COVID Vaccines Linked to 113% Higher Risk of Underactive Thyroid

By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. | The Defender | February 19, 2025

People who received COVID-19 mRNA vaccines had a 113% higher risk of hypothyroidism and a 16% greater risk of hyperthyroidism, according to a study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

The six co-authors of the study — four from institutions in Taiwan, one from China and one from the U.S. — performed a retrospective cohort study to compare the risk of thyroid dysfunction among a “large cohort” of people who received COVID-19 shots and among the unvaccinated.

According to the study, reports on long-term thyroid dysfunction following COVID-19 vaccination were limited. “Understanding the risk of subacute thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism in vaccinated individuals is crucial for post-vaccination monitoring,” the study noted.

The study used two equal-sized samples of 1,166,748 people each. The people in one sample received COVID-19 vaccines, while those in the other sample did not. Subacute thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism were the primary outcomes the study examined.

Patient data were derived from a database managed by TriNetX, a provider of “real-world data for the life sciences and healthcare.”

According to the results, the vaccinated had a 30% higher risk of being diagnosed with hypothyroidism 12 months following their vaccination. Those who received COVID-19 mRNA vaccines had a 113% higher risk of hypothyroidism 12 months after getting the vaccine.

There was no significant difference in hyperthyroidism among the vaccinated and unvaccinated samples after 12 months. However, people who received an mRNA COVID-19 versus another type of COVID-19 vaccine had a 16% higher risk of hyperthyroidism 12 months after their vaccination.

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a condition that occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It can lead to symptoms including a slowed heart rate, muscle weakness, weight gain, depression and memory problems.

Hyperthyroidism refers to an overactive thyroid, which can lead to overproduction of the thyroid hormone. Symptoms include a fast or irregular heartbeat, heart palpitations, tremors, fatigue, swelling, unintentional weight loss and changes in menstrual cycles.

The risk of subacute thyroiditis — an immune reaction of the thyroid gland often accompanied by an upper respiratory infection — remained unchanged in both groups after 12 months.

Results contradict findings of prior studies with shorter monitoring periods

The study’s results highlight “the need for ongoing thyroid function monitoring,” the authors said.

Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist at Children’s Health Defense (CHD), called the study’s results “earth-rattling.” Jablonowski said they contradict the findings of two previous studies, which found no link between COVID-19 vaccines and thyroid disease.

According to Jablonowski, those two studies also used large samples but employed much shorter monitoring periods — less than two months — compared to the new study’s 12-month monitoring period.

Jablonowski said:

“This paper stands as a warning to endocrinologists ‘highlighting the need for ongoing thyroid function monitoring’ for the vaccinated. For the greater scientific and medical communities the authors demonstrate that two months of observation … is insufficient for vaccine safety evaluation.”

A meta-analysis published in May 2024 identified a link between COVID-19 vaccines and thyroid-related autoimmune diseases.

Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher said the results of the new study raise “serious concerns” about the safety of mRNA shots and confirm the growing number of studies linking the products to serious adverse events and death.

“Recently, a study found that COVID-19 vaccination doubles the risk of post-COVID death in the long-term,” Hulscher said.

Hulscher suggested that the new leadership of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) “should initiate more large-scale studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated populations to identify other serious long-term health risks.”

Last week, the U.S. Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS secretary. During his confirmation hearings, Kennedy pledged that HHS would emphasize “good science” and “gold standard” scientific research.

Following his confirmation, Kennedy told Fox News he would seek to implement a better vaccine injury surveillance system. On Tuesday, during his first address to HHS staff, Kennedy pledged to subject potential causes of chronic disease — including vaccines — to “unbiased scientific investigation.”

Some U.S. states and at least one country — Slovakia — are considering proposed legislation or policy recommendations to ban mRNA shots, on the basis of their health risks.

A growing number of medical organizations and scientists have publicly supported a ban or moratorium on mRNA products.

The End of College Vaccine Mandates

By Lucia Sinatra | Brownstone Institute | February 18, 2025

With one stroke of his pen, President Trump accomplished what we have been fighting for over the last 4 years – an end to college and university Covid-19 vaccine mandates. He signed an executive order to halt federal funding to all schools, including colleges and universities, that still impose Covid-19 vaccine mandates on students. While there are only 15 colleges and universities left mandating these shots, the magnitude of his message to higher education leaders should not be underestimated.

Covid-19 vaccine mandates on healthy young adults were never based on scientific data or sound reasoning, but they were harshly implemented nonetheless. These policies coerced a captive population of students to choose between abandonment of their college programs and dreams for the future or complying with decisions over bodily autonomy made by the “experts.”

Beginning in the spring of 2021, colleges and universities mandated students to take shots that never protected against infection or transmission of Covid-19. These mandates were imposed with the mantra that injections were the best way to “protect our community” from severe illness and death – a claim that proved false by the summer of 2021 just prior to mandated compliance for fall 2021 enrollment.

In fact, colleges that never had Covid-19 vaccine mandates had less infections and have no recorded history of severe illnesses or death among their campus communities as compared to colleges that did. It was easy to analyze these data using the colleges’ own Covid infection and vaccination rate dashboards until most of them scrubbed the dashboards from their college websites.

Over 1,000 colleges announced Covid vaccine mandates by the summer of 2021. After a concerted campaign by No College Mandates and other advocacy groups, by the spring of 2022, colleges had slowly begun dropping them. By the summer of 2023, very few colleges imposed the mandates on faculty and staff, but students were still required to comply.

