“i get to have a face.
you do not.”
——————————————
Spring of 2020. Mere months before the Leader began censoring all perspectives that did not align with health department messaging, I wrote a concerned, fact-based letter to the editor challenging the mask campaign we were being bombarded with daily. Along with everything else Covid, I had been researching the effectiveness and dangers of masks intensively, and offered a counterpoint to the dominant narrative which was being parroted by neighbors and friends.
By that point, it was becoming increasingly obvious that the public was being lied to. Anthony Fauci, along with the CDC, had flip-flopped so often — and so much fear and anxiety had been generated around the “killer virus” — people were already falling into the mass delusional psychosis that we did not yet have a name for. (See my two prior articles here and here for an overview of the delusional state psychiatrists and psychologists have also called “mass formation”.)
The coordinated campaign being broadcast à la Orwell’s 1984 was already talking its toll, creating a level of hysteria resulting in the shattering of community bonds. “Generating fear that unmasked people are now a threat is one of the many ways communities are being fractured,” I wrote.
More and more letters were being published engaging in a new phenomenon: mask shaming. All of the letter writers echoed memes being promoted in the mainstream press. There was a carrot-and-stick combination of bogus feel-good soundbites like Your mask protects me, my mask protects you, alongside charges that anyone who didn’t comply was a potential murderer, not doing their part to help save lives.
The finger wagging ratcheted up over the months, with one writer opining that “to not wear [a mask] is selfish, irresponsible and sometimes deadly behavior.” The letter exemplified the kind of blaming and shaming that growing numbers of terrified residents were repeating to vilify those who challenged the narrative.
I had already experienced the schism developing in our community after writing privately to a few friends in an effort to initiate a conversation about the propaganda that was circulating. In response I received… nothing. No interest in discussing the issues, no debates, no response at all. Soon the mass psychosis would sanction removing discussion of any conflicting information from the public square entirely.
My letter to the editor, which focused on actual science, resulted in responses attacking my position for weeks afterwards. Some letters simply repeated media slogans. Some were outraged and angry assaults. One old friend (and a current Board of Health member) tersely dismissed my reference to harms from masks well-established in the medical literature as “ludicrous”. People I didn’t know, as well as decades-old friends, called my perspective “dangerous”.
In nearly half a century here, I’d never been so harshly attacked in this community. The certitude and righteousness were off the charts.
Not a single response addressed the substance of my letter — meta-analysis reviews of research showing that masks do not stop the transmission of viruses, and evidence that, in fact, masks themselves create health risks. Those two aspects of this most fractious divide are incontrovertible and will be examined in future parts of this series.
But this first part is an exploration of an element not addressed in my letter two years ago: the devastating mental, emotional and psychological repercussions of a masked populace.
Not protective, but a good reminder to be afraid of human contact
Concurrent with my letter, a May 2020 perspective published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) regarding universal masking in the Covid-19 era acknowledged: “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection.” A month earlier, a meta-analysis review of the most relevant studies of laboratory and real-world performance of masks by the University of Illinois Chicago School of Public Health had come to the same conclusion:
“We do not recommend requiring the general public who do not have symptoms of COVID-19-like illness to routinely wear cloth or surgical masks… There is no scientific evidence they are effective in reducing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.”
Masks, however, were proving to be a great tool for prompting people to be anxious and fearful. The NEJM authors suggested that even though they didn’t stop the spread of Covid, there was ancillary value in public masking:
“Masks are visible reminders of an otherwise invisible yet widely prevalent pathogen and may remind people of the importance of social distancing and other infection-control measures.”
So masking was really a visual cue to keep the public in a state of anxiety over the invisible virus. Masks reminded us that fellow humans were not safe to be around, that we needed to remember at all times that a deadly virus was in our midst and to fear any contact with one another. While the NEJM authors opined, “one might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask,” that sensible voice was drowned out by more powerful forces driving the narrative.
The greater the fear and anxiety generated, the more demoralized a population, and the more easily the masses can be manipulated and controlled. For the global “leaders” and institutions calling the shots, the opportunity to further enhance their power was too good to pass up.
Dehumanizing society
The masking of our faces was arguably the most dehumanizing aspect of the Covid mass hypnosis.
Mental, emotional and psychic damage, especially to our children, has been incalculable. In addition to generating fear of invisible pathogens and fellow humans, masking is known historically to be an effective element of torture programs.

Prisoners at U.S. facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
It’s long been recognized that both isolation and masking are tools of sensory deprivation. For decades, CIA “enhanced interrogation” experts have employed the forced wearing of surgical masks to increase discomfort while undergoing torture, to break a prisoner’s will.
The military has learned that if an enemy combatant looks different than a soldier, it’s 40% easier for the soldier not to feel things like fear, compassion, empathy and other human emotions. If the combatant has a face covering, it’s 60% more difficult to connect with that person. That’s just how we are wired.
Long before it was marketed as a talisman of safety and virtue, the mask was a symbol of subservience. It removes individuality, depersonalizes, and denotes submission.
The photo at the top of this article and the quote below it — I get to have a face. You do not. — comes from the piercing, insightful Bad Cattitude post Your Mask Ennobles Me / public health as a pretext for hierarchical validation. While the delighted adults all beam for the camera, you tell me if a single one of those children’s eyes are smiling.
“Masks are signs of subjugation. They dehumanize. They alienate.”
Bad Cattitude examines the hypocrisy we have seen repeatedly throughout this pandemic response. As universal masking was implanted into the mass psyche, a component of class privilege began to emerge.
Rules for thee, not for me: political theater
The ruling class demanded the plebes comply with a set of rules that did not apply to them. We saw politicians, corporate bigwigs and celebrities—thought leaders—put on a show of covering their faces for public displays while gathering in their private enclaves without masks or social distancing. There were the hot mic gaffes of public figures when they thought the cameras weren’t rolling, chuckling about how masking is just “political theater”.

When she thinks she is not being recorded, Pennsylvania state rep. Wendy Ullman tells Gov. Tom Wolf that her mask is just for show: “I’m waiting [to take it off] so we can do a little political theater (laughs)…
So, that it’s on camera.”
A recent PTPF Facebook post notes that Port Townsend Mayor David Faber and most of the city council are still perpetuating this political theater.
“City Council Mask Rituals. Before city council meetings begin, people mingle without masks. When the meeting is called to order, all city councilors… and staff put on masks. But people who testify and attend don’t wear masks. Sometimes the masks come off when staff talks, then go back on. City Councilor Amy Howard wears a mask when alone during Zoom meetings. These are the people in charge of Port Townsend.”

Masks Off / Masks On – Port Townsend City Council Meeting, 3-21-22
Top: City Manager John Mauro chats with attendees just a few feet away, bare-faced, before the meeting starts.
Middle: The meeting officially begins; Mauro (seated at left, now distanced) puts on his mask and joins the theater.
Bottom: City Councillors protecting the public or virtue signalling?
Bad Cattitude calls this “performative virtue signaling.” And he points out the even more blatant hypocrisy of elites openly dispensing with their own face coverings in staged photo ops while requiring the workers around them, the lower class, to be masked for the camera. He says:
“Masks are not about public health.
Masks are about hierarchy.
They not only represent a high visibility in-group/out-group tribal marker, but they have wonderous potential as a form of separating the powerful from the powerless, the nobles from the commoners, the dictators from the dictated to.
It has become the opiate of the classes.”

This class stratification appears to be in full display in Jefferson County. A friend having dinner at a popular local cafe following the lifting of the mask directive was disturbed to see that while diners had faces, all the staff remained masked. She asked the owner Why?
“It makes the customers more comfortable,” was the reply.
Do some of those customers feel elevated by this “opiate of the classes” as the post suggests? The mass psychosis persists and some folks genuinely remain petrified that an unmasked person can kill them… but then why are all the bare-faced diners around them not dangerous? Is the working class whose livelihoods depend on their patronage the new unclean caste?
Teaching compliance
Most chilling is the imposition of this madness on our children. Bad Cattitude believes it to be another power play by those in control, contending that the subjugation, dehumanizing and alienation caused by masks are “WHY they are so attractive to so many.”
“This is why forcing them on kids to dominate them and force them into compliance with state over self or even parents is such a high priority goal for those that have collectivist plans for their futures. It establishes precisely who is in charge.”
Masks exemplify the number one demand of the Covid era: COMPLIANCE. The plebes have been divided into the compliant (good) and the non-compliant (bad). Children have little choice in the matter.
Kids in Head Start, for example. While authoritarian rulemakers are free to enjoy unmasked lives, the federal government mandates that millions of 2- to 5-year-old children in Head Start programs wear masks. As in the featured photo at top, the privileged think nothing of shamelessly flaunting that they “get to have a face” while the children they tower over do not.
Bad Cattitude unpacks this staged photo op with Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams at an elementary school in Atlanta. Again, how many smiling children’s eyes do you see in this picture?

