Government guidance and healthcare, critical thinking

0:00Welcome to Informed Descent, the intersection of faith, family, freedom, and health. By America's real doctor, Dr. Jeff Parkey, board certified primary care physician on the America Out Loud Network. Welcome to another episode of Informed Descent. I'm Dr. Jeff Parkey, America's real doctor. The theme is always faith, family, freedom, and health. There's so much to talk about and so little time. No guests today, just me. Thank you for joining. As always, please, please, please reach out to me, Instagram, PM, PME on Instagram or on Facebook or through the Informed Descent podcast. And let me know what you want to talk about. Let me know if you want special guests.

1:00I did get some comments about wanting to bring on a specialist that deals with a female hormone management, looking at doing that. I've been following and maybe you are too on social media, all the folks that are at Burning Man. No, I've never been. I have very mixed feelings about it. It reminds me of kind of club hedonism. It's satanic in many ways. They have a camp there called the Orgy Camp or Orgy Tent. And it's exactly what you would envision it to be. And then mixed in there, there are some Christians there. There are some camps there. There are Christian themed and some pastors that go there to try to spread the word. I saw that there was a Christian group that was kicked out and there's mixed reviews or mixed information about why they were kicked out and so forth.

2:01Actually, reached out to one of the Christian pastors that was kicked out to see if you would come on and tell us a little bit about it. I have friends that go and that want to go. It's a curiosity, but I just don't think it's healthy to associate with people that are walking down a different path than you are on. Unless you are just rock solid in your belief systems and your goal is to try to influence them to go down a different path. That's sort of my feeling. Not to mention the six to eight hour lineup of cars waiting to get in, 70,000 people. There seems to be also a bit of some danger. I think last year, maybe this year, somebody died. There's talk and discussions about people being roofied, given drugs in whatever they're eating without their permission and so forth. So I know there's folks, burners that have gone multiple years and swear by it.

3:04It's like a spiritual experience. I'm just, I'm not clear. Let me know your thoughts. And I hopefully I'll be able to interview those pastors that are there. If I were to go, I'd want to go and associate myself with some sort of Christian group that is going there to help present a different message than this radical inclusionism from trans genderism to drug use to sexual indiscretions and so forth. Anyways, just some rando thoughts about Burning Man. Okay, here's a few things I want to talk to you about. The Orange County Register, I get, I love paper, like paper papers, like actual physical paper as opposed to reading news and journals online. So I get actually three newspapers delivered to my place. No, I don't always read them all, but I love looking at the headlines.

4:05When I have more time, I will read through them. I get the Orange County Register because obviously I'm in Orange County. They have a decent sports section. So of course, like any guy, the first thing I do is look at the sports section and thumb through and see if there's any interesting articles. And then I go to the front page and read through that. Anyways, I did that this morning and just for your reference, this morning is, this is being recorded on September 3rd. You'll probably hear this. The podcast will be released on Monday, a few days later, which is what's the Monday? Oh, Labor Day, the 7th. Okay, so September 3rd, just inside the front page, large half page article. And here is the headlines. Top doctors, whoever that is, offer updated flu and COVID vaccine recommendations. Let's talk a little bit more about that. I want to share some thoughts when they say top doctors.

5:09You know, what does that mean? And who is it that's being represented here? And where does this article come from? So let's dive into this article a little bit. By the way, this is from the associated press, like to call them associated, depressed. And here's what it says they open with leading US medical groups are urging people urging to get updated flu and COVID-19 vaccinations this fall. Banding together Wednesday to issue shot guidelines. So who are these groups that are quote unquote, banding together? Well here's who they are. The American Academy of Pediatrics, we've talked about them a lot as it related to vitamin K and their recommendation. The American Academy of Family Physicians, I used to be a member, I am no longer. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, what's known in the industry

6:15as ACOG and the Infectious Disease Society of America. So they're talking about pushing COVID boosters. I've talked extensively about COVID and COVID shots in particular. And that the COVID shots with one exception, but the majority of the COVID shots made by Moderna and made by Pfizer are messenger RNA shots. And just as a reminder, I apologize if I'm being redundant, but just as a reminder, messenger RNA is a type of instruction manual that's produced by the nucleus of our cells, human cells. This purpose is to tell the protein manufacturing machinery of our cells and the protein manufacturing machinery is the ribosomes contained on the endoplasmic reticulum.

