I love Aaron Siri.
He's been such a, there's nobody who's been a greater asset to the medical freedom movement than him.
And I first met Aaron, I think around 2015 when he came to California
to do the, you know, when they were trying to repeal the religious exemption.
And from the beginning, Aaron was involved in this issue because of,
he saw the connection between constitutional rights and,
You know, this rising medical cartel that was, that, you know, really posed a threat to our civil rights, our individual freedoms.
That was this elevation of corporate power over democracy and over all the things that our country stand for,
which is freedom of the individual, to flourish, to function, to make their own choices, and, you know, and to pursue happiness in our own individual.
way and that was you know we were being treated in this kind of cookie-cutter
medicine that had abandoned public health and was focused instead on this kind
militarized and monetized version of public health that had nothing to do with
healthy people and that was turning doctors into agents of the state and
agents of you know abandoning the 2800 years of
of tradition since Hippocrates where a doctor would be solely focused on the good of the patient.
And instead the doctor would, the good of that patient was irrelevant.
It was the good, he was treating the patient for the good of society.
And once you do that, you're on a slippery slope.
Because, I mean, in truth,
In truth, it would be better for society under some arguments if we just got rid of all the old people,
because they're spending 80% of our medical expenses go to treating people in the first year of life.
Wouldn't it be better for us all if we just got rid of those people here early?
And that is where this will take us.
When doctors become agents of state policy and they're no longer treating that patient,
You know, there's no end to the villainy that is going to occur.
And you have these incredible ethical doctors in this room.
We were talking during, you know, during dinner about what has happened in other countries under fascist regimes
where, you know, the medical system has not been, had a sterling reputation at defending ethics and defending morality.
And so, you know, people like Aaron are critically needed, and he came in with a very clear vision about what this battle was about.
His life and his family have been touched also by vaccine injury.
But the main thing about Aaron is that he's really, really smart.
I don't know what his IQ is, but it's a lot more than mine.
And he's scary, smart.
and he's an incredible litigator,
and he's a very seasoned litigator.
And the people, you know, in my life, in my world,
the people who are kind of most respected
are people who are really serious litigators.
And because they get that seasoning,
gives them a veteran savvy.
It gives them a judgment that is even more valuable
than their intelligence.
And he has an incredible strategic sense
sense, the lawsuits that he's focused on and he's got us to all focus on and that his organization
I can has focused on have been very, very methodical in the strategy of kind of advancing
the ball incrementally to a point where we can then begin a cascading effect.
And I'll give you an example.
I mean, this week, he won a case that was, is really breathtaking,
which is a case in Mississippi to reestablish the religious exemption,
but it's based upon the First Amendment of the Constitution.
So it has presidential and implications for every state in this country.
It really is a beachhead at reestablishing our rights,
to choose our own medical interventions
and not have the state choose them for us.
The first big case he brought was against HHS.
HHS, Congress when it passed the Vaccine Act,
told HHS three things.
You gotta make vaccines safer,
and you gotta report, you gotta form a committee
that evaluates the vaccines every year
and tells us whether they're there,
being made safer. And number three, you have to publish a report to Congress every two years
that shows how you've made the vaccine safer. And in, what is it now, 34 years or 44 years
since the, 36 years, since the Vaccine Act, how many times has HHS actually complied with
that law to publish that report every two years, not once? And that has, um, and that has, um,
And they did form a committee at first, but 20 years ago, they abandoned it and they've done nothing.
This is the number one thing that Congress asked them to do.
And basically what Congress said is we recognize we're giving liability shield to these vaccine companies,
and they have no incentive to make these vaccines safer.
They have zero incentive to make them safer.
And, but we need to put that responsibility in somebody's hands, so we're putting it in HHS's hands.
And this is how you've got to do it.
And from the beginning, HHS just ignored that.
And it was a law that nobody knew about that, you know, Aaron, that everybody had long forgotten,
and that Aaron discovered and said this actually is going to be the, you know, the way that we get the camels
nose onto the tent.
We begin here and then we'll work on the rest of the camel
when we get that done.
And he won that case and it was one of our first great victories.
And then he's one case after case after that bud.
He has something more than judgment.
He's an incredible friend to me.
And he has been a source of wisdom to me
in personal ways and professional ways, but consistently
When President Trump asked me to go have these meetings
to the White House, the guy I called up and said,
will you come with me?
It was Aaron, because I trust his judgment.
And as I said, he has wisdom.
The word wisdom means a knowledge of God's will.
It means a really an instinct for right and wrong
and what's right to do in every situation.
And Aaron has that, and I have so much respect for him
and so much love for him.
And I wish I could be in this room with you to hear him talk tonight, but I'm going to have to listen to the tape later.
Anyway, my friend, Aaron Siri.
There he is.
Most media killer, probably.
Kill it, man.
So I was asked to come and talk about mandates, and in particular about college mandates.
And so, I was thinking about mandates, and I was thinking about what I was going to say here tonight.
And of course, I also was thinking about React 19's mission with regards to folks who've been injured by COVID-19 vaccines.
And as I was thinking about what I was going to say, I realized that in many ways, mandates and the safety of vaccines very much go hand in hand.
They go hand in hand because when you think about mandates, when you think about mandates, when you
think about coercing somebody to do something, when has that been done in our time and throughout
history? It's usually been done when people in power can't persuade you on the merits.
