In the novel Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand wrote; “contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong”.

Since the start of the ‘COVID’ saga, we have encountered many such contradictions, that have left us having to periodically do just that. To take one relevant example; we’ve been told that ‘COVID’ is ‘just the flu’, but also that 5G is being beamed down on us, and is the cause of the surge in deaths that occurred in 2020.

With regards to the ‘vaccines’, the fundamental premise that runs through what could loosely be referred to as the ‘truth movement’, is that they are a ‘bioweapon’, deployed by world governments, operating on behalf of the global ‘elite’ as part of a depopulation / population control agenda. We’ve been told by various figureheads within this ‘movement’ that these ‘vaccines’ are a novel form of ‘gene therapy’, and that those who take them will somehow have their DNA altered. Simultaneously, we’ve been told they contain self-assembling ‘nanobots’ that can interface with the aforementioned 5G masts, graphene oxide, and some ‘HIV’ for good measure. And come winter (2021), many who had taken it were going to die, when they ‘re-encountered the virus in the wild’ – whilst those who chose not to have it would be taken to FEMA camps. To date, neither of these predictions appears to have come true.

It is unclear why something this sophisticated and expensive would need to be developed to reduce the world population. There are far simpler, and more discrete methods available. Engineering conflicts between nations for instance, as it would appear has been going on for some time (see World War I & II, and what Antony Sutton has to say on the matter – Little Finger in Game of Thrones also comes to mind). ‘They’ don’t need to invent a graphene oxide containing ‘gene therapy’ serum, or synthesise Cobra venom to dispatch people – a readily available substance – like arsenic for instance – easy to disseminate, and difficult to track – will do the trick.

This narrative, combined with the relentless propaganda, bullying and coercion we’ve seen coming, mainly from media figures and other ‘personalities’ – has led many to view the vaccine not just with suspicion, but as the obvious cause of any death, or ‘disease outbreak’ that followed the rollout.

Before we go any further, let’s just make the following clear, lest I or Caroline be accused of being ‘shills’ (the ‘truth movements’ version of ‘racist’) – neither of us have had it, or intend on having it. Nor do we ‘promote’ it. We are of the view that everyone should be free to make this decision for themselves. But we do need to diagnose the problem carefully and properly. Failing to do so will have us chasing our tails for years to come, and this is not a new problem. As discussed at the end of the SMON article, the claim that this ‘disease’ was caused by a drug – clioquinol – does not appear to pass the ‘smell test’. This will be explained in more detail in an upcoming article, but for the purpose of what we’re discussing here, there is a question that so far, appears to not have been asked; why were people taking an ‘anti diarrhea’ drug – one who’s underlying mode of action is that of a chelator – in the first place? It would appear that ‘they’ threw the drug under the bus – perhaps because preventing the truth from coming out, is far more valuable to those who own and operate ‘big pharma’, than whatever profits were being made from this single compound.

There are other examples too. As we discussed in this article, it would appear that virtually every major ‘disease’ outbreak said to be caused by a novel ‘virus’, shares the same aetiology – poisoning of one form or other. But because the dominant medical paradigm has not been widely challenged, we are stuck on repeat. The result? We see skyrocketing cases of cancer, degenerative, and auto-immune ‘diseases’. And this is not necessarily because of ‘vaccines’ either. Perhaps, it’s because, as Dr Tilden so aptly put it; “the disease was not cured; for the cause (enervating habits) is continued, toxin still accumulates, and in due course of time another crisis appears”. Vaccines do not explain for example, the seemingly never ending list of ‘mysterious disease’ outbreaks, affecting both animals and people that usually tend to cluster – like the recent case of ‘tomato flu’ – an apparently novel ‘disease’ that ‘mimics’ the various poxes. What might, however, explain this phenomenon is localised poisoning – although not necessarily overt. The use of covert poisoning as a means of holding governments to ransom, is quite a powerful tool – especially if those doing it stay out of sight, whilst ensuring suitable scapegoats are kept in full view, and distractions abound.