7:19It's really not important. And I had to look this up a while back because I couldn't remember sixth grade science. Anyways. So the messenger RNA tells the ribosomes what protein to produce. And obviously our bodies produce millions and millions of different types of proteins. Proteins are sequences of amino acids. By the way, we'll go down a little rabbit hole here. If an amino acid sequence is greater than 20, if there are more than, I think there's different definitions, but more than about 20 amino acids in a sequence, we call that a protein. If it's less, we call it a peptide. Talking about peptides, we'll talk more about that maybe on another podcast. Anyways. So messenger RNA instructs the ribosomes to produce a protein.

8:22What's different here with messenger RNA vaccine technology is unlike a traditional vaccine, where you take a tiny little piece of a virus or a bacteria, where you take the whole virus, but you treat it such that it's, it can't replicate. And you inject that into the body. So the body sees that virus or protein and then makes an immune response to that. With messenger RNA technology, we're not injecting the virus or bacteria into your body or some attenuated version of it. We're injecting the instruction manual for your own protein, manufacturing machinery to make something a protein that your body then will react to. So as it relates to COVID, the instruction manual tells the body to make the spike protein. We've all seen the schematics of it with the little ball, you know, the little round circle

9:27and the little spiky balls that come off the round circle. Anyways, so the messenger RNA technology from the COVID vaccine and now most recently, the flu vaccine, instructs our body to produce a non-human protein. There's the rub, a non-human protein we're asking our body to produce. This is very different than when our body is exposed to the entire virus or bacteria when we get sick, if we get chickenpox or measles. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of immune recognized areas of a virus or bacteria that our body will react to. The spike protein is simply one aspect of the COVID virus. So we're asking our body to produce a non-human protein. I talked about this before. I won't go into detail again, but it sort of reminds me of that movie by Jeff Goldblum,

10:27the remake of the movie The Fly, where he creates a star trek transporter, where he can transport himself from point A to point B across a room or further. And he's experimenting with it. He hops into this box and a fly gets in there with him and his DNA and the fly's DNA gets mixed up. So over time, he slowly turns into this fly. Now we're not turning into a spike protein or a virus or a COVID virus, but what we are doing is forcing our body, the machinery, the genetic machinery of our body to produce this non-human protein. Is it possible for this messenger RNA to get incorporated into the DNA of ourselves? Well on paper, yes, in some experiments, yes, there's a chemical or an enzyme called reverse transcriptase that can take messenger RNA and incorporate it back into the DNA. So practically speaking, I don't know that this is actually happening, but this is the

11:30worry of some scientists that it potentially could happen. So when you look at, for example, section 13.1 of a package insert, where it says, we don't know if this vaccine can cause cancer, carcinogenesis, or mutogenesis, meaning can we mutate or change the DNA of a cell or interfere with reproductive health? Retrogenesis, that's what we're referring to. And so I'm not saying this happens. I'm saying it potentially could happen. And there's some studies and experiments going on to try to figure that out. But what I am saying is this is brand new technology messenger RNA vaccine technology that started the first messenger RNA vaccine was the COVID vaccine. I believe, and I know there are people that disagree, that's okay. I believe in many of my colleagues in the health freedom movement, I believe, and I don't

12:33just mean about social media influencers, but I mean actual physicians and scientists that think that we ought not to bring messenger RNA vaccine technology forward, that it hasn't been proven safe, it hasn't been tested over any long period of time, and I tend to agree with that. So we've got the COVID vaccine and there are two new versions now that are out by Moderna and by Pfizer. And you are going to see as we enter into football season, and you start watching football on Sundays and Mondays and Thursdays, college football and Saturdays, you're going to see advertising to get your flu shot, COVID shot, and RSV respiratory sensational virus shot. This is coming, and I think this article in the Orange County Register is sort of like this is associated press, so it's not unique to the Orange County Register.