When they can't persuade you on the merits, they turn to coercion, mandates, force. But when do they
need to do that? Do they need to do that with water? Have you yet?
don't drink, we're all going to die.
Didn't they need to do that with the chicken you're about to be served?
Nope.
They need to do that when they want to force you to do something that probably has some
issue, risk, whether it be a risk to your body, to your immortal soul, because it
violates your religious beliefs, or some other form of risk.
The intersection of, especially when it comes to products
and mandating products and mandating vaccines,
really intersects with safety.
Because if there were zero safety issues,
if there were no concern,
then you probably wouldn't even need the mandate to begin with.
You wouldn't need to coerce people,
except for my 9-year-old, he will not eat his healthy food.
But I'm not the government.
So in my house, I'm allowed to set any rules I want.
My kids tell me all the time,
I have a right to freedom of speech.
And I'm like, no, I'm not the government.
You have no right to speech in the house.
This is called a parentocracy.
When you go up to folks, when most people go up to somebody and they say, hey, I've been injured.
I've been hurt.
I've got something that is, something bad happened to me.
The typical reaction for most people is sympathy, empathy.
but when you add the word vaccine before the word injury,
doesn't always get the same reaction.
Mothers, fathers, children, neighbors across this country
have suffered devastating injuries from COVID-19 vaccines.
That's just the truth.
That's a reality.
There are many joys that have been stolen from these people.
Many of them will never know the serenity of a day
without any pain and suffering.
ever again. That's just a reality. And it's a very uncomfortable reality for some.
Many of these folks who were injured by COVID-19 vaccines are everyday Americans. They trusted
the federal health authorities. They trusted the medical organizations. They went out and got the
shot thinking safe and effective. And when they had an issue, when they were injured,
what did they do?
They often went back
to those very same institutions
pleading,
sometimes crying
for help.
I trusted you.
I got this shot.
I'm now seriously hurt.
Help me.
And what do they get in return?
Often they get
no reaction, no response,
no assistance,
no even appearing
interest often in investigating what went wrong to not only help them, but avoid the issue going
forward. If they had went back and sought assistance and said they were injured and not vaccine
injured, maybe they would have gotten a different reaction. The proof of what I'm saying, of the differential
that occurs when you're injured by a vaccine, to see that proof,
You need look no further than the existence of React 19.
React 19 is the testament, the living proof of what I just said.
If our health authorities and our medical organization institutions
had done what they were supposed to do,
had stepped up, had treated those who were injured,
had had the humanity, the decency,
or at least just did their Hippocratic oath, if nothing else,
and stepped up and treated those who were injured,
React 19 wouldn't need to exist.
It exists precisely because they're not doing their job,
because it's a vaccine injury, not an injury.
I had somebody asked me earlier,
tell me a heartbreaking story of loss from a COVID-19 vaccine,
and they said to me, how could this happen?
Why is nothing happening?
Why is nobody doing anything?
And that question is asked of me over and over again.
How can it be?
React 19 has, is it 19,000 members?
I'm seeing a higher number.
30,000 members.
I presume most of whom have had some serious injury
from COVID-19 vaccine.
That's one group.
One group.
That is 30,000.
I presume mostly folks in America, all Americans.
30,000 Americans, one group, seriously injured from the COVID-19 vaccine.
How can the cacophony of that much suffering and injury
that probably distributes across this whole country
just be ignored by our health authorities?
That is the question I'm often asked.
And I think to understand the answer to that question,
you have to understand the parents.
paradigm into which COVID-19 vaccines fell.
There has a well-established system of how vaccines economically, regulatory-wise, are treated
in this country.
Without understanding that backdrop, without understanding the framework in which COVID-19s fell
into, it's hard to understand how health authorities and the medical organizations could be so callous.
So I'm going to talk a bit about that structure and that framework that COVID-19 vaccines fell into.
Try to keep it a little bit light and exciting because I believe it's a dinner conversation, but I'll try.
The genesis of the current paradigm which vaccines fell into is the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.
As I just, as its name says, the next slide please, it is, it was passed in 1986.
This is the harbinger of the paradigm into which COVID-19 vaccines fell into.
Product safety, product in America and in most places,
there are two ways you assure product safety.
You invited a lawyer, so you're going to get a lawyer answer.
Just not my doing.
There are two ways you assure product safety in this country.
The first way you assure product safety,
is, and this is the most critical way, the most important way, is market forces. Products are made
by companies. Companies exist, and I'm no economist, but I believe they exist to make money,
because they want to make money for their shareholders. And so the most effective way to assure
a company doesn't make a product that injures people is to make sure that if they injure people,
they know they're going to have to pay, because that hurts the bottom line.
But what happens when you tell a company, hey, don't worry, you can sell your product,
no matter what injury it causes, you don't have to pay.
It creates an incredible moral hazard.
There's virtually no product in America where you cannot sue the manufacturer for the injuries
that that product causes.
The main exception, pretty much the only exception that has robust immunity are, is it
Is it nuclear warheads?
Let me see what's dangerous out there.
Grenades, full barrel machine guns.
Vaccines.
A product that you are told over and over
like a mantra that are safe and effective,
that are given to babies over and over again.
Vaccines have virtually complete immunity to liability.
You cannot sue a pharmaceutical.
pharmaceutical company pretty much.
Pretty much.
There are very narrow exceptions for virtually any injury
from a vaccine.
