The Highwire with Del Bigtree - ASTRAZENECA FALLOUT AMIDST VACCINE WITHDRAWAL

Episode Date: May 20, 2024

Embroiled in coast to coast lawsuits from the alleged harms of their COVID vaccine, AstraZeneca is receiving massive public backlash after admitting their shot can cause blood clots in court proceedings. Jefferey Jaxen also reveals payments made by the pharma giant to doctors in the UK, including celebrity pediatrician, Dr. Ranj Singh who strongly advocated for the now pulled product.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Astrozenica's problems don't just stop in the United States with Aaron Siri and Breaand Dresson. They go over to the UK as well where there's an active class action lawsuit there. And some court documents came out and they, AstraZeneca, admitted some very interesting things in these court documents. Here's the headline that came from this. Astrozenica admits its COVID vaccine can cause rare side effect in court documents for the first time. And it's interesting here because it says in the article, in a letter of response sent in May 23, Asterozenica told lawyers for Mr. Scott, he's one of the people in this class action, we do not accept that TTS, this is thrombosis with thrombocytopinia syndrome,

is caused by the vaccine at a generic level. But in the legal documents submitted to the high court in February, Asterozenica said, quote, it is admitted that the Astrozenica vaccine can, in very rare cases, cause TTS. The causal mechanism is not known. So they're talking about two sides of their mouth. They're telling the plaintiffs, one thing, but they're telling the court, well, you know, when it really comes down to it, yeah, very rare cases and this thrombosis, basically a blood clot at the same time with low platin count. This is the thrombosis and thrombocytopenia.

And this is kind of a rare, they're calling it an entity in the literature, rare new entity that's vaccine induced. So this is something that it's just been on the front burner in AstraZeneca's face, they're trying to damage control this. But remember the world, the UK, the media, the governments, they had a chance to put into this, to stop this in 2021. Astrozenica's vaccine went into arms outside of trials in January 2021. That's why it first started widespread use. And just a few months later in March, they began to see these problems, these blood clots. And a lot of countries started halting it.

And what we see is what we see with a lot of things, whether it's puberty blockers or the vaccines, the Nordic countries are always seem to be ahead in, being cautious on this. So they were the first to do this in 2021. Here's this headline. And you saw Nordic countries halt the use because this was dark ice way. But then sure enough, shortly after that, you had the major European nations started to do that as well. You had Germany, France, Italy, Spain, all suspended the use of this vaccine. And even in Reuters, they were coming out and the European Medicines Agency had to look at this vaccine. And you saw this headline out of Reuters, a clear link between Astrozenic Vaccine and Rare Blood Clots and the brain,

the EMA officials tell tells paper. So think about this for a second. So in the UK, they have something just like the VAIR system, the vaccine adverse event reporting system. They have the yellow card system. So a general practitioner, GP, John practitioner can file, you know, if one of their patients has a medical event after the vaccine, they can file this in the yellow card system. And when you look at AstraZeneca's listing by 2021, this is what it looked like for any journalist, any government beneficial that wanted to look and see what kind of alleged harms that were being caused by this thing, by people reporting. You can see here, just AstraZeneca, where you have like 52,000 there in the 40 to 49 age group, over 52,000 in the 50 to 59 age group. You add that up.

It's well over 100,000 people. And in the dark, in the dark green, I guess, dark to light green, that's serious reports. So there's way more serious reports than there are. And then you go to specifically right here in this chart, blood and lymphatic. system disorders. These are those blood clots. And not a couple, not 10, not 20. You have thousands of serious reports. And then if you look at the really dark green, serious reports with a fatal outcome. And it's not small. There's there's some in there. So all the journalists, again, all the government officials had this at their fingertips in 2021. They could have really, they're sitting there, like,

the fact that they call a yellow card system, I'm sitting here, I never really thought about it, right? but I played soccer as a kid. And you think about sort of that reference, like the yellow card being, you know, if you cause any more blood clots or thrombocide opinion, you're getting kicked out of this game. Red card next for you, buddy. I mean, it's such a bizarre thought. I don't know if that's the thinking behind it, but, you know, football is a huge thing in England and Europe and the fact that they call a yellow card system, but it really is.