13:34It's probably in the New York Times and papers all over the country. This is written by a journalist, I guess, Lauren NearGuard, N-E-E-R-G-A-R-D, too many consonants. Anyways, and so they immediately come out, they disparage the Trump administration and all the healthcare agencies. So here's what they say. Saying they hope to ease confusion caused by the Donald Trump administration's changing advice. Meaning the, so reminder, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is in charge of HHS Health and Human Services. This is one of the largest government agencies around. There's literally hundreds of thousands of employees.

14:35There are hundreds of thousands of employees, HHS alone, I think, has, I tried to look this up, 60 to 80,000 employees just at HHS. And this doesn't count the divisions that it oversees. The FDA, of course, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, Administration for Children and Families, Smaller Organization, Administration for Community Living, Agency for Healthcare Research Quality, Agency for Toxic and Disease Registry, Indian Health Services. I forgot about that, that they oversee that as well. And there's more. So you can imagine you have one appointed member who oversees it all, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

15:36And then he gets to choose the heads of each of these agencies. But these hundreds of thousands of employees are career bureaucrats. They are workers in the federal government. And they all have unions, they all have contracts. It's almost impossible to fire these people. And I would guess, I wonder if we could do a poll or Bobby Kennedy could do a poll. How many in these organizations, with hundreds of thousands of employees, agree with support or think highly, positively about Bobby Kennedy? I would imagine it's a tiny number. And they know they being the employees know that if they can just hang in there, muck things up a bit, not enthusiastically support and implement Kennedy's initiatives, that there'll

16:37be a new administration in four years. So first of all, it takes almost, it took almost a year for Bobby Kennedy to get Senate approved. Now he's got about three years to do some work and appoint people and this, that, and the other, and this happens all the time. This is why that, you know, the government is really run by the administrative state. Some people that think there should be term limits for administrative government workers. I know I've, I said much, much lower level. I saw this, of course, way much lower level. I was an elected school board member for 12 years. The low-cellum-medos unified school district. And you had five board members. Our job was to oversee the superintendent, set the vision, financial goals, budget, and so forth. But then the superintendent and her staff and all the workers at the school then would implement

17:38these things. And what I saw personally is that regardless of the board's perspective, many of the teachers, not all, but many, I don't know what number, 75, 80 percent may be higher, were not like-minded to me. And I had a conservative board at least for most of the time that I was there. They were not like-minded. Some of them, quite frankly, did not like me at all. And so they can do whatever they want behind closed doors and it's very hard to monitor. It's almost impossible to fire a teacher, almost impossible. Many times when we had underperforming teachers or teachers that were doing stupid stuff, and we wanted to get rid of them rather than go through the arduous and very expensive process of trying to fire them, takes about three years, $250,000. We would make a deal with them that if they would resign, they would get benefits for

18:40the next year, sometimes longer. We would agree that we wouldn't write a negative review or a letter of recommendation, whatever letter of recommendation that they would want if they got a new job would be neutral. This is the way we had to do it. So now multiply that by, I don't remember how many employees there were at Los Alamedos Unified, maybe a couple thousand. I actually don't remember, but imagine now an organization, a bureaucratic organization with hundreds of thousands of employees, and you only have a handful of people at the top that are trying to run this. And the hundreds of thousands of employees mostly don't agree with you and despise you. How are you going to get anything done? Many people have asked me, how is it possible that the FDA, I think it's Mikaire, Marty Carey, I think is the head of the FDA, but nonetheless, how is it possible that the

19:43FDA would approve a new messenger RNA, COVID vaccine, or a flu shot? Well, in part, it's because many of the scientists that work for the FDA and the various folks that ultimately bring this to market are so distant from the leadership at the top that things happen. And there's not a whole lot that Bobby Kennedy or some of the other leaders can do. Okay, so back to this article about trying to overturn or trying to have clarity on Donald Trump's administration changing advice. It goes on to say flu vaccinations are beginning and COVID-19 shots are starting to arrive after the Food and Drug Administration approved this year's updated version. Winter also brings another vaccine preventable risk called RSV, Respectories and Situcial Virus. Exactly. Who should get one or all of these vaccines and what?

