foreign foreign welcome to Utah's safe and effective we're going to look into whether this vaccine is really safe and effective and the controversy around it we'll be talking to people who have been injured by this vaccine including doctors and nurses and what they've witnessed in their field we'll be talking about Utah law and What legislation has been passed to protect your rights we'll provide you with credible peer-reviewed studies so you can do the research on your own and use critical thinking to decide for yourself if this vaccine is really safe and effective foreign Scott Bell I'm a homeopathic practitioner for almost 30 years and been in broadcast media for 23 years where I've interviewed over 1 500 doctors scientists and lay people about their health Journeys we're here to bring awareness that some people who have received covet injections have had Adverse Events from mild to very severe and we're going to document the stories of those that we've met along the way what was common about their experience and maybe what they'd like to see happen from this point forward thank you well there are many stories that are happening in silence behind the scenes that may never make the light of day when we talk about these Adverse Events and then there are those who are in The public's eye and have an experience like this and they're willing to continue to share in the public their Journey we have someone like that right now Adrian a recent Miss Utah 2021 our 2021 Miss Utah for America strong is Miss Provo Adrian Edwards a pageant contestant someone you've been public speaker for how long we're 25 years professionally is this something you volunteered to do is it something required for pageant participation or please give us some of the back story sure well I happen to work in the healthcare industry as a liaison between hospitals and skilled nursing facilities so my daily full-time employment happens to be helping to find a inappropriate Skilled Nursing Facility that can provide the Aftercare for a certain patients patients at the hospitals that just need ongoing care I was mandated I did not want to get it but I was told that I I had to get it in order to keep working it was this is the Mandate everybody needs to get get the the covet vaccine and I felt like I didn't have a choice and also I wanted to keep the seniors safe I thought that would be the right thing to do but I knew my body I have a very sensitive system and I tend to get the flu after every flu shot every year I tend to catch pneumonia after the Pneumonia shots and I take these shots on a regular basis to keep the seniors especially safe who are within my work environment so I felt that responsibility and I wanted to do what we were told to do but I also knew my body and I knew that I would more than likely have an adverse reaction uh today right now we're joined by our friend Nicholas and Nicholas you work in a lab setting or you worked in a lab setting related to covid tests associated with the PCR that's correct I worked during the peak of covid in the specimen processing Department were you required to take a covid test to be working there or a covid injection or vaccination to work there I was required to take the vaccines to continue working my job in the lab setting okay we have more stories from the Healthcare Community a home health care nurse an RN let's welcome Melissa how long have you been doing home health nursing so I've worked for my current company for 10 years this month and I worked for a different home health company for about a year before that so 11 years so in that time you probably observe patterns of illnesses and elements and you see many things sometimes repeatedly yeah to give you an idea of what might be normally expected what might be unusual oh absolutely I've been a home health nurse all the way through you know the coveted pandemic I saw the effects of of the lockdown on these elderly people who were lonely and couldn't get out I myself took care of a number of covet positive patients this is before the vaccine had come out but I mean being a nurse that's my job I take care of people who who are ill so I never hesitated to go in and care for these people in our journey to discover the people who have received these jobs or vaccinations and suffered untoward events since that time there have been many people that want to come forward but some have been very concerned about their identity being revealed because of repercussions or retaliation in this case we have a medical technician at a surgical center where you one that said you know what I'm ready to volunteer I will do anything to help because they told me it would stop this thing if I would just get the shot I was very eager across started IVs eight to ten times per day and I was around lots of older people and as promised they said that if we got the vaccine it would not we wouldn't spread or it would preserve our health and because I had underlining autoimmune conditions I was concerned for my health and my co-workers and so I was one of the first ones in my organization to get the vaccine we're joined Now by a board-certified cardiologist to learn a little bit about his experience doctor welcome and appreciate your willingness to speak out on a very important topic at a time where we need to learn a lot really quickly thank you all right what point was there some concern that you may be seeing some things unusual in your practice as a cardiologist after people got these Jabs seemed fairly early on but I was also kind of followed the story from the very beginning and I had concerns about the original studies and not having enough safety studies behind it or some of the outcomes from the initial trials we have Margo with us now worked in Emergency Medical Services in the support of those like ambulances but not having direct contact in an ambulance and at the time in covid when the emergency use authorization shots came out they weren't requiring it for you were they that's correct then you volunteered to get it you thought you know everybody within the agency they had a plan for those that wanted to get it to go get it and I was a little hesitant at first because it was so new and then I thought you know I just want this pandemic over let's just do this let's go for it my name is Irene Ricks and I am a ER nurse I've been there for close to five years and I was there at the very beginning of covet still working there things changed a lot once the experimental use authorization so-called vaccines came to to be and you had been working as all the doctors and nurses without a perceived protection from a shot correct so that changed suddenly they had this shot and they how did they sell it to you the reason why I got this shot the media made it so so scary for everyone we thought this was our Saving Grace was there any discussion from the doctors there that this was an experimental use of a new technology mRNA injection there was lots of talk about mRNA and what a lot of them said was you don't really know that was the census is that we don't know we're just being told and since what we're you know this is what we're being told so because we're being told this this is going to save us foreign people that have gotten these experimental use authorization injections how are they faring we have someone joining us now 20 years of age Peyton welcome and I thank you for being willing to share your story I understand that you had gotten two injections it wasn't something you were thinking you would go ever go out and do but because of something you wanted to do it required the injections do you want to share anything about that yeah so I had put my papers in for a two-year LDS mission it's something I've always wanted to do and it's been a big goal of mine and I was going to accomplish that goal and I wanted the full missionary experience I was called the Houston Texas Mission and to get into the MTC which is a three-week train foreign part of the concern for safe and effective is among athletes high-level athletes whether they be in the amateur realm all the way the professional realm we have now a special guest here that has participated in athletics at the highest level of the professional World from the international realm to the NBA as a basketball player Fred Roberts thank you so much for being here willing to discuss this topic I'm an educator my wife's been an educator for 15 years and the Damage that we have seen in the classroom from students wearing masks every day for almost two years you know not being able to go to school for the first year and then the second year wearing masking up and I see a different kid in the classroom today than I saw two years ago or three years ago so what brings you today to discuss the topic of you know questioning safe safety and efficacy at the time of covet and these so-called vaccines that came out I was contacted by a former teammate of mine and he told me about the group they had they were getting together and they had Zoom calls once a month and asked if I'd like to participate and I said absolutely uh we're finding Physicians more and more talking about integrating natural therapies into the things that they've been utilizing pharmaceutically and otherwise for many years and decades joining me now a board-certified naturopath traditional naturopath and homeopath Neil Schultz and many people don't know much about naturopathy or Homeopathy anymore and I guess the question would be how did you even find it you know that's an interesting question Robert I I became heavily involved in natural medicine 13 years ago as I received a personal terminal diagnosis so going from there from school to school class to class and eventually becoming board certified and then choosing Homeopathy as my passion has given me a real opportunity to uncover things that I had no idea in my previous life that even existed what other symptoms did you experience after the second shot so after this and shot I immediately began having a really bad headache I don't get bad headaches regularly and probably a few times a year if I'm out in the sun too much so the headaches were extreme and it progressed to a point a pain that I would say for me personally on a pain scale of one to ten it was a nine it was unbearable where tears were just what's the word spontaneously falling the brain frog was immediate uh the the tripping over and stuttering I'm not usually one to stutter I I don't usually have word fillers as a professional speaker I have learned to get rid of the US and ums and I could not avoid them I immediately had severe fatigue it went from being fine within the hour to my whole body felt like it was being taken over with just an overwhelming number of symptoms including severe fatigue in fact when I received the vaccine it was just a few weeks before the national pageant and there's an event a huge event at the national pageant it's it's held at a wonderful venue in Las Vegas so it's all exciting and it's everything that you think it's going to be very glamorous event well there's a beautiful evening event where we're all dressed and it's a very beautiful formal event all the judges are there you're being judged for what you do on stage and you get to go on stage and you introduce yourself I was only a few weeks removed from receiving the vaccine and I had zero energy first of all so I was at this pageant literally with the most severe fatigue that I've ever experienced in my lifetime I had difficulty breathing I had difficulty speaking without being winded it was very very severe and I went on stage no fear I have no fear of this of the stage and blank the microphone is in front of me they asked me to say something I can't I just went blank I could not remember where I was at I couldn't remember the person next to me they wanted me to introduce the person next to me she was one of my closest friends from Utah we were both representing Utah and she was our Mrs Utah one of her Mrs Utah title holders and I stared at her and I just could not remember where I was at I couldn't remember what I was asked to do couldn't remember her name and she's a dear friend of mine and of course later you know people in the audience are gasping there are hundreds of people in this formal event listening to you and normally that's my specialty I love speaking with people but for some reason uh you know the vaccine affected me very severely neurologically shortly after I had the second shot about 30 minutes after that's when I started you know having palpitations and I started to pass out at work and was actually taken to the ER what other symptoms have you experienced since that second shot that you received not right after but I think within two weeks of the shot I started to grow a limp a lymph node started to grow on my neck and it just would not go down and I went and saw my PCP and he informed me that it's very possible that I could have lymphatic cancer and during this time it was about two months before anybody really did anything for me and so the lymph node actually ended up growing to the size of a golf ball and was eventually taken out in a dissection I started losing my hair and I have quite a big patch here and that's something that started gradually happening after the lymph node to section their fellow had lost all the strength in his legs to the point that he couldn't walk had to be moved from his private home to an assisted living never fully recovered continued to have issue after issue and passed away eight months later there are just so many stories that I've seen I had a patient a young patient he was in his 50s and he was really active he had a successful job that he loved he would go golfing every weekend had a beautiful home right on a golf course and within a week of getting his booster shot he started having memory troubles and started having some weakness which he was a picture of Health his wife didn't know what to do when he started having trouble with speech and was falling more and more she took him in to be evaluated they diagnosed him with rapidly degenerative brain disorder this was in the fall time that he began having these symptoms and he passed away before Christmas he had two grandchildren never met his third the first case I saw was the was a case of acute pericarditis in a young patient healthy it had not had reactions before but it happened kind of the same week that the report came out I think from Israel about the incidence of pericarditis so we ended up transferring her to another hospital based on her preference and kind of told the docus we transferred it and they were surprised to hear about it but kind of right away from the ear in the emergency room I kind of recognized that this was a vaccine side effect and myocarditis is another thing that became a commonly used term in this era right this is not something again you would see in a lot of patients or was it pretty typical as a cardiologist to see patients like these I would say that in terms of the class definition of myocarditis with st changes in tripolar elevation not so much it's not that common but I see a lot of what I would say are subtle myocarditis and that people come in with chest pain and shortness of breath and heart rhythm issues that have been going on for months and there was a change after they took the shots so one of the points of controversy regarding cardiac events after covid versus after a coveted vaccination or jab arguments have been made that well those cardiac events are due to having covet or having long covet versus being an adverse event to a vaccination can you make any distinction there in that regard have you seen people that have had covid and not the vaccination have similar or identical events of the cardiac variety another physician had mentioned to me that he thought that he was seeing a lot of long-term covet in the unvaccinated and not in the vaccinated I said oh really that's surprising to me because in my experience everyone that I've seen with these kind of long-haul symptoms have been in the vaccinated or even the recurrent infections that people that have been infected three or four times have been in the vaccinated shortly after the second one is when I noticed some fatigue started to set in and I didn't really think anything of it at the time I just thought well you know maybe I'm just kind of blah or whatever as time went on I got more and more fatigued and that's when I thought wow I need to go to the doctor and see what's going on make sure there's there's nothing serious because this is really unusual for me I'm a pretty active person um I have six grandchildren they come over and play all the time and I I was just too tired to have them around and as it turned out um by the time I I got the appointment was a few weeks before I could get in and by the time I got to the appointment I had started experiencing some pretty severe insomnia the strangest thing that happened to me um was that at night when I would try to go to sleep sometimes I would be able to drift off to sleep and you're just in that stage where you're just kind of getting drowsy and you're you're getting ready to drift off and I would feel this Sensation that my brain was shaking and then it would wake me up and then I would be wide awake the neurologist said you know I started the meeting with her and I started to um read my list of symptoms um and I got about a quarter of the way through the page and she said you have long covet and I said but I've never had covid in fact I've tested many times for covid because I work for Emergency Medical Services I have access to as much many tests as I want my husband had covid I tested a lot when he had covered I've never had covid and she said um I'm sure you just had an asymptomatic case of covid so now you have one covered I apologize I'm at a loss for words when I hear a doctor say you have an asymptomatic disease do you understand that's an oxymoron I eventually went to another neurologist to just to get another opinion as the months went by I was just at a point in my life where I didn't want to take my own life I didn't have any plans to take my own life but I just collapsed and I cried and I said I can't do this anymore my poor husband um I was just crying and I said I want to die foreign he was just so sweet and he said you can't die I need you and because I've been on this Earth quite a while I've been through a lot of trials in my life I just had that thought of there's light there's light at some point I'm gonna have a lot of struggles for a while don't know how long but God's gonna get me through this at some point after I had taken the first vaccine which was the Pfizer vaccine I went home took a nap and woke up with my face feeling numb like you're at a dentist office and you know that numb feeling when they numb your teeth and I looked at the mirror and it was definitely not symmetrical but as a former neural nurse as well I did a quick neural assessment on myself and could tell that it was not a stroke because I had you know done this assessment I heard uh talks about Bell's palsy and that's what it looked like to me because during the neural assessment I knew it was just my face how long until you noticed that there was some effects that you felt were related to that second injection well the next couple weeks after I started feeling really anxious like your you know your heart's just not in not feeling right it's like palpitating I knew that there was something wrong and uh at this time I was working in a cardiac procedure unit so I actually at one point when I was feeling this crummy I hooked myself up to the EKG and saw every time I felt horrible what was going on and what was actually going on was that I would have what they call PVCs or an irregular beet backfiring back to back so I'd have a normal Rhythm and then it would go boom boom boom boom boom boom boom when I was feeling crummy and feeling that it was so bad that I was feeling so bad that I had my manager sign my Advanced directives because I thought I was gonna die I and me and my husband the whole time were talking about this issue and keeping it between ourselves but we came to a point where this was serious I had to tell my children I had to look them in the eyes and say you know what we need to you know we need to make some good memories because I don't know if I'm going to be here doctor you've been a physician for how many years Primary Care 32 32 years so you've seen a lot in a 32-year career you are comfortable commenting on the Adverse Events that we've been seeing within the covid vaccination program a lot of the symptoms are just like covet itself and it seems like the design of the vaccine is to and their intent perhaps I it might be to make it to improve our immune system about it but what we end up with is the same problem and really it doesn't decrease the risk and the people are worse off except what's happening now is with the vaccine injury there's less of the respiratory stuff there's still some and but there's so much fatigue shortness of breath and what's happening I think is that these immortalized if this didn't come from me but the research showing that the monocytes are immortalized and then they're causing a continual of muscle activation and and so you have this this continual inflammation for instance of the of the blood vessel walls especially this closing down the diameter of blood vessel walls with all these histamines thrown or floating around and then the hypercoagulability can continues all kinds of different symptoms and you see that with the vaccines the question here is the types of Adverse Events associated with these Jabs versus all the other vaccines prior to this are they significantly different are they just more the same well they're vastly increased I mean there's a lot more injuries with this vaccine I believe it's a spike protein that targets targets the ace receptors as it so that there's a lot a big concentration of these Asian sectors in the reproductive organs and what they're seeing is that there's dramatically decreased fertility in the fertility clinics who are willing to report it it is unique and and it makes sense because those Spike proteins are targeted to the fertilities at first I had no immediate adverse I lost four pounds within the first month but I didn't think it was related and I had a few other symptoms that I attributed to my autoimmune condition and then after the second vaccine that's when the gas was put on the Fire so in other words your auto pre-existing autoimmune symptoms came back or worsened and so by the after two weeks is when things really started to get progressing and within a month I had Tremors and within eight weeks I could no longer perform my job and I had to quit my Tremors became so bad I was no longer able to wear shoes because I have a condition called erythromyalgia which was unclear at first because it's so rare that doctors didn't have a diagnosis for me I was told I had anxiety and of course I started getting anxiety because I had all these symptoms that I could not be helped with now the the list of symptoms I read is quite long like 40 different symptoms were these all pre-existing or were there any that were new that you didn't have before the list of 40 symptoms are all new since the modern vaccine and some have resolved but I I still have remaining symptoms that I still have not figured out did they say why they wouldn't help you to submit The Verge report mostly it was a lack of acknowledgment that these symptoms were correlated with the vaccine so I've seen probably 10 to 13 practitioners as the months progressed as you start to go from one doctor to another doctor when your symptoms are so atypical doctors don't know what they're looking at and so I eventually found some compassionate doctors that said there may be a correlation or there is a correlation but by and large most doctors would not acknowledge the correlation because they have no data stating that this can happen at the time so after the first shot what happened I got the first shot and I just immediately fatigued so um just super fatigued and I had a hard time eating I was sleeping 14 hours a day I mean I was just absolutely drained and you know previous to getting sick we didn't know what was going on we thought I hadn't been sleeping well so we thought it was a little bit of sleep deprivation and so we had no idea what was going on so so after the first like I said extreme fatigue um you know Vision was a little blurry my stomach hurt that's when all the constipation uh began and then I just progressively got worse and worse and then I had shortness of breath and I was so anxious you know just just you know going anywhere I have to go shopping with my my grandma and I was like I'd stay right next door to my I would just start shaking and I just like you know fall to the floor but did you make the second crew aware of what you had experienced in the first um yeah we talked about it I mean I talked about you know to some people I said you know what are the side effects I'm feeling this this and this and I said well even if you have side effects it should maybe last two weeks you know like did they show any concern that the second shot might be contraindicated no just they just gave it to me after I got the second dose I didn't have a reaction the the day getting it and then I woke up the next day to get Scopes because we were having stomach problems from the first and I couldn't stop throwing up and I was so anxious so they scoped me the doctors put me under anesthesics with you know basically an arrhythmia I had developed arrhythmia but they thought it was just because I was anxious because that's all I haven't been sleeping and I'm just really anxious so they didn't think it was arrhythmia cause but on the second dose so what happened is so I couldn't stop shaking and I got the chills I mean it was so it was in June I'd got my second dose and it's 100 degrees outside and I you know I have snow pants on I have sweatpants I have three layers of socks I have a winter jacket I was so cold and I thought I was gonna get um just you know I can't think of where you get really cold you know I was just my body hypothermia each week I just progressively got worse and then when I hit the six week Mark I could only like eat yogurt and I couldn't drink anything else I'd throw it up I got a heart rate monitor after we were diagnosed with my arrhythmia and you know it was like halfway through July I just woke up one day and I couldn't even walk up the stairs and I had someone help me and then I tried going down the stairs and I fell down the stairs and I just you know just started crying because you know here I was trying to go out on an LDS mission and you know you know people didn't agree with the religion that I was preaching at least that I would be you know helping people and service in some way and you know just to be you know wanting to do that for so long and then just to not even get up the stairs and I you know it's just so pale and you know my hair was just so greasy my fingernails were just basically you know falling out of so red and my my ankles were swollen so bad did you have a guy that sprained an ankle did you have any urinary tract difficulties yeah so I would pee and I would basically fall to my knees and start crying because it hurts so bad and then I had these pictures on my phone where the urine just you know it looks like someone broke you know pencil in and put it in the toilet and you know my parents didn't know what was going on like graphite the graphite yeah and it smelled like if I was in a construction zone just like you know in the crane take the big metal just just so metally you know and I know had you gone to a urologist a gastroenterologist I went to the urologist and I went to the gastrologist right after my second dose but um they didn't say anything was wrong with my stomach really and they didn't really look at my stomach they just looked at my throat just because I was throwing stuff out and really one of the you know the side effects of all is you know gas Gastrology and bloating so you know they didn't really kind of know what to really do because it's not like it showed up you know it was kind of a in the shot but then I went to urologist and they looked at my pee and I said well I think I have kidney stones and you know that's what I've read and you know and they looked at the year and said we don't know what that is we've never seen anything like that it looks like metal toxicity they said this yeah on these calls has there been any discussion of anybody that has suffered Adverse Events any observations that that had come out in these calls that raised the level of concern among these athletes and and coaches perhaps and uh referees Etc a couple of the guys on the call their wives have been seriously injured they connected to the vaccination well that's part of why they got involved quite a bit is because they've seen this and then we hear these young players college players who are passing out not able to play anymore high school players are not able to play anymore because of hard events or whatever kind of events they've had and then they're they're been deaths and we don't know that's something they're not willing to research but there's kid from Wisconsin Whitewater who dropped over dead and the uw-whitewater athletic department says one of its star basketball players who is also a standout at Madison LaFollette High School suddenly passed away Derek gray was a first-team all-conference performer last year for the warhawks averaging almost 18 points a game tonight in a tweet the uw-whitewater athletic department acknowledged his death saying Derek passed away unexpectedly on Sunday quote playing the game he loved the uw-whitewater men's basketball tip-off Club has set up a GoFundMe page to cover funeral expenses Derek gray was 20 years old I have had a couple athletes commands saying they could no longer compete because of their symptoms and basically it was kind of a a chronic chest pain short Sabra some heart palpitations fatigue um where it was initially a little surprised to see it and someone at that level of Fitness that the shots you know sort of almost expected in the in the frail um elderly patients that may be more susceptible to side effects but but uh to see it in a college athlete or an ultra distance Runner uh I was a little surprised to see that you know I played with a guy um Reggie Reggie Lewis when I was in Boston and young guy he had a hard event when he was in the middle of his career Hank Gathers when he was in the middle of his career so that kind of stuff may happen but we're seeing it more often now much more often be after they use vaccinations so we've heard many stories of people within the medical profession laypersons working various jobs young people without jobs even about listening to these stories these people that are suffering pay attention to what they're saying so that more do not have to suffer in the wake of those who are right now the question we should ask is how did this happen how can we have such adverse effects in spite of the scientific development of the vaccine what was really involved in the science itself so what is the scientific process how does it work in real life there are many choices that scientists have to make especially in the Life Sciences to accomplish a proper study first of all there is a choice in selecting the relationship to study it is possible to include or exclude certain things and human bias can come in the very choice of relationships that are studied secondly there is the obligation to study all the data without cherry picking or bias thirdly and most importantly our reasoning process has to be logical and sound we cannot fall into any logical fallacies while reasoning or the whole process will collapse after the study is done all the details must then be shared publicly and transparently this is our Baseline let us now compare this with the process followed in the case of covid-19 vaccination let us look into selecting the right relationships to study with a novel therapy like mRNA technology one of the first things is to consider obviously safety this is a choice that has to be made early on what actually happened according to the manufacturer's own disclosures no safety pharmacological studies were conducted right off the bat a decision has been made to ignore safety in addition since mRNA technology introduces genetic material like RNA into the cell we would expect a study to check if there is any toxicity due to genetic material and what do we find once again no genotoxicity studies are planned what about one of the dangerous diseases of our time cancer perhaps we should check if the therapy can have a carcinogenic effect no because carcinogenicity Studies have also not been conducted if genotoxicity was not studied what about any effect on the genes at all a Freedom of Information Act request in early 2022 asked the CDC for all documents to support that covid-19 vaccines do not change or interact with the DNA in any way and what did the CDC say it simply said it had no records of this documentation in other words there was no evidence that the DNA is unaffected for us therefore we're really taking that leap us as a company buyer in seller gene therapy which to me is one of these examples where really we're going to make a difference hopefully moving forward there's some ultimately the the MRNA vaccines are an example for that cell and gene therapy I always like to say if we had surveyed two years ago in the public would you be willing to take a gene gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body we would have probably had a 95 refusal rate what about the all-important question about the risk for pregnant women once again the FDA fact sheet for the vaccine rollout stated that available data are insufficient to inform vaccine Associated risks or in other words they have not been studied enough to decide one way or another what about the effect on the most vulnerable of the population the infants data is not available to even assess the safety let alone to determine the question of safety one way or another all in all it is clear that right at the beginning of the scientific process we can see that various relationships to safety have not been studied in basic categories like infant Health pregnancy and pharmacological safety another example of making scientific claims without having the data is from the hospitals without completing any professional due diligence on the safety of the vaccines and in direct contrast to the documents obtained from the manufacturers themselves hospitals recommended them for pregnant and breastfeeding women covid-19 vaccines are now available to many people but you may have questions about them fact number five covid-19 vaccines have not been linked to infertility or miscarriage there is zero evidence that either the disease or the vaccine have caused infertility in women the last crucial relationship is the relationship to time the covid vaccines were ready within a year through operation warp speed and hence lack data that spans many years to monitor the long-term side effects without that data the Utah Department of Health claims that their long-term effects are unlikely and only the first six weeks are important which is a baseless claim the BBC on the other hand seeks to Define short-term as long-term a year the primary concern though usually is systemic Adverse Events rather than local Adverse Events and we we tend to get in the phase two in the phase three studies quite good data on the local reactogenicity but this is not the major health concern the major health concern which we are seeing are accusations of long-term long-term effects I've worked in healthcare long enough that anytime something is brand new be it a an injection or a medication of any sort I'm always just a little bit wary of that I usually say well let's give it five years or so let's see if it's still on the market let's see if it's been pulled let's see if there's lawsuits anytime there's a latest and greatest I am a little wary I've seen that enough to know that I'm going to wait it out why don't we blow the system up I mean obviously we can't just turn off the spigot on the system we have and then say hey everyone in the world should get this new vaccine we've been given to anyone yet but there must be some way that we grow vaccines mostly in eggs the way we did in 1947. in order to make the transition from getting out of the tried and true egg growing which we know gives us results that can be you know beneficial I mean we've done well with that to something that has to be much better uh you have to prove that this works and then you've got to go through all of the clinical trials phase ones phase twos phase three and then show that this particular product is going to be good over a period of years that alone if it works perfectly is going to take a decade if you take it and then a year goes by and everybody's fine then you say okay that's good now let's give it to a 500 people and then a year goes by and everything's fine say well then now let's give it to thousands of people and then you find out that it takes 12 years for all hell to break loose and then what have you done then I got involved I said that's ridiculous so I pushed them they had all these statutory periods they had to go a certain speed we got it done in less than nine months it would have taken minimum three years would have probably gone five years I don't think they would have ever had you back them up financially as well yes first of all president Trump deserves a lot of credit to secretary Azar for operation warp speed the senate in providing billions of dollars to produce a vaccine while it was being tested and approved so now once it's approved it can start shipping immediately so that was a brilliant uh operation from my standpoint but all the money resources and skill in the world cannot speed up the clock the laws of physics and biology cannot be altered by spending money and long-term effects remain to be seen only in the long term scientific process fails at the very first level and no claim of safety can scientifically be made when it is systematically being excluded what about observing the data that do end up in the final trials the published results in the New England Journal of Medicine focused only on the first aspect the number of people that got coveted in the vaccinated versus the placebo group what they did not focus on was the overall result which showed that deaths were more in the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated the Physicians for informed consent pointed a study of the trials that showed that for every two covid-19 hospitalizations prevented 10 serious vaccine adverse events occurred in other words the trials themselves showed clear evidence of harm not help there's something called pharmacovigilance in other words we have to monitor what happens after a vaccine is on the market whether it's approved fully or through an emergency use authorization this is where the vares database comes in vaccine adverse event Reporting System the Centers for Disease Control and prevention and the Food and Drug Administration have many safety monitoring systems to make sure every vaccine is as safe as possible one of these systems is theirs the vaccine adverse event Reporting System vares accepts reports from anyone patients parents caregivers and health care providers Healthcare Providers are required to report certain Adverse Events after vaccination Vare studies reports of possible health problems also called Adverse Events after vaccination theirs can't prove a vaccine caused a problem but it acts as an early warning system to help CDC and FDA decide whether a potential safety issue exists Veris reports patterns that warn scientists of possible health problems that might need more study vaccine safety experts look for unusually high numbers of health problems or a pattern of problems after people get a particular vaccine as I have asked two of my Physicians if they had reported a various reports they have told me no were you able to talk with the doctor or doctors that administered these injections and say hey is there any connection did they acknowledge what you were experiencing no I actually got mine at the health department and I reported an adverse event and they told me to contact theirs which I did and reported my own event no doctors would report my event to bears and again the first time you see it you tend to be in denial one of the surgeons we had a patient that needed surgery but had had a sudden heart failure you know weakening the heart and they'd asked could this be from the shot and like well certainly we know causes merchandise can certainly cause heart failure made sense in terms of the timeline but they were friends with the surgeons and the surgeon sat down now it's not related at all so there's still that kind of denial even though it's been reported in the news and no other explanation for it foreign for the system to be of real use the CDC is supposed to analyze the data it had promised to conduct the prr analysis to identify Adverse Events that raise an alarm this would have also cleared up any spurious data and generate proper feedback on the vaccine program so let us check what became of this analysis the Freedom of Information Act request was sent to the agency to disclose all the data analysis done on the data obtained from vares and what was the answer from the CDC shockingly enough the CDC had contrary to its promise done no analysis of the safety signals at all not only that it also declared that it cannot do any data mining and passed off the responsibility to the FDA and the FDA in turn refuses to provide a safety analysis since the agencies were passing the buck around individual citizens recently took the initiative and used Freedom of Information again to obtain the prrs anything above prr-2 shows that the covet vaccines enhance the side effect more than all other vaccines they received data that showed a prr of about 31 for strokes 33 for heart valve issues 105 for breakthrough covid-19 and most importantly 5.86 for death these are damning safety numbers for any vaccine no wonder the agencies refused to look this is where the first logical fallacy arises that undermines the whole scientific process which we will examine next the appeal to ignorance fallacy occurs when we state that there is no evidence because we have not looked even at the local level in Utah health officials continue to make claims based on the ignorance fallacy such as this communication that we receive by email from Lisha Nolan the Utah State epidemiologist she stated that the vaccines do not modify the genetic code without providing any references she gets paid nearly a third of a million dollars a year this how much taxpayer money we need to spend for her to appeal to ignorance fact number four covid-19 vaccines don't change your DNA in any way they trigger an immune response that creates antibodies to protect you from getting infected with covid-19 sample scientific communication that is spread far and wide by the Utah Department of Health goes something like this Beachbody what would you say to those whether they be in government or medicine that claim that these Adverse Events and deaths are rare wow um I would encourage them to actually talk to the people who have seen them I saw just a huge number of reactions I would say close to half the number of people that I saw get the vaccine had at least moderate reactions with close to a quarter of them having severe reactions again we're talking vision loss Strokes the degenerative brain disorder losing all strength in their legs losing the