Hospitals also are not gathering data on COVID jab injuries in any other ways, so there\u2019s no data to investigate even if you wanted to. According to Martin:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWe are not just seeing severe acute [short term] reactions with this vaccine, but we have zero idea what any long-term reactions are.

As noted by Rose, the average number of adverse event reports following vaccination for the past 10 years has been about 39,000 annually, with an average of 155 deaths. That\u2019s for all available vaccines combined.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID jabs alone now account for 983,756 adverse event reports as of December 17, 2021, including 20,622 deaths<sup><span id=\"edn3\" data-hash=\"#ednref3\">3<\/span><\/sup> \u2014 and this doesn\u2019t include the underreporting factor, which we know is significant and likely ranges from five to 40 times higher than reported. Most doctors and nurses don\u2019t even know what VAERS is and even if they do, they chose not to report the incidents.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t even compare the COVID shots to other vaccines. They\u2019re by far the most dangerous injections ever created, yet there doesn\u2019t appear to be a cutoff for acceptable harm. No one within the CDC or Food and Drug Administration, which jointly run VAERS, has addressed these shocking numbers. Both agencies outrageously deny that a single death can be attributed to the COVID jabs, which is simply impossible. It\u2019s not statistically plausible.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA and CDC are also ignoring standard data analyses that can shed light on causation. It\u2019s known as the Bradford Hill criteria \u2014 a set of 10 criteria that need to be satisfied in order to show strong evidence of causal relationship. One of the most important of these criteria is temporality, because one thing has to come before the other, and the shorter the duration between two events, the higher the likelihood of a causative effect.<\/p>\n<p>Well, in the case of the COVID jabs, 50% of the deaths occur within 48 hours of injection. It\u2019s simply not conceivable that 10,000 people died two days after their shot from something other than the shot. It cannot all be coincidence. Especially since so many of them are younger, with no underlying lethal conditions that threaten to take them out on any given day. A full 80% have died within one week of their jab, which is still incredibly close in terms of temporality.<sup><span id=\"edn4\" data-hash=\"#ednref4\">4<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<div class=\"productad\"><\/div>\n<h2>Children Risk Permanent Heart Damage<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from the immediate risk of death, children are also at risk for potentially lifelong health problems from the jab. Myocarditis (heart inflammation) has emerged as one of the most common problems, especially among boys and young men.<\/p>\n<p>In early September 2021, Tracy Beth Hoeg and colleagues posted an analysis<sup><span id=\"edn5\" data-hash=\"#ednref5\">5<\/span><\/sup> of VAERS data on the preprint server medRxiv, showing that more than 86% of the children aged 12 to 17 who report symptoms of myocarditis were severe enough to require hospitalization.<\/p>\n<p>Cases of myocarditis explode after the second shot, Hoeg found, and disproportionally affect boys. A full 90% of post-jab myocarditis reports are males, and 85% of reports occurred after the second dose. According to Hoeg et. al.:<sup><span id=\"edn6\" data-hash=\"#ednref6\">6<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThe estimated incidence of CAEs [cardiac adverse events] among boys aged 12-15 years following the second dose was 162 per million; the incidence among boys aged 16-17 years was 94 per million. The estimated incidence of CAEs among girls was 13 per million in both age groups.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No doubt, doctors are seeing an increase in myocarditis, but few are willing to talk about it.

Even more telling is the fact that, since July 2021, non-COVID deaths in the U.K. have been higher than the weekly average in the five years prior to the pandemic. Heart disease and strokes appear to be behind many of the excess deaths, and both are known side effects of the COVID jab.<\/p>\n<p>In a November 28, 2021, Twitter post,<sup><span id=\"edn14\" data-hash=\"#ednref14\">14<\/span><\/sup> Silicon Valley software engineer Ben M.

The weekly adolescent hospitalization rate peaked at 2.1 per 100,000 in early January 2021, declined to 0.6 per 100,000 in mid-March, and rose to 1.3 per 100,000 in April.<sup><span id=\"edn28\" data-hash=\"#ednref28\">28<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Using that peak hospitalization rate of 2.1 per 100,000 (or 21 per million) in this age group, and assuming the risk for myocarditis is 0.146% among COVID-positive patients, we get a myocarditis-from-COVID rate among adolescents of 0.03 per million. That\u2019s a far cry from the normal background rate of four cases per million, so the risk of getting myocarditis from SARS-CoV-2 infection is probably quite small.<\/p>\n<p>Now, assuming the COVID hospitalization rate for adolescents is 21 per million, and we have 73.1 million adolescents, we could expect there to be 1,535 hospitalizations for COVID in this age group in a year. If 0.146% of those 1,535 teens develop myocarditis, we could expect 2.2 cases of myocarditis to occur in this age group each year, among those who come down with COVID.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, based on CDC statistics, we could expect just over two teens to contract myocarditis from COVID-19 infection.

Otherwise, the enzymes will merely act as a digestive enzyme rather than digesting fibrin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"bcr_divfootnote\" class=\"sources-references narrow-width\"><span id=\"refclone1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"heading\" class=\"title link16\" data-jsid=\"sourcesReferencesBtn\">&#8211; Sources and References<\/h3>\n<div id=\"contentrefsources\" class=\"contentrefsources\" data-jsid=\"sourcesReferences\">\n<div class=\"sources sourcesfoot\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"bcr_divReferences\" class=\"references\">\n<ul id=\"footnote-references2\">\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref1\" data-hash=\"#edn1\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">1<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.house.louisiana.gov\/H_Video\/VideoArchivePlayer?v=house\/2021\/dec\/1206_21_HW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louisiana Health and Welfare Committee Meeting December 6, 2021<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref2\" data-hash=\"#edn2\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">2<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.house.louisiana.gov\/H_Video\/2021\/Dec2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louisiana Government Archived Videos 2021 (see Health and Welfare)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref3\" data-hash=\"#edn3\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">3<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/openvaers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenVAERS Data as of December 17, 2021<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref4\" data-hash=\"#edn4\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">4<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dareseektruth.com\/dr-peter-mccullough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dare to Seek the Truth Dr. Peter McCullough<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref5\" data-hash=\"#edn5\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">5,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref6\" data-hash=\"#edn6\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">6<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.08.30.21262866v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">medRxiv September 8, 2021 DOI: 10.1101\/2021.08.30.21262866<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref7\" data-hash=\"#edn7\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">7<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/stevekirsch.substack.com\/p\/myocarditis-rates-in-kids-is-off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SteveKirsch.substack December 30, 2021<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref8\" data-hash=\"#edn8\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">8<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3mT0euc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal Pre-proof, A Report on Myocarditis Adverse Events in the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in Association with [&#8230;]<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref9\" data-hash=\"#edn9\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">9,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref12\" data-hash=\"#edn12\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">12<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/labs\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2519249\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Heart Journal September 2008; 29(17): 2073\u20132082<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref10\" data-hash=\"#edn10\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">10,<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<sup><span id=\"ednref11\" data-hash=\"#edn11\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">11<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31319912\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of the American College of Cardiology July 23, 2019; 74(3):299-311<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref13\" data-hash=\"#edn13\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">13<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/05e32f95-0e7e-4d2a-b408-6ec6035dea8e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times November 23, 2021<\/a><\/li>\n<li><sup><span id=\"ednref14\" data-hash=\"#edn14\"><span id=\"lblReferenceNo\">14<\/span><\/span><\/sup>\u00a0<a id=\"lnkReference\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USMortality\/status\/1464985828904554496\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter, Ben M.
