The movie “Follow the Silenced” tells the story of those who have been harmed by the Covid vaccine (and a whole lot more).  Please watch the 3-minute trailer.  The movie will debut (for free) on May 15: https://followthesilenced.com/.  It also won Best Film at the 2025 Santa Monica International Film Festival.

This movie helps to explain why so many people won’t give up. Those who have been seriously harmed need our help.

It is the reason I tried my best to make a contribution with my article, which put some general parameters around the potential scale of harm:  https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/covid-19-illness-and-vaccination-experiences-in-social-circles-affect-covid-19-vaccination-decisions/

One of the central characters in the movie is Briane Dressen, a healthcare professional who volunteered for a Covid-19 clinical trial. She was seriously injured.  

Dressen helped to organize other Covid vaccine injured healthcare professionals and scientists to create the website https://react19.org/.  At this website you will find a compilation 3,751 peer reviewed case reports and studies citing adverse effects post Covid vaccination.

Despite this overwhelming evidence, only a handful of Covid vaccine injured have received any assistance from the federal government’s National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Please get the word out.

A very interesting interview!

Introduction: Civilization as a Fragile Inheritance

“History has no shortage of ruins. From the silent stones of Angkor to the once-mighty aqueducts of Rome, civilizations rise, flourish, and decline. We often imagine collapse as sudden: a war, a plague, a flood. But more often, collapse is gradual and systemic, the result of slow erosion rather than catastrophic fall. It occurs not just when governments fail, but when social trust fractures, feedback loops break, and people stop believing that anything they do matters.

We live in a world facing global complexity and interconnected risk: climate disruption, information disorder, authoritarian creep, economic precarity, and identity fragmentation. These are not isolated threats. They operate as entangled forces that, if left unchecked, can push even the most advanced societies toward dysfunction or disintegration.

Yet while we fear collapse, we often forget that resilience is not just the domain of governments or institutions. It is the property of entire societies. And societies are made of people. Ordinary people. Citizens. That’s where you come in.”

Information, Truth, and Dialectics. A very useful article by former U.S. Army Officer.

“There is a lot of deception going on right now in front of our faces. It’s everywhere we look and is far more prevalent than the average person realizes. It’s difficult to receive accurate information. The media plays a huge role in promoting the deception. Those narrative brokers that control the media push their desired ideas on the rest of us, creating layers of obscurity to mask reality from our gaze. It makes it extremely frustrating to understand what is going on and who to trust. Analyzing information becomes so difficult that the truth of what is going on in our world eludes many of us to a large degree and eludes all of us to at least some degree. It’s impossible to have a fully accurate picture of what’s going on in the world. This is by design. Those who want to achieve an oligarchy over the world want it that way. As a general rule, there is an inverse relationship between mainstream media consumption and awareness. In other words, the more mainstream news you consume, the less informed you’ll be.”

“When the Trump administration recently unveiled a new round of sweeping tariffs, mainstream reactions were swift and predictable. Headlines buzzed about trade wars, economic damage, and familiar warnings of runaway inflation. But these reactions miss something fundamental—something quietly strategic behind what, on the surface, appears to be pure economic nationalism. To truly grasp this moment, we have to look past tariffs themselves and instead consider what they signal: a deliberate and far-reaching reset of America’s economic foundations and geopolitical chessboard. This isn’t protectionism for protectionism’s sake; it’s disruption as deliberate policy.”

“Consider the mRNA vaccines. For parents who rushed to get their children vaccinated, or doctors who enthusiastically promoted them to patients, acknowledging potential harms isn’t simply a matter of updating their risk assessment. It would mean confronting the unbearable possibility that they may have harmed those they love most.

Healthcare workers were prioritized for vaccination, locking them into the narrative early. Once you’ve taken the shot and pushed it on patients, your identity – professional judgment, ethics, self-image as a healer – hinges on its safety. The cost of admitting error becomes psychologically prohibitive.

The cost becomes devastatingly personal. Several friends now take their children to cardiologists for issues that developed after vaccination. Only one has privately confided that he believes the shots caused his child’s condition. For the others, acknowledging this possibility would mean confronting an unbearable guilt – that they may have harmed their child by following what they believed was responsible medical advice.”

“Payments made to the Federal government, such as fees, fines, loans, and taxes, must also be processed electronically where permissible under existing law,” the executive order says.

““The science is settled” is a phrase invoked not to convey certainty but to halt inquiry. This rhetorical flourish has been used repeatedly in public health communications, particularly regarding the long-standing controversy over a potential link between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A recent example of this can be found in the March 19, 2025 article from Johns Hopkins Public Health, titled “Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism. Why Do Some People Think They Do?”

In the article, Dr. Daniel Salmon, a vaccinologist and director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety, discusses the origins of the vaccine-autism debate, attributing it mainly to the 1998 case series published by Dr. Andrew Wakefield and colleagues. The article, which claims that 16 studies exist that definitively answer the question of vaccines and autism, argues that Wakefield’s now-retracted paper initiated a cascade of misinformation that public health authorities have spent decades refuting. It claims that a wealth of rigorous studies has “settled the science” and that the persistence of public doubt stems from cognitive biases and unfortunate timing rather than legitimate scientific controversy.

This narrative is both misleading and incomplete. It fails to acknowledge a substantial body of peer-reviewed evidence across disciplines—epidemiology, immunology, toxicology, molecular biology, and clinical medicine—that supports concern over vaccine-related neurodevelopmental outcomes. It omits biological plausibility, disregards whistleblower disclosures and court-admitted vaccine injuries, and relies on an artificially narrow scope of reference. It also ignores the history of the CDC sharing 27 studies, 22 of which where rejected by the National Academy of Science’s Institutes of Medicine, leaving 5; four of these were underpowered, leaving one study. That history will be part of future article.”
