I was offered some of the first available sets of the Pfizer vaccine from a local hospital where I am on staff. Most if not all of the doctors that I know and work with literally fell over themselves to get jabbed. I thought that especially for the younger healthier ones, it was insane to do this. I have a molecular biology degree I studied adenoviruses viruses, I know exactly how this mRNA technology is supposed to work and it’s never been tried in humans before. I have a semi retired older male partner Doctor Who has some health issues. I asked the hospital administration to give him my doses. They refused. It’s a long story. I had a bad taste in my mouth from this and deferred the vaccine for myself. Several doctors in the community including one of my practice partners actually called me to ask me why I wasn’t taking it. They thought I was endangering other people and other patients. I explained that this vaccine is very unlikely to stop infection and spread. It was very unlikely that this was a sterilizing vaccine. The original pfizer document that was submitted to the FDA for the EUA, Which i would cite to these people, made no representations about reducing infection. The vaccine was only meant to protect the person who received it by reducing the chance of severe illness and death. Since I was not at risk of severe illness and death, taking an experimental vaccine did not make sense for me. I explained that because this vaccine is an injection it would probably not be very effective like the influenza vaccine because it does not provide mucosal immunity . This seemed obvious. These are basic science principles that any decent student of molecular biology learns as an undergraduate . But several of my doctor acquaintances Thought I was being “selfish” and “reckless”. I actually got into a few arguments and accused them of being selfish. Because there were older sick or at risk people who could’ve gotten their doses.

Anyway I never got the shot and I got kicked off the staff of the local hospital. And I’ve had to justify my existence with request for “ exemptions”

The whole thing is a goddamn farce

My wife and i are both MDs In the New York metro area. I’m 53 she’s 50. We were both offered Some of the first pfizer shots in February 2021. I deferred, she got the two shot series. She had severe menstrual irregularities. And then in August 2021 my 17-year-old son came down with Covid. Then I got it and then she got it. We all took the front line critical care protocol. She, my wife was way sicker than I was or was my son. We are all fit healthy people with no comorbidities. She had a very severe flu like illness. None of us were ever in danger of needing to go to the hospital. But I would say in her case the vaccine failed completely

I teach (or taught as I refused the mandated injection) at an "elite" university- Ivy League. The student body has a compliance rate of 99%.

As the vaccine program was being rolled out I was getting first hand accounts of how it was impacting students. I was teaching all through the "pandemic" and during the vaccine roll out as only this semester has the mandate gone into effect for faculty and staff and I rejected the mandate. I still teach several of them through an independent program.

Every single student that received an injection had some degree of adverse reaction- every single one. I'm not talking about just sore arms and fevers. I would learn about this directly as they explained their absence from class.

I would ask them personally to describe their experience which they would.

To attend this semester boosters were required. One individual who is a post doc from Korea, told me he did not want to get the booster. I asked him why to which he replied that 90% of his cohort (10-12 individuals) that received the booster had severe reactions to the booster and as he had severe reactions to the first two shots he was afraid to get the booster.

I pushed him on this saying that 90% was a very high number and he said he could not think of any who did not have a bad reaction. When I asked him to describe the adverse reactions he said they were mainly heart related with lymph node problems also being an issue.

He said some of them had heart issues that kept them in bed/at home resting for 3-7 days. None of them went to the hospital or to a doctor as they assumed these problems would go away which they eventually did. I asked him if any of them reported these events to VAERS or to the university and he said they never heard of VAERS and none of them reported their events to the university.

The university has no protocols in place for students to report adverse events.

I would testify to this under oath.

I am a physician using a pseudonym due to the loss of Mandatory Constitutional Rights in the country of my birth. I have refused to accept 'The Jab' and lost my hospital privileges, and have been excised from the local medical community as a pariah and persona non grata.

I have written Rx's for HCQ & IVM for patients, friends and family... I was warned against this and my persistence has resulted in restriction of my DEA License. I have had to post opposing points of view on Substack, and GETTR/Twitter because my State Medical Board has been monitoring my posts.

I have been told by non-medical "Fact-Checkers" that my posting of peer reviewed journal articles questioning the Legacy Narrative, represent "Mis-information" I have conducted more than 3 dozen FDA Phase II & III clinical trials into Parkinson's Disease. Yet, I have no authority to comment on corrupt Vaccine Trials with false endpoints and arbitrary & dubious statistical analysis.

Never in my lifetime would I have suspect of living under a Junta of Fools and accepting insanity as the guidance by which I will let my loved ones, my patients and myself be governed.

As always, Eugyppius, thank you for sound reasoning and an outlet to reassure my of my own sanity. --ejd

As a fireman in California, I was able to get early vaccination (first responder, etc) and foolishly, I agreed. Got both the shots, moderna. This was after I had covid. My covid experience was mild, 3 days of fatigue and the loss of smell and taste. I was back to 100% after covid in about 6-7 days.

The vaccination story is somewhat different. After the first shot, I was in bed, flu like symptoms for about 16 hours (fatigue, fever, etc) and then I was pretty much fine. After the 2nd shot, I was in bed for a week, pretty good body pain, especially in the hips, extreme fatigue with fever, didn't really recover for about 2 weeks after.

No way I get the booster, should have never got the shots in the first place, but I was perhaps a but idealistic in the hopes that the vaccine was what they said...which, it wasn't...and hope is not a plan.

Got the two shots in Feb 2021. No long term effects other than what I mentioned. Not sure what the future holds. Wife and kids are not vaccinated, nor will they be. This entire thing is one giant joke, can't believe that the CDC, NIH, etc. have dropped the ball so hard on this. The censorship, the outright crimes...can't believe it. One of the many troubling aspects of this, to me, is the continued support and forcing of vaccines, masks, etc. Just fascinating to watch this religious fever that is taking place, especially where I am in California. It's really sad, has divided families, friends, etc. Can't wait to move away...

