For example:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Shortly after the COVID-19 vaccines entered the market, I had multiple people contact me to share that a loved one had died suddenly\u2014something I\u2019d never seen with any other vaccine. Given how frequently the standard vaccines cause significant injuries (e.g.,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesterndoctor.com\/p\/how-much-damage-have-vaccines-done\" rel=\"\">the independent studies that have been done collectively show<\/a>\u00a0that the childhood vaccines cause between\u00a0<strong>a 1.5 to 40 times increase<\/strong>\u00a0in the rates of chronic illness), I immediately inferred that around 10% of recipients would experience significant side effects\u2014which is insane for something being given to everyone. Later,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesterndoctor.com\/p\/how-much-damage-have-vaccines-done\" rel=\"\">large surveys showed<\/a>\u00a07% of recipients believed they\u2019d had a \u201cmajor effect from the vaccine,\u201d 13.4% stated they\u2019d developed a \u201csevere health issue\u201d after COVID vaccination, and 34% reported \u201cminor effects\u201d from the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022After Ozempic hit the market, I began seeing a large number of people with minor or moderate issues from it. Because of this, I correctly inferred serious side effects would begin emerging, especially once the higher dose for weight loss began being used.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesterndoctor.com\/p\/how-your-clothes-and-their-materials-231\">https:\/\/www.midwesterndoctor.com\/p\/how-your-clothes-and-their-materials-231<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the fundamental principles in statistics is that variable phenomena tend to distribute on a bell curve, with the average value (e.g.,\u00a0adult American men being 5\u20199\u2014which is a bit above the global average) being by far the most common, while values become exponentially rarer as they move further away from that mean (e.g.,\u00a0only 15%\u00a0of &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/?p=57456\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;The Distribution of Pharmaceutical Injuries&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6,133],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-interest","category-health-tips","category-vaccines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57456"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57456\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57460,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57456\/revisions\/57460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomgrimshaw.com\/tomsblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