ability to walk in fact this was one of the first fallacies that occurred during the beginning of the Scientific Revolution the famous Galileo offered his telescope to the Learned man of his day and asked them to look through it to decide whether he was speaking the truth several people refused to even look through the telescope there's a friend of mine who is a nurse and I was telling her about the reactions I've seen and she goes well that's interesting I haven't seen any reactions this was about a year after the vaccines were released and I said really you haven't had any reaction any reactions and she said no and I said have you noticed an uptick in neurological problems in Strokes in severe muscle weakness in vision loss and she said Yes actually now that you mention it there has been quite an uptick in that I said have you looked back in their medical records to see how many of them happened recently following a coveted vaccine and she acknowledged no that she hadn't and I said start looking and a couple months later I ran into her again and she actually acknowledged that she had started looking and was absolutely floored that almost every single case that she was seeing had happened within a week or two of them receiving the covet vaccine it was something she had never even thought about before because she was so ingrained in thinking that it couldn't be that or we don't need to look I mean if you're not looking you're not going to see it in four centuries we are back to square one with regard to safety data from the covid vaccines the government and the pharmaceutical companies have both refused to look if our analysis of data includes reasoning fallacies the very foundation of the scientific process collapses let us see how the reasoning holds up on other aspects a Freedom of Information Act request asks for documents to support the cdc's claim that the vaccines did not enhance the variance of the virus and the CDC failed to find any such records but they went on to argue that they failed to find records because the vaccines do not create or cause the variance this is a classic example of circular reasoning the records do not exist because they cannot exist and our claim is not based on any scientific data at all if the CDC and FDA have not studied this data what about the doctors themselves what about the American Medical Association which is a premier scientific organization of medical professionals they do their own analysis no they simply depended on the FDA and CDC to monitor the safety which we have seen that they have not done in other words they simply appealed to the authority which is another on scientific practice that we have seen in the last couple of years not only that even academic institutions themselves have chosen to actively promote unscientific practices this example from the University of Kansas shows they argue that vaccine selfies must be encouraged because they create the bandwagon effect which is another logical fallacy the appeal to Authority and bandwagon fallacies combined have created a virtual epidemic of unscientific reasoning in almost all the organizations in the world the last logical fallacy we would have to examine involves the way we understand the side effects from the covid-19 shot it has been declared by all the medical authorities including the Intermountain Health Care locally in Utah that side effects are a sign the vaccine is working with no further qualification our Larissa Scott explains why so many people are having a reaction and why doctors say it's a good thing experts say the reason why more people are having a reaction to the covid-19 vaccine than they would the flu vaccine for example is because this vaccine is made a little differently really means that your immune system is sort of ramping up especially as the CDC has not analyzed the reported side effects how can this be claimed does this include severe Adverse Events does disability and death show the vaccine is working thank you and what the FDA did with Johnson and Johnson is so stupid six people out of seven experienced some difficulty six people and that's too bad it's terrible but they they paused it that's the worst thing you could have done from a public relations standpoint and I think we had a lot of good uptake on the Johnson and Johnson in March and into April we have saw a noticeable decline in J and J when they pulled it back because of the FDA I think it was a huge mistake I said so at the time and I think that that sent a message that maybe this is not something that uh that they should be doing I think that's been unfortunate because I took it I think it's I think it's effective this is a big problem in science where a statement can never be proved false it's called the lack of falsifiability the hill referred to this problem as the science is settled until it's not for example what happens if there is data that could show that the shot is either unsafe ineffective or both we can refuse to analyze the data and continue to declare that the science is settled it is safe and effective or if we do admit that there is data we can say that the data is not finalized yet since science is evolving we did not know either way there is no scientific pathway allowed to disprove the safety of the vaccines the last scientific issue we will discuss is that of transparency it is essential for all findings in relation to the vaccine trials to be freely and openly made available to the public since transparency is another fundamental property of sharing the results of research Reuters reported how the FDA wanted 55 years to share the data from Pfizer's vaccine trials when we had been provided vaccines via operation warp speed why did transparency occur only at a snail's pace in addition even the data released by the FDA contains redactions of critical information such as what exactly happens during RNA transcription in the body with respect to the vaccine this the standard of transparency that we accept for genetic material that we put in the body a court while ordering FDA to release the data emphasize the legal value of transparency as well it stated that stale information is of little value and also that excessive delay is tantamount to denial of information hence both scientifically and legally the vaccines have not done well on the transparency test I did mention this in the other docs like you really shouldn't be encouraging patients to get this as opposed to saying here's the data make your decision based on all available data if you're going to encourage this you really need to provide all the risks and benefits and I didn't really see that so it was a little bit of pushback on that that they were just going to do their own thing let me start out by sharing a little bit of a personal story if you don't mind I get a little Brave sometimes and so I walked into a pharmacy and I said you know I've been thinking about taking the jab as I commonly refer to it and I said but you know I she said when she interrupted me really fast she says oh you know come on around here we'll get you in and out in about 10 minutes and you'll be done and gone and I said well isn't there some paperwork that I'm supposed to read and sign and she says well you know we usually have people sign that afterwards should have been really indication right there right oh let me get you the paperwork and you can read it well I just happened to pick up the sentence right in the middle it says I understand the risks and benefits of this vaccine so I said to her I think I understand the benefits as they've been extolled but tell me the risks I mean I I'm I'm not hearing much about the risks what are they and you'd have thought that I would have asked her to give me a million dollars oh coming back to our overall analysis we can say that all the essential scientific requirements have been mostly ignored in the development of the vaccine as a result of failing these basic requirements all Arguments for the vaccine tend to relapse into a much older way of interacting with the world through belief and religion so if you believe in science and if you're grateful for vaccines and we do and we are wait a second who's doubting that vaccines work for the record we never for a minute doubted it we bought all of that stuff completely at face value we believe in science thank you I feel like with people in general it's it's hard to you know I think this is basically just you know separate the nation because people over here saying you know get facts you know we're in a pandemic I want my life back and people are saying well either doesn't do anything and it just causes a huge controversy between people and we can receive the vaccine morally and it might even be seen as a moral good to receive it for the better protection of society for children vulnerable adults and others who might be at higher risk Faith organizations have come out to say the benefits of getting the vaccine far outweigh any ethical concerns about its development Jewish Scholars say the Torah requires it Muslim leaders endorse it too leaving legitimate religious excuses to skip the shots far and few between today's sermon Islam is a mom cry is fact check for the faithful this vaccine is absolutely Halal the covid-19 vaccines got a holy endorsement on Wednesday Pope Francis told reporters that Humanity has a history of Friendship with vaccines and urged everyone to get their shots in India the Dalai Lama getting his first coronavirus vaccine shot the Tibetan spiritual leader urging his followers to do the same courage to dick is in this injection utahns who are over age 70 are getting their covid-19 vaccines and today that included leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints another aspect of belief has been the belief in political leaders as a result medicine got politicized as the vaccine itself was both denounced and defended to start with when we finally do God willing get a vaccine who's going to take the shot who's going to take the shot you can be the first one to say put me sign me up they now say it's okay because the vaccine's safe frankly I'm not going to trust the federal government's opinion and I wouldn't recommend to New Yorkers based on the federal government's opinion if the Trump Administration approves a vaccine before or after the election should Americans take it and would you take it if the public health professionals if Dr fauci if the doctors tell us that we should take it I'll be the first in line to take it absolutely but if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it I'm not taking it the fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in a vaccine if the vaccine emerges during the Trump Administration I think is is unconscionable and Senator I just ask you stop playing politics with people's lives and a president who does not believe in science and when you don't believe in science you cannot address the pandemic unless you believe in science Trump does not Biden does so if you're vaccinated you're protected but if you're unvaccinated you're not and you're putting yourself more importantly maybe from your perspective your family and your friends at risk so please get vaccinated now we take care of a lot of people including I guess on December 21st we took care of Joe Biden because he got his shot he got his vaccine he forgot it shows you how unpaintful That vaccine shot is so everybody go get your shot you know they all want me to do a commercial because a lot of our people don't want to take vaccine you know I don't know what that is exactly Republican I don't know what it is you encourage people to get I encourage them to take it I do but they want me to make a video did you get it they yes they did they went I had it and I took it okay you got both because I believe so my message is the vaccines protect you get vaccinated and then live your life as if you're protected you don't have to chafe under restrictions uh infinitum and so I'm hoping that we're going to be able to get a little bit more uptake you know what I believe totally in your freedoms I do pre you got to do what you have to do but and take the vaccines I did it it's the vaccines but but the president and I are vacs and did you get the booster yes I got it too okay so um Trump began the expedited vaccine program as early as September 2019 with his executive order Then followed operation warp speed which handled the logistics of vaccine Supply this was followed by the transition to the Biden Administration which continued the deployment of the vaccines even leading to an executive order to mandate it at the federal level let us Begin by exploring the suggestions given based upon the 2009 influenza pandemic specifically on the role of the media thank you very much thanks for the invitation and I was asked to to tell you about my experiences being the the crisis manager of the flu commissioner for for Belgium and and highlighting the communication aspects there these are some of my conflicts of interest over the past 20 years I guess and then you have one opportunity to do it right I mean day one is so important in day one you start your communication with the Press with the people and and you have to do it right I mean you have to go for one voice one message One Voice one message how was it that the script played itself out during the spread of covid-19 specifically with the rollout of the vaccine Pfizer now says its vaccine is 95 effective and safe the data just days away from being submitted to the FDA the f FDA assessment showed that the vaccine was around 95 percent effective there is some good news from Pfizer tonight they're now reporting their vaccine is even more effective than first thought final results showing their vaccine 95 percent effective it works incredibly well 95 maybe even more than that it works incredibly well you know in the clinical trials when they did it in Pfizer and moderna It was 95 both of them I think were 95 effective at preventing a subsequent infection Darna announcing its vaccine is nearly 95 percent effective ethnic vaccine are said to be up to 95 percent effective that's around the same figure we've heard from the candidates from Pfizer moderna and AstraZeneca Pfizer says the vaccine is now shown to be 95 percent effective 95 effective winds when 95 effective it's almost 95 effective 95 effective in its final analysis 95 percent sounds great doesn't it but what are the real risk reductions even after excluding several groups from the trials about one percent for Pfizer you needed to vaccinate 141 people to prevent one from getting coveted all in all 95 was nothing more than a marketing ploy to trigger vaccine acceptance Pfizer CBS healthwatch sponsored by Pfizer Anderson Cooper 360. brought to you by Pfizer making a difference foreign to understand how even in the local Utah media messaging about the vaccine completely exited the realm of Science and entered the realm of marketing we can look at the research done locally by Intermountain as well as Envision Utah they sought to find out ways to convince utahns to take the vaccine by doing a massive survey and what did the survey show based on the survey they filtered out words and phrases that had positive associations in order to sculpt the right message to influence the maximum number of people by creating a positive values map like this the final large-scale messaging was put together this mirrors exactly the messaging that was used on a large scale to Target those in Utah who did not plan to get the vaccine vaccinations and boosters have been shown to reduce hospitalizations and deaths they are the most important thing you can do to protect yourself your loved ones and your community vaccines work important figures in the community and their trustworthiness in the population was evaluated in order to wield the maximum influence on utahns individuals like Angela Dunn Mark Harrison and Russell Nelson were all deemed to have a high value in the community based on this knowledge of influencing Utah the vaccination program surged ahead so what about engaging the um social the influences of this day that like the entertainment industry um that has been tried to a certain extent also in 2009 I mean you saw Barack Obama being vaccinated we do that every year in the hospital in the hospital the director and the vice director in their underwear are vaccinated that has a huge impact so influencers are are important um but you you well you need to write influencers I'm at the Utah Public Health laboratory and I got my first dose of to get it so that we protect the most vulnerable people in our society and stop this pandemic here are the asks for you the asks are for you to Stamp Out disinformation the ask for you for personally get vaccinated and encourage your friends it was kind of like picture day only with a sting at the end of it the first presidency and the Quorum of The Twelve Apostles who are 70 and older all got together today for their shots president Russell M Nelson well he's 96 well above the 70 year old threshold also a former heart surgeon his wife Wendy also received her shot President Nelson tweeted out today reading in part Wendy and I were vaccinated today against covet 19. we have prayed for this literal godsend it was uh not too long after that that a religious leader in This Woman's religion uh came out and called the vaccina godsend so she told me that they were gonna go get the booster that she was going to put Faith over fear she took her husband in to get the booster he said he wanted to get it first they didn't want to get it together because she was afraid if they had a reaction she wouldn't be able to care for him again within three days of his booster he was non-responsive I ended up being his hospice nurse at that point rather than his home health nurse and he passed away within a week foreign what is the trustworthiness however of the companies that have brought us the vaccines what is their track record since the year 2000 Pfizer has paid out over 10 billion dollars for offenses related to safety health care and government contracts including the second highest pharmaceutical payment of all time Pfizer has agreed to pay 2.3 billion dollars the largest Health Care fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice within that 2.3 billion dollars is a criminal fine of 1.195 billion dollars which makes it the largest criminal fine in history Johnson and Johnson has paid out almost 15 billion dollars for offenses related to safety health care and government contracts AstraZeneca as well has paid out over one billion dollars for offenses related to safety health care and government contracts we have entrusted our health care to those who have the highest criminal fines for health care in history does that make sense to you we saw that the scientific process was flawed and led more towards pseudoscientific belief in various authorities be it religious political or industrial and the media helped propagate this belief through various psychological techniques how did this happen why did this happen this way let us now attempt to diagnose this social situation what actually ails the system of medicine and health care in order to diagnose that we have to realize that at the root of this social disease we have conflicts of interest these are embedded in the system and like a flare-up of a chronic disease these conflicts have come to the surface in the last two years first of all we have the interaction between the medical industry and the state in this case we can have strong financial ties to the legislatures at the local and federal level through pharmaceutical lobbying which accelerated in the beginning of 2020. sure I think the farm industry has one of the highest ratios of lobbyists to members of Congress of just about any industry out there so that is part of the Public's grievance as well as a lot of money that just flows up here in the form of campaign contributions Etc with Pharma spending millions in the first quarter of 2020. this outpouring of funding generates a clear conflict of interest embedded into the political system let us look into an example of the conflict of interest between the industry and the government also known as regulatory capture the British medical journal highlighted the issues of conflicts of interest in the CDC since a major portion of the funding comes from the very industry the CDC is supposed to oversee and the FDA is not much better since nearly 75 percent of its funding also comes from the very industry it is supposed to regulate these are fundamental institutional conflicts of interest no matter how many well-qualified people occupy positions in the CDC and the FDA the very Foundation is infected by this conflict of interest let us now look at the interaction of health and state in the idea that is popularly known as Public Health when regulation oversteps into the dictation of medical requirements we end up with medical mandates by definition a mandate cannot account for an individual situation and therefore every medical requirement put in place by the state comes with collateral damage doctor in all your years as a practicing physician is there ever or has there ever been another medication or procedure that has been voiced upon the public that is claimed to be good for everybody no matter what the circumstance not that I can think of maybe the closest thing would be the influenza vaccine it was never pushed this hard it was always more of an option I'm a little bit more time to think about it discuss risk benefits a little bit Irene was it also difficult to talk to the Physicians on staff there you didn't because of this whole time as well and uh I I heard the horse I've heard what some of my co-workers have said I I heard the Discrimination I I heard one of my co-workers actually say that gosh you know all the people that don't want to get vaccinated they should just die if the government co-ops medical expertise in this way it can seek to control free speech of doctors and we end up with a direct conflict between health and the state we have opened the door to this type of abuse when we allow the state to set medical standards we have seen witnessed in America the attacks on what we call alternative doctors for many many years decades in fact but Physicians were somewhat immune to that they had a leeway to work within their licensure but at this point now we saw the doctors succumbing or at least being threatened with the same kind of treatment interaction of medicine and profit is another source of social toxicity as famed novelist and political activist Upton Sinclair once said sir thank you health and Medicine require the patient to be healed but a patient healed is also a customer lost reducing profits hence there is an innate conflict between the motive of increasing profits and healing patients which no amount of legal or moral gymnastics can overcome my parents didn't know what's going on so I went to my physician and then they got a psychologist and so another psychologist I said look you know I feel short breath I'm anxious I can't sleep my vision's blurry I can't stop shaking and I just barely received my first dose of uh moderna vaccine what is going on and they said well you know so then they talk about whatever happened in Dallas and you know and insisted that the vaccines into that and I was just my bipolar I was a high candidate for bipolar had you ever been diagnosed with bipolar just out of nowhere I was a candidate it sounds like they would do anything but acknowledge that there was a relationship between that first dose and all of these symptoms that newly manifested now how long until the second dose was the time frame well so before the second dose still in my doctor's appointment they tried to put me in a mental hospital saying I was crazy and that you know I tried to institutionalize yeah the thing about you shouldn't lose your vision you shouldn't feel anxious you shouldn't not want to go out places you shouldn't you know cry while you know shopping for for groceries and you know you should be able to go to the bathroom at least once a day taking you know well of course everybody should do those things but a healthy person does those things but not you know not a sick person's not able to do and they knew your medical history didn't include any of these symptoms prior to that shot they just said it was your ADHD acting on causing a bipolar disorder and they just give me 100 milligrams of sleeping pills this conflict was clearly expressed in a CNBC story about a report by Goldman Sachs which asks is curing patients a sustainable business model the report also noted how curing patients reduces the spreading of the disease hitting their all-important bottom line with a systemic conflict of interest like this we would expect chronic disasters and they have sadly occurred for nearly a century let us look at some examples cigarettes which big tobacco openly admitted could cause lung cancer after 45 years of litigation smoking was at one point even recommended by doctors and the ads from the early 20th century show that clearly a second example is pfoa which was used to manufacture Teflon the industry knew early on that this compound was dangerous but once again it took more than 25 years of litigation for that to be admitted in the open and finally radium the famous radioactive material was also touted to be a cure-all for years the girls who handled radium in the factories came down with horrific damages but it took 15 years of struggle for that to finally come to the fore these examples can be multiplied by a hundred and in each case we see the tragic poisonous result of an Institutional conflict of interest any industry that is also in charge of the messaging regarding their product will downplay the dangers millions of lives have been silently lost in this struggle however the profit motive does not disappear by simply utilizing the non-profit status for example in Utah public disclosures of Intermountain Healthcare show that their top 11 employees earned a combined 25 million dollars each year does this look like a non-profit to you there are also other so-called non-profits like Utah Medical Association Hospital Association and other associations would also have strong ties to the industry not one of them urged any caution with regard to the covet vaccine the connection between Physicians and the industry is so strong that even the AMA points to it in a journal article wondering if a gift is ever just a gift and a Wall Street Journal carried an article by doctors concerned about the influence of drug firms on their own profession and associations things have changed tremendously in terms of what you knew to do or thought was a standard of care scenario that had been altered the main thing that changed was that we we were not able to talk about things that could prevent and cure the disease I always thought that we could keep looking outside the box it's really pushed on us that we need to use evidence-based medicine it took me many years to realize there's there can be a little problem with this theory of just using what they're calling evidence-based medicine and yes we need evidence we need to have have treatments that are likely to help we certainly don't want treatments that will hurt people and it's good to have evidence but what you realize this evidence-based medicine idea is really it's coming from a baseline program where you have to have money to test usually it's one thing that you test so here's The Insider's view so Marcia angle said it's it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published or to rely on the Judgment of trusted Physicians or authoritative medical guidelines and again this is the former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine so this is an Insider who spent decades working at evidence-based medicine saying that evidence-based medicine is actually so corrupt as to be useless or harmful this is basically what she's saying and she reached this conclusion only after several decades of being in it pandemics really are times of opportunity and I like George R.R Martin's quote of chaos as a latter I wanted to give you good news you can there are winners out there right so if you're looking at if you ever want to be prepared and make money in the next pandemic if that's what you want to do by stock and hazmat suit makers and protective clothing or companies that make antiviral drugs of that particular pandemic you know probably do pretty well they're actually mutual funds for pandemic preparedness you can bet on anything in this country we have seen how the profit motive affects the medical field in the last three years how did the industry in general affect our personal medical decisions economic persecution was pursued by saying no Jabs no jobs the new wild card is full FDA approval now so now what what do you think what would you urge companies to do what are they going to be able to do and how should they do it companies can now very comfort that's an issue this isn't about civil liberties or individual choices it's about the policies companies need to keep employees and their families safe and this isn't just a Google thing Facebook said yesterday that they're going to mandate vaccines for a return to the office Netflix is mandating vaccination Disney joins a growing list of employers who are mandating vaccines in order to return to work locally in Utah a quick search on indeed.com for jobs shows that the no jab no job policy is still alive and well even as of the fall of 2022 and so they told you if you didn't take the the injection that you would not have a job is that correct that is correct the last time a conflict of interest like this was embedded in the system powers of the state were combined with the powers of the church religion and individual matter was harnessed to the state the resulting institutional poison was called the Inquisition for most of human history religious freedom was not a thing most governments had a state religion and if you didn't believe in it you either prayed very quietly or you burned at the stake very loudly but America's Founders didn't want a country torn apart by religious conflict so when they wrote the Constitution they guaranteed freedom of religion in the First Amendment that's why they put it at the top of the Constitution because of how important they thought it was now this was an incredibly Progressive idea at the time and today we think of it as one of the greatest ideas from that era so part of that religious freedom meant that the government can't force you to do things that your religion forbids you from doing church leaders had complete statutory power with no checks and balances leading to persecutions with millions of lives lost in Europe in the Middle Ages especially in the United States there has been a double overlap between the government and pharmaceutical industry as long as an emergency is declared a bioshield is erected to protect All actors from any liability if you suffer severe side effects after getting the covet vaccine there's basically no one to blame in a U.S court of law take the vaccine makers Health and Human Services secretary Alex Azar invoked the public Readiness and emergency preparedness act in February of 2020 which protects the makers of covid products such as vaccines and treatments from legal action this protection lasts until 2024. essentially in order to encourage companies to get into the space to develop vaccines for the the good of the public for the public health the government comes up with a program which immunizes those companies from liability for any injuries or damages caused by the taking the vaccine that means for the next four years companies like Pfizer and moderna can't be sued for money damages in court over injuries related to the administration or use of products to treat or protect against covid-19 Pfizer and moderna did not return cnbc's request for comment on their legal protections but remember it was the FDA that actually cleared the vaccine for use so does the federal government bear any responsibility you can't sue the FDA for approving or disapproving a drug that's part of its sovereign immunity sovereign immunity traces back to British law before the American Revolution you couldn't sue the king the U.S adopted that same principle there are limited exceptions but legal experts say they don't provide a viable legal path to hold the government responsible for a covid vaccine injury this is the modern equivalent of a double Inquisition as neither the state nor the industry has any liability for medical decisions this was how the covid-19 vaccines came to be and this is why those who are injured by this have no recourse what happens when corporations own your body Republican representative elect Walter Hudson is on record comparing medical professionals who urge people to get vaccinated against covid-19 to slave owners he describes himself as the son of a black father and white mother you know the plantation owner who said I need cotton and you're going to pick it is morally equivalent to the person today who says I don't want to get sick so you have to take the jab so you know Shadow slavery is the most extreme form of slavery but to extent says you shall do this against your will or you may not pursue your happiness as you define it according to your values because of me because of what I need because of what I think I mean you use this language of we are discovering how we ought to proceed in the midst of pandemic it's not we it's specific institutions it's public health authorities which are fundamentally different than the practice of medicine individuals if they did not agree with mandates at the particular time had the option to walk away and do something different a slave never once had that option who works in a health system that is governed by these Public Health authorities that have determined that vaccinations are required and has trained their entire life to be a nurse with no anticipation that this was ever the position that she or he was going to be placed in they can just walk away and do what work at quick trip I mean it goes back to the original chattel slavery comparison that too was Justified on the basis of the supposed greater good as was Jim Crow as was taking Japanese Americans and throwing them in a concentration camp during World War II there's always those are all outrageous those are all outrageous let me tell you let me tell you what what's outrageous the idea that I go into the exam room and I give the doctor my personal history my personal circumstances and then he opens up the door to the exam room and takes a poll of everyone else in the building as to how my medical treatment ought to proceed what public health has done is it's taken me and you and every individual Minnesotan completely out of it and we look at everything in terms of the aggregate we make it we in this sense that eliminates you and there's a long history in this country of people needing to show their papers the mayor then references slavery former president Trump and birtherism during slavery post slavery uh as recent as you know what an immigrant population has to go through here we heard Trump with the birth certificate nonsense here we want to make sure that we are not doing anything that would further create a barrier for residents today the same power is exerted on the population when corporations require the shots especially of health care workers you will undergo a medical procedure as a condition of putting food on the table this has set the legal precedent for medical slavery for the greater good of course from history we know that the religious persecutions in Europe led to a mass Exodus to the new world and in North America the attempt was made to allow for Religious Freedom a lesson well learned from history what are we to do in the case of the worldwide economic persecution of the medical Heretics today so in the way I look at it is they've caused us to stop living to save our lives and I just hate that feeling there is no other place to move to the only option is to give a solution to the social Disease by creating a cure a good example of what is not a solution is the one Utah program Utah has launched a program that further combines medicine Pharma and state together in its one Utah health collaborative in other words upon finding a social disease they have chosen to worsen it Utah's medical industry players such as Select Health corporate players such as Larry H Miller groups associations like the Utah Hospital Association as well as state entities like the Utah Department of Health and the University of Utah are all combining their interests as a response to the pandemic the very worst of conflicts of interest are being institutionalized as we speak and then of course people say okay the vaccine is unsafe and then you you get the the swine flu hoax and uh and uh the vaccine could kill you say no to the vaccine that atmosphere starts and then after the crisis everybody becomes smart yeah and you have to accept that from the from the get-go uh and then the overall statement was no well the government did too much of course because the number of deaths were disappointing to some people and then all the books are written um so what are the real solutions Where Do We Go From Here is there something more that can be done to actually cure the social cancer we have created in the words of Thoreau there are thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root in the first place we should not fall into the Trap appointing towards politics for a solution as we have seen that leaders of both political parties lack basic scientific capacities we must seek ways to undo the conflicts of interest by a clear separation of powers we must ensure healthy checks and balances of these same powers and most importantly we must create Alternatives that are free of these conflicts it is only then that we are actually healing the root problems instead of merely managing them the first step is to tackle the connection between medicine and state this means that All State agencies that take medical decisions must be systematically checked pulled back and dissolved then the conflict of interest between individualized medicine and state laws can be removed separation of medicine and state is crucial to addressing this the idea is not without precedent as Thomas Jefferson said was the government to prescribe us our medicine and diet our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now thus in France the emedic was once forbidden as medicine and the potato as an article of food and in 1916 medical Freedom journals were advocating for the separation of state and Medicine Thomas says pointed out about 50 years ago how we take the alliance between medicine and state for granted just as the Europeans took the alliance between church and state for granted during the General Session 2021 in Utah an education immunization modifications bill was passed HB 233 which basically required that medical exemptions personal exemptions religious exemptions of course are still viable for anybody attending school from grade school to high school to University level education we now look at the interaction between medicine and profit as the profits motivate hospitals it also motivates insurance companies institutional trust in hospitals and insurance is itself toxic due to this conflict of interest take away the promise of the big payday and drug companies say they won't be able to commit as many resources to research and development of course the industry also points a finger at ensures for shifting so much of the cost to patients it argues the pharmacy benefit managers who negotiate prices for health plans they don't pass discounts onto consumers then the insurance industry just points right back at Big Pharma for pricing drugs so high in the first place you get the idea they blame each other meantime spending on prescriptions just Rises it's forecast to grow more than six percent a year through 2026 faster than anything else in healthcare what we need is a system that removes the monetary conflict of interest and creates a separation of medicine and profit in other words a charitable Enterprise that supports both the doctors and patients instead of a blind trust in the Invisible Hand of the market we can note that the profit motive can erode true health care we need a system that is based on broadly sourced charitable funds like we find for the Utah Symphony for the support for churches and temples this also means removing all the power of a corporation from mandating medical treatment and in turn of possible medical slavery your job cannot depend on a jab or any other forced medical treatment the 2022 General Session expanded covid-19 vaccine exemption potential for those who were employees so that employers could not mandate them without exemption so you still have access to religious and personal belief exemptions as well as medical exemptions summary neither the power of money on the one side or the power of the state on the other ought to have a say in the cultivation of Health similar to the Constitution we need an overall separation of powers for medicine that would put the science back into health and remove the social evils of forced treatments this is the task that has been taken up by the health Independence Alliance to build a new system the purpose is to start fresh and create a systemic alternative a parallel charitable Health System called the health Independence Alliance an alternative to the system of hospitals and insurance an alternative to the bias in medical associations an alternative to the silos created by excessive specialization and there's new diseases you have to think how do the cells work what do they need what do they not need and it's really exciting to have options there's lots of options well I didn't get any nutrition in medical school because I tested out of it because I took biochemistry in colors so I didn't get any nutrition and we were schooled however and attach this medicine to this disease through chronic disease I would love to see it today where we can truly be integrative and collaborate with each other and you know based on a patient's resources or you know financially or geographically whatever you know I believe that the Lord has put a lot of good things for us to learn here on the earth and when we get too far down the medical road that puts us into problems sometimes where we lose focus on what I think the Lord intended overall for us and and I I may be going getting into trouble by saying that but I I truly believe that that's my perspective on medicine is is that the body's programmed to heal itself when you give it what it needs regardless of the events and circumstances so we just have to do some Discovery and that anecdotal evidence when it's observed as has been previous stated and then applied can make a world of difference to people the hia brings together the working of different health systems such as allopathy homeopathy naturopathy chiropractors Etc and encourages research and collaboration it is creating a network of independent practitioners that can not only address the vaccine injuries but also treat patients from a much wider perspective how do we move forward from here well the health Independence Alliance is providing some insight may be a new way forward that will really work let's not forget the lessons learned from covid-19 and the vaccination program how about looking for collaboration between modern medicine and natural and holistic healing methods how about really honoring and helping those that need treatment for vaccine injury and other chronic diseases how about setting up a parallel health system for patients and doctors

The documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary (FULL)" critically examines the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine and the controversies surrounding it. The film documents numerous personal accounts of individuals who experienced adverse events after receiving COVID-19 injections. These individuals range from healthcare professionals like Adrian Edwards, a 2021 Miss Utah, who was mandated to get the vaccine for her job in healthcare, despite knowing her body's sensitivity to other vaccinations, to medical technicians, emergency room nurses, and even a board-certified cardiologist who observed unusual patterns in his practice.

The adverse events reported by people in the documentary are varied and severe. Adrian Edwards, for instance, experienced extreme headaches, brain fog, stuttering, severe fatigue, and difficulty breathing and speaking weeks after her second shot, profoundly affecting her participation in a national pageant. Another individual developed a lymph node on their neck that grew to the size of a golf ball, requiring surgical removal, and started losing hair. The documentary also highlights cases of patients, including a young patient in his 50s, who developed rapidly degenerative brain disorder and passed away shortly after a booster shot. Cardiac issues such as acute pericarditis, myocarditis, and heart rhythm problems (PVCs) were observed in young, healthy patients, which a cardiologist identified as likely vaccine side effects. Some individuals experienced chronic fatigue, severe insomnia, a sensation of their brain shaking, and were misdiagnosed with conditions like "long COVID" or bipolar disorder despite never having COVID-19 or a prior mental health diagnosis. Other severe reactions included loss of strength in legs leading to inability to walk, tremors so severe they impacted job performance, erythromyalgia, and kidney-related issues with unusual urine appearance. Tragically, the documentary also mentions deaths, including young college athletes, where a connection to vaccination was observed or suspected. A primary care physician with 32 years of experience noted a vastly increased number of injuries with the COVID vaccine compared to previous vaccines, specifically highlighting effects on reproductive organs due to spike proteins targeting ace receptors.

The documentary contends that the scientific process was flawed from the outset, lacking fundamental safety studies. It states that manufacturers' own disclosures showed no safety pharmacological, genotoxicity, or carcinogenicity studies were conducted. Furthermore, there was no evidence provided by the CDC to support claims that COVID-19 vaccines do not alter or interact with DNA. For vulnerable populations, the FDA fact sheet acknowledged insufficient data to inform vaccine-associated risks for pregnant women and infants, yet hospitals proceeded to recommend them. The rapid development through "Operation Warp Speed" meant a lack of long-term data, and claims that long-term effects were unlikely were deemed baseless. Analysis of vaccine trials indicated that deaths were more common in vaccinated individuals and that serious adverse events occurred at a rate significantly higher than hospitalizations prevented.

A major concern raised is the failure of pharmacovigilance, particularly regarding the VAERS database. Healthcare providers are mandated to report certain adverse events, but many reported not doing so. Shockingly, the CDC, contrary to its promise, conducted no analysis of safety signals from VAERS data, passing responsibility to the FDA, which also refused. When individual citizens obtained data through Freedom of Information Act requests, it revealed damning safety numbers, including high Proportional Reporting Ratios (PRRs) for strokes (31), heart valve issues (33), breakthrough COVID-19 (105), and death (5.86).

The documentary identifies several logical fallacies in the communication surrounding the vaccines. It highlights the appeal to ignorance, where health officials made claims without providing scientific references. There was a noted refusal to look by many healthcare professionals at the potential correlation between new symptoms and vaccination. Circular reasoning was observed in claims that vaccines don't enhance variants because they cannot create them, without supporting data. Appeals to authority and the bandwagon effect were employed, with organizations relying solely on the FDA/CDC and encouraging vaccine selfies. Perhaps most significantly, the documentary points to a lack of falsifiability in the claim that side effects, even severe ones leading to disability or death, are simply a sign the vaccine is "working," effectively making it impossible to scientifically disprove vaccine safety. Lack of transparency was also a critical issue, with the FDA attempting to delay the release of Pfizer's vaccine trial data for 55 years and redacting crucial information from released documents.

The narrative suggests a shift from science to belief and marketing. Religious leaders, including Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama, publicly endorsed vaccination, framing it as a "moral good" or "godsend". The issue also became highly politicized, with political leaders from both parties influencing public perception and acceptance. The "95% effective" claim was deemed a marketing ploy, as the real risk reduction was significantly lower, with one analysis showing that 141 people needed to be vaccinated to prevent one COVID case for Pfizer. Local health departments utilized sophisticated marketing techniques, including surveys to identify words, phrases, and influential community figures like Angela Dunn and Russell Nelson, to craft messaging to increase vaccine acceptance.

The documentary attributes these issues to deep-seated conflicts of interest within the medical system. It details strong financial ties between the pharmaceutical industry and legislators through lobbying efforts. The CDC and FDA suffer from regulatory capture, as a significant portion of their funding comes from the very industry they are supposed to regulate. The concept of public health overstepping into dictation of medical requirements led to mandates that disregarded individual circumstances. The profit motive of medicine is highlighted as an innate conflict, where healing patients reduces future profits, as evidenced by a Goldman Sachs report questioning if "curing patients is a sustainable business model". The system of "evidence-based medicine" itself is critiqued as being corrupted by the need for funding to conduct tests. This led to economic persecution through "no jab no job" policies, forcing individuals to choose between their livelihood and medical treatment.

A critical outcome of these conflicts is the lack of liability for vaccine makers and the government. The PREP Act protects companies like Pfizer and Moderna from legal action for injuries related to COVID-19 products until 2024, and sovereign immunity protects the FDA from lawsuits. This situation is compared to "medical slavery," where corporations mandate medical procedures as a condition of employment, often justified by the "greater good," reminiscent of historical injustices like chattel slavery or Jim Crow laws.

To address these systemic issues, the documentary proposes several solutions. It advocates for a clear separation of powers by tackling the connection between medicine and the state, systematically checking, pulling back, and dissolving state agencies that make medical decisions. Similarly, it calls for a separation of medicine and profit, suggesting a charitable enterprise model, supported by broadly sourced funds, that supports both doctors and patients, free from the profit motive. This also means removing the power of corporations to mandate medical treatment, ensuring that jobs do not depend on medical procedures. The Health Independence Alliance (HIA) is introduced as a systemic alternative, aiming to build a parallel charitable health system that integrates different health systems like allopathy, homeopathy, and naturopathy, encourages research and collaboration, and supports a network of independent practitioners.

The documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective?" investigates the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines by presenting numerous personal testimonies of individuals, including healthcare professionals, who claim to have experienced severe adverse events after vaccination. It critiques the scientific process behind vaccine development and approval, highlighting alleged shortcomings in safety studies, data analysis, and transparency. The film also examines the influence of political, religious, and economic interests on public health messaging and mandates, arguing that these conflicts of interest have undermined scientific integrity and individual medical autonomy. Ultimately, it advocates for a separation of medicine from state and profit to foster a more independent and ethical healthcare system, exemplified by the proposed Health Independence Alliance.

