Never Forget: The COVID-19 Pandemic

Never Forget: The COVID-19 Pandemic


Media & Videos Added: 9/26/22

“Never forget” is a phrase often attributed to the events that occured on 9/11 in 2001 in the United States. I know I will never forget being taken out of school early that day, walking through the lobby of my high school and seeing so many fellow students crying because they lost loved ones in the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in New York. The number of students at my high school that lost loved ones on that day was so high that Time Magazine wrote an article about it. It’s important to remember certain things that have happened in the past, so they are not repeated.

There are many things that have taken place during the Covid-19 Pandemic that are troublesome, to put it mildly. They should not be forgotten. People should be held accountable. We should also remember so that they are not allowed to repeat, and when they surely do repeat, we at least don’t fall subject to the put ons and victim to the lies. The United States Government, U.S. Health Officials, and the media have failed us and betrayed our trust at the same time during the Covid Pandemic. Below is a list of numerous times we have been lied to or led astray during the pandemic, purposefully or otherwise, or have been told things that just don’t make sense related to the Covid-19 Pandemic. If you read all this and don’t have a lot of questions after it, you might want to check the switch for your brain and turn it to on.

(1): Let’s start with 60 Minutes a few nights ago. I watched this in real time in absolute astonishment. United States President Joseph Biden stated the Covid-19 Pandemic was over. He mentioned how people at the car show he was at were fine and not wearing masks (anecdotes, nonsensical ones even, are cool now I guess). This of course is happening at the same time the government pushes people to get vaccinated. People are losing, or have lost, their jobs due to mandates, and military personnel have been discharged. Last I checked, about a week ago, the number of people who have taken a booster in the U.S. was only 32.6%, so the mandates are dwindling. … Never forget, President Biden telling the nation the pandemic is over (right before a major election) even though there’s no indication of this as 500 people die a day from Covid, there are 60,000 cases a day (recorded), and we are currently in a downslope/valley. Another peak will probably be coming most likely.


(2): United States President Joe Biden falsely stated that “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations,” and “If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the ICU unit, and you’re not going to die.” This occurred during a July 21, 2021 Town Hall Event. This is exactly the type of dangerous misinformation, that’s allowed and not censored. Dr. Brix has some differing thoughts on reality in #10. … Never forget, how many times our political leaders told us blatant untruths during the pandemic so you never blindly trust. 


(3): Speaking of Presidents, President Donald Trump was not immune to the lies and BS either. He pretended Covid wasn’t too serious and then used “the whole Monoclonal Antibody supply on the east coast” for himself when he contracted Covid. Actions speak louder than words. Never forget, Herman Cain died after getting Covid at one of Trump’s ill advised maskless rallies. He also “encouraged his top health officials to study the injection of bleach (disinfectant) into the human body as a means of fighting Covid.” He said a plethora of incorrect things, mostly downplaying Covid, that you can read in The Atlantic article in the citations below. … Never forget, Presidents and politicians on all sides can be full of it. It seems even more so in a time of crisis, and when an election is upcoming.


(4): The World Health Organization (WHO) took 1.5-2 years to admit that Covid-19 is airborne. An article from Forbes says, “… the most likely explanation for WHO’s slow progress is simply bureaucracy. The organization decided that its own staff should review all the evidence for airborne transmission. According to Soumya Swaminathan, WHO’s chief scientist, they were carefully reviewing 500 studies every day. WHO made a rod for its own back. A cynic would say that its scientists created busy-work to justify their jobs, as they could have instead consulted some of the 239 researchers who had signed the letter on airborne transmission. Why did WHO’s scientists believe they understood more about aerosols than aerosol experts?” … Dr. Alejandro Cravioto, Chair of Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization on The WHO’s Instagram said (said on 1/7/21 – posted 1/14/21), “We agreed that the vaccine is safe first, and effective, and it can be used in people who are 16 years and older.” The Pfizer Covid Vaccine Trials, from what I can tell, ended, or the data was made available, on 11/14/20. … Never forget, how long it took for The WHO to tell you Covid-19 was airborne and how quickly it took them to tell you the Pfizer Covid Vaccine was safe and effective (took them 1 month and 3 weeks, possibly less time). It seems they waited to say it’s airborne for monetary motives. Scientists have them too huh?

(5): Dr. Fauci in 2004 while talking on C-SPAN says, “She doesn’t need it (the Flu Vaccination) because the most potent vaccination – is getting infected yourself.” Senator Rand Paul more recently grilled Dr. Fauci on this. During his interrogation, Dr. Fauci holds up a Reuters Fact Checking Article, as if he wasn’t participating in his own quotations and isn’t the ultimate fact checker. The above quotation doesn’t get excused because the caller he was speaking to said they had a reaction to the Flu Vaccine. He’s saying it as an absolute. Dr. Fauci also said “If she really has the Flu, she definitely doesn’t need a Flu Vaccine.” … Never forget, Dr. Fauci’s contradictory comments on “natural immunity” (or infection acquired immunity).


(6): Zoe Kleinman, of the BBC, wrote an article shamelessly boasting of her contribution to censorship. “”The BBC has seen several groups, one with hundreds of thousands of members, in which the emoji (a carrot emoji) appears in place of the word “vaccine”. Facebook’s algorithms tend to focus on words rather than images. The groups are being used to share unverified claims of people being either injured or killed by vaccines. Once the BBC alerted Facebook’s parent company, Meta, the groups were removed.” What planet do we live on where the media is assisting social media in the censorship of people instead of investigating the censorship? Might want to look into why there are soooooo many people talking about Covid Vaccine Injuries in the first place, or why people have to speak in code talking about their own injury experiences, or if there is a safety problem with the vaccines. I guess it’s planet politics, ideology, and opinions, which is the worst planet for the media to be on if we want them to protect us and report on reality, instead of actively working to censor people more when there is way too much already. Then after she helps get people censored, she censors them directly by turning off the comments when she posts the story on her Twitter Account. … Never forget, the media working to actively censor Covid Vaccine Injured people they disagree with, not because of the facts or anything, but because their opinions are leaking into their journalism.

(7): Brandy Zadrozny, an unabashed anti-“anti-vaxxer” who writes for NBC News, wrote an article entitled, “Covid vaccines for children are coming. So is misinformation.” This is the most transparent attempt to discredit anything other than the narrative, that happens to align with her opinions shockingly, before any dissent is even heard. In the article she goes on to gaslight a little girl, Maddie de Garay (doesn’t mention her by name in the article), who was paralyzed due to the Covid Vaccine in the 12-15 year old Pfizer Trials. Brandy was more concerned that the Covid Vaccines might be criticized thus decided to come for a horribly sick girl instead of wondering why her injury was only listed as a stomach ache in the trial data, or wondering if this was happening to others. Brandy even received Maddie’s medical documentation from Maddie’s mother, I know because I spoke to her, prior to her writing her piece. She still wrote it and NBC still approved it for publication. Part of the medical documentation was Maddie’s ER visit the day after her last Covid Vaccination which stated her visit was due to her Covid Vaccine Reaction. Team work makes the dream work! In this case the dream is that the Covid Vaccines aren’t causing many injuries. … Never forget, anti-“anti-vaxxer” journalists will steep as low as they can possibly go to protect their beloved opinions, this includes gaslighting a paralyzed little girl. They seem to care about them more than people.

COVID Vaccine Trials: Adverse Reactions, Data Distortion, & Media Censorship


(8): Dr. Dhruv Khullar, a journalist for The New Yorker, purposely left out most important detail of Heidi Ferrer’s suicide, her Covid Vaccine Injury, in an article he wrote. Dr. Khullar was informed by Heidi’s husband, Nick Guthe, that she became horribly sick, after having been significantly better from her Long Haul Covid, after getting her one Moderna Covid Vaccine. He decided to omit that from his extraordinarily long article. This is a physician/journalist leaving out the most important detail, knowingly! Heidi committed suicide 2.5 months after her Moderna shot due to her injuries. … Never forget, whatever story you’re reading regarding pandemic related topics, it may have the most important details omitted, and possibly on purpose. That is lying by omission. Isn’t the media supposed to report the facts and leave their biases at the door?

(9): The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) originally stated the Covid-19 Spike Protein produced by mRNA vaccines didn’t last long in the body. In the “middle of the night” on July 22-23, 2022, they simply erased that from one of their website pages. No announcement, no apology, no correction, just a nice ole scrubbing. As many injured know who have had their spike protein levels tested, it can last a long time (more than a year). This would be good for the masses to know as many believe the spike protein is what causes the Covid Vaccine Injuries. The Covid Vaccine Injured have even been told the spike is the cause of their injuries by top officials at the NIH. … Never forget, that if the CDC actually cared about people’s health only, they wouldn’t just remove something so vital from their website in the “middle of the night” without explaining the change and informing the public. They seem to care about watching their backs more than the public’s backs.

