Recently, social media has been  buzzing over the video of comments made
by Dr. Shawn Brooks at a meeting in a town in Ohio. Contradicting
messaging by the Medical Establishment in this Country that vaccines are
“safe and effective”, Dr. Brooks announced that within six months to
five years, those that have been vaccinated will begin to experience
“life threatening health issues”.  Over the past few days those comments
and a link to Dr. Brook’s statements on video have appeared in the
“Comment Section” of the Crescent City Times.  Since then, the video has been
removed.  Local naysayers are quick to label the video “tin hat”
material, not to be taken seriously.  The response from the Medical
Establishment, the Media, and Public Health has not been to dismiss it
with scientific evidence, but denigrate the messenger and repeat the
mantra, “vaccines are safe and effective”.  “Negative outcomes are rare”.

While that seems to satisfy those that hold vaccines sacrosanct and
inviolate, it continues to bring into question the invariable response
to anything that questions the sanctity of vaccination as the end all be
all for defeating the virus.  It also ignores the troubling details that
seem to indicate the problem has grown since the vaccines have been
employed in a one size fits all fashion.  It never the less has become
the “ONLY” tool in the toolbox for the Medical Establishment in the
United States and many other Countries, inspite of outcomes that have
appeared over the course of the Pandemic that should scream “wait a
minute here, not so fast”.

Over the past, now twenty months, the narrative that has been in the
fore front of Media talking points and many subsequent Public Health
pronouncements is that everyone needs to get vaccinated, at least 97%
according to our cognitively challenged President. Mandates have sprung
up in growing numbers through out the Country, yet the problems continue
to grow since the messaging to “get vaccinated” has reached a feverish
pitch.  The CDC and the FDA have begun to behave like political
operatives with propaganda and connections to “Big Pharma” that do
nothing to settle the questions and pronouncements being asked nor
reassure those that have reservations.  Science seems to have been “put
on hold” with conflicting information appearing almost daily.  Parts of
the Medical community in open revolt against forced vaccination.

Since Dr. Brook’s words created a fire storm on social media, the
response has come in the form of “his PhD is in Education, not Medicine,
his writings and publications are also in Education, not medical, and he
lives in Oxford, Ohio, and did not attend Oxford University in the UK”. 
Hence, his message has no credibility. This is normally followed by the
mantra “the vaccines are effective and safe”.  And then the defense will
typically trot out several academics with impressive pedigrees that not
many people have heard of which will repeat what they hope is the final
nail in Dr. Shawn Brook’s coffin, the verbiage with a range of
percentages of just how rare anything will happen to you if you are
vaccinated.  The problem being, for those that pay attention, is that
things are happening that do not conform to the verbiage.

It has long been established that numbers surrounding the Pandemic
cannot be completely trusted.  Deaths, hospitalizations, test results,
and total confirmed cases are in under stated announcements from the CDC
producing sufficient clues as to that fact.  Other sources of
information seem to confirm that the entire story has not been told. 
Reported health issues revealed in mostly anecdotal form appear to give
some possible credibility to Dr. Brook’s pronouncements. Yet, there has
been no effort by the Medical Establishment to offer a credible response
other than the mantra, “vaccines are safe and effective”.  This would be
fine if that were to be the case.   D-dimer test anyone?  After all, you
already been poked by a needle twice, what’s a little more blood?