It's alarming, right? You are causing serious damage. And all those people where we see that going on. knew about it. Yeah. And so you had this halt. This moment in time where we paused, as many countries did collectively and said, something's going on here, let's look at this. Let's just jog people's memory. This is how the media reported on it during that pause. Take a look. The World Health Organization says there's no reason to stop the use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca

coronavirus vaccine. The statement comes after Bulgaria, Romania, and Thailand joined three Scandinavian countries in suspending inoculations with this particular vaccine. They were reacting to reports of blood clots in some people who'd received the shot, although there is no evidence of any link. The AstraZeneca vaccine has been linked in some way to blood clots. Now, what is the evidence? And is this causation, or correlation, just a coincidence, or a serious cause for concern? It's almost certainly a coincidence.

All the data that we have so far is that the level of blood clots is lower than it would be before vaccinations. So that's in itself reassuring. We can say that yes, blood clots are happening after vaccination, but they're almost certainly not caused by the vaccinations. Why is there this massive reaction all of a sudden? I really worry that the damage done by pausing vaccination programs and the resultant COVID that will happen and the complications will far outweigh any damage that may have been prevented,

for example, by looking at these clots, which we don't think are related to the vaccines at all. There's nothing to suggest a causal link between clots and the vaccine. So there seems no reason to be worried about either vaccine being used in the UK rollout. Wow. I mean, when you just watched that level of propaganda. And folks, I don't know if you caught the one person. I mean, these people will stop at nothing. The one guy says, in fact, it appears that it lowers blood clots in people that get the vaccine.

We, you know, we made it for COVID. But as it turns out, it's a blood clot blocker. I mean, you got me absolutely. They'll say absolutely anything. And, I mean, you got to remind people, do you remember when the news actually used to give you both sides of the story? There are a lot of people that are claiming that they've had this injury. We're talking to some scientists are saying, otherwise, you should decide, no, they come right out of the gate. Do not stop taking it.

There's no evidence. I mean, it's pure propaganda, and they did it all across the world. I'm amazed anyone ever watches these news stations ever again. It's not new. I mean, these propaganda channels ever again. Right. And you can see one of the people in that montage there was Dr. Raj Singh, and he was the one getting the vaccine on camera.

He was a huge proponent for this AstraZeneca vaccine on UK media. And if you go over to Disclosure UK, you can search payments by practitioner that have received payments from big pharma companies. But we look at AstraZeneca, how many practitioners and healthcare organizations that they paid. In 2021, they paid about over 68 million pounds to health care practitioners and health care organizations. But Dr. Singh was one of them. You can see here he received 22,500 pounds. And a lot of people are kind of up in arms about that because he is the one promoting the vaccine.

He's receiving money from the manufacturer from. So he was trotted out back on TV to kind of explain himself and take a look at this. You spoke a lot about the vaccine when it was rolled out, and you've had a bit of backlash on it on social media. One of the places where there has been a lot of debate around COVID vaccines in general has been on social media, everyone from scientists through to people who've suffered potentially adverse reactions. Right through to the abject conspiracy theories, the news that's just come out has ignited a hell of a lot of discussion. And that's come from, especially from people who have got conspiracy, maybe anti-vax views, who believe now that they were deliberately misled over these vaccines.

And I've experienced that backlash directly. And I said it's been quite distressing, but nothing compared to what the families have been through. But it has been unfair. As a healthcare professional, I worked throughout the COVID pandemic on the front line. I also spoke on screen and online about COVID and about the vaccines, especially as they were launching. And I can say that our job was to get the best information and advice out to the public that we could based on what we knew at the time. And in those early stages where we started seeing the reports about those potential clots and adverse reactions, we didn't, based on all the information we had, there was not enough to say that it was down to the vaccines because

those clots happened for lots of other reasons and they weren't happening at a higher rate than we would expect at that time. But we've also going to remember that this was on the background of an unprecedented global and evolving pandemic that was killing millions of people at the time. Oh, man. I mean, first of all, like, you see, he literally like spews all of this and it turns to the next card, like covered that. You got to imagine what those cards say at the top, right? It's probably just astrodentica is like the notepaper and below it says, dance, you shall dance. What do we pay you for?

I'm like, and you know, we were going with the best information that we were paid to give you from Astazeneca, the company making billions of dollars off the product. And yeah, I'm getting some backlash now. Oh, no, I love, I love the fact that you're still called a conspiracy theory after you've been proven right. I mean, that's where we're at. Now it's like I'm going to be stuck with conspiracy theory my entire life because it doesn't matter that you were right. You were still a conspiracy theorist. And we're hearing it here too. They still refer to all the, you know, the conspiracy theorists are saying, what do you mean conspiracy theories?