Until this executive order, which tasked our new Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to develop a plan to end these coercive policies, our nation’s entire academic apparatus seemed perfectly fine with the continued application of these mandates on students. For example, at CSU Dominguez Hills and CSU Cal Poly Humboldt, only residential students are required to show proof of Covid vaccination prior to enrollment. At Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore Colleges only students are required to take Covid vaccines. No other members of the college community must comply.

Coercive and mandatory policies such as these alerted many of us to the fact that student health was not at the forefront of administrators’ concerns. Somehow, they perpetuated the draconian notion that only students were to blame for spreading the SARS-CoV-2 virus and that only students must comply to put an end to the pandemic. College leaders knew such strategies were incoherent and illogical, yet they persisted almost entirely unchallenged.

From the very start, many of us lost trust in the hypocrisy of such inconsistencies. It was downright crazy for students to have to put up with such nonsense and risk injury from taking novel and needless medical treatments in the name of “protecting the community.” This is why we refused to stop shining a light on the injustice of it all.

It is with deep gratitude to President Trump and his team for keeping his promise and ending all federal funding to colleges and universities that continue these unnecessary and dangerous Covid-19 vaccine policies. There was zero science or reasoning to support them, and this new executive order might just prevent similar dictates from ever happening again.

But our work is far from done.

Healthcare students are still being forced to choose between their dreams and their autonomy to access hospitals and clinical facilities. To graduate, healthcare students must complete their clinical rotations, and hospitals and clinical facilities have required that these students take updated Covid vaccines even when faculty and staff no longer must comply. There is zero rationale for this patently retaliatory discrepancy.

In Florida, it is against the law for any “a business entity [to] require any person to provide any documentation certifying vaccination…or postinfection recovery from COVID-19, or require a COVID-19 test, to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the business operations in this state or as a condition of contracting, hiring, promotion, or continued employment with the business entity.”

When I called the University of Florida Nursing Program a few weeks ago, however, I was told students are required to receive updated Covid vaccines to complete clinical programs with some providers. Making matters worse, some colleges smugly refuse to disclose these requirements to prospective or even enrolled students, often leaving them to learn about them in the final year of their program.

Ironically, but perhaps not unexpectedly, UF Nursing posted on X just last week that there is a nationwide nursing shortage including in the State of Florida. It blows my mind that those who determine policies affecting the training of our nation’s nurses were somehow unaware that their coercive and nonsensical policies would likely lead to such shortages. After No College Mandates drew attention to this on X, UF Nursing deleted the post.

In Montana, there is a similar problem. Montana law prohibits discrimination based on Covid vaccine status yet the Emergency Medical Technician program at Helena College still requires students to take Covid vaccines to enroll.

I have reached out to representatives in both states to report the college programs that are not following state law because if there is anything I have learned over the past several years, colleges and universities will get away with these discriminatory and punitive policies for as long as they can until someone steps in to put an end to them.

It is uncertain what will happen to healthcare majors whose colleges and universities no longer require injections to enroll but whose clinical partner assignments are still requiring them to complete clinical rotations to graduate. So, while President Trump took a huge step forward to end federal funding to colleges and universities that perpetuate unscientific and unreasonable Covid vaccination, it is not nearly enough to end the coercive policies at partner facilities when the unreasonable and unconstitutional mandates remain for many healthcare students who need to complete clinical rotations at those facilities.

I would be remiss if I failed to mention that there are legislative efforts in at least 9 states* to completely ban mRNA shots. Such efforts promise to stop remaining Covid vaccine mandates dead in their tracks. Until we see those efforts make more progress, we will keep pressuring healthcare programs to end partnerships with hospitals and clinics when those facilities require students to receive Covid injections, and we will keep working with state representatives to hold clinical partners accountable for refusing to follow state law.

It is long overdue that our nation’s healthcare academies leave our healthcare students alone to make their own private decisions over what medical measures to take so they can pursue their dreams and help heal our very sick nation.

*On February 15, 2024, the Idaho Senate blocked the vote to ban mRNA vaccines so as of right now Bill S1036 is dead, and Idaho should no longer be on the map of 9 states.

Lucia Sinatra is a recovering corporate securities attorney. After becoming a mother, Lucia turned her attention to fighting inequities in public schools in California for students with learning disabilities. She co-founded NoCollegeMandates.com to help fight college vaccine mandates.

RFK Jr.: HHS Will Investigate All Possible Causes of Chronic Disease — Including Vaccines

By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. | The Defender | February 18, 2025

In his first address to his staff, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged to subject potential causes of chronic disease to “unbiased scientific investigation.”

“Nothing is going to be off limits,” including his personal past beliefs, Kennedy said at his welcome ceremony today.

On Feb. 13, the White House issued an executive order establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which Kennedy will lead.

Kennedy said today that as part of that agenda, he will direct HHS to investigate many possible causes of the chronic disease epidemic in the U.S.

“Some of the possible factors we will investigate were formally taboo or insufficiently scrutinized,” he said. “Those who are unwilling to embrace those kinds of ideas can retire,” he said.

Before and during his confirmation hearings, Kennedy came under fire from Democrats and the mainstream media for raising questions about vaccine safety. Today, he included the childhood vaccine schedule as one of the formerly “taboo” areas he planned to investigate.

Other potential drivers of the chronic disease epidemic the agency will investigate will include electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate and other pesticides, ultraprocessed foods, artificial food additives, antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs, a group of chemicals known as PFAS and microplastics.

