Hello SMF Family! We have a bit of a different editorial today that comes as we are introducing our new-ish team members on our social media channels. As a result of your donations, we have been able to add several team members over the last 1-2 years which has greatly expanded our capabilities as a non-profit legal team.
One of our new-ish team members is Brett Rogers. Brett is a graduate of Seattle University School of Law. Prior to joining the Silent Majority Foundation team, Brett was a Police Lieutenant and Civilian Manager with the City of Seattle.
A victim of an employer vaccine mandate himself, Brett understands and appreciates what so many others have gone through. That experience further motivates Brett to defend individual rights and fight government overreach. Brett and his wife, Jeanine, have three adult children, several grandchildren and three Labrador Retrievers.
Brett is a huge asset to our team and we are thankful to have him on board!
We have also been able to add Katie Thompson, owner of Rhema Agency and Thompson Real Estate Services to our team. Katie works behind-the-scenes handling our marketing and fundraising efforts. Like Brett, she came to our team with a story of her own that has lead her to want to take greater action to prevent the continued attack on medical freedom, free speech and government overreach that has affected her life so tremendously. Here is her story:
In Her Own Words
My story, told above in the interview with Informed Life Radio, is not rare. Sadly, this is a common occurrence for many. I was encouraged to get a “preventative treatment” that was brand new to the market on the premise that “it would prevent the HPV infection that causes cervical cancer.” Within a few days of receiving the second dose of the Gardasil shot my whole life changed. It wasn’t just a single complication that popped up but was like everything in my body went haywire. I started experiencing persistent severe headaches, orthostatic intolerance, fatigue, weakness, changes in my vascular health, heart issues, rashes and depression. It never even dawned on me that my life would change forever from that decision, and I had no idea that the shot could be the cause of it.
Much like what took place with the COVID-19 vaccines, I assumed that the product was safe and effective against a real threat because my Physician was encouraging its use. It has taken me years to actually begin to tell my story and do the research necessary to understand what actually took place. Honestly, until 2020 it was completely unfathomable to me that there could be such a coordinated effort to prevent true informed consent while playing games with the health and lives of innocent people. I had worked in the medical field as a Physical Therapist Assistant for years so it was engrained in me to trust the research and motivations of the medical sector as a whole. I will share below some of the important findings in my research about this vaccine as there are clear similarities between the rollout of Gardasil and the rollout of the COVID-19 shots.
What is HPV? How Prevalent are HPV Infections?
Despite the barrage of fear porn, HPV infections are endemic throughout the world. Almost all sexually active people contract HPV, usually unknowingly, at some point in their adult lives. In fact, the CDC estimates that about 13 million people develop an HPV infection each year. Of those estimated 13 million infections, 90% of them resolve on their own within 1-2 years as our bodies are able to combat the infection on their own. These figures suggest that roughly 0.18 percent of infections progress to cervical cancer overall. (The HPV Vaccine on Trial, pg 28).
Does HPV Actually Cause Cervical Cancer?
Simply stated, no, not on its own. [There are multiple resources for this information listed on page 363, item 15 of The HPV Vaccine on Trial] There is no scientific proof that HPV is the only or even primary cause of cervical cancer formation. While there is a link to cervical cancer from HPV there are many other factors that determine whether an HPV infection will lead to the formation of cancer cells. According to the HPV Vaccine on Trial:
“Most researchers believe that persistent, long-term HPV infection - not short-term or transient infection - is a significant risk factor in developing cervical cancer; it seems to be associated in approximately 90% of cervical cancers. Even persistent HPV infection alone, however, appears to be insufficient to lead to cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a multi-factor disease, with HPV likely playing a role, together with many other environmental and genetic factors…”
As with most disease processes, factors such as diet, exercise, smoking and hereditary influences play a huge role in the formation of cervical cancer.
The Clinical Trials
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.” - Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor-in-chief of The New England Journal of Medicine.
The Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines both claim to “protect against infection with two ‘high risk’ HPV types - HPV 16 and 18”, while Gardasil includes “protections” from HPV 6 and 11, thought to be the causation of genital warts in males and females. However, the clinical trials for HPV vaccines, in fact, did not even test whether they would prevent cervical or any other cancer. What was tested was whether the vaccines would prevent the development of abnormal cervical tissue lesions referred to as CIN2 and CIN3. When Merck presented their data on the vaccine to the FDA for approval of Gardasil, they submitted a graph purporting to show the scientific progression of the HPV infection and CIN lesions to the development of cervical cancer. These “surrogate endpoints” are utilized in trials when clinical outcomes are not used as an indication of a successful intervention.
What are CIN’s? Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia’s are abnormal cell growth on the surface of the cervix. They are given three distinctions which are used to (supposedly) show the progression of the CIN’s toward the formation of cancer. CIN1 lesions are not precancerous and typically only progress when there is a persistent infection combined with other risk factors, such as smoking. CIN2 lesions are also only to be considered “severe appearing HPV infections rather than precancerous,” according to Dr. Mark Schiffman of the National Cancer Institute. [M. Schiffman, et al., “Carcinogenic Human Papillomavirus Infection,” Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2:1-20, at 3-4, December 2016] Okay, so surely CIN3 lesions are the culprit behind cervical cancer and thus indicative of the need for a vaccine, right? The National Cancer Institute reports that 50% or less of CIN3 lesions progress to cervical cancer while a 2018 study by the Cochrane Collaboration assessed the probability of a CIN3 lesion progressing to cancer at 12%. Because CIN1, CIN2 and CIN3 lesions typically resolve on their own and are not necessarily a precursor for cancer, the graph submitted by Merck was not adequate to show a clear causation of cervical cancer, and thus is lacking a successful endpoint for the HPV vaccine studies.
There are numerous issues with the clinical trials of Gardasil that are explained in depth in the HPV Vaccine on Trial. Here are a few main points regarding the trials to take into consideration:
The US government played a role in the development of the HPV vaccine as investor, patent holder, regulator, and safety monitor.
The manufacturers funded the clinical trials that are supposed to be unbiased. Favorable results of these trials have incentives for everyone involved, except for the people, of course. This is a very normal occurrence with these trials and is clearly not conducive to ensuring the safety of the people.
Informed consent was lacking as human vaccine trial subjects were told that the trail was a standard active vaccine versus saline protocol. What was actually used as a placebo was a carrier solution containing a number of potentially toxic components: Polysorbate 80, sodium borate, genetically modified yeast, and L-histidine. The research on the danger of these products is clear, so why were they used, and why did the FDA overlook the blatant switcheroo of the placebo solution?
Safety signals were masked. The use of alternative placebo solutions obscures safety indicators that would normally show up in a active vs. saline trial. This means that safety signals that normally would have shown in the active vaccine group were also being reported in the “placebo” group because of the inclusion of harmful substances in the solution itself.
What Does All This Mean?
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the information I have found when I decided to research what had happened to me. I share this as a framework for beginning to understand what can take place with the medical establishment as a whole. The majority of the research I utilized is from the book The HPV Vaccine on Trial by Mary Holland, J.D., Kim Mack Rosenberg, J.D., and Eileen Iorio. I utilized their cited sources to confirm and continue my research. This is just the start of my research into this vaccine and others.
My life was greatly impacted and still is to this day. My hope is that as I continue to research, share and speak openly about this, I am able to help others see an alternate perspective, supported by evidence, than they will get from medical professionals parroting the approved narrative.
This is why I fight with Silent Majority Foundation. My team at SMF is a huge support and has given me the courage to speak up and use my voice to make a positive impact for medical freedom and true informed consent. I truly would not be where I am today without having gained the strength, knowledge and battle-readiness from the entire SMF family (that’s you guys, as well). Be well, everyone!
Will you make a special gift of $50 or more today and support our medical freedom and physician free speech lawsuits? Your donation today will help us continue to fight against these repeated assaults on our health and medical freedom.
Remember—it’s not our clients’ rights that are at issue. It’s the freedom of EVERY person to be free to make health decisions —and to be free of institutional and government punishment for doing so. Thank you, and God bless you!
I wouldn't take that poison if it were the last thing on Earth. I don't trust big pharma - they killed mhy daughter and vaccine injured me in the Gulf. I haven't taken their poison since 2003.
Thank you for sharing your story, Katie!
