Is COVID-19 Vaccine Safe and Effective, and Should You Get It?


The world is spinning, staggering, and struggling from the Chinese coronavirus now called COVID-19 to conceal the fact that it came from China. The jury is still out whether it was manmade or natural and whether it was released accidentally or used by the Chinese Communist Party as germ warfare. As of today, there have been more than 12 million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and more than 260,000 deaths.



However, many of the deaths are suspect since gunshot deaths, heart attacks, etc., were classified as COVID-19. Hospitals are paid much more if deaths are COVID deaths. As always, follow the money. It would be helpful (and honest) if any health official speaking to the media, be required to inform the public if that official holds any relevant patents or any stock in any relevant drug or vaccine company.





It is not commonly known that 56 individual patents were discovered to be owned or shared by one or more members of committees within the Centers for Disease Control. However, I don’t think the CDC sells masks—yet.



There has been much controversy as to whether masks are useful or useless against COVID; however, a Danish study, released November 18, suggests “face masks did not significantly protect wearers from the coronavirus compared to those without masks.” The study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, may determine and terminate the mask debate.



The issue is bigger than whether a mask helps protect from COVID or not: does any entity of government have the authority to require masks? The “experts” have been all over the map about this. Moreover, the worldwide lockdowns have been one of the most contentious, challenged, combative, and caustic decisions government officials have made. The charge is made that Socialists in the U.S. government want to destroy the present system to build upon its ashes a utopian society.

Whether true or not, the lockdowns have destroyed most of America’s restaurants and almost crippled travel-related businesses. That is true globally. It seems the cure is worse than the curse by destroying society.



President Trump pushed and bribed health officials and pharmaceutical companies to accelerate efforts to develop a vaccine that would be given freely to Americans. Many billions of tax dollars were spent to accomplish that purpose. We are told that two vaccines are about ready, and both are 95% effective. Another one will be ready in January.



By the way, did you know Reformation Charlotte has a Christian gear and apparel store? Check it out at ReformedGear.com.



Let me remind you that we have been given medical assurances regarding other diseases with some massive medical failures such as the thalidomide scandal in the 1950s, the HIV-tainted blood scandal in Japan in the 1980s, the swine flu in 2009, and others. WebMD admitted the flu vaccine for the 2018–2019 season was only 29 percent effective and the vaccine for the 2014-15 flu season was only 19% effective.



But you can trust the COVID vaccine.



Only medical morons or political physicians (but then I repeat myself) would assert that any vaccine or drug is always safe for anyone.



Recently, a nurse at Neighborcare Health clinic in Seattle incorrectly administered a flu shot to a lady instead of her quarterly birth control injection, and she was permanently disabled.



I have some pertinent questions: Are these new vaccines safe? Are they effective? Are there any side effects? Do they contain mercury or formaldehyde, or aluminum, or are they made with aborted baby parts? Do I have a right to refuse vaccination if I think there may be more harm in the vaccine than in the disease? Will my government that permits mothers and physicians to kill over a million unborn babies annually, often at taxpayers’ expense, permit me to choose not to be vaccinated?



It is a confirmed fact by the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University that current vaccines “for hepatitis A, chickenpox, smallpox, measles, rubella, rabies, poliomyelitis are all made using a cell line from fetuses aborted long ago.”



So, society killed healthy, unborn babies, but the corollary is COVID victims can live because of their deaths.



The package of AstraZeneca Covid vaccine clearly admits: “MRC-5 (Medical Research Council cell strain 5),” which is “a diploid human cell culture line composed of fibroblasts, originally developed from research deriving lung tissue of a 14-week-old aborted Caucasian male fetus.” The mother was a healthy 27-year-old who aborted for psychological reasons. That usually is a cover for the fact the baby would be an inconvenience to the mother, so get rid of the baby, so mom can fit into her best party dress.



TRENDING: Beth Moore Makes Habit of Using Acronyms For Cuss Words, Rebukes Her "Self-Promoting" "Fellow Leaders"

The following vaccines contain these MRC-5 cells: “Polio vaccine (inactivated/IPV) & Oral Polio (live virus) drops; Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine/MMR (Rubella component); Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis vaccine (DTaP/TdP); Varicella (Chickenpox) vaccine & Shingles (zoster) vaccine; Hepatitis A vaccine; and Rabies vaccine.”