The CDC is having a bad week. It’s true, they scrubbed their website of the spike protein not lasting long in the body. Damn Wayback Machine. 7/22/22 it was there and after it was … POOF 💨 . #cdc #vaccineinjury #vaccineinjured #vaccineinjuries #spikeprotein #vaccine #mrna pic.twitter.com/OqqJIGA14v

(10): Dr. Brix said in July of 2022, “I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection. And I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it’s not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. It will. But let’s be very clear: 50% of the people who died from the Omicron surge were older, vaccinated. So that’s why I’m saying even if you’re vaccinated and boosted, if you’re unvaccinated right now, the key is testing and Paxlovid. It’s effective. It’s a great antiviral. And really, that is what’s going to save your lives right now if you’re over 70, which if you look at the hospitalizations, hospitalizations are rising steadily with new admissions, particularly in those over 70. And so if you live in the South – I know people keep talking about the fall – I’m worried about the South.” … Never forget, health officials pretended to know things they did not know and acted like it was known truth.


(11): “Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a face mask or stay 6 feet away from others in most settings, whether outdoors or indoors, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in updated public health guidance” in May of 2021. ““Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and outdoor activities, large or small, without wearing a mask or physical distancing,” (Rochelle) Walensky (, CDC) said. “If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic. We have all longed for this moment, when we can get back to some sense of normalcy. … She added there is always a chance the CDC could change its guidance again if the Covid Pandemic worsens or additional variants emerge. … This is an exciting and powerful moment, it could only happen because of the work of so many who made sure we have the rapid administration of three safe and effective vaccines,” she said.” At the time of the announcement only 39.6% of people had been fully vaccinated in the U.S.. By September of that year daily cases had about 4.5x and by January of 2022 cases were 23x of those on May 13, 2021. We already had 3 peaks and valleys before this directive, so it didn’t make any sense. The only thing that does is that they were throwing out a cookie to try to convince more to get vaccinated, but that has seriously backfired. They did change their guidance later on, but it was too late. Since the point of that announcement in May 2021, there has been very little mask wearing. … Never forget, the Covid-19 health guidances that didn’t seem to be about health, or logic, at all.


(12): Fauci says you don’t need a mask on 60 Minutes on March 8, 2020. Stop going on 60 minutes y’all! This is right around the time I got sick with Covid. I was wearing a mask, but others were not. … A CNN fact check article states, “Last week, Fauci told CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta during a CITZEN by CNN Conference that his evolving advice about masks is a “classic example” of how guidance can change as additional scientific evidence emerges. The pandemic, he said, is an “evolving situation.”  Fauci explained that at that time, “we were not aware that 40 to 45% of people were asymptomatic, nor were we aware that a substantial proportion of people who get infected get infected from people who are without symptoms. That makes it overwhelmingly important for everyone to wear a mask.” “So when people say, ‘Well, why did you change your stance? And why are you emphasizing masks so much now when back then you didn’t — and in fact you even said you shouldn’t because there was a shortage of masks?’ Well the data now are very, very clear,” he said. “We need to put that nonsense behind us about ‘well, they keep changing their minds,’ ” Fauci said.” … Someone schedule these people a Zoom so they can get on the same page because the messaging has been atrocious. The “evolving science” line by Dr. Fauci wreaks of BS. … Never forget, even the health professionals disagree and change their tunes, for various reasons. They may exude all the confidence in the world that they’re sure about something and that you should do what they say, all while not knowing.


(13): FDA Limits Use of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson, J&J) COVID-19 Vaccine to Certain Individuals on May 5, 2022, after more than a year of being administered to people in the United States. “Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has limited the authorized use of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine to individuals 18 years of age and older for whom other authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccines are not accessible or clinically appropriate, and to individuals 18 years of age and older who elect to receive the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine because they would otherwise not receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Key Points: After conducting an updated analysis, evaluation and investigation of reported cases, the FDA has determined that the risk of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), a syndrome of rare and potentially life-threatening blood clots in combination with low levels of blood platelets with onset of symptoms approximately one to two weeks following administration of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine, warrants limiting the authorized use of the vaccine. The FDA has determined that the known and potential benefits of the vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 outweigh the known and potential risks for individuals 18 years of age and older for whom other authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccines are not accessible or clinically appropriate, and for individuals 18 years of age and older who elect to receive the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine because they would otherwise not receive a COVID-19 vaccine. The Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers Administering Vaccine now reflects the revision of the authorized use of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and includes a warning statement at the beginning of the fact sheet for prominence which summarizes information on the risk for TTS. Additionally, information on the revision to the authorized use of the vaccine and updated information on this risk of blood clots with low levels of blood platelets has been added to the Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers.” … Basically they limited the use of J&J Covid Vaccines in the USA for almost everyone due to safety concerns, one of which a family friend experienced with an extreme decrease of their platelets. It adds up that J&J would be the vaccine restricted based on my analysis of VAERS (the doses given vs. number of adverse events reported) because J&J seemed to be the most dangerous of the Covid Vaccines in the U.S.. It’s also one of the least widely used in the United States. J&J generates 2.07x more VAERS reports per equal number of shots than Moderna. Moderna generates 2.5% more reports even though Pfizer has been given 51.7% more (based on the time period stipulated in my article). … Never forget, the J&J Covid Vaccine was safe, and you were a crazy anti-vaxxer spreading misinformation if you said otherwise, until it wasn’t and they figured out more than a year later.

Moderna vs. Pfizer – VAERS


(14): Facebook lifts ban on posts claiming Covid-19 was man-made. Social network says policy comes ‘in light of ongoing investigations into the origin’ of virus. “In February, Facebook explicitly banned the claim, as part of a broad policy update aimed at “removing more false claims about Covid-19 and vaccines”. In a public statement at the time, it said: “Following consultations with leading health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), we are expanding the list of false claims we will remove to include additional debunked claims about the coronavirus and vaccines. Anyone posting claims that Covid-19 was “man-made or manufactured” could have seen their posts removed or restricted, and repeatedly sharing the allegation could have led to a ban from the site entirely.” … Never forget, not everything proclaimed debunked is actually debunked in reality. This is while social media censors people left and right for things that have been “debunked.” Perhaps they should allow free speech just in case they’re horribly wrong about something which would thus harm people? But I doubt they’re horribly wrong about something … 🤔.

(15): One can often hear “everyone agrees in the scientific community,” but do the mainstream scientific communities even agree on many things related to this pandemic? In the United States they’re vaccinating children 6 months and up against Covid. In the United Kingdom, children aged 5-11 are not being offered Covid shots, except those in clinical risk groups, UKHSA states. In Denmark, People aged 50 years and over will be offered vaccination. People aged under 50 who are at a higher risk of becoming severely ill from Covid-19 will also be offered vaccination against Covid-19. This leaves out the vast majority of people under 50 years old from being offered a Covid Vaccination. AstraZeneca is approved in some countries and not others, like the United States where they conducted a trial, but it was never approved. Moderna is restricted in multiple countries due to Myocarditis concerns, but not the United States. These are just a few of the instances where there are major disagreements. Then you have differences in lockdowns, vaccine requirements, travel restrictions, handling of Covid, treatments, etc. … Never forget, there is A LOT of disagreement in the mainstream medical field about Covid & the Covid Vaccines.

(16): The Bivalent, current, Covid Vaccine was only tested on 8 mice. “There’s no concern from the safety perspective that this vaccine is safe,” said Dr. Pia MacDonald, an epidemiologist at RTI International. “We know that by just putting in a little genetic variation in the vaccine of the virus, that that does not impact on the safety of the virus because the manufacturing process is identical, minus the small amount of genetic material that is tailored to the new variant,” MacDonald said. That process might sound familiar — the flu shots we get every year are developed the same way. “It does not go through thousands of people going through a clinical trial,” Wohl said. “It’s engineered and designed to respond to the variant of flu that’s circulating in the world. At some point, we cannot do thousands and thousands of people (in) clinical trials for every version of the COVID-19 vaccine that comes along. At some point, you have to say, ‘Let’s stop it, trust the science, trust the technology and move on,’ and just use the same construct but tweak it. And that’s exactly what’s happening.” … This is of course an assumption, which is based on the current Covid Vaccines being super duper safe. Let’s say they’re not extremely safe and the spike protein is what is causing Covid Vaccine Injuries. My question would be is adding an additional variant to the vax going to cause the immune system to go even more haywire than it is with the current vax since it is dealing with two different variant spike proteins? … Never forget, when they tested a major variation of the Covid Vaccine and said it is safe after it was tested on 8 mice.

