Global cancer anxieties
Professor Angus Dalgleish, mRNA Vaccines Must Be Banned Once and For All https://dailysceptic.org/2023/10/01/mrna-vaccines-must-be-banned-once-and-for-all/ https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/mrna-vaccines-must-be-banned-once-and-for-all/ At the end of last year I reported that I was seeing melanoma patients who had been stable for years relapse after their first booster (their third injection). The number of my patients affected has been rising ever since. Other oncologists have contacted me from all over the world including from Australia and the U.S. After boosters The consensus is that it is no longer confined to melanoma but that increased incidence of: After boosters Lymphomas, a cancer of the lymphatic system Leukaemias, a group of cancers that affect the blood Kidney cancers My colorectal cancer colleagues report an epidemic of explosive cancers (those presenting with multiple metastatic spread in the liver and elsewhere). Those of us who knew from the beginning that the sequence of SARS-CoV-2 contained inserts which could not have possibly occurred naturally, and were similar to ones that had already been published from the Wuhan laboratory The ‘vaccine’ did not stay at the site of injection as promised Batch-to-batch variability These alarming concerns seem to have been brushed off by the regulators when they should have immediately begun investigating them in depth. Yellow Card and U.S. VAERS adverse event reports to be nothing to be worried about. DNA contamination So why are these cancers occurring? T cell suppression was my first likely explanation. However we must also now consider DNA plasmid and SV40 integration in promoting cancer development, Reports that mRNA spike protein binds p53 and other cancer suppressor genes. To advise booster vaccines, as is the current case, is no more and no less than medical incompetence. No ifs or buts any longer. All mRNA vaccines must be halted and banned now.

Onset of symptoms typically in the first week following vaccination Although some individuals with myocarditis and/or pericarditis following administration of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have required intensive care support, available data suggest that individuals typically have resolution of symptoms within a few days with conservative management. In hospitalized patients who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 vaccine-associated myocarditis, Most of these patients had received a two-dose primary series of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine prior to their diagnosis. In this study, https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00388-2/fulltext at a median follow-up of approximately 5 months post-vaccination, persistence of abnormal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) findings that are a marker for myocardial injury was common. The clinical and prognostic significance of these CMR findings is not known Information is not yet available about potential long-term sequelae of myocarditis or pericarditis following administration of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. 5.3 Syncope Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines. 5.4 Altered Immunocompetence Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished immune response to MNEXSPIKE 5.5 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness MNEXSPIKE may not protect all vaccine recipients. 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most commonly (≥10%) reported adverse reactions following administration of MNEXSPIKE: Learn more about your ad choices.

Post viral syndrome information
Long covid seems to be the same as any other post viral syndrome https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/expert-reaction-long-covid-may-be-no-different-to-other-long-term-virus-effects From: European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2024, Barcelona, Spain, 27-30 April). Queensland data Long COVID ‘indistinguishable’ from other post-viral syndromes and other respiratory virus a year after infection Comparison with influenza and other respiratory illnesses Australia, Queensland, During Omicron wave No evidence of worse post-viral symptoms or functional impairment a year after infection. Long COVID may have appeared to be a distinct and severe illness because of high numbers of COVID-19 cases. N= 5,112 adult symptomatic individuals (Fatigue, brain fog, cough, shortness of breath, change to smell and taste, dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat) PCRs conducted between 29 May and 25 June 2022 PCR-confirmed infection for COVID-19 = 2,399 PCR negative for COVID-19 = 2,713 Influenza positive = 995 Results collected, May and June 2023 Overall Still reporting symptoms, 16% (834/5,112) Still reported moderate-to-severe functional impairment, 3.6% (184) Those still reporting any symptoms after a year Post Covid No difference Post Influenza Those with moderate-to-severe functional limitations a year after diagnosis None covid adults, 3% Covid positive adults, 4.1% Influenza positive adults, 3.4% https://bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/bmjph/1/1/e000060.full.pdf Comparison at 12 weeks post infection Ongoing symptoms after covid, 21.4% Ongoing symptoms after influenza, 23% Moderate to severe functional impairment after covid, 4.1% Moderate to severe functional impairment after influenza, 4.4% Obvious question not addressed!! Presence of spike protein antibodies Dr John Gerrard, Queensland’s Chief Health Officer These findings underscore the importance of comparing post-COVID-19 outcomes with those following other respiratory infections, and of further research into post-viral syndromes. Furthermore, we believe it is time to stop using terms like ‘long COVID’. They wrongly imply there is something unique and exceptional about longer term symptoms associated with this virus.