Kennedy said he plans to convene stakeholders “of all viewpoints,” and to set study protocols in advance that won’t be changed when the results look like they will be “inconvenient.”

“Let’s all depoliticize these issues and reestablish a common ground or action and renew the search for existential truths with no political impediments and no preconceptions,” he said.

Kennedy also said he’ll work to remove “conflicts of interest” on HHS advisory committees in order to reestablish the public’s trust, Bloomberg Law reported.

17 State AGs Set Their Sights On Fauci

The HighWire | February 13, 2025

While Biden’s historical preemptive pardon of Tony Fauci protects him federally, 17 states attorneys are moving forward on holding him culpable legally on a state level for hiding knowledge on COVID-19 origins and pushing a poorly tested vaccine on the entire country.

Practising the Inexcusable: Vaccinating Children Against Covid-19

By Vasko Kohlmayer  | LewRockwell.com | January 23, 2025

“Pediatricians urge everyone to keep your immune system updated by getting the 2024-2025 COVID vaccine,” we read on Healthychilren.org, a website maintained by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Unbelievable as it may sound, there are still pediatricians in America today who vaccinate healthy children against Covid-19. They do this in the absence of any good medical reason for doing so. These pediatricians keep engaging in this senseless and dangerous practice even though data, science, and common sense clearly indicate that this should not be done.

To begin with, children are at virtually no risk of serious Covid. The infection fatality rate for ages 0-19 is only around 0.0003. This is a very low figure, indeed. Low as it is, this number includes all children, including seriously ill ones with weakened immune systems who are especially vulnerable to fall victim to viral infections. Thus, for healthy youngsters, the chances of dying of Covid are for all practical purposes zero.

As early as October 2021, the New York Times conceded that to healthy children “the danger of severe Covid is so low as to be difficult to quantify.” In other words, the risk is essentially non-existent. To give a sense of perspective, a healthy child is far more likely to perish in a car accident than to die of Covid-19.

Secondly, it is widely known that the Covid vaccines do not prevent transmission. Those who receive them are no less likely to contract Covid than those who do not. Perhaps the most glaring manifestation of this took place in December of 2021 when dozens of U.S. universities – including Yale and Princeton – had to close early because of widespread outbreaks of Covid-19 among their student populations. This happened even though – due to strict mandates – the vaccine uptake at those institutions was generally 96 percent or higher.

Not only do the Covid vaccines not prevent transmission, but some reiterations in their ever-growing series – we are currently at number ten – have had what experts euphemistically call “negative efficacy.” This means that people who receive the shots are more likely to contract Covid-19 than those who do not. This should make it clear that there is no public health utility in vaccinating children against Covid, since the vaccine will not stop or slow down the spread of the virus. If anything, it may increase the rate of its proliferation.

Thirdly, it is a well-established fact that Covid injections carry a range of severe side effects. A great deal has been said, for example, about blood clots and myocarditis in young men. As early as 2022 there were already more than one thousand studies and articles published discussing adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccines. This material had appeared in scientific and medical journals and publications and much of it was peer-reviewed. Below are some of the side effects of the Covid vaccines documented in these publications:

  • Blood clotting
  • Cerebral haemorrhage
  • Venous thrombosis
  • Myocarditis
  • Pericarditis
  • Myopericarditis
  • Lymphadenopathy
  • Acute thrombosis of the coronary tree
  • Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis
  • Anaphylaxis
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Thrombophilia
  • Guillain-Barré syndrome

What these clearly show is that the vaccines are far from safe. Quite apart from being ineffective, they are, in fact, very dangerous. The reports of injuries and deaths in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database have exploded exponentially since the introduction of the Covid injections. The reported side effects for these medicaments in the last four years well exceed the combined total of all reported events for all vaccines in the 35-year history of the database.

Many children have been killed or seriously injured by these unsafe, improperly tested substances. There have been, for example, dozens and dozens of reports of high school football players collapsing with heart attacks (see, for instance, here and here and here and here). Even though it was not unheard of for a high school athlete to collapse in the past, such events were relatively rare. The rapid explosion of these incidents following the introduction of the Covid shots shows their deadly nature.

Below is a selection of entries from the VAERS database of heart injuries to children following vaccination against Covid-19 (for a fuller account see the source article here):

