Thanks for your clear explanation of this paper. I've seen multiple other substackers try to explain this same paper but I think your write up is the clearest and best.

I will add that one thing that tends to get overlooked is the role that this man's Parkinson's disease had in his outcome.

I haven't looked into the research of Parkinson's, but we should keep in mind that other comorbidities may play a role in these worsening outcomes and these deaths should be looked at within that context.

I wrote an entire series on Catecholamines, but I also addressed the autopsy report of the two teenagers from February who suffered catecholamine-mediated death. Initial reports from people argued the teenagers "healthy" before death.

However, one of the clearest concerns was one teenager who was diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed stimulants at some point (although the autopsy said he was not on them at the time of his death). My research suggests that ADHD is associated with Catecholamine dysfunction and that stimulants work by inhibiting the reuptake of Dopamine and Norepineprhine AND that these stimulants are given a black box warning for concerns over cardiovascular events including sudden cardiac death. Combine these with the fact that young men are diagnosed with ADHD at higher rates and that stimulants are given to children at higher frequency we should at least investigate the role that this disease/drug has in the cardiovascular events of young men (note for people reading: I'm not saying that ADHD and stimulants are the cause, but that they are one factor among a myriad that should be looked into).

Apologies for the wordiness, but it may be worth considering that we see what role Parkinson's may have had in contributing to this man's death when combined with the vaccines.

Yes I definitely think there was something about this man that made him more susceptible because he had noticeable adverse effects from every shot he took. Crazy that they kept injecting him after the first dose

perhaps, just as we saw "pull forward" deaths from the virus (and from viral treatment in many cases), we are also seeing "pull forward" deaths from the injections - that these deaths might have happened soon but not as quickly as we are seeing them. but i agree with your statement that every death occurs within a specific context and we shouldn't jump to categorize the cause.

This is my working model for all of these events which isn't something groundbreaking to be honest. It goes with the assumption that our bodies are hit with multiple insults daily, but sometimes it gets hit with some more severe than others. If we consider that we have a threshold which, when surpassed, causes serious damage then we have to examine what may cause us to surpass that threshold. The vaccine is one big insult, and so it may drive people who are otherwise well to worse outcomes, or people who may be more susceptible to being at a threshold to quickly reach that threshold as in people with neurological issues (we never know how many of these people have genetic underpinnings that would infer dementia later in life).

I mentioned in my Catecholamine post the issues with athletes (although I should have used the word misnomer rather than paradox) in that many athletes may appear super fit but are actually unhealthy and suffer from "athlete's heart" so they are already more susceptible to cardiac events and that may be why we are seeing what we are seeing among athletes.

exactly. I call it a "stress bucket" with clients. we can expand the bucket (through nourishment, for example) or decrease, to some extent, what we're dumping into the bucket.

While the young men may be on stimulants for ADHD, aren't athletes screened carefully for "performance enhancing drugs" like speed? Additionally, there seem to be more of these crisis events when you stress the heart - playing soccer, running marathons. I had a friend-of-a-friend (age 72) in her regular aerobics class who had a "rare" valve blowout. Of course, the friend said, "she shouldn't be doing aerobics at her age" and "we are all too old for that stuff," but the challenge on the heart combined with the spike shot is worth looking into.

As far as I am aware there's plenty of ways around it. I believe many tests just check for metabolites of anabolic steroids and so if one were to look for steroids it would be easy to pass these tests. For stimulants I don't believe that being on stimulants would allow for athletes to not perform. My series differentiated the two, raising the possibility that teenagers who are on ADHD medications may be more susceptible to these cardiovascular risks.

For athletes, it was more to the point that athletes aren't inherently healthy and that several factors, along with the vaccines may contribute to the deaths seen. It's more to the point that athletes probably aren't a good measure for the general population given that they may be more likely to have cardiovascular issues in the long-term relative to more healthy individuals.

Also, I think people should read the "Review Reports" section and see how some of these studies are edited to "provide a narrative" so to speak.

Docs giving Dose 2 following Dose 1 SAE is a rather common occurrence

Case reports where the patient was given dose #2 despite suffering an SAE following dose #1:

Thanks for your clear and accessible examination of this paper and other corroborating evidence. Keep it up, you're writing is very accessible, you have a skill.