That is 37 years of unchecked market forces
on an industry that is very smart and knows how to make money.
37 years of them marketing their products.
Car manufacturers advertise their products
and once you think it's great, so do other product
manufacturers. Pharmaceutical companies do that too. They want you to think their product is great.
And the pushback, when you see something bad about a car in the news, it's usually from a lawsuit.
That's right. But you're not going to see that for vaccines in the news because you can't sue them
on class actions. The class action lawyers, the product liability attorneys have been neutered,
to put it mildly. They're nowhere to be seen when it comes to vaccines.
So you've gotten rid of the most important, the most essential way you assure product safety,
market forces, gone.
37 years without any stopgap on the product's individual companies.
The second way you assure product safety, it's a far less effective, a far less, just
far less effective way, is regulators, government.
And they can't have an impact, not as effective as the natural pushing of market forces,
of self-regulation, which is what market force has caused. But regulators have a role.
The problem is, is that the regulators here, which is the Department of Health and Human Services,
under which you have the FDA, CDC, NIH, they are hopelessly conflicted.
They're hopelessly conflicted because not only responsible for safety, they are also responsible
for promotion of vaccines. They could, and those are.
Those are diametrically opposed.
They're in utter conflict.
For example, the Department of Transportation promotes transportation in this country.
They want more airplanes.
They want more on airlines.
Well, Congress recognized if we let the Department of Transportation glabhand with industry
and promote transportation, it's hard to, like, shake hand and say, hey, get more airplanes
in the air at the same time, smack you for not having safety planes.
So Congress said, oh, well, we should create a completely separate agency, the National
Transportation Safety Board.
Separate from the Department of Transportation.
One promotes transportation, one assures safety.
Same thing, for example, with nuclear power plants.
The Department of Energy promotes creation
of new nuclear power plants in this country.
The nuclear regulatory authority, completely separate
independent, is responsible for the safety of nuclear
power plants.
Again, it's hard to go in and say, hey, build that nuclear
power plant and shake hands and push industry and work
hand in hand with them, and then slap
them at the same time. It doesn't work out so well. My nine-year-old can do that to me really well,
but it doesn't work out very well in the regulatory environment. But when it comes to vaccines,
they're not separate. They both exist in the Department of Health and Human Services,
and the promotion function has totally overtaken the safety function. Not immediately,
not in a day, but it's been going on for 37 years.
I'll also point out that not only are the health authorities responsible for safety,
they are also responsible for literally defending against any claim of vaccine injury.
For all vaccines other than COVID vaccine in something called the National Childhood Vaccine
Injury Program, the Vaccinejury Compensation Program, excuse me,
and for COVID vaccines currently in the CICP, where where do you bring the claim?
Health authorities.
The fact that they've become hopelessly conflicted,
fact that these health authorities literally view that their mission is basically completely aligned
with the pharma companies, you don't need to take my word for it.
Next slide, please.
This is a report from Congress from 2000 in which the conflicts, the majority staff report from
the Committee on Government Reform, United States House of Representatives.
And they went and they looked at the FDA and CDC vaccine committees, ASIP and Verbach, you're
all familiar, many of you are probably familiar with those committees that this.
point and here's what they found quote the overwhelming majority of
members both voting members of consultants have substantial ties to the
pharmaceutical industry end quote that's Congress saying that you think that
after this is a scathing report the CDC and FDA would feel the need to clean
up their act and maybe uncoupled themselves from the pharmaceutical industry
next tap please here's another report from 2009 from the HHS inspector general
finding, again, pervasive conflicts of interest
within our federal health authorities.
So there it is.
37 years you have had this paradigm developing
in this country around vaccines
in which pharmaceutical companies
have been unchecked in terms of market forces
and have been unchecked by regulatory health authorities.
That is the paradigm in which COVID-19 vaccines
fell into. And it's critical to understand that, to understand what has happened with COVID-19
vaccines. Didn't happen overnight. Happened over a long period of time. And during those 37 years,
pharmaceutical industry has a few billion dollar a year kitty to protect their profits, their products.
And they do it, and they do it very, very well. They've got 1,400 lobbyists in Congress. I'm aware of no
at least formal vaccine safety lobbyists in Congress.
Maybe React 19 will have the first one.
And so they're continuously, they're able to lobby,
to pass laws, continue to protect their profits.
They spend money endlessly in medical organizations,
medical journals.
Their money flows through virtually every inch
of the medical establishment to the point where
Pretty much everybody in the medical community for the most part, with very brave, notable exceptions,
many of those doctors in this room tonight, will repeat and parrot the mantra safe and effective,
safe and effective, safe and effective.
There are people who've heard that so much they think it's from God.
I'm sure.
Next slide, please.
Dr. Angel was the editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine.
these are her words.
She's currently at the
Center for Bioethics
at the Harvard Medical School.
She says
it's no longer possible to believe
much of the clinical research that is published
or to rely on the judgment of trusted
physicians or authority
authoritative medical guidelines.
I take no pleasure in this conclusion
which I reached slowly and reluctantly
over my two decades as the editor
of the New England Journal of Medicine
end quote.
that is the result of decades of pharmaceutical money flowing into journals, medical organizations,
with no check, no market check, no regulatory check.
Just want to make sure I really drive home.
This is not an abstraction.
This is real.
This is real business and real money.