Utah: Vaccine Safety, Efficacy, and Mandates

1 source

The YouTube documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective?" examines the controversy surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine's safety and effectiveness, particularly within Utah. It features personal testimonials from individuals, including healthcare workers and former public figures, who report experiencing adverse events after receiving the vaccine, often citing mandates as the reason for their vaccination. The video also questions the scientific processes behind vaccine development, alleging lacking safety studies, biased data analysis, and a failure of regulatory agencies like the CDC and FDA to properly monitor adverse reactions. Furthermore, it critiques the influence of pharmaceutical companies, political leaders, and media messaging, suggesting that these factors contributed to unscientific practices and conflicts of interest within the healthcare system, ultimately advocating for a "Health Independence Alliance" as an alternative to the current medical paradigm.

Discuss Vaccine Safety Concerns.

The documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective?" investigates the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine, highlighting various concerns through individual testimonies, expert opinions, and critiques of the scientific and regulatory processes1.

Lack of Safety Studies and Data A primary concern raised is the absence of crucial safety studies for mRNA technology vaccines:

• No safety pharmacological studies were conducted by manufacturers2.

• There were no genotoxicity studies to check for toxicity due to genetic material and no carcinogenicity studies to assess potential cancer-causing effects2.

• A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request revealed that the CDC had no records to support that COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with DNA2.

• Data were insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks for pregnant women, and data were not available to assess safety for infants3.

• The accelerated development through "Operation Warp Speed" meant that the vaccines lacked long-term data spanning many years to monitor side effects, with claims that long-term effects were unlikely being described as baseless34.

Reported Adverse Events from Individuals The documentary features numerous individuals who reported experiencing severe adverse events after receiving COVID-19 injections:

• Adrian Edwards, Miss Utah 2021, was mandated to get the vaccine for her healthcare job despite a sensitive system prone to adverse reactions from other shots15. After her second dose, she experienced extreme headaches (9/10 pain scale), immediate brain fog, stuttering, severe fatigue, difficulty breathing and speaking (winded), and neurological issues, including memory loss on stage during a national pageant67. She also developed a lymph node that grew to the size of a golf ball (with a doctor suggesting lymphatic cancer was possible), lost hair, and experienced Bell's Palsy after her first dose78.

• An ER nurse, Irene Ricks, who was told the vaccine was their "saving grace," started experiencing heart palpitations and passed out at work, leading to an ER visit79. She also developed a limp, a golf-ball-sized lymph node, and hair loss7. After her second shot, she felt anxious and experienced irregular heartbeats (PVCs) so severe that she had her manager sign advanced directives, believing she might die810.

• A medical technician with underlying autoimmune conditions reported her pre-existing autoimmune symptoms worsened, and she developed 40 new symptoms, including tremors and erythromyalgia, within two months, leading her to quit her job11.

• Peyton, a 20-year-old who got two injections for an LDS mission, suffered from extreme fatigue (sleeping 14 hours a day), blurry vision, stomach pain, constipation, shortness of breath, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable shaking and chills (even in hot weather)9.... She experienced inability to walk or go downstairs, pale skin, greasy hair, fingernail loss, swollen ankles, and severe, painful urinary tract issues with metallic-smelling, graphite-like urine, which a urologist said looked like "metal toxicity"1213.

• An Emergency Medical Services (EMS) worker, Margo, who volunteered for the vaccine, later developed severe fatigue, insomnia, and a sensation that her brain was shaking1415. She was diagnosed with "long COVID" by a neurologist, despite having tested negative for COVID-19 multiple times15.

• Healthcare professionals also shared observations:

    ◦ A cardiologist noted an unusual increase in acute pericarditis and "subtle myocarditis" (chest pain, shortness of breath, heart rhythm issues) in young, healthy patients, including college athletes and ultra-distance runners1617. He reported seeing "long-haul" symptoms and recurrent infections more frequently in vaccinated individuals15.

    ◦ A home health care nurse, Melissa, observed patients developing rapidly degenerative brain disorder, memory issues, weakness, and speech problems after booster shots, leading to rapid decline and death16.

    ◦ A primary care physician of 32 years stated there were "vastly increased" injuries compared to other vaccines, describing symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, continuous inflammation of blood vessel walls, hypercoagulability, and dramatically decreased fertility10.

Criticisms of Regulatory Oversight and the Scientific Process The documentary argues that the scientific process for COVID-19 vaccines was fundamentally flawed, leading to a "pseudoscientific belief" system rather than data-driven conclusions18:

• Failure of Pharmacovigilance: Despite the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) designed as an early warning system, many healthcare providers reportedly did not file VAERS reports, leaving individuals to report their own adverse events1920.

• Lack of Data Analysis: FOIA requests revealed that the CDC failed to conduct promised safety signal analyses on VAERS data and passed responsibility to the FDA, which also refused20. Independent analysis of FOIA-obtained data showed alarming Proportional Reporting Ratios (PRR) for strokes (31), heart valve issues (33), breakthrough COVID-19 (105), and death (5.86)20.

• Logical Fallacies: The documentary asserts that scientific integrity was undermined by:

    ◦ Appeal to Ignorance: Health officials making claims (e.g., vaccines don't modify genetic code) without providing scientific references or having looked at the data21.

    ◦ Refusal to Look: Doctors sometimes dismissed or refused to investigate potential links between patient symptoms and the vaccine20....

    ◦ Circular Reasoning: The CDC claimed vaccines didn't enhance variants because they don't create them, without providing supporting records22.

    ◦ Appeal to Authority and Bandwagon Effects: Academic institutions and medical organizations promoted vaccines based on FDA/CDC authority rather than independent analysis22.

    ◦ Lack of Falsifiability: The pervasive claim that side effects indicate "the vaccine is working" was criticized for creating a situation where vaccine harm could not be disproven, even in cases of severe adverse events, disability, or death23.

• Lack of Transparency: The FDA initially sought 55 years to release Pfizer's vaccine trial data, and even the eventually released data contained redactions of "critical information"24.

Ethical and Societal Concerns The documentary also highlights ethical and societal issues contributing to vaccine safety concerns:

• Mandates and Coercion: Many individuals, particularly healthcare workers, reported being mandated to receive the vaccine to keep their jobs, feeling they had no choice1.... This "no jab, no job" policy was described as a form of "economic persecution" or "medical slavery"25....

• Lack of Informed Consent: Some individuals reported not being given paperwork to read about risks before vaccination, or that pharmacists were unwilling to discuss risks when asked2428.

• Conflicts of Interest: The system is described as having "conflicts of interest embedded in the system"18. Pharmaceutical lobbying influences legislatures, and a significant portion of the funding for the CDC and FDA comes from the very industry they are supposed to regulate, leading to "regulatory capture"18.

• Liability Protection: The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act protected vaccine manufacturers and the government from liability for injuries or damages caused by COVID-19 products until 2024, meaning individuals injured by vaccines had "no recourse" in a U.S. court of law2629.

• Politicization and Marketing: The messaging surrounding vaccines was heavily politicized and influenced by marketing techniques, including using "influencers" and carefully chosen phrases to promote uptake, rather than purely scientific communication30....

• Profit Motive in Healthcare: The documentary argues that the profit motive inherently conflicts with healing patients, citing a Goldman Sachs report asking if "curing patients is a sustainable business model"34....

Ultimately, the source suggests that these systemic issues, including flaws in the scientific process, lack of transparency, conflicts of interest, and mandates, contributed to the widespread safety concerns surrounding COVID-19 vaccines18. It advocates for a separation of medicine and state/profit, along with the creation of alternative, charitable health systems to address these root problems37....

Discuss Adverse Event Experiences.

The YouTube documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective?" investigates the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, highlighting controversies and adverse events experienced by individuals, including healthcare professionals1. The documentary aims to bring awareness to people who have experienced adverse events, ranging from mild to very severe, after receiving COVID-19 injections1.

Diverse Experiences with Adverse Events:

Many individuals from various backgrounds reported suffering adverse events after vaccination, often under mandates or with the belief that it would help end the pandemic1....

• Healthcare Professionals:

    ◦ Adrian Edwards, Miss Utah 2021, liaison in healthcare: Mandated to get the vaccine to keep working, despite knowing her body was sensitive and prone to reactions from flu and pneumonia shots12.

    ◦ Nicholas, lab setting related to COVID tests: Required to take the vaccines to continue his job2.

    ◦ Melissa, home healthcare nurse: Observed patterns of illnesses and unusual events in patients during the pandemic2.

    ◦ Medical technician at a surgical center: Eager to get the shot, believing it would stop the spread and preserve her health due to underlying autoimmune conditions3.

    ◦ Board-certified cardiologist: Expressed early concerns about original studies lacking sufficient safety data and started seeing unusual cardiac events in his practice35.

    ◦ Margo, Emergency Medical Services support: Volunteered for the vaccine, hoping to end the pandemic3.

    ◦ Irene Ricks, ER nurse: Took the shot because the media made COVID-19 seem "so scary" and thought it was a "saving grace"4.

    ◦ Primary Care Physician (32 years experience): Observed a "vastly increased" number of injuries with this vaccine compared to others, noting different symptom patterns6.

    ◦ Neural nurse (recalled Bell's Palsy): Experienced facial numbness and asymmetry after her first Pfizer vaccine7.

    ◦ ER nurse (experiencing heart issues): Noticed anxiety and heart palpitations, with EKGs showing irregular beats (PVCs) so severe she had her manager sign advanced directives, believing she might die67.

• Athletes:

    ◦ Fred Roberts, former NBA basketball player: Joined a group discussing vaccine issues and noted seeing more hard events in young players now than in his playing career48.

    ◦ College and high school players, ultra-distance runners: Experienced chronic chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and fatigue, preventing them from competing8. A 20-year-old basketball player, Derek Gray, passed away unexpectedly8.

• Young People:

    ◦ Peyton, 20 years old: Received two injections as a requirement for her two-year LDS mission, a lifelong goal49.

• Laypersons: Many stories are happening in silence, while some are willing to share their journeys publicly1. An elderly patient moved to assisted living after losing leg strength post-vaccination and died eight months later5. A 50-year-old patient developed rapidly degenerative brain disorder and died within months of his booster shot5. A husband became non-responsive within three days of his booster shot and passed away within a week10.

Specific Symptoms and Conditions Reported:

Individuals reported a wide array of new or worsened symptoms:

• Neurological:

    ◦ Severe headaches, brain fog, stuttering, difficulty speaking, memory troubles, and overall neurological impact1112.

    ◦ A "rapidly degenerative brain disorder" was diagnosed in a 50-year-old patient5.

    ◦ A sensation of the brain shaking and severe insomnia13.

    ◦ Bell's Palsy-like symptoms (facial numbness and asymmetry)7.

    ◦ Vision loss, strokes, severe muscle weakness1415.

• Cardiovascular and Circulatory:

    ◦ Heart palpitations, passing out, acute pericarditis, myocarditis, chest pain, shortness of breath, and irregular heart rhythms (PVCs)5....

    ◦ A patient developed sudden heart failure requiring surgery16.

    ◦ A physician observed hypercoagulability and continually inflamed blood vessel walls6.

• General Systemic Issues:

    ◦ Severe fatigue (sleeping 14 hours a day, zero energy at a pageant)11....

    ◦ Difficulty breathing12.

    ◦ Loss of strength in legs5.

    ◦ Tremors so severe they prevented an individual from performing their job and wearing shoes (due to erythromyalgia)17.

    ◦ Lymph node growth (to the size of a golf ball, requiring dissection) and hair loss12.

    ◦ Weight loss (four pounds in a month)17.

    ◦ Digestive problems including stomach pain, constipation, throwing up, and bloating918.

    ◦ Chills and hypothermia-like symptoms in warm weather18.

    ◦ Swollen ankles9.

    ◦ Urinary tract difficulties with painful urination and metallic-smelling urine containing graphite-like particles9.

• Worsening Pre-existing Conditions: Some individuals experienced a worsening of pre-existing autoimmune conditions17.

• Mental Health: Anxiety and being misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder despite no prior history, and being offered sleeping pills instead of investigating physical symptoms1819. One person reached a point of suicidal ideation due to the overwhelming symptoms7.

Challenges in Acknowledging and Treating Adverse Events:

• Medical Community Denial: Many doctors reportedly refused to acknowledge a correlation between symptoms and the vaccine, often attributing them to anxiety or other conditions, even in the absence of prior medical history16.... One neurologist even diagnosed "long COVID" in a patient who had never had COVID-1913.

• Refusal to Report to VAERS: Patients reported that their doctors would not submit VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) reports, forcing individuals to report their own events16. The CDC itself reportedly did no analysis of safety signals from VAERS data16.

• "Side Effects are a Sign the Vaccine is Working": This claim was widely propagated, even for severe adverse events, disability, and death, without scientific qualification or analysis of reported side effects20.

• Lack of Scientific Studies: No safety pharmacological studies, genotoxicity studies, carcinogenicity studies, or sufficient data on effects on pregnant women or infants were conducted before the vaccine rollout2122.

• Misinformation from Health Officials: Utah health officials, for example, claimed vaccines do not modify genetic code without providing references14.

The experiences detailed in the documentary highlight profound personal suffering and a systemic failure to acknowledge, study, and address severe adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination1....

Discuss Scientific Process Flaws.

The provided sources highlight several critical flaws in the scientific process observed during the development and rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, moving away from a rigorous scientific approach towards what is described as a "pseudoscientific belief"1.

The source defines a proper scientific process as involving:

• Selecting the right relationships to study without bias2.

• Studying all data comprehensively, avoiding cherry-picking or bias2.

• Utilizing logical and sound reasoning to avoid fallacies2.

• Publicly and transparently sharing all details of the study2.

However, the process for COVID-19 vaccines, as described in the sources, deviated significantly from these principles:

1. Failure to Select the Right Relationships to Study

According to the source, the initial stages of vaccine development systematically excluded crucial safety studies23:

• No safety pharmacological studies were conducted according to the manufacturers' own disclosures2.

• No genotoxicity studies were planned to check for toxicity due to genetic material introduced by mRNA technology2.

• No carcinogenicity studies were conducted to assess potential cancer-causing effects2.

• A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in early 2022 found that the CDC had no records to support that COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with DNA2.

• The FDA fact sheet stated insufficient data for pregnant women regarding vaccine-associated risks4.

• No data was available to assess safety for infants4.

• Hospitals recommended vaccines for pregnant and breastfeeding women without professional due diligence, directly contrasting manufacturers' own documents4.

• The rapid development through Operation Warp Speed meant a lack of long-term data spanning many years to monitor side effects3.... The Utah Department of Health's claim that long-term effects are unlikely after six weeks is called a "baseless claim"4.

2. Failure to Study All Data Without Bias

The sources argue that data collection and analysis were incomplete or biased:

• Published results in the New England Journal of Medicine focused only on preventing COVID-19 cases, not on the overall outcome, which reportedly showed more deaths in the vaccinated group than the unvaccinated3.

• A study of the trials highlighted that for every two COVID-19 hospitalizations prevented, 10 serious vaccine adverse events occurred, suggesting the trials themselves showed evidence of harm3.

• The VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), an "early warning system" for potential safety issues, faced significant shortcomings3:

    ◦ Many physicians reportedly did not report adverse events despite being required to do so36.

    ◦ Individuals often had to report their own adverse events because doctors would not6.

    ◦ The CDC, contrary to its promise, conducted no analysis of safety signals (PRR analysis) from VAERS data, passing responsibility to the FDA, which also refused to provide analysis6.

    ◦ When citizens obtained PRR data, it showed damning safety numbers, including a PRR of approximately 31 for strokes, 33 for heart valve issues, 105 for breakthrough COVID-19, and 5.86 for death, indicating these events were enhanced by the vaccines compared to other vaccines67.

3. Lack of Logical and Sound Reasoning

The sources identify several logical fallacies in the public discourse and institutional practices surrounding the vaccines2:

• Appeal to Ignorance Fallacy: Claims were made that "there is no evidence because we have not looked"7. Examples include:

    ◦ The Utah State epidemiologist stating vaccines don't modify genetic code without providing references7.

    ◦ Nurses initially failing to look at vaccination status when observing an uptick in neurological problems, strokes, severe muscle weakness, and vision loss in patients78.

• Circular Reasoning: The CDC argued that records to support vaccines not enhancing virus variants did not exist because vaccines do not create or cause variants8.

• Appeal to Authority and Bandwagon Fallacies: Medical organizations and academic institutions simply depended on the FDA and CDC for safety monitoring (which was not done) and actively promoted practices like "vaccine selfies" to create a bandwagon effect89.

• Lack of Falsifiability: The claim that "side effects are a sign the vaccine is working" was presented without qualification, making it impossible to disprove the vaccine's safety. This allowed for severe adverse events, disability, and death to be potentially framed as signs of efficacy, or for data showing harm to be dismissed as "not finalized yet"910.

4. Lack of Transparency

Transparency, a fundamental property of sharing research results, was reportedly undermined210:

• FDA wanted 55 years to share data from Pfizer's vaccine trials, which was deemed an "excessive delay" and "tantamount to denial of information" by a court10.

• Even released data from the FDA contained redactions of critical information, such as details about RNA transcription in the body related to the vaccine10.

In summary, the sources contend that the scientific process was fundamentally flawed due to a systematic exclusion of safety studies, biased data interpretation, reliance on logical fallacies, and a lack of transparency, leading to a situation where medical decisions were driven by belief and marketing rather than robust scientific evidence1....

Discuss Conflicts of Interest.

The documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective?" argues that conflicts of interest are deeply embedded within the system of medicine and healthcare, surfacing significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. These conflicts are identified at multiple levels, including the interaction between the medical industry and the state, health and the state, and medicine and profit1.

Here's a breakdown of the discussed conflicts of interest:

• Medical Industry and the State (Regulatory Capture and Lobbying)

    ◦ Financial Ties to Legislatures: The pharmaceutical industry maintains strong financial ties to local and federal legislatures through extensive lobbying, which accelerated in early 2020. This lobbying generates a clear conflict of interest within the political system1.

    ◦ Regulatory Capture: Organizations like the CDC and FDA, which are supposed to oversee the industry, receive a major portion of their funding directly from the very industry they regulate1. For instance, nearly 75% of the FDA's funding comes from the industry, leading to fundamental institutional conflicts of interest1.

• Health and the State (Medical Mandates and Control of Speech)

    ◦ Medical Mandates and Collateral Damage: When state regulation dictates medical requirements, it results in medical mandates that cannot account for individual situations, causing "collateral damage"2. A physician with 32 years of experience noted that no other medication or procedure had been pushed upon the public as forcefully as the COVID-19 vaccine2.

    ◦ Control of Free Speech: The government's co-option of medical expertise can lead to the control of doctors' free speech, with physicians being threatened for their views2. This has been observed in attacks on "alternative doctors" for decades, but during the pandemic, mainstream physicians also faced similar threats2.

    ◦ Ignoring Individual Circumstances: Public health authorities are accused of taking individuals "completely out of it" by looking at health solely in terms of aggregate data, rather than individual circumstances and values, leading to policies that may contradict personal medical decisions3.

• Medicine and Profit

    ◦ Innate Conflict: There is an inherent conflict between the motive of increasing profits and the goal of healing patients, as a "patient healed is also a customer lost," thereby reducing profits2.

    ◦ "Is Curing Patients a Sustainable Business Model?": A CNBC story highlighted a Goldman Sachs report that questioned whether curing patients is a sustainable business model, noting that curing diseases reduces their spread, impacting the bottom line4.

    ◦ Non-Profit Status: The concept of "non-profit" organizations in healthcare is challenged, with examples like Intermountain Healthcare's top 11 employees earning a combined $25 million annually5. It's noted that such "non-profits," including medical associations, did not urge caution regarding the COVID vaccine5.

    ◦ Influence on Physicians: The strong connection between physicians and the industry is acknowledged, with articles from the AMA and Wall Street Journal raising concerns about the influence of drug firms on the profession and medical associations5. The very concept of "evidence-based medicine" is critiqued by a former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine as being "so corrupt as to be useless or harmful" due to the money required for testing6.

    ◦ Economic Persecution ("No Jabs, No Jobs"): The profit motive led to economic persecution, where employment was conditioned on receiving vaccinations, a policy still active as of fall 20226.

    ◦ Lack of Liability: The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, invoked in February 2020, protects vaccine manufacturers from legal action for injuries or damages until 2024, essentially immunizing companies from liability7. Furthermore, the FDA is protected by sovereign immunity, meaning it cannot be sued for approving or disapproving drugs8. This is termed a "double inquisition" as neither the state nor the industry bears liability, leaving injured individuals without recourse8.

    ◦ Historical Precedents: The documentary points to historical examples like cigarettes, PFOA (Teflon), and Radium, where industries knew about dangers but downplayed them for decades until litigation forced admissions, illustrating the "tragic poisonous result of an institutional conflict of interest"45.

The documentary suggests that these institutionalized conflicts of interest led to a scientific process that was flawed, promoting "pseudoscience" and reliance on authority (religious, political, industrial)1. The "One Utah" program, which further combines medicine, pharma, and the state, is presented as an example of worsening this social disease9.

Proposed Solutions: To address these issues, the documentary advocates for undoing conflicts of interest through a clear separation of powers and creating alternatives free from these conflicts9.

• Separation of Medicine and State: This would involve systematically checking, pulling back, and dissolving state agencies that make medical decisions to remove conflicts between individualized medicine and state laws, drawing a parallel to Thomas Jefferson's views on government prescribing medicine and diet910.

• Separation of Medicine and Profit: This calls for a system based on "broadly sourced charitable funds" to support doctors and patients, rather than relying on the market's profit motive10. It also demands the removal of corporate power to mandate medical treatment, ensuring that employment ("your job") does not depend on a medical procedure ("a jab")1011.

The Health Independence Alliance (HIA) is proposed as a new system to build an alternative, charitable health system, free from these conflicts, promoting collaboration between different health systems and supporting independent practitioners1112.

Discuss Medical Freedom.

The documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective?" extensively discusses the concept of medical freedom by highlighting concerns about mandatory medical interventions and the lack of individual choice, especially concerning COVID-19 vaccines.

Key aspects related to medical freedom include:

• Mandates and Coercion:

    ◦ Individuals, including healthcare professionals, reported being mandated to receive COVID-19 injections to keep their jobs1.... This left them feeling they "didn't have a choice"2.

