at-a-glance
The U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System (VAERS) is among
the best adverse event data
collection systems in the world, but
it's antiquated and difficult to
use. Still, it's a good way to
detect safety signals that weren't
detected during premarket testing or
clinical trials
There are unmistakable,
unprecedented safety signals in
VAERS for the COVID shots. While the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
and Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention claim no deaths can be
attributed to the COVID jabs, it's
impossible to discount 8,986 deaths
in the U.S. territories alone,
reported as of November 26, 2021
The estimated underreporting factor
for COVID jab injuries in VAERS is
between 31 and 100, so the actual
death toll in the U.S. could be
anywhere from 278,500 to 898,600
There's a strong safety signal for
female reproductive issues and for
heart inflammation (myocarditis) in
young men and boys. VAERS data show
an inverse relationship between
myocarditis and age, with youths
being more frequently affected than
older men
VAERS
data are being deleted without
explanation. Each week, about 100 or
so reports are routinely deleted, so
there are now thousands of
inexplicably missing reports
Propaganda and high-tech weapons of suppression are
used in the U.S. to obscure the rise of
Technocracy-based authoritarianism.
As the world's first and largest model of
Technocracy, China is guiding the narrative every
step of the way.
Columbia University originally crystallized early
Technocracy in the 1930s, the Trilateral Commission
fed it to China in the 1970s and now it is
dominating us in the 2020s.
The only natural and effective enemy of propaganda
is free speech. Without it, the entire world would
look like the massacre of Tiananmen Square in 1989.
In short and in every sense of the word, humanity is
at war with Technocracy and its evil twin,
Transhumanism.
Until this enemy is clearly seen and identified,
there can be no effective resistance against it.
Jessica Rose,
Ph.D., a research fellow at the Institute for Pure and
Applied Knowledge in Israel, has taken a deep-dive into the
U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), and
in this interview she shares the details of what she's finding.
VAERS, despite
flaws and drawbacks, is one of the greatest tools we have to
evaluate vaccine safety. It was implemented as a consequence of
the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.
While vaccine
companies were given blanket immunity against liability for
adverse reactions under this law, VAERS was created to collect
injury reports in a centralized database so that the
post-marketing safety of childhood vaccines could be monitored.
The system was
actually launched in 1990, so we have three decades' worth of
data to compare trends against. Granted, vaccine injuries are
notoriously underreported. Investigations have found only 10%1
to as little as 1% 2,3
of injuries are reported.
When it comes
to the COVID jab specifically, calculations
4 by Steve Kirsch, executive director of the
COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund, suggest injuries are
underreported by a factor of 41.
But despite
that and other shortcomings, VAERS can still provide valuable
information about a given vaccine.
Rose is a
computational biologist with postdoc degrees in molecular
biology and biochemistry. While a native Canadian, she did her
postgraduate training in Israel, where she still lives.
When her dream
of surfing in Australia were dashed due to the COVID-19
outbreak, she decided to start writing code for statistics and
graphics, and as the pandemic wore on, she applied those
programming skills to the VAERS database.
No, People Are Not
Filing Fake Reports
A common
attempt to explain away the VAERS data by so-called fact
checkers is to say that it's unreliable because anyone can file
a report.
This is pure
hogwash...
Yes, anyone can
file a report, but there are penalties for filing a false
report, and the filing is time-consuming and exacting. We can be
quite certain there's no over-reporting going on.
It takes on
average 30 minutes to fill out a report, and the system is set
up in such a way that you cannot save anything until you get to
the very end.
Even worse,
each page will time out after an allotted period of time,
forcing you to start from the beginning if you take too long to
fill in the details.
"This
probably frustrates enough people that they don't start
again," Rose says.
Indeed, the
cumbersomeness of the website itself has often been cited as a
reason for why doctors don't report adverse events.
Doctors don't
have the time to do it, and most patients don't know they can
file on their own.
As noted by
Rose:
"[VAERS] is probably one of
the best adverse event data collection systems in the world,
but it's completely lamentable. It's antiquated...
Nonetheless... it's a way to
detect safety signals that weren't detected during premarket
testing or clinical trials.
And it is functioning that
way, because there are many, many safety signals [about the
COVID jabs] being thrown out by the data. For example,
everyone's heard of myocarditis... which is one of the
safety signals being thrown off in VAERS.