“Stacey Abrams is pro mask and pro vaxx mandate. And yet here she sits, the only one in the photo with a face… She does not believe a word of her own rules. It did not even occur to her how this might look…
Imagine what these experiences are teaching children about their place in the world and their relationship to authority figures.”
Then there are those situations with children where adults are also masked. That, too, is highly damaging, especially for our youngest in the critical early stages of development. It’s taken two years for the fallout to be so blatantly obvious that even the mainstream press is asking “How long will we continue to torture kids?” In the NY Post’s opinion piece, Making kids wear masks in school is torture, not safety, their Editorial Board writes:
“Doctors and psychologists are just beginning to study the effects of mask-wearing on kids, but the early signs aren’t good. Younger children in particular are missing facial cues and social development…
Democrats have tried to gaslight Americans by saying that masks are not an inconvenience, and anyone who suggests otherwise is a murderer…
Panic has replaced common sense.”
Damaging a generation of kids
Beyond terrorizing kids with fear that if they don’t mask they might kill Grandma, cognitive decline caused by masks has led to normalizing lowered standards for development. Autism specialist and certified speech-language pathologist Maija C. Hahn writes, Instead of Admitting Mask Mandates Harm Kids, CDC Lowers Expectations for Speech Development. Whereas children over the age of two typically have mastered significant vocabularies, she says, the updated CDC guidance states that a two-and-a-half-year-old child is now expected to say only 50 words.
“I am appalled the CDC would quietly lower long-held pediatric language expectations by normalizing significant language delays as “the new normal.”
Hahn says that special needs kids have been so severely impeded by mask mandates that they could be set back “for a lifetime of therapy.” But all children are suffering from the damage:
“The CDC’s mask mandates have severely affected an entire generation of American children and we are just now beginning to see the long-term consequences. Kids who were born in the era of COVID-19, have no idea what a world without masks is — we should expect to see even greater speech and language deficits in these children in the coming months and years.”
In October of 2020, a German university set up an online registry for parents, doctors, teachers and others to record the side effects of masking children that they observed. In less than a week, data on nearly 26,000 children had been recorded. From the article First results of a Germany-wide registry on mouth and nose covering (mask) in children:
“The average wearing time of the mask was 270 minutes per day. Impairments caused by wearing the mask were reported by 68% of the parents. These included irritability (60%), headache (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), less happiness (49%), reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44%), malaise (42%) impaired learning (38%) and drowsiness or fatigue (37%).”
Psychiatrist Mark McDonald, M.D., author of United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis, sent a letter to his patients in February banning child masking in his practice. Forcing kids to mask, he says, is child abuse.
“My first ethical responsibility as a physician is to do no harm to my patients, and allowing children to mask their faces has caused and continues to cause tremendous harm to them physically, emotionally, psychologically and developmentally. Any argument to the contrary is naive and irrational.”
——————————————

——————————————
“Masks… may not leave physical scars (although they often result in painful skin infections that can lead to permanent facial disfigurement),” says Dr. McDonald, “but they do cause significant and possibly permanent damage to a child’s brain, retarding speech and language development, crippling social skills, and inciting a vicious cycle of emotional dysregulation leading to major depression, self-harm, and substance abuse. We would never allow someone to do this to our children directly, so why do we condone it through the vehicle of a facemask?”

In his post, Masking Children is Child Abuse, psychiatrist McDonald adds:
“Since children began wearing masks at school, on the athletic field, in airplanes—essentially everywhere outside the home—I have seen a significant decline in their ability to make eye contact, speak clearly, and initiate face-to-face communication with other human beings. Emotional resilience has dramatically declined. Children have become dull and slow in their thinking.”
In Port Townsend, the irrational masking of children continues in our schools. The lifting of mandates created a mix of the masked and unmasked, leading to teachers at the high school talking of segregating the two groups and even of arbitrarily forcing students to remain masked. On March 11th, a group of Port Townsend parents wrote an urgent letter to the district’s superintendent, principal and board after learning about this from their kids.
“Many students said their teachers stated they ‘can make students wear masks if they choose to.’ Also stated was if there was a shortage of desks [unmasked] kids would be forced to sit on the floor.” (Parents Appeal to PT Schools: Are Students Facing Mask Segregation?, PTPF 3-12-22)
The mask theater, penalizing those who do not comply, also extends to school staff. There is pressure being applied to require unvaxxed teachers to continue masking, a source told us: “Despite the mandate being lifted, the PT School District is trying to bully non-vaxxed teachers into wearing masks still.” It is undisputed that the shots are a dismal failure in stopping Covid’s transmission, yet we see another message to students (and teachers) that the non-compliant will be persecuted.
Mask measures are not and have never been about public health. This is an exercise in social engineering — rewarding compliance, punishing outliers, and conditioning the masses to obey authority.
And “with the advent of the mask craze, mental illness is no longer invisible in the public space,” says Dr. McDonald. “What was once reserved for only a psychiatrist’s ears is now on flagrant display to any citizen with eyes to see it.”
Dealing with No-Mask Anxiety
After two years of this insanity, we are really in a bind. Not only has the disastrous global response to Covid traumatized a generation of children, but now a significant portion of the public have anxiety about being UNmasked.
The mental health team at Good Therapy tells us this psyop has been so successful that according to the American Psychological Association, “nearly half of Americans admit they have concerns about resuming in-person interactions.” They are afraid to bare their faces again. They have a newly-coined mental issue, “no-mask anxiety”:
“No-mask anxiety is a condition where people are scared about the prospect of taking off their masks in public.”
They “feel uneasy when they themselves don’t wear a face covering, and they can also be uncomfortable around others who are not wearing masks.” These are the folks who were so successfully brainwashed by the narrative, the mask is now their security blanket. Believing that masks protect against viruses, they remain in a state of fear and anxiety over the invisible threat.
Dr. McDonald notes that many adults in his psychiatric practice are beyond anxious, they are literally addicted to hiding behind face coverings:
“In my adult patient population, many have developed a fear addiction. I strongly encourage them to remove facemasks whenever possible, including when visiting my office, as a necessary first step in overcoming this fear addiction.”
In a post just this week — Masking the problem / once the needle goes in, it never comes out — Bad Cattitude discusses a segment of maskers so dependent on this fetish, they are equivalent to alcoholics or drug addicts. Those with untreated “social anxiety disorder” have gotten hooked on covering their faces.
“The anxious, agoraphobic, neurotic, and OCD have always been with us and always been among us… They hate being out in public and interacting with people.” Or they fear “disease or dirt” to such an extent, they engage in “extreme hygiene.”
Conditioning the public to believe masks represent safety, virtue, and societal duty provided a socially sanctioned way to alleviate some of that anxiety. “They could do what they wanted but had always feared to do because what had been low status behavior was suddenly elevated to high status.” Continuing the drug addiction analogy Bad Cattitude warns, “The needle went in. Getting it back out will not be easy for these folks.”
He addresses the current conversation about how to respond to people who demand that for their peace of mind others around them also wear masks. Is perpetuating paranoia or mental instability a kindness? Some provocative thoughts regarding the mask addicted:
“No one would feel like they were being respectful if an alcoholic asked them to ‘just get drunk with me, it makes me feel comfortable.’
Doing so would have bad outcomes.
Well, so does ‘just mask up with me, it makes me feel comfortable.’
People try to spin this as ‘being respectful of the needs of others’ and ‘just be considerate, just be kind’ but it’s not. It’s giving tequila to a drunk…
Imposing peer pressure to drink upon an alcoholic is abhorrent. But that is exactly what the mask enablers and alleged allies here are doing to the mask addicted.
I know it sounds cruel, but really, the best thing you can do for these people is to help them keep their sobriety.”
Are local businesses who require their staff to remain faceless because it makes even unmasked customers “more comfortable” sanctioning abuse and discrimination of the working class? Does indulging irrational patrons’ fears help them… or just reinforce the mass psychosis?

Whether out of fear of lost business or out of perceived kindness, those enabling this madness are giving power to a perverse lie.
At what cost, kindness? Architects of this insanity like Fauci and Gates promise us the next virus is just around the corner. By indulging paranoia, mask anxiety/dependence/addiction, or any other form of mask-related mental illness today, the pump is primed for even greater mania the next go-round.
This has been a psyop—”a psychological operation,” in military parlance, “designed to influence the perceptions and attitudes of individuals, groups, and foreign governments.” In this case, the psyop has been worldwide, using relentless information warfare to undermine the morale and will of humanity, local to global.

“I’m going to continue to mask,
I’m going to continue to distance.
It’s just not safe out there.”
Public Comment, 2-14-22 BOCC meeting
————————————
What will it take to break the mass delusional psychosis perpetrated on the public? For thousands of years humans have known safety and comfort in sharing smiles and facial expressions, handshakes and hugs. We are wired to find pleasure in open faces and physical closeness, to depend on visual cues and nurturing touch for critical social and emotional development… and to be afraid of dehumanized faces that are masked and expressionless.
Two solid years of a relentless fear campaign has worked on rewiring those innate responses. A devastatingly effective crusade by pharma-captured regulatory agencies, legacy media, increasingly totalitarian government and the healthcare industry has stripped humanity of these basic human needs, substituting shock and awe in a new medical tyranny that has turned our world upside down. In its wake is a collective brainwashing that will not be easily undone.
Draconian measures are lifting around the world as increasing numbers of U.S. states and nations recognize that masks are useless, that social distancing made no difference in viral spread, that the vaxxed are actually more vulnerable to Omicron than the unvaxxed, and that Omicron poses less risk of death than the flu. However despite the Covid narrative continuing to crumble, what psychologists liken to a hypnotic spell keeps the traumatized masses still living in terror of a virus with a 99.8% survival rate. Fear of human contact, of the air we breathe, and of other life is normalized in this spell.
Jefferson County looks to be among the last holdouts for the mass delusion.
On Monday, February 14, a Port Townsend resident demonstrated this psychosis in a public comment to county commissioners at their weekly board meeting:
“We need to do more. We need to do better. We need to bring this thing under control and take stronger measures, not loosen restrictions that are gonna just make more people sick…
“I’m going to continue to mask, I’m going to continue to distance and stay away from any kind of gathering and concentrated groups. It’s just not safe out there, and anything you do that makes it less safe, is not okay.”
Our frightened neighbor might benefit from reading the January 2022 Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality published by Johns Hopkins University. “Lockdowns are defined as the imposition of at least one compulsory, non-pharmaceutical intervention,” like masking, physical distancing, bans on public gatherings, and school closures. In a systematic, thorough review of 18,590 studies looking at Covid restrictions across the globe over the last two years, 24 qualified as meeting stringent eligibility requirements for inclusion. An analysis of each of those 24 studies concluded that “lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality.” The review confirms that all the measures inflicted on global populations have been for naught:
“Lockdowns in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average.”
A finding of 0.2% is statistically insignificant. And the many studies demonstrating the medical, psychological, social, and economic harms from these measures turn that minuscule fraction of a positive percentage point into a colossal negative. Not only have restrictions been for naught, they have caused far more harm than good. As the Johns Hopkins review notes:
“While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
Nonetheless, those under the spell may never feel safe again unless these damaging policies—even “stronger”—are continued in perpetuity.
Dr. Byram Bridle, PhD, a Canadian professor of viral immunology, recently spoke to this phenomenon at a press conference in Ottawa:

