Proposed Bill RI S2552: Relating To Health And Safety- Immunization Against Covid-19

Dear Senators Jonathon Acosta, Sam Bell, Tiara Mack, and Cynthia Mendes:

On or about March 2022, you proposed Rhode Island legislation that provided, in pertinent part, that “[e]very person of at least sixteen (16) years of age who is eligible for immunization against COVID-19 … to be immunized against COVID-19. … Every resident of Rhode Island eligible for immunization against COVID-19 who is under sixteen (16) years of age or under guardianship shall be required to be immunized against COVID-19. … Any person … [who is not medically exempted] … who violates this chapter shall be required to pay a monthly civil penalty of fifty dollars ($50.00) and shall owe twice the amount of personal income taxes.” 1

Your proposed legislation is based on false premise that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. The evidence is that the COVID-19 vaccines are both unsafe and ineffective. Thankfully, your proposed legislation died in committee. I am writing so that you and others will think twice before proposing such unconstitutional, nay Orwellian, legislation in the future.

COVID-19 Vaccines are Unsafe and Ineffective

German data from the Koch Institute revealed that there were 4,206 cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in Germany between 21 July and 27 October 2021. Of those 4,206 reported cases, 4,020 infected people were fully vaccinated (2,883) or both fully vaccinated and boosted (1,137) (2,883 + 1,137 = 4,020). Only 186 of the reported Omicron COVID-19 cases were unvaccinated. Thus, more than 95% of Germany’s reported Omicron COVID-19 variant infections were people who were fully vaccinated or both fully vaccinated and boosted.

Dr. Günter Kampf, a Professor at the University Medicine Greifswald, Institute for Hygiene and Environmental Medicine, wrote an article published in The Lancet explaining that official German government data shows that COVID-19 is being spread mainly through those who have received a COVID-19 vaccination.

The Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 seem to be cover stories to explain away antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) being suffered by COVID-19 vaccine recipients. There is no other reasonable explanation for the fact that RKI has reported that more than 95% of all the Omicron variant cases in Germany are from those who have received two or more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. 2

Dr. Kampf does not address antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), which is the actual cause of the illnesses among those vaccinated. What is truly happening is that the vaccinated are suffering the symptoms of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). The patients reporting to the hospital with severe illnesses caused by the vaccines are testing positive for COVID-19, thus being labeled as COVID-19 breakthrough cases. In reality, they are suffering from the ADE side effects of the vaccine itself.

When a vaccinated person is diagnosed with COVID-19 it is called a breakthrough case. Even with the efforts of the CDC to under-report COVID-19 breakthrough cases involving vaccinated persons, while at the same time inflating the unvaccinated COVID-19 infection numbers, the data shows a growing trend of vaccinated persons being infected, hospitalized, and dying from COVID-19. While the data shows that the vaccines are ineffective, the federal and state governments are still pushing COVID-19 vaccines as safe and effective.

Writing for the Gateway Pundit, Joe Hoft revealed that the state government statistics from the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) contradict the above statement. 3 The MDH data showed that “[b]etween Sept 22, 2021, and Oct 10, 2021, Maryland had an additional 21,864 Covid-19 cases [of] which 7,233 or 33.1% of the cases were classified as breakthrough cases. … During this same period, Maryland lost 259 citizens to Covid-19. Of those 259 souls, 77 or 29.7% were fully vaccinated.” 4 The MDH has the temerity to claim that it is rare for fully vaccinated people to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19, when its own statistics show that a significant plurality of the population dying from COVID-19 are those who have been vaccinated.

A significant plurality of vaccinated people, who were being diagnosed as having COVID-19 and dying from it is stark proof that the COVID-19 vaccines are ineffective. Assuming those deaths are actually from ADE caused by the COVID-19 vaccines proves that the vaccines are also unsafe. But what is really disturbing is that in the face of such evidence that a significant number of persons vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccines are dying, state health authorities claim that “cases where fully vaccinated people are hospitalized or die from COVID-19 are rare and vaccines remain the best way to prevent COVID-19 and its complications.” 5 That is an unconscionable lie.

Hoft cites a UK Government Health report showing “that between week 37 and week 40 of 2021, there was a total of 2,805 COVID-19 deaths and 2,136 or 76.1% were fully vaccinated. These deaths happened within 28 days of a positive Covid-19 test.” 6 Yet, in the face of that data, the British Government health officials still promote the COVID-19 vaccines as effective in preventing COVID-19, and they claim that the COVID-19 vaccines provide a high level of protection against death from COVID-19. 7 The UK Government dares to recommend the COVID-19 vaccines despite official UK Government statistics that reveal that those who had been vaccinated are dying at more than twice the rate of those who remained unvaccinated. 8

 

The official data from the UK Government shows that those vaccinated with two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have a mortality rate of 1.4%, which is almost twice the mortality rate (0.76%) of those who are unvaccinated. The average death rate for the entire English population, which includes vaccinated and unvaccinated, is 0.94%. Thus, the unvaccinated die at a lower rate than the general population. In contrast, the vaccinated persons die at a greater rate than the general population.

The FDA’s 242-page manual titled Communicating Risks and Benefits: An Evidence-Based User’s Guide explains that the “number needed to treat” (NNT) is one of the three most important statistics for describing the risk and benefits of any drug or vaccine. 9 Toby Rogers, Ph.D., explains that the CDC and the FDA violated their own standards and the fundamental norms of science by not revealing the NNT when reviewing the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) and Biologics License Application from Pfizer-BioNTech when reviewing its COVID-19 vaccine for use in children ages 5 to 11.