Pharmaceutical companies are not to be laughed at or taken lightly.
they're very smart.
You give them a few billion dollars a year
that they then can use to protect the continued flow
of those billions of dollars, they're going to do that.
And they're going to keep doing that.
And we'll talk about solutions at the end.
But let me pivot now back to COVID-19 vaccines.
So that's the paradigm in which COVID-19 vaccines fell.
So when you look and you say, whoa,
how can these regulators just ignore us in these medical organizations?
How can this be?
It's because COVID-19 vaccines just fell into the same exact regulatory market framework
that all other vaccines had fell into.
From the perspective of regulators, medical organizations, and so forth,
there's no difference.
Verbeck, ASIP, business as usual.
just a little more rushed, maybe.
Here's the proof.
Anybody know of any lawsuit against Pfizer-Modernar
for an injury from one of their COVID-19 vaccines?
No, none.
30,000 people seriously injured from COVID-19 vaccines
and just React 19, not one lawsuit,
Prep Act immunity.
And if that wasn't applicable,
it would have been the same 1986 Act we looked before.
They have double immunity, frankly.
Sure.
I was asked to say a bit more about the PEP Act.
So I explained before the 1986 Act and how that provided immunity.
For the COVID-19 vaccines, there is actually another layer of immunity,
and that is something called the PEP Act.
That is when there is an emergency of some form declared by the Secretary of HHS that they believe
certain countermeasures should have even higher protection than the 86 Act provides, basically.
And what PECD Act immunity provides is actually a complete blanket immunity to the pharmaceutical companies.
In fact, under the 1986 Act, you actually could technically still sue, for example, for fraud,
just if you could get the proof and plead it.
Under PEP Act immunity, if you had proof, if you had proof, if you had proof,
You literally came to me and said, here it is.
I have a recording of all the meeting of people in Pfizer sitting together, plotting, scheming.
I could show you abject fraud under the PEP Act as written, put aside whether I think it's constitutional,
as written, the Department of Justice or the HHS regulatory authorities would have to actually first bring a case for that fraud.
before any lawyers could do that,
any other lawyers like myself, civil litigators, could do that.
That's an incredible amount of protection.
In fact, when I saw it the first time, I couldn't believe it.
I literally couldn't believe that that was in the laws.
But there it was.
It goes back to what I said earlier.
Pharmaceutical companies are not to be taken likely.
They are very smart.
They have lots of money.
They have lots of lawyers.
And no doubt, you're having to be.
That has to go off to the lawyers in the pharmacy
who's going to do that wrote that bill.
It is an incredible level of protection.
Prep Act immunity, there you go.
So Prep Act immunity, but even if Prep Act immunity didn't apply,
which eventually, presumably it will eventually go away,
the 1986 Act immunity will continue to apply
to COVID-19 vaccines.
See, there are no lawsuits for injury
because you can't sue them.
Market force is gone for COVID-19 vaccines,
just like other vaccines.
Do you think that if we could Sufaz or Moderna for COVID-19 vaccines, they'd be on the market long?
I give them a day.
How about the FDA? Are they doing their job?
COVID-19 vaccines?
No, they're not.
Next slide, please.
This is the homepage of the FDA website.
Is this look like a regulatory authority to you?
Now, aren't these the people that are supposed to evaluate whether this product is safe and effective before it's licensed?
What does that say right there?
Buy valiant vaccine boosters.
Are those licensed yet?
Oh, no.
Oh, they're not licensed.
It kind of looks like a promotional ad to me.
I don't know.
Maybe.
It's incredible.
But this is reflective of what I'm talking about.
FDA doesn't view itself as a regulator that has to assure safe and effective.
They view themselves as partner with these products.
Peter Marks, who is the head of the biologics division,
of the vaccine division, at the FDA.
In fact, can you skip ahead to, could you go to the next slide, please?
He put out these promotional videos, again,
about unlicensed products.
This is literally the person who's deciding
on whether or not, for the most part,
COVID-19 vaccines are going to get licensed.
And he has got these cutesy videos about why I should get
updated COVID-19 vaccine now, which is not even licensed, by the way. Do you think this man views
himself as truly responsible for the safety of this product? No, he sees himself, he believes,
I think. He sees himself effectively as a partner with industry to get these products out there.
I think he thinks he's doing a good thing. He thinks, I assume, that even if there are safety
issues. He's saving more people than he's hurting. So he's good. So he's doing a good thing.
I got to assume that. Assuming he doesn't truly just totally callous would be, you know,
that would be a really scary thought. So I'm going to assume that. That would be given the benefit
of the doubt, that that's what he thinks. And that's how he justifies to himself. But that's not his job.
His job is not to promote vaccines. His job is for sure they're safe and effective to the FDA standard.
and I don't get me started on my thoughts on what that standard is,
but at least to their standard,
there's no way after he has gone out, promoted this product,
told every American to get it,
there's no way he can objectively do that evaluation.
Nobody is, very few people are able to have that type of introspection
and go, hey, you know what?
That product I told all 270 million of you that went and got this COVID vaccine,
Oops.
Sorry.
I know I was doing these videos,
promoting it, telling you all together before it was even licensed,
but I kind of messed up.
Unlikely.
One last point on the FDA,
and if this doesn't drive at home,
I don't know, you know, nothing well.
I assume many of you know Maddie deGarry.
