The Highwire with Del Bigtree - COLLEGES CLING TO ARCHAIC COVID VAX MANDATES

Episode Date: August 20, 2023

As the fall semester arrives, nearly 100 colleges still have COVID vaccine mandates for students. As more research proves mandates and school closures have been pointless and harmful, learn about No College Mandates, an organization fighting to end college mandates for good.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

This was the Atlantic headline. If people remember this, let's declare a pandemic amnesty. This set off a firestorm. People were saying, look, we'll forgive you if you tell us what you did wrong, which they never did. So one of the cartoonists really just captured this. This is Bob Moran. He was a cartoonist for the telegraph. And he had this picture. I mean, every once in a while, there's a cartoon or an art piece that captures a moment. And this is it right here. You see it says amnesty at the top. And it has two witches burning at the stake. two puritan-looking fellows, one with a torch, saying, oops, turns out they weren't witches after all. And then the second picture has the flames engulfed the witches. They say mistakes were made on both sides. Well, for things like this and for speaking out and trying to get kids back in

school, trying to end these lockdowns, Moran was fired. This is the headline Telegraph Sack cartoonist Bob Moran over Twitter post targeting NHS doctor. And this is his most recent tweet. He says this, thank you, Telegraph, for firing me when I tried to defend children against those who wish them harm through lockdowns. Great to see such ethical consistency. What's he talking about? Well, lo and behold, the Telegraph is now regularly reporting articles that look like this. And this is what he linked to that post. Lockdown was our generation's greatest error.

Another one from the Telegraph. Lockdown harmed emotional development of almost half of children. So you can see on a long enough timeline, the truth continues to rise to the. the top and those people that were early targeted are being vindicated one by one conspiracy theories are coming true and this is why we keep unraveling and showing this template all the time because this template is seeping into other things like the climate narrative we're going to talk about in just a second other narratives as well as being pulled you're seeing glimpses and shadows of this this this dark three years that we just went through we're seeing it being teased out and put into

other narratives to try to to control these control this information space so to Two years ago, almost to the date, August 2021, kids were trying to get back to school as they are right now. And there was a lot of questions. Is COVID contagious? Are they going to continue the lockdowns? Are they going to mask them? Vaccine for these kids was just on the horizon for emergency use. This was our reporting back then, trying to show people cut through the fear,

cut through all of the scare tactics the media was using and the government with all due respect and try to show parents. Look, this is not a big deal for kids. Take a listen. Some of the points that really drove this home for me were in these next slides. This is the American Academy of Pediatrics. This is their mortality rates for kids. And they do state-level data reporting for children in COVID-19. This is basically one of the major things they're doing right now during this pandemic.

And this is what they had to say. This is directly from their report, their updated report. It says, quote, the available data indicate that COVID-19-associated hospitalization and death is uncommon in children. At this time, it appears that severe illness due to COVID-19 is uncommon among children. Please take this to your school boards. Continuing with the quotes, mortality, 43 states, New York, Puerto Rico, WOM reported. That's 43 states, it's not all of them.

Among states reporting, children were 0.00% to 0.25% of all COVID-19 deaths. And seven states reported zero child deaths. In states reporting, 0.00% 0.03% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death. So bottom line there, it wasn't too much of a big deal. Obviously, it was a big deal for the children that passed and our hearts go out to those children in those statistics. But in the greater picture, when we're talking about locking down mental health, depression, suicides that came from that, on a scale, we can't really even compare those to. But now a new study has come out and we're looking at it looking at the clinical severity of COVID. And it looked at these timeframes. And the researchers wrote this. During the months of March 2020 through March 2021, 65,675 COVID-19 cases were reported in children age zero to 18 years in the Jerusalem district in Israel. And it says this. The case fatality rate in children was 0.076 per 1,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Here's the big line. There were five.

fatalities reported among the COVID-19 cases in children, all with an underlying major medical condition, two patients with malignancies age 11 years old, three patients with complex genetic disorders, age one month, seven months, and 16 years. And so reading between the lines on that, in this study, looking at that children, not one healthy child had a fatality, not one healthy child. These were kids with underlying conditions. That's right. And that was also March 20, to March 21. So that 12-month period in which we were still facing the Delta variants, a more severe variant for everybody. It's become a much less virulent variant and even less risk to our children. This, you know, and this data has been coming out for, you know, three years now.