TRENDING: SBC's LifeWay Hosting a Charismatic Tongue-Speaking Faith-Healing NAR Event

Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Catholic Diocese of Tyler, Texas, courageously objected to the use of aborted babies to produce vaccines. He wrote, “So sad…even with Covid-19 we are still debating the use of aborted fetal tissue for medical research…let me go on record…if a vaccine for this virus is only attainable if we use body parts of aborted children, then I will refuse the vaccine…I will not kill children to live.”



Very few Baptist pastors have taken such a courageous position.



American, Canada, and the United Kingdom are being ripped apart by the longtime controversy of vaccine safety. There are educated, honest people on both sides of this debate, as well as deep-pocket publishers, pharmaceutical companies, research universities, and medical bigots.



And a few fringe fanatics on the left and right who have more toes than teeth add controversy, color, and conflict to the discussion.



What often goes unmentioned is that the American Medical Association does not insist on mandatory vaccinations! Keep that fact in mind while reading this column. The thought of forcing any American to take a drug, or treatment, or vaccination is nothing short of tyranny, totalitarianism, and a substantial amount of thuggery.



Every American has the liberty to decide what he or she wants to do with their body as long as a pregnancy is not involved. In a day when the argument is made that a woman can decide to kill her own unborn baby, a person can decide what gender he/she/it is, whether one can decide if he or she is black or white; then a substantial argument can be made that I have a right to decide if I am to have a foreign substance shot into my body or the body of my child.



Vaccine fanatics are almost cultic toward those who are critical of vaccinations; they are almost as bad as those who believe one is irresponsible if he refuses to take chemotherapy or radiation for cancer. Admittedly, some anti-vaccine zealots are almost as forceful as their opponents; however, their passion is understandable since it is their children (or themselves) being dragged, kicking and screaming to get the shot that they think may injure or kill them.



From the beginning, everyone must admit that it can often be dangerous when anything is added to a human body. One of American’s greatest thinkers and theologians, Jonathan Edwards, died because of a smallpox vaccination. Plus, there have been many deaths following a flu shot, and others have been paralyzed. No one but a fool or fanatic will allege that vaccinations are always safe.



Peter Doshi is a postdoctoral fellow from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who was critical of flu shots in his first paragraph of “Influenza: marketing vaccine by marketing disease” published in the British Medical Journal. He wrote, “Closer examination of influenza vaccine policies shows that although proponents employ the rhetoric of science, the studies underlying the policy are often of low quality, and do not substantiate officials’ claims. The vaccine might be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and the threat of influenza appears overstated.”



Doshi closed his article with, “It’s no wonder so many people feel that “flu shots” don’t work: for most flus, they can’t.”



Even if the new vaccines are successful, the virus is mutating and could even become more lethal, making the much-vaunted vaccines totally unreliable or even deadly. We have been told that there were no major side effects from the top three vaccine makers, though no person on earth can guarantee no long-term side effects. No one.



However, the Observer reported in late October, “In the U.S., there are four companies that are in the final stage of testing their COVID-19 vaccines: Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson. All of them have reported side effects in trial participants after giving the shots.”



The AMA’s Code of Ethics states, “Physicians should sensitively and respectfully disclose all relevant medical information to patients.” However, that is not being observed by some health personnel today. I know of patients who have been berated, bullied, and booted from a physician’s office for asking questions about a vaccine’s ingredients and side effects. Of course, patients should leave such a doctor’s office without paying and warn others of his arrogant ignorance and belligerency.



Other medical dummies (M.D.s) have even threatened to report challenging parents to the authorities for refusal to vaccinate a child while some children have been removed from their homes because of an ignorant, immature, and insensitive physician.



I am against using any vaccine on recently ill children or multiple vaccines on small children. Nor should any vaccine be used that contains aborted baby cells, formaldehyde, mercury, or aluminum. Producing vaccines is like making sausage; you don’t want to watch them dump numerous dangerous ingredients together.



The AstraZeneca vaccine is “one of the most closely watched COVID-19 vaccines” and is expected to be available in January. The notice on the packaging of the AstraZeneca Vaccine warns, “The MHRA Urgently seeks an Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Software tool to process the EXPECTED HIGH VOLUME of Covid 19 Vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs) and insure that no details from the ADRs’ reaction tests are missed.” (Emphasis in the original.)



I assume you took note of the EXPECTED HIGH VOLUME of adverse drug reactions.



Most Americans don’t know that if a vaccine kills or injures a person for life, they have no way to hold the maker or health provider responsible. Vaccine makers have federal immunity from prosecution! Wonder why they need federal protection if the vaccines are safe and effective.



