The Senate Hearing on Corruption of Science and Health Agencies

I spent some time the other day listening to the three-hour Senate Hearing (and relistened again the day I get this written): “The Corruption of Science and Federal Health Agencies: How Health Officials Downplayed and Hid Myocarditis and Other Adverse Events Associated with the COVID-19 Vaccines.” The last time I wrote about a Senate hearing on COVID-19, I got censored. So we’ll see how this goes.

It was mainly ranking member Senator Blumenthal and Hawaii Governor Josh Green, MD, who were on the side of, “The vaccines saved lives,” and “Let’s make sure under no circumstances do we cause vaccine hesitancy.” And then there was Committee Chair Ron Johnson, with a line-up of doctors and scientists addressing mainly vaccine injuries: cardiologist and internist Dr. Peter McCullough; vascular researcher Dr. Jordan Vaughn; OB-GYN Dr. James Thorp; former neurosurgeon and now co-chair of REACT-19 Dr. Joel Wallskog; and attorney specializing in vaccine injury claims Aaron Siri.

They presented evidence that the myocarditis danger signal was available by late February 2021, just a couple of months after the vaccine rollout—but it was ignored. Officially, it was known to the CDC by April 2021, but the information was shared only with the “vaccine” makers, not with doctors or the public. Nor was the recommendation for myocarditis patients to avoid strenuous exercise (which means they especially endangered athletes who were required to get the injections in order to play their sports). 

Officially, this was the topic of the hearing. But they did bring up other injuries as well. And one got my attention.

Dr. James A. Thorp (OB-GYN) reported that the vaccine-induced miscarriage rate was much higher than reported. He said that the signal was hidden by combining those who had the vaccine in later trimesters (beyond when you would call a terminating event a miscarriage), whereas the strongest signal was with those getting the vaccine in the first trimester. He said that miscarriage rate was as high as the RU-486 abortifacient drug. 

Dr. James Thorp gives his opening testimony at the hearing

In his testimony, he says,

These entities falsely assured pregnant women that the vaccines were proven safe and essential for maternal, fetal, and newborn health, even though early evidence indicated quite the opposite[i]. Pregnancy itself was protective against COVID-19-related maternal mortality[ii].

The marketing (propaganda) approach had been to use pregnant women—the most vulnerable. If they could convince pregnant women that the injections were “safe and effective,” and necessary to protect their babies from a deadly virus—if pregnant women were convinced to get the injections, then the rest of the public would assume it was safe for them to take.

Thorp referred to a much-cited Shimabukuro study[iii], showing a 12.6% miscarriage rate, which is high but not too extraordinary. But he explains what the raw data actually show:

The authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, but the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with the 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data and is discussed in detail below. These figures mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU-486.

Further down in his report, he shares additional Pfizer’s findings[iv] (from Pfizer’s p. 12):

·        A miscarriage rate of 81% (26 out of 32 cases, with 238 out of 270 cases lacking followup),

•           A five-fold increase in stillbirth rates—from an expected 5.8 per 1,000 to 31 per 1,000 (1 in 32),

•           An eight-fold increase in neonatal death rates—from an expected 3.9 per 1,000 to 31 per 1,000 (1 in 32),

•           There is a 13% incidence (17 out of 133 cases) of breastfeeding complications among newborns whose mothers received the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy.

He adds this note: “Pfizer and the FDA sought to withhold the release of these post-market adverse event analyses for 55 to 75 years[v] [vi].” Any claims that they were transparent and/or making a concerted effort to inform doctors and the public are belied by that effort to withhold.

Thorp talks about the dangers of mRNA injections possibly altering the human genome—not just a multi-generational catastrophe, but a permanent altering. The damage would affect humankind forever. He says, “A strong case can be made that pushing novel COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy is the most significant ethical breach in the history of medicine[vii] [viii].”

In a hearing where the ethical breaches include hiding damage to hearts, particularly in young people who were not at risk from the disease; blood clots; knowingly lying about the injections staying at the injection site when they were designed to cross organ barriers throughout the body; ignoring deaths and adverse events that were closely linked to the injections—including autopsy proof of cause of death being the injections; the censoring of truth and data. And we could add the discrimination against and removal of availability of effective drugs and treatments.

I don’t know how to measure which ethical breach is the worst in the history of medicine, but it’s very likely you could get a top five or ten just from the response to COVID-19. I believe you could summarize it as: A disease that was bad but treatable was made into a major catastrophe by a politicized public health response that was exactly opposite to what would have protected public health.

While we’re on Dr. Thorp’s testimony, he adds a July 2023 study[ix] by Pfizer reporting adverse events for babies after birth (whose mothers got the “vaccine”):

1.        A 100% increase in low Apgar scores (indicating depressed newborns).

2.        A substantial increase in meconium aspiration syndrome.

3.        An 80% increase in neonatal jaundice.

4.        A 70% increase in congenital malformations.

5.        A 220% increase in atrial septal defects.

6.        A substantial increase in fetal growth restriction.

7.        A 200% increase in congenital nevi.

8.        A 310% increase in congenital anomalies with developmental delays at 6 months of age.

Let’s add the reminder here that the COVID-19 disease did not kill young people. No healthy young children died. Very few had more than typical cold or flu symptoms, which they recovered from without medical intervention. Nor were they known to be spreading the illness to more vulnerable adults. So these adverse outcomes for babies, weighed against the “benefits,” show strong reasons for not vaccinating pregnant women, and thus vaccinating their pre-born children; and indeed show strong reasons for not vaccinating anyone but the most vulnerable (which we might argue against as well).