In the same way that we are questioning the ‘medical establishments’ dogma, so too must we question the ‘leaders’ of the ‘truth movement’, who appear – almost desperately so at times – to want us to believe that the vaccines are THE problem – and no ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’! But sometimes, it’s good to question those who ask questions.

Let’s say, for arguments sake, that the vaccines are all placebos. Saline injections, and nothing more or less. If, in 5 years time, whenever a cardiac arrest happens, we simply assume that ‘it was the jab’, then we run a very real risk of completely missing the actual cause of the problem. And the perpetrators will carry on their merry way.

We are already seeing this happen with the outbreaks of ‘shingles’, ‘monkeypox’ and perhaps most importantly, of hepatitis in children. ‘It must be the jab!’, many were quick to say (even though it was confirmed at the time, that none of the children concerned had received it – as many were too young). And if not the jab itself, then of course, it must be ‘shedding’. This is really no different to labelling every instance of apparent social injustice to be the result of ‘racism’, ‘sexism’ or ‘transphobia’. It doesn’t get us very far.

In this short series of articles, we’re going to be taking a look at the various ‘markers’ that make up the body of work that allegedly proves that the ‘vaccines’ are the problem. We will look at the following, in turn:

1.) Adverse reactions reported to VAERS and Yellow Card

2.) The seemingly entirely new phenomenon of collapsing athletes, and the figures that back these claims

3.) Comparing mortality data

4.) What the vaccines may actually be doing

This article will focus on the adverse reaction reporting systems.

VAERS

VAERS (‘Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System’) is the “nation’s early warning system that monitors the safety of vaccines after they are authorized or licensed for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration”.

As of today, 2nd of September 2022, this system shows a total of 861,240 reports for COVID 19 vaccines deployed in the US. Within those, there are 3,659,564 individual ‘events’ (conditions or symptoms). Each report will, on average, have 4.24 ‘events’ linked to it.

There are 262.64m vaccinated people in the US – 78% of the population (335.25m). This includes children under the age of 17, who as of 2020, account for approximately 22% of this population (72.8m). The rollout began on the 14th of December 2020.

From these figures, we can work out that 0.32% of those who received at least one dose of the vaccine subsequently developed an adverse reaction, and then reported it.

When looking at these reports, the first thing that strikes the casual observer is how a great many of these ‘events’ are incredibly ‘generic’. Many are what some would refer to as ‘detox symptoms’, or ‘the flu’. The top 20 events include; ‘headache’, ‘pyrexia’ (fever), ‘fatigue’, ‘pain’, ‘chills’, ‘dizziness’, ‘pain in extremity’, ‘nausea’, ‘COVID’, ‘dyspnoea’ (laboured breathing), myalgia (muscular pain), arthralgia (joint stiffness), a positive COVID test, ‘injection site pain’, ‘rash’, ‘pruritus’ (itchy skin), ‘asthenia’ (lack of energy), ‘vomiting’, and ‘cough’.

Furthermore, most of the terms used throughout the reporting are euphemisms, which gives the impression of many different types of reactions (what is the difference between ‘malaise’ and ‘feeling abnormal’?). We also find some incredibly vague, non-specific events listed, including ‘fall’ (8,630 events), ‘illness’ (6933), ‘feeling cold’ (7,520 events), ‘anxiety’ (8,899 events), and astonishingly ‘no adverse event’ (20,754 events).

The figures that catches most peoples’ attention however, are those of the more serious reactions, and namely those related to the cardiovascular system (‘myocarditis’ and ‘pericarditis’), and of course death. With regards to myocarditis, it is interesting to note that the leading cause of death in the US since at least 1999, is according to the CDC, ‘diseases of heart’, with a grand total of 14.2m deaths for the period 1999 - 2020. 2019 and 2020 were no exception, and it is also interesting to note that although the incidence rate was lower than the starting point for records in 1999 (725,192, with an incidence rate of 259.9 / 100,000) the figures, after going down, have been steadily rising since 2011; 596,577 (191.5 / 100,000), then going up to 659,041 in 2019 (200.8 / 100,000) and 696,962 in 2020 (211.5 / 100,000). In 2021, this figure came down slightly to 693,021.