    ◦ The "no jab no job" policy was prevalent, with companies like Google, Facebook, Netflix, and Disney mandating vaccines for a return to the office3. Locally in Utah, this policy was still active as of fall 20223.

    ◦ The idea that "companies need to keep employees and their families safe" was used to justify policies that limited individual choices3.

• Erosion of Individual Rights and Bodily Autonomy:

    ◦ The imposition of medical requirements by the state, by definition, "cannot account for an individual situation and therefore every medical requirement put in place by the state comes with collateral damage"4.

    ◦ A physician with 32 years of experience stated that no other medication or procedure in his career had been "voiced upon the public that is claimed to be good for everybody no matter what the circumstance" to the same extent as the COVID-19 vaccine4.

    ◦ Republican Representative-elect Walter Hudson compared medical professionals urging vaccination to "plantation owner[s]" and "slave owners," arguing that forcing someone to take a jab against their will to pursue happiness or livelihood is morally equivalent to slavery5. This is framed as individuals being subjected to medical procedures as a condition of "putting food on the table," setting a legal precedent for "medical slavery for the greater good"6.

    ◦ The documentary also draws parallels to historical instances of "showing papers" requirements and the internment of Japanese Americans, arguing that these actions were justified on the basis of a "supposed greater good"6.

• Lack of Recourse for the Injured:

    ◦ The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act invoked by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar in February 2020 protected makers of COVID-19 products, including vaccines, from legal action until 20247. This means companies like Pfizer and Moderna "can't be sued for money damages in court over injuries"7.

    ◦ The FDA is also protected by sovereign immunity, meaning it cannot be sued for approving or disapproving a drug, leaving individuals with "no viable legal path to hold the government responsible for a covid vaccine injury"5. This combination is described as a "modern equivalent of a double Inquisition," where neither the state nor the industry has liability, leaving those injured with "no recourse"5.

• Proposals for Restoring Medical Freedom:

    ◦ Separation of Medicine and State: This is identified as a crucial step to address the root problems8. The call is to "systematically check, pulled back and dissolved" all state agencies that make medical decisions to remove the conflict between individualized medicine and state laws8. Thomas Jefferson's quote, "was the government to prescribe us our medicine and diet our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now," is cited to support this idea8. Medical freedom journals advocating for this separation are noted from 19169.

    ◦ Religious and Personal Belief Exemptions: Utah has passed legislation, such as HB 233 in 2021 and an expansion in the 2022 General Session, to ensure that medical, personal, and religious exemptions for vaccines are viable for students and employees910. This aims to prevent situations where a person's "job cannot depend on a jab or any other forced medical treatment"10.

    ◦ Separation of Medicine and Profit: The profit motive is seen as a source of "social toxicity" and an innate conflict with healing patients49. A proposed solution is a system that removes monetary conflict of interest, creating a "charitable Enterprise that supports both the doctors and patients"9.

    ◦ Health Independence Alliance (HIA): This organization is presented as an effort to build a "new system," a "parallel charitable Health System" free of conflicts of interest. It aims to create a network of independent practitioners who can address vaccine injuries and treat patients from a wider perspective, including modern medicine and natural/holistic healing methods1011.

Understanding "Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary"

This study guide is designed to help you review and deepen your understanding of the documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary (FULL)." The documentary critically examines the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, highlighting personal experiences, scientific claims, and systemic issues within the healthcare and governmental landscape.

I. Detailed Study Guide

A. Documentary's Core Premise and Aims

• Central Question: Does the COVID-19 vaccine truly live up to its claims of being "safe and effective"?

• Methodology: Interviews with individuals experiencing adverse events (including doctors and nurses), examination of Utah law and legislation, discussion of peer-reviewed studies, and encouragement of critical thinking.

• Goal: To raise awareness about adverse events, document personal stories, and identify commonalities in experiences.

B. Personal Testimonies and Adverse Events

• Mandatory Vaccination Experiences:Adrian (Miss Utah 2021): Healthcare liaison; mandated vaccine despite history of adverse reactions to other shots (flu, pneumonia); experienced severe fatigue, difficulty breathing, speech issues, neurological effects (brain fog, stuttering, memory loss) after the second shot, affecting pageant performance.

• Nicholas: Lab setting worker (PCR tests); required to take vaccine to keep job.

• Melissa (Home Healthcare Nurse): Witnessed lockdown effects on elderly; took care of COVID-positive patients before vaccine; observed patterns of illness.

• Medical Technician (Surgical Center): Eager to get vaccine to stop spread and protect health due to autoimmune conditions; first in organization to get it; pre-existing autoimmune conditions worsened, developed tremors, erythromyalgia (unable to wear shoes), and 40 new symptoms, leading to job loss.

• ER Nurse (Irene Ricks): Mandated to get shot due to media fear-mongering and belief it was a "saving grace"; experienced numbness in face (Bell's Palsy-like symptoms) after first Pfizer shot.

• Peyton (20 years old): Required for LDS mission; experienced extreme fatigue, difficulty eating, sleeping 14 hours/day, blurry vision, stomach pain, constipation, shortness of breath, anxiety after first shot; second shot led to continuous throwing up, chills (even in 100-degree weather), inability to walk upstairs, pale complexion, greasy hair, nail issues, swollen ankles, and severe urinary tract pain with unusual urine (like "pencil graphite" and metallic smell).

• Healthcare Professionals' Observations:Board-Certified Cardiologist: Early concerns about original studies' safety data and initial trial outcomes; observed acute pericarditis and "subtle myocarditis" (chest pain, shortness of breath, heart rhythm issues) in young, healthy patients, noting a change after vaccination; contrasted experiences with long-COVID in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated.

• Medical Technician: Sudden heart failure in a patient needing surgery; surgeons initially denied connection to vaccine despite timeline fit.

• RN: Patient in his 50s, active, healthy, developed rapidly degenerative brain disorder within a week of booster, died before Christmas.

• Home Health Nurse: Patient lost strength in legs, moved to assisted living, passed away eight months later.

• RN with heart issues: Developed palpitations, felt like passing out, diagnosed with irregular beats (PVCs) after second shot; felt so ill they had manager sign advanced directives.

• Primary Care Physician (32 years experience): Vastly increased injuries with COVID vaccine compared to others; symptoms similar to COVID but less respiratory, more fatigue, shortness of breath; described "immortalized monocytes" causing continual muscle activation, inflammation of blood vessel walls, hypercoagulability; observed dramatically decreased fertility.

• Athletes' Experiences:Fred Roberts (Former NBA Player): Contacted by former teammate about a group discussing adverse events; observations of student mask-wearing impact; noted increased cardiac events in young athletes (college, high school) and even deaths (e.g., Derek Gray, 20-year-old basketball player).

• College Athlete/Ultra-distance Runner: Chronic chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, fatigue, preventing competition; surprising in highly fit individuals.

• Symptoms Reported: Headaches (severe, unbearable), brain fog, stuttering, word fillers, severe fatigue, difficulty breathing, being winded, memory loss, brain shaking sensation, insomnia, anxiety, heart palpitations, passing out, irregular heartbeats (PVCs), swollen lymph nodes (leading to cancer suspicion), hair loss, weakness (leading to inability to walk), rapidly degenerative brain disorder, acute pericarditis, myocarditis, chest pain, shortness of breath, decreased fertility, tremors, erythromyalgia, blurry vision, stomach pain, constipation, vomiting, chills, swollen ankles, severe urinary tract pain, metallic-smelling urine.

• Medical Gaslighting/Lack of Acknowledgment: Doctors denying vaccine-related symptoms, attributing them to anxiety, asymptomatic COVID, ADHD acting on bipolar disorder; refusal to submit VAERS reports; attempts to institutionalize patient (Peyton) for reporting symptoms.

C. Scientific Process and its Flaws

• Baseline for Proper Scientific Study:Selection of Relationships: Must consider all relevant factors (e.g., safety, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, effects on pregnant women, infants).

• Observation of Data: Study all data without bias or "cherry-picking."

• Logical Reasoning: Avoid logical fallacies.

• Transparency: Share all details publicly.

• Failure in COVID-19 Vaccine Development:Ignored Safety Studies: Manufacturers' disclosures show no safety, pharmacological, genotoxicity, or carcinogenicity studies conducted.

• DNA Interaction: CDC had no records to support claims that vaccines don't change or interact with DNA.

• Vulnerable Populations: Insufficient data for pregnant women and infants.

• Long-Term Effects: Operation Warp Speed lacked long-term data; Utah Department of Health's claim that only first six weeks are important is called baseless.

• Clinical Trial Data: New England Journal of Medicine focused on infection rates, not overall results; trials showed more deaths in vaccinated group and 10 serious adverse events for every 2 hospitalizations prevented.

• Pharmacovigilance (VAERS):Purpose: Early warning system for potential safety issues.

• Reporting Issues: Healthcare providers often refused to report adverse events, forcing individuals to self-report.

• CDC's Failure: CDC promised PRR analysis of VAERS data but did no analysis, passing responsibility to FDA, which also refused.

• Citizen-Initiated FOIA: Revealed damning PRR data (e.g., strokes 31, heart valve issues 33, breakthrough COVID 105, death 5.86), indicating enhanced side effects compared to other vaccines.

• Logical Fallacies Identified:Appeal to Ignorance: Claiming no evidence because it hasn't been looked for (e.g., Utah State Epidemiologist claiming vaccines don't modify genetic code without references; medical professionals refusing to look at patient records for vaccine correlation). Analogy to Galileo's peers refusing to look through telescope.

• Circular Reasoning: Claiming records don't exist because the effect cannot exist (e.g., CDC claiming no records for enhanced variants because vaccines don't cause them).

• Appeal to Authority: Relying solely on FDA/CDC without independent analysis (e.g., AMA, academic institutions).

• Bandwagon Effect: Encouraging vaccine selfies to create social pressure (e.g., University of Kansas).

• Lack of Falsifiability: Statements that cannot be disproved (e.g., "side effects mean the vaccine is working," even for severe events, disability, or death; "science is settled until it's not," allowing for refusal to analyze data or claim data is not finalized).

• Transparency Issues:FDA sought 55 years to release Pfizer's trial data; released data contained redactions (e.g., RNA transcription details).

• Court order emphasized legal and scientific value of timely transparency.

D. Pseudoscientific Belief and Influence

• Shift from Science to Belief: When scientific rigor is absent, arguments default to belief.

• Religious Endorsements: Pope Francis, Dalai Lama, LDS Church leaders, Jewish and Muslim scholars endorsing vaccines as moral good or "godsend," despite lack of scientific justification from their end.

• Politicization of Medicine:Political Leaders: Trump initiated Warp Speed; Biden continued deployment and mandated; both sides used rhetoric to influence public opinion, leading to politicized views on vaccine acceptance.

• Media Messaging: "One voice, one message" strategy (from 2009 pandemic lessons) used to promote high effectiveness (95%) as a marketing ploy, despite real risk reduction being much lower (e.g., 1% for Pfizer).

• Targeted Marketing: Intermountain and Envision Utah used surveys to identify positive phrases and trusted figures (Angela Dunn, Mark Harrison, Russell Nelson) to influence Utahns towards vaccination.

• Company Trustworthiness:Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca: History of billions in fines for healthcare fraud, safety offenses, and government contract violations.

• Question: Entrusting healthcare to companies with high criminal fines.

E. Diagnosis of Social Situation: Conflicts of Interest

• Medical Industry and State (Lobbying & Regulatory Capture):Pharmaceutical lobbying influencing legislation (millions spent).

• CDC and FDA largely funded by the industry they regulate (75% for FDA), creating inherent institutional conflicts.

• Health and State (Public Health & Medical Mandates):Government overstepping into dictating medical requirements (mandates).

• Lack of individual consideration in mandates, leading to "collateral damage."

• Suppression of free speech for doctors who question official narratives.

• Historical attacks on "alternative doctors," now extended to mainstream physicians.

• Medicine and Profit (Unsustainable Business Model):Innate conflict: Patient healed = customer lost.

• Goldman Sachs report questioning if curing patients is "sustainable business model."

• Historical examples: Tobacco (lung cancer denied for 45 years), PFOA (Teflon, dangers known for 25 years), Radium (cure-all, damages denied for 15 years).

• Non-profit status often hides profit motive (e.g., Intermountain Healthcare's top employees earning millions).

• AMA and Wall Street Journal articles highlighting drug firm influence on doctors.

• Economic Persecution ("No Jabs, No Jobs"):Companies mandating vaccines for employment (Google, Facebook, Netflix, Disney, local Utah jobs), especially for healthcare workers.

• Comparison to "chattel slavery" by Rep. Walter Hudson: forcing medical procedures as a condition of livelihood.

• Elimination of individual medical choice in favor of "aggregate" public health.

• Double Inquisition (Lack of Liability):Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act protects vaccine makers from legal action until 2024.

• Sovereign immunity protects FDA/federal government from lawsuits.

• No recourse for individuals injured by vaccines; "modern equivalent of a double inquisition."

F. Proposed Solutions and Alternatives

• Undoing Conflicts of Interest:Separation of Medicine and State: Dissolve state agencies taking medical decisions, remove medical requirements from state laws. Historical precedent (Thomas Jefferson, 1916 Medical Freedom Journals).

• Separation of Medicine and Profit:Charitable enterprise for healthcare, funded by broadly sourced donations (like symphonies, churches).

• Removing corporate power to mandate medical treatments ("job cannot depend on a jab"). Utah's 2022 General Session expanded vaccine exemptions for employees.

• Health Independence Alliance (HIA):Goal: Create a new, systemic alternative healthcare system, free of conflicts.

• Model: Parallel charitable health system, alternative to hospitals and insurance.

• Features: Addresses vaccine injuries, treats patients from a wider perspective, encourages collaboration (allopathy, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractors), emphasizes body's ability to heal with proper support.

• What is the core solution proposed by the documentary to address the "social disease" within the healthcare system, and what specific separation of powers does it advocate for?

Quiz Answer Key

• The primary objective of the documentary is to investigate whether COVID-19 vaccines are truly safe and effective, and to raise awareness about reported adverse events. It aims to achieve this by documenting personal stories of vaccine injury, interviewing healthcare professionals, and examining the scientific process and systemic issues.

• Adrian Edwards, a healthcare liaison, was mandated to get the COVID-19 vaccine to keep her job, despite her body's history of adverse reactions to other shots like flu and pneumonia. After her second dose, she experienced severe fatigue, difficulty breathing, speech issues, and neurological problems, including memory loss during a pageant.

• The primary care physician observed a "vastly increased" number of injuries with COVID-19 vaccines compared to other vaccines. He noted that while some symptoms were similar to COVID-19, there was less respiratory involvement and more fatigue, shortness of breath, and signs of continual inflammation and hypercoagulability.

• A major flaw in the scientific process was the systematic exclusion of basic safety studies during vaccine development. Manufacturers' own disclosures showed no pharmacological, genotoxicity, or carcinogenicity studies were conducted, and there was insufficient data for vulnerable populations like pregnant women and infants.

• A FOIA request revealed that the CDC, contrary to its promises, had done no analysis of safety signals from the VAERS data. This finding was significant because it meant a crucial early warning system for vaccine safety was not being utilized, contributing to a lack of understanding regarding potential adverse effects.

• The documentary illustrated the "Appeal to Ignorance" fallacy through the Utah State Epidemiologist, Lisha Nolan, who claimed vaccines do not modify genetic code without providing any references. This exemplifies claiming something is true because there's no evidence to the contrary, without actually having looked for that evidence.

• Media messaging presented vaccine efficacy (e.g., 95%) as a marketing ploy, with real risk reductions being much lower. Locally, Intermountain and Envision Utah conducted surveys to identify positive phrases and trusted community figures to sculpt messaging and maximize influence on Utahns to accept vaccination.

• Two examples of conflicts of interest embedded in the system include pharmaceutical lobbying, which funnels millions into political systems, and regulatory capture, where agencies like the CDC and FDA receive a significant portion of their funding from the very industries they are supposed to oversee.

• Economic persecution, as presented in the documentary, refers to the practice of forcing individuals to undergo medical procedures as a condition of employment. An example is the "no jabs, no jobs" policy, where companies like Google and Facebook mandated vaccines for employees to return to work, risking their livelihoods.

• The core solution proposed by the documentary is to create a new, systemic alternative healthcare system, free of conflicts of interest. It advocates for a clear separation of medicine and state, meaning state agencies should not dictate medical decisions, and a separation of medicine and profit, suggesting a charitable enterprise for healthcare.

III. Essay Format Questions (No Answers Supplied)

• Analyze how the documentary uses individual testimonies and expert opinions to challenge the prevailing narrative of "safe and effective" regarding COVID-19 vaccines. Discuss the rhetorical impact of these personal stories and the specific medical observations shared by healthcare professionals.

• Critically evaluate the documentary's assertion that the COVID-19 vaccine development process failed fundamental scientific requirements. Discuss at least three specific examples provided in the film (e.g., lack of specific safety studies, VAERS analysis, transparency) and explain how these failures, according to the documentary, undermine scientific claims.

• The documentary argues that society regressed from science to "pseudoscience belief" during the pandemic. Discuss the various forms of authority (religious, political, industrial) that were, according to the film, relied upon instead of rigorous scientific method, and how the media contributed to this shift.

• Examine the concept of "conflicts of interest" as the root cause of systemic issues in healthcare, as presented in the documentary. Discuss the three main areas of conflict (medical industry & state, health & state, medicine & profit) and provide specific examples for each, explaining their negative consequences.

• What solutions does the "Health Independence Alliance" propose to address the systemic problems identified in the documentary? Discuss the principles behind the proposed "separation of powers" for medicine and explain how these solutions aim to create a healthier, more ethical healthcare system.

During COVID-19 Pandemic (General, Undated but within the timeframe):

• The documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective?" is created to investigate the vaccine's safety and efficacy, featuring stories of individuals with adverse events, doctors, nurses, and discussions on Utah law and peer-reviewed studies.

• Many individuals felt mandated to get the COVID-19 vaccine for employment, including Adrian Edwards (Miss Utah 2021/Miss Utah for America Strong), Nicholas (lab setting related to COVID tests), Melissa (home health nurse), a medical technician at a surgical center, and Irene Ricks (ER nurse).

• Some healthcare workers, like the medical technician, volunteered eagerly, believing the vaccine would stop the spread and preserve their health. Margo, working in EMS support, also volunteered, wanting the pandemic to be over.

• Concerns arose early among cardiologists about the original studies and lack of safety studies for the vaccines.

• Reports of adverse events, including Bell's Palsy, palpitations, and severe fatigue, began appearing shortly after vaccination.

• The CDC stated it had no records to support that COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with DNA.

• The FDA fact sheet stated insufficient data to inform vaccine-associated risks for pregnant women, and data was unavailable to assess safety for infants.

• Hospitals, in contrast to manufacturer documents, recommended vaccines for pregnant and breastfeeding women without professional due diligence on safety.

• The Utah Department of Health claimed long-term effects were "unlikely" and only the first six weeks were important, a claim the documentary identifies as baseless due to lack of long-term data.

• The BBC defined "short-term" as a year, implying a longer duration than the Utah Department of Health.

• The VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) was established to monitor adverse events, but many physicians reportedly did not submit reports, and the CDC failed to conduct promised data analysis.

• Utah State Epidemiologist Lisha Nolan claimed vaccines do not modify genetic code without providing references, an example of the "appeal to ignorance" fallacy.

• A nurse friend of one interviewee initially hadn't noticed vaccine reactions but, upon looking for an uptick in neurological problems, strokes, and muscle weakness, found almost every case happened within a week or two of vaccination.

• The CDC, in response to an FOIA request, failed to find records supporting that vaccines did not enhance virus variants and used circular reasoning to explain the absence of data.

• The American Medical Association (AMA) relied on the FDA and CDC for safety monitoring rather than conducting its own analysis.

• The University of Kansas promoted vaccine selfies to create a "bandwagon effect," an example of an unscientific practice.

• The FDA paused the Johnson & Johnson vaccine due to six adverse events, a decision criticized as a "huge mistake" for public relations.

• Reuters reported that the FDA wanted 55 years to release data from Pfizer's vaccine trials; a court ordered faster release, emphasizing the legal value of transparency.

• Messaging from Intermountain and Envision Utah used survey data to craft positive messaging to influence Utahns to take the vaccine, including endorsements from "trustworthy" figures like Angela Dunn, Mark Harrison, and Russell M. Nelson.

• President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, along with other leaders, received the vaccine and called it a "literal godsend."

• A woman's husband died within a week of receiving his booster shot after she decided to "put faith over fear" due to her religious leader's endorsement.

• Historical data on pharmaceutical company payouts for offenses: Pfizer ($10+ billion, including largest healthcare fraud settlement of $2.3 billion), Johnson & Johnson ($15+ billion), AstraZeneca ($1+ billion).

• The British Medical Journal highlighted conflicts of interest in the CDC (major funding from industry) and FDA (nearly 75% funding from industry).

• Doctors reported being unable to discuss preventative or curative treatments outside of "evidence-based medicine," which is criticized as being influenced by funding and industry.

• A patient who experienced numerous severe symptoms after vaccination was told by physicians they were experiencing anxiety, bipolar disorder, or an asymptomatic case of COVID-19, and was almost institutionalized.

• Goldman Sachs asked if curing patients is a sustainable business model, noting it reduces disease spread and hits profits.

• Representative-elect Walter Hudson compared vaccine mandates to slavery and Jim Crow laws, arguing against forced medical procedures as a condition of employment.

• The "One Utah Health Collaborative" was launched, combining medicine, pharma, and state, which the documentary argues worsens existing conflicts of interest.

• Utah passed HB 233 in General Session 2021, requiring medical, personal, and religious exemptions for school immunization.

• The Health Independence Alliance (HIA) is proposed and founded as an alternative, charitable health system to address vaccine injuries and provide a wider perspective on patient care, free from conflicts of interest.

October 2020:

• President Trump publicly encouraged people to take the vaccine, stating he took it.

• News reports consistently stated Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were 95% effective; the documentary claims this was a marketing ploy, with real risk reduction closer to 1%.

December 21, 2020:

• Joe Biden received his first COVID-19 vaccine shot.

Post-COVID-19 Pandemic (Ongoing, Undated but current):

• The Health Independence Alliance (healthindependencealliance.com) is actively working to build a new system for healthcare.