(17): Beware of incorrect or disingenuous sneakily worded fact checks. One of those sneaky fact checks is a Reuters fact check of Dr. Fauci comments (see #5 where he actually brings it up to defend himself when questioned by Senator Rand Paul). Reuters says, “Fauci is giving advice for a specific situation pertaining to this caller. Natural immunity from infection does not mean flu vaccinations do not help curb community spread and protect vulnerable people. … Furthermore, COVID-19 is a different virus from influenza and receiving a vaccine is safer than risking severe illness with the virus, according to the CDC.(bit.ly/3vc95u8). Although people who recover from COVID-19 usually gain some immune defenses against reinfection, they get additional protection from vaccines, especially against severe disease, according to two studies published on March 31 in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal (see here ). … VERDICT: Missing context. Top infectious disease Dr. Anthony Fauci’s comments made in 2004 were regarding a specific case of influenza.” … Fauci’s comments were, “She doesn’t need it (the Flu Vaccination) because the most potent vaccination – is getting infected yourself. … If she really has the Flu, she definitely doesn’t need a Flu Vaccine.” He is talking to a specific person, but he isn’t speaking specifically. He is speaking in an absolute that applies to everyone. Reuters, you sneaks! Nice try, but I see what you’re trying to do! Wish I could say this stuff was rare, but I don’t want to lie. … Never forget, words matter and those working in the media know this better than anyone. When they play with words to try to obscure things, you can probably safely assume they did it on purpose to confuse you.

(18): Dr. Fauci says “If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have a risk and that’s the reason why we say it’s simple as black and white, you’re vaccinated you’re safe, and you’re unvaccinated, you’re at risk. Simple as that” as seen on MSNBC while talking about the Covid Vaccines. Posted on YouTube on 6/22/21. As we know, that’s not true. You can read Dr. Brix’s comments in #10 about that. This is really dangerous misinformation, or disinformation, conveyed to the people of the United States. He needs a few days of Facebook Jail for this one and YouTube should take this video down, but that will never happen. … Never forget, when the face of the Covid Pandemic, Dr. Fauci, dangerously lied saying you’re safe if you’re vaccinated.


(19): Paxlovid effectiveness has been called into question recently, as well as the frequency of viral rebound, as well as the frequency of certain side effects. “Pfizer’s oral antiviral drug paxlovid significantly reduces hospital admissions and deaths among people with covid-19 who are at high risk of severe illness, when compared with placebo, the company has reported.” “Pfizer’s COVID-19 pill appears to provide little or no benefit for adults under 65 while still reducing the risk of hospitalization and death for high-risk seniors, according to a large study published” in August of 2022. “The results from 109,000 patients in Israel are likely to renew questions about the U.S. government’s use of Paxlovid, which has become the go-to treatment for COVID-19 because of its at-home convenience. The Biden administration has spent more than $10 billion purchasing the drug and making it available at thousands of pharmacies through its test-and-treat initiative. The researchers found that Paxlovid reduced hospitalizations among people 65 and older by roughly 75% when given shortly after infection.” There seems to be little to no benefit for those using Paxlovid who are under 65. … With regards to the viral rebound many have experienced after Paxlovid including: Dr. Fauci, Joe Biden, me, and most people I know that have taken it. Some are now estimating it happens 2.5-10x more than Pfizer’s trials stated. … In the Atlantic Article they say, “Taste disruption (a.k.a. dysgeusia) is the most straightforward of the Paxlovid mysteries, because any sudden onset of soapy-grapefruit-penny flavor can be attributed to the antiviral with a decent amount of confidence. In its only published trial of the drug, conducted in unvaccinated, high-risk patients, Pfizer found that 5.6 percent of Paxlovid-takers experienced dysgeusia, compared with 0.3 percent of those who got the placebo.” This seems impossible based on the number of people I know that have taken it and the number of people with this side effect, myself as well. More than even the number of people who rebounded. The Atlantic Article states, “Paul Sax, the clinical director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, told me he suspects “way more than half” of the people who’ve taken Paxlovid have experienced the taste.” It’s not adding up! Why are the statistics from Pfizer’s Trials so off? … Never forget, how different the real world data is from trial data sometimes before you say, “trust the science,” solely based on trial data. You might be trusting in another Vioxx.

(20): And finally, censorship! Never ever ever forget this one! I know this one well. I’ve been censored on Facebook (FB), on Twitter, on Clubhouse (CH), on Instagram (IG), on Tik Tok (TT), and on Youtube (YT). Before the Pandemic, I never had been censored ever. I don’t say controversial things like there are nano-particle computer chips in the Covid Vaccines. I talk about my family and friends’ issues with their Covid Vaccines and their injuries. That is not always allowed, in this day in age though. Never mind the media actively helping Facebook to censor (#6), never mind the media purposely misreporting on a vaccine injury (#7), or just omitting them (#8), regular people have trouble even discussing their own Covid or Covid Vaccine Injuries on social media. On Facebook you have to speak in code so you don’t go to FB Jail or your private FB Group doesn’t get shut down (like I know they have been) talking about your Covid Vaccine Injury. Twitter allows for mass reporters to take your account out for an undisclosed amount of time with no explanation (TT and others too). Clubhouse seems to favor suspending people that say certain things over people that say other things they may agree with. On Instagram you can’t search for the hashtag #naturalimmunity, #vaccineinjury, and others. People have to black out letters on IG so the algorithm can’t read words such as Covid or Vaccine. They will take vaccine related posts down. They took one down for me where I was simply analyzing public VAERS data. Google uses its algorithm to suppress things they want suppressed, which is why people use DuckDuckGo and other search engines now. YouTube censors you if you talk about vaccine injuries, like it did to me in the first video I ever tried to put on YT. They’re actively keeping people from discussing their real problems and getting help and support, because social media has opinions and they are directed by the government, which is incredibly harmful. You can’t legislate truth because what you think might be true, especially in a pandemic, sometimes isn’t. What happens then is whatever the powers that be what to push, is what gets pushed. It basically becomes propaganda. We don’t want that! The government shouldn’t be working with social media to help censor people! BUT it is! … Never forget, the deplorable censorship going on by those that should uphold free speech. The social media companies deserve all the smoke coming their way when the pandemic cools down. What they have done during this pandemic is unAmerican and damaging.

Other Things to Never Forget:

  • Divisive comments by President Biden including, “this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Of course this was before he took multiple Covid Shots, got Covid, and needed to take Paxlovid. — https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/09/09/remarks-by-president-biden-on-fighting-the-covid-19-pandemic-3/
  • Dr. Rochelle Walensky of the CDC also repeated the phrase “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
  • Moderna’s former CEO, who recently left, Stephane Bancel received a “golden parachute” of nearly $1 billion. Yes you read that right and it’s not a typo! His parting reward was $926.5 million. — https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/10/moderna-ceos-golden-parachute-soared-by-hundreds-of-millions-over-the-pandemic.html

  • CICP (Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program) backlog + only one person compensated for injury so far, with 1.4 million+ injuries reported to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). “Until March 2020, the CICP attracted little attention, deciding fewer than 500 cases in its entire history. It’s now drowning in a 16-fold spike in claims, with more than 5,400 COVID-19 vaccine injury cases pending. Another 2,990 alleged injuries or death from other COVID-19 countermeasures, such as being placed on a ventilator. As of June 1, CICP had evaluated and rejected 31 COVID-related claims (including Flint’s) and approved one, for a person who had an anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine. The amount of compensation in that case has not yet been determined. At the current rate of adjudication – 18 cases a month, by my calculation – it will take 38 years to get through the backlog. That’s not much help for claimants who are unable to work or pay rent right now.” There are only more cases being added to the docket by the day. The government needs to refrom the CICP and add more personel to deal with all the current cases.— https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/covid-vaccine-injury-plaintiffs-face-long-odds-us-compensation-program-2022-06-16/
  • Influencers paid to promote the Covid Vaccines on social media. — https://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/wireStory/us-turns-social-media-influencers-boost-vaccine-rates-79373529
  • Handling of the elderly when sick with Covid, namely sending them back to the nursing homes from hospitals to recover where they infected many others. Many of whom later died. A few Governors did this, one being Governor Cuomo of New York, without any accountability or liability, yet. His aides also tried to hide the death toll. — https://www.nytimes.com/article/andrew-cuomo-nursing-home-deaths.html, https://apnews.com/article/new-york-andrew-cuomo-us-news-coronavirus-pandemic-nursing-homes-512cae0abb55a55f375b3192f2cdd6b5
  • Project Veritas undercover videos of people who work for J&J & Pfizer saying what they really think about the Covid Vaccines.
  • The constant repetition of “safe and effective” on endless Covid Vaccine commercials.
  • The government giving out what felt like bribes to try to convince people to get the Covid Vaccine shot: million dollar lottery, donuts, $100 to kids, etc. — https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/19/million-dollar-lotteries-vaccines-494989
  • The government of New York played a game of chicken with hospital workers, saying they needed to get a booster vaccine by a certain date. They gave up the mandate right before the date they stated, but at that point many had received the Covid Booster, even though some didn’t want to get it. All because they thought they would be fired. — https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/new-york-state-backs-off-covid-vaccine-booster-mandate-for-health-care-workers/71-1e3f2324-bc24-42aa-aa28-4022d5931391