With regards to the deaths reported to VAERS, 14,129 are included. 6,170 occurred within 0 – 30 days after the jab, but the majority 7,959, were at any point after 30 days, with 1569 marked as ‘unknown’. They occurred in the following years.

• 2020: 54

• 2021: 10,111

• 2022: 2,364

The ages of those involved are as follows:

• 0 - 17: 58

• 18 - 40: 433

• 40 - 59: 1538

• 60 - 79: 5926

• 80 and over: 4814

• Unknown: 1360

According to US Census Bureau, total deaths in the US for the last 11 years were as follows:

The CDC reports slightly different figures for 2020 and 2021:

• 2020 (provisional): 3,383,729

• 2021 (provisional): 3,464,235

It is unclear what the discrepancy is down to, and what figures are the correct ones, but one thing is clear from looking at both data sources; there was a noticeable jump between 2019 and 2020 – 18.75% according to the Census Bureau’s figures, followed by a much smaller jump in 2021 (0.82%).

Yellow Card

The UK’s VAERS equivalent is called Yellow Card. It was set up in 1964. As of the 1st of September 2022, the system totals 432,819 reports. Yellow Card data is structured differently to VAERS, and to our knowledge, detailed exports like those available on VAERS aren’t available – only summary data is.

In the UK, 45.2m people have received a first dose of the vaccine, which represents approximately 67% of the population (67.5m). The rollout began on the 8th of December 2020. This data suggests therefore, that approximately 0.95% of the vaccinated population (compared to 0.32% for the US) developed an adverse reaction and then reported it.

In the UK, according to the ONS, total deaths for the last 3 years are as follows:

• 2019: 527,234

• 2020: 614,114

• 2021: 585,899

In contrast to the US, we see here a drop of 28,215 in 2021 relative to 2020.

According to the latest Yellow Card report, total deaths reported stood at 2,240. An annual breakdown does not appear to be available.

Aren’t these events under-reported?

According to a paper published in 2019, it is estimated that 90% of adverse reactions aren’t reported to systems like VAERS and Yellow Card. This is confirmed by the UK government who state that “it is estimated that only 10% of serious reactions and between 2 and 4% of non-serious reactions are reported”.

We asked people on Twitter for their thoughts on this, and the responses were overwhelmingly in favour of this statement. The sample appeared to consist almost entirely of people who hadn’t had the ‘vaccine’, and for the most part respondents stated that, although they knew plenty of people that had developed adverse reactions, none had reported them. The reasons varied; the vast majority suggested lack of awareness of the system. Some stated that the system is difficult to use, although this was contradicted by others. Interestingly, some also mentioned that the fact anyone can submit to it without verification was a ‘turn-off’.

Complacency was also mentioned, as was the inability of those affected to ‘connect the dots’. Those who did know people, seemed to know a lot of them – some said as many as 20.

How accurate these figures are is open to speculation. If all reactions are correctly reported, we would in theory, expect approximately 22,400 deaths to be reported in the UK (for the whole period), and 101,110 in the US for 2021. But here’s the problem; in the UK, deaths went down by 28,215 relative to the previous year. Extrapolating further, if between 2 – 4% of non-serious reactions are reported, then in the UK, the total number of reports should be between 10.7m and 21.6m – which works out as roughly a quarter or half of the vaccinated population (45.2m).

Given current reporting rates, only 1 in 50 or 1 in 25 will report – and if the actual incidence rate is 1 in 4 or 1 in 2, then one would need to know at least 200 or 100 people respectively for every person they know to have a.) suffered an adverse reaction, and then b.) reported it.