“Once you have everybody so scared—we’ve seen the fear of Omicron, which is no worse for the vast majority of people than a bad cold… adults here in Ottawa, they’re actually scared of the snow in Ottawa. Do you know why? Because there are so many unvaccinated people that surely we must be contaminating the snow with massive quantities of SARS-CoV-2 and the snow is going to kill them. And I’m serious, they are requesting that government officials start testing the snowbanks in Ottawa.”
Sound crazy? That same irrationality is evident in our community. A Port Townsend NextDoor post worried that deer are spreading Covid. Fifteen states had documented Omicron infections in whitetail deer. There is no evidence that the animals can spread it to humans. But the brainwashed fearful sound the watch-out-for-deer! alarm, much as they demonize healthy people as super-spreaders when all evidence shows asymptomatic transmission is a myth.
Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Alexander, PhD, also spoke at the Ottawa press conference. Former Covid pandemic advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO), Alexander and a team of global scientists have published over 500 scientific papers on these policies. The WHO conducted a focused study on asymptomatic transmission. Alexander called out the disinformation that healthy people spread the virus, used to justify lockdowns:

“This issue about asymptomatic transmission—that was rare. That was a lie. We studied it, we looked at it… We knew the study out of China published in Lancet very early in 2020 that showed us that out of a 10 million sample they found that of all of the [Covid] positive persons that moved around—and they looked at all of the contacts—that there was NO asymptomatic transmission. So we understood this virus very clearly, very early on… This asymptomatic transmission was bogus.”
Dr. Bridle agreed:
“We have drilled into peoples’ heads that somehow healthy people are carriers of these deadly pathogens, they’re going to kill other people. If that’s what you believe, we are never going to be able to de-mask or stop the physical distancing ever again for the rest of our lives. And I’m afraid people are actually wanting to take us there.”
Masking is perhaps the most overt example of the psychosis that has gripped so much of our populace. Not only is our fearful neighbor at the beginning of this article “going to continue to mask… continue to distance,” he admonishes the commissioners that if they allow masking and other restrictions to be lifted for the rest of us, that “is not okay,”
Epidemiology advisor Paul Alexander expounded on masks, referring back to his experience working for the WHO:
“We looked at masking… I am considered an expert on these Covid masks. Blue surgical masks and white masks, they are utter garbage. They have always been ineffective… they have never worked. Never. And they are actually very toxic; they have toxic particles in them. Toxic to our children… I looked at 150 studies that show the masks are ineffective. They just do not work. Period.”
Corroborating assertions by Alexander and other doctors and scientists that facemasks provide no benefit, a comprehensive examination of data has resulted in the just-published “UNMASKED: the Global Failure of Covid Mask Mandates.”

From the book jacket:
Since early 2020, masks have been promoted by experts and implemented as mandates by politicians in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19…but a thorough examination of the data shows they’ve failed.
Looking “at data from all over the world, from the granular county level to entire countries,” author Ian Miller concludes: “Despite extraordinary worldwide compliance, the mask experiment resulted in an unequivocal failure.”
New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz writes: “Ian’s work has been essential throughout the pandemic. His charts have provided the kind of clarity sorely lacking in dissecting the COVID-19 data. Unmasked will elevate the conversation and hopefully, make sure we don’t make any of the same mistakes ever again.”
But at the February 14 BOCC meeting Commissioner Greg Brotherton demonstrated his brainwashing:
“Masks are effective… Are we going to incorporate them in the way that Asia has before this?… Masks are never completely going away, I don’t think.”
Brotherton parrots Jefferson/Clallam County Health Officer Dr. Allison Berry’s disinformation that masking is keeping us safe. In the Feb. 10 Peninsula Daily News (PDN) article “Region’s health officer warns of lifting mask mandates too soon,” Berry contends state mandates should not be lifted in early April: “If we revoke our mitigation measures too soon as a community and as a state, we will prolong this surge.” Her arbitrary pronouncements continue. We will be unsafe if we lift mandates over the next couple of months, but if we wait until her predicted time it will be “very safe:”
“If we kept masking through May for June, I think it would be very safe to revoke the mandate then.”
————————————
The third medical expert at the table in Ottawa, Cambridge-trained pathologist Dr. Roger Hodkinson, MD, expanded on masking and the other measures imposed on a fearful public:

“Masks – to put it in the vernacular, you cannot stop a mosquito with a chain link fence. It’s absurd.
“Social distancing – this condition is spread by aerosols, not by droplets, so it can be in the aisle at Walmart that no one else is in and you’re still going to get it. Social distancing makes no sense whatsoever…
“But more than anything, lockdowns… it has created the most incredible carnage around the world… it’s physical, it’s mental, it’s psychological, and it’s also economic. It’s affected every single person on earth for a situation basically no worse than a bad seasonal flu. Yes, some variations, obviously. But if this problem had been handled in the usual way, as we’ve done with other viral pandemics, and simply done nothing but accommodate to it in practical ways, common sense… this would have all been over within six months….”
In addition to advising WHO during the early stages of the pandemic, epidemiologist Alexander was a senior advisor to the White House at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He was an insider witness to horrifying data withheld from the public:
“I was in the administration… You saw Trump fighting daily with his own task force because he tried to open the society and open schools. Because we were getting the data to show that the lockdowns were killing people. The school closures were killing children, they were causing children to commit suicide. We saw the failures…. lockdowns have killed thousands of people beyond the virus.
“We were getting reports on a daily basis from the states and winding it up to the Oval [office]… that little children 8, 9, 10 years old were found hung in their bedrooms. They committed suicide because of the school closures and lockdowns… the legacy media decided that they would hide that information from the public.”
Viral immunologist Bridle worried that the fear narrative and brainwashing over the last two years has set us up for a short hop to accepting these destructive policies as necessary for other common viruses in our midst:
“The flu can actually kill our children in much greater numbers than SARS-CoV-2 ever will. I was using that argument to try and put SARS-CoV-2 into a relevant clinical context. I actually stopped that because I started getting quite scared that I could see what’s going to happen — they’re going to start flipping the narrative. They’re gonna start using the flu to institute all of this stuff. It’s a very small step to take in that direction… when you understand the depth of the fear that people have had drilled into their head about Omicron, it is a small step to start convincing them ‘You know what? Whoops. We never saw how deadly dangerous the flu actually was.’
“We lived with the flu. There was a certain quality of life that we accepted despite the fact that some people die with it. But now we’ve had this attitude that we can’t have any infectious disease that we don’t want to have deaths with. People can die from cancers and all kinds of other things that we’re not going to pay proper attention to right now. But all they have to do is start turning the focus on the flu…
Dr. Bridle offered a useful illustration of how we are being played:
“If we put the spotlight on the flu, it would begin to look very scary. Put on the ticker tape over the news all the time — Here’s another case. Here’s another case. Think about it. When your kids are in school, it starts out with one kid. Next day it’s three kids. Next day there’s ten. And then it’s infiltrated ten homes. And then it’s in the surrounding classrooms. It spreads like wildfire.
“Being contagious is not necessarily a problem. That’s what they’ve tried to scare us with. Omicron definitely is contagious. But it is not particularly dangerous. And this is typical of these kinds of viruses. If a virus wants to live with us for a long period of time, it doesn’t want to kill its host. It wants to infect as many of us as possible and keep us alive. Ideally the situation for a virus is that it causes no harm whatsoever; we happily co-exist. And Omicron is taking us in that direction.”
In a PDN poll, readers were asked “Will you feel safe enough to go indoors without a mask if/when the state removes its mandate?” At the time of this screen shot on February 15th, 934 readers had responded. If the poll results accurately reflect our communities, nearly half have bought into the madness, fearful that taking off the masks will be unsafe.

Will you feel safe enough to go indoors without a mask if/when the state removes its mandate?
Why do so many still buy into the narrative?
Crediting Belgian Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet and American medical doctor and psychiatrist Mark McDonald, renowned cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough describes the genesis of the mass psychosis that continues to persist:
“A mass psychosis is when there is a group think that develops that’s so strong that it leads to something horrific—examples are these mass suicides that occur in religious cults… Nazi Germany when people walked into gas chambers and were gassed…”
Four conditions must be met:
- “There must be a period of prolonged isolation. Lockdowns.”
- “There must be a withdrawal of things taken away from people that they used to enjoy. That’s happened.”
- “There must be constant, free-floating anxiety.”
- “There must be a single solution, offered by an entity in authority.”
Psychology professor Mattias Desmet elaborates:
“For instance, a narrative is distributed which says there is a very dangerous virus and that we should go into lockdown. If these four conditions are met then there might be an extremely extraordinary willingness to participate in the strategy of the lockdowns even when the narrative in itself is absolutely absurd. When people start to participate all together in the strategy to deal with the object of anxiety, a new kind of social bond, and a new meaning-making emerges.”
Psychiatrist Mark McDonald, MD, author of United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis, explains further:
“The fuel is fear. We cannot become mass delusionally psychotic without first being scared. The fear has been the driver behind this pandemic from the very beginning. Without fear, it all falls apart… An entire group, an entire population which is the American people, all at the same time, losing their rational faculties. Being unable to think, acting as a herd…
“It’s been the fear driven by government, corporations and the media all colluding together to perpetuate the mass delusional psychosis… The endpoint of this is the same as for every totalitarian regime throughout the 20th century—dependency on government. Once people depend on government, then they don’t depend on their families, they don’t depend on their churches, they don’t depend on their communities.”

Dr. Hodkinson describes the techniques “by which you can break even the most hardened terrorist in Guantanamo Bay”:
“You drive fear. And you keep it on. Fear, driven by the morning graph in the paper. The PCR graph with so-called cases… the vast percentage, 97% or so, were false positives. And that’s what drove fear. That’s what drove contact tracing. That’s what destroyed restaurants…
“And then isolation, otherwise known as quarantine. Keep people separated. Don’t let them talk to each other.
“You break anyone with those methods.”
Now those in our midst who are driven by fear cannot let down their guard. For them, humanity has become the virus: “It’s just not safe out there.”
They will mask and distance and insist that we need more restrictions that do not make a whit of difference against these viruses.
Directives that only serve to make us afraid of human contact, of pets and wildlife—even snow. Policies designed to create anxiety, discord and alienation. Mandates that ultimately divide us into believers versus non-believers of a false narrative.
The mass delusional psychosis demands it.

