In the last 12 months I have seen sixteen significant and severe reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine. I cannot be alone in seeing this trend. However, physicians and providers around the world seem fearful in even talking about it with their colleagues. And, as of this week, there is VAERS data implying that more children have died from the vaccine than from the virus itself.

I have always been a big proponent of vaccines. But, that advocacy for vaccination has been based on good research and data demonstrating that both the short and long-term risk is greatly outweighed by the benefit of vaccination. I have been in practice long enough to have seen multiple vaccinations and therapeutics pulled off the market 1-5 years after they were released because of severe adverse events relating to the drug or vaccine (ie – thalidamide, DES, Baycol, Accutane, Redux, Seldane, Zelnorm and Vioxx just to name a few.)

In my family practice clinic over the last 22 years, I’ve rarely seen acute cases of myocarditis show up on my doorstep. However, in the last 12 months I’ve had eight cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the wall of the heart) and eight cases of prolonged colitis (inflammation of the colon that did not respond to antibiotics) directly related to COVID-19 vaccination. Because I practice in the midst of a retirement community on one side of the street and a city of young families on the opposite side of the street, my practice is predominantly newly marrieds and people over 60 years old. I don’t see nearly as many children as other family practitioners or pediatricians. But, the numbers don’t lie.

I’ve been patiently waiting to seen the journal articles about this topic. Yet, it has not been written. Why must a family practitioner be writing about this, when this should be front page news on every website? Of course, I have my biases, to which I will openly admit. Yet, I seriously don’t know the answer to that question.

We live in a time when medicine has become a politicized weapon. The medical and political leadership on both sides of the isle keep moving the goal posts. Both sides appeal to false authorities. Those who are supposed to be authorities flip flop their position on the clear evidences. And, medical journals have become less and less trustworthy for a number of reasons. It leaves the physician in the trenches scratching his or her head.

Elevated D-Dimers, Fatigue, Colitis & Palpitations

All sixteen of these cases above had elevated D-dimer tests (the protein marker in the blood for significant inflammation and clotting risk) lasting 6-8 months. Four of these sixteen patients had blood clots in the lungs. Most of these cases occurred after the second vaccine dose, but a few occurred after the first dose. Six of these patients have been so fatigued, they could not work and could barely function for over four to six months.

I provide below two of the actual ultrasound images I completed while examining these sixteen patients:

41 year old male with 2 months of fatigue and palpitations starting 30 days after his first dose of COVID vaccine.

Why is this significant? Because in 22 years of medical practice, I can count on one hand the number of severe vaccine reactions I’ve personally seen in my office in all vaccines combined. Then, suddenly in the last 12 months I have 16 severe reactions to the COVID-19 jab?! It makes a person think . . .

Let’s Stop Pretending that COVID-19 Vaccines are Perfect

To date, Dr Anthony Fauci, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy remind us that 97% of new covid-19 hospitalizations or 99% of covid-19 deaths are among the unvaccinated. I’m sure the message is well-intentioned: “Vaccines will protect you from severe disease, so go get vaccinated!”

The problem is that the message is not true. Initially, there was an 81-89% reduction in severe hospitalization in the first 2-3 months of vaccination according to the studies we had. However, this protection has dramatically decreased. Hence the introduction of boosters. Yet, the studies on boosters have only looked a antibody levels, not at hospitalization risk reduction or reduction of death from COVID-19.

We saw this in the UK, where deaths among the vaccinated went from “rare” to two-thirds of all delta variant deaths by July. We saw this in Israel, where literally no fully vaccinated people died of covid-19 for 3-4 weeks in June, but by August over 60% of the severely ill were fully vaccinated.

As of today, Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine is just 39% effective in Israel where the delta variant is the dominant strain according to the recent report from the country’s Health Ministry.

Is there some effectiveness to the vaccine? According to the studies we have to date – yes. However, does that benefit outweigh the long-term risk? That is the $1 million dollar question.

How Do We Know What the Risk of Vaccination Actually Is?

Other than the very short term vaccine trials conducted by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson lasting 6 months, we really don’t know what the long-term real world risks are. The only data we have is the CDC’s ongoing VAERS data reporting system.

Established in 1990, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines. VAERS is co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (possible side effects) after a person has received a vaccination. Anyone can report an adverse event to VAERS. Healthcare professionals are required to report certain adverse events and vaccine manufacturers are required to report all adverse events that come to their attention.

VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern.

Jessica Rose, Ph.D., a research fellow at the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge in Israel, was interviewed about what the VAERS data tell us about the COVID vaccine risk. Rose stated that the average number of adverse event reports following vaccination for the past 10 years has been about 39,000 annually, with an average of 155 deaths. That’s for all available vaccines combined.

The COVID vaccines now account for 983,756 adverse event reports as of December 17, 2021, including 20,622 deaths—and this doesn’t include the underreporting factor, which we know is significant and likely ranges from five to 40 times higher than reported. Most doctors and nurses don’t even know what VAERS is and even if they do, they chose not to report the incidents.

Data as of January 14, 2022, reports 9,936 deaths in the U.S. due to COVID-19 vaccination.