20:46Well, that's a good question. And you're going to hear propaganda now, advertisements on TV in newspapers during sporting events and so forth. We'll see advertising in pharmacies if you go to pick up, I don't know your blood pressure medicine, you're going to see advertisements to say triple threat, get updated today and it's free. COVID, flu and RSV. We're going to see this again. So we'll have to do we, meaning me and other physicians that have differences of opinion. We'll need to start doing our thing and saying, listen, inform consent. This is what you should know. The flu shot or the COVID shot or the RSV shot. The American Academy of Pediatrics goes on to say in this article, actually it's this lady Sandra Freihoffer of the American Medical Association. I'm not a member of that. Used to be early in my career. I want to say last numbers, I looked at only about 15% of physicians are members of the

21:52American Medical Association, although they claim to speak on behalf of all doctors. There's been a lot of confusion in chaos regarding vaccine recommendations. Said Dr. Sandra Freihoffer of the American Medical Association. All the groups, recommendations plus evidence and shot safety and effectiveness are being posted on websites. So the quote, public has a clear, consistent science-based guidance even when the federal process is in flux. Close quote. Freihoffer said, she goes on to say just about everybody, everybody starting at age six months, just about everybody starting at six months needs flu vaccinations. The medical societies agree. This is the journalist. This is not in quotes. So she is assuming and making a leap that every medical society, at least listed here,

22:58American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, ACOG, College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Infectious Disease Society of America agree that starting at six months, almost everybody kids need a flu shot. What do you think? What do you think? Well, I can tell you what I think. I think it's a bunch of crap to make this blanket statement. Always, always, any desire or issue as it relates to vaccinations should be individualized, especially with kids, based on the health history of the child, based on the desires of the parents. The parents should always make that decision. Never, ever, ever should a parent or a child be forced to get a vaccination in order to fill in the blank.

23:59Get a job. Go to school. Join the military. Go to a university. There should be no mandatory vaccines ever. If these vaccines are good and they're safe, then make the case and let individuals decide. That's my stance, always, and I hope the federal government passes laws to make that the law of the land. That is, under no circumstances, can anybody be mandated to get a vaccination? That's my belief. Then the second part of that for the federal government, if you're listening, is to remove the liability protection from the pharmaceutical industry. We're going to take a quick break. I'm going to talk a little bit more about these vaccines and this article and talk about what I think the approach should be during so-called flu season as we enter the fall

25:04and then into the winter months. Be right back. Oral hygiene hasn't changed in 50 years. Brush, floss, repeat. We're told to use fluoride, which doesn't really address the acid creating bacteria. That is where the dentist recommended Sprite Dental Defense System shines.

The intersection of faith, family, freedom and health with America's real doctor, Dr. Jeff

30:13Barkey. By the way, and I've gotten some criticism on social media that I'm arrogant for calling myself America's real doctor. So I've talked about this before and I'll just be very brief. I don't mean to imply that somehow I'm different or better than others in calling myself a real America's real doctor. What I mean by that is I believe I represent what physicians used to be in the past. Physicians of generation ago used to be a highly respected field that's no longer the case. They used to be a prominent member of the community that people would go to for advice and counsel, often not just on medical things, by the way. And physicians had a oath that they took. Yeah, the Hippocratic oath for a student harm thing, of course, but also an oath to represent

31:15the patient as a coach would represent a athlete and to provide a level of informed consent for anything that we were recommending. I use this example and I think it's a good one because it's easy for most people to wrap their head around. If you came in to see me and you had a little mole on your arm and it looked funny and you wanted me to look at it and make some recommendations. And I might recommend that we take a biopsy or remove it with a scalpel under anesthesia send it to a pathologist to look at under a microscope to make sure it's not cancer. I would have an obligation to give you informed consent. I would say listen, we have some options here. One option is not to treat and we can keep a close eye on it. Maybe you come in regularly every few months. Maybe we measure it and take a picture of it. And then we take another picture so we can compare it to see if it's changing.

