This author refuses to jump out of an airplane.  I do not even like roller coasters.  I am not a thrill seeker.  Nonetheless I am going to write about mRNA vaccines with the same apprehension I would have if jumping off of a cliff.  This will likely cause me to lose a few friends.  As a retired Pharmacist, I believed most of the prevailing wisdom throughout the Covid lockdowns.  I have given thousands of Covid vaccinations during my career, because I believed in them.  

Here are some reflections on my experience during Covid. Although not a thrill seeker, I am also not prone to panic.  I vaccinated two nursing homes before vaccinating myself.  Neither myself or my wonderful team at Walgreens Pharmacy (Mansfield, Ohio) took any days off, and I was happy that my work life went on uninterrupted.  I recall watching people wear gloves to pump gasoline, people who wore masks while driving alone.  I objected to closing of public parks and other outdoor activities, especially playgrounds. On the other hand, I called a former associate who entered the nursing professions at the onset of Covid, who found herself holding hands with 40 year old otherwise healthy men as they died. I made an extra effort to obtain vaccine for my ex wife who was in a high risk situation.

My sister suffered from Bell's Palsy immediately after the being vaccinated.  This is a well known side effect, which resulted in a 3 month recovery time. 

I recall the Sturgis motorcycle gathering, and expecting and hoping it to cause a wave a Covid in red states.  But this did not happen.  I remember my brother questioning the vaccine, and agreeing with my sister that he was making a mistake.  I remember a young woman asking me if it could prevent future fertility, and my efforts to reassure her. 

I was fully vaccinated when I traveled to Thailand in the summer of 2022, when travel restrictions were lifted.

The Covid lock down began in March 2020 and the first vaccine was authorized in December 2020.  In August 2021 boosters were authorized.  

The federal government did not force school closing, but states decided to close schools beginning in March 2020.  Very few children were dying from at it's peak, and natural immunity persists much longer than artificial vaccine protection.  Schools should not have been closed.  

In May 2021, the CDC announced that vaccinated individuals could still be infected and in August 2021 – A PBS analysis emphasized that mRNA vaccines weren’t designed to block all upper-respiratory infections, making infection by SARS-CoV-2 still possible even when vaccinated .   

In May 2021 the CDC said that vaccinated people could not transmit the disease, but this was reversed. On July 27–28, 2021 – the CDC, with rising Delta variant cases, both the CDC and OSHA updated guidance acknowledging that fully vaccinated individuals could transmit the virus. They recommended indoor masking in high-transmission areas to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others.  This resulted in Covid boosters with the idea of having to adjust for variants of Covid-19.

During this time, it became apparent that Covid injections barely qualified as a vaccine, since they did not prevent acquisition or transmission, but we were told that the disease would be less severe, and still worth the risk.

Scientifically, the vaccine provides protection against the virus for a very short time, while natural immunity lasts much longer.  In fact, it appears that the vaccine may prevent a person from developing natural immunity.  

Having studied the lies of the American Empire for decades, I did not ever believe the official story of the origin of Covid, supposedly from a “wet market” in Wuhan,China.  Today, the CIA admits that the origin was the bio-lab in Wuhan, which was financed via Eco Health Alliance.  This was one of many bio-labs operating overseas during that time, with others in China and many more in Ukraine.  This fact was not officially admitted until the lock down had ended.  During that time, the government of the United States Empire actively worked diligently and effectively to suppress “conspiracy theories” regarding the origin of Covid.

The reason the government refused to acknowledge the obvious is that a bio-lab is actually a bio-weapons lab.  Scientifically, there is no difference.  The difference is regulatory and legal, not scientific.  Since the CIA funded bio-weapons research funded via Eco Health Alliance with government contracts officially from the Pentagon, and since the CIA did not want the American people to demand closure of bio-weapons research, it was necessary to lie about the origin of Covid.

In my opinion, the lies about the origin contributed to the population beginning to protest the mask mandates and forced vaccinations.  The lies of the CIA secret government have persisted since November 22, 1963, so most Americans were suspicious, thus contributing to suspicions of the effectiveness and necessity of forcing people to be vaccinated.  The population was confused and concerned but not convinced.  

In March of 2023, the FBI declared the lab leak theory “most likely”, but the government did not fully acknowledge this fact until April 2025.  

Many Americans believe that Dr. Anthony Fauci should be prosecuted for his contribution to the government response to Covid.  My view is that Fauci was aware and fully supportive of the CIA bio-weapons programs.  He did not have a choice, but like many American doctors before him that ran the CIA MK-Ultra mind control program, he would have convinced himself that supporting bio-weapons programs was the patriotic thing to do, and he was not about to resign because of it.  Essentially, it was part of his job description. This put him in the awkward position of lying about the origin, and dragging his feet when admitting to the other failures of the vaccine (acquisition and transmission).  I suspect also that the government suspected that the Covid-19 virus would kill more people than it did. In short, they panicked. I agree that the deaths from Covid at it's peak warranted some level of panic.   

I continue to blame my brother for encouraging me to read Robert Kennedy Jr's book “Fauci” which raised many questions.  I do not recall when I began following Steve Kirsch, but it was before I joined Substack in November 2024.  I find his work to be very convincing, and relatively easy to understand.  Recently, he points out that overall mortality rates were unaffected by the vaccine.  That is, being vaccinated does not prolong life.  On a complicated subject, this requires few data points and is easily understood.  

During that time, I read some of Matt Taibbi's work on the Twitter files.  He revealed the extent of government efforts to silence people on social media.  This is something I find particularly offensive.  In a land that is known for freedom, how can such a thing be fair?  Recently a documentary has been allowed on YouTube called “Follow the Silenced” which cements the unfairness of the governments suppression of freedom of speech on this issue.   

Conclusion:

> The government definitely lied about the origin of Covid.

> Bio-weapons programs run covertly by the CIA must be terminated.

> For too long, the CDC and WHO lied about the effectiveness of Covid vaccines.

> Schools and outdoor activities should never have been prevented.  

> Vaccine injured people should not have been silenced.

> No person should have lost a job or suffered other harm due to refusal to get an experimental vaccine. 

> MRNA vaccines are, by design, far too dangerous for widespread use.
