19 vaccination is a major risk factor for infections in critically ill patients.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• Media and health authorities also ignore what Dr. Robert Malone and others have warned about from the start, which is that vaccinating during a pandemic will drive the evolution of resistant strains. This is precisely what we’re now seeing with Omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5, which circumvent both natural immunity and COVID jab-induced antibodies
• The CDC and the FDA are also ignoring the reality of immune imprinting, which is causing COVID-jabbed individuals to contract COVID more frequently, and repeatedly
• Media are again trying to drum up fear over new COVID strains, despite data clearly showing hospitalization rates remain steady even though the infection rate is rising
• When RNAs include pseudouridine — as all mRNA COVID shots do — they will last longer and be less inflammatory. However, we’ve now discovered pseudouridine-containing RNA also causes immunosuppression, which we’re seeing in many who have received the jabs
• Malone’s book, “The Lies My Government Told Me” is now available

Low Iodine In Pregnancy Worsens IQ Loss From Fluoride

A new study from Canada published this week in the journal Nutrients, found that pregnant women who had low iodine levels and elevated fluoride had boys who suffered an average IQ loss that was 58% greater than the already significant IQ loss from elevated fluoride alone [Goodman 2022].  Artificially fluoridated drinking water was the main source of the fluoride. The boys of women with low iodine levels lost, on average, 9.3 IQ points, while those of mothers with adequate iodine lost 5.9 IQ points, for every 1 mg/g increase in mother’s urine fluoride concentration.*  In previous work in the same group of pregnant mothers, drinking water fluoridated at 0.7 mg/L was associated with an increase of roughly 1 mg/g in urine fluoride [Till 2018].

23% of the Canadian women who took part in the new study were classified as having “low iodine”.  The iodine status of pregnant women in the USA is much worse than in Canada, with well over 50% currently meeting the criteria for “low iodine” used in this study [Watson 2020].

The authors point out that theirs was the first mother-child cohort study “to estimate the interplay between prenatal fluoride exposure and maternal iodine status in relation to child IQ”.  They also warned that “even mildly reduced iodine levels may have biological significance when interacting with fluoride.”

The study was spurred by the well-established link between low iodine during pregnancy and lowered intelligence in children, as well as previous studies finding fluoride can exacerbate the problem.  Iodine is essential for thyroid function, and the developing brain in utero critically depends on the mother’s thyroid activity.  Studies dating back to the 1930s found that fluoride can interfere with thyroid function.  More recently, there have been studies in England and Canada that have shown associations between fluoridated water and increased risk of hypothyroidism [Peckham 2015, Malin 2018].

The degree of intelligence lost from the combination of low iodine and elevated fluoride is large, at 9 IQ points from just drinking fluoridated water.  This loss of IQ can be put in context by comparing it to EPA policy that considers an average loss of just 1 to 2 IQ points as an “unacceptable risk” for public health and -1 IQ point as a standard in risk assessments of neurotoxins, including a 2021 assessment of fluoride [EFSA 2010, Budtz-Jørgensen 2013, Grandjean 2021].

The Goodman 2022 study follows up on a series of fluoride-IQ studies in Canadian and US cohorts by a team lead by Christine Till, PhD and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institutes for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).

Grandjean 2021

Their most prominent study was Green 2019, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics, and which garnered amongst the highest attention scores of any scientific article published in recent years [Altmetric score].  The Green 2019 study included an alternative measure of fluoride, which was the estimated milligrams per day (mg/d) intake based on tap water fluoride concentration and consumption plus fluoride from tea.  Using that measure of fluoride intake, loss of IQ was found not just for boys, but also for girls.  The authors offered several explanations for why, in their analysis with urine fluoride as the exposure measure, only the boys lost IQ.  The same explanations may apply to the Goodman 2022 study, which found lowered IQ in boys but not girls, associated with mother’s urine fluoride.

FAN Senior Advisor Paul Connett PhD, said of this newest study linking fluoride to IQ loss: “With over half of pregnant American women meeting this study’s criteria for low iodine, and with 2/3rds of the United States fluoridated, this results in a huge number of children at increased vulnerability to fluoride’s neurotoxic effects.  The arguments now being voiced by fluoridation’s defenders that fluoride’s benefits against tooth decay need to be balanced against its neurotoxicity ring hollow.  Permanently damaged brains far outweigh a saving of no more than about 1 cavity per child.”

 Covid-19 vaccines are causing unusual infections, and increasing the number of deaths, in critically ill patients, a leading heart specialist has revealed.

Although doctors are seeing a rising number of vaccine-related cases every day, the media isn’t reporting on the cases because of ‘biased propaganda’, says Kenji Yamamoto at Okamura Memorial Hospital, Japan, in an open letter to a medical journal.