32:15That is absolutely an always an option, especially if it doesn't look to horrendous or cancer like and there are some indicators of cancer when you look at a mole. At the end of the day you just don't know until somebody looks at it under a microscope. But there are some indications. The borders are jagged. The color is dark or changing. The size of the mole is quite large and so forth. So I would tell you that. We can remove it and if it's my recommendation to do so I'll say listen if it were my loved one or on my arm I would want this to remove because it doesn't look good. And I think there's a better than likely chance that this could be skin cancer. And then I would be obligated to tell them about the procedure. I'm going to numb it up. It's going to hurt a little bit. And I'm going to do a shave biopsy or whatever kind of biopsy I'm going to do. And as a result of doing that, the skin heals by scarring so you're going to have a small scar there.

33:16Might be a little bit bigger than the diameter of the mole or skin lesion that we're removing. There's always a chance for a little bit of bleeding. And although it's rare, it's possible that as a result of me cutting your skin it could get infected. Those are some of the basics that I would tell a patient and then I would say I think it's a good idea to do this. Are you okay with this? And they'd say, yeah, Doc, I get it. Let's go ahead and proceed. This should be the standard for any medical decision that we make, whether it's a vaccination, a medical procedure. If you've ever had surgery, there's like pages and pages of documents that you have to sign and the surgeon is supposed to give you informed consent. One of the risks, one of the benefits, one of the alternatives, etc. So that is the hallmark of informed consent. So when they say just about everybody starting at age six months needs a flu vaccine, this should only be done individualized with parents consent after informed consent.

34:21Part of my informed consent as it relates to vaccines is to review the package answer. Of course, you can't read the whole thing, but you can highlight it for a parent and you can point out areas that you think are important that you want the parent to know. And that's what I do pretty routinely. The article then goes and says, the last two flu seasons were especially harsh and unusually high numbers of child deaths. I don't know if that's true or not, but let's remember that the last year's flu season, the flu shot was almost useless. It did not prevent people from getting the flu. The flu strains in the flu shot were missed, meaning we're chosen incorrectly. What happens every year is the CDC in the World Health Organization has monitoring locations around the world to detect what type of flu is going around influenza.

35:23Influenza is a respiratory illness. I'm not talking about what we call stomach flu. That's not influenza. And then they make a best guess. We think there's going to be these three strains this year that are going to be circulating and causing problems. So we're going to manufacture the flu shot for these strains. Typically, they're grown in chick embryos, in egg products. It's a great medium to grow things with all the proteins and so forth in chick embryos. And messenger RNA technology allows it to be done differently, you don't have to grow anything anywhere. You simply just take the flu strains that you want. You look at the proteins in the flu strain. You take your messenger RNA and you encode the messenger RNA with whatever flu strains that you want to put in there. And then you put them into the flu vaccine. So it's a much quicker process. Theoretically, it would make the manufacturing of a flu vaccine quicker, more cost effective

36:31and more nimble. Meaning, you could change things up if you realized that whatever flu was circulating was not the one that's in your vaccine. So going on, the last two flu seasons were especially harsh with unusually high numbers of childhood deaths. Also they want to scare you. Be aware we killed a bunch of people, flu killed a bunch of people last year. So step up and make sure all the way down to six months of age you should get vaccinated. And by the way, they're also recommending vaccinations even during pregnancy. And then of course they go on and they slide this in here in the article. Flu season was especially harsh. And then here's the, here's the, what's the word? Here's the money shot, if you will, with unusually high numbers of child deaths, the vast majority of which were in unvaccinated kids.

