COVID time series graphs show clearly the COVID vaccine kill people. That's why they keep the plots hidden from view.

Steve Kirsch's newsletter • 9 implied HN points • 11 Jun 25
🏥 Health Politics Medical Ethics
  1. Time series graphs can show if a vaccine is safe or not by plotting daily deaths after vaccination. A safe vaccine should show a flat line after the initial period.
  2. Current data for COVID vaccines shows increasing mortality rates after vaccination, which suggests they may not be safe. Many reports don’t show this data.
  3. The medical community often ignores clear signs of vaccine risks, despite evidence appearing in graphs and reports, leading to frustration among those who analyze the data.

Retraction of the Danish aluminum study is ethically necessary to restore trust in the medical journals

🏥 Health Politics Medical Ethics
  1. The revised Danish aluminum study has serious flaws, like not being open about the changes made to the data. This kind of manipulation is a big deal in science.
  2. There are concerns that the study downplays real risks by having a short follow-up period and not looking closely enough at health issues like autism and ADHD.
  3. To rebuild trust in medical research, this study should be retracted. It’s important for science to be transparent and free from conflicts of interest.

None of the 70,000 Adverse Events of Puberty Blocking Drugs Were a “Safety Priority” for Biden’s FDA

Who is Robert Malone • 16 implied HN points • 25 Feb 25
🏥 Health Politics Medical Ethics
  1. The FDA has received about 70,000 reports of negative events related to puberty-blocking drugs, but these have not been prioritized for safety concerns. This raises questions about how drug safety is monitored.

  3. Critics like Mel Gibson and Joe Rogan seem to push certain narratives without recognizing the broader problems, like military bioweapons or environmental pollution, which might be the real causes behind public health concerns.

RSV Vaccines for Children: Still Crazy After All These Years

Who is Robert Malone • 20 implied HN points • 14 Dec 24
🏥 Health Politics Medical Ethics
  1. There are risks associated with RSV vaccines for children. Previous attempts to vaccinate for RSV led to severe reactions, including death, in some cases.
  2. Infants and young children, especially those who are premature, are at high risk for severe RSV disease. Most children get natural immunity by age two, making widespread vaccination less urgent.
  3. Current RSV vaccines do not prevent the infection or transmission of the virus. Instead, they aim to reduce severe illness, but for healthy children, the risks may outweigh the benefits.

My MAHA "to do" list (unburdened by what has been)

Steve Kirsch's newsletter • 20 implied HN points • 06 Nov 24
🏥 Health Politics Medical Ethics
  1. There should be better safety monitoring of all drugs, especially vaccines, to ensure public health is protected. It's also important for the data to be transparent and publicly available.

  3. We need more open discussions about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, including allowing debates between experts with differing views. This can help the public make more informed choices.

My $1M challenge to ANYONE: Can you show the COVID vaccine is safe using the Japan record level data?

Steve Kirsch's newsletter • 6 implied HN points • 25 Jun 25
🏥 Health Politics Medical Ethics
  1. There's a challenge offering a $1 million prize for anyone who can prove that the COVID vaccine is safe using data from Japan. The data suggests that the vaccine may be more harmful than helpful.
  2. The person offering the challenge believes that many people, including epidemiologists, are not willing to take it, possibly because the data looks bad for the vaccines.
  3. The argument is that with high vaccination rates in Japan, if the vaccines were beneficial, the evidence of that should be clear, but instead, the mortality rates seem to indicate a net harm.

My rebuttal on the claims that vaccines have saved >> killed

Steve Kirsch's newsletter • 9 implied HN points • 28 Dec 24
🏥 Health Politics Medical Ethics
  1. The evidence presented by those claiming vaccines saved lives often doesn’t actually support their claims. Many studies suggest that vaccinations didn't significantly reduce death rates.
