Sloppy Studies; Lawsuits, Legislation over Vaccine Mandates

Alleged Faking and Frenzy on Pfizer Study

A Pfizer researcher has blown the whistle on the sloppy, helter-skelter practices at a contractor called Ventavia during the COVID vaccine trial. The British Medical Journal reports regional director Brook Jackson's revelations:

  • Falsifying data
  • Employing inadequately trained vaccinators
  • Delay in following up on adverse events
  • Overwhelmed staff
  • Possible unblinding of participants

Jackson reported the problems to the FDA, who never investigated them. Jackson was fired. 

Vendors Lied: Volunteers Wrecked

Meantime, researchers "did everything in their power to hide what happened" to Maddie de Garay, a trial participant. At age 12, Maddie participated in the Pfizer trial and received two doses of the vaccine. According to Maddie's mother, Stephanie de Garay,

  • Trials have participants use an app to report specific adverse reactions, but the app doesn't have a way to report other reactions. Other reactions are reported to the study doctor, leaving room for reporting error and bias. 
  • Within 12 hours of receiving the second dose, Maddie developed nausea, electric shocks, pain, numbness, severe chest pain, tachycardia, and extreme dizziness. She went on to spend 63 days in the hospital. Now, Maddie cannot walk, needs a tube for feeding, has constant pain in her stomach, and can't feel her legs. The FDA emergency use authorization for 12-15 year olds makes no mention of any of her reactions, but rather describes her reaction as a stomach ache. 
  • Pfizer, the CDC and the FDA have never contacted the de Garays.

AstraZenica also whitewashed their research. Brianne Dressen had such a severe reaction that she was removed from the trial--but the New England Journal of Medicine article on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine says only that there were patients who "withdrew," that "no new vaccine-related safety signals were identified," and that "serious adverse events will be recorded from the time of signed informed consent through day 730." The report does not include Dressen's reactions, which she says have upended her life.

"Here's your proper informed consent," says Dressen. "If you get COVID, you will get medical help. But I'm afraid to tell you, if you have [a reaction], you are on your own. The government won't help you. The drug companies won't help you. Your medical teams will have no idea what to do with you. Financially, you will be on your own. You will be completely on your own."

This is the sad but entirely predictable outcome from the same medical industry that gave us the diabesity epidemic, that mostly doesn't treat thyroid problems, that sent people to prison for made-up crimes that existed only in recovered memories, that gave out opioids like M&Ms, and that can't solve something as basic as heartburn without drugs. 

The vaccine victims need to build a website with a forum that can't be deplatformed (as Facebook has done to them), start looking for answers to their own problems, and forget about fighting city hall. Some in the low-carb community have been fighting for ten years just to change the dietary guidelines from my-plate-of-metabolic-syndrome to something less toxic, to no avail. If it were me, the first thing I'd try would be krill oil. When my dog suffered from an overdose of ivermectin--which the vet said couldn't possibly be harming her (sound familiar?)--a joint medication with krill oil helped her. Looking at that in writing, it seems like a long shot and maybe it is, but that is what I would try. Oh--and if Maddie is on soy-based TPN, it might be a good idea to find an alternative.

Feds Sued

Today, OSHA issued its emergency order, begun two months ago and taking effect in another two months. It's a good thing OSHA isn't in charge of real emergencies. 

Governors and attorneys general, on the other hand, were johnny on the spot in filing lawsuits to stop the mandates and the emergency they would create. Indiana alone filed three. Our senator Mike Braun is leading an effort to nullify the order, but things will more likely be settled in court. The mandate requires unvaccinated people to wear a mask indoors unless they're in an office with walls and a door, which I don't have anymore. Having had to lie down before after standing and wearing a mask for 20 minutes or so, I don't think I'd be physically able to comply. There's a carve-out for people working from home, so that's what I'd have to ask my employer for if this disaster comes to pass. With the shortage of health care workers and now glass vials, weekly testing isn't likely to be a real-world option.  Hopefully, enough of our clients will stay in business to provide me with full-time work. 