We had Marty Macri's of Johns Hopkins study of 45,000 children that came to the same conclusion, you know, two years ago. And many other studies in German schools in Switzerland and Sweden and we have the great Sweden experiment that they proved we didn't have you didn't have to do any of this that you everybody did better when government was not locking us down masking us up shutting down our schools closing our businesses it's that's the message I love I love the way you're putting this stuff together you getting me so excited because this is the kind of narrative we got to keep hammering on you know here's the data it didn't work don't try it again we know you're going to try it again, but we're going to be standing here ready this time. And we knew this was the data.

And the other scare tactic they used was, well, maybe kids aren't really dying from this, but they're going to go there and they're vectors. They're these dirty vectors and they're going to all just exchange this COVID, this SARS-CoB2 virus, bring it home to grandma and killer. So you can't let them go to school. So this week, we have the Journal of the American Medical Association comes out with another study looking at the prevalence and risk factors of school associated transmission. Remember, they never tested the vaccines to see if they stopped transmission before they rolled them out. So we rely on studies like this. And this is the new one. It says this. For fall 2020 and spring 2021, 8K through 12 public school districts, 70 schools with over 33,000

enrolled students participated in the contact tracing study. Get this, 29 contacts. 74.4% were deemed possible or probable school associated transmissions. So over 33,000 kids, 29 contacts. You do that a little math crunching there. That's 0.08% roughly school transmission. So we're not talking about wildfires of COVID transmission here, but it goes on. It says for fall of 2021, 4K through 12 public school districts and one pre-k kindergarten through grade 9 private school, 34 schools with over 18,000 enrolled students participated. 44 were deemed possible or probable school-associated transmission. Again, you do the math crunching. that's 0.24 possible or probable school transmission.

So again, nothing going on in these schools, anything close to what the media was trying to scare us into. And back behind the scenes, there was a lot of people, so we had the Great Barrington Declaration. They were trying to, they were saying, don't open these, don't close these schools because it's going to hurt low income children. It's going to lead to mental health disparities.

It did all of that, looking back in history, unfortunately. But there are also other people, policy advice, and the president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, Ovik Roy. I had the opportunity to interview him recently in Memphis at the Freedom Fest, and he dropped a bombshell on me. He was working to get these schools open even before all of this was going on. This is what he had to say about that. This was his experience.

Take a listen. We estimated that 50 million kids were able to have in-person learning in the 2020 to 2021 academic year because of our work. Now, we obviously didn't win in every state. California stayed locked down, New York State locked down. Because there the teachers unions had a lot more power. Yes. In those, I can tell you, there were a lot of blue states

where the governors actually wanted to reopen schools, but they were so beholden to the teachers unions that they couldn't. So behind the scenes, it wasn't just the red states. There were blue states where we were fighting those fights behind the scenes. We just couldn't get over the hump of the teachers unions. And this is the thing that we've always known the teachers unions are, are not helpful in a lot of ways. But there's no doubt that if you come coming out of the COVID experience convinced me

that the teachers unions are the single greatest obstacle to the educational prospects of Americans. I remember when we when we launched our school reopening paper, which I believe was July. I was invited to present the data to a bunch of public health experts. Big names that you would know and people who follow these arguments. would know. Yeah. And I'll never forget, a guy who was then an academic public health guy, but then went on to work for the Biden administration leading the COVID response for Biden, said to me, after I presented all the data showing that in every country that had reopened schools, unlike the U.S., there had been no increase in COVID transmission, none. Yeah. France, Germany,