According to our latest poll, most believe the rate of underreporting is in fact less than 1%. Assuming it is 0.5%, this would mean we would need to multiply the 432,819 figure by 200 to get the actuals – 86.5m – which is more people than there are vaccinated in the UK, or indeed that even live in the UK (these figures assume that every report is submitted by a distinct individual).

Can the reporting be trusted?

For the most part, it would appear that it is the people who, in theory, would never have to use such a system that are most aware of it, and most emphatically advocate for its use.

Which leads to an interesting question; who, then, is submitting these reports?

Having looked at both systems, it’s remarkable to see just how easy it is to file one. The majority of the fields are optional, and the report can essentially be submitted anonymously. You can see this for yourself here and here.

Screenshots of the UKs’ Yellow Card reporting system

In the case of VAERS, they state the following; “anyone, including healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public, can submit reports to the system … reports may include incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, and unverified information”. A warning is also included that states that “knowingly filing a false VAERS report is a violation of Federal law (18 U.S. Code section 1001) punishable by fine and imprisonment”. In the UK however, there appears to be no such deterrent – and perhaps this is why 3x more reports were filled when compared to the US.

And the proof is really in the pudding; a couple of people mentioned on Twitter that they were able to file a report on behalf of someone else (I am not suggesting they did so fraudulently, but that it goes to show how easy it is to file something).

Both systems mention that submissions are assessed after receipt, but it is unclear how thorough this process actually is. Going back to the VAERS death figures, if you recall, the age of 1,360 people who had allegedly died post-injection was marked as ‘unknown’, suggesting that no death certificate was seen by the people processing the submission.

Which leads us to the next question; is this why the UK’s MHRA, in 2020, published a ‘Contract award notice’ for the development of an “Artificial Intelligence software tool to process the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction”?

2 years ago, when I first saw this document, I assumed – as many did – that this was because a novel ‘gene therapy’ vaccine was being deployed. And who knew what the consequences of that might be.

But in hindsight, and looking at these various data points – although there is no doubt that some reports are real and truthful – were they, in fact, expecting high volumes of fraudulent submissions, submitted for the purposes of creating the illusion that the ‘vaccines’ are THE problem? The 2020 US election comes to mind in this respect. And just a couple of weeks ago, an article was published, detailing the shutting down of a ‘huge bot farm’ in Ukraine.

Concluding remarks

It is unclear from looking at these figures, on what grounds the assertion is repeatedly made by many within the ‘truth movement’ that the ‘vaccines’ are the problem, especially given that the excess mortality that is used as the baseline predates the rollout. This narrative simply doesn’t stack up. We may see deaths shooting up in 2022, however, according to the ONSs’ provisional figures, they seem to be tracking below 2021 levels.

Many have also mentioned how they know people who now regret having taken it – not necessarily because they’ve experienced any adverse reactions, but because they’ve ‘woken up’, and now believe they’ve been injected with a ‘gene modifying’ serum that’s eventually going to kill them. As Kary Mullis mentioned in his interview with Gary Null; “just the fear of AIDS has probably killed about 1000 people, just the fear. It doesn't make you feel good to think you might be getting a fatal disease all the time and worrying about it every morning”. Perhaps the ‘leaders’ of the ‘truth movement’ should stop telling everyone who have had the jab that they’re almost definitely going to die – lest it become a self-fulfilling prophecy (it’s worth noting that Steve Kirsch, by his own admission, is vaccinated – but seems to be very much alive and kicking, even though he had his jab more than 5 months ago). And given that so many of the predictions made by the ‘leaders’ of this movement have not come to pass, it may be time, as Ayn Rand so brilliantly put it, to once more “check our premises” – one of them may be wrong.

Thank you for reading this, and in the next article, we will be looking at the phenomenon of collapsing athletes, and how the data stacks up there.
