This is episode 41 of A Shot in the Dark Part 15, the hepatitis A vaccine.
And I am the only person, it seems, in these United States on this planet we call Earth in this city called Minneapolis, here in a state the colonizers named Minnesota, taken from the natives known as the Dakota and the Lakota and several more tribes such as White Earth Nation and so many more that I feel bad about not knowing exactly, but we'll take the time to learn more about when I can.
This is Gish Gallup Girl, and as I was saying in spraying, this is the only podcast in the world that does what we do because I must have some damaged part of my fucking brain or psyche that causes me to listen to Candace Owens scream bloody murder as I pass through amazing picturesque landscapes here in central Minnesota and cut the fucking clips to research and present to you.
I am Thomas Anderson and with me as always is.
How the fuck am I supposed to follow that?
I know I've said that three times in a row now, but how the fuck am I supposed to follow that?
You're not.
You're doing great.
Or you could have one queued up for yourself, but I'm not going to tell you what to do with your life.
I'm drinking a shitty blonde root beer.
My name is Matthew Anderson.
There you go.
See, that's a start.
Which one is that?
Old Oaks blonde root beer.
It says blonde root beer, but it's cream soda.
Don't let them lie to you.
Okay.
Yeah, it smells like a cream soda from here.
What the fuck?
That's right.
What the fuck?
And today we're going to talk about Candace Owens' almost obscenely bad take on the hepatitis A vaccine from part 15 of her medical bullshit series, A Shot in the Dark.
You need a moment?
I'll crashing down on you right now.
That was the easiest part of the show to write.
The fucking intro was the easiest part.
Here's my question.
Did you write it?
It's like a run-on sentence or does it have like spaces?
Pretty much.
Yeah, no, there's just commas in there.
Okay.
You didn't even take time to express the commas, I don't think.
No.
No, why would I do that?
I feel like you only took maybe two long fulls of air to do that.
I needed air.
Yeah.
Turns out you need it to keep going.
See, we're all stuck on big air.
That's what it is.
If we can get off of big oxygen, we'll all be better.
You know, I think that's what I'll use as the next time I have a conversation with a crazy conspiracy theorist and I need to one-up them just Oh, you don't like Big Pharma?
Have you never heard of big airmen?
They supply the world with oxygen.
We're breathing their air.
You got to kick your oxygen habit, my friend.
I haven't taken a breath since the 90s, and look at how good I look.
I just take big, deep breaths.
I get all that I can, and then I hold it in until I'm about to pass out, and I release it.
You should try it sometime.
Let's all do it together.
And then walk away.
Yeah, so first, a little catch-up on Candace.
She is still using the killing of her friend, Charlie Kirk, to make wild-ass accusations and make enemies among the other people she used to call friends, such as everyone at the Daily Wire.
Yeah.
I sincerely hope that her husband regrets every day of his life, and I hope that her children survive her bullshit.
Moving on.
When I wrote this, it was on day 36 of the government shutdown, and life was weird, but we all kept living as if it would get better.
And it, well, that's debatable.
Yeah, that's debatable.
Yeah.
So I explained, now you were not present for this.
I recorded an update, an update episode, if you will, because that's what I titled it.
I recorded an update episode in the car the other day.
It comes between, you know, episode 40 and this one.
Of course.
And I kind of updated everybody on the fact that we would not be doing one last week.
Because I had to fucking work because I have to fucking work more often, especially because of what's coming up with the government insurance.
Yeah.
The fact that our insurance is going from $100 a month, which was admittedly affordable, hence Affordable Care Act, to $500 a month, which I'm not bitching is still better than a lot of other people are paying.
It's still better than a lot of people are going to get stuck with in the new year.
And the Republicans said that they would, they got the Democrats to cave in by saying that they would promise to do a vote on the Senate floor for extending the subsidies that made the Affordable Care Act affordable for people.
They promised to do a vote.
And one of the idiots, one of the absolute idiots that was trying to defend why she flipped said, oh, well, if they cave in on, if they don't do it, if they don't take that vote, then it'll just show the American people that they have no scruples.
And it's like, lady, these are Nazis.
Yeah.
What part of this aren't you understanding?
But like of the six people that walked to the other side to give them the numbers they needed, none of them are up for re-election next year.
They're all safe.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
So, you know, they fucked everything and possibly everybody.
So if you live in one of those areas where one of those people fucked us and your health care goes through the roof or your mother loses her health care coverage or whatever the fuck happens in your personal life, know the names of those six, especially if they live in your area.
And yeah, fuck them over.
Fuck them over.
Fuck them people.
So let's get on with the show.
To start with, in this episode, Candace pats herself on the back for an accomplishment that is most assuredly not hers.
But I would also be fine if she took all the credit.
All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of A Shot in the Dark.
Very excited to dive into the HEPA vaccine today, but also excited because there are some things that are happening in the nation, which lets me know that this show is not being done in vain.
So this report just recently got released, or at least it's making headlines, I should say, the CDC is reporting that more parents are declining vaccines.
Now, if you are a pro-vax person, this is a devastating headline too.
But if you are a person that just believes in parents actually being informed when they make decisions for their children, then this is wonderful.
It means that parents are no longer just doing whatever the doctors say.
It means parents are perhaps researching, performing that research outside of the doctors and nurses that are constantly putting pressure on them to get vaccines about things that they don't know about.
I wish I had those numbers.
Now, I cut that one short because she is about to get into a longer story.
I have massive doubts that Candace's shitty, low-budget, assertions without facts, show about vaccines behind a paywall, did anything to push the wider public on or off of vaccines.
I went looking anyway, of course, because that is what I do.
And I went looking for any information on Daily Wire Plus viewership numbers with a particular focus on the numbers that Candace was putting up on the network before she was removed from the service.
So I just reached out to the Daily Wire.
And let me tell you that their contact us text box is somehow worse than anything I interacted with, including especially the early days of the internet.
When I had a dial-up modem I used for web surfing on my Sega Saturn.
It was called the NetLink.
It was awesome.
And I did not use a keyboard or a mouse with it.
I used a game controller and I did some pretty amazing shit at the time.
The interfaces for similar things now are actually worse.
Yeah, that's believable.
Sega deserved a lot of credit for doing the things they did.
Anyway, I will update this space so they actually respond.
Since that was almost three weeks ago and they have not responded.
Fuck, it's been three weeks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I simply asked them to provide me with viewership numbers from this period of Candace's episodes.
I never actually expected them to respond or provide it, but, you know, we'll see.
Yeah.
Maybe in the future, I can, you know, come back.
Hey, here's an update and insert that or whatever the fuck.
Anyway, but now, here is Candace with a family story.
Oh, she's got one.
So, before we jump into the CDC report, I do want to anecdotally tell you what just happened.
So my little sister, not to be confused with my older sister, just had a baby this past week.
Very excited.
She welcomed a healthy baby boy.
Now, my little sister is still team vax because she does not watch my show.
Unbelievably, you wouldn't believe this.
My sisters are not big canisters fairs.
They just want to be my sister.
They don't follow my career everywhere and they have no idea what's going in terms of my politics, my show, or this show even really.
But anyways, my little sister is not anti-vax.
That is the purpose of me sharing that with you.
And she had a relatively, you know, I would describe it as a good birth.
I think she would describe it as well.
Went to the hospital.
They induced her.
You know, as soon as they realize that they can't collect health insurance anymore and all of your visits are up, suddenly they problematize your birth.
They told her that her fluids were low.
That may be true.
I'm not saying it's not true, but it's just always ironic that it's right when they can no longer bill for insurance.
And then they induced her and she got the Pitocin and had her baby in her arms 12 hours later.
So for her, that is a very good birth, did not end in a C-section, which I think is what she weighs it against and what she considers to be a bad birth.
And last time she was laboring for two days.
So anyways, healthy baby boy.
And she tells me that when they're at the hospital, this doctor came to her and said, hey, you're so lucky.
You are so lucky because we actually have extra RSV vaccines at the hospital and you can give it to your infant son that was just born.
And my sister was like, what are you talking about?
We don't even know what you're talking about.
It's just fresh off of the market.
In fact, they don't even have enough to give to the pediatricians.
This is in such minimal source, such minimal supply, rather, that you are the lucky person.
She said she felt like she was in the scene of Willy Wonka and like they were trying to express to her that she had had this golden ticket.
And he was like, of course you want to take it, right?
I mean, you're so lucky that you and your baby and we have some extra vials in the back and we're happy to give your baby this brand new RSV vaccine.
And I'm telling you, if you don't take it here, the chances of your pediatrician having it are low to none.
And she just couldn't believe it.
She couldn't believe it.
She's very pro-vax, as I've explained multiple times.
And she's going, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I know nothing about this vaccine.
I've just given birth and you're telling me that you have something fresh off the market that you are going to put into my brand new baby.
Okay, so imagine my shock at discovering that there is actually some basis of truth to this.
When this episode aired in December of 2023, this was mostly true.
RSV immunizations were being offered in Connecticut at hospitals only.
Orders would be placed throughout the year to send to clinics later, but hospitals were the only place to get the immunizations.
Two were available.
One for infants up to eight months of age and the other for pregnant women.
However, I have used the word immunization and not vaccine because these are not vaccines.
The first link in the link stack is from a Connecticut pediatric practice that describes the whole thing in easy to understand language with a decent Q ⁇ A section.
Before we let Candace go on, I want to take this opportunity to discuss RSV since she obviously will not.
First, I want to tackle and clear up what she said about her sister who was getting induced, possibly getting a C-section ordered by her doctor.
Included in the link stack as the second link is a story by Washington University Medicine, which has the fun name of WashU Medicine.
Which sounds like a soap company, but anyway, it is an article about how inducing labor at 39 weeks reduces the likelihood of C-sections.
It is an interesting read, but it is based on studies that show a low double-digit percentage of C-sections were ordered on labor situations that involved induction at 39 weeks.
That article is from 2018.
I am pretty sure that unless other more severe factors were at play, such as obesity, Candace's sister was going to be fine.
That all said, kudos to her sister for not being aware of Candace's work in any way, but also shame on her for not being aware that her sister is a fucking narcissist with a webcam of millions of idiot followers.
You know, something tells me that maybe her sisters do know and they just like do the smart thing at family occasions and just pretends that they don't know because they don't want to try and engage her.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They want to stay as far away as possible.
