The CDC just approved boosters for babies, for a strain of the virus that is extinct, just two days after Pfizer submitted its application. No, this is not merely experimenting on babies for a strain that is not dangerous for a broader virus that never clinically affected babies. We know exactly what these shots do to people — or at least the part we already know is not good. A new Rasmussen survey now shows that 7% of people experienced “major” side effects from a COVID jab, perfectly coinciding with numerous other data points, including the CDC’s own pharmacovigilance system.

According to the recent survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, 7% reported experiencing “major” side effects, 34% reported minor side effects, and 56% reported no side effects. That means that in the U.S alone, if this survey is representative of the broader population, 12 million people experienced major side effects, and at least 71 million experienced minor side effects.

Normally, people would dismiss a political pollster’s assessment of vaccine injury, but this survey of self-reporting vaccine injury almost perfectly coincides with the CDC’s V-Safe reporting program, which showed that 7.7% of those vaccinated in a massive sample of 10.9 million reported having to seek medical attention as a result of the side effect. Based on V-Safe and VAERS data, I estimated that close to 10 million people likely sought some form of medical attention for injury, which would harmonize with 12 million self-reporting a “major” adverse event. It’s also important to remember that this survey is obviously only of the living. Those who died from the shot are not captured in it because they couldn’t self-report.

Another interesting tidbit about this survey is that only 56% reported not experiencing side effects. That coincides perfectly with the poll from an Australian paper that found 44% of people regretted getting the shots!

The Rasmussen survey also harmonizes with the results of a Saudi survey of teenagers who got the shots last year. The survey found that 7% of recipients reported experiencing side effects for more than five days and 2.3% reported being hospitalized. Another Saudi survey found 7%-8% experienced chest pain or shortness of breath, while 9%-13% experienced fast or irregular heartbeat.

This new survey prompted respondents to reveal immediate injury. According to a Zogby survey commissioned by RFK Jr.’s Children’s Health Defense earlier this year, an even larger cohort indicated a correlation with more long-term injury: 14.8% of all adults in the Zogby survey answered in the affirmative when asked, “Were you diagnosed by a medical practitioner with a new medical condition within a matter of weeks to several months?”

It is unconscionable how after everything we know – in the words of retired head of vaccine R&D at Pfizer, Kathrin Jansen, “We flew the plane while we were still building it” – the shots are still not pulled from the market. In fact, last week, Pfizer got its baby booster approved in two days, and congressional Republicans didn’t even lodge a protest against it.

We now know from a Swiss study and a Thai study that at least 3% of boys (Thai study) and women (Swiss Study) had subclinical myocarditis several days after the vaccine and that an even larger cohort had inflammatory markers in their hearts. We have no idea how long this damage could last and when it could flare up. A recent study published in the Lancet found that out of 151 children diagnosed with myocarditis who had a cardiac MRI 90 days later, 81 of them still sustained some damage to their hearts, and the damage was of late gadolinium enhancement, which, as pediatric cardiologist Dr. Kirk Milhoan notes, “is associated with sudden cardiac death."

Yet it’s clear the public health officials knew about the heart problems from day one. A new FOIA’ed email from the Israeli Health Ministry to the European Medicines Agency reveals that they knew about the myocarditis threat in younger people as early as February 2021, before almost any young male had gotten the shot in the U.S.

Then again, the manufacturers and the U.S. government knew about problems already in 2020 during the clinical trials. We now know that people experienced heart damage in the clinical trials but were not recorded. One of these individuals, Augusto Roux, a Buenos Aires-based attorney who participated in the Pfizer trial, was on my podcast and said that Pfizer blamed his heart injury on COVID even though he tested negative for it. Clearly, the CDC knew something was amiss, because a new FOIA reveals that the CDC gave General Dynamics a $9.45 million contract to handle VAERS reports. Already in August 2020 when they signed the contract, they were expecting up to 1,000 reports per day, with up to 40% of them serious in nature. Indeed, the rate of reporting for 2021 was greater than 1,000 reports per day.

Two sources at the CDC sent analyst and serial FOIA warrior Josh Guetzkow two contracts the CDC offered for maintaining VAERS. What is clear from the contracts is that the price and hours had to continuously be increased to deal with the magnitude of the vaccine injury reporting. As Guetzkow notes, “Before the EUA of any COVID vaccines, the CDC anticipated up to a 600% increase over the average annual number of VAERS reports in recent years with 8 times the rate of serious reports.”

So, they knew about the problems before a jab was even put in a single arm commercially. Then, once the problem festered for a few months, the scope of injury overshot even their dire estimates. “In early March 2021, the contract was amended in order to process an estimated 115,000 backlogged reports received up to Feb. 28, with an increased capacity to 25,000 reports per week. The plan was to have the backlog cleared within 6 months.”

Interestingly enough, the contract with General Dynamics stressed the importance of VAERS as a surveillance system, which is illuminating given how officials have been dismissing the VAERS numbers for almost two years. “US Government considers … surveillance for any licensed and new vaccines through VAERS to be a nationally critical function, and … VAERS activity to constitute essential services for which any lapse in coverage of services would unacceptable.”

The CDC was sitting on reams of data from VAERS and V-Safe and many other studies we will likely discover they knew about from day one, yet they kept pushing the shots. They are still pushing the dangerous COVID jabs to this day, even on the most vulnerable population that has nothing to gain even if the shots worked and even if the variants were still dangerous to adults. The only thing worse than human experimentation is willful harm. How is this not the biggest scandal of our lifetime, and why is there no promise from Kevin McCarthy to investigate it?