——————————
I’ve just recovered from the Omicron variant of Covid. Because common Covid tests do not determine which variant a person has contracted, my supposition that I had Omicron is based on my symptoms and experience. That, and the CDC’s data tracker showing that as of early January more than 95% of reported Covid cases were due to the Omicron variant.
Health officer Dr. Allison Berry mirrors that pronouncement:
“At this point, in our community, it is reasonable to assume that if you are diagnosed with COVID-19 that it is most likely Omicron. That is far and away the majority variant that we are seeing in our region at this time.”
Based on reports from cases in the US, South Africa and UK, there are eight common symptoms of Omicron:
- Scratchy throat
- Lower back pain
- Runny nose/congestion
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Sneezing
- Night sweats
- Body aches
Sounds like a glorified cold, doesn’t it? A flu at worst.
That’s because none of the scary deep lung issues we’ve seen with other versions of Covid occur with Omicron. “Study suggests omicron symptoms more mild due to less lung damage”:
”A consortium of researchers from America and Japan released a study last month revealing Omicron causes less damaging effects on the lungs, nose and throat.” This variant results in a lower viral burden in upper respiratory systems, “making its viral load and replication in those tracts milder and thus less damaging.”
The reality of what some are calling Omicold is so upsetting to pharma’s narrative, our health officer has had to spin a new version of her danger requires compliance tale in order to maintain her twin objectives: keeping her subjects in terror of the virus and demonizing the unvaxxed.
Unvaxxed now means un-boosted, says her latest narrative, and unless you keep topping up your shots, you will “overwhelm” our hospital, and quite possibly die. Boosted means you’re bulletproof and helping our hospital system.
Spin doctor Berry embellished her fanciful story during one of her recent Board of County Commissioner soliloquys:

“What we know about the Omicron variant is that it is incredibly infectious, it’s very, very transmissible, and it is a little bit less severe than the Delta variant…
The Omicron variant, if you are unvaccinated, is actually more severe than the original COVID virus. It is not the cold, it is not the flu. It can be very severe if you are not vaccinated. The good news when it comes to the Omicron variant is that if you are vaccinated we are seeing very, very low rates of severe disease. So the vaccines hold up really well at preventing hospitalization, at preventing death, the things that we want it to do. So if you are vaccinated, the probability that this will feel like a bad cold or the flu is high, which is important to know, because if you have the symptoms of having a cold, you need to get tested, because if you are vaccinated, that’s what Omicron would feel like. But if you are unvaccinated, it can still be incredibly severe, it can still lead to hospitalization and death, and given how transmissible it is, we are very likely to see an overwhelming of our hospital system again, just because of how transmissible it is and just the large enough proportion of our population—both in Jefferson and in our region as a whole—who are not vaccinated. So that can overwhelm our hospital systems even with a minimally less severe virus.
The other key thing to know is we are seeing a lot of reinfection. So if your only protection is prior infection, we’re seeing a lot of reinfection with Omicron and we are seeing a lot of breakthrough infection. So whereas a couple months ago if you were fully vaccinated you could feel pretty confident that you were unlikely to contract or spread COVID-19, that is no longer true. If you just have completed your series and not gotten your booster, then it is still very possible for you to contract and spread COVID-19. So the key thing to minimize that risk of spread to others is to get that booster.
The boosters are working really well. We’re seeing about 70% efficacy against any COVID-19 disease at all. So it’s a really key method for our community to reduce your risk of contracting COVID-19 and giving it to others. So, long story short, if you’re vaccinated, you’ve done a really important thing, you are still less likely to get COVID, and you are much less likely to get hospitalized or die, but the really key step to take now is to get the booster, to make you less likely to get COVID and to give it to others. And if you are unvaccinated, the Omicron variant is not a cold, it’s not the flu, it can be incredibly severe, it can cause you to get hospitalized or die, and that can overwhelm our system. And so we are really encouraging anyone who has not yet gotten vaccinated to do so.”
Berry’s incessant fear-mongering and finger-wagging at the non-compliant to get the shot continues. Never mind that sources inside our hospital tell us that two-thirds of those hospitalized are jabbed. According to our health officer, only if you’ve obeyed her and kept up on your shots will Omicron be no more than a pesky cold. If not, you’re in for an “incredibly severe” ride. This flight of fancy—where the inconsiderate unvaxxed are clogging up hospitals with worse-than-the-original-virus! Omicron and dying, while the dutiful fully-fully-fully vaxxed and boosted have smooth sailing—bears no resemblance to reality.
As Stephen Schumacher commented at the Jan. 10th Board of County Commissioners meeting:
“Good news! The Omicold variant is sweeping the country with mild cold symptoms and zero death so far nationwide, bestowing robust natural immunity wherever it goes, obviating any rationale for getting on the vaccine booster crazy train… some have called it God’s vaccine.”
Not a single verified U.S. Omicron death
The truth is that not a single person in the U.S. has died from the Omicron variant. Not one American fatality has been verified, vaxxed or unvaxxed, despite it being “incredibly infectious”, causing an historic spike in cases around the world. No Omicron deaths have occurred among even those in their nineties who have four, five or six co-morbidities.
While the pharma-controlled media have beaten the bushes to find a poster child in support of their desperate narrative, the report that “the first American to die of the Omicron variant was an unvaccinated Texas man,” was swiftly debunked as yet another grasping at straws. The man did not die FROM the virus, he tested positive for Omicron and died WITH it.

4-minute video putting a sharp point on the media’s lockstep with the pharma agenda to convince the public that being unvaxxed means risking death.
Where have we heard that before?
But how can drunk-on-power health authorities keep the public on the vaccine booster crazy train if the vast majority of Covid cases are now akin to a cold or flu?
Berry tells us that data out of the U.K. shows that:
“Omicron is 20% less severe than the Delta variant, but you have to remember that the Delta variant was 50% more severe than the original COVID virus. So the Omicron variant, if you are unvaccinated, is actually more severe than the original COVID virus.”
Think about those mental gymnastics. A virus that no one has died from, which generally presents as a cold, is now “actually more severe” than one that has caused tens to hundreds of thousands of deaths, depending on the narrative you subscribe to. (Even CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is now admitting that Covid death numbers have been grossly inflated by the “dying WITH Covid” sleight of hand: “The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least 4 co-morbidities,” she said.)
Yes, Omicron is “very, very transmissible.” On Jan. 11, FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock told a Senate committee, “It’s hard to process what’s actually happening right now, which is, most people are going to get COVID.”
That is actually good news for creating herd or community immunity because highly infectious Omicron is generally benign. Just like the common cold. It is typically described as being a bit worse than a cold, but less than a flu. And once you’ve had it, chances are you’ve got strong immunity to all Covid variants going forward.
In the Express article “Over 70s Ten Times Less Likely to Die from Covid than Last Year,” U.K. Professor Anthony Brooks, who compiled research based on National Health Statistics reports, says Covid no longer poses a threat to “the vast majority of people.”

“Infected individuals are at dramatically less risk of becoming seriously ill or dying than a year ago… Omicron is about 4-fold less dangerous – it’s like nature’s vaccine.” [source]
Boosters failing against Omicron
As for the “boosters are working really well” claim, that’s more Berry pie in the sky.
According to the CEO of BioNTech, Pfizer’s partner in the ubiquitous Pfizer-BNT162b2 jab, “3 vaccine doses are not enough to stop the new COVID variant.” In a late December story in Euronews, BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin warned that:
“We must be aware that even triple-vaccinated are likely to transmit the disease… It is obvious we are far from 95 per cent effectiveness that we obtained against the initial virus.”
As a result, BioNTech is “already designing a coronavirus vaccine adapted to the new variant.”
They know the third shot isn’t working, the existing vax does a poor job recognizing Omicron, and at best boosters offer only a month or two of limited protection. That presents pharma with a stellar opportunity to rake in more profits experimenting on a mandated populace, liability free, with yet another new shot. The Omicron-specific vaccine is expected to be ready by March. But until then, Berry and her ilk are pushing a near-useless third shot designed for the original strain.
Pharma’s motto is that when a product isn’t working—as evidenced by infection rates rising in tandem with vaccination rates—no need to pause. Just push more doses.
One need only to look at Israel, which recently began administering it’s fourth shot—booster number two. Infections continue to rise in that medical apartheid state despite one of the most vaccinated populations on the planet. Citing “waning immunity a few months after the third shot,” the Pfizer-shackled Israeli government foresees endless boosters, shots administered closer and closer together. Scientists have long known that approach will lead to disaster.
Immune system fatigue and NEGATIVE vaccine efficacy
“Some scientists warned that the plan could backfire,” says a Dec. 28th NY Times article about Israel, “because too many shots might cause a sort of immune system fatigue, compromising the body’s ability to fight the coronavirus.” This problem of immune system fatigue has been long-recognized in vaccinology. There are “concerns that a fourth shot in less than a year could actually weaken immunity.”
Preliminary studies on Israel’s 4th dose show the second booster is already disappointing. “We were hoping for better results,” says Director of the Infectious Diseases Unit at Sheba Medical Center Professor Gili Regev-Yochay. Regev shares the concern that vaccination every few months is not sustainable. “If these results bring us back to antibodies level of approximately four months ago, then it means we will need to get vaccinated every four months, and that’s not the goal.”
On January 11, the World Health Organization issued a statement acknowledging problems with existing vaccines and variants like Omicron: “a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.”
But uber-vaxxed Israel seems committed to careening down the tracks on a runaway train they can’t stop. Health officer Berry is following suit.
In stark contrast to Berry’s disinformation that the triple vaccinated have greater protection than the unvaxxed, new data from Denmark, Canada, Iceland and the U.K. show the opposite. In “Has Covid vaccine efficacy turned negative?” journalist Alex Berenson says, “Data from highly vaccinated countries suggests strongly that the answer is yes; vaccinated people are at higher risk of infection from Omicron.”
“We already know vaccine protection against earlier variants of Sars-Cov-2 falls sharply within months of the second dose, as the vaccine-generated antibodies fade.
“But the new data go a step further, showing that previously vaccinated people are actually more likely to contract Omicron.
“The government of Ontario has reported exactly the same pattern. So have Danish researchers, in a paper two weeks ago, when they found protection against Omicron turned negative three months after the second dose.”