Cast of Characters

Individuals with Adverse Events:

• Adrian Edwards: Miss Utah 2021/Miss Utah for America Strong. A public speaker who works as a liaison between hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. She was mandated to get the vaccine, despite a sensitive system prone to adverse reactions from other shots. Experienced severe fatigue, difficulty breathing, memory loss, and neurological effects after vaccination.

• Nicholas: Worked in a lab setting related to COVID tests (PCR) during the peak of the pandemic. Was required to take the vaccines to continue his job and experienced palpitations and nearly passing out after his second shot, leading him to fear for his life and discuss advanced directives with his family.

• Melissa: A home health nurse with 11 years of experience, including throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Took care of many COVID-positive patients before vaccines were available. Experienced a lymph node growth the size of a golf ball (later surgically removed), hair loss, and suspected lymphatic cancer after vaccination.

• Medical Technician (unnamed): Worked at a surgical center, administering IVs multiple times a day. Was eager to get the vaccine, believing it would stop the spread and preserve her health due to underlying autoimmune conditions. After the second dose, her pre-existing autoimmune symptoms worsened significantly, leading to tremors so severe she could no longer perform her job and had to quit. Developed over 40 new symptoms.

• Margo: Worked in Emergency Medical Services, in support roles, not direct ambulance contact. Volunteered to get the vaccine, hoping to end the pandemic. After her second shot, she experienced severe fatigue, insomnia, and a sensation of her brain shaking at night. Was told by a neurologist she had "long COVID" despite never testing positive for COVID-19.

• Irene Ricks: An ER nurse for close to five years, working since the beginning of COVID. She was initially convinced by the media that the vaccine was a "saving grace." Experienced face numbness (Bell's Palsy-like symptoms) after her first Pfizer shot.

• Peyton: A 20-year-old who received two injections because it was required for her two-year LDS mission to Houston, Texas. After the first dose, she experienced extreme fatigue, blurry vision, stomach pain, and constipation. After the second dose, she developed a severe arrhythmia, uncontrollable shaking, chills, inability to walk up stairs (falling down them), extreme fatigue, pale appearance, greasy hair, red fingernails, swollen ankles, and painful urination with "metal toxicity"-like urine. She was nearly institutionalized by doctors who attributed her symptoms to anxiety and bipolar disorder.

• Fred Roberts: Former NBA basketball player and current educator. Became involved in a group discussing vaccine safety and efficacy after being contacted by a former teammate. Concerned about the damage seen in classrooms from mask mandates and the increase in cardiac events among athletes.

Medical Professionals & Experts:

• Scott Bell: Homeopathic practitioner for almost 30 years and a broadcast media host for 23 years. Interviewed over 1,500 health professionals and laypeople. Serves as a host/narrator in the documentary, bringing awareness to adverse events.

• Board-Certified Cardiologist (unnamed): Has been a physician for 32 years. Expressed early concerns about the original vaccine studies and observed unusual cardiac events (pericarditis, myocarditis, chest pain, shortness of breath, heart rhythm issues) in patients, including young, healthy individuals, after vaccination. Noted that long-haul COVID symptoms were more common in vaccinated individuals in his experience.

• Board-Certified Naturopath and Homeopath Neil Schultz: Became involved in natural medicine after a personal terminal diagnosis 13 years prior. Discusses integrating natural therapies with pharmaceutical approaches.

• Physician (unnamed, Primary Care): Has been practicing for 32 years. Notes that many vaccine symptoms are similar to COVID itself but with less respiratory issues and more fatigue, shortness of breath, and inflammation. Believes the spike protein targets ACE receptors in reproductive organs, leading to decreased fertility. Sees vastly increased injuries with the COVID vaccine compared to others.

• Marcia Angell: Former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. Quoted as saying it's "no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines," indicating a deep corruption within "evidence-based medicine."

• Lisha Nolan: Utah State Epidemiologist. Claimed vaccines do not modify genetic code without providing references, which is criticized in the documentary as an "appeal to ignorance."

Government/Public Health Officials:

• Alex Azar: Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President Trump. Invoked the PREP Act in February 2020.

• Angela Dunn: Mentioned as a "trustworthy" figure in the community whose influence was leveraged for vaccine messaging in Utah.

• Mark Harrison: Mentioned as a "trustworthy" figure in the community whose influence was leveraged for vaccine messaging in Utah.

• Walter Hudson: Republican Representative-elect. Compared medical professionals urging vaccination to slave owners, arguing that forcing medical procedures as a condition of employment is akin to slavery.

Political Figures:

• Donald Trump: President during the initial phase of the pandemic. Initiated the expedited vaccine program (Operation Warp Speed). Publicly encouraged vaccination.

• Joe Biden: President who continued the deployment of vaccines and issued an executive order to mandate them at the federal level. Publicly received his vaccine.

• Senator (unnamed): Criticized by another individual for "playing politics with people's lives" by undermining public confidence in a vaccine if it emerged during the Trump administration.

• Pope Francis: Holy endorsement of COVID-19 vaccines, urging everyone to get their shots.

• Dalai Lama: Received his first coronavirus vaccine shot and urged followers to do the same.

• President Russell M. Nelson: President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Received the COVID-19 vaccine at age 96 and tweeted that he and his wife prayed for it as a "literal godsend."

Corporate Entities/Organizations:

• Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson: Pharmaceutical companies that developed COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer and J&J have histories of large healthcare fraud settlements.

• CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention): Government agency responsible for health. Criticized for lacking evidence on vaccine interaction with DNA, failing to analyze VAERS data, and having conflicts of interest due to industry funding.

• FDA (Food and Drug Administration): Government agency responsible for drug approval. Criticized for insufficient data on vaccine risks for pregnant women and infants, wanting 55 years to release Pfizer trial data, and having conflicts of interest due to industry funding.

• Intermountain Health Care: Local Utah healthcare provider. Criticized for promoting unscientific claims about side effects being a sign of vaccine working and being part of the "One Utah Health Collaborative," which institutionalizes conflicts of interest.

1. What is the central concern of the "Utah: Safe and Effective?" documentary?

The documentary primarily investigates the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly focusing on individuals who claim to have experienced adverse events ranging from mild to severe after receiving the injections. It aims to document these personal stories, explore potential legal and legislative protections, and scrutinize the scientific process and public messaging surrounding the vaccines. The film questions the official narratives of "safe and effective" by presenting testimonies from medical professionals, athletes, and laypersons, alongside an analysis of scientific study protocols and reporting systems.

2. What types of adverse events are discussed in the documentary by those who received COVID-19 vaccinations?

The documentary presents numerous accounts of adverse events. These include neurological issues like severe headaches, brain fog, stuttering, difficulty speaking, memory loss, and even Bell's Palsy. Cardiac problems such as pericarditis, myocarditis, palpitations, irregular heartbeats, and heart failure are also frequently mentioned. Other reported symptoms include extreme fatigue, insomnia, lymph node swelling (leading to cancer concerns in one case), hair loss, tremors, vision loss, rapidly degenerative brain disorder, and severe anxiety. Some individuals reported worsening pre-existing autoimmune conditions. There are also accounts of deaths, including a 20-year-old athlete who passed away unexpectedly.

3. How does the documentary critique the scientific process and data transparency regarding COVID-19 vaccines?

The documentary argues that the scientific process for COVID-19 vaccines was fundamentally flawed, highlighting several deficiencies:

• Lack of Safety Studies: It claims that manufacturers' disclosures indicated no safety pharmacological, genotoxicity, or carcinogenicity studies were conducted early on.

• Insufficient Data for Vulnerable Populations: It states that data was insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks for pregnant women and infants.

• Short-Term Data: The rapid development through "Operation Warp Speed" meant a lack of long-term data, with claims of "unlikely long-term effects" being deemed baseless.

• Cherry-Picking Data: The documentary asserts that published trial results (e.g., in the New England Journal of Medicine) focused on preventing COVID-19 cases but not on overall results, which allegedly showed more deaths in vaccinated groups.

• Failure of Pharmacovigilance: It criticizes the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the CDC's failure to analyze reported safety signals, contrary to their promises. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests reportedly showed no such analysis was done, with agencies "passing the buck."

• Lack of Transparency: It points to the FDA's initial request for 55 years to release Pfizer's trial data and redactions in released documents as evidence of a lack of transparency.

4. What logical fallacies are identified in the public messaging and official claims about the COVID-19 vaccines?

The documentary identifies several logical fallacies:

• Appeal to Ignorance: Claiming no evidence exists because it hasn't been looked for, or stating vaccines don't modify DNA without providing references.

• Circular Reasoning: Arguing that records supporting a claim don't exist because the phenomenon itself (e.g., vaccines creating variants) cannot exist.

• Appeal to Authority: Relying solely on the FDA and CDC for safety monitoring without independent analysis by medical organizations.

• Bandwagon Effect: Actively encouraging vaccine uptake through messaging that suggests widespread adoption.

• Lack of Falsifiability: The claim that "side effects are a sign the vaccine is working" is presented as unfalsifiable, as it can be used to explain away any adverse event, including severe ones, thus preventing any data from disproving vaccine safety.

5. How did the media, political, and religious figures contribute to the public perception and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, according to the documentary?

The documentary argues that a "one voice, one message" strategy was employed, similar to crisis management recommendations, to promote the vaccines:

• Marketing Ploy: The "95% effective" claim was deemed a marketing ploy, as real risk reductions were much lower.

• Targeted Messaging: Research by entities like Intermountain and Envision Utah identified positive associations and trustworthy figures (e.g., Angela Dunn, Russell Nelson) to sculpt persuasive messages for Utahns.

• Religious Endorsement: Religious leaders, including Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama, encouraged vaccination, with one religious leader even calling it a "godsend."

• Political Endorsement: Both Trump and Biden administrations promoted vaccination, with political figures encouraging uptake and emphasizing protection. The documentary notes that initially, political alignment influenced trust in the vaccine.

• Industry Sponsorship: Media outlets were shown to be sponsored by pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, potentially influencing coverage.

6. What conflicts of interest are identified as underlying issues in the healthcare and vaccine system?

The documentary attributes systemic problems in medicine and healthcare to conflicts of interest:

• Medical Industry and State: Strong financial ties through pharmaceutical lobbying influence local and federal legislatures. Regulatory bodies like the CDC and FDA receive significant funding from the very industry they are meant to oversee, creating "regulatory capture."

• Public Health and Mandates: The concept of "public health" is criticized for overstepping into medical dictation, leading to mandates that don't account for individual situations and restrict free speech for doctors.

• Medicine and Profit: The profit motive of the medical industry is seen as inherently conflicting with healing patients, as a healed patient is a "customer lost." This is exemplified by reports questioning if "curing patients is a sustainable business model." Even "non-profit" organizations like Intermountain Healthcare are shown to have highly compensated executives.

• Historical Precedents: Comparisons are drawn to historical instances where industries (tobacco, Teflon, radium) downplayed dangers for profit, leading to long-term harm.

7. What is "medical slavery" and how does the documentary relate it to vaccine mandates?

The documentary defines "medical slavery" as a situation where individuals are forced to undergo a medical procedure (like a vaccination) as a condition for earning a living or participating in society. It highlights "no jab, no job" policies imposed by companies like Google, Facebook, and Netflix, and within healthcare systems, where employees who trained their whole lives for a profession are left with no choice but to comply or lose their livelihood. The film compares this to historical injustices like chattel slavery, Jim Crow, and Japanese internment, arguing that these were also justified under the guise of "greater good" and involved people needing to "show their papers."

8. What solutions are proposed to address the identified problems in the healthcare system?

The documentary suggests radical systemic changes, moving beyond political solutions:

• Separation of Medicine and State: All state agencies involved in medical decisions should be systematically checked, pulled back, and dissolved to remove the conflict between individualized medicine and state laws. This is likened to the historical separation of church and state.

• Separation of Medicine and Profit: A charitable enterprise, supported by broadly sourced funds (similar to symphonies or churches), should replace profit-driven hospitals and insurance companies. This would remove the monetary conflict of interest and eliminate corporate power to mandate medical treatments.

• Creation of Alternatives: The Health Independence Alliance (HIA) is introduced as a model for a parallel charitable health system, free of conflicts of interest. It aims to integrate different health systems (allopathy, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractors), encourage research and collaboration, and provide a network of independent practitioners to treat vaccine injuries and other chronic diseases from a wider perspective.

• Focus on Individualized Healing: Emphasizing the body's natural ability to heal when given what it needs, and valuing anecdotal evidence when observed and applied.

Executive Summary

This briefing document summarizes the key themes, ideas, and facts presented in the documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary." The film critiques the COVID-19 vaccine program, focusing on its safety, efficacy, the scientific process, and the underlying societal and institutional conflicts of interest that influenced its rollout. It presents numerous personal testimonies of adverse events and deaths alleged to be linked to the vaccines, alongside expert opinions questioning the scientific rigor and ethical practices surrounding their development and mandated use. The documentary advocates for a separation of medicine from state and profit, and the creation of alternative, charitable healthcare systems that prioritize patient well-being and integrated approaches to healing.

Main Themes and Key Ideas

The documentary revolves around several core themes:

• Questioning Vaccine Safety and Efficacy: The central premise is to challenge the official narrative that COVID-19 vaccines are "safe and effective." The film presents evidence, largely anecdotal and through personal testimonies, of a wide range of severe adverse events and deaths allegedly linked to the vaccines.

• Adverse Event Testimonies: Numerous individuals, including healthcare workers (nurses, medical technicians, cardiologists, home health nurses), athletes, and laypersons, share their experiences of severe health issues post-vaccination. Symptoms reported include:

• "really bad headache," "brain fog," "tripping over and stuttering," "severe fatigue" (Adrian, Miss Utah 2021)

• "palpitations and I started to pass out at work," "lymph node started to grow on my neck... to the size of a golf ball," "losing my hair" (Medical Technician)

• "lost all the strength in his legs to the point that he couldn't walk... passed away eight months later" (Family Member of Patient)

• "memory troubles," "weakness," "trouble with speech," "falling more and more," diagnosed with "rapidly degenerative brain disorder," "passed away before Christmas" (Home Health Nurse on a patient)

• "acute pericarditis in a young patient healthy" (Cardiologist)

• "fatigue," "insomnia," "brain was shaking," "Bell's palsy" (EMS worker, Nurse)

• "PVCs or an irregular beet backfiring back to back" (Cardiac Procedure Unit worker)

• "dramatically decreased fertility" (Physician)

• "Tremors became so bad I was no longer able to wear shoes" (Individual with autoimmune condition)

• "extreme fatigue," "vision was a little blurry," "stomach hurt," "constipation," "shortness of breath," "anxious," "couldn't stop throwing up," "shaking," "chills," "couldn't even walk up the stairs," "fell down the stairs," "fingernails were just basically falling out," "ankles were swollen so bad," "urinary tract difficulties... pee... looks like someone broke pencil in and put it in the toilet and... smelled like... construction zone just like... big metal just just so metally" (Peyton, young person seeking mission)

• Athletes experiencing "chronic chest pain short Sabra some heart palpitations fatigue" leading to inability to compete. The death of 20-year-old basketball player Derek Gray is also mentioned as an unexpected sudden death.

• Denial and Lack of Reporting: Many individuals faced skepticism from doctors, attributing symptoms to other causes (e.g., "long Covid" for unvaccinated individuals, anxiety, bipolar disorder). Healthcare providers often "would not acknowledge the correlation because they have no data stating that this can happen at the time," and many "refused to even look" at potential links. Patients often had to self-report to VAERS.

• Critique of the Scientific Process and Transparency: The documentary argues that the scientific process was fundamentally flawed and compromised during vaccine development and rollout.

• Missing Safety Studies: Manufacturers' disclosures reportedly showed "no safety pharmacological studies," "no genotoxicity studies," and "no carcinogenicity Studies" were conducted for mRNA technology. The CDC, when asked for documents supporting that vaccines "do not change or interact with the DNA in any way," reportedly "said it had no records of this documentation."

• Insufficient Data for Vulnerable Populations: The FDA fact sheet stated "available data are insufficient to inform vaccine Associated risks" for pregnant women, and data was "not available to even assess the safety" for infants. Hospitals are criticized for recommending vaccines for pregnant and breastfeeding women "without completing any professional due diligence."

• Lack of Long-Term Data: The "Operation Warp Speed" expedited vaccine development "within a year," meaning "lack data that spans many years to monitor the long-term side effects." The Utah Department of Health's claim that "long-term effects are unlikely and only the first six weeks are important" is called "baseless."

• Flawed Trial Data Interpretation: The documentary claims that published trial results in the New England Journal of Medicine "focused only on the first aspect the number of people that got covid in the vaccinated versus the placebo group," but "deaths were more in the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated." It cites "Physicians for informed consent" stating that "for every two covid-19 hospitalizations prevented 10 serious vaccine adverse events occurred."

• VAERS Data Negligence: The CDC reportedly "done no analysis of the safety signals at all" from the VAERS database, despite promising to do so. Citizens' FOIA requests revealed "a prr of about 31 for strokes 33 for heart valve issues 105 for breakthrough covid-19 and most importantly 5.86 for death."

• Logical Fallacies: The film identifies several logical fallacies employed in official communications:

• Appeal to Ignorance: Claims like "vaccines do not modify the genetic code without providing any references."

• Circular Reasoning: The CDC arguing they found no records that vaccines enhance variants because "the vaccines do not create or cause the variants."

• Appeal to Authority/Bandwagon: Reliance on FDA/CDC without independent analysis, and encouraging vaccine selfies to create a "bandwagon effect."

• Lack of Falsifiability: The claim that "side effects are a sign the vaccine is working," even for severe adverse events, making it impossible to disprove vaccine safety.

• Lack of Transparency: Reuters reported that the FDA "wanted 55 years to share the data from Pfizer's vaccine trials," and released data contained "redactions of critical information." A court order emphasized "stale information is of little value and also that excessive delay is tantamount to denial of information."

• Politization, Marketing, and Belief over Science: The documentary argues that the vaccine rollout was heavily influenced by political agendas, marketing strategies, and appeals to faith, rather than pure science.

• "One Voice, One Message": Influenced by recommendations from the 2009 influenza pandemic, there was a concerted effort to deliver a singular, positive message about vaccine efficacy.

• Exaggerated Efficacy Claims: The repeated media claim of "95 percent effective" is dismissed as "nothing more than a marketing ploy," with the film stating "real risk reductions" were "about one percent for Pfizer."

• Targeted Messaging: Research by Intermountain and Envision Utah identified "words and phrases that had positive associations" and "trustworthiness in the population" (e.g., Angela Dunn, Mark Harrison, Russell Nelson) to "influence the maximum number of people."

• Religious and Political Endorsements: Religious leaders (Pope Francis, Dalai Lama, leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and political figures (Trump, Biden) publicly endorsed and received vaccines, framing it as a "godsend" or a civic duty.

• Distrust and Division: The vaccine issue created a "huge controversy between people," with some saying "get facts... we're in a pandemic" and others claiming it "doesn't do anything and it just causes a huge controversy."

• Conflicts of Interest and Systemic Corruption: The documentary diagnoses a "social disease" rooted in pervasive conflicts of interest within the healthcare system.

• Pharmaceutical Lobbying: The "farm industry has one of the highest ratios of lobbyists to members of Congress," with "millions in the first quarter of 2020," creating a "clear conflict of interest embedded into the political system."

• Regulatory Capture: The CDC and FDA receive a "major portion of the funding... from the very industry" they are supposed to oversee, leading to "fundamental institutional conflicts of interest."

• Medical Mandates and Free Speech: "Regulation oversteps into the dictation of medical requirements," leading to "collateral damage" as mandates "cannot account for an individual situation." Doctors faced threats and censorship for questioning the narrative, with some co-workers saying "all the people that don't want to get vaccinated they should just die."

• Medicine and Profit: The "innate conflict between the motive of increasing profits and healing patients" is highlighted, with the "Goldman Sachs" report asking "is curing patients a sustainable business model." Examples like tobacco, PFOA, and radium are cited where industry "downplay[ed] the dangers" for decades. Even "non-profit" organizations like Intermountain Healthcare are criticized for high executive salaries.

• "No Jabs, No Jobs" Policy: Economic persecution through vaccine mandates meant "your job cannot depend on a jab," impacting individuals who "trained their entire life to be a nurse" but faced job loss.

• Bioshield and Lack of Liability: The "Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act" (PREP Act) "protects the makers of covid products... from legal action," lasting until 2024. Furthermore, one "can't sue the FDA for approving or disapproving a drug" due to "sovereign immunity." This creates a "modern equivalent of a double Inquisition as neither the state nor the industry has any liability for medical decisions."

• Seeking Solutions and Alternatives: The film concludes by proposing a fundamental restructuring of the healthcare system.

• Separation of Powers in Medicine: Drawing parallels to the separation of church and state, the documentary advocates for a "clear separation of powers" for medicine, undoing conflicts of interest.

• Separation of Medicine and State: "All State agencies that take medical decisions must be systematically checked pulled back and dissolved" to remove the conflict between "individualized medicine and state laws."

• Separation of Medicine and Profit: A shift towards a "charitable Enterprise that supports both the doctors and patients" is proposed, funded by "broadly sourced charitable funds," rather than a profit-driven model.

• Health Independence Alliance (HIA): The documentary promotes this organization as a "new way forward," creating a "parallel charitable Health System" that integrates various healing modalities (allopathy, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractors), encourages research and collaboration, and addresses vaccine injuries from a "much wider perspective."

• Lessons from History: The film invokes historical precedents of religious freedom as a guide for medical freedom, suggesting that economic persecution of "medical Heretics" today requires a systemic solution.

Most Important Ideas/Facts

• Numerous, Severe Adverse Events: The documentary's most striking element is the sheer volume of personal testimonies detailing serious health issues (e.g., heart problems, neurological damage, autoimmune flares, reproductive issues, debilitating fatigue, and death) allegedly occurring shortly after COVID-19 vaccination. These stories are presented as "many stories that are happening in silence behind the scenes that may never make the light of day."

• Absence of Fundamental Safety Studies: The claim that manufacturers' own disclosures showed no genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, or basic safety pharmacology studies for mRNA technology, and the CDC's lack of records concerning DNA interaction, are critical points challenging the "safe" narrative. "Right off the bat a decision has been made to ignore safety."

• VAERS Data Left Unanalyzed by CDC: The CDC's reported failure to perform promised safety signal analysis on VAERS data, coupled with citizen-obtained FOIA data showing high Proportional Reporting Ratios (PRR) for severe adverse events, including death (PRR 5.86), is a major indictment of regulatory oversight. "No wonder the agencies refused to look."