  • VAERS 1199455: 17-year-old girl had difficulty breathing and chest pain, suffered cardiac arrest 8 days after 1st Pfizer dose, and died on April 10, 2021
  • VAERS 1225942: 16-year-old girl had cardiac arrest at home 9 days after 1st Pfizer dose, and died on March 30, 2021. Had pulmonary emboli
  • VAERS 1420762: 17-year-old girl had cardiac arrest 6 days after Pfizer dose, and died on June 23, 2021
  • VAERS 1431289: 13-year-old boy had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 17 days after 1st Pfizer dose, had large cerebellar haemorrhage, and died on June 20, 2021
  • VAERS 1693654: 15-year-old boy had cardiac arrest while driving a friend 10 days after 2nd Pfizer dose, suffered severe anoxic brain damage, on life support
  • VAERS 1702154: 16-year-old boy had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 6 days after 1st Pfizer dose, and died on Sep.1, 2021
  • VAERS 1796194: 14-year-old boy had myocardial infarction and pericarditis 19 days after 1st Pfizer dose and was hospitalized in ICU. Permanently disabled (did not recover)
  • VAERS 1828901: 17-year-old girl presented with chest pain and dyspnoea for 48 hours, 36 days after 2nd Pfizer dose, had cardiac arrest, and died on Oct. 21, 2021
  • VAERS 1830419: 16-year-old boy had cardiac arrest while running, after 2nd Pfizer dose, had hypoxic encephalopathy, permanently disabled
  • VAERS 1959638: 15-year-old girl presented with chest and arm pain, had myocardial infarction 1 day after 1st dose of Pfizer, permanently disabled
  • VAERS 1971636: 14-year-old girl had dizziness, headache, then cardiac arrest 15 days after 1st Moderna dose, same day brain injury, died in hospital on Oct. 10, 2021
  • VAERS 1991078: 14-year-old girl presented with dyspnoea, seizure, had cardiac arrest 8 days after 1st Pfizer dose, died Nov. 6, 2021
  • VAERS 2042005: 13-year-old boy had cardiac arrest 7 months after 2nd Moderna dose, and died suddenly on Jan. 1, 2022
  • VAERS 2152560: 7-year-old boy had cardiac arrest 13 days after 1st Pfizer dose, and died on Feb.16, 2022
  • VAERS 2264954: 13-year-old boy had myocardial infarction and pericarditis 3 days after 1st Pfizer dose, permanently disabled
  • VAERS 2398786: 17-year-old boy had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest 6 days after 3rd dose of Pfizer, and died on Jun. 22, 2022
  • VAERS 2458174: 15-year-old girl had a cardiac arrest after 2nd Moderna dose, and died (location unknown)
  • VAERS 2535782: 11-year-old boy had 3rd dose of Pfizer at 3:40pm; at 7:15pm, was found face immersed in bathtub, cardiac arrest, died 9pm, Dec. 13, 2022
  • VAERS 2543364: 14-year-old girl had 1st dose of Moderna, 16 days later had headache, dizziness, fever, then cardiac arrest, died on Oct. 11, 2021
  • VAERS 2582452: 12-year-old girl had acute myocardial infarction 5 days after 1st Pfizer dose, and died on Nov. 10, 2021

Tragic as this is, the entries above touch only heart attacks, which is only one of the serious side effects of the Pfizer and Moderna injections. In addition to heart attacks, these vaccines cause a wide array of side effects ranging from strokes to neurological damage.

One of the most poignant cases is that of Yonatan Moshe Erlichman, a lovely Israeli boy who was used as part of a state-sponsored TV campaign to push vaccines on Israeli children. Fully vaccinated poster child for the government’s effort to have all youngsters jabbed, the eight-year-old Yonatan suffered a fatal heart attack while in his bath.

Yonatan Moshe Erlichman, a poster child for Israel’s Covid vaccination campaign died of a heart attack at the age of eight.

Unbelievably, a similar fate was met by Santino Godoy Blanco, the poster child for the Argentine state-sponsored campaign to inject the children of that nation. This is what we learned about his tragic story:

“at the age of four, he died “suddenly and unexpectedly” in November 2022. Shortly before, he had been admitted to a clinic with a high fever and nausea. His death certificate states “bilateral pneumonia” as the cause; Even the Paul Ehrlich Institute admits in a “safety report” that Covid vaccinations can trigger pneumonia. Santino appeared on television as a telegenic animator for the nationwide vaccination campaign “Activá Vacunas.”

Santino Godoy Blanco, a young boy who was used by the Argentine government to push the Covid vaccine on children, died at the age of four.

To summarize the basic facts of the case:

  • Healthy children are at virtually no risk of serious Covid.
  • Covid injections do not prevent transmission.
  • Covid injections carry the risk of very serious side effects.

In light of these well-established facts, there is no medical, scientific, or logical basis to vaccinate healthy children against Covid.

The question is: Why, then, are there pediatricians in the United State who still needlessly inject young people with these dangerous substances?

Given what we know, vaccinating children against Covid makes zero sense. It produces no objective health benefits either to individual children or to society. It only exposes children to the risk of harm and, if anything, increases the possibility of transmission.

Vaccinating children against Covid flies in the face of the evidence, facts, and common sense.

Doctors who engage in this practice have no regard for facts, truth, or science. They are endangering the well-being of the children entrusted to their care. By doing this they violate the sacred principle of the Hippocratic oath: “Do no harm.”

Every doctor who continues to engage in this senseless practice should realize that there is a good chance that he or she will sooner or later either seriously injure or kill a child. These unfortunate children will have suffered for nothing, since from a medical point of view, these shots are useless. They are, in fact, worse than useless: they are outright harmful and dangerous.

Unnecessarily injecting healthy children with the mRNA substances that have an abysmal safety profile is an act of reckless medical malpractice. Doctors who do this are either willfully blind or worse. What they do is demonstrably wrong and harmful. Their actions are unconscionable and inexcusable.

The practice of vaccinating healthy children against Covid-19 must be stopped, because there is no medical, scientific, or logical reason for doing so.

Senator Ron Johnson Demands Meta Releases Records on COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Censorship

By Cindy Harper | Reclaim The Net | February 9, 2025

Senator Ron Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, has escalated his scrutiny of Meta’s alleged suppression of COVID-19 vaccine injury discussions, demanding that CEO Mark Zuckerberg release internal records detailing Facebook’s content moderation practices.

In a letter dated February 4, 2025, Johnson specifically questioned Facebook’s removal of vaccine injury support groups, including A Wee Sprinkle of Hope, which was described in the book Worth a Shot? as the largest such group in the world before it was shut down just five days after Johnson’s June 28, 2021, roundtable with vaccine-injured individuals.

We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.