And so, we've learned that it
happens in young people, more so in boys."
One explanation
for this gender discrepancy has to do with androgens.
Testosterone
has been shown to facilitate entry of the spike protein into
cells by activating a specific enzyme.
This could help
explain why men, who have higher testosterone levels, are
getting myocarditis at much higher rates than women.
Most Lethal
'Vaccines' in Medical History
Rose continues:
"I implore everybody to do
this... [VAERS] is very accessible.
Just go to their website and
download the CSV files. You can play with it in Excel, or
use whatever is compatible with the CSV file.
The OpenVAERS system is even
easier to use.
There are three separate files
that you can download for the domestic data set, which
includes the individual's data, the symptoms or adverse
events that they reported (and it can be up to 15 different
types), and the injection data ...
You can merge them so that, as
per [each] VAERS ID, you have a lot more information...
That's what I did. All you
have to do is count the number of adverse events that have
occurred in 2021.
In the context of the COVID-19
products, exclude all the other vaccines to isolate the
signal, and compare the number of adverse events to the
total number of adverse events reported in every single year
going back 30 years.
There's absolutely zero
comparison. The average number of adverse event reports for
the past 10 years is ~39,000, and that includes the adverse
event report data for all of the vaccines combined. There
are a lot of them ...
So we're looking at about
39,000 total adverse events per year [on average for all
vaccines], as opposed to 675,942 [adverse events post COVID
jab] in the domestic dataset alone
[Editor's note: Please note
that all data are as of the day of the interview and have
not been updated prior to publication].
And this does not include the
underreporting factor...
We see the same trend when we
isolate standalone adverse events like death.
There are over 10,000 [post
COVID jab] deaths reported now in the domestic dataset
alone, not including the underreporting factor, and in the
previous 10 years, the average was 155 deaths for the entire
year for all the products combined.
This is over 6,000% increase
in reporting for deaths.
So, the question I've been
posing to the FDA, the CDC and whoever wants to listen to me
is,
'What's the cut-off
number?'
Because you kind of think of
death as being the worst outcome in terms of adverse events
in the context of a vaccine or a biological product.
I think there are worse things
than death personally. But most people think death is pretty
bad.
So that's why I always talk
about death in this context.
What's the cut-off number
here?
How many people have to
die in order for these products to be deemed unsafe?
So that's basically all you
have to do in VAERS. I mean, you can stop there.
You don't have to look at
anything else.
But there's so much more."
Can Causation Be
Established?
While the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) outrageously deny that a single death can be
attributed to the COVID jabs, it's simply impossible to discount
19,532 deaths 5
(8,986 in the U.S. territories alone) 6
reported as of November 26, 2021.
As noted by
Rose:
"It's not even statistically
plausible to say that not one death out of 10,000 was caused
[by the shot]. It's not scientific to say that...
Those people, not 100% of them,
would have died anyway? That's not how life works."
The FDA and CDC
are also ignoring standard data analyses that can shed light on
causation.
It's known as
the
Bradford Hill criteria - a set of 10 criteria that need to
be satisfied in order to show strong evidence of causal
relationship.
One of the most
important of these criteria is temporality, because one thing
has to come before the other, and the shorter the duration
between two events, the higher the likelihood of a causative
effect.
"So, when you're talking about
percentages of people who died within 24 hours of one of
these jabs, let's say you're talking 50%,"
Rose says.
"That's kind of suspicious to
me. [Yet] they completely deny the causal effect.
It's just
because of coincidence?"
There's also a
strong safety signal for female reproductive issues.
Preliminary
post-marketing data showed women who got the jab in the first 20
weeks of pregnancy had a miscarriage rate of 82%. 7,8
Pfizer's own data, which Rose analyzed, showed a miscarriage
rate of 69% when given during the first 20 weeks.
Yet no one is
warning pregnant women away from these injections: Quite the
contrary - women are being universally lied to.
How to Assess
Underreporting
As mentioned,
Kirsch has calculated an underreporting factor for post COVID
jab events of 41, which is likely quite conservative.
Rose's
calculation is even more conservative than that.
She explains:
"Steve [Kirsch] and I are good
friends. We've been working very closely on all of this
stuff for a long time. His underreporting factor is 41.
He estimated that based on a
peer-reviewed publication that estimated anaphylaxis
numbers, so he used anaphylaxis as a proxy for death.
