An Update Regarding the Coronavirus

This information is being provided on a periodic basis for patients and others interested in updates regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19, Sars-CoV-2).  Facts are provided.  My comments and opinions are listed separately.  The goals of these updates have been to help the community in keeping informed of issues regarding Coronavirus from a local medical perspective.  As a clinical immunologist, I believe it is vital that information be shared with regard to this important issue.  If you would like to receive this information via Email, feel free to Email us at aasc1234@protonmail.com .   Readers are encouraged to seek as much information as possible regarding COVID-19.  Your patience with any unintentional typos in these updates is appreciated!
 
Fact:
 
We continue to see some, but not more, cases of COVID-19 in our area as compared to last year.  Numbers of people with positive COVID-19 PCR tests is similar to last year at this time.  Peaks of COVID-19 occur quickly in a population.
 
 
Comment/Opinion:
 
Despite reports that over 50% or Michiganders are vaccinated for COVID-19, no significant changes in COVID-19 positive tests are occurring in Michigan.  This points to the lack of experimental gene therapy COVID-19 vaccination effectiveness.  Numbers of people with COVID-19 can be expected to decrease as the Labor Day weekend approaches, since COVID-19 cases rise and fall quickly.
 
Fact:  
 
The Centers for Disease Control of the United States are now recommending consideration of experimental COVID-19 vaccinations for certain populations.   The CDC also states that they plan to expand the recommendations for booster “vaccinations” to the general population.
 
The FDA has approved a formulation of the Pfizer experimental mRNA gene therapy vaccination for regular use.

Comment/Opinion:  
 
In one of the most direct examples of experimental COVID-19 gene therapy vaccine failure, the CDC is admitting that these vaccines have not offered significant benefit in preventing COVID-19. What is unfortunately the case is that these are not vaccines. A vaccine is a medical intervention, either with a live bacteria or virus or with byproducts of bacteria and viruses, that produces an immune response to prevent future infection of the particular bacteria or virus. If it does not do this, it is not, by definition, a vaccine. These experimental gene therapies are showing that they are not able to prevent infection or lessen the viral loads in people who have been vaccinated. An example of this was provided by the CDC itself in July of 2021. In that case, an outbreak of COVID-19 in Massachusetts revealed that 74% of people who were diagnosed with COVID-19 were vaccinated. Furthermore, the amounts of virus noted in nasal swabs of those who were vaccinated as compared to those who were unvaccinated were the same. 
 
The recommendation by the CDC is a reflection of this data. This data has also prompted the CDC to recommend the use of masks in both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. 
 
The race towards vaccination is confusing and does not seem to be consistent with data provided by the CDC. The safety of experimental COVID-19 gene therapy vaccines has been questioned with thousands of people who have died in association with the vaccine and millions who have had reactions to these vaccines. On August 20, 2021, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), maintained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, updated its data through August 13, 2021. Since mid-December, 2020, there have been 595,622 adverse events reported following COVID vaccination including 13,068 deaths. These are more deaths than all deaths reported during the entire 30 year history of the federal reporting system. In comparison, after approximately 50 deaths following swine flu vaccination in 1976, that vaccine campaign was immediately brought to a halt. This has been covered in other updates. Please see our previous updates or contact our office if you would like information regarding the safety concerns of these experimental gene therapy vaccines.   Based on the safety and effectiveness data provided by the CDC and FDA, this office cannot recommend these vaccines.
 
Fact:  
 
The Front Line Critical Care Alliance is a group of doctors who are treating COVID-19 and monitoring/updating their therapies as we gather new data with regard to changes in the virus that are occurring worldwide. They have recently updated their recommendations for prevention and acute treatment of acute COVID-19. These can be accessed at www.flccc.net.

Comment/Opinion:  
 
The Front Line Critical Care Alliance is an organization of dedicated physicians who are researching treatment for COVID-19. Their recommendations have been used in this office with significant success. Recently, they updated their recommendations due to concerns of the delta variant of COVID-19. This variant is more contagious but apparently less lethal. Nonetheless, this variant can make someone significantly ill and prevention/early treatment of COVID-19 is reasonable. 
 
Patients who are taking ivermectin as preventative for COVID-19 should consider increasing their dose to twice a week instead of every two weeks. It is unknown whether or not this will control COVID-19 delta variant symptoms as the delta variant is more contagious. However, due to the significant rise in delta variant cases worldwide, it is reasonable to consider this. 
 
Recently, doctors of the FLCCC discussed the possibility that new variants may be more contagious. There is also concern as to whether or not vaccinated individuals may be at increased risk for complications of COVID-19 infection due to antibody-dependent enhancement (pathologic priming) that has occurred in animals when these experimental gene therapies were tried. Time will tell. COVID-19, like other coronaviruses, tends to be more prevalent and more active in the wintertime. This office will be closely monitoring these developments. 
 
The possibility that vaccination could actually make one more susceptible to severe COVID-19 symptoms is a possibility due to pathologic priming. In this process, the experimental COVID-19 vaccinations actually make the body a spike protein factory. When a patient who has been vaccinated then comes into contact with live COVID-19, it can lead to the body attacking not only the virus but attacking any cells in the body that have genetic material from the vaccine. In this case, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s cells (that are producing spike protein) themselves in addition to the virus. This has been demonstrated in individuals who have received vaccination. Whether or not new variants will cause more of an immunologic response in patients remains to be seen. 
 
This further underscores concerns that many researchers have with the use of booster experimental COVID-19 vaccinations. These booster vaccinations could amplify pathologic priming and make the situation worse for patients who get COVID-19. There is ample research to show that the experimental COVID-19 vaccinations will not prevent patients from getting sick with new variants of COVID-19. 
 
Any patient who has COVID symptoms, especially if they have been vaccinated, should seek medical attention immediately. The use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine continues to be recommended. The dosing of these medications may change over time. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact your physician or this office for further information.