That could be true.
I mean, that's why she don't mention her brother.
Yeah, she never mentions her brother.
Yeah.
Her brother only got a passing mention in her idiot blackout book.
Which the fucking WashU Medicine just spurs to my head like you said, a soap company that just makes like alternative medicine soaps.
Yeah, well, like Dr. Bronner's.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Or Dr. Teal is a brand right here.
Well, Dr. Bronner's is a soap brand.
Dr. Teal's is Epsom salts and shit.
Right.
Yeah.
I have to buy both of those on a regular basis for people.
I'm familiar with them in that regard.
But moving on, let's discuss RSV and why the kid might have wanted that immunization.
Kitty has entered the chat.
Can you get the door there?
Yep.
Okay.
So I pulled the following information from healthdirect.gov.au because it's a good resource and Australia still deserves praise for barring Candace from even visiting.
Anyway, from the source linked third in the show notes, respiratory syncial virus, respiratory synthial virus, is a virus that causes infection in the lungs and airways.
It is highly contagious.
It is one of the most common causes of respiratory breathing infections in children, including the common cold.
RSV can affect people of all ages, but is likely to be more serious for infants aged 12 months or under, young children or older adults with chronic health conditions.
You can get RSV multiple times.
Recovery from RSV gives some immunity protection against getting it again, but this immunity is not long-lasting.
In most people, RSV causes mild respiratory illness.
You usually first notice symptoms around five days after being exposed to the virus.
You may feel increasingly unwell over the first three to four days of the illness and then start to improve.
Symptoms may include runny nose, cough, sneezing, wheezing, and fever.
If your baby is younger than one year, they are more likely to develop breathing problems caused by bronchiolitis or pneumonia.
Young children may develop wheezing and difficulty breathing, especially if they have asthma.
Your baby may have difficulty feeding and may be unsettled.
They may need to go to a hospital if they have breathing or feeding difficulties.
RSV is a highly contagious virus that causes lung and airway infections.
It spreads through tiny droplets released when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes.
Being in close contact with someone who has RSV increases the likelihood of you getting the virus.
You are usually infectious and can pass on the virus for up to eight days from when your symptoms begin.
RSV is very contagious.
The virus can live on surfaces for several hours or on your unwashed hands for 30 to 60 minutes.
It can be difficult to stop the spread of RSV.
Practicing hand washing and good hygiene can help to avoid passing the virus on to others.
RSV can be diagnosed by a laboratory test on samples taken from your nose and throat, a blood test to look for antibodies to the virus.
Most doctors will be able to diagnose a child with severe RSV infection based on their signs and symptoms.
Home testing kits are also available that can test for a range of viruses including RSV, influenza, and COVID-19.
There is no specific treatment for RSV, but having lots of rest and drinking plenty of fluids will help you recover.
Most people recover from RSV in about 10 days.
Antibiotics don't work against RSV because it is a virus.
You can usually manage mild cases of RSV at home.
Often you won't need to give your baby medicine and all they will need is rest.
There are some things you can do at home to make sure your baby stays hydrated and comfortable.
It may be easier for your baby to drink small amounts often, so offer your baby the bottle or the breast at frequent intervals.
If your baby has a fever, treat your baby with paracetamol or ibuprofen in doses recommended on the bottle.
Young babies, premature babies, babies with pre-existing heart and lung conditions, and babies with severe bronchiolitis may need to go to hospital for help with breathing or feeding.
If your baby is younger than three months old and has a fever above 38 degrees Celsius, I'm not converting that, take them to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately or call triple zero and ask for an ambulance.
I forget that their numbers triple zero.
Yep.
Treating young children with RSV is similar to treating babies with RSV.
It is important to offer your child small amounts of fluid often.
You can bring down your child's fever with paracetamol or ibuprofen.
If your child attends daycare, it is important not to send them back until they are feeling well.
If your child is breathing or feeding difficulties, they may need to go to hospital.
It is not possible to prevent RSV infection, but vaccines and other immunization products can help reduce the severity of illness, particularly in the very young children and older people.
RSV vaccination is recommended for pregnant women to protect their newborn infant.
All people 75 years and older and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people 60 years and older.
Like I said, it's Australia.
People 60 years and older with medical risk factors for severe RSV disease and RSV medicine, monoclonal antibodies, is recommended for young infants whose mothers did not receive the RSV vaccine in pregnancy or who were vaccinated less than two weeks before birth.
Young infants who are at increased risk of severe RSV disease, regardless of their mother's vaccination status, children who have medical risk factors for severe RSV disease in their second RSV season.
And conditions that increase the risk of severe disease in children include children born premature, cardiac disease, chronic respiratory conditions, neuromuscular disorders, including cerebral palsy and spinal muscular atrophy, immunocompromising conditions, Down syndrome, and conditions that increase the risk of severe disease in adults include chronic metabolic disorders including diabetes, chronic kidney disease, stage four or five, chronic liver disease,
chronic neurological conditions including seizure disorder, living with obesity.
And most states and territories in Australia have announced a free access to monoclonal antibody treatments for eligible children.
To find out more information, speak to your doctor, child health nurse, or vaccine provider.
Then it goes on to talk more specifically about what vaccines are available in Australia for pregnant women.
But since it might not be the same here at any given time, I'm going to stop there and tell you that if this applies to you in Australia, also known as Redneck England, by all means, click the link and read on.
Also, 30 degrees Celsius is 86 Fahrenheit.
Okay.
For the people who don't use Celsius.
Yeah.
Also known as the rest of the fucking world.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, no, a good chunk of the world uses Celsius.
That's what I'm saying.
The rest of the fucking world.
Oh, wait.
Yeah, no.
I get what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, no.
The rest of the world uses Celsius.
We're weird in America.
Yeah.
Okay, there we are.
We found it.
We found it in the end.
Yeah.
So.
But if you are pregnant elsewhere in the world, please find out what options are available to you and get vaccinated.
The vaccines available for pregnant persons are safe and passed to the baby, giving them an immunity for the first six months of life to RSV.
So mother and child are taken care of, all of which was readily available information that could have been explained to Candace's sister.
And I find it hard to believe that it was not explained to her.
Moving on, Candace will compare a doctor offering a life-saving, or at the very least, a common cold cheat code vaccine to a parent to, you know, lean money making machines serving fiends.
Does that even make any sense?
And it was so funny because it's so reminiscent of everything that we know about drug dealers.
But for whatever reason, when we are in a hospital, we don't compute.
We're just like, Mrs. O's is a doctor trying and trying to help me.
I mean, it literally sounds to me like a drug dealer on a corner being like, yeah, I got some new stuff.
You're lucky.
You know, this is really hot right now.
This is the stuff that you really want to get.
And I'm telling you, this is flying off.
Everybody wants this.
And this is the stuff that you want to buy.
By the way, just to be clear, I don't buy drugs from drug dealers, but I've seen a lot of movies and cultural depictions.
And so that is what I'm relying on here.
Okay, docs, dealers, and drama.
First off, shame on you for not recognizing that I did a Dr. Dre line in that last one.
I don't.
Lean Money Making Machine Serving Fiends is from the epic song that he did with Tupac back in the late 90s that had a Mad Max inspired music video called California Love.
I've only listened to that song one time after you told me to look up the music video for it because the music video is very Mad Max for no apparent good reason.
They had a budget.
You're telling me if you don't, if you have a Mad Max budget, you're not going to spend it on Mad Max shit.
That's what you're telling me?
I mean, I guess.
Yeah, that's fair.
That's fair.
God.
That song is great.
It's the only song I like between the two of those guys.
It just, it hits a part in my brain that I can't explain.
Okay, so that was a short clip at 40 seconds, but I wanted to just pause here for a moment to discuss a through line among grifters.
You see this a lot with Alex Jones and anyone at Infowars, and KnowledgeFight has pointed this out a ton of times, but it's this living in fantasy mindset that they all share.
I have known a lot of drug dealers, and very few have ever talked like that directly.
Usually those types were the ones wearing a wire for the cops, using what they thought of as ghetto slang to signal to the police that they were definitely doing something illegal.
Most others speak carefully, if at all, if they don't know you.
If they do know you, it's usually more social, but I never knew a single one that had to push any single product.
Usually, they deal with people that know exactly what they want, and the dealer has it, or they know someone that does, and they might broker the relationship or send someone on.
They're not trying to get caught, be flashy, or do more than sell what they have to people that seek them out.
Candace is using a trope provided to her by propaganda shows like Law and Order.
Anyway, comparing it to doctors literally trying to not only save lives, but also save beds in a resource-strapped hospital is fucking gross.
Moving on, she gets way too happy about something that should really piss people off.
The point being is that these are drug pushers.
These are drug dealers and they're dressed up and they're in a hospital, but it's effectively the same thing.
Why on earth would you push something without letting the person become educated about it, especially when the baby just came out of the womb?
So they held their ground, obviously.
They decided not to get that particular vaccine, but it was something that she said to me because she was just like, you are making me realize that they're quite pushy, that these people are sort of dealers and that parents have to be cognizant of that and not just to trust implicitly and be willing to do their own research.
So now jumping back into this CDC report that is making headlines, reporting that more parents are declining vaccines than ever.
Here we are.
This is an NBC headline.
So the number of kids who caregivers are opting them out of routine childhood vaccines has reached an all-time high, the CDC, a center for controller prevention, reported on Thursday, potentially leaving hundreds of thousands of children unprotected against preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough.
Well, we're on episode 15 of Shot in the Dark, so by now you are probably not as afraid of measles as you should be.
And regarding whooping cough, also known as pertussis, you are aware that these outbreaks that keep happening are happening amongst vaccinated kids and not amongst the unvaccinated kids.
So you are now an educated person and reading that line does not scare you.
It says the report did not dive into the reasons for the increase, but experts said, you must always trust the experts, that the findings clearly reflect Americans' growing unease about medicine in general.
A quote from Dr. Amna Hussein, a pediatrician in a private practice in North Carolina, says, there is a rising distrust in the healthcare system.
Vaccine exemptions have unfortunately trended upward with it.
The CDC report found that 3% of children entering kindergarten during the 2022 and 2023 school year were granted a vaccine exemption from their state.
This is the highest exemption rate ever reported in the United States.
40 states saw a rise in exemptions.