What that means is that when
you hear us say these numbers, you have to multiply them by
41, if you want to go with Steve's estimate, or 31, in the
case of mine.
Mine is the most conservative
estimate. I took Pfizer's Phase 3 clinical trial data that
they presented to the FDA.
There were over 18,000
participants in the drug group and the placebo groups, and
there were a certain percentage of individuals in each arm
that succumbed to a severe adverse event, which includes
death, hospitalization, visit to the ER, a life threatening
adverse event, disability or birth defect.
So, 0.7% of people in the drug
arm succumbed to a severe adverse event according to their
data.
I used that rate, and
multiplied it by the number of people who had been injected
with one shot of Pfizer on a certain date, August 10, and
that number becomes your expected number of people that
would succumb to a severe adverse event based on their data.
So, you take that number and
divide it by the number of reports of severe adverse events,
and you get a multiplication factor, an underreporting
factor.
When you use that base
dataset, the Pfizer Phase 3 clinical trial data, you get 31.
Ronald Kostoff has also published a paper in Toxicology
Reports, and his estimate is 100, I believe.
So, whenever you're talking
about the underreporting factor, I think you should talk
about it in terms of a range, because each adverse event is
going to have their own [underreporting factor] ...
I think if people actually
knew the reality of what was going on, they would decide
very quickly, right now, never to go near these things.
This
isn't hearsay.
It's not conjecture.
The clinical trials are
garbage, and there's no safety data.
I'm not just saying this -
it's very reflective in all of these adverse event data
collection systems all over the world.
As an example, myocarditis and
young boys. You know, it's not something that you can
ignore. There's a reason why this is happening.
It's because the [shots] are
not safe."
What are VAERS IDs
and Why are They Missing?
VAERS IDs are
the numbers assigned to individual report entries.
Aside from
underreporting, another oddity that strongly suggests the data
are worse than we think is that VAERS IDs are going missing.
In
other words, case reports are being deleted from the system
after they've been put in.
Rose
investigated this after seeing videos saying hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of people had their reports deleted.
So, she set out
to,
either confirm or deny whether reports were going missing
each week, as data sets are updated weekly.
She's been
downloading all the data sets since January 2021, which put her
in the unique position of being able to compare the different
sets, because when the data set is updated, the old data is
overwritten.
Now, there are
valid reasons for deleting a VAERS ID.
One reason would be if
both the doctor and the patient file a report.
The two reports
then need to be combined, and the ID number of one of the
duplicated reports is erased. However, what Rose found is that
reports are indeed being deleted that shouldn't be.
She explains:
"The way I was determining if
entries, if their IDs, were disappearing was by finding out
which VAERS IDs didn't show up in the next update, because
you would assume that every single ID that got into the
system would stay in the system.
And so, the next update would
have that data set and a little more, but that's not how it
works.
There are removals every
single week, and they're not explained. There's no
explanation for these. So, the first thing I did when I
found this - and it was over 1,000 [missing IDs] - was to
check if a high proportion of these deleted reports were
deaths.
It wasn't anything overly
suspicious, something like 18%.
Then I checked severe adverse
events, then I checked children, because this is a big one
that's happening now.
A lot of babies are going
missing in VAERS, and they shouldn't be there [since the
COVID shots aren't being given to babies yet], which is
probably why they're being removed.
So, there wasn't anything
overtly suspicious about the nature of the [missing] IDs.
But that's not even the point. These are people who trusted
in these products, and listened to people who are telling
them they are safe and effective.
They were healthy. They went
out and got the shots.
Some of them suffered an
adverse event, some of them died. These reports got filed to
VAERS, and then they got removed. That's atrocious. I'm not
speculating here, either. This is what is happening.
They went through this
horrifying experience, which no human should be going
through, and then they got disappeared. I don't even know
what the word for that is.
It's appalling."
Data on Children Are
Being Deleted
Rose has also
delved into the VAERS data for children.
Disturbingly,
there are apparently thousands, likely tens of thousands of
instances if you factor in underreporting, where the jabs have
been given to children that were too young to receive the shot
at the time they got it.
At the time she
looked into this, there were approximately 5,570 reports with a
metric code indicating that the product was given to a patient
of inappropriate age.
In fact, it was
the most frequently occurring adverse event type among young
children.
"So, there were so-called
medical professionals injecting children without confirming
their age," she
says, "and then those children
suffered adverse reactions in the thousands.