DANISH STUDY: Vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infection with the Delta and Omicron variants, shown separately for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Negative effectiveness does not mean a person’s protection wears off, though that happens, too. It means that unboosted Covid vaccines make you more vulnerable by suppressing your immune system, accelerating infection and transmission. If vaccinated people don’t get boosted every few months, they will be at greater risk for infection than if they were never vaccinated.
The research out of Denmark shows that compared to the Delta variant, Omicron is far more likely to infect people who are fully vaccinated and boosted than those who are unvaccinated. The study looked at 11,937 Danish households during the month of December 2021. It revealed that to keep the virus at bay vaccinated people will need injections every 30 days. “Why are we encouraging people to get ‘vaccinated’ or ‘boosted’ with a ‘vaccine’ that within a few weeks probably increases their risk of becoming infected with the newly dominant variant of Sars-Cov-2?” asks Berenson.
“If people don’t get boosted as required, they will be MORE vulnerable to Delta and Omicron than if they weren’t vaccinated,” writes Steve Kirsch. “That’s what NEGATIVE vaccine efficacy means.”
German government data is “showing that vaccinated people are 8X more likely to develop Omicron than unvaccinated people,” says Kirsch. “This is not surprising, since a paper from Germany showed the same thing: the more you vaccinate, the worse it gets.”
Data out of England corroborates this effect. A negative relative risk reduction for Covid infection after vaccination is most pronounced in the 40-49 year-old range, at minus (-) 140%. But every age group is in the negative.

Kirsch concludes, “The longer you stay on the vaccine treadmill, the harder to get off in the future and the easier you’ll make it for the virus.”
“In short, we’ve been lied to about the vaccine. It is protecting you less and less over time. While you may get a benefit for earlier variants, the benefit for other variants (and likely other diseases) is going to be negative… you are getting a short term benefit against Delta, but at the expense of a degradation of your overall immunity to everything else.”
These repeated shots are not only likely to weaken your immune system. They compound the build-up of dangerous spike proteins wreaking havoc in the body. Heart attacks, strokes, clotting… we’ve been documenting the fallout from the toxic spikes for nearly a year.
Are the boosters more deadly than Omicron?
What is the risk/benefit of vaxxing for Omicron? Comparing deaths from the variant with fatalities from the jab is an obvious place to start a risk/benefit analysis.
Contrary to Berry’s if you’re not vaxxed it can cause you to die threat, the Omicron virus is not proving fatal. Risk of death from the variant to date is effectively zero. But deaths from the boosters are piling up. Lack of efficacy and even negative vaccine effectiveness pale in significance to potential damage from the shots themselves.
One of the many fatalities from vax-induced myocarditis (heart inflammation) came after 26-year-old Joseph Keating’s third jab on Nov. 8, 2021. The young South Dakota man died just four days after his Pfizer booster.

An autopsy confirmed the vax was responsible: “myocarditis in the left ventricle due to the recent Pfizer COVID-19 booster vaccine.” From what we know about spike protein damage to the heart (occurring disproportionately in young males), chances are that his cardiac injury began developing over the first two shots and the booster was the final straw.
According to his mother, a critical care nurse of 35 years:
“When the pathologist looked at the 22 segments of Joseph’s heart, it showed the vaccine inflamed and attacked his entire heart. There was so much damage… It was full multi-focal myocarditis, and it wasn’t just affecting one part of his heart, it was attacking his whole septum and ventricles.”
The CDC—which, like Berry, has swept this kind of devastating heart damage under the rug—has not investigated his death.
Berry and her fellow vaccine damage deniers would have you believe that most injuries and deaths following injection are coincidences. In one of her most incredible disinformation statements yet, she told us that since the rollout began a year ago there have been only ELEVEN deaths from all Covid shots across the U.S.: “I believe it’s 11 nationwide.” (“TOP TEN 2021 Spin Doctor Disinformation Statements”)
Here’s just a small sampling of deaths within a few days, some within hours of the jab, reported in the VAERS database. All occurred in the last few months, following the third shot, either Pfizer or Moderna boosters. (Few are in the younger age range where we are seeing increasing vax-related deaths, because most in that demographic have not yet had boosters.)

Coincidences or a bit of Russian roulette?
While the mainstream media works overtime to find and hype a single death from the Omicron virus, the millions of injuries and possibly hundreds of thousands of deaths from the experimental injections don’t make the news. Now and then a story that can’t be ignored—like the shots causing myocarditis in young people—is permitted in order to broadcast pharma’s spin assuring the public that it is “rare” and “mild”, two of Berry’s favorite terms to dismiss tragic outcomes.
A few local Omicron anecdotes
I am in that dreaded “high risk” demographic based on age, but have no co-morbidities… a healthy oldster who will never willfully take the dangerous experimental injection. My symptoms were that of a mild cold. So mild, in fact, that it didn’t occur to me that I possibly had Covid. What got my attention after some days of congestion, vague body aches and low energy was significant lower back pain. Then I realized it wasn’t a cold, it was an Omicold. Were it not for that back pain which I couldn’t make sense of, I’d never have known I was dealing with Covid.
Three days of ivermectin and upping zinc, vitamin C and D3, and all symptoms were gone. Was it the ivermectin that kicked it or had it just run its course? I’ll never know, but there was no down side in using a medication that has successfully treated millions for Covid worldwide. Contrary to Berry’s disinformation, and snide statements from County Commissioner Greg Brotherton insinuating that it’s not fit for human use, 75 peer-reviewed studies comparing treatment and control groups show it to have an average success rate of 70% (some trials found 96% and 100%).
Brotherton, who had “a very mild case of Covid over the winter break,” said ”I was not tempted at all… to go out to the barn and get our ivermectin, because that stuff is like horse de-wormer.” Media propaganda along with Berry’s disinformation has captured nearly all of our electeds.
My cold symptoms had been negligible, hardly noteworthy. But in fairness, my experience was worse than a common cold because of the back pain.
Others—from young and healthy to aging with health conditions, from unvaxxed to fully vaxxed—describe their encounters with the Omicron variant. All were in the last few weeks:
- An unvaxxed teenage girl in Hadlock, 16, came down with with chills, body aches, a headache and was “super tired”. A home test kit diagnosed her Covid-positive. She was down for three days, dosing with vitamins C and D and zinc, and by day four had recovered.
- Her father, also unvaxxed and in his 50s, caught it from her. He had a bit of a cough and felt pressure in his chest and also tested positive at home. He, too, dosed up on vitamins C and D and zinc. The following day he felt fine, but was hit harder on day three—he felt weak, “super tired”, had chills and body aches, a cough, a “pressure headache”. He continued dosing with his supplements and by the next day felt fine but had a bit of residual cough. He said, “It was a cakewalk compared to colds and flus I’ve had throughout my life.”
- His two other unvaxxed children also caught it. One son, 23, had similar symptoms to his daughter: headache, sore throat, body aches, some chills, fatigue. Like his sister, he was down for three days and then felt fine.
- It “barely grazed” his 14-year-old boy who recovered in two days. He had “a momentary sore throat,” was a little achy and had a slight headache. No chills or fatigue. Both sons were dosed with the same C, D, and zinc protocols he’d used.
- A 65-year-old fully vaxxed Port Townsend man didn’t test, but thinks Omicron hit him recently. He had “a runny nose, headache and absolute fatigue.” After a hot bath, many naps, “a lot of zinc, vitamin C and D3,” he was fine the next day.
- A 22-year-old Port Townsend woman, unvaxxed, had a cough, body aches, and a high fever. She upped her vitamins C and D and felt fine after about seven days.
- After developing a cough and an unusual symptom—his skin hurt—a 50-year-old Clallam man already in ill health tested positive. He is unvaxxed on medical advice, high risk because of serious heart issues. A friend brought him a Covid kit put together by a local physician which included ivermectin. He used the kit, “took it easy” and recovered in a couple of days.
- An entire Port Townsend family all came down with Omicron Covid around Christmas. The family matriarch, 83, double vaxxed but not boosted, tested positive after three days of fever and extreme exhaustion. Her doctor prescribed steroids which she began taking on day four. The fever was already gone by that time and her exhaustion started diminishing within four hours of starting the steroids. It took another three days (a week total) for her to get back to normal, though normal now includes atrial fibrillation that manifested after her shots.
- Her Port Townsend daughter, 52 and unvaxxed, had “a bad headache,” cough, fever, body aches and fatigue. She upped her zinc, quercetin, and vitamins C and D. Her symptoms resolved within a week.
- An unvaxxed Port Townsend man, 50, had a low fever, headache, fatigue and body aches. He increased his supplements slightly and felt fine by the week’s end.
- An unvaxxed 63-year-old Port Townsend man “had a slightly scratchy throat” earlier this week, “followed by occasional mild runny nose, infrequent coughing, slight congested feeling in my head, itchiness around my eyes, some night sweats, maybe a little achiness, along with an odd fatigue and distractedness.” It was mild and intermittent. The symptoms have been resolving with little more than citrus fruit and juices.
Sounds like our typical bout with winter bugs, eh? Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine professor Dr. Marty Makary says,
“Think of this season as a bad flu season. There’s a very common respiratory pathogen called Omicron, and it causes infection which causes discomfort. And you’re out like you would be for influenza. It affects everybody differently and it’s ubiquitous… Omicron infection may actually be nature’s vaccine.”
Nature’s vaccine, God’s vaccine
The best news isn’t that another experimental shot will save us as spin doctor Berry would like you to believe. It’s that, as Stephen Schumacher said, cold and flu-like Omicron is “bestowing robust natural immunity wherever it goes.” While mRNA injections provide a single rapidly-fading line of defense against just a specific spike protein, natural infections create broad-based immunity against the entire virus.
One peer-reviewed study we’ve reported on found that while the spike protein generated by the vaccine can create five different antibodies, “infection by SARS-CoV-2 could lead to 55 different antibodies: 5 from the spike, 50 from the other viral proteins.” Scientist James Lyons-Weiler reports that with natural infections, “there are 50 ways to be immune that do not involve the spike protein.” The immune system will recognize many more pathogens, mount a response to a broad range of viruses, not just the signature spike of a specific virus.
A new study by scientists at the Africa Health Research Institute observed just that in comparing vaxxed and unvaxxed individuals who contracted Omicron. They “found that those who were infected with the Omicron variant”—but not the vaxxed subjects—”developed an enhanced immunity to COVID’s Delta variant.”
The robust, broad and durable immunity afforded through natural infection has always been far more protective than any vaccine. Johns Hopkins Medical professor Makary says,
“The data on natural immunity are now overwhelming. It turns out the hypothesis that our public health leaders had that vaccinated immunity is better and stronger than natural immunity was wrong. They got it backwards. And now we’ve got data from Israel showing that natural immunity is 27 times more effective than vaccinated immunity. And that supports 15 other studies.” [source]
Nonetheless, a full year into her divisive vax campaign, health officer Berry refuses to recognize the strong and likely superior immunity in the Covid recovered. Nor has she allowed for proof of a negative Covid test to be used for entry to restaurants and pubs in lieu of vaccination.
Despite the irrefutable evidence that the vaxxed carry and transmit as high a viral load as the unvaxxed—and regardless of the failure of her draconian policies to demonstrate reduced infection rates in Jefferson and Clallam counties (we’re at the bottom of 39 counties – see “Safest Counties Now Are Those With Least Restrictions”)—the obedient are rewarded with special privileges. A vaxxed person just as likely to spread Covid as an unvaxxed is permitted to enter local restaurants, but a Covid-recovered resident who built the best possible immunity from fighting the virus and has no use for an experimental shot cannot dine in county eateries.
How any thinking person could justify Berry’s dictates as being about public health is a head scratcher.
Omicron is seen by many experts as a blessing. In the report “Omicron May Provide Natural Immunity With Mild Symptoms,” Dr. Omar Hamada, an emergency room doctor and former U.S. Army Special Forces lieutenant colonel, says, “This may be actually something good in terms of getting people immune without necessarily having to depend on a vaccine that’s not incredibly effective.”
“Though we’re seeing an uptick in number of people affected, the severity of disease seems to be minimal, so it shouldn’t really cause much of a problem. And in fact it may actually provide more immunity if the infectivity is greater, but the virulence or severity is less.”
“If you believe in a God, this looks an awful lot like a Christmas present,” says vaccinologist Dr. Robert Malone, one of the co-inventors of mRNA technology.
“The good news with Omicron is very low disease, highly infectious. It looks an awful lot to the experienced vaccinologist like a live-attenuated virus vaccine that you might design for purpose. This is about as good as we could possibly want right now in terms of outcomes.” [source]
The Berry Covid cult has been sold the lie that they are only truly safe among their own kind—which currently means fully vaxxed and boosted. Anyone else in their restaurants, bars, theaters, entertainment venues and other gathering places could infect and kill them with a noxious but invisible virus the non-compliant are presumably shedding all around them. Sticking with their fellow Covidian vaxxers and shunning the unvaxxed will protect them, they believe. That mass delusional psychosis has claimed a good portion of our community.