Most of the cases are related to the mRNA vaccines, such as Pfizer’s Cominarty, and the doctor is recommending that booster jabs are stopped.  He fears the vaccine’s spike proteins will increase the rate of cardiovascular disease, and especially heart attacks and stroke.  “Besides the risk of infections owing to lowered immune functions, there is a possible risk of unknown organ damage caused by the vaccine that has remained hidden without apparent clinical presentations, mainly in the circularity system,” he writes.

Mask Mandates Didn't Lower COVID-19 Cases

Using CDC data, researchers with the University of Louisville calculated total COVID-19 case growth and mask use for the U.S. No significant differences were found in case growth between mandate and non-mandate states during periods of low or high transmission.

"Surges were equivocal," they noted, concluding, "Mask mandates and use are not associated with slower state-level COVID-19 spread during COVID-19 growth surges."2 While stating that their findings "do not support the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 transmission rates decrease with greater public mask use," they did note that "masks may promote social cohesion as rallying symbols during a pandemic."3

Similarly dismal results from mask mandates were demonstrated in Europe. A study published in Cureus analyzed data from 35 European countries, including morbidity, mortality and mask usage, over a six-month period. The researchers noted:4

"Mask mandates were implemented in almost all world countries and in most places where masks were not obligatory, their use in public spaces was recommended … These mandates and recommendations took place despite the fact that most randomized controlled trials carried out before and during the COVID-19 pandemic concluded that the role of masks in preventing respiratory viral transmission was small, null, or inconclusive."

When the data were analyzed, the study also revealed that the widespread use of masks did not reduce COVID-19 transmission. Worse, a moderate positive correlation was found between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe, which "suggests that the universal use of masks may have had harmful unintended consequences."5 

Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered on 7th

 

Rachael Maskell Shadow Minister (Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent discussions he has had with relevant stakeholders on the fluoridation of water and what plans he has to introduce water fluoridation schemes.

Maria Caulfield The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care

While there have been no recent discussions, the Department works with other Government departments on water fluoridation. Any confirmed plans by the Department to expand water fluoridation would be subject to funding being agreed and public consultation.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• Pfizer classified almost all severe adverse events that occurred during its Phase 3 trials as unrelated to the injection. A 2,566-page document catalogues serious adverse events and six deaths during the trial. These events were all classified as “toxicity level 4,” which is the most serious, yet none of them was deemed related to the injection
• Examples of Level 4 adverse events — all of which were written off as “not related” to the mRNA injection — include acute respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, brain abscess, adrenal carcinoma (adrenal cancer) and chronic myeloid leukemia (blood and bone marrow cancer)
• Most Level 3 adverse events were also dismissed as unrelated to the shot. Only a small number were listed as related. Examples of Level 3 side effects include tachycardia (disruption of the normal electrical impulses that control your heart rate — the very problem that underlies most cases of “sudden adult death syndrome” or SADS) and ventricular arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm that makes the lower chambers twitch rather than pump — another underlying cause of SADS)
• A reanalysis of data from the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccine trials found that, combined, Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 jabs were associated with a risk increase of serious adverse events of special interest of 12.5 per 10,000 vaccinated. Meanwhile, the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalization was only 2.3 per 10,000 participants for Pfizer and 6.4 per 10,000 for Moderna
• Whether intentional or not, mounting evidence now indicate the COVID-19 injections will result in depopulation through premature death and adverse effects on fertility in women and men alike. Research from Israel reveals the shot deteriorates sperm count and sperm motility in men for about three months post-jab

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• In the wake of the COVID jab rollout and additional boosters, a number of health conditions are on the rise, including cancer, most notably cancers of the uterus, endometrial cancers, and very aggressive blood and brain cancers
• Cancer has been on the rise for decades, thanks to dietary factors, but the COVID jabs appear to dramatically accelerate the disease process. Many doctors report cancer patients with stable disease, and those who have been in remission for years, will suddenly and rapidly develop Stage 4 disease
• A military whistleblower has come forward with data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) database showing dramatic increases in medical visits for cancers and other conditions, post-jab
• For neurological side effects of the shot, four remedies that can be very helpful are fluvoxamine (an antidepressant that blocks cytokine production in neural tissues), pharmaceutical grade methylene blue (improves mitochondrial respiration and repair), near-infrared light (triggers production of melatonin in your mitochondria) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (boosts mitochondrial function, decreases inflammation and much more)
• The COVID jabs also downregulate toll-like receptors 7 and 8, which allows latent viruses such as herpes EBV4 — Epstein-Barr, aka, mononucleosis — to flourish that would otherwise have been kept in check
