Covid Vaccine Concerns
Trying to navigate the crazy here.
The following are the top 5 concerns that I have with the vaccine. I’m not a health professional and I’m not a scientist. I’m a mom of teenage boys watching the world unfold into insanity as I try to voice my valid and reasonable concerns.
1- Underreported Side Effects. As explained here by a respected health professional in great detail, the process for reporting a negative medical incident that occurs in a patient within a short time frame of receiving the Covid-19 vaccine is severely broken. The process of reporting to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) is prohibitive enough that it takes a health professional ~45 minutes to complete one report. While it’s important to note that medical concerns happen all the time, and can coincidentally occur in the time frame after receiving a vaccination, the goal of the VAERS system is to report to the CDC anytime a patient has a negative medical event within a few weeks of a vaccination. What is then supposed to happen is that the CDC follows up on the serious cases and starts to collect data to understand if the events are caused by the vaccine.
It is extremely important to understand that these reports are NOT being submitted, for multiple reasons.
Hospitals are not required to ask a patient if they’ve been vaccinated for Covid-19. If the patient has been vaccinated within the healthcare system of the hospital, that will show up in his electronic medical records. If however, the patient was vaccinated at a generic vaccine provider such as CVS or Walmart, it will not show up in his chart, and the Dr. is not required to ask.
The CDC recently changed the way they report vaccination status. If a patient shows up within 14 days of having their Covid-19 shot, they are counted as UNVACCINATED.
This means that a patient arriving at a hospital with a medical issue shortly after receiving their vaccine will not be counted as vaccinated. How can the health care providers be properly reporting medical issues when their vaccination status is so unclear? It also means that the numbers of vaxxed vs unvaxxed Covid patients are potentially completely skewed.
If a patient comes in with an injury that warrants concern, and it’s clear he was recently vaccinated, the health care provider has to be available and willing to spend 45 minutes submitting the report to VAERS, very often up against a wall of extreme caution at the workplace towards anything negative about the vaccine.
2. Potential Side Effects. There is a tsunami of stories, anger and regret building up, more and more each day of people whose lives have changed after the vaccine. While it’s impossible to prove that these challenges were directly related to the vaccine, there is no visible effort to prove that they were not. Data can only be suppressed and manipulated to a point, and I believe we’re close to the point where the raw personal stories flooding the banned sections of the internet will overtake the official narrative that the vaccine is “safe and effective” based on cherry picked, manipulated, suppressed, and incomplete data.
While FB comments cannot be used as proof, a flood of commentary from real accounts adds to the story, and their injuries shouldn’t be denied. Here are 2 public posts from official FB pages that mentioned Covid or the vaccine. Both were inundated with thousands or hundreds of thousands of comments from people whose lives have changed after they got the vaccine.
1- Israeli Ministry of health. This file is the comments auto translated to English and downloaded. https://mega.nz/file/LV1mHABD#x4NhMAVuOXt288inLwD0C-r0LuX22jTJUymBss65wIg
2 - A local radio station in the US asked about unvaxxed loved ones. The responses told a very different story.
3. Lack of long term-data. The method of injection is brand new. Those of us who have a “wait and see” approach are ridiculed, because billions of people have already taken it, and are fine, right? True. But we really don’t yet know how many people have taken it and are NOT fine. It’s not possible for us to know that yet, in this tense political climate. The data is too easily manipulated. The financial and political stakes are too high. The institutions have lost swaths of credibility by lying to us over and over in the past few years. Here’s one example of a study that came out over the summer that explains how some people can have an overreaction to what the vaccine is meant to do, and cause all kinds of injuries. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.21.423721v2.full.pdf
The extent of those injuries are slowly being revealed.
4. Coercion. The unbelievable, unrecognizable social, political, and legal pressure to get vaccinated under all circumstances is frightening. The complete dismissal of extremely valid and reasonable concerns only heightens the sense that something is wrong with this picture. We’re experiencing a global loss of freedoms and control at a breathtaking pace. Declining to take a vaccine that has been out for LESS THAN A YEAR has staggering negative effects on a person’s livelihood, career and social interactions all while the vaccine itself has already proven to have dramatic decline in protection of infection and transmission, as well as a growing number of reported side effects.
The “Green Pass'' lifestyle gives complete governmental control over everyday events and activities. The government of any country that’s implementing a digital vaccine passport now has the control to turn on and off their citizens' freedoms at will. I reject this overreach of control with every fiber of my being.
5. Natural Immunity. There are millions of people who have recovered and are at extremely low risk for re-infection. Natural immunity is increasingly being proven to be more effective than artificial immunity on a broad level. It’s protective against other variants, and the immunity is longer lasting than the vaccine. The dishonest policies that require a vaccine after recovery are tantamount to medical malpractice, and truly highlights the extent of the coercion taking place. For a healthy teenage boy who’s recovered from Covid-19, the extent of the risks of the vaccine are still unknown, but it’s already higher than the non-existent risk of him suffering symptoms from a RE-infection of Covid.
The dozens of red flags have resulted in the sensible decision to hold off vaccinating our healthy children, and parents MUST be given the respect of weighing the risks and benefits for their children’s medical decisions without outside pressure.
VERY WELL WRITTEN!