The letter also reiterated claims that Facebook engaged in shadow banning, appended warning labels to users’ posts about vaccine injuries, and even censored private messages. One particularly tragic case cited in Worth a Shot? described a woman who took her own life after her private messages seeking help from fellow vaccine-injured individuals allegedly went unnoticed due to Facebook’s restrictions on message visibility.

The book in question: Worth a Shot? by Caroline Pover

Johnson’s letter followed recent remarks by Zuckerberg on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he acknowledged that the Biden administration exerted intense pressure on Facebook to suppress content about vaccine side effects. According to Zuckerberg, the government “pushed [Facebook] super hard to take down things that were honestly true” and even resorted to “yelling, cursing, and threatening repercussions” if the platform did not comply.

The senator’s letter outlined a sweeping request for documents, including records of Facebook’s interactions with government agencies, vaccine manufacturers, and third-party groups involved in content moderation policies. He specifically asked whether any federal entity requested the censorship of vaccine injury support groups and demanded details on Facebook’s policies regarding the suppression or removal of posts related to vaccine injuries.

Johnson has set a deadline of February 18, 2025, for Zuckerberg to comply with the request, emphasizing that the investigation seeks to uncover the full extent of the Biden administration’s involvement in what he characterizes as an aggressive censorship campaign in collaboration with Big Tech.

Dr. Charles Hoffe: Free at Last, but the Battle for Truth Continues

All Charges Dropped

Canary In a Covid World | February 6, 2025

Now, after years of relentless attacks, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia has dropped all charges against Dr. Charles Hoffe. It is a victory for truth—but a bitter one. His career, his practice, and years of his life were taken from him. The damage cannot be undone.

We are incredibly honored that Dr. Hoffe contributed Chapter 6 to Canary in a (Post) Covid World: Money, Fear, and Power (Volume 2). From the beginning, we knew he was telling the truth. His courage to speak out, despite the overwhelming pressure to remain silent, embodies exactly what the Canaries stand for—integrity, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

Dr. Hoffe, a small-town doctor in British Columbia, was one of the first physicians to sound the alarm on COVID-19 vaccine injuries—only to be silenced and persecuted for doing so. A true Canary, he saw firsthand the harm unfolding in his own patients, yet governments and health officials denied the dangers, doubling down on their “safe and effective”narrative. For his honesty, he was censored, stripped of his ability to practice medicine, and relentlessly attacked.

But he was never alone. Behind the scenes, many courageous individuals—including fellow Canaries Dr. Jessica Rose, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Pierre Kory—worked tirelessly to expose the truth and defend his integrity. Their collective efforts helped bring undeniable evidence to light, making it impossible for the authorities to justify their case against him.

In Integrity Under Fire (Chapter 6), Hoffe takes readers on a gripping journey through the harrowing events that led to his downfall—and his unwavering resolve to stand by his patients. He details the suppression of early treatment, the real-world vaccine injury patterns he documented, and the brutal pushback he faced for daring to ask questions. His work paints a picture of a global medical establishment determined to ignore harm and punish dissenters.

Dr. Charles Hoffe is not just an honest doctor—he is a hero of the people and a key figure in the global narrative that is now crumbling. He stood firm when so many others stayed silent.

But this battle is no longer just about truth—it is a battle to wake people up in the face of relentless propaganda. The forces that sought to silence him have not gone away. The same institutions that crushed his career still refuse to acknowledge the harm they have caused. If we do not stand up, if we do not speak out, this will happen again.

This chapter is more than just a story—it’s a warning. A wake-up call. A testament to the courage of one man who refused to betray his conscience.

Read his story. Share his truth. Wake others up.

Johnson Subpoenas HHS for COVID Vaccine Safety Records, Fauci Emails

By Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D. | The Defender | February 3, 2025

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) last week subpoenaed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for COVID-19 vaccine safety records and communications about the COVID-19 pandemic, including a subset of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails.

HHS is required to produce the requested data and communications by Feb. 18. Johnson told The Defender it’s imperative that HHS comply promptly.

Johnson said:

“The federal government is supposed to serve the American people. Our taxes pay the bureaucrats’ salaries and fund their activities and studies. The results belong to the public and should be made available to us in a timely and transparent manner.

“Bureaucrats who withhold information only raise suspicion and reduce the credibility and integrity of their agencies.”

This was the first subpoena Johnson issued after being named chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on Jan. 21.

During the Biden administration, Johnson wrote more than 70 congressional oversight letters to HHS officials and its health agencies requesting information on COVID-19 vaccine adverse events and related communications, according to a Jan. 29 press release.

Biden HHS officials “either completely ignored or inadequately addressed” the requests.

Johnson said in a statement:

“In the waning days of the Biden administration and after years of obstructing my oversight efforts, I warned HHS officials that when I become chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, I will subpoena records and data on the COVID-19 pandemic that have been inappropriately withheld from Congress and the American people for far too long.”

The subpoena requires HHS to hand over:

  1. Previously withheld or heavily redacted communications about the pandemic, including Fauci’s emails, including but not limited to the approximately 50 pages of his emails that were withheld from Johnson’s office since September 2021.
  2. Safety surveillance data on the COVID-19 vaccines, including proportional reporting ratios and empirical Bayesian data mining.
  3. Unredacted records previously released through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding the government’s awareness of myocarditis and pericarditis cases in post-vaccinated individuals.
  4. Data and records relating to COVID-19 vaccine lots associated with higher rates of adverse events.
  5. Order forms and receipts showing government researchers purchasing DNA sequences from a biotechnology company.
  6. All communications relating to HHS’ receipt of and response (or lack thereof) to Johnson’s oversight letters between January 2021 and the present.