To be effective, the Pfizer vaccine must be kept at minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit to remain useable. What happens if a careless health worker inoculates a patient using a sample that has lost its cool? At what temperature does it become ineffective or dangerous? According to the Daily Mail, the vaccine “has no serious side effects,” but no expert knows what happens if a non-frozen dose is given.



Natural News reported, “A new paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) attempts to make the case that people who refuse a future vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) should no longer be allowed to work and make a living….” Or even travel to see your grandkids. It is strange that a health magazine is now doing politics.



In a BBC article Will Travel Be Safer By 2022?, travelers are told what to expect when they travel in the age of COVID. Namely, that they will need to present their vaccination record via a “digital tattoo.” When they arrive at their destination, they “would present the customs officers with an entrance visa and a vaccination record. That could be a paper card – or a tiny tattoo on their arm, invisible to the naked eye but readable by an infrared scanner.”



If you take the vaccine to protect your life, you will be setting a precedent to take a little mark on your hand to buy, sell, work, travel, use insurance, etc.



Especially etc.

I don't take ANY vaccines, and certainly wouldn't take this one.  If you live in an area (like a blue state) where they're really pushing it, just say this when confronted by people who want to know why you won't take the vaccine:

"This vaccine was rushed into production and hasn't been tested for it's long term effects. I don't feel comfortable taking it until we know more about it's safety risks both for now and further down the road."


It's logic that no one can argue with.  Personally, I believe we're out of here very, very soon - I'm not setting a date or anything, but I think it's pretty clear that this is conditioning for, and a precursor to, the Mark of the Beast.  Add that to everything else going on, and well...  See you all soon!

Will the COVID-19 Vaccine Have Side Effects? Here’s What Doctors Know so Far

The first doses of the coronavirus vaccine could be distributed to healthcare workers in just two weeks.





By Korin Miller

Dec 3, 2020


Development of the COVID-19 vaccine is ongoing. Currently, two major vaccines pending approval by the FDA have been tested in more than 73,000 people in stage 3 clinical trials. While there are minor reported side effects, a vaccine wouldn’t be approved by public health experts unless they felt confident it’s as safe as possible. While there are still some unknowns, the COVID-19 vaccine will in no way give you COVID-19.



Once a distant dream, the coronavirus vaccine is now a soon-to-be reality. In fact, the first doses could be distributed within two weeks, the nation’s governors were told during a conference call with the White House Coronavirus Task Force on Nov. 30.



Pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Moderna have both submitted applications for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their respective vaccine candidates, both of which are reported to be more than 90% effective at preventing COVID-19 in participants in stage three clinical trials. Pfizer has included 43,538 people in its study, while Moderna has reported more than 30,000 participants.



The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices also held an emergency meeting on Dec. 1, and officially confirmed that healthcare workers and elderly residents of long-term care facilities will be the first to receive the vaccine once one is authorized.



While things are moving quickly, experts predict that most people won’t have access to the vaccine, both of which will require two doses, until the late spring. Still, it’s only natural to have questions about how the vaccine works, what kind of potential side effects it could cause, and why it’s so important to get one. Here’s everything we know so far.



What’s in the COVID-19 vaccine, and how does it work?

Pending EUAs from the FDA, there will hopefully be two different vaccines available for COVID-19 by the end of the year. They both contain similar ingredients, just packaged differently, says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.

When *You* Can Expect to Get the Vaccine



10 Vaccine Facts Everyone Should Know

Both vaccines use messenger RNA (mRNA), a new type of vaccine that encodes a part of the spike protein gene in SARs-CoV-2, a.k.a. novel coronavirus. This is the part of the virus responsible for its unique crown-like structure. The vaccine does not inject inactive virus into your body, but rather uses pieces of genetic material from SARs-CoV-2.



Here’s how it works: mRNA gives your cells instructions to develop a protein that is similar to the novel coronavirus’ spike protein, according to the CDC. When your immune system recognizes that new protein as a foreign invader, it mounts an immune response to fight off what it interprets as an infection, and you develop antibodies specific to SARs-CoV-2. Your body eliminates the protein and the mRNA, but those antibodies stick around to help protect your from future COVID-19 infection. (It’s important to note that mRNA does not alter your DNA, per the CDC.)



The two vaccines developed are the first of their kind. “There have never been mRNA vaccines before,” Dr. Adalja says.



Of course, there are other components as well. “A vaccine has got to have materials in it to make sure that it is stable and can really function,” says William Schaffner, M.D., an infectious disease specialist and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. “No vaccine is just purely the antigen.” (An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies to it.)



