Just received the following email from a close friend today. He's an acupuncturist who' been watching the covid-19 vaccine story very carefully. He's mostly sharing his observations. It does appear however that adverse reactions may be more numerous and serious than what's currently being reported.
I have had a little hesitancy, as they say, with these new experimental gene-based vaccine-treatments. I’ve done my best to understand the 20 year history of prior coronavirus vaccine development (all failures) and how these mRNA vaccines are supposed to work; what was learned from animal testing done in parallel with the Phase III trials, and the adverse events recorded prior to Emergency Use Approval by the FDA; how the tracking of adverse reactions is being done (more not done than well done, sorry to say), and the slow progress in plans for better tracking (a system called BEST--but it won’t be ready for months at the earliest).
In the meantime, we’re on a wait and see basis. We feel well prepared in terms of proven methods of daily preventive medicine, and thus not too concerned about viral infection. High level Vitamin D/magnesium being the cornerstone, with zinc and a zinc helper, nebulized hydrogen peroxide—a substance the body makes--etc. I have been tuning in to people I know and their experience with the vaccines, not scientifically rigorous of course, just observational, yet it does track with what the Phase III trial results told us to expect.
One friend had a couple hours of visual hallucinations and a brain disconnection where she couldn’t type or think clearly for 20 hours, and now she’s feeling okay but skipping the 2nd shot; her partner had his whole arm go numb for hours; another friend had serious shoulder pain for two days. Today I had scheduled a call with a person I network with, and she was in the hospital with her father, who has been having periodic seizures since his first vaccine shot (had none before), but sadly the doctors didn’t even want to know that seizures had begun soon after his first shot. The graceful, energetic older woman who ran a local raw juice bar was forced to get the shots for her work at a long term care facility, and ... she regretted it, and looked horrible. And other folks are just fine. Not everyone has problems.