Risa Evans, an attorney for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), applauded Johnson’s efforts.

CHD has filed multiple FOIA requests to obtain records from HHS agencies including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) relating to the agencies’ monitoring of COVID-19 vaccine safety and injuries.

“The agencies have responded to our FOIA requests with delays, denials and redactions,” Evans said, “and we’ve been forced to sue to obtain records that, in truth, should be made public as a matter of course.”

Evans called the agencies’ lack of transparency “unconscionable — especially given the federal government’s relentless promotion of COVID-19 vaccination, coupled with claims that safety is being vigilantly monitored by the agencies and denials that the shots cause harm.”

Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist at CHD, said:

“Time is washing away the knowledge of how the government’s monitoring of COVID-19 vaccine safety went wrong, and the fingerprints of the wrongdoers. Promptly responding to Senator Johnson’s subpoena may preserve enough knowledge to ensure the betrayal never happens again.”

FDA partially responds to CHD’s FOIA request

Some documents referenced in Johnson’s subpoena have already been released, Evans said. For example, on Jan. 10, the FDA posted emails about its safety surveillance of COVID-19 vaccines using empirical Bayesian data mining.

Empirical Bayesian data mining is a method of analyzing vaccine injury reports, Jablonowski said.

The FDA provided the emails to CHD and posted them on the agency’s website one day after the agency objected to a motion filed by CHD in federal court about a 2023 FOIA lawsuit. CHD sued the FDA after it failed to respond to CHD’s FOIA request for the documents.

Other groups and individuals — including Johnson, The Epoch Times and the Informed Action Consent Network — had also FOIAed the FDA for the same safety surveillance data.

On Jan. 10, the FDA sent CHD a letter explaining that it was posting the emails as a “partial reply” to CHD’s FOIA request.

In its FOIA request, CHD had asked for “records of any Empirical Bayesian data mining” that the FDA conducted and “records of any sharing or discussion of results and signals with the CDC.” The emails posted by the FDA showed some of those records.

However, CHD in its FOIA request also asked for records related to “consultations by FDA and/or CBER [the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research] with VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System] staff within the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office in connection with any signal that was detected.”

“The FDA still hasn’t responded to other key parts of our request,” Evans said. “In particular, it hasn’t provided records of the follow-up investigation the agency said it would conduct if it detected potential safety signals.”

Emails reveal FDA failed to detect safety signals

The emails released by the FDA revealed that in the first 18 months of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the FDA’s monitoring of VAERS showed consistent alerts for serious adverse events, including death, for the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine.

VAERS, co-managed by CDC and FDA, is a “passive” monitoring system that accepts reports of adverse events experienced after vaccination.

Meanwhile, the FDA’s monitoring found almost no safety signals for the Moderna and Pfizer shots, failing to detect signals even for widely recognized risks like myocarditis, pericarditis and anaphylaxis.

According to Jablonowski’s analysis of the emails, the FDA and CDC were never sufficiently looking for safety signals, despite all the “posturing” the agencies did around the COVID-19 vaccines’ safety.

The FDA and CDC’s “willful ignorance” of the adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination is an “epic betrayal,” Jablonowski said.

Here’s How Much Senate’s Loudest RFK Jr Critics Have Been Paid by Big Pharma

By Ilya Tsukanov – Sputnik – 02.02.2025

The fiery viral exchange between RFK Jr and Senator Bernie Sanders on Big Pharma money in politics has cast a new light on the Trump HHS pick’s uphill confirmation battle.

Among senators grilling Kennedy hardest in this week’s grueling confirmation hearings, here’s who’s gotten the most pharma money via PAC contributions and employee donations between 1990-2024, per calculations by OpenSecrets:

  • Bernie Sanders: $1.9 mln
  • Ralph Warnock: $1.76 mln
  • Patty Murray: $1.6 mln
  • Chuck Schumer: $1.55 mln
  • Elizabeth Warren: $1.2 mln. Ironic that she’s recently accused Kennedy of “profiting from anti-vaccine conspiracies.”
  • Ron Wyden: $1.2 mln
  • Bill Cassidy: $1.2 mln
  • Mark Warner: $654,000
  • Maggie Hassan: $467,000
  • Catherine Cortez Masto: $537,000

Bipartisan Consensus

And it’s not just Democrats. OpenSecrets records, which have 307 names on file, show former GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell got $2 mln, Mitt Romney $3.3 mln, Richard Burr $1.6 mln, the late John McCain $1.4 mln, Bill Cassidy $1.2 mln, and Roy Blunt, John Cornyn and Tim Scott $1.1 mln each over the past three-and-a-half decades.

A 2021 STAT study found that over two-thirds of Congress got a pharma check in 2020, with Pfizer alone contributing to 228 federal campaigns and over 1,000 state races. By last August alone, Big Pharma’s 2024 election PAC war chests hit $37 mln, per BioSpace.

Besides lobbying, lawmakers have taken advantage of their jobs to get rich off pharma-related insider trading, with a 2021 Business Insider report finding that 75 made timely investments into the federal Covid response.

Then there’s the combined payouts of healthcare industry, which includes pharma but also insurance, medical device suppliers, etc.

By these accounts, Sanders alone got $23+ mln since 1990, Warnock $14.7 mln, Warren $10.4 mln, Wyden $6.7 mln, Tim Kaine $3.3 mln, Ed Markey $2.3 mln, Patty Murray $5.8 mln, Tammy Baldwin $4.9 mln, etc.