South Korea, Finland, take your pick. Every country where this had been studied, there had been no increase in transmission, so you could safely reopen schools. Didn't matter whether you kept the kids, six feet apart or zero feet apart. It didn't matter whether a more war master didn't. In every case, this transmission levels did not increase. Yes, absolutely. So we went through this data comprehensively. Present all this data and then this guy says, Ovik, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You're going to be the responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children in this country. And it's just appalling what you've done here today. Yeah, I absolutely agree with Mr. Roy. Teachers unions are a parasite on education,

on this country, they've been controlling too much of the narrative. We've got to, we've got to stop listening to them and, you know, start getting rid of some of those bureaucrats that wouldn't know a, you know, wouldn't know how to analyze a medical research paper, not to mention a eighth-grade science document. We just got to stop listening to them. They're controlling too much of policy. And they're harming children. They're harming children. They harmed millions of children in this country. And remember, they were right in there alongside the CDC literally crafting the language for the school reopenings so they could shut them right back down if cases spiked again. So they, they were, as he said, they were very responsible, if not the number one culprits, keeping these

clothes. But let's get to the real issue here. And this is an issue that's still ongoing. Heart inflammation, myocarditis. Up until then, we've been covering this for years on this show and bringing in experts like Dr. Peter McCullough. So up until now, we've had boys, young boys, adolescents, men in their 20s, second shot. That's when this thing really happens. That's what the CDC has been looking at. That's the data they found. And that is primarily the data that's been out in the public. But now we have something new. This is in the European Journal of Heart Failure. I have to say, you know if your vaccine product is being written up in the European Journal of Heart Failure, you got a problem. This is called sex-specific differences in myocardial injury incidents after

COVID-19. This is the Moderna's booster vaccination. And it says this, M RNA, Moderna's vaccine associated myocardal injury was adunicated, found basically, in 22 patients with 20 cases occurring in women and two in men, with a median age of 46. This sex difference was statistically significant. It caused the authors to conclude this. In conclusion, they say, using active surveillance, Modernus vaccine associated mild transient mild heartal injury was found to be much more common than previously thought. It occurred in one out of 35 persons and more frequent in women versus men. So we have a whole flip of the narrative at this

point. This should stop everybody in their tracks. This thing is no longer selectively targeting young boys. We have females now with a median age of 46 that are having mild cardiac injury. Statistically significant, they say in this paper. One in 35. Jeffrey. one in 35. And this is no longer a side conversation. We're trying to like, you know, punch up to get people to pay attention to. It's mainstream conversation now. And because of that, we're going more in depth into this next week. We're going to have for the first time, never before, in the studio at the same time, Dr. Gert Bandenbosch and Dr. Peter McCullough. They're going to talk about the future predictions of COVID and the latest science,

what they're saying, alerting the public to the possible mounting issues of these vaccine, these MRI vaccine technologies. Why does this matter, though? This matters because let's go to Rebel News, independent media outlet doing great work through the pandemic, still doing great work. Headline here, COVID vaccine mandates persist at over 100 U.S. colleges, three years into the pandemic. So what are they getting that information from? This is no college mandates. This is their Twitter page.

It says this. There are over 2,674-year colleges in the U.S. Below is a list of 100 colleges. They are the only colleges in universities mandating students to take COVID vaccines for fall. Being told, that list is now down to 97. But that's the list right there. And if you go to their website, no college mandates, you can find all the resources. They've been tracking this from the get-go.

They have letter campaigns, petitions you can sign, legal resources, even exemption resources and how to understand how those work. And also what colleges never mandated these vaccines. So if you're a college student or a parent and you want to put your money and your time worth colleges that actually stand for your ideals, they have a list of those people there. So they've been tracking this countdown. And on a side note, most medical students, no matter what college they're at, they still have to adhere to these COVID vaccines. I mean, this is like this point is like the ultimate sacrament for this dogmatic religion. Yeah.

Let me tell you. I mean, I'm talking to these medical students, writing medical exemptions. So many of them have real medical conditions that absolutely demand it. Many of them have, as we talked in the first part of the show, they have real religious objections to these vaccines and many of the vaccines that they didn't know about. You know, there's, we have got to have resources. These colleges, you know, follow the money. There's more money coming to them.

If they get a certain percentage of their, you know, student body vaccinated, it's all about money driving this because I tell you, it's not science. The science says you are doing absolutely. the wrong thing to a population of people that have statistically zero risk of having a serious case. And you have a 133 times greater risk of developing myocarditis than from the virus itself. You know, that narrative has got to go away. You got to get the right science. If these colleges and universities would watch the high wire and they would read the Jackson Report material,

this problem would be solved. So let's get some legislation to mandate the Jackson Report.