Maddie DeGarry is one of only about 1,000 in change children,
who participate in the 12 to 15-year-old clinical trial
for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine who got the shot.
She's in a wheelchair feeding tube,
and I can tell you we have now gotten the internal report
that Pfizer submitted to the FDA explaining what happened to Maddie.
When I read it, I thought, oh, they're capitulating.
You read it and you're like, okay, the vaccine does.
did it. They're all but admitting it.
And then the very
last line,
the principal investigator
paid by Pfizer,
says that
he does not, quote, can't make
this up. Feel. Feel.
That's the word. Feel.
Feel. It doesn't feel.
I don't feel like having chicken.
I don't, you know,
I don't feel like doing
a lot of things. And this guy apparently doesn't feel
the vaccine.
is related to Maddie's injuries, despite all of the medical records
and her entire chronology.
TikTok video dancing, totally fine to debilitated.
No other explanation.
Initial emergency reports reflecting that it was the vaccine,
but this guy doesn't feel it's related.
And we have the email that Peter Marks reviewing that report.
You know the guy right, oh, this guy.
Right here.
Mr. Just a Minute,
Mr. Just a Minute, who's deciding on licensing COVID-19 vaccine,
says, basically, I'll just, I'll paraphrase it.
Great.
Principal O'Descua says, I don't feel it's related.
Done.
That was it.
That is your regulatory authority in action.
It's incredible, but that's the FDA, and that's the process they did.
But that process did not start with COVID-19 vaccine.
It started over 37 years of just a regulatory agency basically unchecked and conflicted
and viewing itself as a promotional arm for these products.
Well, what about the CDC?
I think I'm, let me hurry this up a little bit.
It looks like I don't want to keep folks too long.
CDC.
Next slide, please.
Well, the CDC decided that they're going to do an analysis of theirs data.
Everybody's familiar with VERS is, the vaccine adverse events reporting system,
and they preset something called proportional reporting ratio analyses
in which they were going to use these preset formulas to see whether or not there are safety signals with the VERS data.
Well, guess what?
They set up an equation basically where if the N was greater than three, the number of cases,
and the PRR was greater than two, that's a safety signal.
Now, I'm just a lawyer, no mathematician, but I believe 73 for cerebral thrombosis is bigger than two.
And I believe, as we go down this list of very serious reactions, these numbers are far greater than two.
These numbers, this data had to be clawed out of the hands of the CDC through Freedom of Information Act requests.
They didn't just make this available to the public.
The analysis that they were going to do was available in a report,
but clearly once that analysis didn't show what they'd like,
they were not making that available to public, not without a legal fight.
But here it is.
And the CDC's response to this?
Well, actually, we're going to do something called empirical basing analysis by the FDA,
and the FDA did this empirical basing analysis, so we don't have to worry about this.
And so we said, great.
Can we see the empirical basing analysis?
analysis data what do you think they did no you can't have it and we're now in
federal court trying to get that data too and let's see what that says and I'm
I suspect they don't want to give it because it might show something similar
maybe maybe not and I I wonder what the next excuse will be that's your
very system for you that's what it showed according to the CDC's own analyses
frightening scary numbers next slide please and then there's the v-says
VSAFE is a different safety system that the CDC specifically rolled out for COVID-19 vaccines.
The whole purpose of the V-SAFE system was to assess the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
It was rolled out in December 2020 when the first COVID-19 vaccine was shipped out.
Ten million Americans signed up for V-SAFE.
10 million.
And they almost all signed up in the first five or six months after the COVID-19 rolled out.
the COVID-19 rolled out.
Who was getting the shot in the first five or six months?
Were those the people who, like, didn't want the shot?
No, these were the enthusiasts.
These are the people who signed up, and they signed up for V-safe,
just to report all kinds of stuff they wanted to participate
and then excited about the new vaccine.
For a year and a half, we fought with the CDC to get this V-safe data,
the check-the-box V-safe data,
because they were publishing study after study after study,
using this data to say COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
They over 20 studies where they rely mostly what?
You guys know V-S data and V-Safe data to say
COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
That is what they rely upon.
They say it over and over again like a mantra.
You know, if you hang out in the CDC FDA enough,
you think that's from God too.
These 20-something studies are also the basically the core.
They're the heart of the scientific literature
that the CDC relies upon.
to say COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
And in it, in all 20 reports,
when they published the V-Safe data,
they published only the first week,
the first week of people reporting
needing medical care after the COVID-19 vaccine.
We finally got that, which, by the way,
was sometimes half a percent, quarter of a percent,
one percent, depending on the demographic,
depending on the shot, the age, and so forth,
which, by the way, I don't know why that's somehow comforting,
but CDC thought it was.
But when we finally got the full data set,
it's 7.7% of folks.
When you look at all the weeks,
not just the first week,
7.7 of folks using V-safe reported needing medical care
after a COVID-19 vaccine.
You could see that on this chart
because on the top right,
you see there were 12 million users,
and the little red bar shows 0.8 million,
by 800,000 required medical care.
70% of those were hospitalized,
emergency room or urgent care.
Okay?
It's bad.
It's not good when product injures people,
but that's not surprising.
Drugs injure people all the time.
But what we don't expect, what we really don't expect,
is that our federal health authorities will hide
and effectively, I'll say mislead to be kind.
Mislead the public for a year and a half
about what this V-safe data showed,
The core data they were saying, they were relying upon, say, COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
They only released the week of the data, and it's not like nobody was asking.