Dr. Rogers explains that the pharmaceutical industry hates talking about NNT. They hate talking about NNT even more when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines because the NNT is so high that the COVID-19 vaccines could not pass any honest risk-benefit analysis. 10

The NNT can be reported for any number of variables, such as deaths, ICU admissions, hospitalizations, etc. Taking death as an example, the death NNT for 5 to 11 year-olds from COVID-19 would tell the researchers and the public how many children need to be vaccinated to prevent a single death from COVID-19.

The lower the risk from the disease, the higher the NNT. Children ages 5 to 11 are at extremely low risk of hospitalization, ICU admission, or death from COVID-19. Indeed, there were no hospitalizations, ICU admissions, or deaths in either the vaccine group or the control group in the Pfizer-BioNTech trials involving 5 to 11 year-olds. Dr. Rogers explains:

 

[The NNT] is calculated by dividing 1 by the Absolute Risk Reduction. But there was no risk reduction in hospitalizations, ICU admissions, nor death for 5 to 11 year olds. So if one remembers grade school math, 1/0 is “undefined” since one cannot divide by zero.

 

This means one could vaccinate every child age 5 to 11 in the U.S. and not prevent a single hospitalization, ICU admission, or death from coronavirus — according to Pfizer’s own clinical trial data as submitted to the FDA.

 

It appears Pfizer was not even trying to conduct a responsible clinical trial of its mRNA shot in kids ages 5 to 11. Pfizer submitted an EUA application to the FDA showing no health benefit in children ages 5 to 11 and the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biologics Products Advisory Committee approved it anyway, 17 – 0 with 1 abstention. 11

Dr. Rogers assumed a very generous 80% efficacy in preventing hospitalizations and deaths of 5 to 11-year-olds. He extrapolated that efficacy rate from the FDA claim that Pfizer-BioNTech has an 80% efficacy rate for COVID-associated hospitalizations for ages 20+ years old. The FDA used that 80% figure to estimate the efficacy rate for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds. Using the FDA’s very optimistic benefit of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Dr. Rogers calculated the death NNT for children 5 to 11 years old.

Dr. Rogers used the optimistically reported efficacy of 80% from the FDA and applied that figure to the reported fatalities for COVID-19 for 5 to 11-year-olds and calculated the death NNT for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was 630,775. That means that the vaccine must be given to 630,775 children to save one child.

But that astronomical death NNT does not tell the whole story. We must compare that death NNT to the death risk from the vaccine. Dr. Rogers used the nearest age group vaccine risk data (12 to 15-year-olds) available and applied that data to the 5 to 11-year-olds. This is known as immuno-bridging of data. The VAERS data under-reports adverse events by a factor of 100. But Dr. Rogers multiplied the reported death numbers by a more conservative 41 times. By doing that, he determined that there were 5,248 deaths in the 12-15-year-old age group from the COVID-19 vaccines. Dr. Rogers compared the death rate to the death NNT and concluded:

 

Simply put, the Biden administration plan would kill 5,248 children via Pfizer mRNA shots in order to save 45 children from dying of coronavirus.

 

For every one child saved by the shot, another 117 would be killed by the shot.

 

The Pfizer mRNA shot fails any honest risk-benefit analysis in children ages 5 to 11.

 

***

 

The Biden Administration, the FDA, and the CDC claim they “follow the science” and yet they violate their own standards and scientific norms in order to exaggerate the benefits and hide the harms from vaccines.

 

The FDA refused to calculate an [NNT], not because it forgot, but because agency officials knew the number and corresponding side effects are so high it would destroy the case for mRNA vaccines in children this age. 12 (emphasis added)

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome

The ADE and myocarditis suffered by vaccine recipients is causing them to unexpctedly die in large numbers. The sudden deaths of young people in the prime of health cannot be ignored. Edward Dowd, in his book, “Cause Unknown,” The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022, reveals that in 2006, a systematic review was done of sudden cardiac death by young athletes over a period of 38 years. 13 Experts at the Division of Pediatric Cardiology at the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland, looked at the data on deaths between 1966 and 2004. They found that there were 1,101 total cases of sudden cardiac deaths over that period. That amounts to an average rate of 29 sudden cardiac deaths per year.

Fast forward to 2021 and 2022, and we find that the rate of cardiac deaths among young athletes exceeds 29 deaths per “month.” Indeed, Dowd reveals that not a single month during 2021 and 2022 had fewer than 29 cardiac deaths among young athletes. For example, in December 2021, there were 90 deaths, and about the same number the next month. 14

The prevalence of those deaths is forcing the hand of the media to report on them. But the mass media is trying to conceal the cause of the sudden deaths of thousands of young people by labeling the deaths “sudden adult death syndrome (SADS). It is sometimes also called “sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS). The medical establishment and the media engage in all sorts of conjecture, including blaming the sudden premature deaths on a genetic condition. 15 But they do not ever mention the elephant in the room, the COVID-19 vaccines, as a suspected cause for the deaths. Ethan Huff, writing for Natural News, explains:

 

In an attempt to explain away the rash of deaths occurring in otherwise healthy-seeming adults who got “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), the medical establishment has coined a new term called “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome,” or SADS, that it is pretending appeared out of nowhere with no explanation. 16

 

Much like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), which was also made up out of thin air to explain away infant deaths caused by vaccines, SADS is being called a “mystery” condition that could strike anyone at any time for no apparent reason. 17

It is quite strange that the apparent culprits, the COVID-19 vaccines, are not even mentioned in the major media. They report the sudden premature deaths and essentially leave the readers to guess why young people are keeling over dead in the prime of their lives. Ethan Huff explains the obvious:

 

They will never admit to it, but the sudden rise in SADS directly coincides with the unleashing of Operation Warp Speed, which has turned hundreds of millions of Americans into deadly spike protein factories. These spike proteins are ripping apart their cardiovascular systems and leaving them prone to early death. 18