In 10 of those states, Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, and Wisconsin, the exemption rate soared over 5%.
This is quite a jump, says Renee Sether, a CDC epidemiologist and the author of the new report.
Just three years ago, she says only two states had an exemption rate of more than 5%.
It is, get ready, guys, Idaho.
That is the standout in the new report because more than 12% of children that are entering kindergarten in that state had a vaccine exemption in 2022.
And the trend appears to coincide with doubts about the COVID vaccine.
Imagine that, guys.
Imagine how the world changes when you lie, when you get caught lying, when you get caught lying, and there's no recourse.
When you have a bunch of people who very much believed in you and thought that people like me were just fringe and crazy for saying that we didn't vaccinate our children, and for years, they relied on the doctors and the nurses convincing them that the anti-vax crowd is totally wacko.
They trusted themselves, they trusted their children, they trusted their own bodies and the bodies of their children to the medical establishment.
And the medical establishment lied to them with the full enforcement of the mainstream media.
They used fear tactics.
They used shaming tactics.
Oh, you know, roll up your sleeve, get the vaccine, save lives.
We're all in this together.
You're a grandma killer if you don't do this.
What's wrong with you?
I mean, many people feel a lot of shame because they relied on the experts.
And why wouldn't they?
Of course, we're taught they go to school.
We're taught that they take the Hippocratic Oath.
We're taught that they want to help you.
And then they adopted those principles and shamed their own families and friends, right?
You remember this.
We lived through COVID just a couple of years ago.
And you may have been on either side of that token, which I do not fault you at all.
Again, it was almost like psychological warfare.
You may have said to your relative, why on earth wouldn't you get this COVID vaccine?
We have a dad, we have a mom, they're older, and why wouldn't you do this?
How could you be so selfish?
Because that's what you were being told over and over again, that it was a selfish act not to get the vaccine.
And then maybe you did get the vaccine.
Maybe your mom got the vaccine.
Maybe your dad got the vaccine.
And they are suffering the effects of that ever since.
So yes, your trust in the medical establishment has now been broken.
And unfortunately, that is one of those things.
When you lose trust in an individual, when you lose trust in an establishment, it is very hard to regain it.
And that was something that I thought was so stunning.
I thought, you know what?
Even if all of this propaganda has seized people temporarily, it will eventually fall apart.
My grandfather used to always say, and I think this is also just a common expression.
It probably didn't come from my grandfather originally.
But, you know, a lie can make its way around the world before the truth even gets up to put its shoes on.
And yeah, the person who actually is quoted is not who most people familiar with the quote think it is.
I myself thought it was a Winston Churchill quote, with the original being that a lie makes its way around the world before the truth has even got its pants on.
However, I found out that Winston Churchill did not say this ever in any form, apparently.
It is frequently misattributed to him.
The original quote actually goes back to Jonathan Swift, who said in 1710, falsehood flies and the truth comes limping after it.
Which I actually think is better.
Yeah.
But anyway, the phrase has evolved over time, and I looked into why it gets misattributed to Winston Churchill, and I wound up finding out about the concept of Churchillian drift, which is a common phenomenon of people linking things to Churchill or Mark Twain or any number of famous dead persons, things that they think they would say, but never really ever did.
Anyway, I was hoping it was Churchill due to how much Candace claims to despise the man.
You know, since he was instrumental in keeping Britain alive during World War II, he was no saint, but he was arguably a good prime minister, while at the same time being a terrible colonist.
Anyway, I let her go long on that clip for more than that material.
The NBC article she was reading from, of course, as is her way, she did not read the full thing.
She interjected her own bullshit into it.
As usual, it isn't even a very long article, so I'm going to read from it in full.
It is in the link stack, and the original post was on November 9th, 2023, by Erica Edwards for NBC News.
Anyway, here we go.
The number of kids whose caregivers are opting them out of routine childhood vaccines has reached an all-time high, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday, potentially leaving hundreds of thousands of children unprotected against preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough.
The report did not dive into the reasons for the increase, but experts said the findings clearly reflect Americans' growing unease about medicine in general.
There is a rising distrust on the healthcare system, said Dr. Amna Hussain, a pediatrician in private practice in North Carolina, as well as a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Vaccine exemptions have unfortunately trended upward with it, she says.
The CDC report found that 3% of children entering kindergarten during the 2022 to 2023 school year, 3% of children were granted a vaccine exemption from their state.
This is the highest exemption rate ever reported in the U.S. 40 states saw rises in exemptions.
In 10 states, Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, and Wisconsin, the exemption rate soared over 5%.
This is quite a jump, said Renee Sither, a CDC epidemiologist and author of the new report.
Just three years ago, Seether said, only two states had an exemption rate of more than 5%.
Idaho was a standout in the new report.
More than 12% of children entering kindergarten in that state had a vaccine exemption in 2022.
The trend appears to coincide with doubts about COVID vaccines.
And this is where Candace stopped reading and interjected several minutes of her own bullshit.
But this is now the rest of the article.
So many people were reluctant to get that new vaccine, said Dr. Mashika Roberts, health commissioner for Columbus Public Health.
She feared that it would, quote, have a trickle-down effect and impact vaccination coverage for our children.
It would have a trickle-down effect and impact vaccination coverage for our children, end quote.
The report also found that vaccination rates among young kids have remained stagnant following a pandemic-related dip in coverage.
As of the 2022 to 2023 school year, vaccination coverage among kindergartners remained at 93%.
Before the pandemic, the rate had consistently hovered around 95%.
Generally, populations need 95% immunity to protect against viral outbreaks.
The fact that we haven't been able to recover is concerning, said Shannon Stokely, Deputy Director for Science Implementation at CDC's Immunization Services Division.
It means there are children who may be unprotected from very serious diseases.
While states differ in their vaccination requirements for attending public and most private schools, they generally include vaccines to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella, the MMR vaccine, diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis, or DTAP, poliovirus, and chickenpox.
Some states require medical evidence that a child cannot receive a vaccine.
In others, parents cite religious or other personal concerns about vaccines.
It's very easy to get an exemption in the state of Ohio, Roberts said.
Very easy.
It was Roberts who dealt with a measles outbreak in central Ohio this time last year.
The first cases were associated with a person who had traveled overseas to an area with an ongoing measles outbreak.
But the virus quickly spread among children left unprotected.
Kids who had not been vaccinated against measles, Roberts said, were infected just by being in the same doctor's office as kids sickened with measles.
Overall, 85 people became ill, all under the age of 16.
No deaths were reported, but 36 of those patients had to be hospitalized, mostly for dehydration from intense diarrhea.
All of this occurred during a time when hospitals were already dealing with surges in COVID, RSV, and flu.
We really have to have our guard up, said Dr. Julie Merida, executive vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and former head of the Chicago Department of Public Health.
We've forgotten how bad these diseases actually are.
And that is the article.
Candace declined to read the rest, of course, because it doesn't fit with her version of events at all.
Particularly the part about how the kids with measles gave it unwillingly to non-vaxxed kids and non-vaxed kids in a doctor's office with measles, kids could get it.
Her version of events always breaks down in the entire sourcing.
And what's funny enough is how we even proved this in the last episode with MMR, because Andrew Wakefield's report, which I guarantee she in no way read or understood, is self-contradicting.
Oof.
Candace will now go on to try to butter up the pay pigs.
Of course.
That's the truth.
And now it has put its shoes on.
And people are going, okay, well, if you had the audacity to lie on this global of a scale, to ruin my relationships, to harm my body or to harm the body of somebody that I know, I can't trust you.
I don't put anything past you.
And that's what we are seeing.
Now the people, as I said, that were considered fringe, are being listened to.
And people are starting to recognize how rational it is.
We're not trying to push you.
We're not trying to bully you into any certain decisions.
We just want you to be educated.
We want you to understand what these financial kickbacks are, why there is this incentive to get you in the door and to vax your children one size fit all.
What are the financial profits that are being made at the top of this?
If you took a Hippocratic oath, why would you kick a child out for not being fully vaccinated?
Does it even make sense to kick a child out?
Isn't your job, no matter what that condition of the child is, to help them?
And especially when that child is healthy.
That gets even more bizarre.
Why are you kicking out my healthy child?
There's nothing wrong with my child.
Oh, well, you didn't listen to us.
That's authoritarian.
That's got nothing to do with science principally.
Well, so that is the good news.
I am very excited about that.
I am very excited to see this because I know that these individuals are not doing this out of a lack of knowledge.
They're actually doing it out of a wealth of knowledge.
Yeah.
So, and we have discussed everything she just mentioned there, with reasons, many.
And no, the people opting out of getting their kids vaccinated, I'm willing to give them a small bit of grace because anyone can be fooled by a grifter.
However, We live in a connected day and age, and these people are capable of looking into what is being said and analyze it.
They are choosing not to do so for whatever reason they may have.
The ones that do not get their kids vaxed because they literally cannot do that for medical reasons, okay, fine.
I see no problem with that.
But the ones that operate entirely on grifter ignorance, those people are the worst because they are not even taking the simple step, the next simple goddamn step of going, oh, let me read the resource she's talking about and see for themselves that the lie is right there.
Part of me believes that it must be the sunk cost fallacy working overtime.
But I also think that modern life is in general so fucked for so many people that it is simply easier to park their brain, their belief structure, their whatever.
It is simply easier to park it all into people like Candace or RFK or Nick Fuentes or Trump and so on than to look up what they are being told is gospel truth.
But the question I get sometimes and that I have answered before for people is, how do I combat a grifter like Candace?
Not everyone has the time, effort, or energy to do a show like this or to gather these facts or to get someone to listen and think critically about her kind of noise.
Well guys, it's easier than all of that.
If you have someone close to you who is on the, who is in the line of thought that makes them a fan of any of these numbskulls, the way to get them out is easy, but you have to be willing to spend time with them.
Excuse me.
Ask them to show you the proof that they're talking about.
Let's go with the whole big lie that Candace is known for right now, the Brigitte Macrone being a trans woman lie.
I used to engage with people that would swear this was true.
Back when I was on Reddit, I would get them in DMs and ask them simply to show the work.
Not in a mean or condescending way, just genuine curiosity.
I knew the truth, of course, and I was always open about having done this show.
And I would direct them, if they were of a mind to listen, I would direct them to our episode, Poussard the Coward, where Candace interviewed Xavier Poussard through a translator.
