Many interesting facets reveal themselves as we progress through the covid-19 narrative, three of which we will touch on today.

  • Aspiration and possible vaccine health issues based on incorrect application
  • Johnson & Johnson ethical legitimacy and possible bankruptcy
  • Are imperfect vaccines making the strains stronger?

Let’s start with aspiration, a method of vaccine application, and why it’s important. When Covid-19 vaccines are administered to an individual they are meant to be intramuscular (IM) injections. This means the vaccine is injected into muscle. This differs from intravenous (IV) injections that are meant to be administered into the bloodstream. Since injections happen under the skin and are, therefore “hidden” from sight, a technique called aspirating is used to help identify where the injection location is taking place.

Aspiration is placing the needle through the skin of the patient, and drawing back on the syringe to see if blood is drawn up and into the syringe. If blood does end up in the syringe of intramuscular injection, health practitioners administering the injections should stop and start again with a fresh syringe. This is to ensure the vaccine ends up in the muscle and not the bloodstream.

Why is this important? Unfortunately, there is not enough data as to why. Various concerns are lacking scientific evaluation as to whether or not aspirating is a technique that benefits the patient. One thing that does seem consistent, is that aspirating makes the injection more painful. Therefore it has been recommended against when applying vaccines to children or teens. Because of the lack of scientific data, it is hard to come up with a conclusion. The current vaccine administration protocol does not make aspiration an important factor.

However, and we all love a good, however. One thing we are seeing in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which I think it is good to know is co-funded by the CDC, FDA & HHS, the same organizations that help push certain ideological truths about mandates and efficacy, is abnormal levels of inflammation of the heart (myocarditis) in individuals within the first 3 weeks of receiving the covid-19 vaccine. Levels were/are even higher after the second dose was administered and appear to be the highest in young men for reasons we are not yet aware of. The idea here is that maybe if the vaccines are being administered into the bloodstream instead of the muscle, then unknown issues could become apparent.

Studies are ongoing to determine if incorrect vaccine administration is a factor at play and with surprisingly high levels of negative effects after vaccination being reported, only time and further data will tell us to the real risks. It is hard to determine what might be the problem here because a lot of the issues we see presenting themselves are difficult to trace. Maybe incorrectly administered vaccines are causing health issues in people, however, there are surely many factors at play and without proper scientific data analysis and experimentation, our understanding gets a little foggy.

There could be other reasons why these issues are popping up. For example, there have been a lot of vaccine batches discarded, talking in the millions, due to incorrect storage or lab errors or foreign materials such as metal presenting themselves in batches. In Japan, they have put a hold on Moderna due to foreign objects being found in batches. We don’t yet know whether or not these objects are the cause of negative health effects.

It could also be said that a risk factor of injecting 6 billion people with anything is a bunch of random negative issues occurring, just like if you were to give 6 billion people a handful of peanuts to eat, I’m sure some of them would die. Individual humans vary greatly and we need more information before we can draw accurate conclusions.

I need to note here that I am not Anti-Vax, as if you care much in the first place about my medical opinion. I think you should do whatever you want and protect yourself as best you can in these unprecedented times.

Aspiration Conclusion

There may be a slight chance that incorrect vaccine application increases patients' chances of heart-related problems or other negative side effects. It might also be bad batches of the vaccines that are doing this. Why not ask, did the person administering my dose of the vaccine aspirate before injection? I’ve even heard stories of health practitioners refusing to aspirate when asked by patients before receiving their vaccine. And yes these may just be stories, that are very possible, but if there are no inherent risks associated why is it that health practitioners are sometimes refusing?

Johnson & Johnson

One of the largest drug companies in the world and the maker of the single-shot covid vaccine, not only has a possible bankruptcy case on its hand due to 40,000 claims in the past few years about their baby powder causing cancer in women but also made a handsome 12.9 billion dollars in pharmaceutical revenue this year. With 2.5 billion dollars in covid vaccine sales and estimated full-year revenue of over 90 billion dollars, you have to start contemplating the power of organizations just like this one.

Not because having lots of money makes you inherently corrupt. However, if you don’t know about J & J’s baby powder scandal then you might want to find out before you put your trust in the big pharma industry.

