There are some important COVID crisis issues being mischaracterized or suppressed by most mainstream media outlets. As for now, we live in a democratic society, which implies that the people of this country should be allowed free speech and the freedom to decide what medical interventions they choose to participate in.
The sad truth is that we now live in a world of corporate-sponsored narratives. We hear, see, and consume what those paying the bills decide we should hear, see, or consume.
Mainstream media has long been controlled by board members who sit at the top of some of the most powerful corporations in the world. Corporations that spend billions of dollars each year convincing you that you need what they sell.
When the moral compass points only toward the bottom line, it isn’t hard to see that getting unbias reporting from corporate-sponsored media outlets is near impossible.
In that light, here are just a few of the facts that are being inaccurately reported or intentionally ignored by the news outlets you may be relying on for your information.
First and formost: it’s hard to believe that there are people who still don’t fully understand this virus and the disease it causes, so let’s clear up the first important issue.
- What is Covid-19
COVID-19 is the illness caused by the latest coronavirus, SARS CoV-2. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease, obesity, or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
- What is SARS CoV-2
SARS CoV-2 is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. It is a virus that causes respiratory illness in humans. The illness SARS CoV-2 causes is called COVID-19.
- Viable and readily available treatments for COVID have been withheld so that the vaccines could get Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
Experimental vaccines are granted EUA status only in the absence of viable treatments. This from the Pfizer vaccine information fact sheet: “…An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical products, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic… The FDA may issue an EUA when certain criteria are met, which includes that there are no adequate, approved, available alternatives….”
The only way experimental vaccines could have been granted this status was in the absence of treatments. This led to the media-endorsed narrative that no early treatments were available, and sadly, people have died because of the relentless reporting of this fallacy by the media to the public.
- The vaccines are safe and effective
We are now approaching the point when injuries and deaths from COVID vaccines may likely surpass those from the virus. The latest data from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) released Friday by the CDC shows a total of 752,803 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 15,937 deaths and 105,758 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020, and Sept. 24, 2021. These are reported cases. It is estimated that only about 1% of adverse reactions, injuries, or deaths due to vaccines are reported to the voluntary VAERS through the CDC. Yet the media maintains a blackout on this topic. Curiously, the 1976 swine flu vaccination campaign was immediately shut down after an estimated 50 people died.
- The COVID vaccine does not prevent transmission
The vaccine has been shown to prevent COVID-19. As mentioned above, COVID-19 is the illness or set of symptoms that sometimes results from being infected with SARS CoV-2. Just like the flu shot, the injection is designed to lessen the symptoms of the illness. It DOES NOT prevent you from being infected with SARS CoV2. The COVID shot does not prevent transmission of SARS CoV2. As stated in the documentation upon which the FDA granted EUA status to the vaccines, and as the CDC recently acknowledged to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, COVID vaccines do not stop transmission of the virus, one of the primary goals of any vaccine. Shaming the unvaccinated for new COVID cases is baseless and divisive.
- COVID vaccines are not helping society reach herd immunity.
It is becoming more and more apparent that the vaccinated are spreading the virus just as easily as the unvaccinated. Herd immunity occurs when enough people acquire immunity to an infectious disease such that it can no longer spread widely in the community. Immunity developed through previous infection is the way it’s worked since humans have been on earth. Your immune system isn’t designed to get vaccines; it’s designed to work in response to exposure to an infectious agent. The World Health Organization (WHO) definition of herd immunity long reflected this, but in Oct. 2020 it quietly revised this concept and totally removed natural infection from the equation. And while the vaccinated are still getting COVID, they will become sentenced to a lifetime of booster shots with the potential for more injuries and deaths like those being reported to VAERS. Yet the media perpetuates the falsehood that more boosters are the way out of the epidemic. The studies coming out of Isreal are showing natural immunity from prior infection to be more robust and long-term protection against future infection, and we know that infections are an important process for strengthening immune function and versatility in adaptation toward future variants.
- Children are at extremely low risk of death or hospitalization from COVID and there is no justification for recommending the vaccine to children.
The COVID survival rate across all age groups is 98.23%. In children, it’s even higher, at 99.985%. These statistics call into question the need for widespread COVID vaccination of any age group, but especially children, who are at such minimal risk from COVID.
I encourage you to read Dr. Joseph Mercola and Ronnie Cummins newly released book, The Truth About COVID-19 – Exposing The Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal.
I have known Joseph Mercola all of my career and consider him a mentor. The Pharmedia long ago banned Dr. Mercola from the airwaves and newsprint while turning Wikipedia – which functions as Big Pharma’s newsletter and propaganda vehicle – into a mill for defamations against him and every other integrative and functional health physician. At COVID’s outset, the social media robber barons – all with their own financial entanglements with Big Pharma – joined the campaign to silence Dr. Merola by kicking him off of their platforms. It is an assault on democracy when citizens can no longer conduct civil, informed debates about critical policies that impact the vitality of our economy, public health, personal freedoms, and constitutional rights. Censorship is violence and fuels polarization and extremism.
Dr. Mercola has long argued that good health does not come from a pill or injection but from building strong immune systems, proper nutrition, and exercise. And while I don’t always agree with everything this book presents, I do believe you will find it enlightening.