In the case of the COVID vaccinations, data demonstrates that 50% of the deaths occur within 48 hours of injection. It’s simply not conceivable that 10,000 people died two days after their shot from something other than the shot. Though fact checkers around the world discount this site as not official “because anyone can report” and claim it is coincidental. It cannot all be coincidence. Especially since so many of them are younger, with no underlying lethal conditions that threaten their lives. 80% have died within one week of their injection, which is still incredibly close in terms of cause and effect.

Children Are At 80% Greater Risk

Aside from the immediate risk of death, children are also at risk for potentially lifelong health problems from this vaccination. Myocarditis (heart inflammation seen in the two adult ultrasound images above) has emerged as one of the most common problems, especially among boys and young men.

In early September 2021, Tracy Beth Hoeg and colleagues posted an analysis of VAERS data on the preprint server medRxiv, showing that more than 86% of the children aged 12 to 17 who report symptoms of myocarditis were severe enough to require hospitalization.

Cases of myocarditis exploded after the second shot, Hoeg found, and disproportionally affecting boys. A full 90% of post-injection myocarditis reports are males, and 85% of reports occurred after the second dose. 

Said Hoeg, “The estimated incidence of CAEs [cardiac adverse events] among boys aged 12-15 years following the second dose was 162 per million; the incidence among boys aged 16-17 years was 94 per million. The estimated incidence of CAEs among girls was 13 per million in both age groups.”

According to Steve Kirsch, doctors are seeing an increase in myocarditis, but few are willing to talk about it. 

In October 2021, Jessica Rose and Dr. Peter McCullough submitted a paper on myocarditis cases in VAERS following the COVID vaccination to the journal Current Problems in Cardiology. Everything was set for publication when, suddenly, the journal changed its mind and took it down.

You can still find the pre-printed article on Rose’s website. The data clearly show that myocarditis is inversely related to age. The younger you are the higher the risk of myocarditis. The risk is also dose-dependent, with boys having a six-fold greater risk of myocarditis following the second dose.

While our health authorities and the CDC are shrugging off this risk saying cases are “mild,” that’s a blatant and frightening lie. The damage to the heart is typically permanent.

In the most recent VAERS report, you and I can see that in just six months, deaths in children and young adults from the COVID vaccine under the age of 29 years old has now surpassed the total number of deaths in this age group from COVID-19 in the last two years.

Why is this not being shouted from the rooftops? I still don’t have the answer.

COVID-19 Vaccines Double Your Risk for Acute Coronary Syndrome

Researchers have also found that Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines dramatically increase biomarkers associated with thrombosis, cardiomyopathy and other vascular events following injection.

People who have received two doses of the mRNA injection more than doubled their five-year risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the researchers found, driving it from an average of 11% to 25%. ACS is an umbrella term that includes not only heart attacks, but also a range of other conditions involving abruptly reduced blood flow to your heart.

In a Twitter post November 21, 2021, cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra wrote: “Extraordinary, disturbing, upsetting. We now have evidence of a plausible biological mechanism of how mRNA vaccine may be contributing to increased cardiac events. The abstract is published in the highest impact cardiology journal so we must take these findings very seriously.”

Yet, all you and I’ve heard from the “experts” is . . . crickets . . .

What Does the VAERS Data Actually Say?

As of December 17, 2021, looking only at U.S. reports, excluding the international reporting, VAERS had received:

• 308 cases of myocarditis among 18-year-olds
• 252 cases among 17-year-olds
• 226 cases in 16-year-olds
• 256 cases in 15-year-olds
• 193 in 14-year-olds
• 132 in 13-year-olds
• 108 in 12-year-olds

In total, that’s 1,475 cases of myocarditis in U.S. teens aged 18 and younger—five times the background rate in just six months! And again, this does not take into account the underreporting rate, which has been calculated to be anywhere from five to 40.

The CDC claimed that myocarditis was a possible rare side effect of the COVID infection itself.

Now, assuming the COVID hospitalization rate for adolescents is 21 per million, and we have 73.1 million adolescents, we could expect there to be 1,535 hospitalizations for COVID in this age group in a year. If 0.146 percent of those 1,535 teens develop myocarditis (the CDC’s quoted percentage of myocarditis found in adolescents), we could expect 2.2 cases of myocarditis to occur in this age group each year, among those who come down with COVID.

In summary, based on CDC statistics, we could expect just over two teens to contract myocarditis from COVID-19 infection. Meanwhile, we have 1,475 cases reported following the COVID vaccination in just six months (shots for 12- to 17-year-olds were authorized July 30, 2021). That’s a pretty big difference.

Based on the data we have in the last 12 months, there is absolutely no medical rationale or justification for children and teens to get a COVID shot. It’s all risk and no gain. 

And, as an adult, unless you are very high risk with diabetes, asthma, heart disease, morbid obesity, I’d think twice about getting a booster.

If your child experiences any symptoms of a cardiac or cardiovascular problem, seek immediate medical attention.

In my clinic, we use the following protocols to treat the elevated D-Dimer and lessen the adverse effect on the heart.

1. Colchicine 0.6 mg daily
2. Resveratrol 250-500 mg daily
3. Vitamin D 2000-5000 IU daily