Click for 29-minute video of interview with Dr. Mark McDonald, author of “UNITED STATES OF FEAR—How America Fell Victim to a Mass Delusional Psychosis”
The hysteria plays out throughout social media, which like local newspapers, censors comments that question the group-think. A recent NextDoor post exemplifies the mass psychosis:
“Why isn’t it headline news that: IF IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS SINCE YOUR 2ND SHOT, AND YOU DID NOT GET A BOOSTER, THEN YOU ARE NOT FULLY VACCINATED AND YOU ARE AT SERIOUS RISK OF GETTING SYMPTOMATIC HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS OMICRON VARIANT OF COVID!”
If the story being told outside the mainstream media is true, how will the deluded masses reconcile that they’ve been hoodwinked and hypnotized? Science is actually showing that –
– the vaxxed are no more “protected” than the unvaxxed;
– they carry and transmit as much of an infectious viral load as the unvaxxed;
– their repeated vaccinations have likely increased, not reduced, their risk of infection;
– their blind trust in authorities has destroyed businesses and livelihoods, torn apart families and communities, compromised their own and their loved ones’ health, and saddest of all, traumatized an entire generation of children.
Turns out, as censored doctors and scientists have said all along, that it’s the Covid-recovered—especially the unvaxxed—who are safest to be around. The Omicron invasion may be our best hope of creating community immunity for bridging a way out of this mess.

“In these trying times of distrust and division,
let us remember the one thing that unites
us all, the vaxxed and the unvaxxed:
neither will ever be fully vaxxed.”

Two surviving spouses have come forward to describe their beloved mates’ deaths following Pfizer injections.
Our last reporting on heart damage from the shots focused on the increasing incidence in young people. Those mounting injuries and deaths are underscored by the local tragedy of a 27-year-old Port Townsend woman who recently suffered two life-threatening heart attacks just days after injection. The formerly healthy, active woman we called Laura is now living at great risk with acute myopericarditis. (See Young Heart Damaged by Pfizer Vax.)
The two deaths reported here were among the earliest recipients of the mRNA shots, considered to be at high risk for the Covid-19 virus because of their age. Unlike previous contacts who have shared death and injury stories, both spouses have given permission to use their names and photos.
———————————
Paula Joanne Larson, 79

On February 18, 2021, Dean and Paula Larson of Port Ludlow both took their first Pfizer shot. Less than two weeks later, on the morning of March 3rd, normally cheerful Paula felt so unwell she told Dean, “I can’t eat. I’m going back to bed.” Minutes later, she called him for help. When Dean reached his wife, he found her fallen beside the bed, unable to get up. “All of a sudden her whole body started shaking and she stopped breathing,” he said.
Dean immediately called 911. A team of five paramedics arrived within ten minutes. “They worked on her for 35 or 40 minutes,” but couldn’t revive her. The doctor who signed Paula’s death certificate attributed her sudden demise to “heart failure.”
No one involved in this unexpected death asked about Paula’s vaccination status or even considered that the shot she had received just 13 days prior might have been the cause of her heart failure. In the heady early rollout of this experimental injection which the media and our health department incessantly promote as safe and effective, it never occurred to Dean or anyone else at the scene that the shot could be responsible.
It wasn’t until Dean had an appointment later that month with his primary care physician that a possible relationship between the shot and Paula’s death was first discussed. Unlike the majority of doctors we’ve heard stories about who insist that post-injection injuries and deaths have nothing to do with the shots—always “coincidences”—this independent physician had been doing his own research. He’d uncovered the same risks and patterns of injury being denied and covered up that the Free Press has been documenting since the rollout began.
Paula and Dean had been his patients for many years. Paula was diabetic, but otherwise healthy. Based on her medical history and what their doctor had uncovered through his research, he was concerned that the shot was responsible for her cardiac event.
“He really researched everything. He showed me articles online, how this was happening all over the world,” said Dean. “He showed me the situation in various states and countries.”
His doctor expressed frustration with the lack of autopsies being done to determine cause of death during this vaccine rollout. “That’s a problem with the medical industry,” Dean’s doctor told him.
Mayo-trained Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole agrees. Coroners are routinely refusing to conduct autopsies on those who have died following Covid vaccination, even when M.D.s order them:
“How can we do science if we’re not looking? When you do an autopsy, you get all the tissue… and you get all the answers, too.… They’re saying: Don’t autopsy that. It wasn’t the vaccine. Don’t look here… Is this science anymore? NO.”
As reported in an earlier article, it was a German report that gave us the “First case of postmortem study in a patient vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2”. The researchers discovered that every single organ of the deceased person’s body had become infested with spike proteins as a result of the vaccine.
Dr. Cole, whose pathology lab is one of the largest in Idaho, has been sharing his findings from tissue samples and other imaging taken post-vax. In presentations at conferences like the White Coat Summit, he displays slides showing the serious damage to heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, brain, testes, ovaries and more following mRNA injection.

In this 2-minute video Dr. Cole explains heart damage from spike protein inflammation:
“Here on the right side with the red arrows, that’s the sac that lines the heart. That’s inflammation surrounding that heart, and that’s going to cause swelling and pressure on the heart. On the left-hand side, those blue arrows, that’s the muscle, the wall of the heart. And all that white that you see on the left-hand side where the blue arrows are, that’s inflammation swelling the heart.”
“There’s no such thing as ‘mild‘ myocarditis,” says Dr. Cole. “When the heart is inflamed, that is a serious condition for a long time.”
———————————
Our second story is more complex, involving a pre-existing heart condition and far more time elapsed between the shots and heart failure.
James Makinson, 68

Just-retired chef Jim was “in great health—active and strong,” according to his wife Michele. He was delighted to have the time after retirement to focus on projects around their property in Kingston. He ate a healthy diet, didn’t drink, and had only one medical issue, a heart arrhythmia that led to getting a Pacemaker two years ago. The device was faulty, not functioning at all when the experimental mRNA shots were rolled out. Jim decided to wait until after he got the jabs to have it replaced.
He got his first Pfizer shot in January and the second in mid-February. Then, at the beginning of March, Jim got his new Pacemaker, one of the best available. “The surgeon [who replaced the faulty one] said his heart was in great shape,” Michele told me. “He said Jim had another 20 or 30 years,”
It wasn’t until July that something seemed off to Michele. “His skin tone changed; it was gray.”

The photo above was taken three weeks before Jim died.
Then in early August, he began sweating profusely. On the morning of August 8th, Michele found him laying on his side in bed, unresponsive. He had died in the night.
“I’m totally haunted by his death happening so unexpectedly,” Michele wrote. “What a shock.”
Like the Larsons’ doctor, Michele had also been doing research on the experimental injections. She herself had suffered from adverse reactions following her Pfizer shots. Echoing stories we have heard from others, an old injury was reactivated after the jabs. By June, she began to have painful arthritis in her hips. Her hip pain progressed so rapidly that by July she needed walking sticks. As doctors and scientists have warned, damage from the toxic spike proteins produced by the shots may be far worse over time than the immediate reactions so many are reporting.
While the couple resided in Kingston, Michele has commuted to Jefferson County for work and continues to use health practitioners here. With help from a Port Townsend acupuncture clinic for her adverse reactions, as well as beneficial supplements, her issues have diminished but have not resolved.
Jim was not so lucky. His unexpected death, six months after the Pfizer shots, didn’t make sense to Michele. With a new Pacemaker and no other health issues, why did he suddenly die in his sleep? Michele’s primary care physician insisted the shots had nothing to do with it. So Michele took it upon herself to get an autopsy. She paid $3500 to find out what caused her husband’s death.
It took three months to get the results. The autopsy confirmed Jim’s overall good health and concluded that he had suffered a heart attack: “This 68-year-old man, James Makinson, died from an acute myocardial infarction.” It identified atherosclerosis and an “enlarged heart” as the culprits. The Pacemaker was intact and functioning.
Could his Pacemaker have caused this? Older-style devices have been known to cause heart failure. But they do not cause the heart to enlarge or the arteries to narrow. According to his surgeon, Jim’s heart was not enlarged when the device was implanted five months before his death. With no cardiac issues other than arrhythmia, and that function restored by his new Pacemaker, the surgeon foresaw decades of solid performance ahead for Jim’s heart.
Did the shots cause his enlarged heart and artery constriction? As described by Dr. Cole above, evidence is mounting that the spike proteins generated by the mRNA shots are causing severe inflammation in blood vessels and organs—especially the heart—leading to clotting, swelling, scarring and irreversible heart damage.
The slides below show heart tissue damage due to inflammation. “That’s scars starting to form, and that scar [remains],” says Dr. Cole. “It messes up conduction pathways, can cause chronic heart failure over time.”