37:33There you have it. So do I recommend six months old, six month olds get flu shots? No. What about adults? In general, again, informed consent. I'm not sure that flu shots are particularly effective. I never get a flu shot. Is there a small subtype of patients that are particularly ill and susceptible to death if they were to get the flu that should get a flu shot? Perhaps. But here's my approach. And of course, nowhere in this article does it talk about this. Nowhere, the article should lead with this. Winter is coming. Winter is coming. What's that movie? Netflix, Game of Thrones. Winter is coming and be prepared. Prepare yourself in the following way. This is what the CDC FDA, American Academy of Pediatrics, American family practice, and

38:35all the health care organizations should be saying. Winter is coming. Winter yourself this way. Take really good care of yourself now. If you haven't been doing this, simplify and clean up your diet. Avoid processed foods. Avoid excess simple carbs and sugar. Get rid of the diet sodas. Stop eating junk food. Eat really clean. Make sure you're getting movement every single day. Get out and exercise. You're not to go to the gym, do. Just go out and walk every single day. Get 10,000 to 15,000 steps a day. Get off your butt from sitting behind your computer screen, which I'm doing right now, by the way. And get outside. Get daily sunshine. You can't achieve optimal health without sunshine. Don't get burnt, of course, but get sunshine. Drink purified or filtered water. At least 64 ounces a day. I prefer 100 ounces.

39:36They are really well hydrated. That supports your immune system. Make sure your vitamin D level is somewhere between 50 and 70, ideally through sunshine if needed through supplementation. Have your inflammatory markers checked by your primary care doctor and address those if they're elevated. Address them. Dress those by lifestyle modification. And then there are some supplements like fish oil that potentially could help. You stress. Stress is one of the leading killers in the country in the world. There are ways to do that. We've talked about that on my social media and on podcasts. Learn how to meditate. Improve your sleep hygiene. Try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Get right with your creator. Seriously, it's a thing. Get peace in your life by getting right with your creator. Learn how to pray. Move toxic substances and people from your life.

40:38No aluminum under your arms. No toxic chemicals that you put on your body. Mineral based sunscreen if you need it, was zinc. No fluoride in your mouth. Fluoride is a neurotoxin and minimally helps your teeth anyways. Stop using chemical detergents on your clothes. Get something healthier. So detoxify your life as best you can as far as on the inside and on the outside. So these are some of the ways that I would approach preparing for flu season. Winter is coming. Let's get healthy if you're not already there. If you've been following me, if you've been in my practice, if you're one of my subscribers on social media, telegram, Instagram, then you've heard me say this over and over again. And by the way, I'm not perfect, but I try to live my life the way I preach.

41:39I eat pretty clean. I minimize my toxic exposure. I'm careful about EMF overwhelming EMF exposure, electromagnetic fields. I try to use products that are clean. I try to minimize any sugar intake alcohol as well. Alcohol is toxic. Yeah, I know I enjoy a beer on a Sunday watching a football game or an occasional cocktail, but I try to make that a rare thing, not a regular thing. But these are some of the things that the articles and these various academies should be putting forward, not making the blanket recommendation, quote, just about everybody starting at age six months needs a flu vaccination. And then the article goes on and says, three enhanced flu vaccines are designed to better protect seniors. There's a new flu vaccine that's indicated. I think it's 50 and up. And that is the messenger, the brand new messenger RNA flu vaccination. There's a new choice this year for people 50 and over.

42:42The first ever flu vaccine made with the same M RNA that's messenger RNA technology that was key to ending what key to ending the COVID-19 pandemic. I take a sip of coffee and read that again, only organic coffee, by the way, whenever possible. Your favorite coffee shop may not be serving organic coffee and bring a reusable mug. Don't put it in plastic line paper mugs. You get micro plastics. So they say the same messenger RNA technology that was key to ending the COVID-19 pandemic. Right. So if not for the COVID-19 shots that Anthony Fauci later told us not only did not prevent people from getting infected, but did not prevent people from spreading the illness, caused autoimmune dysfunction, caused some young people to drop dead while playing sports, caused

43:45inflammation of the heart, and caused all kinds of problems. And now we're seeing the fallout from that with turbo cancers and other problems from the spike protein, but never mind. So now we have the technology in flu shots that we can again cause damage with in people. So getting a messenger RNA flu shot is almost like getting another COVID booster. Okay. So here we go. The shot a verse could also choose an nasal spray, flumist, if they're ages 2 to 49 and meet other criteria. So there's a no spray now too that you can use from a flu shot standpoint. The article goes on and says, the American Academy of Pediatric recommends a COVID shot for all children ages six months to 23 months of age. By the way, right there that to me, I know there's differing opinion.