J & J are currently undergoing a bunch of lawsuits over the baby powder that has been sold for over a century. The Talcum-based baby powder they sold contained asbestos and has been linked to ovarian cancer. J&J has already dished out millions of dollars in settlements with over 4 billion dollars set aside for future lawsuits. The problem is that the talc powder contained asbestos, that thing your mother told you to stay away from your whole life. There isn’t much decisive evidence that talc caused cancer but the approach from J&J has been a little sneaky and disruptive. It’s the ass-covering campaign they embody that raises concern.

In 2019, J & J pulled some 30,000 bottles of talc from the market and discontinued the product even though they stand by the idea that it does not cause a problem. Some time long ago I heard of a story of J&J sending staff members dressed up as scientists to the doors of African-American women to panhandle the talc product and get rid of supplies, its a lovely conspiratorial view of the company and one that is hard to find a footing in. But it should be noted, that it isn’t the first time big pharma has lied to the faces of the public to maintain profit margins.

Also worth mentioning is the time MERCK (the creator of the new drug used to fight covid-19 by the name of Molnupiravir which let’s just say straight out seems to have the same function as Ivermectin but costs 10x as much) killed over 50,000 people and sent another 120,000+ to the hospital with severe conditions when they released their anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx (which was an adjusted aspirin) to the market.

Vaccine Hesitancy & Imperfect Vaccines

It's reasons such as these that people are sceptical and hesitant to take a vaccine in the first place. Especially when it has been created in such a short time frame with no understanding of the long-term effects of a virus that seriously threatens such a small percentage of people.

Even the creator of the mRNA technology, which was used to create two of the vaccines in use, Dr Robert Malone, has come out to say that this technology should not be used in the middle of a pandemic. mRNA technology is supposed to be used before a pandemic takes its foot in the world, and when a virus has already spread around the world the use of mRNA technology might even make the virus worse. The idea is that an imperfect vaccine being administered slowly to the population during a pandemic will only increase the virus's ability to mutate and adapt to the vaccine, creating stronger, more transmissible mutations in the virus.

This could be said for booster shots too. The roll-out of the third dose of a sub-optimal, imperfect vaccine might only speed up the mutations that the strains of this virus are already undergoing. Instead of making everyone protected and destroying covid-19, we might be the reason it is getting stronger.

It's a little confusing to me that we push these vaccines as if they are the words of God. I understand that they are probably a good defence for people with compromised immune systems and co-morbidities because you never know how an individual will react when they meet covid-19 for the first time. Especially for those that are not healthy or take a yearly flu jab or are at risk. However, the agenda to vaccinate the whole world based on what we know about the vaccine and the virus so far seems to me to be a state of confirmation bias and the IKEA effect combined. The IKEA effect is what happens when you go down a certain path and find it hard to veer or change course, not because you are inherently right but because you have put so much energy into the previous idea in the first place you have ended up valuing it over a path that might be better. Governments and news media outlets are only pushing a single narrative and to say otherwise is to be demonized. It's as if you can't even open up a discussion these days about the importance of some of the studies regarding vaccine efficacy and immunity. We are trapped in a one-world view and anyone that opposes it is considered a radicalized crazy person.

Is it so hard to understand that an individual acting of their own free will might be hesitant to inject themselves with something that has very little long-term data? This combined with the extremely low efficacy after 6 months, the high profits from big pharma companies and the lack of transparency when it comes to touching on important matters. Especially if this whole fuck up was caused by us in the first place, messing around with gain of function research and playing god. Why are people that want to discuss important topics being censored and blocked by social media companies and big tech? Why is no one seeing the stupidity of booster shots? Why do children need the vaccine when there have been so few serious cases in youth? Why do we still wear masks?

I can see both sides of the covid-coin and I think you have the right to make your own choices without anyone demanding you do one thing over the other. I don't know what the solutions are but for sure it starts with real conversations out in the open and being able to admit when we’re proven wrong. Often as we progress through this perpetual groundhog day things tend to become black or white, left or right, ones and zeros. But life is much more nuanced than that, it is often a thousand shades of grey, and as we progress through this virus war it’s imperative we can stay fluid to new data and insight.

Thanks again for coming to read what I have to say, I hope you enjoy it and you feel like it is worthy to be shared around. All the love in the world to each of you.