No longer theory anymore. Your show right now is saying no theory left is now a fact. Anyway, I mean, you got a question the person literally walking on stage with cue cards to read from. I mean, talk about disingenuous. Yeah. All right. So what we saw, so the EMA was looking into it. There was blood clots at the time, but as we know, it came out and said it's safe and effective.

Those were the headlines that were made. European Medicines Agency says it's safe and effective. So on it went. And Estrogenica actually went one step further. They were bold because after they kind of got through that whole fiasco of blood clots in 2021, they went for the U.S. market. So they came and they said, you know what? Our trials, they found that this vaccine is 100% effective.

More effective than any drug in the history of mankind, 100%. And that's what they ran with at the headlines. But at some point, they decided to withdraw that application in the U.S. so it did not enter the U.S. market. So they withdrew the FDA application. They decided to focus on antibodies, perhaps seeing in the writing on the wall that these lawsuits were coming down or these people were getting injured. And as we know now, not a conspiracy, not an anti-vax, whatever, they've withdrawn it globally. They're in the process withdrawing their vaccine globally.

And I mean, any company that spends that much money on research and development that just pulls their product in the middle of a ton of lawsuits, that's a story. I remember, and we've been covering this story. Again, big shocker. We were on this the moment it was happening, because we're conspiracy theorists, I guess. But if I remember correctly, Jeffrey, because it's been now a couple years. But though that shill on the news there was saying, well, we had no idea. We were, you know, looked like it was safe. You really didn't. You really didn't. You know, you had all these Nordic countries that were seeing, you know, if I remember correctly, it had a very specific signature that you had. you pointed out, it was blood clots as this at the same time as thrombocytopinia, which, you know, isn't like impossible in nature, but it's really rare. For people that don't know what that means, it means your platelets have been reduced, yet you are getting clots. Now, normally clots are because you have too many platelets gathering in one area. And so that gave this a very specific signature that is so rare that they said, well, why would we suddenly see this rise. It wasn't just, yeah, blood clots happened, but blood clots at the same time as thrombocytes

opinion, that isn't happening all the time. It's a very rare occurrence. And if I remember correctly, one of the things that tip them off is heparin is a drug that's given when you're getting blood clots and you're in a dangerous situation to break down and get rid of the platelets to break apart those blood clots and people were then bleeding out, which is what led to them like, oh my God, we are doing what we normally do with a blood clot, but we're killing people. We can't do that because for whatever reason, at the same time they're getting clots, they're losing platelets. And so it was that very unique signature that was happening that made it obvious that there

was a real, at least correlation. So these people are saying, oh, it's only happenstance. It's clearly a coincidence. In fact, it's reducing blood clots. You really, you're watching straight up lies. It was very clear at the time. And now suddenly, as all the other things were reported, we're proven right. Those Nordic countries were right.

They were right to block it. They were a right to stop it. And every shield that said keep getting it, really we should question what happens with him. Looks like we just lost Jeffrey for some reason. Imagine we're going to try and get him back. But when you look at this, I mean, I'll just talk about that. This is when you realize the problem with having the commercial. in your breaks. When you're watching the news, and I've said this before, but so many millions of you

are joining all the time, welcome to the high wire. You've got to recognize who is paying for the information you're getting. Who is paying that wrote up those cards in the hands of that news anchor where he's clearly reading something says, we're going to throw you a softball question. By the way, this isn't how news is supposed to be produced, right? But this is how that show is being produced. The executive producer is saying to the producers, all right, we need to throw out a softball and then our reporter who got the shot with everybody that said that he was giving us the best information that he could based on the news. Forget about the fact that he was paid by AstraZeneca to be a shill for the company. And, you know, but when you see all of that happening, when you

start recognizing it on television, just watch how many commercials are pharmaceutical commercials between the breaks of the news companies you're watching. Pick your favorite. one, pick Fox or NBC or ABC, whoever it is, doesn't matter, just start counting how many ads are coming from the pharmaceutical industry and recognize that is their boss. All right, that is who is running that news organization. And in most of the studies done, somewhere between 50 to 70 percent of all funding in American news is pharma. So if you think your news anchor is going to tell you the truth, next.

time you're being poisoned by a pharmaceutical product, think again. But by all means, make sure you pay that cable bill before you think of funding the high wire.