Media Onboard Too

Major outlets aren’t running anti-RFK hit pieces for free. Dr. Leana Wen, author of a recent WaPo piece trashing Kennedy, received over $1.1 mln from Big Pharma over her career.

In 2021, MintPress News calculated that active Big Pharma cheerleader Bill Gates has given nearly $320 mln to media over the years to ensure favorable coverage of himself and the initiatives he’s pushing, including as it relates to the pharmaceutical industry.

Will Any Federal Officials Pay for What They Did?

By James Bovard | The Libertarian Institute | December 31, 2024

The biggest scientific con of the century is finally being exposed. But will any politicians or government officials ever be held responsible for the carnage they unleashed on Americans?

In early 2020, when the Covid pandemic was starting to ravage America, federal bureaucrats and politicians rushed to suppress any suggestion that the pandemic originated from a Chinese government lab bankrolled by US government agencies. Key Biden administration officials effectively exonerated the Chinese government even though the Chinese completely stonewalled any outside investigation into the origin of the Covid virus, as the Wall Street Journal recently revealed in a front-page scoop.

The FBI’s top expert concluded that the virus leaked from the lab but he was derailed by the Biden administration, blocked from presenting his evidence at a key White House meeting in August 2021. Three scientists at the National Center for Medical Intelligence, part of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, concluded that Covid leaked from a lab but they were muzzled. The Inspector General is conducting an investigation to determine why those experts were silenced. The Department of Energy also concluded that Covid originated in a lab. In September 2023, a senior CIA analyst told a Congressional committee that six key CIA analysts had been bribed by the agency to abandon their conclusion that Covid originated in a lab leak.

The Chinese government first admitted that a pandemic had broken out in the city of Wuhan in early 2020. Though the Chinese military-affiliated Wuhan Institute of Virology had been experimenting with bats for years, the Chinese government insisted the new virus came from a nearby marketplace. But the lead scientists involved with bat research had all been struck down by Covid-19 symptoms shortly before the Chinese government denied any responsibility. There was a deluge of circumstantial evidence quickly linking the new virus to the lab.

The outbreak of Covid-19 spurred one of the most brazen cover-ups in modern US history. The National Institute for Health had been financing gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That type of research seeks to genetically alter organisms to enable the spread of viruses into new species. Such research is extremely dangerous; as MIT professor Kevin Esvelt asked in 2021, “Why is anyone trying to teach the world how to make viruses that could kill millions of people?” The risks were compounded because the Wuhan Institute had a very poor safety rating. Two years earlier, the State Department confidentially “warned other federal agencies about safety issues at Wuhan labs studying bat Covid,” but the public disclosure of that alert was delayed until 2022.

In January 2020, top federal scientists recognized that the pandemic could obliterate their reputations. Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes for Health, wrote in an email that “a swift convening of experts in a confidence-inspiring framework is needed or the voices of conspiracy will quickly dominate, doing great potential harm to science and international harmony.” The “conspiracy” was the facts of the matter.

Anthony Fauci, the chief of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), speedily enlisted a handful of trusted scientists to gin up a paper supposedly “proving” that the virus could not have originated in the lab. A top NIAID scientist accepted the task of debunking the lab-leak story because, as he emailed a colleague, “Tony doesn’t want his fingerprints on origin stories.” The Lancet, one of the most respected medical journals in the world, enlisted in the cover-up with an op-ed by 27 scientists who proclaimed: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that Covid-19 does not have a natural origin.” Maybe the same scientists also sent an addendum to NIH: Keep giving us grant money or your reputation will “swim with the fishes.”

Further “proof” was provided by a torrent of accusations of racism against anyone who publicly suggested that the virus originated in a Chinese lab. The State Department’s Global Engagement Center added a federal fist to the debate, pressuring Twitter to suppress hundreds of thousands of accounts (including thousands of average Americans) in early 2020 for the crime of suggesting that Covid originated in a lab. Bureaucrats secretly decided that wildly exaggerated forecasts of pandemic mortality made the First Amendment null and void.

If Covid-19 had been initially recognized as the result of one of the biggest government boondoggles in history, it would have been far more difficult for American politicians and government scientists to pirouette as saviors as they seized sway over daily life.

The virus that the NIH financed provided push-button dictatorial power to politicians at every level of government. In the name of saving lives, politicians entitled themselves to destroy an unlimited number of livelihoods. Most governors responded to Covid-19 by dropping the equivalent of a Reverse Neutron Bomb — something that destroys the economy while leaving human beings unharmed. But the only way to assume people were uninjured was to presume that their lives were totally detached from their jobs, bank accounts, mortgage and rent payments, and friends and family.

A virus with a 99+% survival rate spawned a 100% presumption in favor of despotism. From the start of the pandemic, many people who swore allegiance to “science and data” also believed that absolute power would keep them safe. Doubters became dissidents who deserved to be covertly silenced.

Shutdown advocates appealed to science like righteous priests invoking God and the Bible to sanctify scourging enemies. But the “science” was often farcically unreliable. Mandatory mask mandates became the new version of the Emancipation Proclamation. Fauci and other top officials deceived Americans into believing that cloth masks offered far more protection than they delivered. Do Americans finally recognize that the federal government was the biggest source of disinformation during the pandemic?

A century ago, historian Henry Adams declared that politics has “always been the systematic organization of hatreds.” Covid-19 policies were so disruptive in part because politicians intentionally sought to maximize fear and rage against anyone who refused to submit to any dictate. After the efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccines collapsed, Biden responded by dictating that a hundred million American adults must get injected based on his personal decree.