  • VAERS is significantly understaffed, at least this is what I’ve been told, but can’t confirm online. This sure seems to be the case to those that have reported an injury. What I’ve been told is they have 60-80 people working on VAERS, which is far too few with 1.4 million+ reports for Covid Vaccine Injuries alone, and hundreds of thousands more to come in the future in the very least. There’s not a peep of fixing this faulty system. It’s almost like they don’t want to know. What is actually happening with the medical records they collect? Why isn’t the media digging into this?
  • “If you get Covid you’ll only be sick for 2 weeks,” which is what we were told in the beginning of the pandemic. Millions of Covid Long Haulers beg to differ.
  • Quarantine guidelines all over the map, 14 days, 5 days, etc. — https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s1227-isolation-quarantine-guidance.html
  • After all the talk of Long Haul Covid, and money put aside for studies, where is the help? It’s been more than 2.5+ years.
  • Various Covid rules: masking in restaurant and then eating and drinking without it, unvaccinated US citizens can fly to USA, but non-citizens unvaccinated can’t, 6 feet apart rule, vaccine passports in other countries etc. — https://jp.usembassy.gov/us-travel-requirements/
  • Use of fear, shame, and other tactics (not that there shouldn’t be any fear): you’re going to kill grandma (Cuomo again), you’re selfish if you don’t get vaccinated, you’re uncaring if you don’t get vaccinated, you’re going to die, trust the science (dummy), take it to protect your friends and family, etc. — https://www.yahoo.com/now/cuomo-says-unvaccinated-people-could-200045033.html
  • Dr. Rochelle Walensky is revamping and fixing the CDC because they’ve handled the pandemic so poorly. — https://time.com/6207887/cdc-covid-19-revamp-rochelle-walensky-interview/
  • Gaslighting of those with Long Haul Covid & Covid Vaccine Injuries by doctors and others. I’ve experienced it, and so have my friends and family, and most everyone with these conditions. — https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/feb/03/long-covid-fight-recognition-gaslighting-pandemic
  • The foolishness and uncaringness of people is evident. Whether it’s the general population, the scientific field, the government, big business, or the media/social media. They all have their major faults. We have Covid deniers, Long Haul Covid Deniers/Gaslighters, and Covid Vaccine Injury Deniers/Gaslighters. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s clear people can’t sustain an altered form of life in order to protect themselves and others, or care for other people who have different concerns then them. Try getting Long Haul Covid and then you’ll have no choice.

  • And finally, the FDA wanted 75 years, or until 2097, to release 450,000 pages of Pfizer Covid Vaccine Safety Data. A judge said you have 8 months. Of course that seems more than fair as the FDA took less than 4 months to review the documents and approve the Pfizer Covid Vaccine. Seems suspicious that they want to keep this from the public for so long. — https://denvergazette.com/news/judge-scraps-75-year-fda-timeline-to-release-pfizer-vaccine-safety-data-giving-agency-eight/article_f007b8b4-ad66-59b4-a270-4709bc3e4814.html

Fluvoxamine & Tollovid Updates + Vedicinals 9

  • September 15, 2022July 31, 2023

Fluvoxamine & Tollovid Updates + Vedicinals 9


Let’s get right into it.

Fluvoxamine – I’ve been on Fluvoxamine for almost 17 months now. Originally, I worked my way up slowly to 100mg (50mg/50mg) per day. I’m now on a dose of 50 mg (25mg/25mg) per day. At 100mg, I felt it was causing some neurological side effects, namely heart pounding, even though it was helping me immensely at the same time. At 50mg, I do not notice that so much. It’s still very helpful for my neck pain/inflammation and my brain inflammation/fog. At one point 50mg would not have been sufficient, but at this point, 2 years & 7 months into this, it is. Very happy I decided to take this. It’s prevented me a lot of grief, cognitive dysfunction, and probably neurological weakness along the way. I’ll be even happier when I can slowly wean off. I’ve tried a few times, but was not ready (head would inflame and cognitive dysfunction would come on).

Tollovid – For 4.5 months I’ve been taking Tollovid Max on and off, mostly on. It’s been largely taken by me at the full dose (3 4x a day). Throughout this period I’ve experimented with taking different doses, and not taking it at all. The last week or so I’ve been taking 3 2x a day, which is working well for me. There is a noticeable difference in brain power and energy when I’m on it, as opposed to when I’m off it for a few days. It’s been helpful for my Long Haul COVID as well as my Acute Cvoid when I was likely reinfected by BA.5, more than 2 months ago. It’s hard to say how long I will need to be on it. Reinfection really makes it difficult to judge. No noticeable side effects (other than stool discoloration), but I will keep my eye on things as some have discussed potential liver issues. They are unconfirmed, and were later resolved in the cases I’ve heard of. Again I think it can be hard to judge what’s causing what sometimes as reinfection and vaccination are such a large influences.

Vedicinals 9 – Just started Vedicinals 9 about a week ago. The Backstreet Boys Rock Your Body song comes to mind because … it rocked my body. At first, maybe for half a day, I noticed an energy boost from 25 ml. Then I took the 2nd dose, ughhh. Neuro, chest, weakness, and GI all flared or increased. Brain cognition was horrible. I tried to endure at the full dose 50 ml (25ml/25ml) per day, but after 2 days of that misery, I had to stop. It was hard to function at all. Next I took a 2 day rest before I decided to try half the dose (12.5mg/12.5mg) per day. That went better, but the side effects were still too much after 2 days of that. After I take a break I will likely try 1/4 the dose of the total typical daily dose. It feels like a herxheimer reaction to me, but I’m trying to get an answer on that. May have to incorporate some form of detoxing. Good news is that the side effects wear off mostly in a few days. I’ve experienced something that I felt was somewhat similar when I took very strong, concentrated herbs for Lyme and coinfections. Byron White Formulas, A-BIo in particular, gave me an outstanding, even worse than this, herx from just 1 drop. In theory, it’s a good thing, but you want a herx to be bearable and not overloading. Before I restart Vedicinals 9, I’m going to reach out to the company and ask them some more questions: regarding my reaction, some questionable ingredients, etc.

More updates to come in the future as long as Monkeypox or Polio doesn’t kill me!

Covid Long Haul

Symptoms Galore: My Long Haul COVID


This post is pretty straightforward. It’s an incomplete list of all my Long Haul COVID symptoms, because let’s face it, I’m probably forgetting some over the course of 2.5+ years … which is actually one of the symptoms. I’ve broken them into categories for simplicity (some could go across multiple categories, so you may have to search if you’re looking for something specific). May add more symptoms to the list in time, but I’ve listed 170 symptoms that I’ve had at one point or another. Luckily I do not have most of these anymore.

Lesson Time: Theranos

  • August 9, 2022July 31, 2023
  • by Devin Russell

Lesson Time: Theranos


The story of Theranos is an amazing one, and a good parallel to some things occurring today. It’s filled with lessons. These types of stories people should always remember, as they are not that rare (Enron, Bernie Madoff, and many other frauds committed by large companies and others). I hear many people say these days: how could you fool that many people, it’s been years we would know by now, trust the _____, there are too many people involved for them not to know or say anything, etc. etc. Theranos was a startup biotech health company formed in 2003 that claimed to use blood from a finger prick, as opposed to a blood draw from a vein, to perform hundreds of blood tests (1). Elizabeth Holmes was the CEO of that company. It operated for 13 years, until the masses learned that it was all a fraud (2).

