A Significant Change (1/1/2022)

I just took my blood pressure reading with my new toy, a home BP monitor kit. It was 123/78. That is near perfect but why should I be surprised? I eat healthy, exercise regularly, don't smoke and only drink alcohol in moderation. I have never had a high BP reading in my life. That is until six weeks ago when I was checked by my primary physician.

I am always nervous when I visit the doctor no matter how trivial the appointment. The main reason is the routine blood test that I know will likely be required. This anxiety started over thirty years ago when a co-worker insisted that I go with him to our employer's health department for a free cholesterol test. My friend was an extremely health conscience person who took excellent care of himself. So was I. At first, I was reluctant to go because I was certain that I did not have high cholesterol. However, his persistence won the day and I found myself rushing to health center to get the test over quicky so I would make my train ride home.

It was a simple test. They just prick your finger. As I waited in line I started to sweat and began feeling squeamish. I thought this was due to the hot crowded room so I removed my coat. After they administered the test the next thing that I remembered was waking up on the floor with smelling salts up my nose. I had passed out. Ever since that day I have had issues with blood tests.

Although I am nervous about blood tests, I do not have a problem with needles and am quite comfortable having my BP taken. I know that I will have a good reading so there is no reason to feel nervous. That is why I was surprised after the doctor took my reading, gave me a surprising look, then did it again. After which he took the reading from my other arm. I had never had that done before.

I began to feel edgy. It was as if I was aboard an airplane that was descending for the runway only to abort the landing and take the plane back to the sky for take two. The surprised doctor looked at me and said you have high blood pressure. The reading was 200/96. I was shocked!

I wondered if this day could get any worse. Then the doctor reminded me, it was time for my blood test.

When I arrived home, I was in disbelief or perhaps it was denial. I thought that it might be a false reading and what caused the high reading was "white coat syndrome". This occurs when people experience a rise in their BP when they visit the doctor's office. That is when I purchased a home blood pressure monitor so I could take my readings in a relaxed atmosphere. To my dismay my home readings were close to the ones taken at the doctor's office.

What caused this increase? My diet has basically been the same. I work out at the gym four times a week. The only significant change in my life since my last reading was that I had retired from my job of thirty-five years. Instead of waking at 4:45 A.M. each morning for a long commute to the city, I now sleep in on most days and take daily walks and bike rides alongside streams and rivers. However, there was another significant change.

On February of 2019 Dr. Robert Malone of Virginia was hospitalized for COVID-19. It was so bad he thought he was going to die. Dr. Malone is the inventor of the nine original mRNA vaccine patents. He has close to 100 peer-reviewed publications which have been cited over 12,000 times. Since January 2020, Dr. Malone has been leading a large team focused on clinical research design, drug development, and mechanisms of action of repurposed drugs for the treatment of COVID-19.

Shortly after the Moderna vaccine was approved many Americans including Dr. Malone, opted to be vaccinated. Some by their own choice others because of employer mandates. Some of our close friends and relatives were forced to be vaccinated or lose their jobs, including those serving in the U.S. military. Many people have chosen to get vaccinated and taken booster shots out of fear. The media reports wide spread death due to COVID. These numbers may be misleading.

The government awards hospitals a bonus for every patient they admit due to COVID. They also receive a bonus for patients that are placed on a ventilator or if a patient is declared dead due to COVID. This creates an incentive for hospitals to skew the numbers in favor of COVID.

The CDC determined that if you are PCR positive and die it is due to COVID. They dismiss other possible causes of death. For example, if a man is taken to the ER due to a gunshot wound it is likely that he will be tested for COVID. If he should die in the hospital during that time, they will classify that his death was due to COVID. I know of an elderly man over eighty years old. He had cancer and several other ailments. While he was in the hospital, he tested positive for COVID. When he died the cause of death was listed as COVID. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell's cause of death was listed as complications due to COVID even though he was being treated for blood cancer. In 2013, it was reported that Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver suffered from memory loss, not even remembering long-term acquaintances and experiencing symptoms of "sleep disorder, nausea, and a general overall feeling of chemical imbalance. On March 7, 2019, Seaver's family announced that he had dementia and was retiring from public life. Seaver died in his sleep at the age of 75 on August 31, 2020, as a result of complications from Lewy body dementia. Cause of death? You guessed it - COVID-19.

Sadly, this is not the only instance of COVID mortaring into a large money grab. Many are rushing to testing centers to see if they are positive. I recently spoke with a doctor who said that testing centers charge between eighty and one hundred dollars for a rapid test. If they do three hundred tests a day, they are making thirty thousand dollars. These tests have a high false-positives. You can purchase them yourself for twenty dollars but they are in short supply.

This is not only particular to our country but is occurring worldwide as well. American servicemen were required to be tested prior to boarding commercial flights from Europe. One such airman was detained at the Frankfurt airport because they would not accept her COVID test. She was required to pay three hundred dollars to be tested at the airport before she could board her flight. An army serviceman was not so lucky. He did not have the fee so he was forced to cancel his holiday leave time.

