As lockdowns have kept people at home and out of medical facilities,
infant vaccination rates have dropped. As you might expect, this is bad news
for the drug industry, which is likely why they’ve started promoting baseless
claims that childhood vaccinations might prevent COVID-19 deaths.
Baseless
Claims Seek to Bolster Vaccine Uptake
There’s
absolutely no evidence for this, yet, in March 2020, they started pushing the
TB vaccine, claiming it might “steel the immune system” against SARS-CoV-2. As
reported by Science:1
“Researchers
in four countries will soon start a clinical trial of an unorthodox approach to
the new coronavirus. They will test whether a century-old vaccine against
tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial disease, can rev up the human immune system in a
broad way, allowing it to better fight the virus that causes coronavirus
disease 2019 and, perhaps, prevent infection with it altogether.”
In
April 2020, the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine was
touted as a “major breakthrough” against COVID-19. The British Express
reported:2
“Researchers
at the University of Cambridge said the injection could prevent severe symptoms
in people who have had it because the rubella virus has a similar structure to
the coronavirus …
When
they compared the rubella virus and the coronavirus the researchers found that
they were 29 percent identical … The researchers have no evidence that the MMR
vaccine works on COVID-19 patients but they assured ‘a study is warranted.’”
In
June 2020, it was the polio vaccine’s turn in the spotlight. According to The Hill,3 tuberculosis
and polio vaccines are being examined “for possible protection against
COVID-19.”
Jeffrey D. Cirillo, a
professor of microbial pathogenesis and immunology at Texas A&M Health
Science Center, went so far as to state, “This is the only vaccine in the world
that can be given to combat COVID-19 right now.”
Based on what? Based on
vaccination rates in countries such as Pakistan, “where most of the population
is vaccinated for tuberculosis and death rates for COVID-19 have been extremely
low.” That’s it.
Meanwhile, discussions and evidence showing
the benefits of vitamin C and vitamin D — as well as many other therapies — are banned and censored. This, despite significant
scientific evidence actually backing their use and showing the biology by which
these nutrients and therapies can prevent and/or treat this particular
infection. Talk about travesty.
The oral
polio vaccine, by the way, is now the primary cause of polio paralysis in the
world, not wild polio.4,5 This is an inconvenient fact that is
completely ignored by most mainstream media.
Common Cold May Provide Long-Term
Immunity Against COVID-19
In related news, June 12, 2020, the
Daily Mail,6 Science Times7 and others8 reported findings from a
Singaporean study9 led by professor Antonio
Bertoletti, an immunologist with the Duke-NUS Medical School, showing common
colds caused by the betacoronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 might make you more
resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and that the resulting immunity might last
as long as 17 years.
Exposure
to coronaviruses responsible for the common cold appear to allow your immune
system to recognize and fight off SARS-CoV-2 as well.
In
addition to the common cold, OC43 and HKU1 — two of the most commonly
encountered betacoronaviruses10 — are also known to
cause bronchitis, acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
and pneumonia in all age groups.11 As reported by the
Daily Mail:12
“They
share many genetic features with the coronaviruses Covid-19, MERS and SARS, all
of which passed from animals to humans. Coronaviruses are thought to account
for up to 30 percent of all colds but it is not known specifically how many are
caused by the betacoronavirus types.
Now
scientists have found evidence that some immunity may be present for many years
due to the body’s ‘memory’ T-cells from attacks by previous viruses with a
similar genetic make-up — even among people who have had no known exposure to
Covid-19 or SARS …
Blood
was taken from 24 patients who had recovered from Covid-19, 23 who had become
ill from SARS and 18 who had never been exposed to either SARS or Covid-19 …
Half
of patients in the group with no exposure to either Covid-19 or SARS possessed
T-cells which showed immune response to the animal betacoronaviruses, Covid-19
and SARS. This suggested patients’ immunity developed after exposure to common
colds caused by betacoronavirus or possibly from other as yet unknown
pathogens.”
In
other words, if you’ve beat a common cold caused by a OC43 or HKU1
betacoronavirus in the past, you may have a 50/50 chance of having defensive
T-cells that can recognize and help defend against SARS-CoV-2, the novel
coronavirus that causes COVID-19. According to the researchers:13
“These
findings demonstrate that virus-specific memory T-cells induced by
betacoronavirus infection are long-lasting, which supports the notion that
Covid-19 patients would develop long-term T-cell immunity. Our findings also
raise the intriguing possibility that infection with related viruses can also
protect from or modify the pathology caused by SARS-Cov-2.”
Other
Studies Show Similar Results
Other
studies have also discovered that many appear to have prior resistance to
SARS-CoV-2. For example, a study14 published May 14, 2020,
in the journal Cell, found 70% of samples obtained by the La Jolla Institute
for Immunology from patients who had recovered from mild cases of COVID-19, as
well as 40% to 60% of people who had not been exposed to the virus, had
resistance to SARS-CoV-2 on the T-cell level.
According to the authors,
this suggests there’s “cross-reactive T cell recognition between
circulating ‘common cold’ coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2.” Like Bertoletti’s
study above, the Cell study found that exposure to coronaviruses responsible
for the common cold appear to allow your immune system to recognize and fight
off SARS-CoV-2 as well.
May
14, 2020, Science magazine reported15 these
Cell findings, drawing parallels to another earlier paper16 by
German investigators that had come to a similar conclusion.