And to remind y'all, Poussard was the publisher of the lies about Mrs. Macrone in his Nazi shit rag in France.
Several listened, and we had conversations about the material.
Others didn't, but they would make statements about Candace's direct lies.
The same would happen with, you know, people defending Candace Owens' take on the Kamala Harris family tree nonsense.
In every case, I asked them to prove the point with actual facts.
But with people I know personally, I asked them to show me the actual facts, and then what we usually wind up discussing is how the person presenting material either doesn't have actual sources or the sources are tainted, which is easy to do if you just go to the fucking source, or the source material doesn't say what they want it to, and so on.
Like one of the things that used to happen pretty frequently when I was, especially when I was going into the Candace Owens subreddit under a different name than my main, I was going in under an alt.
A common question there, a really common question, was people in Candace's book club, which is an extra 10 bucks on Club Candace.
Oh, why?
Okay.
Or it's a separate 10 bucks on Club Candice.
I think you can be part of the book club, but not part of the overall thing.
Anyway, it's $10 goddamn dollar a month.
Yeah.
Now, these people would be very confused.
And they would come into the book club or they would come in from the book club onto the Reddit, onto the subreddit, and they would ask, hey, I've got this book of whatever it was, Hollywood Babylon, or any of these other books that she has no real knowledge of.
They would ask, hey, so I got this book through, you know, whatever means.
I'm just wondering, am I, I'm not seeing what she's saying is in the book.
Am I, do I have a tainted copy?
And, you know, for a true believer, this is a legit question.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I would always engage with it.
These people would get almost no engagement.
Like I would wait like a day sometimes to see if anyone from the actual fan community responded.
Yeah.
And most of the time they didn't.
They didn't know how to engage with that.
How do you, what do you say?
Well, the perfect fucking answer is, no, you have the right book.
Yeah.
You have the right book.
You're not crazy.
Here's the thing.
Candace reads into this stuff what she wants it to be.
You could read the same page as her of anything.
You could both read Green Eggs and Ham.
Candace Owens will have a different takeaway that in no way reflects what's in the book.
Yeah.
She's not smarter.
She doesn't understand printed material.
And, you know, several of them would try to defend her and I'd be like, okay, just the next time you have a discrepancy, look at it.
There's no competing versions of this book.
It was printed one time.
You have a copy of the only copy that ever made it to press.
Yeah, and nobody's going to sit back and, you know, make a fake copy and put it into circulations.
Yeah, that's mass.
Like, like, no, that's, she didn't get a different copy.
I was like, look, the only times that that has happened, it's been laughably bad.
Like when she had a copy of the children's version of Kamala's book.
Right.
Yeah.
And she's like, oh, they removed the pictures.
Like, no, they didn't.
You literally bought the young adult version.
Yeah.
That says in big fucking print, young adult version.
Yeah.
Yeah, fuck off.
Fuck off, Candace.
But yeah, no, I would engage with those people on that level.
Just a simple, you know, show me the proof.
But yeah, my point is that the last minute and a half clip that we just played is one way Candace and other grifters keep the audience coming back for more bullshit because they make them feel good.
And you can do that as an undoing tactic, but you have to invest your time.
Your friends likely did not go from normie to tinfoil hat overnight, and they likely won't come back to reality overnight either.
But they can be shown the light.
Just ask them to show you proof and spend the time.
I find that a lot of people wind up down these rabbit holes because they spend time alone getting a parasocial relationship with these grifters and no one is around that cares about them to tell them otherwise.
Take the time, invest in the people you care about, and when they're out of the hole, encourage them to pass it on.
It's when I hear clips like that one that I get enraged because Candace is encouraging dangerous levels of ignorance and celebrating the worst byproduct of modern life, which is apathy against learning, growing, and pushing back on bullshit.
And now, having thanked the PayPs for working over money for the Daily Wire Plus membership, Candace is going to move on and start on the actual subject matter of the episode.
So guys, we're going to now move on and get into the hepatitis A shot, which is something that is on the childhood vaccination list.
So many vaccines.
It is shocking that we are 15 episodes in and there are still vaccines that we have not even covered yet because I don't know, vaccines save lives, as I must say in every episode.
And so before we get into this, let's even discuss what even is hepatitis A.
So this is going to, I'm going to allow you to think about this because to me, it represents a bit of a conundrum here.
This is straight from the CDC website.
You see that it says, what is hepatitis?
Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver.
It reads.
The liver is a vital organ that processes nutrients, filters the blood, and fights infections.
When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected.
Heavy alcohol use, some medications, toxins, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis.
Now, I'm going to pause there because it's important that we go over this, that this is about your liver and it means that your liver is becoming inflamed.
We all think of our liver in terms of that mechanism of just, okay, this is going to clean stuff out.
And that is why when people are an alcoholic and they experience liver failure, it basically spells a death sentence.
Your liver is just such an important organ.
So how important?
Well, it is the organ in the human body that is responsible for an array of functions that help support metabolism, immunity, digestion, detoxification, chief among them, and vitamin storage.
The liver filters all the blood in the body and breaks down poisonous substances such as alcohol and drugs, as we just explained.
And then this is a question that you must ask then.
Talking about infants, we're talking about children, we're talking about babies.
It's the natural thing you should be thinking is when do livers mature?
Obviously, when your newborn comes out, their liver is not mature.
Here is the answer.
Full maturity takes up to two years after birth to be achieved.
So this precious organ that helps you filter out toxins is not even fully mature until you are two.
It's a question, why on earth are we giving children so many vaccines if we know that their livers cannot necessarily handle that, right?
Wouldn't you just at least want to give them a greater chance rather by allowing that crucial organ to fully mature and fully reach two years of age before we start throwing all these vaccines out of them?
That's just how my brain works, common sense.
That doesn't seem allowed because they want, as I said, my personal view, they want children to be really young when they get all these vaccines because then when your child is acting different or when your child is sick, they can blame it on you.
They can tell you that your child was born this way.
That's how it seems at least to me, because once they're older than two, well, they've got a whole personality and you'll be able to clearly identify the signs that something that you introduce into their body is what caused whatever catastrophe takes place thereafter.
So that is the liver.
That is what the liver does.
It says here, by the way, just going back to what hepatitis A is, hepatitis A virus is found in the stool and the blood of people who are infected.
The hepatitis A virus is spread when someone ingests the virus, usually through person-to-person contact.
Hepatitis A can spread from close to personal contact with an infected person, such as through having sex, caring for someone who is ill, or using drugs with others.
Stunning examples, because they start giving your child this when they are 12 months of age.
So not yet to, not yet somebody with a fully developed liver organ.
And I would say that at the age of one, my child is not having sex caring for someone who is ill or using drugs with others, but I'll have to go back and check.
I'll ask.
I'll ask my child.
I don't know.
But that just does.
I just wonder how high the risks there can be.
Yeah, I titled that one, Liver Links are the worst sausage.
All right, so in that clip, Candace read from three different sources, all of which are in the link stack, of course.
The first one, which she circled back around to, is a PDF from the CDC about hepatitis A.
It is only two pages, but it is an easy-to-read article style set, and I'm going to read the thing now, including especially the shit that Candace doesn't seem to want to touch on, her bullshit approach.
Starts off with, what is hepatitis?
Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver.
The liver is a vital organ that processes nutrients, filters the blood, and fights infections.
When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected.
Heavy alcohol use, some medications, toxins, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis.
Hepatitis is most often caused by a virus.
In the United States, the most common types of viral hepatitis are hepatitis A, B, and C. Although all types of viral hepatitis can cause similar symptoms, they are spread in different ways, have different treatments, and some are more serious than others.
Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus.
Hep A can be prevented with a vaccine.
People who get HEP A may feel sick for a few weeks to several months, but usually recover completely and do not have lasting liver damage.
In rare cases, HEP A can cause liver failure and even death.
This is more common in older people and in people with other serious health types, health issues, sorry, such as chronic liver disease.
So how is hepatitis A spread?
Well, the hepatitis A virus is found in the stool and blood of people who are infected.
The hepatitis A virus is spread when someone spreads, when someone ingests the virus, usually through person-to-person contact.
Hepatitis A can be spread from close personal contact with an infected person, such as through having sex, caring for someone who is ill, or using drugs with others.
Hepatitis A is very contagious, and people can even spread the virus before they feel sick.
Eating contaminated food or drink.
Contamination of food with the hepatitis A virus can happen at any point in growing, harvesting, processing, handling, and even after cooking.
Contamination of food and water happens more often in countries where hepatitis A is common.
Although uncommon, foodborne outbreaks have occurred in the United States for people eating contaminated, fresh, and frozen imported food products.
Now that fucking paragraph that I just fucking read was below the one where it talks about people having sex or sharing needles or whatever the fuck.
It was just below that.
She fucking deliberately fucking skipped the fucking shit.
She skipped the actual information that's going to be pertinent to pretty much every goddamn person, yes.
Yeah, of course.
How common is hepatitis A?
Well, since the hepatitis A vaccine was first recommended in 1996, cases of hepatitis A in the United States have declined dramatically.
Unfortunately, in recent years, the number of people infected has been increasing because there have been multiple outbreaks of hepatitis A in the United States.
These outbreaks have primarily been from person-to-person contact, especially among people who use drugs, people experiencing homelessness, and men who have sex with men.
Hepatitis A can be prevented with a safe and effective vaccine.
Second page.
Vaccination is the best way to prevent hepatitis A.
The hepatitis A vaccine is safe and effective.
The vaccine series usually consists of two shots given six months apart.
Getting both shots provides the best protection against hepatitis A. Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for children, all children aged 12 to 23 months, all children and adolescents 2 to 18 years of age who have not previously received hepatitis A vaccine, known as catch-up vaccinations.
You went through that.
People at increased risk for hepatitis A, international travelers, you know, such as people like Candace Owens.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, she, she, you know, she never got her passport fixed.
Yeah.
Well, she went to, I think I get into it later, but she went to, I think it was Uganda with Ye and Kim.
Way, way back.
I forget that he goes by Ye these days.
I try to remember.
I try to remember because until I see anything of him officially changing it, I'm going to keep calling him Ye.
Because that's what he prefers to be called.
And if I changed my name, even publicly, I would want to have the same respect.
