The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t know how many people died from COVID-19 vaccines—but it’s definitely not the 37,100 reported [ [link removed] ] to the government’s primary vaccine safety surveillance system.
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic met Thursday to discuss the failings of America’s vaccine safety systems in the first session of a multi-part hearing titled “Assessing America’s Vaccine Safety Systems, Part 1 [ [link removed] ].”
According to a memo issued by the Subcommittee [ [link removed] ], the purpose of the hearing was to examine the federal government’s post-marketing surveillance of COVID-19 vaccine safety and the process for adjudicating claims for compensation.
Note that it says, “examine.” That’s because these hearings rarely result in any substantial change, but at this point, any acknowledgment of the elephant in the room gives some credence to the millions of Americans suffering at the hands of bureaucrats and pharmaceutical companies who took our tax dollars and forced the country to inject themselves with lemons.
For those who have never taken the time to watch one of these hearings, they’re typically a few hours long and involve witnesses who answer questions from a group of representatives on both sides of the aisle.
Speaking times are limited to about five minutes and involve a series of exchanges between the representative asking the question and the “witness.” Witnesses are sworn in and are supposed to answer questions honestly. It’s an opportunity for the American people to receive answers to questions—through their elected representatives—that have largely been ignored and an opportunity for witnesses to get caught up in their lies.
Over the course of three hours, an obvious split down party lines was apparent:
On one side, you had the Democrats pretending COVID-19 vaccines have saved millions of lives and are the best thing since Betty Crocker hit the scene with cake mix in 1947.
Vaccine-injured people? Well, sometimes there are casualties on the path to greatness. A few people are expected to die to save the collective. It’s a small price to pay. And if you are one of the unlucky ones who didn’t die but became seriously injured? That’s on you.
The claim that COVID-19 vaccines have saved anyone is entirely unsupported by data. It’s possible that they have; I’m merely suggesting the data doesn’t support that assertion. This is yet another talking point used by one side to justify shooting people up with experimental heart darts or by others who want to prevent their opinions from being automatically dismissed by the collective herd.
The idea that COVID-19 vaccines have saved anyone is pure propaganda invented by pharmaceutical companies and parroted by the media and U.S. health officials when it became apparent the shots did not work. A good marketer always pivots. No, COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent disease or transmission, and they're not safe, but you would have died if you didn’t get it.
To prove a COVID-19 vaccine has saved countless lives, you’d have to assume that everyone would have gotten COVID-19 and that everyone who got COVID-19 would have died but for the shot. That’s impossible to prove, and we know the fatality of COVID-19 is extremely low and that the vaccine does not prevent disease—another fact admitted during the hearing by the FDA.
The Democrats were mad that a hearing was being held in the first place. After all, becoming informed might make people “vaccine-hesitant.”

On the other side, you had Republicans—some of whom went out of their way to cushion any negatives with the insurmountable positives these clot shots have bestowed upon the American people—and some of whom stepped up to the plate to ask the tough questions us plebians haven’t had the opportunity to do, or we have, but have been ignored.
Republicans Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Rep. Debbie Lesko of Arizona, Rep. Michael Cloud of Texas, Dr. Rich McCormick of Georgia, and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York receive honorable mentions for maximizing their five minutes of speaking time.
For “witnesses,”— the officials in the hot seat—you had Dr. Daniel Jernigan, director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases at the CDC. It was evident that Dr. Jernigan does not believe vaccine-injured people exist, and his agency is the best thing since the sliced Wonder Bread nobody eats anymore.
Any shortcomings of the CDC were blamed on not having enough staff. Perhaps if they spent a little less time trying to do damage control for the pharmaceutical companies or conducting flawed studies to support face diapers and heart darts, they’d have more resources to go around, but I digress.
Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, was another witness. Dr. Marks has ignored inquiries by numerous congressional leaders. Behind closed doors, he knows the vaccine-injured exists, but not only did nothing about it, he expedited COVID-19 vaccine approval so the shots could be mandated. If we owe him anything in return for helping the government steal our freedoms, it’s a ticket to the big house. Perhaps the medical bills of those injured should be forwarded to the FDA.
Marks, during the hearing, also pretended U.S. health agencies no longer see a myocarditis signal with COVID-19 vaccines and that adding an initial warning to the label of these shots was enough when, in actuality, they should have been pulled from the market the first time a kid dropped dead on a field.
Finally, we had Commander Dr. George Reed Grimes, director of Injury Compensation Programs for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). He oversees the two laughable vaccine compensation schemes that protect pharmaceutical companies from having to pay for the damage caused by their products.
The U.S. government has two systems for adjudicating and compensating vaccine-related injuries—the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Neither is great at awarding vaccine injuries, but nothing screams fairness like becoming paralyzed from a mandated vaccine and being awarded 50 cents for your injuries.
