Vaccine Hesitancy: How Should We Approach the Flu and Cold Season?

“We need honesty and transparency and not exclusivity, after all, are we not all in it together?”

This newsletter will be discussing vaccines now that more liberty is being given to talk about the side effects and the court cases for vaccine injury compensation. We do not have a lot of wiggle room while being squeezed in the corner, in a room filled with this massive elephant that no one wishes to acknowledge. Written along the lines of questioning and giving our opinion to the studies we are sharing and let the people decide what the facts are.

Discussing the topic of vaccinations, especially after COVID-19, and having a different opinion from the politics and media, one must be artful if to be successful. I am a big fan of John Cleese, I particularly like his character Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers. There was one episode titled “The Germans” that is absolutely hilarious. Basil tells his staff when the German guests arrive not to mention the war and sure enough, when they arrive, that is all Basil talks to them about. With vaccinations, everyone has an opinion; we are advised or feel threatened to reveal our vaccine position but in groups that seems to be the very thing discussed. With the fall comes the flu and cold season, and after the misinformation given during and after COVID-19 many are reluctant in trusting the health authorities since they still have not come clean.

According to a survey from Pharmacy Times 22% of individuals are worried about contracting the flu in 2023/2024 season. Results showed that similar levels were seen regarding COVID-19 at 23% and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection at 19%.[1] Perhaps, after what society has been through in the last 3 years with COVID-19, many would like to sit this season out and see what happens but who can blame them? A new report from Correlation, Research in the Public Interest, a large Canadian study states that they “quantify the overall all-ages vDFR for the 17 countries to be (0.126 ± 0.004) %, which would imply 17.0 ± 0.5 million COVID-19 vaccine deaths worldwide, from 13.50 billion injections up to 2 September 2023. This would correspond to a mass iatrogenic event that killed (0.213 ± 0.006) % of the world population (1 death per 470 living persons, in less than 3 years), and did not measurably prevent any deaths.”[2]

If you watch network television you know that the pharmaceutical industry does not want almost 80% of population not taking their jabs, and the only way to make money is to spend money. According to a report from The Defender, the pharmaceutical industry is planning to widely advertise the vaccines. The pharmaceutical trade press portrayed the ads[3] as an attempt by Pfizer and Moderna, whose COVID-19 vaccines were injected into more than 5 billion people worldwide during the pandemic, to reverse dramatic losses in their stock prices in recent weeks.[4] According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, “[w]ith hardly any Americans signing up to receive the updated COVID-19 shot, Pfizer is pulling out all the stops to increase uptake. (…) Mercola reported that Pfizer paid Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kelce an outsized $20 million to promote the drug maker’s COVID-19 shots, compared to his $5 million-per-year total endorsements from McDonald’s, Papa John’s, Walgreens, Nike and Tide, and was trying to capitalize on the football star’s recent surge in popularity as he dates pop star Taylor Swift.”[5]

The 30-second Pfizer commercial[6] features a cheery, driving tune and smiling celebrities Martha Stewart, singer-songwriter John Legend, professional soccer player and progressive activist Megan Rapinoe, singer-songwriter Charlie Puth and football star Travis Kelce. “Got it,” Stewart says, as the Pfizer ad copy reads, “This season’s updated COVID-19 shots are here,” and “Ask your healthcare provider if getting your COVID shot with your flu shot is right for you.”[7] “Got yours?” is the Pfizer tagline.

Moderna’s 60-second TV spot[8] wants its audience to “Spikevax that body.” Spikevax is the brand name of the company’s COVID-19 vaccine. It refers to the artificial spike protein the vaccine is designed to stimulate in the body to allegedly trigger protective antibodies to the virus.

In the US, drug companies can openly use their wealth to manipulate the minds of the public and that is fine but to post anything not in agreement to the vaccine agenda is fact checked and blocked on most social media sites. Does not seem very fair, does this guerilla warfare?

According to Marina Zhang, reporter for the Epoch Times, “The United States now faces its highest-ever childhood vaccine exemption rate in history, according to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report published on Nov. 10.”[9] In her report she quoted Dr. Cody Meissner, a professor of pediatrics at the Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine, Dr. Meissner “was concerned that people’s skepticism toward the current COVID-19 vaccines may have also affected their attitude toward conventional vaccines, leading to the decline in CDC-recommended and state-required vaccinations, as recently reported by the CDC. He suggested that the CDC’s initial delayed recognition of myocarditis as a COVID vaccine side effect in adolescents and young adults, coupled with the agency’s encouragement to vaccinate, as one example of what may be contributing to people’s distrust. (…) Pediatrician Dr. Mark Barrett said that the current trend is likely caused by people distrusting recommendations from the CDC, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and even their doctors.”[10]