She repeatedly informed her superiors poor laboratory management patient safety concerns data integrity issues that drug assignment confirmation printouts were being left in participants’ charts, accessible to blinded personnel (later corrected) company wasn’t able to quantify the types and number of errors they were finding when examining the trial paperwork for quality control ICON, the contract research organisation https://www.iconplc.com/services/clinical-research-services/data-management/?creative=528047015643&keyword=small%20clinical%20research%20organizations&matchtype=b&network=g&device=c&campaignid=6471798703&adgroupid=124362508020&feeditemid=54055202224&adposition=&gclid=CjwKCAjwz5iMBhAEEiwAMEAwGB-tlgJ18Rir0V_YfW6YdQNvt33JmuRwwwZiAkL22Zh99BWJbYLb2xoCWKUQAvD_BwE ICON then highlighted over 100 outstanding queries older than three days Worries over FDA inspection Concerns raised Participants placed in a hallway after injection and not being monitored by clinical staff Lack of timely follow-up of patients who experienced adverse events Protocol deviations not being reported Vaccines not being stored at proper temperatures Mislabelled laboratory specimens Targeting of Ventavia staff for reporting these types of problems.

Thai vaccine heart complications
Cardiovascular Effects of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Adolescents Uploaded 16-08-22 https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202208.0151/v1 Study focuses on cardiovascular effects, particularly myocarditis and pericarditis events, after BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine injection, in Thai adolescents, 13 to 18, both sexes This prospective cohort study, students from two schools aged 13–18 years, who received the second dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine. All healthy and without any abnormal symptoms before receiving the second dose of vaccine. Data collected Demographics Symptoms Vital signs ECG, echocardiography Cardiac enzymes Collected at baseline, Day 3, Day 7, and Day 14 N = 314 Analysis, n = 301 Cardiovascular effects Found in 29.24% of patients, ranging from tachycardia, palpitation, and myopericarditis. Most common cardiovascular effects Tachycardia, 7.64% Shortness of breath, 6.64% Palpitation, 4.32% Chest pain, 4.32% Hypertension, 3.99% Abnormal ECG finding, 54 patients (17.94%) Seven participants (2.33%) (all male) At least one elevated cardiac biomarker or positive lab assessments Myopericarditis Confirmed in one patient after vaccination. Two patients had suspected pericarditis Four patients had suspected subclinical myocarditis Three patients had minimal pericardial effusion Myocarditis and Sudden Cardiac Death in the Young https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.693085 Myocarditis accounts for up to 20% of sudden cardiac deaths in young adults. During the follow-up period, (14 days) After receiving the second dose of vaccine, two patients were hospitalized, one patient was supervised in the ICU during hospitalization, (mainly for observation of arrhythmia). Conclusion The clinical presentation of myopericarditis after vaccination was usually mild, with all cases fully recovering within 14 days. Hence, adolescents receiving mRNA vaccines should be monitored for side effects. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05288231 Incidence, risk factors, natural history, and hypothesised mechanisms of myocarditis and pericarditis following covid-19 vaccination: living evidence syntheses and review https://www.bmj.com/content/378/bmj-2021-069445 Male adolescents and male young adults are at the highest risk of myocarditis after an mRNA vaccination. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/index.html Vaccines for COVID-19 COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and free.

Even in my case as a physician who has received three doses and one infection just 6 months ago. The rule is that if the last vaccination is more than one year and/or the last infection is more than 6 months ago you either have to test all 72 hours or to get an additional vaccine dose; if not you are at risk of having to pay 500 to 3600 Euros and may even get fired.