The actual ingredients in both vaccines haven’t been released yet, but likely will be once they are approved, Dr. Adalja says. However, many vaccines contain ingredients like preservatives (to prevent contamination), adjuvants like aluminum salts (to help boost the body’s response to the vaccine), and stabilizers like sugar or gelatin (to keep the vaccine effective after it’s manufactured), per the CDC.



How does the COVID-19 vaccine differ from the flu shot?

The COVID-19 vaccine works completely differently than the yearly flu vaccine. “The flu shot gives you an inactivated virus,” Dr. Adalja explains. From there, the vaccine causes antibodies to develop in your body about two weeks after you get the shot, per the CDC. Those antibodies then help protect you against infection with the strains of the flu that are used to make the vaccine for that season.



The coronavirus vaccine, on the other hand, “gives you a snippet of a gene,” not an inactive virus, Dr. Adalja says.



You also need to get two shots of the current coronavirus vaccines—typically three to four weeks apart—while the flu vaccine is just one shot a year, Dr. Schaffner says. It’s unclear at this point if people will need the COVID-19 vaccine each year, he says. There are single-dose vaccines in the works as well, including one from Johnson & Johnson, which recently reached phase 3 of it clinical trial.



What are the potential side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine?

Details on the vaccines and their safety data haven’t been presented to the general public yet, but they will be once they receive EUAs from the FDA—and before you would be given your first dose, Dr. Schaffner says. Since healthcare workers will be offered the vaccine first, your primary care physician can offer information to you based on personal experience, as well as data.



“So far, what we’ve seen in the animal data and data from phases 1, 2, and 3 [human] trials shows a favorable safety profile,” Dr. Adalja says.



Each vaccine is slightly different but, in general, experts say you may experience the following side effects with either COVID-19 vaccine:



Sore arm at the injection site

Fever

Fatigue

Headache

Joint pain

Muscle aches


“This is similar to what you’d expect with the flu vaccine,” says Thomas Russo, M.D., professor and chief of infectious disease at the University at Buffalo in New York. “[The side effects] usually only last a day or so. They’re not serious or concerning.” For example, the flu shot can also cause arm soreness, swelling at the injection site, a low-grade fever, and other side effects as the body starts to mount an immune response.



However, because the COVID-19 vaccines are so new, long-term side effects are not yet fully understood. Dr. Russo notes that vaccine makers, as well as the FDA, will continue to gather detailed data after a vaccine is released to the general public.



How common are the potential side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine?

Moderna shared in mid-November that the following side effects were the most common among patients in its trial:

(Notice they haven't shared that some people have DIED!) 


Fatigue (9.7%)

Muscle aches (8.9%)

Joint pain (5.2%)

Headache (4.5%)

Pain (4.1%)

Injection site pain (2.7%)

Redness at the injection site (2%)


Pfizer shared that the following side effects happened in some patients:



Fatigue (3.8%)

Headache (2%)


Just like the flu shot can’t give you the flu, the COVID-19 vaccine will not give you COVID-19. These side effects “basically show that the immune system is being primed,” says Richard Watkins, M.D., an infectious disease and professor of internal medicine at the Northeast Ohio Medical University. Remember, your body is learning to mount a response to SARs-CoV-2, which can lead to symptoms like a fever.



It’s also important to note that the second shot may cause more side effects than the first shot. “We want to let everyone know that so they’re not disappointed or worried that they have COVID-19,” Dr. Schaffner says.



And now for the propaganda!  

Why is it so important to get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Getting the vaccine has several benefits, Dr. Adalja says. The big one? We can safely establish herd immunity, so the population at large can be protected from the virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached. It’s a tall order, as experts estimate that roughly 70% of people in the U.S. (200 million) need to be vaccinated to reach this level of protection for COVID-19 specifically. This is especially important for vulnerable, high-risk groups, like the elderly and immunocompromised.



Experts also say getting vaccinated will help protect you personally from contracting COVID-19 or from having severe complications of the virus if you do happen to contract it.



When the vaccine is available to you, it’s crucial that you get it.  (BUL!) “At this point, one in 200 people who get COVID die,” Dr. Watkins says. “The benefit greatly outweighs the risks.”

I agree with the comment someone made on this: 

We are literally at a crossroad: you can either close your eyes, follow the herd like a good little sheep going to slaughter and pretend not to see what’s happening OR you can wake up and see how Big Pharma has bad intentions. If at this point you choose not to see what’s happening and literally go an get the Covid vaccine when thousands of doctors and CNN are warning you that there is a good possibility you may get injured or die with the writing on the wall right in front of you,  then don't ecpect people to feel forry for you when you suffer whatever consequences that may occur to you after your vaccine.