This reminds me of a Thomas Sowell quote I read today: "Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good."

And another quote: "I'm going off the rails on a crazy train." -Ozzy Osbourne

Fermented bread and butter pickle recipe ft. L. Plantarum

After Dr. Davis said the other night that  L. plantarum  may reduce some of the effects of the herbicide glyphosate (which is everywhere), I'm re-running my recipe for fermented bread and butter pickles. Pickling cucumbers naturally have  L. plantarum  bacteria on them, and fermenting them with some brown sugar multiplies these bacteria. (Just don't use chlorinated water to wash them.) And if you're growing your own cucumbers, avoid spraying the fruits with  Bacillus thuringiensis , or Bt (leaves and vines are OK). It's unclear what effect a big dose of Bt would have on humans. Another benefit of DIY pickles: no emulsifiers like polysorbate 80, which is a common ingredient in pickles. If you have GI problems, it could be from emulsifiers. These sweet-and-sour pickles are the tastiest I've ever made. There's just a little added sugar (some of which the bacteria will consume) and turmeric that gives the pickles their bright color.  Special equipment Quar...

Collagen-filled Low Carb Burritos

Low-carb, grain-free Mexican food is hard to find, but it's easy to make your own at home. This recipe has an authentic ingredient: carne de lengua, or beef tongue. Don't be put off: beef tongue is tender, delicious, and full of collagen. Look for it directly from farmers in your area. To cook it, cut it in 1" to 1-1/2" slices and pressure cook for one hour. Enjoy the delicious broth as a bonus. Ingredients 1 slice cooked beef tongue, peeled and cut into small cubes 1 egg wrap (I use these  from Egglife) 1/4 cup cooked black or pinto beans Chili pepper Oregano Garlic (powdered or minced) Cumin Guacamole (with no emulsifiers) Salsa Shredded cheddar cheese Sour cream or homemade cream cheese  with no emulsifiers  Put the egg wrap on a plate and put the beef and beans down the middle of it. Sprinkle with the herbs and spices. Wrap, turn over and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Spoon salsa over the burrito and sprinkle with cheese. Add guacamole and sour cream or homemade crea...

Carrageenan: A Sickening Thickener. Is it a Migraine Menace?

Let me tell you about my ride in an ambulance last night. I woke up at six o'clock from a nap with a mild headache. I ate dinner and took my vitamins, along with a couple of extra magnesium pills. Since magnesium helps my TMJ flare-ups, I thought it might help my headache. Then I went to see my mother. A few hours later, I had a severe headache, sinus pain and nausea. During a brief respite from the pain, I left for home, but less than a mile later, I got out of my car and threw up. A cop, Officer Fisher, pulled up behind me and asked if I was okay. He believed me when he said I hadn't been drinking, but he said I seemed lethargic and he wanted the paramedics to see me. (Later he mentioned that a man he'd recently stopped was having a stroke.) Thinking I had a migraine headache, the paramedics wanted to take me to the hospital. But since I knew that doctors don't know what causes migraine headaches, and I didn't know what effect their medicine would have on m...

Getting Over Palpitations

Note to new readers: please note I'm not a health care provider and have no medical training. If you have heart palpitations, I have no idea whether the following will work for you. Over the past several days, I've had a rough time with heart palpitations and feeling physically jittery. I was wondering if I was going to turn into one of those people who can't sit still. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it would be a major lifestyle change. Kidding aside, something wasn't right and I really needed to get back to normal. I tried popping potassium pills like candy. I ate more. I doubled up on my iron dose. I went to yoga and even got on the treadmill at 6 AM yesterday. I tried the nuclear option of eating more carbs to stop peeing away minerals. Most of these things helped, but the problem kept coming back. A comment from Galina made me look up epinephrine, one of the drugs my surgeon used to anesthetize me Friday. First, the assistant at the surge...