• Regulatory Capture and Liability Shield: The pervasive "conflict of interest" due to federal agencies (CDC, FDA) being heavily funded by the pharmaceutical industry they regulate, combined with the PREP Act granting immunity from liability to vaccine manufacturers, creates a system where "neither the state nor the industry has any liability for medical decisions." This is called "the modern equivalent of a double Inquisition."

• Marketing Over Science: The documentary highlights how the "95% effective" claim was a "marketing ploy" and demonstrates how local health authorities and media used sophisticated psychological techniques to "influence the maximum number of people" into vaccine acceptance, departing from objective scientific communication.

• Mandates and Medical Slavery: The "no jab, no job" policy is powerfully compared to "chattel slavery" by Republican Representative-elect Walter Hudson, arguing that requiring a medical procedure as a condition of employment for "the supposed greater good" sets a "legal precedent for medical slavery."

• "Curing Patients a Sustainable Business Model?": The Goldman Sachs report questioning the profitability of curing patients exposes a deep-seated "conflict between the motive of increasing profits and healing patients."

• Advocacy for Separation of Medicine from State and Profit: The core solution proposed is a systemic overhaul, advocating for the "separation of medicine and state" and "separation of medicine and profit" to dismantle the inherent conflicts of interest and restore true patient-centered healthcare, exemplified by the "Health Independence Alliance."

Here are 40 key takeaway points from the provided source:

I. Title: Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary (FULL) Author: Health Independence Alliance

The documentary aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, including controversies, personal injuries, and related legislation.

It promises to provide credible peer-reviewed studies and personal stories of those who have experienced adverse events from mild to severe.

II. Many individuals, especially those in healthcare, felt mandated to receive the COVID-19 vaccine to keep their jobs, despite personal concerns or pre-existing conditions.

One healthcare liaison stated, "I was mandated I did not want to get it but I was told that I I had to get it in order to keep working".

A lab worker also confirmed, "I was required to take the vaccines to continue working my job in the lab setting".

III. Healthcare professionals observed unusual patterns of illnesses and adverse events after the vaccine rollout, different from what they typically saw in their careers.

A home health nurse noted, "I've been a home health nurse all the way through you know the coveted pandemic I saw the effects of of the lockdown on these elderly people who were lonely and couldn't get out".

A board-certified cardiologist expressed concerns "fairly early on" about "not having enough safety studies behind it or some of the outcomes from the initial trials".

IV. Some healthcare workers volunteered to get vaccinated, believing it would stop the spread or preserve their health, only to experience adverse reactions later.

One medical technician stated, "I was one of the first ones in my organization to get the vaccine" because "they said that if we got the vaccine it would not we wouldn't spread or it would preserve our health".

An EMS worker initially hesitant, volunteered thinking, "I just want this pandemic over let's just do this let's go for it".

V. The media played a significant role in making the COVID-19 situation appear "so scary for everyone," leading people to believe the vaccine was a "Saving Grace".

An ER nurse noted, "The reason why I got this shot the media made it so so scary for everyone we thought this was our Saving Grace".

There was discussion among doctors that "you don't really know" about mRNA technology, but they were "just being told" it would save them.

VI. Individuals suffered a wide range of severe adverse events following vaccination, including extreme headaches, brain fog, stuttering, severe fatigue, difficulty breathing, and neurological issues.

One Miss Utah contestant described "extreme" headaches, "immediate" brain fog, and "tripping over and stuttering" after her second shot.

She also reported "the most severe fatigue that I've ever experienced in my lifetime" and "difficulty speaking without being winded" at a national pageant.

VII. Other serious health issues reported after vaccination include heart palpitations, passing out, growing lymph nodes, hair loss, and rapidly degenerative brain disorders.

One individual reported, "shortly after I had the second shot about 30 minutes after that's when I started you know having palpitations and I started to pass out at work and was actually taken to the ER".

A patient developed a "rapidly degenerative brain disorder" and passed away within months of his booster shot, despite being a "picture of Health".

VIII. Cardiac events like acute pericarditis and myocarditis were observed in young, healthy patients shortly after vaccination, which were recognized as vaccine side effects by some physicians.

A cardiologist reported the "first case I saw was the was a case of acute pericarditis in a young patient healthy".

He also mentioned seeing "a lot of what I would say are subtle myocarditis and that people come in with chest pain and shortness of breath and heart rhythm issues that have been going on for months and there was a change after they took the shots".

IX. A distinction was drawn between long-term COVID symptoms and vaccine adverse events, with some physicians observing long-haul symptoms predominantly in vaccinated individuals.

One physician noted, "in my experience everyone that I've seen with these kind of long-haul symptoms have been in the vaccinated or even the recurrent infections that people that have been infected three or four times have been in the vaccinated".

Another physician's belief that "he was seeing a lot of long-term covet in the unvaccinated and not in the vaccinated" was surprising to the speaker.

X. Patients experiencing post-vaccination symptoms were sometimes misdiagnosed with "long covid" even if they had never tested positive for the virus.

One EMS worker, despite multiple negative COVID tests, was told by a neurologist, "you have long covet" after describing severe fatigue and insomnia.

She found it an "oxymoron" for a doctor to say "you have an asymptomatic disease".

XI. Some individuals experienced such severe and debilitating symptoms post-vaccination that they considered ending their lives, highlighting the profound mental and physical toll.

One patient stated, "as the months went by I was just at a point in my life where I didn't want to take my own life" and "I cried and I said I can't do this anymore".

Her husband's response, "you can't die I need you," provided a reason to continue.

XII. Specific and unusual symptoms, such as facial numbness resembling Bell's palsy and severe irregular heartbeats (PVCs), were reported shortly after vaccination.

After the first Pfizer vaccine, one person "woke up with my face feeling numb like you're at a dentist office" and noted it "was definitely not symmetrical".

Another individual, working in a cardiac procedure unit, hooked herself up to an EKG and saw "what was actually going on was that I would have what they call PVCs or an irregular beet backfiring back to back".

XIII. Physicians with decades of experience noted that the COVID vaccination program resulted in vastly increased and unique types of adverse events compared to previous vaccines.

A physician with 32 years of experience stated, "they're vastly increased I mean there's a lot more injuries with this vaccine".

He believed "it's a spike protein that targets targets the ace receptors as it so that there's a lot a big concentration of these Asian sectors in the reproductive organs".

XIV. Pre-existing autoimmune conditions worsened significantly after vaccination, and new, atypical symptoms emerged that doctors struggled to diagnose.

One individual reported that "after the second vaccine that's when the gas was put on the Fire" and "your auto pre-existing autoimmune symptoms came back or worsened".

She experienced "40 different symptoms were these all pre-existing or were there any that were new that you didn't have before the list of 40 symptoms are all new since the modern vaccine".

XV. Many doctors would not acknowledge a correlation between patient symptoms and the vaccine due to a lack of data or guidance, leaving patients without help or official VAERS reports.

The lack of acknowledgment meant, "by and large most doctors would not acknowledge the correlation because they have no data stating that this can happen at the time".

Two physicians asked if they had reported VAERS reports "have told me no," and a health department told a patient to report her own adverse event.

XVI. Patients who reported initial adverse reactions to the first dose were still given the second dose, with medical professionals dismissing concerns or downplaying the severity and duration of side effects.

After severe fatigue and other symptoms from the first shot, one person talked to others who said, "well even if you have side effects it should maybe last two weeks".

Despite developing arrhythmia and stomach problems after the first dose, the second dose was administered, with doctors attributing her symptoms to anxiety.

XVII. Extreme physical deterioration, including inability to walk, severe pallor, greasy hair, nail issues, and swollen ankles, was reported by young individuals who planned to serve missions.

One person described, "I couldn't even walk up the stairs and I had someone help me and then I tried going down the stairs and I fell down the stairs".

She also noted, "my hair was just so greasy my fingernails were just basically you know falling out of so red and my my ankles were swollen so bad".

XVIII. Unexplained urinary issues, including painful urination and strange urine appearance, were reported, which urologists could not identify, speculating "metal toxicity".

One patient said, "I would pee and I would basically fall to my knees and start crying because it hurts so bad".

Urologists, upon seeing the urine, said, "we don't know what that is we've never seen anything like that it looks like metal toxicity".

XIX. Athletes, including college and high school players, experienced heart events, chronic chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, leading to their inability to compete and even deaths.

Reports mentioned "young players college players who are passing out not able to play anymore high school players are not able to play anymore because of hard events or whatever kind of events they've had".

A star basketball player, Derek Gray, "passed away unexpectedly on Sunday 'playing the game he loved'" at 20 years old.

XX. The scientific process for COVID-19 vaccines was fundamentally flawed, with crucial safety studies systematically excluded from the onset.

"According to the manufacturer's own disclosures no safety pharmacological studies were conducted right off the bat".

Also, "no genotoxicity studies are planned" and "carcinogenicity Studies have also not been conducted".

XXI. There was no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with DNA, and the FDA fact sheet admitted insufficient data for pregnant women and infants.

A Freedom of Information Act request to the CDC for documents supporting that COVID-19 vaccines do not change DNA resulted in the CDC stating "it had no records of this documentation".

The FDA fact sheet for the vaccine rollout "stated that available data are insufficient to inform vaccine Associated risks or in other words they have not been studied enough to decide one way or another".

XXII. The rapid development through "Operation Warp Speed" meant the vaccines lacked long-term data, leading to "baseless claims" about their long-term effects.

"The covid vaccines were ready within a year through operation warp speed and hence lack data that spans many years to monitor the long-term side effects".

A healthcare worker expressed wariness of "anything is brand new" and usually prefers to "give it five years or so".

XXIII. Despite rapid approval, the laws of physics and biology cannot be sped up by money or resources, implying that long-term effects still require long-term observation.

"all the money resources and skill in the world cannot speed up the clock the laws of physics and biology cannot be altered by spending money".

Therefore, "long-term effects remain to be seen only in the long term".

XXIV. Early trial data, when analyzed comprehensively, showed clear evidence of harm rather than help, with more deaths in the vaccinated group than the unvaccinated.

"The published results in the New England Journal of Medicine focused only on the first aspect the number of people that got coveted in the vaccinated versus the placebo group".

"What they did not focus on was the overall result which showed that deaths were more in the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated".

XXV. The VAERS database, intended as an early warning system for vaccine adverse events, was not properly utilized or analyzed by the CDC, despite promises.

"Vare studies reports of possible health problems also called Adverse Events after vaccination theirs can't prove a vaccine caused a problem but it acts as an early warning system".

Shockingly, a Freedom of Information Act request revealed the CDC "had contrary to its promise done no analysis of the safety signals at all".

XXVI. Regulatory agencies (CDC and FDA) engaged in "passing the buck" regarding safety analysis of VAERS data, with neither agency taking responsibility.

The CDC "passed off the responsibility to the FDA and the FDA in turn refuses to provide a safety analysis".

Individual citizens had to use FOIA requests to obtain data, revealing "damning safety numbers for any vaccine".

XXVII. FOIA requests revealed high Proportional Reporting Ratios (PRRs) for serious adverse events after COVID-19 vaccines, indicating they enhanced side effects more than other vaccines.

Data showed a "prr of about 31 for strokes 33 for heart valve issues 105 for breakthrough covid-19 and most importantly 5.86 for death".

These numbers are described as "damning safety numbers for any vaccine".

XXVIII. The "appeal to ignorance" fallacy was used by health officials who made claims about vaccine safety, such as not modifying genetic code, without providing any references or evidence.

The Utah State epidemiologist "stated that the vaccines do not modify the genetic code without providing any references".

This is a classic example of "there is no evidence because we have not looked".

XXIX. Medical professionals, even after a year of vaccine rollout, initially denied seeing adverse reactions until they were prompted to review medical records, which then "floored" them with correlations.

A nurse friend, a year after vaccines were released, initially said "I haven't seen any reactions".

After being encouraged to look, "she actually acknowledged that she had started looking and was absolutely floored that almost every single case that she was seeing had happened within a week or two of them receiving the covet vaccine".

XXX. Regulatory bodies like the CDC were accused of using "circular reasoning," arguing that records about vaccines not enhancing variants didn't exist because vaccines couldn't cause variants.

The CDC "failed to find any such records" about vaccines not enhancing variants but "went on to argue that they failed to find records because the vaccines do not create or cause the variance".

This is a "classic example of circular reasoning" where "the records do not exist because they cannot exist".

XXXI. Medical organizations like the American Medical Association (AMA) and academic institutions also relied on the FDA and CDC for safety monitoring, rather than conducting their own analyses.

The AMA "simply depended on the FDA and CDC to monitor the safety which we have seen that they have not done".

Academic institutions like the University of Kansas "have chosen to actively promote unscientific practices" by encouraging "vaccine selfies".

XXXII. The claim that "side effects are a sign the vaccine is working" was widely promoted, even for severe adverse events, without proper analysis or qualification.

Intermountain Health Care locally in Utah declared "that side effects are a sign the vaccine is working with no further qualification".

The question is posed: "does disability and death show the vaccine is working".

XXXIII. A "lack of falsifiability" in scientific claims meant that arguments for vaccine safety and effectiveness could not be disproved, regardless of emerging data.

This is "a big problem in science where a statement can never be proved false".

"There is no scientific pathway allowed to disprove the safety of the vaccines".

XXXIV. Transparency regarding vaccine trial data was severely lacking, with the FDA wanting 55 years to release Pfizer's data and even released data containing redactions.

"Reuters reported how the FDA wanted 55 years to share the data from Pfizer's vaccine trials".

"Even the data released by the FDA contains redactions of critical information such as what exactly happens during RNA transcription in the body with respect to the vaccine".

XXXV. The overall scientific requirements for vaccine development were largely ignored, pushing the public's interaction with the vaccines into the realm of "belief and religion".

"All the essential scientific requirements have been mostly ignored in the development of the vaccine".

As a result, "all Arguments for the vaccine tend to relapse into a much older way of interacting with the world through belief and religion".

XXXVI. Religious and political leaders, from various faiths and parties, endorsed or mandated vaccination, leading to politicization of medicine and blurring lines between science, faith, and political loyalty.

Pope Francis "urged everyone to get their shots," and leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also received theirs.

Political leaders like Trump encouraged it, while Biden emphasized, "if you're vaccinated you're protected but if you're unvaccinated you're not".

XXXVII. The "95% effective" claim for vaccines was exposed as a "marketing ploy," with real risk reductions being significantly lower after excluding several groups from trials.

"Pfizer now says its vaccine is 95 effective and safe" was a widespread media message.

However, "all in all 95 was nothing more than a marketing ploy to trigger vaccine acceptance".

XXXVIII. Pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca) have extensive histories of large healthcare fraud settlements and criminal fines, raising questions about their trustworthiness.

Pfizer "has paid out over 10 billion dollars for offenses related to safety health care and government contracts".

Johnson & Johnson "has paid out almost 15 billion dollars for offenses related to safety health care and government contracts".

XXXIX. Fundamental institutional conflicts of interest exist within regulatory bodies like the CDC and FDA, as a major portion of their funding comes from the very industry they are supposed to oversee.

The British medical journal "highlighted the issues of conflicts of interest in the CDC since a major portion of the funding comes from the very industry the CDC is supposed to oversee".

The FDA "is not much better since nearly 75 percent of its funding also comes from the very industry it is supposed to regulate".

XL. The "Health Independence Alliance" proposes a new system to address the social disease of conflicts of interest by creating a parallel charitable health system, separating medicine from state and profit.

The HIA aims "to start fresh and create a systemic alternative a parallel charitable Health System".

It seeks to bring together "allopathy homeopathy naturopathy chiropractors Etc and encourages research and collaboration".

Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary – Analysis of COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout and Systemic Challenges

Prepared for: Health Independence Alliance Date: October 26, 2023

Executive Summary

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the YouTube documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary" by the Health Independence Alliance, which critically examines the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and the broader implications for the healthcare system. The documentary presents a series of personal testimonies from individuals, including healthcare professionals, athletes, and laypersons, who report experiencing severe adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination. These accounts highlight a spectrum of injuries, from debilitating fatigue and neurological issues to cardiac problems and rapid degenerative conditions, often occurring after mandates for employment or participation in activities.

The report identifies significant flaws in the scientific process underpinning the vaccine's development and rollout, including the absence of crucial safety, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity studies, along with a notable lack of long-term data. Data transparency was compromised, and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was found to be underutilized by healthcare providers and unanalyzed by regulatory bodies like the CDC, despite FOIA requests revealing alarming safety signals. The documentary argues that logical fallacies such as appeal to ignorance, circular reasoning, appeal to authority, and lack of falsifiability permeated official communications, replacing scientific rigor with belief-based assertions.

Furthermore, the report details how medicine became politicized and driven by marketing tactics, with religious and political leaders endorsing vaccination, and media campaigns using "one voice, one message" strategies that prioritized acceptance over full disclosure of risks. Systemic conflicts of interest are identified as the root cause of these issues, with pharmaceutical companies having extensive lobbying power, regulatory agencies (CDC, FDA) being largely funded by the industry they regulate, and the profit motive inherently conflicting with patient healing. The lack of liability for vaccine manufacturers and the government, coupled with "no jab, no job" mandates, is equated to a form of "medical slavery," eroding individual autonomy for a perceived "greater good".

The documentary critiques existing approaches, such as the "One Utah" program, as worsening conflicts of interest. It proposes fundamental solutions centered on a clear separation of powers in medicine, advocating for the dissolution of state agencies making medical decisions, removal of the profit motive through charitable models, and protection of individuals from mandatory medical treatments. The Health Independence Alliance (HIA) is presented as a new, parallel charitable health system designed to integrate diverse healing modalities, foster research, and provide alternatives free from these systemic conflicts, prioritizing patient well-being and true health independence.

1. Introduction

The documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary" by the Health Independence Alliance investigates the controversy surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine, aiming to determine its safety and efficacy through documented experiences and scientific scrutiny. The production features testimonies from individuals who claim to have been injured by the vaccine, including medical professionals such as doctors and nurses, alongside examinations of Utah law, relevant legislation, and peer-reviewed studies. The stated goal is to raise awareness about adverse events and encourage critical thinking for individuals to make informed decisions about the vaccine. This report synthesizes the documentary's findings, structuring them to highlight the reported issues, systemic failures, and proposed alternatives.

2. Documented Adverse Events and Personal Testimonies

The documentary features numerous personal accounts of individuals who experienced adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination. These stories underscore the reported severity and diversity of reactions, often occurring under circumstances of mandates or perceived societal pressure.

2.1. Experiences of Mandated Individuals

• Adrian Edwards, Miss Utah 2021: As a healthcare industry liaison, Adrian was mandated to receive the vaccine to keep her job, despite her body's sensitivity and history of adverse reactions to other vaccines like flu and pneumonia shots. After her second dose, she experienced extreme headaches (pain level 9/10), immediate brain fog, stuttering, and severe fatigue. Weeks later, at a national pageant, she had zero energy, difficulty breathing, difficulty speaking without being winded, and a severe neurological event where she went blank on stage, unable to remember her location or a close friend's name. She emphasized the severe neurological impact.

• Nicholas, Lab Setting Employee: Nicholas worked in a lab setting related to COVID tests, specifically with PCR. He was required to take the vaccines to continue working his job.

• Medical Technician: This individual worked at a surgical center and was concerned for their health due to underlying autoimmune conditions and frequent exposure to older people. Eager for the pandemic to end and believing the vaccine would prevent spread and preserve health, they were among the first in their organization to get vaccinated. After the second dose, pre-existing autoimmune symptoms worsened, and new severe symptoms emerged, including tremors so debilitating that within eight weeks, they could no longer perform their job and had to quit. They developed erythromyalgia, a rare condition that doctors initially misdiagnosed as anxiety. Despite experiencing approximately 40 new symptoms, many doctors refused to acknowledge a correlation with the vaccine due to a lack of data.

• Peyton, 20-year-old Missionary: Peyton received two injections because it was a requirement for her two-year LDS mission. After the first Pfizer vaccine, she immediately experienced extreme fatigue, difficulty eating, sleeping 14 hours a day, blurry vision, stomach pain, and constipation. Despite discussing these symptoms, she was given the second dose. The day after the second dose, she couldn't stop throwing up and experienced severe anxiety, developing an arrhythmia. Weeks later, she suffered uncontrollable shaking, chills, and hypothermia-like symptoms despite warm weather. Her condition progressively worsened, leading to an inability to walk up stairs, falling down stairs, extreme paleness, greasy hair, red and falling fingernails, severely swollen ankles, and painful urination with graphite-like, metallic-smelling urine. Urologists noted it looked like metal toxicity but had never seen anything like it. Doctors dismissed her symptoms as anxiety or ADHD causing bipolar disorder, attempting to institutionalize her in a mental hospital and prescribing strong sleeping pills.

2.2. Healthcare Professionals' Observations and Experiences

• Melissa, Home Health Nurse (RN): With 11 years of home health nursing experience, Melissa had a deep understanding of typical illness patterns. She cared for COVID-positive patients before vaccine availability without hesitation. However, she notes many people are hesitant to come forward about adverse events due to concerns about repercussions or retaliation.

• Cardiologist (Board-Certified): This cardiologist expressed early concerns about the original studies and lack of safety data. He observed cases of acute pericarditis in young, healthy patients shortly after the vaccine rollout. He notes a rise in "subtle myocarditis" cases, with patients presenting chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart rhythm issues for months post-vaccination. Critically, he observed that long-haul symptoms and recurrent infections were more prevalent in vaccinated individuals in his experience, contradicting another physician's view.

• Irene Ricks, ER Nurse: Irene, an ER nurse for nearly five years, felt the media made COVID-19 "so scary" that the vaccine was perceived as a "saving grace," despite discussions among doctors acknowledging the experimental nature of mRNA technology and uncertainty about its effects. After her first Pfizer shot, she experienced facial numbness and asymmetry resembling Bell's Palsy. Following the second injection, within 30 minutes, she started having palpitations and passed out at work, requiring an ER visit. Within two weeks of the second shot, she developed a lymph node on her neck that grew to the size of a golf ball, leading to a lymphatic cancer scare and eventual dissection. She also experienced hair loss, significant anxiety, and severe heart palpitations (PVCs), reaching a point where she had her manager sign advanced directives because she feared she was going to die, and had to tell her children about her serious condition. She heard co-workers express discrimination against the unvaccinated, with some even stating they "should just die".