I think he's a terrible person who needs mental help, counseling, and then asylum care.
Think he needs to be away from all of the yes men, all the people that suck his toes when he commands them to.
But he's living his life.
It's not my problem.
That's got to be a messy job.
Sucking someone's toe.
Look, if he's paying you to suck his toes.
I see.
Okay, I'm not in the industry to be sucking someone's toe.
So we have no place to say.
It's not our place.
I mean, I just got to say that it's either A, a messy industry or B. That's got to be some expensive toe suckers.
I hope so.
I hope they're getting their money's worth.
Okay, so people at increased risk for hepatitis A. Back into it.
People who use or inject drugs.
All those who use illegal drugs in parentheses.
People with occupational risk for exposure.
People who anticipate close personal contact with an international adoptee.
People experiencing homelessness.
People at increased risk for severe disease from hepatitis A infections include people with chronic liver disease, including hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and people with HIV.
Other people recommended for vaccination are pregnant women at risk for hepatitis A or risk for severe outcome from hepatitis A infection.
And any person who requests vaccination should be everyone.
Yeah.
You can prevent infection even after you have been exposed.
If you have been exposed to the hepatitis A virus in the last three weeks, talk to your doctor about getting vaccinated.
A single shot of the hepatitis A vaccine can prevent hepatitis A if given within two weeks of exposure.
Depending upon your age and health, your doctor may recommend immune globulin in addition to the hepatitis A vaccine.
I did not look up what that is, but if that applies to you, by fucking God, do it.
Hand washing plays an important role in prevention.
Practicing good hand hygiene, including thoroughly washing hands with soap and warm water after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and before preparing or eating food, plays an important role in preventing the spread of many illnesses, including hepatitis A. Symptoms.
Not everyone with hepatitis A has symptoms.
Adults are more likely to have symptoms than children.
If symptoms develop, they usually appear two to seven weeks after infection and can include yellow skin or eyes, jaundice, fever, dark urine or light-colored stool, not wanting to eat, upset stomach, diarrhea, throwing up, joint pain, stomach pain, feeling tired.
Symptoms usually last less than two months, although some people can be ill for as long as six months.
Diagnosis and treatment.
A doctor can determine if you have hepatitis A by discussing your symptoms and taking a blood sample.
To treat the symptoms of hepatitis A, doctors usually recommend rest, adequate nutrition, and fluids.
Some people will need medical care in a hospital.
International travel and hepatitis A. If you are planning to travel to countries where hepatitis A is common, talk to your doctor about getting vaccinated before you travel.
Travelers to urban areas, resorts, and luxury hotels in countries where hepatitis A is common are still at risk.
International travelers have been infected, even though they regularly washed their hands and were careful about what they drank and ate.
As for the other sources, they are linked in the stack, but I can tell you that the stat pearls link provided is very dense.
And there is no fucking way that Candace or anyone on her team understood enough of it to go further than the abstract at the top, because I had to take time with it, and I actually found it fascinating.
It is an entire, in-depth, comprehensive breakdown of anything you could possibly want as a jumping off point for information on the liver.
It is a truly awesome resource to start a journey on, I think.
The third one in the linked is the hepatic function and physiology in the newborn, and it's the one where Candace read about how the liver isn't fully matured until a person is two years old.
Nowhere in that very short but very dense article does it once mention that vaccines would be a bad idea to give to an infant or toddler.
But Candace gets people by showing the article with the loosest possible sourcing.
On the video, she doesn't provide the source link.
She has a graphic that says PubMed.
I found them because I am tenacious.
Anyway, the most helpful one for most folks is definitely the CDC PDF I read from a moment ago.
I encourage anyone interested, as always, to scope the links.
Candace will now go on to skim over the PDF I just fucking read from.
Does also mention here that you can get it through eating contaminated food or drink.
A food that carries the hepatitis A virus can happen at any point, growing, harvesting, processing, but it admits that it's extremely uncommon, although uncommon.
Foodborne outbreaks have occurred in the United States from people eating contaminated fresh and frozen imported food products because it's much more likely to happen outside of the United States.
Which brings us back to the earlier episodes of this where I tell you that they intentionally will talk about something that is much more likely to happen upon a different continent where people are still living in tribes where they don't have access to clean water.
And then they will apply those arguments to try to make you fearful that this could definitely happen to you.
You could just eat something and have hepatitis A vaccine and sorry, receive hepatitis A, and it's not right.
It's a way for them to persuade you without being really honest about what your potential risks are.
Bullshit, bitch.
So let's discuss this for a moment.
From the linked article from frontiersin.org in a paper titled determining the burden of foodborne hepatitis a spread by food handlers, suggestions for a targeted vaccination.
So scroll down to the article.
There are one two three four five, six people listed as authors.
Hepatitis A virus remains a significant foodborne pathogen, particularly when food handlers serve as the source of contamination.
Its high ineffectivity or infectivity rather sorry and environmental persistence allow the virus to survive on hands, surfaces, and food, facilitating widespread transmission even from a single distribution point.
This systematic review, Prospero registration number, and it gives it is very long, analyzed 32 studies reporting HAV outbreaks linked to food handlers to assess whether vaccination could be an effective preventive strategy.
Results?
Most outbreaks occurred in North America and Europe, with index cases almost exclusively identified among food workers.
Outbreak sizes varied, though the majority involve fewer than 50 cases.
The discussion says studies highlighted critical challenges including under-reporting, asymptomatic cases, and delayed interventions.
Control measures largely relied on immunoglobulin administration while vaccination was rarely implemented and showed poor adherence among food service staff.
Although economic analyses were limited and sometimes inconclusive, some evidence suggested potential health care savings from prevention efforts.
Considering HAV's high transmissibility and the difficulty of timely outbreak detection, targeted vaccination of food handlers, especially those in high-risk settings or seasonal employment, emerges as a promising method of biological risk management in food industries.
These considerations could support food industries in considering vaccination as a tool to prevent foodborne HAV transmission.
And it goes on to talk about hepatitis A caused by the hepatitis A virus is the most common form of acute viral hepatitis worldwide among types A, B, and C and E. Hmm, doesn't mention D. Didn't realize that.
Anyway, HAV infection is globally widespread.
According to the World Health Organization, there are approximately 159 million new HAV infections each year, resulting in around 1.5 million clinical cases and 39,000 deaths.
Hepatitis A may present as isolated sporadic cases or occur in the form of epidemics.
Its incidence varies greatly between countries and is closely linked to factors such as socio-demographic index, hygiene, and sanitary conditions.
While high-income countries generally maintain good hygiene standards, these remain insufficient in many low- and middle-income regions.
In developed countries, most adults are susceptible to HAV infection.
Here, outbreaks are typically driven by interpersonal transmission within high-risk groups, whereas foodborne infections are more likely to cause sporadic cases.
However, several outbreaks in these regions have been associated with contaminated food.
This shift is likely influenced by increasing international travel and global food imports, which may alter the epidemiology of hepatitis A by facilitating both outbreaks in developed countries and global transmission of the virus.
HAV is primarily transmitted through the ingestion of food or water contaminated with feces from an infected individual or via direct contact with an infected person.
Even minimal quantities, such as 1,300 infectious units per gram of food, are sufficient to cause infection.
This high transmission potential is partly due to the virus's remarkable environmental stability.
HAV can remain infectious in water, soil, and on contaminated surfaces.
Its persistence is further enhanced at low temperatures, which allows it to survive for extended periods in various food matrices, including leafy greens, carrots, fennel, green onions, spinach, berries, aromatic herbs, and shellfish.
For example, HAV has been found to survive for months on frozen berries and remain infectious on surfaces depending on temperature and humidity conditions.
Furthermore, under low humidity, it can persist on foods like lettuce, bell peppers, melon, and dried tomatoes.
To inactivate HAV thermally, cooking or boiling at a minimum of 85 Celsius, and they have it in here, 185 degrees Fahrenheit for at least one minute is required.
These characteristics allow HAV to remain viable throughout the entire food chain from production to consumption, posing a risk of fecal contamination at any stage in what is known as the farm-to-fork pathway.
These findings confirm that HAV can persist on food long enough to threaten consumer health.
While some hygiene treatments may help reduce viral load, none have proven completely effective in eliminating the virus.
The virus's resistance to acidic pH enables it to reach the intestinal tract in an infectious form.
Its incubation period ranges from 15 to 50 days.
That is 5-0.
During this time, the hepatitis A virus, HAV, is excreted in large quantities and feces, reaching concentrations up to 10 genome copies per gram just before symptom onset.
After the appearance of jaundice, viral shedding decreases rapidly as anti-HAV antibodies develop.
Nonetheless, infants and young children can continue shedding the virus for up to six months post-infection.
Food handlers play a crucial role in preventing HAV transmission.
If infected, they can transmit the virus to susceptible individuals through the food they prepare and have been identified as a major source of foodborne hepatitis A outbreaks.
A single infected food handler can transmit the virus to dozens or even hundreds of individuals during food harvesting, handling, preparation, or distribution, significantly impacting public health and health care costs.
The primary transmission route through food handlers is direct hand-to-food contact.
Throughout the food production chain, agricultural products undergo multiple stages of handling, increasing the risk of cross-contamination by infected workers or contaminated surfaces.
Experimental studies have shown that HAV can maintain its infectivity on hands for at least four hours.
Simply rinsing hands with water may reduce the viral load by 10 to 100 times, but is insufficient for complete removal.
Although HAV cannot replicate outside a host, such as in food and water, its low infectious dose poses a significant risk to consumers regardless of the contamination level.
Despite wide variation in the number of food handlers worldwide, their role in ensuring food safety is universally essential.
Nevertheless, food safety strategies have generally prioritized environmental hygiene and sanitation over direct preventative measures such as vaccination.
As of now, mandatory HAV vaccination for food handlers is enforced only in a few countries, such as Germany, while in most others it remains voluntary or merely recommended.
Establishing clear epidemiological links between foodborne HIV infections and specific contamination sources remains a major challenge.
This difficulty stems from the global nature of food supply chains, where ingredients can originate from distant locations, be incorporated into numerous products, and become contaminated at very low levels.
As a result, outbreaks are often detected too late to trace the source effectively.
The foods most commonly implicated in outbreaks include shellfish, leafy greens, and both fresh and frozen fruits, particularly berries.
