It’s Still Not an Act of Love

It’s time for a change of seasons. But instead of going from summer to autumn, it appears that it’s time to return to COVID season.

As CNN taught us, fear stories have their season.  And the Powers That Be (PTB) seem to think it’s time to turn up the COVID.   There’s mounting talk (and in some cases action) of the return of mask mandates, social distancing, contact tracing, and, of course, a new round of shots.

As we saw in 2020, the Church is not immune from the fear-based madness of the secular world.  Back then essentially every diocese caved to shutdown orders.  They not only deprived the faithful of the Sacraments but often were purveyors of fear.  Many even enforced vaccination requirements.

The Main Thing

I wrote several articles on this topic in 2020 and 2021, including a three-part series with physician coauthors.  That series showed that the shot is an unproven gene-therapy that is not necessary because there is safe and effective early treatment (Part 1). It also explained why the shot is neither sufficiently safe nor effective (Part 2).  And, it examined the overall harms and immorality of vaccine mandates (including the diabolic link between the shot and abortion) while  answering common objections to criticisms of the shot (Part 3).

The information in those articles remains valid and relevant, even as the PTB look to steer us back to more shots and more mandates.  If you’re under the belief that masks, shots, and mandates are good things, I urge you to take a look at those articles.

The bottom line is:

• The shot is dangerous and unnecessary (especially for pregnant women and younger people).
• Early treatment and natural immunity always were and remain the best response to COVID.
• Lockdowns and masking don’t work.
• The entire COVID fiasco is, more than anything, a spiritual attack.

Some sources you can refer to for more information (including treatment if you’ve been injured by the shot):  Dr. Keith Moran, Dr. John Campbell, FLCCC Alliance, Truth for Health.

The PTB (e.g., WHO, CDC, WEF, Gates Foundation, and so on) are not aligned with Christian values.  It has been my experience that where there is strong faith in God there has been steadfast resistance to the fear-based (not science-based) tactics of the COVID crowd.  In fact, it seems that faith and COVID fear are nearly diametrically opposed.  Which says all that is needed.

In this article I revisit some of the most significant issues.

About Those Masks

In August 2020 I offered these observations about masks:

• Masks can be effective at capturing respiratory droplets but most are not effective at capturing tiny aerosols (like those that spread the COVID-19 virus).
• Droplets trapped in the mask may become aerosolized and thus converted into aerosol particles that sicken the wearer and escape through the mask and infect others.
• There is the potential for an increase in respiratory issues of mask-wearers in the years to come.
• There are the psycho-social issues, including the emotional development of small children (e.g., ordinarily babies smile at every passerby and the person smiles back!).
• Most of these masks are made in China – heaven only knows the toxic chemicals we’re taking into our physiology.

Those points go hand-in-hand with the observation that trumps them all – you can smell odors through your mask.  COVID-19 aerosols are much smaller than most odor-causing particles, so if odors get through your mask so does covid.

None of those observations are rocket-science.  All of them were known to the PTB.

And even as compelling collections of studies continue to be brought forward that show the ineffectiveness and harms of masking, mask mandates are making a return.

Masks, in short, offer no more benefit for the protection of others than simply coughing or sneezing into your forearm.  And there is a terrible price to pay for that measly benefit.

Is the Shot Safe?

In Part 2 of our 2021 series, my coauthors and I focused on data from the CDC VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System).  At that point in time there were nearly 16,000 deaths reported in VAERS for the COVID shot and tens of thousands of severe reactions (permanent disability, life-threating event, etc.).  Those numbers have more than doubled since.

The PTB malign the VAERS system (even though they created it) by claiming it is unreliable, because the entries are voluntary and do not have to be entered by medical professionals (though most are).

Independent analyses have demonstrated that the VAERS data is reliable. What’s more, it actually undercounts the number of adverse events by perhaps a factor of 10 or more.  This is because so few people know about it, or can be bothered to use it, or because doctors are afraid of retaliation for reporting negative shot outcomes.  (See Part 1 of the 2021 article series for further discussion of VAERS.)

The European database similar to VAERS (EMA-Eudra Vigilance), reported similar fatality numbers (over 40,000 fatalities as of last summer).  Again, the PTB claim that these events have not been evaluated by the regulatory authority.  As such, they say, the fatalities may not be caused specifically by the shot.

One would think the PTB would be busy as beavers investigating all these reports, especially since there may be many times more actual occurrences that go unreported.

Heart Attacks in Healthy Young People

Of particular concern is the increase in heart attacks among young people.  The PTB offer a thin gruel of propaganda that considers everything but the possibility of the shot as the cause of the increase.  Apparently they missed the significant and growing body of literature that points to the shot as the leading explanation.

From my own personal experience, I assisted a group of concerned parents who were trying to convince a local boys’ Catholic school in Arizona to retract its vaccine mandate.  They were regrettably unsuccessful.  During the following basketball season an otherwise healthy player dropped dead from a heart attack.   Coincidence, perhaps.  But a now familiar and tragic event for certain.

Other Safety Concerns

One of the most adamant claims of the vaccine mandate crowd is that it is impossible for the mRNA gene-therapy vaccines to alter human DNA.  And yet, studies continue to be released showing the possibility of the shot altering human DNA (for example, here, here and here).  One would think the PTB would also be busy beavers looking into this.

Our 2021 articles also discussed the shot’s risks to pregnant women and their babies. They also looked at the potential for stroke and other brain injury, neurological problems, and reducing the body’s ability to fight cancer.   But additional risks from the shot continue to come to light, such as retinal damage.