In 2013, the National Vaccine Program Office commissioned the former Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee, now the National Academy of Medicine, to re-examine the evidence supporting safety claims for the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule. The committee found that “few studies have comprehensively assessed the association between the entire immunization schedule or variation in the overall schedule (…) and no study has directly examined health outcomes (…) the way the committee was charged to address.”[11] The committee further stated that no studies have been conducted to determine “the long-term effects of the cumulative number of vaccines or other aspects of the immunization schedule.”[12]

Maybe there is a reason to question the blanket safety of vaccines. Should we just trust everything we are being told as being fully vetted and thoroughly examined? Could there be a bioaccumulation of vaccines or from the components used to manufacture them? Have studies been released to answer these inquires? According to Peter C. Gøtzsche, Maryanne Demasi “[s]erious and severe harms of the COVID-19 vaccines have been downplayed or deliberately excluded by the study sponsors in high impact medical journals. (…) Authorities have recommended population wide COVID-19 vaccination and booster doses. They do not consider that the balance between benefits and harms becomes negative in low-risk groups such as children and people who have already recovered from COVID-19 infection.”[13]

There are many more articles like this. According to Megan Redshaw in Epoch Health, “[e]ven though Pfizer knew about the potential safety signal and was studying preterm births as an ‘adverse event of special interest,’ it continued to enroll women in its clinical trial and did not fully inform participants of the risks the vaccine may pose to their babies-and in some cases, provided misleading and contradictory statements, according to an investigation by The BMJ.”[14]

Of course, it is not just Pfizer. According to John-Michael Dumais “Moderna halted its Phase 1 trial of an mRNA vaccine to treat the Epstein-Barr virus after a single suspected case of myocarditis in an adolescent, raising questions about the heart-damaging technology used in all mRNA vaccines, according to a report by Alex Berenson. (…) Moderna did not disclose the trial halt in public filings, according to Berenson, who suggested financial motivations may be behind the lack of transparency after the company told investors this vaccine was one of several expected to generate billions of dollars.”[15]

In a democracy, we are raised to trust, believing health authorities have our very best interests in mind. We have faith and confidence that their recommendations have been tested, proved and verified. Our doctor’s advice is rarely questioned and usually followed exactly as prescribed, and health agencies such as Health Canada, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are seen as a trusted intermediary acting as a liaison between manufacturers and consumers, for the protection of the citizens. When these authorities have become compromised for financial grain, or controlled by special global interest groups, or to adhere to a political agenda, the bond of trust becomes severed and everything we were led to believe must be re-evaluated to determine what is truthful. Repairing the bridge of trust is near impossible without full disclosure and admission of guilt, till this happens everything must be evaluated with critical thinking.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil,” says 1 Timothy 6:10. If this were the case, to remove the temptation I have an idea that may work. Since free enterprise cannot be controlled when it becomes as powerful as the pharmaceutical industry, it needs to come under submission in the manner of socialized medicine. By removing the profit element concerning the healthcare of the citizens, pharmaceutical companies would have one customer, the Provincial Health Minister, since health in Canada is dictated by the provinces. Pharmaceutical sales would be permitted only to elected government health agencies who would then sell to pharmaceutical distributors. Pharmaceutical companies would be restricted from advertising directly to the public and not be permitted to lobby directly to individual politicians.

The open discussion of disease treatment must not be placed on the shelf, nor should it be reserved to one form of treatment or one group yielding the power. If we really want to eradicate disease and focus on wellbeing, we must do things differently than what we are currently doing. We must eliminate what is causing disease to spiral out of control, we must do it openly, and not confined to a specific group that promotes both the cause and also the treatment. We need honesty and transparency and not exclusivity, after all are we not all in it together?

For 90 Day Immune Restoration Under Naturopathic Care: 

Melapure® Melatonin: There is a difference. Patented, USP Pharmaceutical Grade: 30mg per day taken two hours before bed. Melapure is a powerful antioxidant and a biocompatible competitor of hydrazine in reduction of graphene oxide (GO). Melatonin is a chronobiotic, that is, an agent that can cause adjustments of the body clock. It is also cyto-or cell protective and can reverse the inflammation typically seen in neurodegenerative disorders and aging. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant that aids the detoxification of the brain through the glymphatic system (the brain’s waste disposal apparatus that works while you sleep).