The first person schmoozed by Elizabeth Holmes was her Stanford Professor, who actually quit his job to work at Theranos. He called Elizabeth a genius (3). By 2006 the company had raised $40 million from investors, including almost $6 million from Rupert Murdoch. His net worth is currently $21.7 billion and he’s the 71st richest person on Earth. She was great at schmoozing. Elizabeth then brought George Schultz, former Secretary of State, in to recruit these high level people to be on the board of Theranos (not limited to):

  • Henry Kissinger: former Secretary of State
  • Jim Mattis: 4 star general, former head of U.S. Central Command who later became Defense Secretary
  • Bill Frisk: former U.S. Senator
  • Sam Nunn: former U.S. Senator

They believed what they were told by Elizabeth and the company (4). So did investor Larry Ellison, net worth $97 billion, making him the 10th wealthiest person on Earth. Theranos used Larry Ellison when refusing to share financials with investors, by using his stature to say, why are you asking for the financials, you’re not brighter than Larry Ellison. Who are you (5)?

After raising money, the company began to add new scientists, such as Erika Cheung, who was originally star struck by Elizabeth Holmes the first time she met her (3). Erika, and her fellow scientists, would come to realize in time how secretive it was at the lab. The more Erika Cheung learned, the more she wondered why Theranos higher ups were being so secretive (6). Almost every day she told the upper brass the blood testing device was not working right. She would send emails to colleagues complaining of all this, until one day the COO of Theranos, Sunny Balwani, responded to them. He had not been CCed or BCCed in these emails. Erika found that concerning, but she also noticed things the scientists said in the lab privately with one another would be reiterated to them as well. She felt as if they were being treated as if they could potentially be traitors (7).

Still, not many were really the wiser to what was occuring at Theranos. Holmes at the time was lobbying to change the law so anyone can get easy access testing in Arizona, as the company had secured a deal to be present in Walgreens. She was doing press conferences with the Arizona Governor, Doug Ducey. Everyone just kept on assuming it was legitimate (8). What was really going on behind the curtain was that Theranos would collect the blood at Walgreens and send it to a lab in Palo Alto, CA because their blood testing device was so unreliable. In the lab they used modified 3rd party machines and diluted the blood. There were many instances they knew they made a mistake and they would not let the scientists tell patients to get a redraw because they didn’t want people to know the errors that were occurring (9).

Erika got pushback from everyone in the company as she went higher and higher up. They told her it wasn’t the technology’s fault. Elizabeth said so much as well. The fault was due to the employees and not the technology, she stated. Sunny said to Erika you need to decide if you want to work here and test patient samples without question. Erika quit. She started working there in 2013 and quit in 2014. How many scientists and people kept working for Theranos, even though they knew what they were doing was wrong and the company was lying (10)?

Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani fooled most everyone, including Walgreens, and the fooling would continue. Rupert Murdock invested another $100 million, The Walton Family, of which Rob, Jim, and Alice collectively have $212 billion in wealth, invested $150 million, and the DeVos Family, worth $5.4 billion, invested $100 million. This all brought Elizabeth’s net worth to $4.5 billion at the time and Theranos’ valuation to $9 billion at the time (11).

By summer of 2014 Holmes was everywhere. She was featured on the front page of Inc., Forbes, Fortune, and Bloomberg magazine. In 2015, she met with former U.S. President Bill Clinton at the 2015 Clinton Global initiative where he interviewed her. She also received praise from now current U.S. President Joe Biden, saying Theranos’ laboratory was “the laboratory of the future” after being brought in and shown a fake laboratory. You read that right, they set up a fake laboratory and fooled Joe Biden. She was fooling everyone, including the best, brightest, and wealthiest left and right.

As this was going on, the company had a problem. People were beginning to speak up. Erika felt like she was crazy until she was aware other people were talking about Theranos issues (12). Sunny wrote texts to Elizabeth saying, I’ve worked this down to 5 people. “We will nail this mother f*****. (13)” After this takes place, Erika realizes a private investigator is tailing her all over town. One day a guy jumps out of the tinted window SUV and hands her a letter addressed to her at a friend’s place, where she has been living. She was just staying there temporarily, no one could have known that address. The letter accuses her of defamation and discussing trade secrets. It threatens a lawsuit against her and David Boies, a high powered prominent lawyer working for Theranos, had signed it.

It goes from bad to worse for Theranos as the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) proceeds to launch an attack. Holmes quickly gets on TV and says she’s shocked by the allegations in the WSJ article. She keeps lying, at least somewhat believing her own nonsense. She calls the WSJ Journalist a sexiest bully, and she plays the victim. She threatened the journalist and WSJ with litigation. Sunny also threatened the doctors that spoke to this journalist on record and tried to get them to recant. Holmes and Sunny were actually the real bullies (14).

Eventually, it didn’t end well for Holmes. She gets banned from running a lab for 2 years, but she says the company will not fold. She was wrong. Theranos eventually dissolved in 2018. Holmes and Sunny were indicted on wire fraud. Holmes is found guilty, even though she tried to blame many others at the trial, of 4 counts of defrauding investors. Holmes will be sentenced later in 2022. Sunny is awaiting trial.

One more insane detail about the Theranos/Elizabeth Holmes saga is that apparently she was using a fake deep voice the entire time. In a 2005 interview she’s heard using her normal voice briefly, until she remembers to use her fake deep voice. The lengths people will go to lie for their own greed and fame is astounding (15). Watch the American Greed episode on Theranos & Elizabeth Holmes if you need to see it to believe it.

IMPORTANT LESSONS:

  • (1) When you hear something that’s too good to be true, it probably is.
  • (2) Theranos fooled most everyone for 13 years and kept their fraudulence under wraps. The company was well known. It just proves you can fool many a long time until it’s reported widely by the media, or until the masses catch on and accept the change.
  • (3) Don’t look at people as idols, especially scientists. This will muddy your ability to critically think as you will become enamored with someone, a technology, or just an idea and be swallowed into the lie instead of realizing it.
  • (4) Don’t blindly believe what you’re told. Researching fairly and honestly is important. How many people blindly believed Elizabeth Holmes for more than a decade without doing their due diligence to the best of their ability or any ability?
  • (5) It’s always a big red flag when authority is brought up instead of information, reasoning, etc. Don’t stand for it. Talk about ideas, facts, data, well reasoned opinion and make the person you’re arguing with do the same.
  • (6) Trust your instincts. If there is a veil of secrecy around something and it doesn’t make sense as to why, there is probably something wrong.
  • (7) If you’re being treated in an intimidating way to keep you from speaking the truth, do something about it. It’s not always easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.
  • (8) Don’t assume something is legitimate because smart people believe it. In this situation they were lies to and they blindly believed the narrative, got fooled by a con which caused more people to be fooled by association.
  • (9) Big red flag, when profits and valuation matter more than the patients. You can’t do that in the health industry when someone’s health is at risk, but it’s not exactly uncommon. One reason why you can’t blabber “trust the science” so confidently because there are ulterior motivations for people and corporations.
  • (10) Being a good foot soldier and never questioning anything, not what I’m about, nor Erika. Good for her! Why should she just shut up and continue to do what’s wrong (and really evil)? Unfortunately, most do not stand up to what’s wrong, and even for Erika, it took her time. … Lies will lead to the questioning of everything. An unintended consequence of our current times not yet fully realized I have no doubt.
  • (11) This notion that you can’t fool a lot of people once an idea, belief, and groupthink takes hold is nonsensical. It’s easier than one would think. Elizabeth Holmes fooled billionaires left and right, the press, all her investors, prominent people like Bill Clinton and Joe Biden, etc. etc.. Everyone was enamored with her and her technology. Too blinded by the lights to see the truth.
  • (12) It takes a while for people to speak up, and it takes a lot for them to do it. They risk a lot. Erika lost her job, got threatened, followed, etc. She had to go against the grain, where the grain thought Elizabeth Holmes was amazing and her company Theranos was as well. These people will even question themselves as if reality isn’t reality, like Erika did, because they feel so alone and on an island, while everyone else, or at least the majority, plus the media, believes something else that is mainstream prevailing thought.
  • (13) When someone who is lying feels threatened, they will come after you an attack you personally. Which is partly why so many are scared to speak up with the lies and wrong things they see.
  • (14) Liars sometimes have convinced themselves of the lie they’re spouting. Sometimes they will also name call when backed into a corner, instead of discussing the facts or accusations. This is a red flag as well. Those who can’t enter into the conversation are probably hiding something or know they’re wrong. The ones shouting they are being bullied by others are often the bullying/censoring types I’ve noticed. We see a lot of bullying and censorship going on this day in age.
  • (15) Many people and corporations will do whatever they can to obtain fame and profit. Always remember that, and don’t underestimate it.
COVID Vaccine

Moderna vs. Pfizer – VAERS

Moderna vs. Pfizer – VAERS


Before a Covid Vaxxx sympathizer jumps out of the bushes to yell at me in an ole timey voice “you can’t use VAERS it’s self-reported data” let’s just nip that in the bud right away. You can’t cavalierly ignore VAERS in this instance and I’ll explain why.

