The New York Times Admits Injuries from COVID-19 Shots

From Heartland Daily News
By AnneMarie Schieber
“This is a promising start, but what about the dead?”
The COVID-19 shots have caused multiple, serious injuries, an article in The New York Times acknowledged on May 4.
It is the first time the self-described newspaper of record has reported on the severe side effects from the vaccines, since the massive inoculation campaign that went into full swing starting in January 2021. The article profiled several health professionals with advanced degrees who suffered debilitating injuries ranging from neurological disorders, shingles, hearing loss, tinnitus, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and racing hearts, weeks and months after their COVID-19 shots.
‘I’m Told I’m Not Real’
The patients, all familiar with the internal workings of the health care system, described their utter frustration with their complaints not being taken seriously.
“I can’t get the government to help me,” Shaun Barcavage, a 54-year-old nurse practitioner from New York City told the Times. Barcavage now suffers from tinnitus after suffering from stinging in his eyes, mouth, and genitals upon getting his first COVID shot. “I’m told I’m not real. I’m told I’m coincidence.”
Similarly, Gregory Poland, editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine, found little interest in his condition, according to the Times. Poland has urged his contacts at the Centers for Disease Control to examine the connection between the shots and tinnitus, which has afflicted him.
“I just don’t get any sense of movement,” Poland told the Times. “If they have done studies, those studies should be published.”
Changing Times?
The 3,244-word article—which the Times says was the result of months of investigation—highlights reports of COVID shot injuries reported by patients, conservative media outlets, and courageous doctors almost immediately after the vaccine campaign got underway, but were dismissed by the Times and other mainstream media outlets.
“That it took The New York Times more than three years to report on COVID side effects is just the latest indictment against our corrupt corporate legacy media,” said Jim Lakely, vice president and communications director at The Heartland Institute, which publishes Health Care News. “Back when such reporting would have been just as true, and actually mattered, the likes of The New York Times characterized all talk of negative side effects of a rushed COVID treatment as ‘disinformation’ and unproven ‘conspiracy theories.’”
Traditionally, journalism’s role was to remain neutral and to be skeptical of power, but the pandemic proved that corporate media outlets can no longer be trusted to report the news, and the article is the Times’ attempt to rehabilitate its image, says Lakely.
“The same legacy media that led the charge to de-platform and shame any free-thinking American who dared to question government narratives and mandates during the pandemic does not get points, for now, starting to gently report what has been true since the spring of 2020,” Lakely said.
Never Mind Deaths
“This is a promising start, but what about the dead?” wrote Jeff Childers on May 4 in his Coffee and COVID Substack. Childers has meticulously documented the “sudden deaths” of young, healthy people who received the COVID shots.
“Never mind!” wrote Childers. “Here we find the first serious gap in the article’s coverage. The Times avoided this difficult issue, only briefly referring to possible deaths. But maybe it was too much to expect in this cautious, tentative first step toward officially acknowledging that ‘Houston, we may have a problem.’”
Sudden deaths began getting serious attention late in 2022 after insurance executives started noticing a rise in death claims of young, working-age people. Pilots, whose health is closely monitored, oddly began dying mid-flight.
Also missing from the article is any mention of Peter McCullough, M.D., who has become one of the most recognizable names around the globe warning people about the mRNA shots. “No, I was not contacted,” McCullough told Health Care News.
‘Politics At Play’
Childers says the timing of the Times article is suspicious, noting that former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who championed pandemic mitigation measures, went on national television recently to discuss his COVID shot injuries.
“I’m speculating, a lot, but cynically I sense politics at play,” wrote Childers. “We’re six months out from the election. Who does admitting even partial failure of the vaccine program help, politically, and who does it hurt? The acknowledgment of the reality of widespread, unaddressed vaccine injuries would seem to hurt President Trump the most.”