My experience was great.

I said: Take this jab and shove it up your ***.

They did not shove it, I believe... But they left me alone. So I remain healthy.

The end.

If you haven't seen it, Israel MOH released a survey that directly polled 2000 recipients of the 3rd shot about side effects. So this is like VAERS but smaller and with a denominator. Some of the commenters deduced from this a 30x URF for VAERS.. which corresponds well with everyone else's estimate apart from the CDC of course.

I haven’t and won’t get the C19 “vaccine”, but my wife (66) did in April 2021 (Pfizer, both shots). Just four months later this perfectly healthy woman suffered a massive stroke and was hospitalized for 5 days and in physical therapy for 2 months following. Her health is ruined.

I’m sorry to say I believe this (or worse) will be the report of hundreds of thousand of people in the west BECAUSE THEY TRUSTED THEIR GOVERNMENTS (or were forced to take the jab ~ or lose their employment. What an awful, shitty abuse of citizens!

A friend, 75 years old, permanently lost energy after Dose 2. (Pfizer, almost for sure).

Steadily weakened, then died suddenly of Pulmonary Embolism. Died coughing up blood. No history of lung problems, though he was a light smoker. No history of blood clots (I knew his medical situation as we were close).

He was otherwise very healthy - as in, we were on a roof repairing it 5 months before Dose 1.

Me and one other friend think it was the V.

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Emailed you from (Vancouver) Canada just a few minutes ago! Also forgot to add: an ex family member in Seattle, 42 YO female, vaxxed, went in for routine mammogram early this fall. They discovered breast cancer so bad that she had to immediately begin chemo—for months—then will have a double mastectomy this spring and radiation. She was shocked as it doesn’t knowingly run in her family and she hadn’t expected anything other than the routine check. They said they’d never caught this aggressive form so early. No one is certain she’ll make it.

This isn’t necessarily an immediate “adverse reaction”, like the others I included in my email, but it is certainly suspicious.

please include geographical information. Because here in New York City, I’ve heard about nothing. I mean zero. And it’s true that I don’t have a huge social networks, but I do have a church and chorus and my husbands large firm, and we’ve heard of nothing at all. Nor from my daughter and any of her school contacts. I’ve heard about good and bad batches, and I’m wondering if somehow New York City just really lucked out. Or maybe other people in this area have had different experiences.

I remain unvaccinated, but I have 2 friends (one late 20s, one mid 30s, both athletic males) that had heart conditions. One had "strange palpitations for weeks" and could not move his left arm, the one had a serious case of tachycardia which will probably stick with him for his life. Another person (woman, 50s) has crippling blood clots in her legs, and one (male, late 40s) had a full body rash. For unconfirmed injuries, one person had serious nerve damage in her spine (mid 30s, female) with no impact/obvious cause. I have also heard from my extended peers many cases of blood clots, heart issues, and other injuries. And my social circle is not enormous, nor do I discuss these things with them unless they bring them up. Even if the people I know are somehow unlucky, it stands to reason that from a probabilistic vaccine injuries are far, far more common than we find in the literature. Insurance companies probably have the best data on the true rate of injuries.

I live in NY. I am an RN x33 yrs. I did not take the vax. I was working per-diem 12/20 when vax rollout was occurring at my hospital. There were quite a few RRTs (Rapid response Teams) being called to the area where staff we’re getting vaccinated. Too many for my liking. I dove into the research hard and decided this gene therapy treatment was not for me. Since that roll out I know of one anesthesiologist who suffered neuropathy in her hands and did not return to work, my close nurse friends had short term side effects (fever, feeling like absolute shit) but nothing critical. My one coworker at another job was seriously sick for about 5-7 days then developed rheumatoid arthritis like symptoms. My real estate broker’s brother died immediately upon receiving the 2nd dose. A friend’s coworker developed Guillain-Barré syndrome. My niece’s father in law developed pulmonary embolism as did my sister’s boss. I know this is a lot of anecdotal information so take it for what you will, but this has been my experience in my circle of family, friends and coworkers.

On (USA) Nextdoor this lady (Indian American) posted about her severe reaction post vaccine. While speaking to her personally, she said she had heart palpitations so bad that she thought she was going to die in her sleep while her older daughter hardly had any reaction (freshman working towards a career in medicine). Because of her reaction, she felt scared to vaccinate her younger daughter (middle school). Her husband too had moderate reaction. Two of her (Indian American) friends ended up with higher BP levels post vaccine. Both fit and healthy prior to the event ie they didnt have any other comorbidities. She was gaslighted by her doctor saying palpitations could be due to anxiety. Tried to convince her to bring out her experience to the wider community but was scared of repercussions (from her employer and wider community). Vaccinated by June '21. Conversed with her around August '21.

I was bullied into a Pfizer shot in august 2021. Within 10 mins my arms started to tingle. It settled into numbness, pain and pins and needles in my left hand. Doctors refused to acknowledge it but finally saw me in October to be referred to neurology. My radial left nerve shows low amplitudes and it was shrugged off. I won’t take another jab, the cumulative damage could be horrific. My hand works, but not at full capacity and with pain to eg close a ziplock bag. I haven’t had Covid to my knowledge but do have T cells. I’m otherwise a sub 40, healthy, no comorbidities woman who never was at risk from Covid. I got to pay my medical bills for the injuries and had to report it to vaers myself. Es ist ein Witz 🤬

I’m in San Francisco.