However, due to the possibility of cross-contamination, virtually any food can be involved.
Therefore, understanding HIV endemicity and identifying the main sources of infection, both human and food-related, are crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies.
In line with this, a recent ECDC report on hepatitis A prevention emphasizes the importance of collaboration between public health authorities and the food safety sector to help reduce the burden of foodborne infections.
Other narrative reviews from recent literature have examined foodborne HAV outbreaks and the central role of food handlers in transmission, highlighting the potential benefit of immunizing food workers.
Such measures could enhance food safety and compliance with hazard analysis and critical control points principles, HACCP, while also mitigating biological risk among food industry personnel.
The objective of this systematic review is to assess the impact of food handlers on foodborne hepatitis A infections, examining the crucial role they play in transmitting the virus through food.
So, what we get from this is that this is not in fact as she said it is, nor has it been for some fucking time.
The article I just read from, which is in the link stack and goes into far more detail than I'm providing here, demonstrates that this is a really serious issue and a common occurrence as a foodborne pathogen.
This article came out this year, but it was compiled from a lot of studies that it cites, of course, 32 if I read it right, any of which were likely available when Candace made these dumbass claims.
Now it's time to move on into the vaccine insert.
So let's jump into the HEP-A vaccine insert.
And I have been clear with you guys.
You can pick any brand and go through the inserts.
There's always a couple of them circulating.
The one that we are looking at today is the vaccine VAQTA.
I'm just going to call it VACTA.
So that is the HEP-A vaccine insert that we are looking at right now.
So right at the top, again, I mentioned this, they start giving this to children, adolescents beginning at 12 months through to 18 years of age, which I believe is problematic.
Skipping down to 5.4, Section 5.4, Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness.
Every hepatitis A virus has a relatively long incubation period, approximately 20 to 50 days.
VACTA may not prevent hepatitis A infection in individuals who have an unrecognized hepatitis A infection at the time of vaccination.
Vaccination with VACTA may not result in a protective response in all susceptible vaccinees.
So I love that because it's just plausible deniability.
Always, right?
So if your kid gets this vaccine, gets sick from having this vaccine, and then not only do they get sick from getting this vaccine, but then they somehow get hepatitis A and they can say, oh, well, we might have had an unrecognized hepatitis A infection already.
And also, we're just saying that it's not susceptible.
Like we can't protect all of the vaccinees, which is really stunning to me because when you go to the CDC website, looking back on that website, it says at the bottom here, hepatitis A can be prevented with a safe and effective vaccine.
There always just seems to be this conflict between what the CDC is telling you, which is meant to inspire you and make you feel sure that you can prevent this.
It's no big deal.
And then when you get into the fine print and you look at what the FDA inserts say, and you look at what the back of the manufacturer's back, the back of the manufacturer's box says, pardon, you'll notice this, that they're just like, oh, I don't know, it could not work, whatever.
Hey, we warned you it could not work, whatever.
It's all plausible deniability, as I said.
Yeah, this is egregiously stupid, even for her low standards.
In the interest of fairness, that's what I named that clip.
In the interest of fairness, Candace actually read that almost verbatim.
Almost.
And the CDC thing, as we know from having read it all here, is that it does say that HEPA can be prevented with a vaccine.
Now, neither of those statements are in conflict.
Can be prevented is the same kind of language as saying that not all vaccinees, as in people that take the vaccine, not all of them might be spared.
This is because, as Candace herself will often note, not everyone's body and life itself does not respond to a set of conditions for everyone.
Her little gotcha is fucking dumb for this reason.
The fact is, any vaccine lot could be compromised and ineffective, although that is extremely unlikely and incredibly rare because of tight controls on manufacture of vaccines.
It is more likely that a person would be an asymptomatic carrier of HEPA than a vaccine lot failing or a person having a failed uptake of a vaccine.
I looked up what the uptake failure of VACTA actually is, and it is stunning how effective this one is.
From the website GlobalRX, which Candace has used before, clinical efficacy.
Clinical trials have demonstrated that VACTA achieves a zero conversion rate of approximately 97 to 100% in adults one month following the initial dose.
Long-term protection studies indicate sustained antibody levels for up to 17 years post-vaccination.
For detailed clinical data, refer to studies such as this 2007 study and this 2010 follow-up.
And of course, links are in the paragraph there on the GlobalRx site.
A protection rate of 97% to 100% is incredible.
Next clip.
Jumping down, looking into 6.1 adverse reactions, this one is what I would consider a lot of adverse reactions that are listed throughout this pack.
Here are some right at the top here, which we see often: injection sites, puritis, or basically a rash, bronchial constriction, asthma, wheezing.
When I see that, I will say this until the day I die, maybe not until the day I die.
I'll probably stop saying it before then, because my mine will be gone.
What I will say is that I am convinced that my lifelong chronic asthma came from vaccines.
I remember getting asthma.
I did not have asthma my entire youth and then suddenly I think around the age of six or seven I had a major bronchial event and I've had asthma since and I will forever believe that it is because I got vaccines.
I remember ever when I went to the doctor I'd come back and I'd be sicker and sicker and sicker.
So I am a big believer that a lot of these conditions are caused.
These lifelong decisions are caused from vaccines and parents just not knowing anything about it, which my parents definitely would have been a part of that.
I have a dad.
He didn't have any education past high school.
My mother didn't even graduate high school.
So, and we lived in low-income circumstances.
I mean, perfect candidate to just trust the doctor, trust the science, and believe that they knew more than you.
Yeah, that's not how that works.
So I looked into this, and as usual, Candace is fucking wrong.
Without much effort, I found an article by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Institute for Vaccine Safety, link in the stack, titled, Do Vaccines Cause Asthma?
Now, there is a general rule in reading any headline that asks a question, and that answer to the question is usually a very loud, fuck nah.
And this case is no different.
From the article conclusion right at the top, conclusion, natural infection with respiratory syncidial virus, I'm going to get that right one day, in infancy can increase the risk of asthma in childhood as well as contribute to asthma exacerbation.
Other respiratory viruses, such as influenza, can also contribute to asthma exacerbation.
Thus, RSV vaccine prevents asthma and asthma exacerbation, and influenza vaccine prevents asthma exacerbation by protecting against natural infection.
Influenza vaccines do not cause asthma or asthma exacerbation.
MMR vaccines do not cause and may protect against asthma.
Other vaccines currently routinely recommended to the general population in the U.S. have not been shown to cause asthma or asthma exacerbation.
Aluminum adjuvants in vaccines have not been shown to cause asthma in children.
The report goes on to further explain the mountain of evidence for the conclusion, and I encourage anyone interested to give it a read if you have the time.
It is quite informative and makes the case.
As for what Candace said regarding her upbringing, we know from our early episodes going over her material in her first book, Blackout, and subsequent episodes and statements from her, Candace and her siblings moved in with their father's father's parents, her paternal grandparents, when she was nine years old and her parents divorced.
They moved from a rough inner city area to a nice upper middle class neighborhood.
I would float the possibility based on what is said here in this report and having read other such anecdotal stuff relating to this over many years, I would put forth the following theory.
Candace got a massive benefit from her parents getting her vaccinated in her young life, especially if she actually had asthma due to environmental factors in whatever low-rent neighborhood they were in at the time.
She may have been sick often, as she says, but the vaccine she got would have staved off the worst effects of what living in that environment did to her.
And of course, she would never put those things together.
Fucking absurd, but that's what we deal with here.
More to the point, asthma caused by vaccines is often very short-lived, and there is no case showing that it lasts long at all if it develops as a side effect.
In the quote she read from the adverse reaction section, I watched the video to see how she would handle how it actually reads.
On the video, her team clipped the entire section, but she failed to read the following.
Allergic reactions, local and or systemic allergic reactions that occurred in less than 1% of over 10,000 children, adolescents, or adults in clinical trials, regardless of causality included.
And then she read the following material.
Injection, psyuritis, and or rash, bronchial constriction, asthma, wheezing, edema, swelling, rash, generalized urethema, urticaria, puritis, eye irritation, itching, dermatitis.
So anyone watching would have had to see the skip over, but she doesn't even acknowledge the extreme rarity of these symptoms.
Less than one in 10,000 people across age groups experienced these symptoms.
And as noted, asthma is not a long-lasting type from these vaccines.
But of course, she isn't done with reading or misunderstanding what she is reading.
So let's let her keep saying herself.
Anyways, it goes on to say you can get eye irritation, itching, dermatitis, you can get swelling, all the things that we tend to see in all of these inserts.
But then I want to draw your attention to a few pages thereafter.
It's showing me on page six because I have a printout here that I'm holding in my hand, obviously.
But it starts talking about VACTA being given concomitantly, meaning that it's given with other vaccines.
And parents that vaxx their children will tell you this.
They'll give you a ton of vaccines at once.
And I always ask, what is the purpose of that?
Why?
Why can't you do one vaccine at a time?
They don't like this, the pediatrician.
They're like, no, no, no, no, we're going to do them all at the same time.
We don't want to do it with just one.
And I suspect, or I guess I would ask the question, is that because when you give them all at the same time, then you can never blame one of the vaccines, right?
You're like, oh, we did at the same time that we gave them the varicella and this one and DTAP and this.
So it could be any of the vaccines, none of the vaccines.
None of us has to actually take the blame for the reaction that happened.
And it shows you that these are some more adverse events that take place because this one is one that is given concomitantly.
Eye disorders, conjunctivitis, gastrointestinal disorders, constipation, vomiting, general disorders.
It says you can get nasopharyngitis, rhinitis, viral infection, croup.
What's going on there?
Croup, are you serious?
That's a very serious bronchial infection for a child to get.
Pharyngitis, strep, laryngitis, laryngotra, I can't even say this one.
Laryngotracheobronchitis.
Yeah.
Laryngontracheo laryngotracheobronchitis.
How's that, guys?
That sounds absolutely correct.
That's a lot going on there in one word, right?
Gastroentitis and enteritis, which would be viral.
It's got metabolism and attrition disorders, anorexia from getting this at the same time as getting other vaccines.
You have respiratory issues, cough, nasal congestion, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, a rash, measles-like rubella-like rash, a varicella-like rash.
I mean, what on earth are we even talking about?
The concept of this even being something that you would risk.