In any other industry, you can sue for defective products. If the label on your Carhartt jacket falls off, you’re all but guaranteed a settlement. This is not the case with vaccines.
Here are a few things that came from the hearing you can put in your back pocket:
Chairman of the committee, Dr. Brad Wenstrep (R-OH), got the FDA and CDC to admit that no vaccine is 100% safe. We already knew this, but it’s good to establish this again as a matter of principle. We cannot hear this enough after being inundated for months with claims that Pfizer and Moderna’s clot shots were safe and anywhere from 95 to 100% effective.
Rep. Cloud got the FDA and CDC’s public health experts to eventually admit [ [link removed] ] through hot flashes and tears that COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent COVID-19 or transmission. Yet, the FDA still says COVID-19 is a vaccine-preventable disease on its website. And they wonder why Americans don’t trust literally anything they say.
As of January 2024, the CICP has only compensated 11 claims out of the more than 12,000 filed for COVID-19 vaccine-related injuries. With the number of employees they have, it will take ten years to adjudicate more than 10,000 backlogged claims, Rep. McCormick revealed.
Rep. McCormick also pointed out the ridiculousness of the federal government funding the shots (with our tax dollars), mandating the shots, and then being in the position to determine whether they caused harm and whether the injured should receive compensation.
Rep. Malliotakis asked the FDA if they were undertaking any long-term active surveillance of individuals who received the initial COVID-19 vaccines because, you know, some diseases take years to develop. The FDA punted the question to the CDC, and it was obvious nobody is doing any such thing—that way, if you develop cancer years down the road, it can be written off as a “coincidence.”
At one point during the hearing, Dr. Marks was asked whether COVID-19 vaccines have resulted in an increase in cancers and whether “turbo cancers” are real.
“I’m a hematologist oncologist that’s board certified. I don’t know what a turbo cancer is. It was a term that was used first in a paper in mouse experiments describing an inflammatory response,” Dr. Marks said. “We have not detected any increase in cancers with the COVID-19 vaccines.”
Dr. Marks didn’t technically lie because he doesn’t actually see patients, so he hasn’t seen any of the lucky candidates who had the privilege of getting an aggressive turbo cancer to prevent the equivalent of a common cold.
Rep. Cloud asked Dr. Marks if anyone instructed him to speed up the COVID-19 vaccine approval timeline. Dr. Marks said he decided to speed up the approval of these death darts himself.
Rep. Cloud then asked why he removed two senior officials who disagreed with doing so, and Marks essentially said he needed to move these clot shots through as rapidly as possible because people were dying and these top-tier scientists were getting in his way.
“Do you recall any conversation regarding approval of vaccines in order to approve mandates,” Rep. Comer asked Dr. Marks. “Did you ever have any conversations regarding vaccine approval with the Department of Defense?”
Marks said he didn’t recall any conversations directly, which means they most certainly happened. What he did admit is that there were conversations that the shots would be easier to mandate if they were approved.
The COVID-19 vaccine was fully approved on August 23, 2021, and the military mandate was issued on August 24, 2021. How ironic.
The MVP of the event goes to Rep. Margarie Taylor Greene. You know you’re on the right track when the people who speak after you use their entire five minutes of speaking time to say the Republican who spoke before them is a big meanie—which is exactly what this Democrat, whose name I can’t remember, did after Greene gave her speech.
MTG told the world before she spoke that she does not have a medical degree, but she does have a PhD in identifying bullsh*t. How’s that for a disclaimer?
She packed an entire three years into her five minutes of talk time by beginning with Dr. Marks’ need to rush vaccines through the authorization and approval process faster than a fart at the DMV—despite their side effects.
She then addressed the valiant but failed attempts of Democrats to belittle reports filed in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. In case you didn’t know, there are more than 18,000 reports of U.S. deaths following COVID-19 vaccines and 37,000 total reported deaths. The numbers went up after COVID-19 vaccine authorization, soared when there were mandates, and declined when the mandates disappeared.
Greene also noted there are 10,640 COVID-19 vaccine injury claims waiting for review; only 11 of several thousand have been compensated, and the average payout was $3,700 compared with the $490,000 people receive when they are compensated by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Then…she did it.
She brought up how Brianne Dressen met with Dr. Peter Marks about the injured, how he acknowledged vaccine injuries and then pretended as if the entire encounter didn’t exist.
Dressen was in AstraZeneca’s clinical trial, was injured, and dropped from the trial. Her medical expenses are more than $433,000 a year. She filed with the CICP two years ago and never heard a response. The National Institutes of Health also saw Dressen, studied her, and then dropped from the study and asked her to be quiet about it.
“It’s time to be honest about the vaccine injured, and we need to stop allowing these COVID vaccines to be given out to children,” Greene said.
All in all, will this hearing move the needle? That remains to be seen. You should probably set your expectations for change between zero and probably not.