That
German paper,17 the preprint of which was posted April 22, 2020, on
Medrxiv, found helper T cells that targeted the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in 15
of 18 patients hospitalized with COVID-19. As reported by Science:18
“The
teams also asked whether people who haven’t been infected with SARS-CoV-2 also
produce cells that combat it. Thiel and colleagues19 analyzed
blood from 68 uninfected people and found that 34% hosted helper T cells that
recognized SARS-CoV-2.
The
La Jolla team20 detected this crossreactivity in about half of
stored blood samples collected between 2015 and 2018, well before the current
pandemic began …
The
results suggest ‘one reason that a large chunk of the population may be able to
deal with the virus is that we may have some small residual immunity from our
exposure to common cold viruses,’ says viral immunologist Steven Varga of the
University of Iowa. However, neither of the studies attempted to establish that
people with crossreactivity don’t become as ill from COVID-19.
Before
these studies, researchers didn’t know whether T cells played a role in
eliminating SARS-CoV-2, or even whether they could provoke a dangerous immune
system overreaction. ‘These papers are really helpful because they start to
define the T cell component of the immune response,’ [Columbia University virologist Angela] Rasmussen says.”
Statistician
Believes Majority Are Resistant to COVID-19
These
studies add support to the latest COVID-19 mortality models suggesting
widespread resistance and prior immunity. Freddie Sayers, executive editor of
UnHerd, recently interviewed professor Karl Friston, a statistician whose
expertise is mathematical modeling, who believes prior immunity across the
global population might be as high as 80%. Sayers reports:21
“[Friston]
invented the now standard ‘statistical parametric mapping’ technique for
understanding brain imaging — and for the past months he has been applying his
particular method of Bayesian analysis, which he calls ‘dynamic causal
modelling,’ to the available Covid-19 data …
His
models suggest that the stark difference between outcomes in the UK and
Germany, for example, is not primarily an effect of different government
actions (such as … earlier lockdowns), but is better explained by intrinsic
differences between the populations that make the ‘susceptible population’ in
Germany … much smaller than in the UK …
Even
within the UK, the numbers point to the same thing: that the ‘effective
susceptible population’ was never 100%, and was at most 50% and probably more
like only 20% of the population.”
These statistics really throw
the idea of social distancing being an unavoidable part of the post-COVID-19
“new normal” into question. What’s more, once sensible behaviors such as
staying home when sick are entered into Friston’s model, the effect of lockdown
efforts vanish altogether, so global lockdowns were likely completely
unnecessary in the first place.
Nobel-Prize
Winning Scientist Debunks Growth Projections
Michael
Levitt,22 a professor of structural biology at the Stanford School
of Medicine who received the Nobel Prize in 2013 for his development of
multiscale models for complex chemical systems, has also presented strong
evidence that supports Friston’s model.
According to Levitt,
statistical data reveals a mathematical pattern that has stayed consistent
regardless of the government interventions implemented. While early models
predicted an exponential explosion of COVID-19 deaths, those predictions never
materialized. As reported by Sayers in the video above:
“After
around a two-week exponential growth of cases (and, subsequently, deaths) some
kind of break kicks in, and growth starts slowing down. The curve quickly
becomes ‘sub-exponential.’ This may seem like a technical distinction, but its
implications are profound.
The
‘unmitigated’ scenarios modelled by (among others) Imperial College, and which
tilted governments across the world into drastic action, relied on a
presumption of continued exponential growth …
But
Professor Levitt’s point is that that hasn’t actually happened anywhere, even
in countries that have been relatively lax in their responses.”
Levitt
believes prior immunity plays a significant role in why we simply don’t see an
exponential growth pattern of COVID-19 deaths, and that certainly seems to make
sense. A majority of people simply aren’t (and weren’t) susceptible to the
disease in the first place.
He tells Sayers the
indiscriminate lockdowns implemented around the world were “a huge mistake.” A
more rational approach would have been to protect and isolate the elderly, who
are by far the most vulnerable and make up the bulk of COVID-19 deaths around
the world.
Hopefully, these data will
not be swept under the rug if or when a second wave of COVID-19 emerges this
fall. Making that mistake once is bad enough. Let us not repeat it.
Last but not least, to bolster your
immune system and lower your risk of COVID-19 infection in the future, be sure
to follow the instructions given in “Your Vitamin D Level Must Reach 60 ng/mL Before the
Second Wave.”
One
of the Most Powerful Videos I’ve Ever Seen
The following video from
Barbara Loe Fisher is one of the most powerful videos that I have ever seen. I
am hopeful that watching this video will inspire you to take up the cause and
join the fight for vaccine freedom and independence.
There is a cultural war and
collusion between many industries and federal regulatory agencies that results
in a suppression of the truth about vital important health issues. If this
suppression continues we will gradually and progressively erode our private
individual rights that our ancestors fought so hard to achieve. Please take a
few minutes to watch this video.
Protect
Your Right to Informed Consent and Defend Vaccine Exemptions
With
all the uncertainty surrounding the safety and efficacy of vaccines, it’s
critical to protect your right to make independent health choices and exercise
voluntary informed consent to vaccination. It is urgent that everyone in
America stand up and fight to protect and expand vaccine informed consent
protections in state public health and employment laws. The best way to do this
is to get personally involved with your state legislators and educate the
leaders in your community.

Think Globally, Act Locally
National vaccine policy recommendations are made at the federal level
but vaccine laws are made at the state level. It is at the state level where
your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.
It is critical for EVERYONE to get involved now in standing up for the
legal right to make voluntary vaccine choices in America because those choices
are being threatened by lobbyists representing drug companies, medical trade
associations and public health officials, who are trying to persuade
legislators to strip all vaccine exemptions from public health laws.