And then here is the one that terrifies me the most, the one that I look for in every vaccine and why it has, I have always thought, let my child have whatever the disease is, whatever the virus is, because it is not worth a febral seizure.
It's never going to be worth a febrile seizure to get a vaccine that they are telling you may not even prevent you from getting the thing that they're trying to prevent you from getting, right?
Okay, so that was a lot, but I wanted to give her the space to marinate.
So in the adverse reactions that she read from in that section can be found on numbered page six, but page seven of the PDF.
Anyway, those are reactions found across age groups, extremely low risk, and can happen with the vaccine being administered singly or with others, which is concommitant.
It says it right there on the paper.
We've discussed february seizures before and how actually low risk most of them generally are, as well as how much higher the risk of them are in most infections in patients without vaccines.
But in this case, febrile seizures are not a known side effect of HEP-A, at least not more than might normally happen.
But that said, what she failed to mention is that febrile seizures was only noted in 0.05% of the 4,374 test subjects aged one year to 23 months of age.
That is a little over two toddlers.
That information is right there in the paragraph that she fucking read.
As for why vaccines are given concomitantly, it's pretty simple.
For one, adverse reactions listed on any single vaccine are extremely rare.
They are often tested with others being given at the same time because of one simple aspect most people lack.
Time.
It is well established that parents that have to take their kids to a doctor for vaccines prefer to get as many done as possible to limit the amount of time it is going to take to keep the kids healthy.
If they stretch them out, vaccines can be missed due to a variety of factors, and the kids and the society around them won't be as protected.
As a side note, fuck fucking Google and their dumb fuck bullshit on docs fucking up my fucking flow by auto-correcting words I wrote entirely correctly and fucking replacing them with other fucking words that wouldn't work in my sentences.
I was fucking typing them.
Fuck you, you fucking fucking hacks and fuck you too, Clippy, you batshit, dumb fuck icon from Microsoft Word from back in the fucking day.
AI has no goddamn fucking place beyond underlining my fucking words, you fucking hack sick fuck programmer shitbag fuckers.
Okay, got that out of my system.
I'm going to guess that was it's all in the script.
It's right there.
I'm going to guess that that was written because you were in the midst of writing the thing before and the thing after and it kept it kept fucking up.
Yeah, it kept fucking me up.
Yeah.
Well, so what did Clippy do?
Clippy was.
Fuck Clippy.
But Clippy was an alkane.
No, I know, fuck Clippy.
I don't.
Look, if he's leading the Terminators, okay, I'll make peace.
But if he's not, if he's where he belongs, which is as forgotten code in a fucking T800 fucking chip, fuck Clippy.
Fuck Clippy.
Clippy's probably at the black wall, if we're going to be honest.
Yeah.
Okay, got that out of my system.
And it stopped correcting my shit after I wrote all that.
You know, sometimes.
Sometimes you got to kick the fax machine in office space.
Yeah.
I shouldn't have to threaten office space copier levels of violence on the technology, but I fucking will if it gets the results I need from these fucking wannabe Terminators.
Okay, so moving on.
Candace will now repeat her version of the girlfriend in Canada story, the febrile seizure friend.
You know, how she's like, oh yeah, I've got this friend, the febrile seizure, and et cetera.
Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like I said, that's...
When you said the girlfriend in Canada story, I was like, Yeah, fair enough.
Yeah.
I've got a girlfriend.
She's in Canada.
You'll never meet her.
Well, we only live 200 miles from the border.
Is she in Winnipeg?
All right.
So here we go.
You see it right there.
It says, with or without concomitant vaccines, vaccine-related, serious, adverse events have occurred, including a febral seizure.
And as I told you guys last week and on previous episodes, I know someone intimately whose child had a febral seizure and never came back and now is an adult living in his 30s with his parents and will never lead an independent life.
And so to see that expressed, to see that on the FDA inserts and to think that parents are willing to risk that because they don't want their children to get hepatitis A potentially from drinking something that is very low risk, I don't know, especially when, again, their livers are not even fully developed.
Now, they also encourage adults to get this.
So if you go on and you look at table eight, it's talking about the incidence of systemic and adverse reactions in adults that are 19 years of age and older.
And this is also incredible and very serious in my view.
You can have musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders, back pain, stiffness, but also reproductive system and breast disorders, menstruation disorders.
I have just been shocked, and we are going to get into this later in the series, about the amount of women that are struggling to become pregnant, the amount of women that are suffering from things like PCOS, the amount of women who do not have a regular menstruation process.
And doctors just keep gaslighting, we don't know what that is, we don't know what it is.
And I just keep saying this isn't normal.
Our grandparents were popping them out, you know, nine babies at once.
No, children, they're having children older.
My grandfather was one of 12.
You know, you got to be pregnant for a very long time to have 12 children.
This is because something is interrupting our reproductive health.
And when you see something like this listed, we don't know if it can cause reproductive, well, we do know it can cause reproductive system and breast disorders and menstruation disorders.
These are things I don't even think these women consider, right?
Yeah, they don't even consider.
Like I was vaccinated.
My mom took me to get vaccines.
And this was obviously my story with the garden shot, which was my huge awakening.
And how these come with inserts telling you that this could be impacting your reproductive health.
You don't think about it because you're so young.
You're listening to your parents, the doctor, you trust, you're establishing that relationship with your doctor.
But then when you get older and you want to start a family, this is the kind of stuff that will horrify you, realizing that they were making decisions for you.
They were making long-term or plausible, long-term decisions for your health that you really didn't have a say in.
Because it is, unless you are educated, unless you are being told about the risks, even if you are being told about the risks, your brain's not developed, right?
Your brain's not developed.
So if a doctor says to you, down the line, this might impact reproductive health, not going to have the same severe logical considerations that you might have at the age of 26 when someone says that to you versus when you're 16 or when you're 19, as this indicates, older than 19 years old, because you're just kind of living your life like, man, I'm not thinking that way.
So that very much bothers me.
Yeah, first off, about her, you know, grandfather being one of 12, how old was his mother when she started having kids?
Yeah.
You know, generally, very young.
Very young.
Younger than they would be today because women have rights.
Yeah.
Women should have always had rights, but because women have rights, they get to put a pause on breeding.
Yeah.
As they should.
Also, the whole thing of, well, we don't know why the inability to, you know, have a regular period or that sort of thing.
Yeah.
I have a friend who, you know, is trying to get all that sort of shit in order for having a child.
Yeah.
And it isn't some sort of mysterious thing that appeared.
It's a generational birth defect.
As she has found out from her grandmother having passed it on to her mother who has passed it on to her.
Yeah.
Yeah, genetic.
Yeah.
Well, about the shit she just said, what she failed to mention was that the incidence of risk and the way it is written do not lead to what she said.
Again, on the video, it would have been apparent to the Daily Wire Plus PayPs that she was getting it wrong.
But this is the medium of audio and it sounds worse than it is.
And I think that was entirely her focus.
Where it says musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders, back pain, stiffness, reproductive system and breast disorders, menstruation disorders.
So the first part, musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders is not a thing on its own.
It is a category.
It is like saying Xbox and then saying a game title, Starfield.
So the real risk is back pain or stiffness.
Yes.
Hello, Trishine.
Same with reproductive system and breast disorders.
This is also a category.
Both categories have semicolons after them, indicating a category.
Anyway, for the reproductive one, it is just menstruation disorders, which on the surface, which is where Candace lives, that seems bad.
Unless you ignore the print above all of it that says these things occurred in less than 1% of vaccinees, up to just over 10%.
For the menstruation disorders, I went further into the material and looked up the actual specific incidence rate and what this means.
The actual incidence rate is 1.1%.
As for further specifics, they were not available beyond just problems with periods.
No further specific malady was reported in any source I consulted.
That said, further searching didn't provide anything in any source I consulted.
That said, further searching didn't provide anything either.
So unless something concrete changes, it is basically irregular periods in 1.1% of adult cisgender females or possibly trans men that get periods and have this vaccine.
For the trade-off of avoiding HEPA, I think it would be worth it, but you do you.
She's not done jumping around on the insert, though.
Never is.
Then we look, of course, always under 6.2 in all of these vaccs inserts, and it discusses the post-marketing experience.
And we are always talking about these blood and lymphatic disorders that can develop with all these vaccines.
But then we see that big one again, Gillian-Barr syndrome, cerebellar ataxia, encephalitis.
These are very serious conditions to have.
We're talking about paralysis.
This is just stunning to me.
And no person would, they would just say, yeah, it's just a vaccine.
It's totally fine.
Well, it's just a vaccine.
Start providing people with this sort of information so they can decide whether or not they want hepatitis A, which admittedly has no cure, or they want Gillian-Barr syndrome.
They want to live a life with hepatitis A, or they want Gillian-Barr syndrome.
Would I, every single time, would pick living a life with hepatitis A if those two choices were presented in front of me.
Spoken like somebody who doesn't have to deal with living with hepatitis A.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
It's, and it will, you know, since I looked up exactly how to like pronounce it, it's Guirain Barra.
Um, actually.
Actually.
So that was an interesting quote.
But first, from the insert, here's everything she didn't fucking read.
The following additional adverse events have been reported with use of the marketed vaccine.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to a vaccine exposure.
Blood and lymphatic disorder category.
Thrombocytopenia.
Nervous system disorder category.
Guirrain-barra syndrome.
Cerebellar ectaxia, encephalitis.
Post-marketing observational safety study.
In a post-marketing 60-day safety surveillance study conducted at a large health maintenance organization in the United States, a total of 42,110 individuals aged over two years of age received one or two doses of BACTA, 13,735 children slash adolescents, and 28,375 adult subjects.
Safety was passively monitored by electronic search of the automated medical records database for emergency room and outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and deaths.
Medical charts were reviewed when an event was considered to be possibly vaccine-related by the investigator.
None of the serious adverse events identified were assessed as being related to vaccine by the investigator.
Diarrhea slash gastroenteritis, resulting in outpatient visits, was determined by the investigator to be the only vaccine-related, non-serious adverse reaction in the study.
There was no vaccine-related adverse reaction identified that had not been reported in earlier clinical trials with VACTA.
So the first one she blew past in the adverse read was thrombocytopenia.
That one is identified on cancer.gov as a condition in which there is a lower than normal number of platelets in the blood.