This article is delving into Moderna vs. Pfizer VAERS Covid Vaccine Injury reports (& I’ve added Johnson & Johnson at the end). Since it’s such a large number of reports, wonder why, the amount of the Covid Vaccine Injury VAERS reports not related to the Covid Vaccines, but mistakenly reported, has no bearing because the ratio of true Covid Vaccine Injuries between manufacturers should stay basically the same. UT OH!

There is a major mathematical problem that you will see below and I believe I know why it’s occurring. This is really vital as this is not easy to brush off and it seems like more evidence suggesting a certain something is bad news bears. Math time first, my favorite and a vaxxx apologist’s least favorite since they’ve clearly stopped thinking: 

  • Total VAERS Reports (2021) – 790,874
  • Covid-19 VAERS Reports (2021) – 735,662 (93% of all reports)
  • Unknown VAERS Reports (2021) – 31,533 (4%, which perhaps brings Covid-19 VAERS reports up to 97% of the reports, probably at least to 96%) 
  • Moderna Covid VAERS Reports (2021) – 339,319
  • Pfizer Covid VAERS Reports (2021) – 330,792

There have been 51.7% more Pfizer shots administered than Moderna of December 30, 2021 (the Covid Vaccination Campaign started 12/2020) which is 293.86 million Pfizer doses vs. 193.65 million Moderna doses. (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-vaccine-doses-by-manufacturer?country=~USA) BUT for some reason there are 2.5% more Moderna VAERS Covid Vaccine Injury reports in 2021, or 8,527 more reports. 

There were 330,792 Pfizer VAERS Covid Vaccine Injury reports, and let’s pretend Moderna shots caused the same amount of injuries (as a ratio to shots administered). There should be 217,988 Moderna VAERS Covid Vaccine Injury reports. 112,804 LESS than Pfizer. Instead there are 8,527 MORE. Why?

The most obvious reason is that mRNA Moderna doses are stronger vaccine doses than the mRNA Pfizer ones. Moderna shots are 100 micrograms (50 microgram boosters) and Pfizer’s are 30 micrograms. What is exactly occurring with an mRNA vaccine one might ask? Well the proteins made with mRNA instructions activate the immune system, teaching it to see the spike protein as foreign. The body then creates antibodies.

Moderna’s vaccine generates more than double the antibodies seen for Pfizer’s vaccine (closer to triple). (https://www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20210901/moderna-vaccine-creates-more-antibodies-than-pfizer-vaccine-study) Furthermore, “at 14–119 days after the second dose, anti-spike ‘protein’ IgG levels were higher among controls fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine compared with those who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine among persons aged 18–64 years (median = 612 versus 340; p = 0.018) and ≥65 years (median = 792 versus 152; p<0.001). At ≥120 days, anti-spike IgG levels were also higher among controls fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine compared with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine among persons aged 18–64 years (median = 267 versus 106; p = 0.006) and ≥65 years (median = 266 versus 57; p = 0.003).” (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7049a2.htm) Also, Moderna protects longer than Pfizer and has higher efficacy. This seems all great until you remember more people get injured by the Moderna Covid Vaccines by ratio, according to VAERS (and if you look at restrictions and recommendations SEVERAL countries have put on Moderma Covid Vaccines, which we really haven’t seen with Pfizer), than those who take the Pfizer Covid Vaccines. The answer I think lies above. Anti-spike IgG levels are higher in those vaccinated with Moderna and so are antibody levels. This makes sense seeing as how Moderna is more than 3x the strength of Pfizer. 

What am I suggesting? More spike protein, more problems. This data certainly seems to back that theory up. If not that, then what’s the reason Moderna Vaccines are injuring more people? mRNA degrades rapidly, so we are told, so it doesn’t seem to be that. Could it be the antibodies themselves? Doesn’t seem likely based on what we know about the injured and how their antibodies wane, but they remain sick despite that (Covid Long Haulers the same). My eyes are brought back to the spike protein, which is where more people’s eyes should be. If you have a better theory on what’s going on with Moderna vs. Pfizer VAERS data I’d love to hear it.

–

Correction (8/1/22): There have been 51.7% more Pfizer shots administered than Moderna of December 30, 2021, not 52.8% like previously stated. Additional data was added to the mix and this percentage has bee changed now to reflect that.

Addition (8/1/22): Johnson & Johnson Covid Vaccines accounted for 63,989 VAERS reports in 2021. 17,613,846 doses of J&J were administered by the end of 2021. The J&J vaccines use a different technology than Moderna & Pfizer, so I originally left them out, but when I discovered their VAERS report rate compared to Moderna & Pfizer, I felt compelled to add this. It’s not pretty. The Elephant Man is better looking. By the end of 2021, 193.65 million Moderna doses were given in the United States and there were 339,319 Covid Vaccine Moderna VAERS reports. Let’s pretend the same amount of J&J shots were provided as Moderna and see how many VAERS reports should have been generated. 703,507 VAERS reports if J&J & Moderna each were administered at 193.65 million doses! That would be 2.07x more reports per shot than Moderna! No wonder it got the axe. And don’t forget, VAERS represents an under reporting.

My Master Treatment List Rankings


It took awhile, but it’s here. My master treatment list with rankings and additional information is “finished.” As finished as it can be until I try something else. With any luck though I won’t have to do one more new thing for Long Haul COVID. This is an extensive list with 150+ medications, supplements, treatments, etc.. If I remember anything else I’ve tried that’s not on here, I will add it, but as of now, all the important things are present. As a bonus, I created a tab for things I have not tried yet, but are of interest to me or other Long Haulers. You can see the list below:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CXrfiD3Eb0E0nKiED1duDcWYrgyVw0A1R2VKgzN_MvU/edit?usp=sharing

Some of the most vital things I’ve done are, in no specific order, other than alphabetical because it will annoy me otherwise:

  1. Aspirin – helped with clotting.
  2. Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractor – was useful for my head/neck inflammation.
  3. Fluvoxamine – vital for my head/neck inflammation and brain fog.
  4. Hyperbaric (Soft & Hard Chamber) – helpful for general inflammation, headaches, & neuro issues.
  5. Ozone (IV) – saved me, brought me back to life when I felt I was going to die.
  6. Prednisone – was tremendous important for my racing heart/heart inflammation.
  7. Regeneron – beneficial for my long haul when I was at a road block. Much better after.
  8. Tollovid – helped further with my long haul & also has been vital for when I get reinfected.

COVID Reinfection: Hard To Avoid, Be Prepared

COVID Reinfection: Hard To Avoid, Be Prepared


COVID reinfection is certainly a thing, as a COVID Long Hauler who has experienced it. It might be harder to avoid than a COVID Vaccine advertisement. They’re everywhere! Can’t watch the Mets without a reminder. Who exactly doesn’t know about them at this point? In this post I’m going to discuss what I do when I feel I’m reinfected and how I judge that I may be reinfected, outside of the weak testing available. 

Reinfection for me feels different dependent on the variant out at the time, but there are a few typical mainstay symptoms and they are: chest tightness/fullness (that can fluctuate in severity), headaches (especially in the beginning of the acute phase), head/neck inflammation, weak limbs (tied to brain stem and neck inflammation it seems), muscle twitching, scratchy throat (dead voice at times), extra neurological unrest (sort of like restless leg syndrome and pins and needles), burping/gas, dry eyes/mouth, fatigue, and an increase in some of the normal COVID Long Haul symptoms. These are mostly symptoms I rarely have, never have, or don’t experience to such severity with my Long Haul COVID, now 2+ years out. These acute symptoms usually last 2-4 weeks peaking around 7-10 days approximately. The duration seems to depend on the severity of the variant, variant type, maybe based on how much it’s mutated, and viral load. Delta was by far my worst reinfection, and I believe I’ve had several. Delta hit my chest very hard.