These slides from Dr. Ryan Cole show inflamed heart tissue leading to scarring:
“Heart doesn’t heal with new heart cells, it heals with scar. On the left-hand side, all those blue dots, that’s inflammation and all the pink, those are the fibers of the heart… All that blue-grey, that’s scar healing.”
The recent study featured at the American Heart Association’s annual conference found that risk of heart attacks and other coronary problems more than doubled within months after mRNA injections. The abstract noted: “At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months post second dose.” How far out they persist is still unknown. This global experiment is still fresh; the worldwide Phase 3 clinical trials foisted on the masses won’t conclude until 2023.
While a heart attack occurring months after the shots does not offer as clear an association as those within days like Laura’s or Paula’s, many doctors and scientists are warning that the toxic spike proteins can continue to damage organs and blood vessels over months, possibly years. They say that the real fallout from this unprecedented medical experiment will likely not be determined for some time.
Jim’s untimely death may be a harbinger of delayed reactions to the shots that we are just beginning to see.
Another example of such a delay happened to a healthy 72-year-old Port Townsend man who I spoke with recently. He received both Pfizer shots in March, and he, too, is now facing medical issues that didn’t start manifesting until this autumn.
“I had an EKG in October 2019, which was 100% normal. A subsequent EKG during 2021 after having received the Pfizer jab flagged a rhythmic irregularity.”
Six months after his shots, he began experiencing palpitations and neuropathy. His doctor decided to take another look at his heart.
“In the fall of 2021, an Echo-Cardiogram (ECG) was ordered, which revealed an enlargement of the right ventricular heart muscle. No prior indication of that outcome.”
He had no heart issues before the shots and now his ventricular muscle is enlarged. He feels its affects. “The association with the Pfizer jab is circumstantial, but in my opinion, it definitely seems related.”
———————————
Paula and Jim were both elderly, their deaths easily dismissed by skeptics as casualties that happen due to age. But even in the young, post-vax injury and death is being normalized. Since our last reporting, heart damage from the shots in young people has continued to rise, most shockingly in pro athletes in peak physical condition.
The number of athletes collapsing and dying post-vax has climbed to 335 Athlete Cardiac Arrests, Serious Issues, 190 Dead, After Covid Shots. Prior to the vaccine rollout it was a rare occurrence for one of these uber-healthy competitors to suddenly collapse on the field, let alone die. As seen in the graph below, the incidence of these adverse events has grown with each passing month since the shots were rolled out.

Athlete collapses and deaths chart to December 15, 2021.
The website linked above provides a regularly-updated month-by-month compilation of every athlete reported to collapse, with all information known about their vax-associated injuries/deaths. Most have suffered cardiac arrest, but injuries also include blood clots (or thrombosis), stroke, irregular heartbeat, and neuropathy. More than half of these athletes, including teenagers, have died. Those deaths include a 12-year-old Italian female tennis player, a 13-year-old male football player in Nevada, a 15-year-old male German goalkeeper, a 12-year-old male basketball player in Pennsylvania, a 14-year-old male hockey player in the Netherlands, and most recently a 15-year-old male wrestler and football player in Ohio.
Nearly unheard of pre-2021, since this mRNA experiment began, youthful heart issues and deaths are becoming commonplace.
———————————
Even more damning than the new report showing heart attack risk doubling post-vaccination and the growing list of athletes collapsing, are Pfizer documents just obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT) was formed specifically to “obtain and disseminate the data relied upon by the FDA to license COVID-19 vaccines.” On August 27, 2021, four days after the Pfizer vaccine was approved for ages 16+, this nonprofit organization (comprised of public health and medical professionals, scientists and journalists) submitted a FOIA request to the FDA for all of the data within Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine biological product file.
When no response was forthcoming, on September 16th PHMPT sued the FDA for the information. The lawsuit “asked that this information be disclosed in 108 days – the same amount of time it took for the FDA to review and license Pfizer’s vaccine.”
In a response that beggars belief, the FDA first requested until 2076 to release this data—not to analyze it, but to simply release it. Then in a brief last week, the FDA extended that time line to 2096, a 75-year delay. They disclosed that the documents they ostensibly reviewed before approving the shots amount to 451,000 pages.
An initial 12,000 pages have been released by court order. Within those pages are the results of the first three months of Pfizer mRNA vaccine trials.
Pfizer’s internal adverse events data from December 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021 reveal:
- Of 42,086 adverse event cases in that initial 3-month period, 13,104—31%—either died or had a long-term, permanent side effect following injection from which they hadn’t recovered.
- In that group of 42,086, there were 1,223 deaths.
- Of 274 pregnant women who reported adverse events, 75 of them—27%—were significant, including miscarriages and stillbirths.
- Of 133 breastfeeding mothers, 13% of their babies had an adverse event from exposure to the injection through breastmilk.
- 34 children under the age of 12 inadvertently received the injection (that age group was not supposed to be included in the trials). 24 of those 34 children—70.6%—had serious side effects, 13 of them “unresolved”.
“This is irrefutable evidence from Pfizer themselves that this shot is dangerous,” says Alberta doctor Daniel Nagase who presents the above trial data in an interview with the Canadian Western Standard.
What will the other 439,000 pages reveal over the next 75 years?
In 1976, trials of a new Swine flu vaccine were halted in nine states after three people died. At 32 deaths, the program was dismantled nationwide. Pfizer’s own reports documenting 1,223 deaths over three months following the Covid mRNA injection were released to the FDA and other regulatory agencies on April 30, 2021. Incontrovertible proof of its dangers were known last spring, but not shared with the public. Rather than put an immediate halt to this travesty, the FDA then approved the shots for 5 to 11 year-olds in a unanimous vote (with one abstention), and are now going after the 6 month to 5 year-olds.
In 1976, there was no shortage of corruption in government, regulatory agencies and media. Over the last half century pharma’s capture of these groups—along with medical schools and the health-care industry—is complete.
In October 2021, after supposedly having access to the damning Pfizer data we are only beginning to get glimpses of, and after many hours of cautionary “these shots are dangerous, don’t do this to the kids” testimony—the FDA Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted to approve the jabs for our children.
They ignored testimony like that of Steve Kirsch, Executive Director of the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund, who asked: “Why are kids dropping like flies after getting vaccinated? Why didn’t the highly unusual causes of deaths in these kids raise any red flags? How can a kid who was in the Pfizer 12-15-year-old trial be paralyzed and not have that reported in the trial report to the FDA? Why are there no autopsies for death after vaccination? How many Americans have to die before you pull the plug?… Of the over 1,200 comments that have been posted against the vaccines in kids, I found only one in favor.” (4:23:12)
Viral Immunologist Dr. Jessica Rose testified: “Within eight weeks of the Covid-19 rollout for 12 to 15-year-olds, there were nineteen times the expected cases of myocarditis reported over background rates in this age group… What will happen in children aged 5 to 11? Where is the safety data?” (4:30:00)
Most of the 18 “experts” on the committee who voted to inflict this shot on our children have deep industry ties. One of them summed up the committee’s attitude before the vote: “We are never going to learn how safe this vaccine is until we start giving it.” (6:34:46)
How have we come to this? Over these nearly fifty years, propaganda techniques have been perfected to create what Belgian psychologist Dr. Mattias Desmet calls “mass formation”—a kind of mass hypnosis/psychosis. Advances in propaganda delivery through new technologies, combined with total media control, have enabled pharma to create false narratives that completely saturate public perception and eliminate critical thinking.
But for those breaking free of the hive mind, it’s getting increasingly hard to trust our industry-captured regulatory agencies, our local health authorities who parrot their lies, and our politicians who rubber-stamp their edicts.

“In the very rare occasions where myocarditis occurs as a result of the vaccine, it is most commonly mild and generally resolves without treatment.”
– Jefferson County Public Health
“The blood test for heart injury with the vaccine myocarditis elevations is ten to a hundred-fold HIGHER than the troponin we see with natural infection. Vaccine induced myocarditis is a big deal…”
– Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough
—————————-
Which statement above is true? How prevalent and how serious is myocarditis (heart inflammation) caused by mRNA injections? What poses a greater risk to your heart—the virus or the shot?
Following our publication of the story of a 27-year-old Port Townsend woman who suffered two heart attacks in the week following her second Pfizer injection, leaving her with acute myopericarditis, Jim Scarantino posed this question on Jefferson County Public Health’s (JCPH) Facebook page:
“What is the Department’s and Public Health Officer’s response to this report of a very severe, very tragic adverse reaction to the Pfizer vaccine? This happened here in Jefferson County. I am not pushing an anti-vax agenda. I have been vaccinated. But this is a true case and deserves a response from officials requiring people to run this sort of risk.”
As discussed in other Free Press articles—and in readers’ comments below them—health institutions, global to local, which the public has long relied upon to protect us are now in lockstep with Big Pharma’s propaganda designed to force experimental injections into every man, woman, and child on earth. The narrative, at all costs, is to keep people terrified by overstating the danger from Covid infections while downplaying risks from the shots.
Our own health department demonstrates this strategy perfectly in its response to Scarantino, a response riddled with deflection, denial and disinformation.
“Because of rules protecting private health information, we at Jefferson County Public Health cannot speak to the veracity of individual reports of possible vaccine associated outcomes for any individual patient. We can confirm that in the entirety of our vaccination effort, there has been one reported case of myocarditis after a COVID-19 vaccination in Jefferson County. There have been no cases of long term disability or death associated with a COVID-19 vaccination in our county. 48,600 doses of the COVID-19 vaccines have been delivered in Jefferson County.
Myocarditis is a very rare possible side effect of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, occurring at a rate of approximately 40 cases/1 million doses delivered. Myocarditis is 11 times more likely to occur as a result of COVID-19 infection than after a vaccine, occurring at a rate of 450 cases/1 million diagnosed infections. In the very rare occasions where myocarditis occurs as a result of a vaccine, it is most commonly mild and generally resolves without any treatment. This stands in stark contrast to the myocarditis caused by the COVID-19 virus, which frequently leads to long term disability and even death. Jefferson County Public Health continues to work closely with our local healthcare partners to monitor the vaccine effort and assure the safety and effectiveness of all vaccinations delivered in Jefferson County. Read more about COVID-19 and myocarditis here: https://www.cdc.gov/…/vaccines/safety/myocarditis.html”