We had two federal lawsuits, actually, to get this data, and they finally gave it to us.
7.7%.
Next slide, please.
I'll show you one last piece of this, and I'll wrap up.
When they designed V-SAFE, we actually got a copy of the version 1 of the V-safe protocol,
and you could see it's from November 19, 2020.
that's before the first vaccine was rolled out.
You know, it's really hard to prove somebody's mental state.
It's really hard to prove somebody purposely and knowingly did something.
Wrong, committed a crime, what we'd call Sienta in criminal law.
It's very difficult.
I think this provides some really damning proof
about what CDC was thinking and doing
vis-a-vis COVID-19 vaccine safety.
This is the last page of the proto-timorean vaccine safety.
that was used to design COVID the V-safe system.
And what you're going to see here at the top,
these are adverse events of special interest.
They're pre-specified medical conditions.
And when you look down this list,
you are going to see many of the serious issues
that people ended up experiencing COVID-19 vaccines.
This is before the vaccine was rolled out to the public.
This was at least a month before the first shot
COVID vaccine was authorized for public use.
It includes, look.
It includes, look, blood clotting, myracoditis, paracoditis, transverse myelitis,
seizures, stroke, transverse myelitis, serious issues.
Here's the damning thing.
Did they include these as pre-specified medical conditions of V-safe?
They did not.
They did not.
The only thing CDC included is check the box options of V-safe.
were around 10 conditions that they say
are totally normal from vaccines.
Pain in the injection site.
Not kidding, I can't make this stuff up.
The 10 conditions are the same conditions
that they say are totally normal after a vaccine.
And guess what?
They only collected it for one week after the shot.
They're exactly the conditions they tell you
are totally normal.
They were reported at the rates of 50, 60, 70%,
CDC said, great, this is actually good.
This shows reactogenicity.
Shows the vaccine's working.
Shows you're having an immune reaction.
What did they leave off that list?
everything here.
They didn't even ask about whether you had heart pain.
How about that?
How about asking just about chest pain?
How about any of the symptoms of these conditions, at least,
if you don't ask about these conditions?
To me, that was purposeful and knowingly done by the CDC.
And when you think about Cienta,
when you think about purposeful conduct intending
to produce a harmful result,
I think this shows some clear proof
that the CDC knew these vaccines could cause potentially these injuries
and chose to leave them out of the V-Safe system
because if they tracked it, then they would have a rate.
If they included a check-the-box option, for example, Myracoditis,
and 500,000 people reported it out of the 10 million,
they would know it's 5%.
That data would be really damning for them.
So instead, they left a free text feel
that you could type stuff in if you wanted to.
and they're saying that that can't be released to the public.
The other thing that the CDC ignored,
and I think this is also critical, and I won't belabor,
I'll just say it quickly,
is what went on in countries that didn't roll out the COVID-19 vaccine?
How come we're not studying Haiti?
How come we're not studying all these other countries
that have virtually no COVID-19 vaccine uptake
and have minuscule amount of deaths?
And this argument I've heard,
oh, well, they don't have great tracking,
healthcare tracking systems.
They got better tracking systems
than we have in the United States.
The United States is one of the worst
healthcare tracking systems in the world
because we don't have centralized health care.
In many of these countries, developing countries,
they have centralized health care.
They are all going into the same database.
They actually, they can tell you down
to the 9.2346% of the kids have DTP vaccine.
How do they know that?
They're tracking.
it because they got centralized health care.
This argument that, well, he doesn't have a good health care system or these other countries
is nonsense.
Many of them have very good centralized medical health care systems.
They could track it, and they are in many ways reflective of the differential between
what happened between countries that took this shot, those that did it.
I'm going to wrap up on the COVID-19 vaccine.
Then I'll talk about solutions by just pointing out one case, and this is of Dr. Gregory
I don't know if anybody who knows that name,
but he is one of the leading vaccinologists in our country.
He is the director of the Myoclinics vaccine research group.
And I think the story of what happened to Dr. Gregory Poland,
I think, is so emblematic of everything I just said.
At least I think it is.
Dr. Poland, who is hobnobbs with Paul Offit and Dr. Marks
and everybody else, when they get together, he is in there.
You know, he is literally one of the leading voices
that pushes vaccines in this country.
He suffered a vaccine injury after COVID-19 vaccine.
I'm going to read you his own words about his vaccine injury.
He suffered tinnitus, which can be a debilitating condition
where you constantly hear painful, excruciating,
ringing in your ears if it's bad enough.
He described it as this, quote,
was like someone suddenly blew a dog whistle in my ear,
and quote, quote,
has been pretty much unrelenting, end quote.
Quote, can only begin to estimate the number of times
I just want to scream because I can't get rid of the noise
or how many hours I've slept of sleep I've lost, end quote.
Quote.
And then he says, when he went public with that painful condition,
he says he can't sleep at night.
He says he went public here, and here's what he says happened when he went public.
Quote, he says, in his own words,
What has been heartbreaking about this as a seasoned physician are the emails I got from people
that this has affected their lives so badly that they have told me they are going to take their own life, end quote.
Dr. Poland goes on in his article to estimate that there may be, excuse me, there may be tens of thousands.
He estimates millions of people worldwide with this serious debilitating condition.
Excuse me.