Sometime after receiving a second dose of the Moderna vaccine Dr. Malone developed stage 3 hypertension. His BP was up to 230. During a recent interview Dr. Malone stated that people who have had COVID-19 and get immunized have a higher risk of adverse side effects from the vaccine such as blood clots and high blood pressure. He did not know this at the time he was vaccinated.

Several questions arise when it comes to the use of vaccinations. Did the government rush approval for these vaccinations to prevent wide spread panic? Does "Big Pharma" have our best interest at heart or are they just another large company trying to maximize profits? They sell drugs that are often beneficial but their main goal is to make money. Pfizer has a shady legal history having been fined for bribing physicians.

Robert Malone is not the only doctor who urges caution before being vaccinated. There are many others, however you will not see them on TV or read them on many social media sites. They have been censored. Replaced by TV darlings who support the liberal narrative. Did you ever wonder how many COVID patients were treated by Anthony Fauci? The answer is none.

Dr. Peter A. McCullough is a board-certified cardiologist who has testified before committees of the US and Texas Senate regarding the treatment of COVID-19 and management of the ongoing pandemic. He was an internist and cardiologist on staff at Baylor University Medical Center and the Baylor Heart and Vascular hospital in Dallas, Texas. His 600 peer-reviewed articles in the National Library of Medicine make McCullough the most published physician in history in the field of kidney disease related to heart disease, a lethal sequel of COVID-19. Dr. McCullough has had COVID with pulmonary involvement.

Dr. McCullough is a strong proponent of early treatment medications for COVID such as Hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine and monoclonal antibodies. He states that there have been no deaths due to COVID for patients who have been pre-treated. McCullough testified on March 10,2021 that up to 80% of COVID deaths could have been avoided. According to Dr. McCullough there has been an organized intentional suppression of early treatments in order to encourage fear, isolation, hospitalization and death in order to promote vaccinations. The best way to achieve this was to not have a protocol for early treatment.

Both doctors Malone and McCullough agree that people who have had COVID should not get vaccinated. Since most people do not get COVID a second time the vaccine only exposes you to harm. Furthermore, the vaccination may not be safe.

According to McCullough over 182 people had died at 50 million shots. The standard is 150 at 270 million shots. Fifty percent of the deaths occurred within 48 hours of the shot, 80% occurred within a week. Also, there have been 250,000 ER visits and other health care encounters related to the vaccine. The vast majority of deaths occur in seniors, the very people we are trying to protect.

In May of 2021 I received my second shot of Moderna. This is the second significant change in my life style since my last BP test. My BP is normal now because I am on medication. My goal is to have normal BP without medication. It is unlikely that I will ever be able to prove that my high BP was caused by the vaccination. When I asked my doctor if my high BP may have been caused by the vaccination, he simply said that he did not know.

My wife tested positive for COVID in November of 2019. At that same time, I was experiencing symptoms. They lasted about five days. I did not get tested so I cannot state for certain that I actually had COVID. Based on the timing of my symptoms I think I likely had it. Based on the information provide by Dr. Malone and Dr. McCullough neither I or my wife needed or should have been vaccinated. Multiple studies show that natural immunity is superior to being vaccinated.

Our children are grown and make their own decisions. Had they been younger I do not think that we would have had them vaccinated. There are myocarditis risks for children that are vaccinated. Children that are vaccinated are 4 to 6 times more likely to be hospitalized for myocarditis than to be hospitalized for COVID.

The CDC says on its website that 90% of the deaths caused by COVID are associated with significant other major problems. For example, someone had heart failure, advanced lung disease, kidney disease, or cancer.

Ninety-nine percent of the people who receive the vaccination are fine. Ninety-nine percent of the people who contacted COVID are also fine.

On January 1st, 2022 Megyn Kelly reported that the Justice department admitted that people between the ages of 18 and 30 have the same risk of COVID as those who are 50 or over and fully vaccinated. So, the unvaccinated 30-year-old has the same risk as the vaccinated 50-year-old and yet people are being fired for not being vaccinated.

I have heard some horror stories about people who have suffered and, in some cases, died of COVID. It is not my intention to discourage people from choosing to get vaccinated. No one held a gun to my head and said get vaccinated or else. It was my decision as it should be. Of course, I now regret it. However, going forward the government, school districts, and employers are requiring vaccinations. This should be a personal decision, especially when it comes to vaccinating young children.

In summation, if you had COVID you do not need to be vaccinated. It can't help you and it might hurt you. The CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky admits that being vaccinated will not prevent you from spreading it to others or getting it yourself. What it will do is decrease the chances that you will be severely ill or even die of COVID. Getting vaccinated diminishes the likelihood that you will be hospitalized and overburden the healthcare system.

While the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly its symptoms are basically the same as having a cold. Perhaps it would not be a bad idea for those who are not vaccinated to catch Omicron. For the price of a bad cold, you may gain valuable antibodies.

Just some food for thought. Unsalted of course.

My opinions are based on personal experiences and what I have learned in my research.