Let’s take a look at these statements
JCPH: There has been one reported case of myocarditis after a COVID-19 vaccination in Jefferson County.
FACT: Not an overt falsehood, this is lying by omission. There is only one reported case of myocarditis here because these injuries are not being reported. Like all agencies under CDC auspices, Jefferson County Public Health’s mission is to promote the safe and effective mantra. Acknowledging damage from these shots undermines that mission. Was Laura’s recent case the one that was reported, or was it another? We are aware of multiple heart issues that were never reported, usually denied to be related to the shots. We know that the acute—not mild—myocarditis diagnosed following Laura’s heart attacks was not reported to VAERS by either Jefferson Healthcare or by the second hospital that she was sent to. Both medical facilities, in violation of CDC requirements, acknowledged her heart damage was caused by the shot but told Laura SHE could report it if she wanted to.
JCPH: There have been no cases of long-term disability or death associated with a COVID-19 vaccination in our county.
FACT: Like injury reports, county deaths following the shots are being covered up, denied, and/or re-labeled. Earlier Free Press articles describe in detail one of these vaccine-induced deaths. A woman with no kidney issues before the Pfizer vax sent her on a death spiral, was labeled on her death certificate by a Jefferson Healthcare doctor as having died of renal failure. In another death following the vax that I was alerted to, “A med provider who lost a patient from injection, was dictated the response required to make.” [See “Death by Injection?” and “The Truth That Must Not Be Spoken.”] The majority of county deaths with COVID-19 have also been deaths with vaccination, at least one a “profoundly immunosuppressed” woman falling ill less than a week after being given an “ineffective” second vaccine.
JCPH: Myocarditis is a very rare possible side effect of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines occurring at a rate of approximately 40 cases/1 million doses. Myocarditis is 11 times more likely to occur as a result of COVID-19 infection than after a vaccine.
FACT: These numbers use data from the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), acknowledged by a Harvard study to capture less than 1% of actual adverse reactions. Will we ever know what percentage of actual adverse events have been reported by our health department? 1%? 5%? 10%? As discussed above, none of the vaccine-induced deaths or heart injuries we are aware of were reported to VAERS by local health personnel. Our own hospital’s refusal to report adverse events exemplifies the reality of extreme under-reporting.
Numbers aside, how dangerous is heart injury from the vaccine? The health department would have you believe that it is the natural Covid infection you should fear, not the shots. Vaccine-induced myocarditis is “mild”, they say.
JCPH: In the very rare occasions where myocarditis occurs as a result of the vaccine, it is most commonly mild and generally resolves without treatment. This stands in stark contrast to the myocarditis caused by the COVID-19 virus, which frequently leads to long-tern disability and even death.
FACT: This statement goes beyond a misstatement, cover-up or just plain denial of reality. It is a total Orwellian inversion of the truth. Top cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, who has been seeing heart patients throughout this crisis, says there is indeed a stark contrast and it’s just the opposite of JCPH’s claim: damage from vaccine-induced myocarditis is often severe, while that from the virus is generally “inconsequential”:

Dr. Peter McCullough Explains How Myocarditis Differs When Caused by Natural Infection vs Vaccine.
Click image above for 1-minute video.
“The myocarditis that occurs with the natural infection is very different than the myocarditis we’re seeing from the vaccines. The myocarditis from Covid-19 is mild, is inconsequential, and is largely a troponin elevation.
“I don’t want anyone thinking that the myocarditis we’re seeing from the natural infections is anything like what we’re seeing from the vaccines. There are pre-clinical studies suggesting that the lipid nanoparticles [in the vaccines] actually go right into the heart. The heart expresses the spike protein, the body attacks the heart. There are dramatic EKG changes, the troponin—the blood test for heart injury—with the vaccine myocarditis elevations is ten to a hundred-fold HIGHER than the troponin we see with natural infection. It’s a totally different syndrome.
“When the kids get myocarditis after the vaccine, 90% have to be hospitalized. They have dramatic EKG changes, chest pain, early heart failure. They need echocardiograms, medications to prevent heart failure. Vaccine induced myocarditis is a big deal, and in children it is way more serious and more prominent than a post-Covid myocarditis.” (video clip above)
Vaccine-caused myocarditis certainly isn’t mild for young Laura, who now has an 80-year-old heart courtesy of Pfizer injections she was pressured to take against her better judgment. Jefferson County Public Health makes sweeping misstatements based on the false pharma/CDC narrative, with no transparency about actual local data.
As Dr. McCullough points out (and as described in my previous article), the vaccine has now been shown to travel directly to the heart where the billions of spike proteins it generates attack heart tissue. We invite any county residents who have myocarditis resulting from a Covid-19 infection to share their story. We would be most interested in comparing their heart damage following a bout with the virus to what Laura and others in Jefferson County have suffered from the shots.
My previous article closed with the recent report presented at the American Heart Association’s annual conference, MRNA COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning. This robust study showed that risk of heart attacks and other severe coronary heart problems more than doubled within the months after Pfizer and Moderna vaccination. British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra discusses this report and describes additional research confirming the same findings:

Report reveals increase in risk of heart attack following the mRNA COVID vaccine
Click image above for interview with UK cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra
“A few days ago, after this was published, somebody from a very prestigious British institution, a cardiology department researcher, contacted me to say that researchers in this department had found something similar, within the coronary arteries, linked to the vaccine—inflammation from imaging studies around the coronary arteries. They had a meeting and these researchers at the moment have decided that they’re not going to publish their findings because they are concerned about losing research money from the drug industry. This person was very upset about it….
“I have a lot of interaction with the cardiology community across the UK and anecdotally I have been getting told by my colleagues that they are seeing younger and younger people coming in with heart attacks.”
The more than 8,000 comments following Malhotra’s 4-minute interview affirm his perspective. How long will YouTube allow this video and its comments to be posted? These are the voices being censored by social media and mainstream news:
- A good friend of mine here in Australia 🇦🇺 has told me practically the same information. She also works in a hospital over here for 30 years. It’s affecting our young high school students. A cluster in South Australia, about 15 students from one school.
- From the moment I had the vaccine I have felt unwell with cardiac type symptoms. I am 30
- Four days after the second shot, my husband died of a sudden heart attack. He was 59.
- My sister has a leaky valve in her heart. Symptoms started as soon as she had her first vaccine and was first diagnosed with an inflamed heart. The doctor says it’s not related and she would of had it for years. She’s 45. Ok doctor 👌🏻
- The same things happened to heart. I used to be healthy sportsman. The problems started after second dose of vax. Heart arrhythmia
- Since I got this effing shot I have had palpations and an increase in my resting heart rate and a dramatic decrease in my exercise tolerance. WTF. Now this!!
- 10 times more cardiac arrest in the last 10 months than the last 10 years according to some A+E staff.
- Four weeks ago I had my first Pfizer vaccine, 6 days later I had a stroke. Previously in good health with no underlying health conditions.
- I’m a very fit late 40s male. Since my double Pfizer jab I’ve had issues with breathing and chest pains. Biggest regret of my life was taking this vaccine.
- After the first dose: My 40 year old friend had a heart attack and was resuscitated, my neighbour has now blood clots in the brain, my father went into anaphylaxis, another friend has severe palpitations, hypertension and now is being monitored by a cardiologist …I’m just saying, all fit and healthy
Obfuscation is the new standard of care
In response to our health department’s Facebook statements, Jim Scarantino posted this comment:
“Thank you for answering. It is not clear if the woman in the article is the case in your answer. Either way, the permanent damage she has suffered probably far outweighs the minimal risk she faced of a severe COVID infection that would produce the same heart damage. Somebody in her age group and as healthy as she was, emphasize was, never really faced much risk with COVID. At least recognize her sacrifice and loss, which was forced upon her by government coercion. What does she get out of this other than a lifetime, a shortened lifetime, of regret and poor health?”
Their response? Continue to avoid the hard questions, just reiterate misleading data to divert the focus. So Scarantino tried a third time to get a straight answer about Laura’s devastating heart injuries:
“At least acknowledge that forcing people to get vaccinated could result in serious, permanent harm to some. That woman’s injuries are not insignificant, and far worse than the COVID symptoms suffered by most people who were infected, particularly young people.”

JCPH’s response was yet another “clarification” that didn’t address the main issue he raised, completely ignoring concerns about the significant harm to some, “particularly young people,” for no benefit.

In the same Facebook thread, county resident Lea Falkenhagen quoted the conclusion of the report cited above, warning that the mRNA vaccines “dramatically increase inflammation… of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination.” In light of all the heart risk being documented, she asked some questions we deserve answers to:
“I am curious how many heart attacks have occurred in Jefferson County since last spring and how many were post vaccination? Who is tracking this information and is it being reported to the public? If not, why? Are people getting handed this info before choosing to be vaccinated? If not, why? Are people with heart conditions being referred to their cardiologists before JCPH recommends they get a jab? If not, why?”
None of these questions have been answered.
How is our health department serving its public? Officials discount tragic local evidence of an experiment gone horribly wrong, refuse to acknowledge the severity of cardiac damage from these shots, and parrot the broken record that Covid vaccines are safe and effective when it is increasingly obvious that neither assertion is true.
Dr. Malhotra joins fellow cardiologist Dr. McCullough and the many thousands of other doctors and scientists worldwide warning about this dangerous push to force these shots on people around the globe.
“I think now it’s high time that policy makers around the world put an end to the mandates—because I think if this signal is strong, and if it’s correct, then history will not be on their side and the public will not forgive them for it.”
How many Lauras will it take before Jefferson County Public Health, Health Officer Dr. Allison Berry, our Board of Health, and our elected Board of County Commissioners heed this warning?