First Glitches Emerge In COVID-Vax Rollout; Alaska Health Worker Suffers 'Serious Allergic Reaction'

BY TYLER DURDEN

WEDNESDAY, DEC 16, 2020 - 14:34

A healthcare worker in Alaska was hospitalized on Tuesday with a 'serious allergic reaction' after receiving Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, according to the New York Times.




The person, who had no known drug allergies, was still in the hospital on Wednesday morning under observation, according to the report. It is unknown whether they suffer from any other types of allergies. The Alaska resident's reaction was reportedly similar to anaphylactic reactions two heal workers in Britain experience after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine last week - both of whom have recovered. Of note, they both had a history of severe allergies. One, a 49-year-old woman, is allergic to eggs (which Pfizer says are not in their vaccine). The other, a 40-year-old woman is allergic to several different medications. Both routinely carry EpiPenn-like devices in case of reactions.



After the workers in Britain fell ill, authorities there initially warned against giving the vaccines to anyone with a history of severe allergic reactions. They later clarified their concerns, changing the wording from “severe allergic reactions” to specify that the vaccine should not be given to anyone who has ever had an anaphylactic reaction to a food, medicine or vaccine. That type of reaction to a vaccine is “very rare,” they said. -NYT



No serious adverse effects were reported during Pfizer's US trial involving over 40,000 participants, aside from aches, fevers and other 'minor' side effects.



Headaches all around



As Bloomberg notes, the first hiccups in the distribution of Pfizer's vaccine are just beginning - including a holdup on the delivery of 3,900 shots to two states, and the announcement that roughly 900,000 fewer doses would be delivered next week than were shipped this week.



Four delivery trays of the Pfizer-BioNTech SE vaccine were pulled back from delivery to California and Alabama this week and sent back to the company because they were colder than anticipated, according to Gustave Perna, the army general who serves as Operation Warp Speed’s chief operations officer.



Each of the trays can likely be used to vaccinate 975 people. Pfizer has said its formula needs to be stored at 70 degrees below zero Celsius, the equivalent of negative 94 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. These trays were found to be much colder, according to Perna. -Bloomberg



"We were taking no chances," said Perna during a Wednesday news briefing.



The Pfizer doses are shipped in temperature-controlled containers developed by company engineers, each of which are equipped with GPS tracking "for continuous, real-time location and temperature monitoring," per the company.



Meanwhile, roughly 2 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine will ship next week in the US, which is 900K less than the 2.9 million doses available this week. Health and Human Services secretary Alex Azar acknowledge the production hiccups, saying "As you know, they ended up coming short by half of what they thought they’d be able to produce and what they’d announced they’d be able to produce" in 2020.



"They’re right now producing at their maximum capacity to deliver on the 100 million that is in the first tranche of the contract with us, and we’re providing manufacturing support," Azar added.



And on Tuesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said that shipments of hundreds of thousands of doses were held up due to "a production issue with Pfizer."



The company pushed back, with spokeswoman Amy Rose saying that the company "has not had any production issues with our COVID-19 vaccine, and no shipments containing the vaccine are on hold or delayed," adding "We are continuing to dispatch our orders to the locations specified by the U.S. government."

ER nurse tests positive for COVID-19 eight days after receiving vaccine



Health experts are weighing in after a local nurse tested positive for COVID-19 more than a week after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.



ER nurse tests positive for COVID-19 eight days after receiving vaccine

By: Michael ChenPosted at 4:03 PM, Dec 28, 2020 and last updated 12:12 AM, Dec 29, 2020

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Health experts are weighing in after a local nurse tested positive for COVID-19 more than a week after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.



In a Facebook message posted on December 18, Matthew W., an ER nurse at at two different local hospitals, talked about receiving the Pfizer vaccine that day. He told ABC 10News his arm was sore for a day but he suffered no other side effects.



Six days later on Christmas Eve -- after working a shift in the COVID-19 unit -- he became sick. He got the chills and later came down with muscle aches and fatigue.



The day after Christmas, he went to a drive-up hospital testing site and tested positive for COVID-19.



"It's not unexpected at all. If you work through the numbers, this is exactly what we’d expect to happen if someone was exposed," said Dr. Christian Ramers, an infectious disease specialist with Family Health Centers of San Diego. He serves on the clinical advisory panel for the county’s vaccine rollout.