The dissenting opinions, mainly from Senator Blumenthal and Hawaii Governor Green, claim that we know the vaccines (a term they insist on using) saved millions upon millions of lives. The “study” they cite is actually a blog post by someone who used a mathematical model. It is difficult to show a negative—what would have happened in alternate circumstances. That’s what double-blind placebo studies are designed to do. Nor do these two address why the vaccine would have done more good than the various treatments available—which Dr. McCullough suggests all worked.

What they do talk about is the recent measles outbreak, which started in Samoa in 2019, and has spread to Texas and a couple dozen other states. Dr. Green claimed he held children as they died of measles in Samoa, which was heartbreaking. They were attempting to blame RFK Jr and his organization for talking people out of getting vaccinated in Samoa. This followed an incident in which two children died following getting MMR shots when the nurses (who were prosecuted) used the wrong reagent, thus accidentally poisoning the children. This was at a time—as in the US—when the disease was considered eliminated (different from worldwide eradication). That meant risk of getting the disease was low, and risk of death from the disease was, as always, around 14/1000 cases (it’s less in the US). Considering that there are other risks from vaccines, it seems to me that this was reasonable information to provide to parents. It did result in the lowering of vaccination rates from 75% to around 40%, going into the outbreak. Note that some measles cases also occurred in vaccinated individuals.

What they were trying to do was conflate MMR vaccines with the COVID-19 injections—which were originally touted as necessary to prevent contraction and spread of COVID-19 but which did neither. In other words, they’re willing to lie to you about the efficacy and safety of the mRNA injections in order to maintain confidence in other vaccines. They do not, by the way, touch on the growth from 3 injections (which included MMR) in early childhood to 70+ injections today.

So, getting back to that bombshell about the COVID-19 “vaccines” being on par with abortifacient drugs…

I had been aware of higher than normal miscarriage rates; I had known personally at least one case (who had been glad to take the vaccine, because of her fear; my background opinion, which I didn’t express to her, was that the vaccine caused the miscarriage). The tragedy, as we see it now, is that millions of pregnant women worldwide, gladly anticipating their babies, unknowingly aborted them. I do not blame them; they were manipulated and had no evil intent. I blame those who used them; may God deal with them justly (and possibly more mercifully than I would).

I had been concerned that the vaccine might be causing infertility into the future. That can happen, depending on the damage caused by the spike protein in the individual patient, some of which would exist beyond a single pregnancy. But I’m glad to say the one I knew has since had a successful pregnancy. That concern about the altering of the human genome still looms, however.

I’m going to move into the Revelation 13 beasts talk again. This is, at least, a way to think about what’s happening, metaphorically and/or in reality.

from the Dürer Apocalypse woodcut "The Beast with the Lamb's Horns
and the Beast with Seven Heads," this segment found here

As a refresher, there’s a dragon (evil itself, or Satan) that wields power over two beasts. The first is a beast rising out of the sea—which means it extends to many nations—and it has many heads and crowns, or authorities. Other names are the Worldwide Cabal, the Whore of All the Earth, the Deep State, the Great and Abominable Church (corrupt belief system), or the Anti-Christ (which, in my opinion describes this beast, not a yet-to-be-identified powerful individual). And then there’s the land beast, a false-speaking ram with the roar of a lion. I call it the propaganda beast. It upholds and, through illusion (deception), seems to give substance to the sea beast.

That pandemic must have seemed like such a coup for the dragon and his beasts. So much death. So much fear. So much distrust. So much damage to humanity. Imagine what a delight that must have been for C. S. Lewis’s Screwtape and Wormwood (minor devils in The Screwtape Letters).

Death and injury themselves would have been a goal for these beasts. But a particular goal is to ruin family.

In this pandemic, the beasts were able to close churches and temples (temporarily), close schools (in some cases up to two school years without in-person classes, thus setting back the education of a generation of children), causing irreparable economic destruction, fear and distrust galore (including traumatizing children needlessly), affecting development with those stupid ineffective masks that covered faces and harmed breathing, and now we learn wiped out a partial generation through miscarriage and infant death, and affected major portions of the survivors.

And that was just the pandemic. Every detail of the LGBTQ agenda is designed to lead children away from happy, healthy families and toward infertile debauchery. Again, this is not hatred toward groups of people, for whom I recommend Reintegrative Therapy to deal with whatever trauma caused them to dissociate from their sex; it is the desire to prevent spreading that trauma to vulnerable children.

Those beasts are big and powerful. But we are identifying them, and standing up against them with truth where we can. That is our duty, even though we don’t feel powerful against such foes. But our God is a much mightier God than that dragon and his beasts. If you read to the end of the story in Revelation, you know those puny entities that seem so powerful now will be eradicated like a weak virus subject to disinfection by sunlight.

Hosanna! It means God rescue us. Any time now would be a good time.