• Physician (Primary Care, 32 years): This doctor notes a "vastly increased" number of injuries with the COVID vaccine compared to prior vaccines. He highlights fatigue, shortness of breath, and ongoing inflammation as common symptoms, suggesting a potential issue with "immortalized monocytes" causing continuous immune activation and blood vessel inflammation. He also states that the spike protein's targeting of ACE receptors in reproductive organs is linked to "dramatically decreased fertility" in fertility clinics willing to report it. He affirms that no other medication or procedure in his 32-year career has been "voiced upon the public" with such force, unlike even the influenza vaccine.

• Unnamed Nurse (friend of another testifier): Initially denied seeing any reactions but upon being prompted to look into patients' records, she was "absolutely floored" to find that almost every single case of neurological problems, strokes, severe muscle weakness, and vision loss she was seeing had occurred within one to two weeks of receiving a COVID vaccine. She realized she hadn't looked before because she was "so ingrained in thinking that it couldn't be that or we don't need to look".

2.3. Athlete and General Population Impacts

• Margo, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Support: Margo volunteered for the vaccine, hoping to end the pandemic. After her second shot, she developed severe fatigue, insomnia, and a bizarre "brain shaking" sensation upon falling asleep. Despite never having COVID, a neurologist diagnosed her with "long COVID," dismissing her negative test results as an "asymptomatic case". Margo describes reaching a point of suicidal ideation due to her suffering, stating, "I didn't want to take my own life, but I just collapsed and I cried and I said I can't do this anymore".

• Fred Roberts, Former NBA Player: Fred Roberts discusses the "damage that we have seen in the classroom from students wearing masks". He notes hearing from former teammates about adverse events and observed young college and high school players passing out or being unable to play due to "heart events or whatever kind of events they've had," including deaths. He cites the unexpected death of 20-year-old basketball player Derek Gray as an example. He states that such hard events in young athletes are being seen "much more often now" after vaccinations compared to historical occurrences like Reggie Lewis or Hank Gathers.

• Cardiologist (re: Athletes): The cardiologist also reported seeing "a couple athletes come in saying they could no longer compete because of their symptoms," including chronic chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and fatigue. He was "a little surprised" to see such issues in high-level athletes and ultra-distance runners, as side effects are more often "expected in the frail, elderly patients".

• Patient in 50s: A highly active patient, in his 50s, developed memory troubles, weakness, speech difficulties, and increased falling within a week of his booster shot, despite being a "picture of health". He was diagnosed with a rapidly degenerative brain disorder and passed away before Christmas, never meeting his third grandchild.

• Elderly Patient: An elderly man lost all strength in his legs, becoming unable to walk, was moved to assisted living, never fully recovered, and passed away eight months later.

These testimonies collectively present a narrative of widespread and severe adverse events, often leading to significant health deterioration, loss of employment, and profound personal suffering, with a common theme of medical professionals and systems failing to acknowledge or properly address these issues.

3. Critiques of the Scientific Process and Data Transparency

The documentary raises profound concerns regarding the scientific rigor and transparency surrounding the development, testing, and monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines. It posits that the scientific process was fundamentally flawed, leading to a breakdown of trust and an inability to accurately assess safety and efficacy.

3.1. Flawed Scientific Methodology and Lack of Critical Studies

• Decision to Ignore Safety Studies: The documentary alleges that no safety pharmacological studies were conducted by manufacturers, indicating an early decision to overlook fundamental safety assessments.

• Absence of Genotoxicity and Carcinogenicity Studies: Given that mRNA technology introduces genetic material, studies to check for toxicity due to genetic material (genotoxicity) and potential carcinogenic effects were not planned or conducted.

• Lack of DNA Interaction Data: A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the CDC in early 2022, asking for documents supporting that COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with DNA, received the response that the CDC had "no records of this documentation," implying a lack of evidence that DNA is unaffected. This is framed as a significant leap of faith, effectively marketing gene therapy to the public.

• Insufficient Data for Vulnerable Populations:

  • Pregnant Women: The FDA fact sheet stated that "available data are insufficient to inform vaccine associated risks," meaning effects on pregnant women were not adequately studied. Despite this, hospitals, "in direct contrast to the documents obtained from the manufacturers themselves," recommended vaccines for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

  • Infants: Data was "not available to even assess the safety let alone to determine the question of safety one way or another" for infants.

• Baseless Claims on Long-Term Effects: The COVID vaccines were developed within a year through "Operation Warp Speed," meaning they lack long-term data spanning many years. The Utah Department of Health's claim that long-term effects are "unlikely" and only the first six weeks are important is labeled a "baseless claim". Experts typically recommend waiting five years or more for new medications to assess long-term safety. The accelerated timeline, reduced from a typical decade or more to less than nine months, is highlighted as a bypass of crucial long-term observation.

3.2. Data Observation and Analysis Deficiencies

• Misleading Trial Results: Published results in the New England Journal of Medicine focused solely on preventing COVID-19 cases in vaccinated vs. placebo groups. However, the overall result showed "deaths were more in the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated". Physicians for Informed Consent highlighted a study of the trials indicating that "for every two covid-19 hospitalizations prevented 10 serious vaccine adverse events occurred," suggesting "clear evidence of harm not help".

• Failure of Pharmacovigilance (VAERS): The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is designed as an "early warning system" for potential safety issues. However, the documentary reveals:

  • Underreporting by Doctors: Several individuals stated that their doctors would not report their adverse events to VAERS, forcing them to report themselves.

  • CDC's Failure to Analyze: The CDC "had contrary to its promise done no analysis of the safety signals at all" from VAERS data, despite promising to conduct Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR) analysis.

  • Buck-Passing: The CDC declared it could not do data mining and passed responsibility to the FDA, which "in turn refuses to provide a safety analysis".

  • Alarming PRR Findings: When citizens obtained PRR data through FOIA, it revealed high PRR values (above 2 indicates an alarm):

    • Strokes: about 31

    • Heart valve issues: 33

    • Breakthrough COVID-19: 105

    • Death: 5.86 These are deemed "damning safety numbers for any vaccine," implying the agencies refused to look because of what they would find.

3.3. Pervasive Logical Fallacies and Lack of Falsifiability

• Appeal to Ignorance Fallacy: This occurs when a claim is made (e.g., "no evidence" of DNA modification) because "we have not looked". Utah health officials, including the State Epidemiologist, are cited for making such claims without providing references, despite being highly compensated.

• Galileo Fallacy (Refusal to Look): The documentary compares the situation to Galileo's contemporaries who refused to look through his telescope. A nurse initially saw no reactions but, upon being prompted to examine records, discovered an "uptick" in neurological problems directly following vaccination, something she hadn't considered before.

• Circular Reasoning: The CDC, in response to a FOIA request for documents on vaccines not enhancing virus variants, stated they failed to find records "because the vaccines do not create or cause the variants." This is characterized as "classic circular reasoning".

• Appeal to Authority and Bandwagon Fallacies:

  • The American Medical Association (AMA) and other medical professionals "simply depended on the FDA and CDC to monitor the safety," rather than conducting their own analysis, thus appealing to authority.

  • Academic institutions like the University of Kansas actively promoted "vaccine selfies" to create a "bandwagon effect," another logical fallacy.

• Lack of Falsifiability: The claim that "side effects are a sign the vaccine is working" without qualification (e.g., from Intermountain Health Care) creates a scenario where the statement "can never be proved false". The documentary questions if severe adverse events, disability, and death also "show the vaccine is working". This approach prevents disproving the vaccine's safety, as any negative data can be dismissed as "not finalized yet" or "science is evolving".

3.4. Lack of Transparency and Informed Consent

• Withholding Data: Reuters reported that the FDA wanted 55 years to share data from Pfizer's vaccine trials, hindering public access to critical information. Even released data contained redactions of "critical information" regarding RNA transcription. A court ordered the FDA to release the data sooner, emphasizing the legal and scientific value of transparency.

• Inadequate Informed Consent: A personal anecdote describes a pharmacy attempting to administer the vaccine without first providing paperwork detailing risks and benefits, and then being unable to articulate the risks when asked. Doctors were reportedly pushed back for suggesting providing all risks and benefits, instead encouraging the vaccine.

These critiques collectively argue that the scientific process was systematically undermined, leading to a situation where claims of safety could not be scientifically validated, and public trust was eroded due to a lack of transparency and an apparent disregard for rigorous data analysis.

4. Influence and Politicization of Healthcare

The documentary contends that the COVID-19 vaccine rollout transcended the realm of science, becoming heavily influenced by belief systems, political agendas, and sophisticated marketing techniques, particularly through media messaging.

4.1. Shift Towards Belief and Religious Endorsement

• Vaccine as a "Moral Good": The narrative shifted towards framing vaccine receipt as a "moral good" for the protection of society, children, and vulnerable adults.

• Religious Endorsements: Faith organizations, Jewish scholars, Muslim leaders, Pope Francis, and the Dalai Lama all provided endorsements, with some calling the vaccine "Halal" or a "godsend". Leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including President Russell M. Nelson (a former heart surgeon), publicly received their vaccines, further solidifying the perception of vaccination as a religiously sanctioned act. One individual reported her religious leader calling it a "godsend," leading her to get a booster with her husband, who then became non-responsive and passed away within a week. This highlights how "faith over fear" messaging, influenced by religious figures, impacted medical decisions.

4.2. Politicization of Medical Decisions

• Bipartisan Involvement and Rhetoric: The vaccine became a highly politicized issue, with leaders from both political parties initially expressing skepticism or advocating for rapid deployment.

  • Trump Administration: Initiated "Operation Warp Speed" in September 2019, expediting vaccine development and supply logistics, and encouraged vaccination.

  • Biden Administration: Continued vaccine deployment, leading to a federal mandate. President Biden publicly received his shot and booster, advocating for vaccination as a protective measure against COVID-19 and its associated restrictions.

  • Contradictory Political Messaging: Figures like Governor Andrew Cuomo initially expressed distrust if a vaccine were approved under the Trump administration but later advocated for it, illustrating the politicization of public health guidance. The debate often devolved into accusations of "playing politics with people's lives" and questioning belief in science.

4.3. Media Messaging and Marketing Strategies

• "One Voice, One Message": The documentary highlights the concept of a "one voice, one message" communication strategy, crucial for crisis management. This approach was evident in the widespread, consistent messaging around vaccine efficacy.

• "95% Effective" as a Marketing Ploy: News reports repeatedly emphasized the vaccines' "95% effective" rate, attributed to Pfizer and Moderna. However, the documentary argues that this figure was "nothing more than a marketing ploy to trigger vaccine acceptance," noting that the "real risk reductions" were about "one percent for Pfizer," meaning "you needed to vaccinate 141 people to prevent one from getting covid". This "marketing ploy" was further reinforced by major news outlets (e.g., CNN, CBS) being sponsored by Pfizer.

• Targeted Messaging and Influencer Utilization:

  • Local Research in Utah: Intermountain Health and Envision Utah conducted massive surveys to identify words and phrases with positive associations to "sculpt the right message" and influence the maximum number of people in Utah.

  • Positive Values Map: This research created a "positive values map" to craft messaging like "Vaccinations and boosters have been shown to reduce hospitalizations and deaths; they are the most important thing you can do to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community; vaccines work".

  • Trusted Influencers: The trustworthiness of "important figures in the community" like Angela Dunn, Mark Harrison, and Russell Nelson was evaluated to "wield the maximum influence on Utahns".

  • Public Asks: The public was urged to "stamp out disinformation" and "personally get vaccinated and encourage your friends". The goal was to protect the "most vulnerable people in our society and stop this pandemic".

This section demonstrates how scientific discourse was supplanted by belief, political maneuvering, and calculated marketing strategies, effectively shaping public perception and decision-making regarding vaccination, rather than relying solely on objective scientific evidence and transparent risk communication.

5. Systemic Conflicts of Interest and "Medical Slavery"

The documentary identifies deeply embedded conflicts of interest within the medical and healthcare system as the "root" of the social disease that surfaced during the COVID-19 pandemic. These conflicts are categorized into interactions between the medical industry and the state, and medicine and profit, leading to problematic mandates and a lack of accountability.

5.1. Untrustworthy Industry Players

• History of Fraud and Fines: Major pharmaceutical companies involved in vaccine development have extensive histories of legal offenses:

  • Pfizer: Paid over $10 billion since 2000 for offenses related to safety, healthcare, and government contracts, including the largest healthcare fraud settlement in history ($2.3 billion) and the largest criminal fine in history ($1.195 billion).

  • Johnson & Johnson: Paid almost $15 billion for similar offenses.

  • AstraZeneca: Paid over $1 billion for similar offenses. The documentary questions the logic of entrusting healthcare to companies with such track records.

5.2. Industry-State Conflicts: Lobbying and Regulatory Capture

• Pharmaceutical Lobbying: The pharmaceutical industry has one of the highest ratios of lobbyists to members of Congress, spending millions in the first quarter of 2020, creating a "clear conflict of interest embedded into the political system".

• Regulatory Capture: The British Medical Journal highlighted "conflicts of interest in the CDC" because a "major portion of the funding comes from the very industry the CDC is supposed to oversee". Similarly, nearly 75% of the FDA's funding comes from the industry it regulates. These are described as "fundamental institutional conflicts of interest" that infect the very foundation of these agencies.

5.3. State Overreach and Medical Mandates

• Dictation of Medical Requirements: The concept of "Public Health" is criticized for allowing "regulation oversteps into the dictation of medical requirements," leading to medical mandates that "cannot account for an individual situation" and cause "collateral damage".

• Lack of Precedent: A 32-year practicing physician stated he had never seen another medication or procedure "voiced upon the public that is claimed to be good for everybody no matter what the circumstance" with such force, not even the influenza vaccine.

• Suppression of Free Speech for Doctors: When the government "co-opts medical expertise," it can control doctors' free speech, threatening them with similar treatment as "alternative doctors" who have been attacked for decades.

• "Evidence-Based Medicine" Critique: Marcia Angell, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, is quoted as stating that "it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published or to rely on the judgment of trusted Physicians or authoritative medical guidelines" due to corruption within the system. This suggests the very foundation of "evidence-based medicine," as currently practiced, is flawed by financial incentives.

5.4. Profit Motive and "Curing Patients as a Business Model"

• Inherent Conflict: The profit motive creates an "innate conflict between the motive of increasing profits and healing patients," because "a patient healed is also a customer lost".

• Questioning Sustainability of Cures: A CNBC story reported on a Goldman Sachs analysis that questioned, "is curing patients a sustainable business model?" The report noted that "curing patients reduces the spreading of the disease hitting their all-important bottom line".

• Historical Examples of Harm: The documentary draws parallels to historical examples where industries downplayed dangers for profit:

  • Cigarettes: Big Tobacco admitted to causing lung cancer after 45 years of litigation, despite doctors once recommending smoking.

  • PFOA (Teflon): The industry knew of its danger but it took 25 years of litigation for public admission.

  • Radium: Touted as a cure-all, it caused horrific damage to factory workers, taking 15 years of struggle to acknowledge. These examples illustrate the "tragic poisonous result of an institutional conflict of interest" where "millions of lives have been silently lost".

• "Non-Profits" and Profit: Even "non-profit" entities like Intermountain Healthcare are criticized, with public disclosures showing their top 11 employees earning a combined $25 million annually, questioning their true non-profit status. These "non-profits" did not urge caution regarding the vaccine.

• Pandemics as "Opportunity": Pandemics are framed as "times of opportunity" for those looking to make money, suggesting that betting on stocks of hazmat suit makers or antiviral drug companies during a pandemic can be profitable, even with "mutual funds for pandemic preparedness".

5.5. Economic Persecution and Lack of Liability ("Medical Slavery")

• "No Jab, No Job" Policies: Corporations implemented policies requiring vaccination for employment, with examples from Google, Facebook, Netflix, Disney, and job listings on Indeed.com. This is described as "economic persecution" where "your job cannot depend on a jab". Individuals were told they would lose their jobs if they did not take the injection.

• Double Inquisition and Lack of Liability:

  • PREP Act Protection: The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, invoked in February 2020, protects manufacturers of COVID products from legal action until 2024. This means Pfizer and Moderna "can't be sued for money damages in court over injuries related to the administration or use of products".

  • Sovereign Immunity: The federal government (including the FDA) cannot be sued for approving or disapproving drugs due to "sovereign immunity," a principle tracing back to British law. This combination of protections creates a "modern equivalent of a double Inquisition," where "neither the state nor the industry has any liability for medical decisions," leaving those injured with "no recourse".

• "Medical Slavery" Comparison: The report explicitly compares mandated medical procedures as a condition of livelihood to historical forms of slavery, including chattel slavery, Jim Crow, and the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. The argument is that forcing individuals to undergo medical procedures "against your will" for the "greater good" is morally equivalent to historical justifications for slavery. Public health authorities are accused of removing individuals from medical decisions, focusing on the aggregate at the expense of individual autonomy. The inability of a nurse, trained for their entire life, to simply "walk away and do what work at quick trip" when faced with mandates, reinforces the severity of this comparison.

These systemic conflicts of interest, from financial entanglement to legal protections and mandatory policies, are presented as fundamentally corrupting the healthcare system, undermining individual freedom, and preventing accountability for vaccine-related injuries.

6. Proposed Solutions and the Health Independence Alliance

Recognizing the deep-seated issues within the current healthcare system, the documentary proposes a fundamental restructuring based on a clear separation of powers, critiquing existing "solutions" that may exacerbate the problem.

6.1. Critique of Existing "Solutions"

• The "One Utah Health Collaborative": Utah's "One Utah" program, intended as a response to the pandemic, is criticized for "further combin[ing] medicine, Pharma and state together," institutionalizing the "very worst of conflicts of interest". This initiative merges medical industry players (Select Health), corporate groups (Larry H. Miller), associations (Utah Hospital Association), and state entities (Utah Department of Health, University of Utah). The documentary asserts that this approach "worsen[s] it" rather than curing the "social disease".

6.2. Fundamental Solutions: Separation of Powers in Medicine

The core proposal is to undo the conflicts of interest by a clear separation of powers within medicine, creating healthy checks and balances and establishing alternatives free from these conflicts. This approach targets the root problems rather than merely managing symptoms.

• Separation of Medicine and State:

  • Dissolving State Agencies: All state agencies that make medical decisions must be "systematically checked, pulled back and dissolved".

  • Removing Conflicts: This would remove the conflict between individualized medicine and state laws.

  • Historical Precedent: Thomas Jefferson's quote, "was the government to prescribe us our medicine and diet our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now," is invoked to support this separation. Historical "medical Freedom journals" in 1916 also advocated for this.

  • Legislative Action: Utah's HB 233, an "education immunization modifications bill," passed in 2021, already supports personal and religious exemptions for school attendance, and the 2022 General Session expanded COVID-19 vaccine exemption potential for employees, meaning employers cannot mandate them without these exemptions. These are steps towards recognizing individual autonomy.

• Separation of Medicine and Profit:

  • Charitable Enterprise Model: A system is needed that "removes the monetary conflict of interest" and creates a "separation of medicine and profit". This envisions a "charitable Enterprise that supports both the doctors and patients" through "broadly sourced charitable funds," similar to funding for symphonies or churches.

  • Removing Corporate Mandate Power: This also explicitly means "removing all the power of a corporation from mandating medical treatment" so that "your job cannot depend on a jab or any other forced medical treatment". The documentary argues that the profit motive can erode true healthcare.

6.3. The Health Independence Alliance (HIA) as an Alternative System

The Health Independence Alliance is presented as a "new system" and a "systemic alternative" designed to address these core issues.

• Parallel Charitable Health System: HIA aims to start fresh by creating a parallel system distinct from the existing models of hospitals and insurance.

• Addressing Systemic Flaws: It seeks to be an alternative to:

  • Bias in medical associations.

  • Silos created by excessive specialization.

• Integrative and Collaborative Approach: HIA brings together and encourages research and collaboration among diverse health systems, including:

  • Allopathy (conventional medicine).

  • Homeopathy.

  • Naturopathy.

  • Chiropractors. The philosophy is that "the body's programmed to heal itself when you give it what it needs".

• Focus on Vaccine Injuries and Chronic Diseases: This network of independent practitioners can not only address vaccine injuries but also treat patients with chronic diseases from a "much wider perspective".

• Vision for the Future: HIA's goal is to learn from the lessons of COVID-19, honor and help those needing treatment for vaccine injury and chronic diseases, and establish a parallel health system for both patients and doctors. Further information and resources are available on their website, healthindependencealliance.com.

These solutions propose a radical shift from the current paradigm, emphasizing individual medical freedom, ethical practice, and a healthcare system driven by patient well-being rather than profit or state control.

7. Conclusion

The documentary "Utah: Safe and Effective? An Apolitical Documentary" delivers a strong critique of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, alleging widespread adverse events, fundamental failures in the scientific process, and profound ethical breaches within the medical and governmental institutions. The individual testimonies paint a compelling picture of personal suffering and medical gaslighting, where severe symptoms are dismissed or misattributed, often after individuals felt compelled to vaccinate due to mandates or societal pressure.

The report highlights critical issues, including the lack of essential safety studies, compromised data transparency, the failure of regulatory bodies to analyze adverse event reports, and the pervasive use of logical fallacies in public communication. The documentary further exposes how healthcare became entangled with political and religious beliefs, and how media-driven marketing tactics replaced scientific discourse.

At the heart of these challenges are systemic conflicts of interest, characterized by powerful pharmaceutical lobbying, regulatory capture, and an inherent conflict between the profit motive and patient care. The absence of liability for vaccine manufacturers and the government, coupled with "no jab, no job" policies, is presented as an unprecedented erosion of individual medical autonomy, likened to "medical slavery" justified by a vague "greater good".

In response to these deep-seated problems, the documentary advocates for a fundamental societal shift towards a clear separation of powers in medicine. This includes dismantling state control over medical decisions and establishing a healthcare system free from the corrosive influence of profit, replacing it with a charitable, patient-centered model. The Health Independence Alliance (HIA) is proposed as a concrete manifestation of this vision—a parallel, integrative health system dedicated to authentic research, collaboration across diverse healing modalities, and compassionate care for those injured by vaccines or suffering from chronic diseases, all while upholding the body's innate capacity for healing.

Ultimately, the documentary serves as a call to action, urging a re-evaluation of current healthcare practices and advocating for a future where medical decisions are truly rooted in scientific integrity, transparency, individual freedom, and an ethical commitment to patient well-being, rather than external pressures or financial incentives.
