Taking the Covid-19 vaccination appears to be the modern form of Russian roulette, a lethal game played by bored army officers of Imperial Russia. Two days after the first COVID-19 vaccine was inoculated into a healthcare worker in Long Island, New York, two healthcare workers in Alaska who received Pfizer’s COVID vaccine experienced allergic reactions. One of those, a woman with no prior history of allergies, suffered an anaphylactic reaction and spent at least two nights in the hospital.

The reactions, similar to those experienced on Dec. 8, shortly after rollout of the same Pfizer vaccine in the UK, raise renewed anxieties about the potential for life-threatening reactions to the vaccine. Those concerns include the vaccine maker’s exclusion of people with severe allergies from the clinical trials, and the failure to pre-screen patients for polyethylene glycol (PEG), the compound suspected of triggering the reactions, before administering the vaccine.

An initial investigation into the allergic reactions experienced by the two UK healthcare workers identified PEG as the likely trigger for those anaphylactic reactions. In September, Children’s Health Defense’s chairman and chief legal counsel, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., warned the FDA about the potential for vaccines containing PEG, an ingredient used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, to cause severe allergic reactions.

On learning Wednesday of the hospitalisation of the woman in Alaska, Kennedy said: ‘When we warned FDA Director Peter Marks that the nanoparticles in this vaccine pose deadly risks from anaphylaxis, he suggested we take our concerns directly to the vaccine makers. We clearly have a systematic problem when government health regulators have utterly abandoned their responsibility to safeguard public health and refer to safety concerns about shoddily tested, zero-liability vaccines to pharmaceutical companies.’

Vaccine makers have zero legal or financial incentive to make their products safe, Kennedy added. ‘Let’s remember that Pfizer will make billions so long as it keeps its vaccine in play, no matter how many people experience life-threatening reactions,’ he said.

A spokeswoman for Pfizer told the Washington Post the company is ‘working with local health authorities to assess’ what happened in Alaska. She also told the Post that prospective participants in Pfizer’s late-stage clinical trial were excluded if they had a history of severe allergic reactions associated with a vaccine or to any component of this vaccine.

CDC guidance says people with a history of reactions to other vaccines or injectable therapy ‘may still receive the vaccination, but they should be counselled about the unknown risks of developing a severe allergic reaction,’ the Washington Post reported.

According to Redwood, PEG allergies often go unrecognized which means individuals who have no history of allergies, like the healthcare worker in Alaska, could have severe life-threatening reactions to PEG.

With plans to vaccinate tens of millions of people in the U.S. alone, Redwood is very concerned. She wonders how many people with no prior history of allergies are potentially at risk of a severe reaction to COVID vaccines that contain PEG.

Allergic reactions that have occurred in the UK and Alaska are not the only concerns that have been raised by medical professionals and other experts about the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines.

‘To imagine that Moderna’s unlicensed COVID vaccine, tested for under a year, will be safe is wishful thinking,’ Mary Holland, general counsel for Children’s Health Defense said. ‘There’s a reason vaccine producers insist on blanket indemnification from injuries and deaths.’

Holland is referring to the fact that vaccine makers, already immune from liability for vaccine injuries under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, were granted additional protection via the Declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act for Medical Countermeasures Against COVID-19 in March.

Children’s Health Defense has also reported on concerns about pathogenic priming, especially in older adults. Pathogenic priming is a condition that occurs in some people when a vaccine triggers autoimmunity, causing severe illness and or death.

Children’s Health Defense is calling for further studies on how the vaccine might impact on Blacks, who were not adequately represented in the clinical trials. Source