Recently, I believe I had BA.4 or BA.5. It inflamed my head and neck and I felt it in my chest, along with other symptoms. Testing has not produced many results for me for whatever reason, so when I get the symptoms that I discussed above, I treat it as if I have COVID. To me doing the opposite would be much riskier and more harmful. I’ve had COVID before and know what it feels like. I’ve also had other things before and nothing has hit me like COVID hits me in the chest in particular. It’s unique. It’s also summer, not exactly Flu season. Playing the, I don’t have it unless it shows up in tests game is not a game I like to play, it’s failed me many times in the past and I’ve seen it fail many others. Plus there is further danger of re-exposure if I go try to get a PCR test at a clinic when 20% of the time or more PCR tests show false negatives (https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/96789). Furthermore, the tests are also timing dependent. Not worth it for me. What does getting the test really change? It might be beneficial for someone trying to get a script they couldn’t otherwise get or don’t have already, but that’s not my situation. 

When I get hit with a reinfection, I ramp up my arsenal. I increase my Tollovid uptake (helps noticeably), Hyperbaric Oxygen, Ear Ozone, Powdered C, D, Zinc, slight increase in Aspirin and Nattokinase, keep on my Fluvoxamine, Rife, strong Probiotics (Progurt, Seeking Health, etc.), nebulize Compounded Glutathione, Epsom Salt Baths, etc. This all helps me control how severely sick I get and how I feel during the acute stage as best I can. I have Paxlovid on hand in the event I need it and scope out Monoclonal Antibody places. 

Luckily I’ve been alright after my reinfections. That seems to be the case for most COVID Long Haulers, at least eventually. I worry though the reinfections might cause some additional damage. What am I to do though? The COVID Vaccines have significantly harmed my Mom, Aunt, Godmother, friend, and my mom’s friend, just out of those close to me, and possibly more. Additionally, COVID Long Haulers feel worse about 26% of the time after their shots. It’s not a viable option. Thankfully though my subsequent infections have never been as bad as the initial and Long Haul COVID never restarted, but for up to 2 months I felt worse than baseline.

Tollovid Q&A with Todos Medical

  • May 28, 2022July 30, 2023
  • by Devin Russell

Tollovid Q&A with Todos Medical


1. Does Tollovid prevent viral replication systemically? Does it cross Blood Brain Barrier?

Our belief and observations are that it inhibits the 3CL protease systemically. We do not have BBB studies, however in instances with high 3CL content it is expected the BBB is “leaky” any many things get through. We have seen symptomatic benefits associated with reduction in 3CLpro in the brain, but cannot confirm this without radioactive co-location studies which are not really the best ways to go in this patient population, so we are relying on symptomatic benefit.

2. Has Tollovid been tested with COVID Long Haulers or acute patients? 

Tollovid has primarily been used to date in an acute setting of high 3CLpro content, however we are now seeing it used in cases of persistent 3CLpro content. We expect it to eliminate 3CLpro in either circumstance.

3. Is Tollovid considered similar to Paxlovid and thus a good option if you can’t get that when you have acute COVID?

The mechanism of action of Tollovid is the same as Paxlovid (although we target the receptor binding domain of the 3CLpro – the active site, whereas Pfizer does not).

4. Can Tollovid be taken long term? If it can be, how long and at what dose? Any toxicity or side effects with it? 

We have not observed any side effects with long term use of Tollovid, however we do not have formal studies so cannot confirm this. We have not found side effects other than soy allergy to the soy lecithin in the product.

5. What’s the difference in the Tollovid Daily and Max?

Max has much greater 3CLpro inhibition capabilities than Daily … approximately 5-10x stronger.

6. Any issue using Tollovid long term in terms of a reduction in effectiveness against COVID?

Doubtful that 3CLpro will mutate given the target is a derivative of SARS-CoV-2, and therefore no evolutionary pressures on it. This target has not mutated and is deemed ‘canonical’ because it appears variant. The biggest mutation risk is likely Molnupiravir.

7. Does Tollovid work on other viruses? Would it help with EBV, Herpes, etc.?

It inhibits the 3CLpro. You can see the areas in which 3CLpro is present. You can scroll down to the subviruses associated with it. Including Nidoviruses, Picornaviruses, and Caliciviridae.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3C-like_protease

8. Do you think taking Tollovid after a course of Paxlovid makes sense to combat the rebound effect many. myself included, face?

That may make sense as it appears there is sometimes significant residual 3CLpro following Paxlovid.

9. Are there any contraindications with Tollovid? 

None that I’m aware of.

10. Does Tollovid change the color of your stool (does it make it darker or black)? 

Yes, it makes the stool darker by virtue of the Gromwell Root. This is completely normal and no side effect. Gromwell is also used as a natural purple colorant.

11. What is the difference between Tollovid and Tollovir?

The 3CL protease inhibition mechanism is the same in all three [including Paxlovid] (although Tollovir and Tollovid target the active site of the 3CLpro). Tollovir has an enhanced key anti-cytokine/anti-inflammatory component that very much differentiates it from Tollovid/Paxlovid.

12. Have you noticed people having Herxheimer reactions to Tollovid? 

We haven’t had that specific diagnosis, but have heard of people having an initial ‘reaction’ that subsides within 24h followed by benefit. We are looking into this further.

13. What’s the recommended dose for Acute COVID and Long Haulers with COVID? 

The recommended acute dose (Tollovid Max 3 pill 4x a day) is recommended for people looking to dramatically reduce their 3CL pro content. How long someone has had 3CLpro in their system may be different than ‘how much’ and ‘where’ so we recommend going with the Max dosing to start and then based upon resolution transitioning (at whatever pace a person feels right for them) to the maintenance dose. 

14. People in Europe are asking me if and how they can get this. How can non Americans get Tollovid?

People have been ordering from Europe, and it gets through customs. Often, they charge a local duty based on the commercial invoice. Hope this helps.

Tollovid aka CovidRid?

  • May 23, 2022July 30, 2023

Tollovid aka CovidRid?


Yes, the title for this article is lame, but don’t worry I know it is lame, so it’s ok. With that being said, for almost 3 weeks I’ve been on Tollovid. I’ve had a significant shift in my health for the better, but it’s not that simple. It never is. As I reduce the dose I’ve felt what seems like a rebound effect, which has been seen in some who take Paxlovid. (https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/10/opinions/paxlovid-rebound-covid-treatment-sepkowitz/index.html) It’s something similar to what I also have experienced with Paxlovid and Monoclonal Antibodies, Paxlovid especially. It’s not a negative in my mind, but it’s brought on some different symptoms that I haven’t experienced so strongly in a while. I’m going to provide more detail about all this, and what this rebound feels like below, but first let me explain what Tollovid is for those who don’t know.

Tollovid is a supplement made by Todos Medical. It’s main components are Gromwell Root and Lecithin. It is a 3CL protease inhibitor, similar to Paxlovid, thus it acts as an antiviral agent by stopping replication of SARS-CoV-2, and other Coronaviruses. It also helps with inflammation, circulation, and detoxification, amongst other things, but the 3CL protease inhibitor aspect is the most intriguing to me.

My Tollovid journey started about 20 days ago. For the first 14 days I took Tollovid Max 4x a day 3 pills at a time. That is the maximum dose and they suggest to take that for 5 days straight (seems to be the dosage used for those in an acute situation, but I am a COVID Long Hauler). This went very well. I have more brain power, energy, was in a better mood, and was much more active. My inflammation in my torso in particular decreased and my urine color changed for the better and stool became more normalized. The symptoms I had at the time were mitigated a lot. On top of that, I’ve also been coughing up a lot of phlegm. The Tollovid really kicked in in a couple of days and the noticed benefits continued. During this period I was amazing inspired to go through all my stuff, which was a lot, to organize and get rid of things. This was never a thought before taking Tollovid.

On to Phase 2, finding the correct reduced dose for me. I’m still in this phase and it’s complicated, and interesting. Day 15 I decided to drop to the recommended maintenance dose of 2 pills 2x a day which is 33% of the max dose. With this change I experienced what felt like a rebound, very similar to what I experienced the first day coming off of Paxlovid after taking it for 5 days straight. My symptoms shifted and came on strong, up and down throughout the day. With Paxlovid, I had a wild nervous system reaction, increased blood pressure, and had a very tough time for about 2 days, until it gradually dissipated after 7 days. The next few days, after day 15, I increased my dose to 3 pills 2x a day, 2-2-3 pills in a day, and now the past several days I’ve done 3 pills 3x a day, which seems to be working well for me for now. The symptoms I experienced were/are increased inflammation in the head (headaches, pain on side of head), chest, heart, nerves (extra weakness at times, some pins and needles), and joints in particular all worse from the baseline from before I started the Tollovid, but with a big up and down swing throughout the day. It was certainly not as severe as going off Paxlovid cold turkey and it is better now on day 20. The spots affected were the hot spots from the past 2 plus years with COVID, but weren’t exactly the main issues I had when I started the supplement. Phase 3 is how long do I have to take this for and what will be the true maintenance dose.

