We've known we were being lied to ever since HCQ was smeared as a dangerous medication and the new euphemism for the prudent, unsettling feeling when being told you can and must trust a liar with your life was deemed "vaccine hesitancy".

I suffer from lots of different forms of hesitancy. A few similar examples are " shoot myself in the head hesitancy" or " jump off a tall building hesitancy".

There's also "play Russian Roulette with 5 other friends hesitancy". Those 5 other friends may click the trigger before you and be happy to say "I did it and I'm fine! It didn't hurt me, it is safe!"

There are 5 important points to consider with this video, some which may not be evident to people who do not work in this field.

#1 Doctors tend to be very bad at catching adverse reactions (I'm presently working on an article explaining some of the key reasons for this is). I believe the primary reasons why Dr. Jackson has such a high rate of adverse reactions in his practice is because he asks his patients what happened to them following vaccination; most doctors don't. As a result he "catches" reactions most doctors would not catch.

#2 Rheumatology patients are more susceptible to having reactions to the vaccine than the general population (for example pre-exacerbation of an existing autoimmune condition was a common side effect found in the recent Israeli study of individuals receiving the booster). However these patients were excluded from the initial vaccine trials (as people at risk of negative effects are rarely studied in clinical trials as the companies don't want to increase the adverse event rates). This is particularly insidious here because autoimmune patients are typically the #1 group recommended to get vaccinated (because they are "immune suppressed" and hence need the extra protection).

#3 As he is a consultant rather than their PCP, he is most likely going to miss or not hear about most of the deaths that occur. The only way he can sort of catch it is if he remembers a patient who was scheduled for followup doesn't show up for 6 months and then thinks to check if they are still alive...and at that point its difficult to figure out the temporal correlation with vaccination. If he was their PCP he'd see a much higher rate.

#4 There is an extreme shortage/demand for rheumatologists in the midwest (hence why he goes to so many hospitals in a wide area). This gives him a lot of wiggleroom other doctors don't have since he does not have a central employer, and each of the 8 who subcontract to him cannot afford to loose him. Hence there is no corporate that can force him to vaccinate or censor his speech. Very few doctors are in this situation.

#5 Antiphospholipid syndrome is a common cause of blood clotting in patients with autoimmune disorders. This provides an alternative mechanism to explain why so many blood clots are occurring and hence why Dr. Jackson is so concerned with screening his patients for this disorder.

I have had a few patients with COVID that exosomes were tremendously helpful for, but since they are costly, I've only used them on extremely ill people who tried home treatment I expected to be hospitalized and then die. One of my colleagues has treated a larger number of very ill patients pre-hospitalization and had the same result, along with many post hospitalization who had long haul covid who had immediate recoveries. I've looked at a lot of therapies. I believe exosomes are the most helpful, but there are cheaper ones that often help a great deal, so I'm more conservative with the exosomes due to trying to be price conscious for my patients.