A few weeks later at a CNN town hall, Biden derided vaccine skeptics as murderers who only wanted “the freedom to kill you” with Covid. A few months later, a Rasmussen poll found that 59% of Democratic voters favored house arrest for the unvaccinated, and 45% favored locking the unvaxxed into government detention facilities. Almost half of Democrats favored empowering the government to “fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing Covid-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.” But hatred proved to be as ineffective as the Pfizer vaccine when it came to fighting Covid-19.

Fauci, who was also Biden’s chief medical advisor, justified Covid mandates because average citizens “don’t have the ability” to determine what is best for them. But Congressional investigations revealed that Fauci was at the center of string-pulling to shirk responsibility for the Wuhan debacle. After Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) suggested prosecuting Fauci for false testimony on bankrolling “gain-of-function” research, Fauci howled that his critics are “really criticizing science because I represent science. That’s dangerous.” But not nearly as dangerous as vesting vast power in secretive federal agencies.

On September 20, 2023, the Biden administration belatedly banned the Wuhan Institute of Virology from receiving any US government research funding for 10 years as punishment for its unauthorized gain-of-function experiments on bat coronaviruses. But why did the Biden administration omit the same condemnation and similar prohibitions from any American scientist, institute, or government officials that had any role in this debacle?

Instead of Tony Fauci bobbleheads, the slogan “Your Government at Work” superimposed atop a million American caskets captured the reality of Covid-19.

World Council for Health responds to the US Government’s proposed withdrawal from the WHO

World Council for Health | January 22, 2025

The recent decision of the United States government to announce an intended withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) marks a significant shift in international relations and health policy. This move comes amid ongoing debates about the WHO’s role in managing global health crises, financial transparency, and influence on national sovereignty.

Introduction to World Council for Health

In 2021,the World Council for Health (WCH) emerged as a prominent organization that challenges the WHO’s pervasive and damaging influence. The WCH is a coalition of independent health organizations, medical professionals, and advocacy groups that emphasizes a more decentralized, holistic, and patient-centered approach to health care. It advocates for local health sovereignty, individual choice, and the decentralization of power away from large international organizations like the WHO. The WCH has been particularly vocal about opposing what it sees as the WHO’s overreach, particularly in terms of its management of public health policies during crises like the COVID-19 chapter, while ignoring real health issues like heart health, cancer, diabetes, and mental health.

A better way forward for health, rooted in our Better Way Principles, would focus on strengthening local and national health systems, ensuring that decision-making is transparent, accountable, and driven by scientific evidence rather than political or financial interests. This approach would involve greater collaboration between governments, health professionals, and communities, rather than relying on a centralized body like the WHO to dictate policy internationally. By prioritizing national sovereignty, autonomy, and local expertise, a more resilient and responsive international health framework can be developed, one that respects individual freedoms and prioritizes people over institutional power.

A. Concerns about WHO’s monopoly through Collaborating Centres

Our extensive research has revealed WHO collaborating centres in the US, including the CDC and the NIH. As a matter of urgency and priority, to effectively exit the World Health Organization, it is essential to have both critical awareness and transparent knowledge of the arguably binding agreements made between the secretive USA WHO Collaborating Centres and USA GOARN Partner Institutions, with the World Health Organization.

To truly exit the WHO, we must acknowledge the vast network and reach of the designated WHO Collaborating Centres and GOARN Partner Institutions. We must investigate the potential conflicts of interest in public – private collaborations / collaborations that may exist, which affect the delivery of the ultimate healthcare available for the people and the planet.

World Council for Health calls for an Urgent Independent International Review / Investigation of the World Health Organization and its established collaborations and ‘binding’ agreements with WHO Collaborating Centres. This is an essential requirement to assess an honest and transparent benefit and risk of WHO policies being utilised in and against sovereign nations through these established WHO networks. WCH is ready to advise.

B. WCH Country Councils leading the way for health freedom

WCH has established over 30 and growing independent Country Councils around the world.

These Country Councils are linked to over 200 local advocacy organisations in the fields pertinent to health, including medical choice and rights, 5G, sexual engineering, food supplies, agribusiness and climate ‘change’, all of which are tools being used by shadowy globalist corporations to usurp rights and freedoms of people around the world.

These Country Councils and allied grass-roots organisations are a critical counterbalance to the WHO and its puppeteers, advocating for a new, human and planetary wellbeing-focused vision for health care, prioritising the well-being and human rights of men, women and children. Country Councils are driven by ethical individuals, standing together to create the new healthcare paradigm, rooted in transparency and autonomy. This by definition includes freedom and sovereignty. Our country councils recognise that peace is central to health.

C. Our Legal Briefs and Policy Briefs

The WCH published a groundbreaking Legal Brief on Preventing the Abuse of Public Health Emergencies. It explains how governments used the declaration of an unjustifiable state of emergency as a legal instrument to deny people their basic human rights and freedoms and grant themselves extraordinary powers. WCH also published comprehensive policy briefs on Rejecting Monopoly Power Over Global Public Health, as well as Effects of Unregulated Digitalization on Health and Democracy, and Human Trafficking: A Call for Action

Our Resources Include:

Cooperation is the key to achieving shared goals

The WCH recognises the intention of the US government to withdraw from the WHO, urges investigation into the WHO’s collaborating centres, and is open to engage around the work of our country councils, our legal and policy briefs, and our pioneering detox study and guide.