Thymus Gland: 3 capsules 3 times per day taken on an empty stomach. The thymus gland produces T-cells, our body’s immune defence, and plays a significant role in the regulation of adaptive immune responses. Overall T-Cell levels are maintained by peripheral thymus-independent homeostatic mechanisms, memory T-Cells stimulated by cytokines undergo proliferation and differentiation. Boosting the immune system by incorporating thymus gland can be a therapeutic strategy for preventing virus-related diseases. Insufficiencies of the thymus gland may lead to abnormal thymic function the incorporation may be an intrinsic factor for treating severe long term COVID disease among younger individuals. Patients’ overall health may be incorporated using thymus gland in COVID-19 management.

L-Glycine (fermented), for severe Covid-19: 2 capsules taken 3 times per day with Thymus Gland. The amino acid glycine is for the biosynthesis of heme (iron), a key component of haemoglobin, essential for red blood cell integrity and optimal oxygen capacity. Glycine is the major agonist of glycine receptors (GlyR), which are chloride channels that hyperpolarize cell membranes of inflammatory cells such as macrophages and neutrophils, turning them less sensitive to proinflammatory stimuli. In addition, glycine possesses a cytoprotective effect, improves endothelial function, and diminishes platelet aggregation.

Immunity 4 in 1: (USP grade material). 2 capsules 3 times per day with food. A single ingredient is rarely as effective as when taken with supportive synergistic nutrients. “There is evidence that quercetin in combination with, vitamins C and D, may exert a synergistic antiviral action that may provide either an alternative or additional therapeutic/preventive option due to overlapping antiviral and immunomodulatory properties.” Immunity 4 in 1 contains pure vitamin C (certified non-GMO), a powerful detoxing agent against heavy metal poisoning, useful for graphene oxide removal; pure vitamin D, a new study for Long Covid is suggesting that vitamin D supplements may help prevent or ease the debilitating condition; quercetin, a flavonoid which is antiviral and anti-inflammatory. The literature reveals that quercetin exhibits anti-COVID-19 activity because of its inhibitory effect on the expression of the human ACE2 receptors and the enzymes of SARS-CoV-2, and citrus bioflavonoids; flavonoids interact with ACE1 and ACE2 receptors, inhibit their activity and have an antiviral effect.

Laktokhan Probiotic Complex: 1 capsule before breakfast and dinner. The immune health of the gut lining, the mucosal layer within the gut, influences your intestinal flora and your entire immune system. This protective barrier separates what you consume and the inner intestinal wall.  The mucosal layer within the gut influences your intestinal flora and your entire immune system. This barrier contains an immune compound called secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA/sIgA) which is critical for healthy intestinal flora; it is an antibody that helps trap foreign substances, preventing them from adhering to the inner gut wall. This process protects the tight junctions inside the gut from oxidative stress caused by germs, heavy metals, and other unwanted substances from entering circulation.

Zinc picolinate: 1 capsule twice per day taken with food. Picolinates are part of the body’s natural chelation process, they are more readily recognized and used by the cells. Zinc is involved in more than 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in genetic expression, cell division, and growth. Zinc picolinate act as antiviral against many RNA viruses including SARS-CoV-2.

Raw desiccated Thyrodine® Thyroid Gland Complex: 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, taken on an empty stomach. Thyroid is running close to epidemic levels, affecting radiation toxicity and hormone imbalance. The thyroid gland regulates innate and adaptive immune systems by genomic and nongenomic pathways. During or after SARS-CoV-2 infection, Graves’ disease and subacute thyroiditis might be triggered resulting in hyperthyroidism; alternatively, the effect of the virus on the hypophyseal-hypothalamic axis might cause central hypothyroidism. Severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can present with hypoxia (low levels of dissolved oxygen). The primary hypothesis is the direct influence on the thyroid gland by SARS-CoV-2 causing euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS), resulting in decreased levels of serum T3 and/or T4 without increased secretion of TSH. In patients with COVID-19, ESS may be directly caused by the infection of thyroid cells with SARS-CoV-2. Thyroid dysfunction maybe caused by direct infection of the thyroid or a “cytokine storm”-mediated autoimmune effect on the thyroid,

Clinical Study: Blocking and Preventing Pathogenicity Viral Risk; 

DMSO Liquid and Colloidal Silver spray (20% ethanol): add 30 drops of DMSO liquid into a 50ml bottle of Colloidal Silver, shake well and spray once into each nostril and once in the mouth. Reduces the pathogenicity risk of COVID-19 by up to 88%.

Clinically studied on front line Covid-19 healthcare workers, intranasal inhalation spray may destroy the viruses’ structure, break the virus transmission chain, and reduces the pathogenicity risk, nasal spray composed of DMSO and ethanol causing total turmoil in the breeding and replicating virus herd inside the nasopharynx and throat. Study was performed at the Shahroud University of Medical Sciences in Iran.[16]