2025 Federal Election
Conservatives promise to ban firing of Canadian federal workers based on COVID jab status

From LifeSiteNews
The Conservative platform also vows that the party will oppose mandatory digital ID systems and a central bank digital currency if elected.
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party’s 2025 election platform includes a promise to “ban” the firing of any federal worker based “solely” on whether or not they chose to get the COVID shots.
On page 23 of the “Canada First – For A Change” plan, which was released on Tuesday, the promise to protect un-jabbed federal workers is mentioned under “Protect Personal Autonomy, Privacy, and Data Security.”
It promises that a Conservative government will “Ban the dismissal of federal workers based solely on COVID vaccine status.”
The Conservative Party also promises to “Oppose any move toward mandatory digital ID systems” as well as “Prohibit the Bank of Canada from developing or implementing a central bank digital currency.”
In October 2021, the Liberal government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers and those in the transportation sector. The government also announced that the unjabbed would no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train, both domestically and internationally.
This policy resulted in thousands losing their jobs or being placed on leave for non-compliance. It also trapped “unvaccinated” Canadians in the country.
COVID jab mandates, which also came from provincial governments with the support of the federal government, split Canadian society. The shots have been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects, such as death, including in children.
Many recent rulings have gone in favor of those who chose not to get the shots and were fired as a result, such as an arbitrator ruling that one of the nation’s leading hospitals in Ontario must compensate 82 healthcare workers terminated after refusing to get the jabs.
Beyond health concerns, many Canadians, especially Catholics, opposed the injections on moral grounds because of their link to fetal cell lines derived from the tissue of aborted babies.

RFK Jr. Launches Long-Awaited Offensive Against COVID-19 mRNA Shots

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
As millions of Americans anxiously await action from the new HHS leadership against the COVID-19 mRNA injections—injected into over 9 million children this year—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has finally gone publicly on the offensive:
Let’s go over each key point made by RFK Jr.:
The recommendation for children was always dubious. It was dubious because kids had almost no risk for COVID-19. Certain kids that had very profound morbidities may have a slight risk. Most kids don’t.
In the largest review to date on myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. COVID-19 vaccination, Mead et al found that vaccine-induced myocarditis is not only significantly more common but also more severe—particularly in children and young males. Our findings make clear that the risks of the shots overwhelmingly outweigh any theoretical benefit:
The OpenSAFELY study included more than 1 million adolescents and children and found that myocarditis was documented ONLY in COVID-19 vaccinated groups and NOT after COVID-19 infection. There were NO COVID-19-related deaths in any group. A&E attendance and unplanned hospitalization were higher after first vaccination compared to unvaccinated groups:
So why are we giving this to tens of millions of kids when the vaccine itself does have profound risk? We’ve seen huge associations of myocarditis and pericarditis with strokes, with other injuries, with neurological injuries.
The two largest COVID-19 vaccine safety studies ever conducted, involving 99 million (Faksova et al) and 85 million people (Raheleh et al), confirm RFK Jr.’s concerns, documenting significantly increased risks of serious adverse events following vaccination, including:
- Myocarditis (+510% after second dose)
- Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (+278% after first dose)
- Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (+223% after first dose)
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome (+149% after first dose)
- Heart Attack (+286% after second dose)
- Stroke (+240% after first dose)
- Coronary Artery Disease (+244% after second dose)
- Cardiac Arrhythmia (+199% after first dose)
And this was clear even in the clinical data that came out of Pfizer. There were actually more deaths. There were about 23% more deaths in the vaccine group than the placebo group. We need to ask questions and we need to consult with parents.
Actually, according to the Pfizer’s clinical trial data, there were 43% more deaths in the vaccine group compared to the placebo group when post-unblinding deaths are included:
We need to give people informed consent, and we shouldn’t be making recommendations that are not good for the population.
Public acknowledgment of the grave harms of COVID-19 vaccines signals that real action is right around the corner. However, we must hope that action is taken for ALL age groups, as no one is spared from their life-reducing effects:
Alessandria et al (n=290,727, age > 10 years): People vaccinated with 2 doses lost 37% of life expectancy compared to the unvaccinated population during follow-up.