Now, you would think, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Now I know I've been talking too much.
It's a good thing I'm not live,
because if we were live, my wife would be watching.
She'd be texting me, wrap it up.
Now, you think that since this happened to a vocal,
world-renowned, nobody could question his credentials,
pro-vaccine to the hilt.
Vaccine scientists.
Ah, at least tinnitus.
least this condition will be taken seriously, right?
Let me tell you, now let me read you a quote, how the medical organization that reported this,
what they wrote in this article, quote, ongoing research efforts to understand of COVID-19 vaccines
may be related to various auditory complaints, including hearing loss and tinnitus, end quote.
And that there are, quote, no definitive studies on the subject, end quote.
Oh, it gets better.
There are 24,000 reports of tinnitus in the CDC vaccine adverse events reporting system.
Let me read you the CDC's quote.
Quote, the data from safety monitoring are not sufficient to conclude that a causal relationship exists between vaccination and tinnitus, end quote.
How about Pfizer?
What Pfizer have to say about this?
Quote, tinnitus causes have been reviewed and no causal association to the COVID-19 vaccine has been established, end quote.
Wow.
24,000 reports to tinnitus in Vairs.
This world-leading vaccinologist is literally reporting he has the condition himself from the vaccine.
He says it's from the vaccine.
He's not saying maybe.
He says it's from the vaccine.
He's getting emails from people around the world telling him they're going to kill themselves.
They're going to end their lives because they cannot live with this condition.
What is Dr. Polina have to say in response to those statements?
right maybe he gave some pushback
let's let's read together quote
it's literally what he wrote what he said to the
in response to all of this he said quote
or at least this is what he should be more accurate
what he said in the article he said quote
temporal app temporality
right meaning these things being close in time
tinnitus and COVID-19 vaccine is not causality
end quote he goes on
to say, rather, comma, it forms a hypothesis. And then what you do is carefully collect
information to determine this potential syndrome or side effect above and beyond the background
rate before there was a COVID vaccine or a COVID, before there was COVID or a COVID vaccine.
And is the rate different in people who got the vaccine and people who didn't? End quote.
Who's going to do that study? Pfizer? Oh, wait. What, what,
Pfizer say, oh yeah, it already
it says there's no causal, it says it's already
concluded there's no causal relationship. Okay, so they're
not going to do it. How about CDC?
So industry's not going to do it.
Why? They have no market
incentive to do it. They'll never
do it. You know who might have
done it? Class action
product liability lawyers. They did Doug
and Doug and Doug and Doug.
They might have gotten there.
But Pfizer will never do it.
There's nothing in the market that I
see that will force them to do it.
or I don't see any moneyed interest out there
that is going to push forward and get that study done.
They're not cheap, they're expensive, they're time-consuming.
Somebody has to do them, and industry is not going to fund them,
and there's no moneyed interest out there to do it, as far as I'm aware.
And that leaves our regulatory authorities.
Dr. Mark's going to do it.
CDC going to do it,
agency that wouldn't even release the V-Safe data,
and I hope that brings it home.
Here it is. Here is a world leading vaccinationologist that suffered a debilitating condition himself.
And his response, the dogma is so powerful, even within his own mind, that even he says,
yeah, but temporality does improve causation. It's just a hypothesis. I guess he's a hypothesis.
He's a living hypothesis. What he is, he's a living reflection of the incredible dogma that results
when you have 37 years of unchecked,
basically corporate hegemony
pushing in one direction with no money to interest
pushing back in the other direction.
The reality is the only injuries
they're ever going to recognize
from COVID-19 vaccines are the ones
they absolutely cannot avoid admitting exist.
For example, thrombosis with thrombocytopedia.
When you have TTS, when you've got blood clotting,
but you have lower platelet counts.
Usually when you've got blood clotting,
you've got higher platelet counts.
So it's not normal.
And when they saw cases of that,
they were like, well, that's pretty hard to avoid.
They can't hide that in the background rate.
But tinnitus?
Tinnitus happens other ways, too.
They can hide that in the background rate.
Neurological issues?
Background rate.
All the other, most of the issues you see from COVID-19 vaccine,
They can hide that, so to speak, in the background rate.
I would make you a prediction that if COVID-19 vaccine were rolled out like other vaccines slowly, incrementally,
where only a very narrow cohort of people got it every single year,
such that myracoditis, paracodotitis, and the childhood population,
and young adults in particular slowly rose.
Probably never ascribe it to the COVID-19 vaccine.
It was just that they gave it to 270 million people.
And the rate amongst children, the differential is so massive they couldn't.
to avoid that one. And they couldn't avoid TTS, but man, they're going to fight like heck
to say none of the others are actually caused by COVID-19 vaccine. In fact, and I think the one story I
heard was there were a number of physicians and others who were injured by COVID vaccines,
complaining of neurological issues on a call with Dr. Marks. And he bragged about how they spot
at TTS after six cases. And they're on the phone with him telling him, we have serious debilitating
neurological issues. And he's telling them, but we don't see a signal in the FDA data. And they
respond to him. And he again brags about TTS. And he says, but there were, look at that.
We picked that up with only six cases. And they said to him, there are more than six of us on this
call telling you that we have this neurological issue, many of whom were physicians. Okay.
So, with all of that said, I'd like to leave this on a hopeful note because I am actually
very hopeful for the future.