At the time of our 2021 articles there was virtually no information being released by the shot manufacturers.  Pfizer endeavored to keep their records concealed from the public for 75 years.  Through a Freedom of Information inquiry and litigation they are now required to release millions of documents.

What We are Learning

Only a small number of these documents have been released so far.  The information is disorganized, and some documents are heavily redacted.  It will take experts many months and years to comb through the information.

Here is just one example of what is coming to light.  By February 2021 Pfizer’s own monitoring system received reports of 1,223 fatalities and tens of thousands of serious adverse reactions.  This list of Adverse Events of Special Interest (Appendix, p30-38) would have been important for the public to know, as well as doctors recommending the vaccinating and treating those who were possibly injured by the vaccine.

Take a look at this document, compiled only a couple of months into the shot roll out, and which Pfizer wanted concealed for 75 years.  Then consider that it is one of the documents Pfizer was willing to release first – what else are they still holding back?  And then ask yourself whether you think the shot is safe.

Is the Shot Necessary?

The necessity of the vaccines is generally predicated on three claims: (1) COVID-19 is extremely lethal and caused the death of millions of people worldwide; (2) there is no effective treatment for the disease; and (3) the vaccines are necessary to stop the spread of the virus (e.g., “you get vaccinated to protect others”).

Our series of articles demonstrated that all three of these claims are false.  First, COVID-19, especially the later variants, is not particularly lethal (with a baseline survival rate of approximately 99.8%).  Second, the treatment options are safe and effective prevention and treatment options.  They reduce lethality of the disease to nearly negligible levels and would have saved many of the lives taken by the COVID fiasco.  Third, the mRNA vaccines do not prevent transmission and, in fact, promote the development of aggressive variants.

What About All Those Experts?

Isn’t the science settled?  Don’t all the real experts agree that mandates work and the shot is safe, effective, and necessary?

Well, here are some other experts.

Dr. Marcia Angell, MD, former New England Journal of Medicine editor in chief, says, “academic researchers are little more than hired hands who supply human subjects and collect data according to instructions from corporate paymasters.”

Dr. Richard Smith MD, editor of the British Medical Journal, shared just one small example, of an experiment he conducted during his time at the BMJ.  A short paper containing eight deliberate errors was sent to 300 reviewers, and they failed miserably at identifying the errors.

Dr. Richard Horton MD, editor of the Lancet, notes that, “much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.” And elsewhere, Dr. Horton comments, “Journals have devolved into information laundering operations for the pharmaceutical industry.”

Dr. John Abramson MD is on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, where he teaches health care policy. A family physician for 22 years and author of “Sickening: How Big Pharma Broke American Health Care and How We Can Repair It,” observes, “Medical journals are caught up in this (pharmaceutical industry). The journals tolerate peer reviewers not getting the data. The peer reviewers don’t get the data. The medical journal editors don’t get the data, so they don’t really know what is true. They say these articles are peer reviewed, but they don’t get the data. This goes from the New England Journal to JAMA on down. They don’t get the data.”

In short, the money-focused university research establishment, a dysfunctional peer-review process, and power-wielding bureaucrats have created a system that places ideologies and agendas ahead of science.

An Example

As a simple example, let’s return to the imminent (or at least omnipresent) Dr. Fauci and his rigid stance on masking.  Here is his response to actual science that contradicts his ideology (at the 5:30 mark), “when you talk about as an individual basis of someone protecting themselves or protecting themselves from spreading it to others, there’s no doubt that there are many studies that show that there is an advantage.”

What does “on an individual basis” even mean?  The studies show that on an individual basis, when you add up all the individuals, there’s no support for a public mask mandate.  If an individual chooses to wear a mask because of his or specific circumstances, that’s a different matter.  And what are the “many studies” – are they double-blind, randomized control studies?  Is Fauci cherry-picking observational studies to support his ideology?

There is plenty of robust science out there that shows:

• The shot is dangerous and unnecessary.
• Early treatment and natural immunity are far superior to the shot.
• Lockdowns and masking didn’t work.

But you won’t hear any of this from the PTB.

The Immorality of Lockdowns and Vaccine Mandates

Regrettably the Vatican seems to be in the thrall of the PTB.  The Vatican was among the earliest and most vehement of mandate adopters (you may recall that getting the shot is “an act of love”).

In 2022 I worked with a small group to attempt to present alternative viewpoints on the shot to the Vatican (specifically to the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development).  We provided a meticulously referenced document signed by numerous highly credentialed physicians and researchers.

For over half a year we were given a run-around.  We did all that we could to facilitate an open dialogue with experts of the Vatican’s choosing.  Ultimately, the Vatican declined to engage with our experts, stating instead that they would be hosting a COVID seminar in the Fall of 2023.

That seminar was to be hosted by a public health official who was on the record as supporting vaccine mandates.  After we formally submitted a list of experts to participate in that seminar, the Vatican decided to delay it indefinitely.

Make of that what you will.  For my part I can’t help but see a similarity between Fauci’s mask-science denial and the Vatican’s response, and the unwillingness to confront science that shows the shot, just like all the mandate madness, is far from “an act of love.”

In the first round of COVID insanity, liquor stores remained open while Churches everywhere were shuttered.  People died in hospitals and nursing homes without receiving last rights.  Even once the Sacraments resumed, people were kicked out of Mass for not wearing the all-important sacramental mask.

But there were a few brave Priests that quietly went about serving the Lord and their flocks rather than the PTB.  If you don’t know any of these priests, now’s the time to start asking around.
