Navy Commander Tells All in New Release From CHD Books on the Illegal Military COVID Vaccine Mandate

On Aug. 24, the day after the FDA licensed the Comirnaty vaccine, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for every service member. The military illegally enforced this mandate by withholding the fully licensed product, ignoring service members’ rights to refuse experimental medicines.  Active-duty Navy Commander Robert A.

CHD Says Pfizer Clinical Trial Data Contradicts ‘Safe and Effective’ Government/Industry Mantra

A 38-page report included in the released documents features an Appendix, “LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST,” that lists 1,291 different adverse events following vaccination. “At least now we know why the FDA and Pfizer wanted to keep this data under wraps for 75 years. These findings should put an immediate end to the Pfizer COVID vaccines. The potential for serious harm is very clear, and those injured by the vaccines are prohibited from suing Pfizer for damages,” said Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president and general counsel Mary Holland.

VRBPAC has a meeting on Tuesday, February 15 to consider Pfizer’s application for EUA status for this age group. “There is absolutely no COVID emergency for children under five years old,” said CHD president and general counsel Mary Holland. “Considering that healthy children have virtually zero risk of complications or death from COVID, and that the adverse events being reported following COVID vaccination are at historic rates and climbing, it’s outrageous that the FDA is even discussing an EUA vaccine for this age group.”

The most insidious aspect of OTARD is that it eliminates all state and local zoning authority over these arrangements. No permit is required, deed and homeowners’ association restrictions or any other state laws are preempted. No notice to neighboring property owners is required. Therefore, people adversely affected will have no right to object or prevent these antennas’ installation, even though they will be involuntarily exposed to harmful radiation.