44:46I'm okay with people differing. What I'm not okay is people calling me names without refuting any of the facts. And by the way, there I don't know if it's my algorithms on social media or if this is just now more of a thing. I am seeing doctors and scientists all over social media will they'll play a little clip of somebody like me making a statement and then they'll come on and tell me all the reasons why I'm a crazy person and my license should be taken away by the medical board. I'm seeing that more and more now on social media doctors refuting this opinion, my opinions. And by the way, sometimes I'll comment on their posts. They often just block me. I've even messaged many of these people to come on my podcast or do an Instagram live with me and we will have a polite discussion about areas that we disagree. Not a single one of them has done that.

45:46Not a single one of them has responded to my request to come on and have a polite civil discussion about where we disagree, especially as it relates to vaccines and the pharmaceutical industry in general. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a COVID-19 shot for all children ages six months to 23 months of age and for older kids with high risk conditions. It also supports vaccination for any child whose parents wishes it. So anybody, if your parent wants it, stick your arm out. With millions of shots administered, there's no, oh, this, I love this. With millions of shots administered, millions of shots, meaning the COVID-19 shot, messenger RNA, there's no evidence that corona virus vaccination during pregnancy increases the risk

46:48of miscarriage or other problems. So please get the vaccine. Says, egg cogs, doctor, Christina Davidson, egg cogs, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Remember there were recently when Anthony Fauci went before Congress, I think it was a Senate and invoked his Fifth Amendment right like 110 times and then shortly after that, some of his text messages were released, you know, his two government phones that he had were have been looked at hundreds of thousands of messages and some of those messages were Dr. Anthony Fauci himself admitting the increased miscarriage rate of folks that got the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy and he was concerned that if this information got out, it would make people not want to get the COVID-19 shot. You think? And by the way, there are vaccinations where they say during pregnancy, only get it in the last

47:55trimester like 32, 36 to 40 weeks because we know there's an increased risk of preterm births and so forth. So only give it late because if it causes preterm birth, at least you're already in your third trimester. That's kind of what they do. Depending on age, people can choose a shot from Moderna, Pfizer, or the only non-messenger RNA version of the COVID-19 shot from Nova, NovaVax and Santa Fe. Just like with flu vaccines, these shots are better at preventing severe disease than preventing mild disease. Translation. Just because you get the shot, it's not going to prevent you from getting the illness. And if you do get the illness and let's say it's milder, what tends to happen is people get a flu shot, a COVID shot, or whatever shot, then if they come down with the illness, they think to themselves, well, it's not COVID because I got the flu shot, I got the COVID shot. And so they're out and about in public thinking they just have a mild cold, not COVID, and they are

49:00able to spread COVID or flu with equal efficacy as somebody that is unvaccinated. And so what we realized during COVID when the COVID vaccine came out is that the people that were spreading COVID mostly, most likely, most fervently, were those that were vaccinated. Why? Because when you got vaccinated and you got sick, you didn't think it was COVID so you were out and about. If you're unvaccinated and you got sick and you're a responsible person, you stay home. It's like people on airplanes. If you're sick, stay off the damn airplane, recirculated air, and you think putting a mask on on an airplane is going to protect you or others. Heck no. Masks are terrible protectors of a respiratory viral illness. It doesn't protect you, the mask wearer, and it doesn't protect people around you if you should sneeze, etc. And as a matter of fact, I think it's very unhealthy to wear a mask for any extended amount of time.