And this doesn't include the
underreporting factor. Some of them died. In the 5- to-11
age group, two of them died.
One was 11, one was 13, and
the timeframe between the death and the injection in one of
the kids was five days, in the other it was one day.
So, this was in close temporal
proximity. The part that's even more disturbing than that is
that... something like 60 children had died between the ages
of zero and 18, and 38% of those children were under 2.
[The
next week] that percentage went down to 30%.
I'm like, wait now, that was
late last week. What happened to them?
There are these enormous
inconsistencies in the data. Here's another one. I have
about 100 different files that contain algorithms that run
code for specific things, like I have a kid's file, a cancer
file, a prion disease file.
So, I run them all with the
updated data.
Myocarditis is one of them.
And there was this big chunk of data for the 50- to
75-year-olds pertaining to myocarditis reports last week,
and this week, it's one-half. It's staggeringly obvious that
something's very different in the data.
The absolute number of reports
went up, but it seems to have shifted somehow.
There could be a plausible
explanation. But the fact is there's no reference at all as
to how this data is being shifted around. There's no record.
So, we as the public, have no idea what's actually going on.
All we can say with absolute
certainty is that something is going on."
Myocarditis Report
Pulled From Publication
Together with
Dr. Peter McCullough, Rose recently wrote and submitted a paper 10
on myocarditis cases in VAERS following the COVID jabs to the
journal Current Problems in Cardiology.
The data
clearly show that myocarditis is inversely correlated to age, so
the risk gets higher the younger you are.
"Most of the reporting in
VAERS was in young boys, aged 15.
There was a sixfold difference
in reporting following dose one and two, which indicates
dose response and/or causal effect.
The rate for myocarditis in
12- to 15-year-olds is 19 times above background reporting
for the United States, so there's a lot of stuff in that
paper that was really important,"
Rose says.
"There are many other papers
coming out now that are 100% supporting what we found. It's
not debatable.
They [pulled] this paper five
days before that FDA meeting for the 5- to 11-year-olds, and
I don't think that was a coincidence, because it would have
informed people as to the potential risk of myocarditis in
young people.
So, of course, they don't want
that, because they already bought 30 million doses for the
5- to 11-year-olds.
Latent Infections
Reactivated
Another common
side effect of the jabs is the reactivation of latent infections
such as herpes infections and shingles.
Rose explains:
"There are a bunch of papers
that have come out that lend some ideas as to why this is
happening," Rose
says.
"One makes the claim that CD8+
T cell populations are becoming compromised. In the acquired
branch of the immune system, you have immune cell
populations called CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells.
Everyone's heard of HIV/AIDS.
So, the idea there is that you have a virus that
preferentially infects CD4+ T cells, which are the generals
of the immune system.
They kind of coordinate all the other
cells to do their jobs. If you have a depletion in this type
of cell, then the rest of the immune system kind of
collapses, because they don't have their general telling
them what to do.
The CD8+ T cells are the
killer cells. These cells are in charge of killing virally
infected cells, so they're very important in the context of
a viral infection.
One of these studies showed
that in people post injection, the gene profiles were very
different for CD positive T cells.
If we're talking about going
beyond immune
dysregulation, if we're talking about immune
dysfunction, if we're talking about certain immune cells
being depleted, that could be a possible reason why you're
seeing a reemergence of a latent viral species, possibly.
We're also seeing cancer
resurgences.
Another paper that came out
shows that there might be problems in the realm of
double-stranded DNA repair.
There are two enzymes (BRCA
and 53BP1) that have been reported to be impaired that are
very important in repairing double stranded DNA breaks, and
if you have an impairment of essential proteins that are
meant to repair double stranded DNA breaks, you have serious
problems.
One of those problems is
proliferation of cells.
So, whenever you get a certain
type of exposure to a virus, say a cold or a flu virus, and
it gets the better of you so your acquired immune system
kicks in, you get these swollen glands. That is actual
populations of T cells proliferating.
If you have stunted
proliferative capacities, or if you have an impairment of
that process, you don't have an immune system if it happens
in T cell and B cell populations ...
So, in addition to the
hyperinflammation that the spike protein seems to be
inducing all over the body, there's this immune function
impairment.
That's really scary to me.
[It's something] we need to
investigate and absolutely another reason why these rollouts
should stop right now."