With Monoclonal Antibodies, which I used for my Long Haul COVID, the symptoms I was experiencing at the time quickly improved, two of which were chest inflammation and joint pain. My neuro symptoms came on strong for about a month, up and down (more up and down than normal). With Paxlovid, used for an Acute COVID Reinfection (and Long Haul COVID), it took away my chest inflammation very fast and helped with the acute symptoms overall. The day I came off I had an extreme rebound effect, that I explained above. That first day off was really difficult to get through. I basically went back to my Long Haul (LH) baseline, with a tiny bit of improvement in my LH, after a week off of the Paxlovid. With the Tollovid, my Long Haul COVID symptoms at the time were also helped quickly and continued to improve while taking the max dose. Once I reduced the dose, I felt what I assume was that dreaded rebound effect. Symptoms shifted and they increased in intensity from where they were baseline with a big up and down swing. They all acted similarly, but they don’t all do the same things, except for one thing that they do.

So what’s happening here? I believe all three of these things were working on persistent COVID-19 virus. What else explains these similar reactions? What is the cross-over between these 3 things other than they are working against the virus? mAbs are an infusion of antibodies which will help combat the virus. Paxlovid and Tollovid are 3CL protease inhibitors which prevent viral replication. Tollovid has various benefits, but do the other 2 have various benefits? To me this screams persistent virus, which I have believed all along. It’s hard to figure out exactly why I’ve had these reactions, meaning what is actually going on in the body to get that rebound, increased inflammation effect, but it is not uncommon with other viruses and medications. Tollovid does seem to give me a little herx right after I take it, another indication I have persistent virus. A herx is a die off reaction by the way. In the very least to me it indicates Covid can persist in some, and may be a big reason for Long Haul Covid. I’ll continue to take Tollovid and provide an update in the future.


UPDATE – 7/30/23

Still taking Tollovid to this day. I’ve settled on 3 pills 2x day, but when I’m running low I take 3 pills 1x a day, and even that helps me. I can notice when I have increased symptoms that after taking Tollovid they will reduce in short time. If I don’t take Tollovid for a period, symptoms will increase (not as much as they used to). I’m much more functional now and currently on an RV trip creating a docuseries called “Castaways.” Tollovid expensive, but at a maintenance dose it’s manageable, and for me it’s a very valuable part of my regiment. I wouldn’t say it’s a CovidRid, but it’s very much helping with what I assume is persistent COVID and with coinfections I’m quite confident I’ve had.

VAERS Data: COVID Vaccines vs. Other Vaccines

VAERS Data: COVID Vaccines vs. Other Vaccines


Comparing COVID Vaccines to other vaccines has been a motivation for me as I’ve questioned the general notion of their equality in safety. It’s a difficult thing to analyze though. Anyone who pretends otherwise is probably not being fair-minded. I decided to find out how many vaccinations were administered for COVID-19 compared to all other vaccinations combined since 1990, when VAERS was created, and how the vaccine injuries reported to VAERS stack up. Note, this is not necessarily the best way to analyze the safety of COVID Vaccines vs other vaccines (not that there are many great ways based on the data available), but I do think doing this analyzation raises some valid questions and points out some red flags 🚩. Before I go into my findings, let me first explain VAERS and it’s intended purpose.

“The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines. VAERS is co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (possible side effects) after a person has received a vaccination. Anyone can report an adverse event to VAERS. … VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern.” Some of the purposes of VAERS include:

  • Detect new, unusual, or rare vaccine adverse events;
  • Monitor increases in known adverse events;
  • Identify potential patient risk factors for particular types of adverse events;
  • Assess the safety of newly licensed vaccines;
  • Determine and address possible reporting clusters (e.g., suspected localized [temporally or geographically] or product-/batch-/lot-specific adverse event reporting);
  • Recognize persistent safe-use problems and administration errors;
  • Provide a national safety monitoring system that extends to the entire general population for response to public health emergencies, such as a large-scale pandemic influenza vaccination program.

Submitted reports to VAERS are checked by experts, including: doctors, pharmacists, and statisticians. The more serious adverse events are given further scrutiny. VAERS initially detected a dangerous intestinal obstruction linked to RotaShield, a rotavirus vaccine that was withdrawn from the market by the manufacturer. From the years of 2011-2014, VAERS collected an average of 30,000 reports each year of vaccine adverse events.

It was a painstaking process to gather and calculate the number of vaccines given in the United States by type since 1990. It was a harder task than expected. You’d think this data would be readily available, but it’s never that easy is it?

What I found was that from 1990-2021 approximately 5.63 billion non-COVID Vaccine doses have been administered (probably a few hundred million more than that, but can’t find all the data). 569 million Sars-Cov-2 Vaccinations have been administered in less than a year and a half (up to 4/16/22). It’s safe to say there have been at least 10 times more non-COVID Vaccines administered than COVID Vaccinations since 1990 (32-33 years). You can see the data here:

As of April 15, 2022 there have been 2,108,012 total adverse events reported to VAERS since 1990. 1,237,645 of those adverse events have been reported due to the COVID Vaccinations. 36,724 total reported deaths to VAERS and 27,349 are reported in relation to the COVID Vaccines.

Let’s do some math, since I love math. 58.7% of the adverse events reported to VAERS are for the COVID Vaccinations (1.42x more than other vaccinations). 64.8% of the hospitalizations listed on VAERS are for the COVID Vaccinations (1.84x more). 74.5% of the deaths reported to VAERS are for the COVID Vaccinations (2.92 x more). Don’t forget there have been at least 10x the number of non-COVID Vaccinations administered the last 32+ years, so multiply all these numbers by 10 and you get … 14.2x more likely to report an adverse event for the COVID Vaccines, 18.4x more likely to report a hospitalization for the COVID Vaccines, and 29.2x more likely to report a death after the COVID Vaccinations compared to all other types combined. These figures are actually higher than this and growing by the day.

Of course we are not supposed to use VAERS outside of its intended purpose, BUT this seems like a red flag 🚩in the very least. It’s kind of hard to see this data and think absolutely nothing of it. Those would be some serious mental gymnastics you would have to do to not believe this data should be scrutinized any further.

VAERS is supposed to be a signaling system, so what is going on here? I know many who have been seriously injured by the COVID Vaccines, some have reported their problems, and have received phone calls from “VAERS” asking for their medical records (sometimes they ask the same individual more than once, which doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence). What are they doing with this information? Not in theory or the utopian world. What is actually taking place with COVID Vaccine Injury data and these medical records? How are they going to make a medical connection to a COVID Vaccine in the vast majority of cases since there is no easy way to test for a vaccine injury? 29.2x more reports of deaths than all other vaccines combined seems like a safety signal (it’s still egregiously lopsided even if you just analyze the past couple of years of vaccinations, when VAERS was even more easily accessible due to technology advancements since in 1990). Maybe I’m wrong to look at this as an obvious safety signal … or maybe our system is failing us at the worst time. It’s hard to fathom a situation where they are not overwhelmed with injury reports. There have been more adverse events reported to VAERS the last year and a half, than the 31 years prior. Lots of questions here that need answers. I wish the mainstream media would dig deeper to find out what’s going on behind the scenes. COVID Vaccine Injuries are not trivial. COVID health related matters matter more than COVID Vaccine Injuries that can be just as serious. That’s a sad reality.

We know VAERS has been used in the past many times, even for the COVID Vaccines. The Johnson & Johnson COVID Vaccine, which makes up only 3.2% of vaccinations given in the USA, was paused briefly. The “CDC and FDA issued a pause of the Janssen vaccine April 12–23, 2021, after 6 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a serious condition that involves blood clots in the brain, were identified in VAERS.” Only 6 cases preceded the halt … what are they doing about 27,349 deaths reported (which is SURELY an under reporting, as stated in “Safety monitoring in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)”, “…, reporting rates for specific adverse events that approach the background rates might indicate a safety problem due to the known underreporting of adverse events to VAERS.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4632204/)? There have been more than 6 confirmed cases of COVID Vaccine deaths, just for your information.

The questions I have in my mind only increased while writing this piece. The data looks bad, the optics look bad, and the way some things are taken seriously and others seem to be brushed aside, looks bad as well. Those analyzing the VAERS data officially need to be placed under a microscope because what’s occurring, or not occuring, from the outside looks quite inadequate.