50:02Wear a mask when you're out cutting your grass for sure. Wear a mask if you're doing work and you don't want wood chips or other things to get into your respiratory system, of course. Wear a mask if you're a surgeon while you're operating so you don't get spittle into the open wound on an operating table. And so splashes from the wound don't get into your mouth absolutely, but not for the protection of a respiratory viral illness. So there you have it. Just like the flu vaccine, these shots are better at preventing severe disease than mild cases and never mind the side effects and the potential complications of getting these vaccines anyways. So there are two new flu vaccines, sorry, COVID vaccines that are on the market. And the way they made it to the market was not in a randomized control trial, RCT, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's the gold standard, by the way, for vaccinations or pharmaceutical products. Why don't vaccinations undergo rigorous randomized control trials? Well, there is a reason,

51:07there's a different level of scrutiny that's required on these biological agents, then a pharmaceutical drug, then a pill that somebody brings forward. And typically what's required is not to compare a vaccine in a placebo control trial, meaning you give a thousand patients the vaccine and you give a matched group matched, meaning approximately same age, same health conditions, male female, etc. So what you would do is sort of like a lottery. Let's say you're going to have a thousand people in the control group and a thousand people in the placebo group. You take two thousand people and then you would randomize them to the control or the placebo group, give half of the group the injection and the other half of the group some inert injection like saline. And the patients don't know whether they're in the control group or the

52:07um so what what happens is um unfortunately the you know what's supposed to happen in a randomized control trial is neither the patient or the physician, the administrator of the vaccine knows who's getting a control or who's getting the actual or who's getting the placebo. The control is a placebo, who's getting the treatment and who's getting the placebo. That part of the trial is what makes it blinded, randomized, double-blinded, what does double-blinded mean? Means the patient and the injector don't know what they're giving. Um and then randomized, um you've got two thousand people, you put them in a lottery system, they spit out the names, half are in the control group placebo, half of them are in the treatment group, that's what a randomized control trial means. So vaccines

53:09aren't aren't done that and if you look back, not my opinion, none of the childhood vaccines that are currently on the market, I think that's not true actually, I think there's one, it's like the polio vaccine but not the current version that we use, uh underwent a double-blinded randomized control trial. So what happens instead is they will take a vaccine, new, new vaccine, like the flu vaccine and they don't compare it in a randomized control double-blinded trial instead, they compare it to an older version of the same product, half people get the new, half the people get the old and the FDA allows this, I'm not sure they should allow it. In this case, this is an article by Nicholas Hulcher, H-U-L-S-C-H-E-R, MPH, he works for the McCullough Foundation, a brilliant researcher. This out-new Pfizer and Moderna messenger RNA vaccines is called XFG, COVID shots are based on

54:16data from mice. So even rather than the COVID vaccine, that is what I'm talking about now, rather than even giving half the people the old COVID shot and half the people, the new COVID shot, they don't do that. They inject an animal and in this case a mouse and as long as the mouse is able to mount antibodies against whatever the component spike protein component is, then they go, yep, looks good, it's creating an antibody response so we're going to promote it. And that's what's happened here in this new COVID vaccine and it's not unique. This happens with many new versions of vaccines. They might allow just an antibody response in a patient or an animal and they go, looks good, we're good to go and we move forward and then they approve these things. And it's important to remember also, and I've said this multiple times, that the companies that are manufacturing these,

55:21in this case it's Moderna and it's Pfizer for the new messenger RNA COVID vaccine, they are immune from liability, meaning if you're injured by these badly, there is no recourse against the manufacturer. The only recourse you have is to take your case to vaccine court. It's not even a real court. You're assigned a master, administrative master, who reviews this, this is all done in private and they may award you a monetary compensation and then have you sign, you only get the monetary compensation, if you sign a non-disclosure form, you're not allowed to tell anybody that you even went to vaccine court and you're certainly not allowed to tell anybody that you received a compensation. This vaccine court was created in the mid-1980s as a result of the law that gave immunity to vaccine companies and this vaccine court

56:23has paid out since it was created billions and billions of dollars. I hope this is helpful, your comments are always appreciated and please share this with friends and family or anybody that you think could benefit from hearing this recording. We'll see you next time on informed descent the intersection of faith, family, freedom and health. Peace out.