But you have to understand the problem to fix it, and I hope I've laid out my view of what is causing
the problem.
The first solution, the minimal solution, and this brings us all the way back finally to mandates,
is that at the end of this long litany of horrors
and failures, has got to be the right to say no.
Maybe we can't change the law with,
they have 400 lobbyists or fix FDA, CDC,
but at the end of all of that, every American
needs to always have the right to say no.
Without that right, all of those things
that we just talked about, that is the very last stop
in the train of protection.
And I'm very heartened to say that I believe,
that we are moving as a country in the right direction in that regard.
You know, I've been doing vaccine litigation in that space for a long time, long before COVID.
And if you told me six, five years, four years ago, that in our class, in our lawsuit, a class action lawsuit
against United States Air Force, where we got an injunction preventing the Air Force from kicking out
over 10,000 members of the Air Force who refused a COVID-19 vaccine, if you would have, if you would have
told me that when the Department of Justice appealed that decision to the Sixth Circuit,
over 20 attorney generals in this country
would file an amicus brief, meaning a brief in support,
that they would be filing that in support of our position.
I wouldn't have believed you.
But they did.
And over 20 states in this country now
actually recognize have passed all kinds of laws
protecting people's right in various forms,
whether it be for religious treaties or otherwise,
to say no to a vaccine.
as a matter of conscious or otherwise.
As another example, we just had a lawsuit
where we got a decision in this Monday in Mississippi.
Bobby mentioned it, so I'll bring it up again.
The state of Mississippi, for 44 years,
has not had a religious exemption.
It was taken away in 1979.
I think I did that math, right?
And now, for the first time again,
parents can finally send their children
who have religious belief convictions,
where they're convicted not to vaccinate,
can send their children to school,
state of Mississippi. So I'm incredibly hopeful that we are moving the right directions in terms of
rights, and I'm really, really hope that universities, especially those who are producing so many
of the leaders of tomorrow, understand that when they mandate, when they don't persuade on the
merits, and they try to get what they want through bullying and coercion, they are teaching the
absolute wrong message to the leaders of tomorrow. Everybody in this room, I know many of the
folks here, are each fighting in many different ways. And everybody, sometimes it might feel like
you are fighting on your own, but you're not. Look around this room. Everybody in this room is
fighting in different ways. There are doctors in this room we're fighting. There are lawyers in this
room we're fighting. There are folks who worked in pharmaceutical companies who left their fighting.
And every one of them, every day, is contributing to that fight. And everybody just has to keep
doing what they're doing and I do believe that eventually not only we'll be
able to restore our rights but will also be able to break this unholy
alliance between pharmaceutical companies and the regulatory agencies for the
betterment of COVID-19 victims and everybody else in country. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Oh wow. Thanks. Thank you. Well thank you all very much for being here.
It's kind of getting towards the end of the night.
And I'll tell you a little story about Aaron, Siri.
In 2021, I had no idea what I was going to do decks with my life.
I was lost, and I couldn't work.
And I went out to Senator Ron Johnson hearing, her press conference,
and Aaron was sitting next to me.
And we all kind of told her stories, but even before I spoke and Aaron spoke,
we listen to a lot of stories of the vaccine injured, and I remember hearing Ernest Ramirez's story.
Ernest is a father down in South Texas, who his best friend was his 16-year-old son, Ernesto Jr.
And I remember I couldn't stop crying.
But to give credit to Aaron, Aaron was sitting right to my left.
I looked over, and he had just as much tears in his eyes as I.
So I will always tell you, I know Aaron understands our passion, our fight, so thank you so much, Aaron, for what you do.
So next, I want to thank you all for being here tonight.
I want to thank you for your generosity.
I'll tell you a little bit about, you know, our strategic plans.
And so I always say we have a new kind of what I say is director of strategy, and we said,
what do we want to do in the next year? She said, what do you want to do in the next five years?
And I said, well, the next year, you know, we're dead set and trying to open up our own clinic.
This will be the first clinic dedicated to the treatment of COVID vaccine injured people.
So we're partnering with some physician groups. And we hope to open this clinic sometime this year,
early in 2024, probably in the Texas area. But what a statement to say.
that our care sucks so bad, we had to do it ourselves.
So that's one thing.
The second thing is, and this goes a little bit about, I think Aaron referred to this.
When someone asked me, what was my five-year goal?
I said not to do this.
The frank matter of, we all have better things to do.
I was hoping to disappear into an early retirement and living somewhere warm and look at the ocean.
But for all of us, I think, this chose us.
We didn't, you know, we didn't choose it.
So thank you all for what you're doing.
I will hit you up a little bit for money.
So you all have been very generous.
However, if you know other people who might be interested in contributing, let us know.
We are 100% volunteer.
You can donate on our website.
There's a donate button.
also can text the word React, REACT to 50155.
But no, sincerely, we are all driven by donations.
Literally what Brianne and I do almost every day
is work on fundraising.
Why?
Because we get $0 in corporate sponsorship.
We've applied for numerous grants.
We've even applied to some people that I thought
would be on our side, kind of in the autism world.
but people told that we're too polarized,
or the environment's too polarized to donate to us.
It's been quite eye-opening.
So we appreciate your generosity to be here.
We appreciate your generosity to donate moving forward.
If you have any contacts in your networks,
we sincerely appreciate it,
because without your generosity, we wouldn't exist.
Thank you very much and have a good night.