I find your question number 3 to be of particular interest. I asked a related question in a Substack comment and someone said the higher frequency of myocarditis in young males is related to testosterone levels. But men have some testosterone at all ages, if I'm not mistaken. Could it be that older men just don't report the myocarditis symptoms because a little heart pain is "normal" for them and they don't want a doctor demanding that they take additional heart medications or get a bypass operation?

Very possible

Another great article. And don’t forget the the mRNA vaccines, unlike the virus, are composed of pseudouridine which suppresses the normally rapid degradation of RNA thus prolonging its life and likely contributes to its tendency to be distributed far beyond the site of injection.

I’m going to engrave “Pfizer Vaccine” down the side of my concealed carry firearm. That way if I ever have to defend myself, everyone will be like, “well I don’t know how this man died…it’s a mystery.”

And why are the CDC and FDA refusing to release their autopsy data?

I've just learned that the spike protein from the vax differs from the viral one. So many articles say we don't know if the presence of spike is due to infection or vaccination. But if anyone actually wants to look (autopsy-wise), all the info is actually there. Thank you once again.

Thank you for this very informative work it is an example of pure medical malpractice.

I live in UK.I had a really bad reaction to Pfizer booster 2 prev Astra Zennica jabs.😳Yes I now wish I could remove every one of the 8 various jabs I have had in the last 2 years.As an older human of course I needed them ….🤯

I also have done a great deal of research ( thank you substackers )

I rang 3 university hospitals offering my brain for research and said I wanted to pay for an autopsy looking for spike protein according to the Dr Arnie Burkhardt protocol from my will.

I then rang The Association of Clinical Pathologists (UK)and 2 other separate Pathology departments that they pointed me to.

I could not find 1 Pathologist looking for Spike Protein infiltration.( Dec 21)

Could you please let me know where the autopsie was done.

I am still here 😁now 80% recovered but I will never forget the extreme heat sensation ,severe headaches and feeling of “ants” crawling inside the top of my cranium.My vision had prismatic broken images all around my peripheral vision, and I felt as if my life force had been sucked out of me, for months, I am sure a great deal of damage was done.

I have followed an intense regime,all Organic food, time restricted feeding 6/18,no added sugar,only olive oil,coconut oil ,grass fed cows butter,exercise,sunlight and some supplements. I think our immune systems are far better than we think they are.

I will never have another vaccine of any sort, all trust in Pharmaceutical Companies is gone and was probably misplaced originally.

I don't know of someone doing it in the UK but the person who did the autopsy for this case report was based in Germany. There's also Ryan Cole based in the US who would do such an autopsy, I think

Great article! I do want to comment on the aspiration pneumonia diagnosis despite no coughing or choking. There is what is called “silent aspiration” that has been seen on videofloroscopy modified barium swallow studies. Silent aspiration means that there are no observable signs or symptoms of aspiration to the casual observer yet the patient is aspirating. This is usually diagnosed by a modified barium swallow study.

Good to know!

Good questions at the end, especially the last one. Don't know if it will ever be studied in the U.S., because they don't want to study anything that attributes any adverse event to these mRNA vaccines. It's like "the thing which shall not be named", and that's the end of it.

I think the fear campaign turned off the survival instinct of some people.

Vax pericarditis has been reported more than myocarditis in older people. But older people get more heart problems anyway so that may be why it goes unnoticed.

Could it be the amount of movement after the vaccine playing a role in the results?

Smart family, smart patient who passed away, smart doctor.

Covid may or may not fall under Germany's autopsy laws for infectious diseases of public concern - in the beginning it had its own regulations *preventing autopsy (no red flags there!) Anyway, my point is that in a normal death, you are legally required to have the patient's permission to do a clinical dissection. We can't just happily go in with the scissors. In an infectious disease of interest, you are allowed to dissect without their permission.

So, dear readers. Take a morbid moment, and type up and sign a living will statement for your own situation and perhaps forward your version to family members so that they can do the same: a few short sentences saying that it is your desire to have a full autopsy in case of death.

Happy Friday Evening.