It may result in easy bruising and excessive bleeding from wounds or bleeding in mucous membranes and other tissues.
I looked up what the incidence of this occurring was, and if it is lifelong, but the incidence rate was literally less than one person per every 100,000 dosed.
It also seems to be a condition that passes.
It isn't chronic if it happens.
GBS, urine-barra syndrome, which she is so against, is also so low as to barely register as a side effect.
According to the World Health Organization, it is one to two people per 100,000, which is the same as the general population that didn't vaccinate against this.
Comparing the two, since she does in the clip, GBS, if contracted and as a bad effect, can be treated with therapy.
Hepatitis A can lead to worse liver outcomes, and one of the known side effects of having a severe case is also experiencing GBS.
So, in other words.
So, Candace would rather risk the many possible severe outcomes of HEPA, which quite possibly also risks GBS.
So, in other words, you could just, using her logic anyway, just take the fucking shot and still be at the same equal chances of getting GBS.
Yeah.
Or don't take the shots.
It is too.
Don't take the shots and risk getting hepatitis A and possibly get GBS.
Because you got hepatitis A and it's infecting your fucking system.
So.
And fucking GBS is something that passes.
You get past GBS.
Yeah.
You can't get past having to have a HEPA.
Well, I mean, it can, but that's the big risk.
It's like the risk of getting COVID.
A lot of people were asymptomatic carriers where they wouldn't have even known.
It's like zero symptoms, but they're passing it on anyway to people that did get symptoms, many of which got hospitalized, many of which died.
Yeah.
Because it's random.
It doesn't give a fuck who you are.
Yeah.
It killed babies and it killed old folks and everyone in between.
It killed athletes.
It killed famous good-looking people.
It killed people no one heard of.
It killed.
It had a fucking hepatitis.
Not hepatitis.
I'm sorry.
COVID had a fucking death toll in one year that took AIDS, 10 years to hit.
Just in America.
Let alone elsewhere.
Yeah.
Like, so, yeah, you know, it didn't give a fuck.
Diseases don't give a fuck.
No.
You know, it's like, I mean, it's like when we were living in Florida, we were doing okay, but we weren't doing great.
We move here with fucking thriving, you know, like, there's no telling what's going to make a thing work.
Yeah.
And unfortunately, when these things work, it's really fucking bad.
That's why warnings get put out and shit.
Yeah.
So, next clip.
And of course, as I always point out to you guys, virtually all of these vaccines, I've never even seen one of them.
It doesn't say this, will say, and this is under section 13.1, that it has not been evaluated for its carcinogenic or immutagenic potential or its potential to impair fertility.
So yep, we intentionally do not test whether or not it will impair your fertility.
We intentionally do not evaluate whether or not it will give you cancer.
But when we keep saying, oh, the breast cancer rates or cancer rates are going up, we don't know what's happening, we get to play stupid and we could say, I don't know, it could be in the water, it could be in the food, it couldn't possibly be us, it couldn't possibly be us introducing your liver to toxins.
It couldn't possibly be anything that we do because we're a big farmer and we're here to help.
We're also here to become billionaires, to aspire to become trillionaires.
We are the most successful drug cartel in the entire world, especially the one that is being pushed by American, the American ecosystem of the medical establishment.
This is one of my favorite clips now.
I've sat on this for so long because of the following article I found when I went looking for information on why this vaccine and others make the statement that they don't have data on carcinogenic or mutagenic effects.
Okay.
The following is literally from an article titled, Vaccines Don't Cause Childhood Cancer, contrary to claim by Candace Owens.
God damn.
Let's just appreciate that title for a moment.
It is from sciencefeedback.org.
And the date is January 25th of 2024.
Candace has been making this claim for some time now.
Anyway, from the article.
Verdict, inaccurate.
God damn.
Claim.
Vaccines have caused an explosion of childhood cancer.
Vaccine package insert states vaccines weren't tested for mutagenic effect.
God damn.
Source.
Twitter.
Candace Owens.
2024-01-19.
So, Candace made this claim on Twitter then.
which was maybe a couple of weeks after this episode came out.
Candace made this claim on Twitter then.
And this report was compiled less than a week later.
What was she saying about lies and speed and the truth?
Anyway, more from the article.
Verdict detail, factually inaccurate.
Epidemiological data on cancer doesn't show an explosion of childhood cancer.
No association between childhood vaccines and childhood cancers has been established by reliable studies.
There's also no known mechanism that would explain vaccines causing cancer.
Misrepresents source.
The fact that vaccine package inserts state a vaccine hasn't been tested for carcinogenicity or mutagenicity doesn't mean we have no data on whether vaccines cause cancer.
Such tests weren't performed because the safety of these vaccines had already been demonstrated through data acquired earlier and vaccine ingredients aren't present in quantities that pose a cancer risk.
Then it says, see our method of evaluation.
The full claim, quote, there is not a single doctor in the world that can tell you that vaccines do not cause cancer.
On every single FDA insert for every vaccine, there is a disclaimer of sorts which states that the vaccine has not been tested for carcinogenic or mutagenic effect.
Dot, dot, dot.
An explosion of childhood cancers, particularly leukemia, coincides with the explosion of vaccines after manufacturers were removed from liability.
Dot, dot, dot.
Big Pharman knows that among other things, vaccines can cause childhood cancers.
End quote.
That's the full claim.
Review.
In January 2024, political commentator and talk show host Candace Owens posted a tweet on X, formerly Twitter, claiming that vaccine package inserts state vaccines haven't been tested for carcinogenic or mutagenic effects, that there has been an explosion of childhood cancers after manufacturers were removed from liability, and that vaccines can cause childhood cancers.
The tweet received more than 23,000 likes and more than 1.5 million views on X slash Twitter.
A day earlier, Owens quote tweeted a post by German disinformation outlet Disclose TV, disclose.tv, implicitly claiming COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer.
The post was soon marked by X's community notes clarifying that the claim was implausible since it was based on data collected before COVID-19 vaccines were made available.
God damn.
Owens has propagated health misinformation and conspiracy theories on several occasions in the past.
In this review, we show that epidemiological data on cancer in the U.S. don't substantiate her claims and published studies so far haven't found a convincing association between childhood vaccination and cancer risk.
Cancer trends have been on the rise for the last five decades, but reasons are multifactorial and don't involve vaccines.
Was there an explosion of vaccine, was there an explosion of childhood cancers after vaccine manufacturers were, quote, removed from liability?
Were vaccine manufacturers removed from liability in the first place?
Owens's claim about vaccine manufacturers no longer being liable is likely a reference to the U.S. National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which is commonly but incorrectly understood to remove all liability from vaccine manufacturers for any harm arising from vaccines.
As we explained in a previous review, the act, which came into effect in 1986, does not completely stop people from holding manufacturers liable for harms from vaccination.
In fact, multiple lawsuits have been filed against a vaccine manufacturer by the anti-vaccine organization Children's Health Defense, clearly demonstrating the falsity of this claim.
As a side note, I want to point out that Children's Health Defense was the company that Candace pulled a lot of her worst data/slash lies from, and it is the company that famously was chaired by current Health and Human Services destroyer-in-chief Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Jumping back in, the article goes on to say, as for Owens's claim that there was an explosion of childhood cancers after the act was passed, we can verify it using epidemiological data about cancer in the U.S. One source for this data is the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results SEER, or SEEER, program.
The data for trends in new cancer cases in those younger than 15 is shown below.
See figure one.
The data extends all the way to 1975, covering the periods before and after the act came into effect in 1986.
The article has a chart included at this point, but I'm skipping describing it.
The link is in the show notes.
Moving on, the SEER data shows that cancer incidence rates have been rising since 1975 with no discernible difference before and after 1986.
We can see that the rise is steady and gradual over time with no sudden marked increases.
Thus, the SEER data doesn't paint a picture of an explosion of childhood cancer that Owens asserted had happened.
Encouragingly, while incidence rates have risen, the cancer mortality rates for this age group have fallen, showing that cancer patients' chances for survival have improved with time.
The same trend of a steady and gradual increase in incidence over time can also be seen in the case of leukemia, see figure 2 below, which Owens's tweet singled out.
Leukemia, which is a cancer of the white blood cells, is the most common childhood cancer in the U.S. and globally and is also the most commonly recorded cause of cancer death in children.
There is another graph here, moving on.
Interestingly, when we switch to looking at more recent trends, which look at the last two decades as opposed to the trends for the past four decades, we see that the incidence for all cancers in the same age group starting from 2017 has been on a downward trend.
See figure 3 below, which is, as you guessed at another graph.
Moving on.
Apart from SEER, we can also look at data from other credible sources.
A published study by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examined trends in childhood cancer in the U.S. between 2003 and 2019.
This study used data from U.S. Cancer Statistics, which covers all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, in contrast to SEER, which currently covers fewer areas, 22 U.S. geographic areas to be precise.
Excuse me.
This study reported a rise in the incidence rates of childhood cancer diagnoses, particularly for leukemia, lymphoma, liver cancer, bone cancer, and thyroid cancer.
It also delved into potential reasons for the increased incidence rates.
The reasons for increasing rates of pediatric cancer overall are likely multifactorial.
First, overall rates of cancer may have increased because of changes in cancer reporting over the past few decades, such as the increased use of electronic pathology reporting to cancer registries.
Some increases or decreases in pediatric cancer rates could be secondary to changing trends in cancer risk factors related to preconception and pregnancy, such as smoking, assistive reproductive technology, birth, increasing maternal age, low birth weight, or childhood and adolescent life, infection exposure, residential chemicals, radiation exposure, use of sunscreen.
To sum up, the researchers thought that the increased in cancer incidence rates could be explained by changes in the way that different cancers are diagnosed and reported, as well as changes in exposure to various risk factors.
For example, increasing maternal age and residual chemicals.
Another study that examined U.S. cancer trends in adolescents and young adults postulated that environmental factors, dietary and obesity trends, and changes in screening practices are some major reasons for the increasing rate of cancer in that particular age group from 1973 to 2015.
Overall, Owens's claim that vaccine manufacturers don't bear any liability for their products is false, and the claim that there has been an explosion of childhood cancer is not substantiated by the data.
Childhood cancer incidence rates have increased over the past four decades, but this increase has been gradual and steady with no sudden marked increase.
Researchers have considered several potential reasons for this, but they haven't found that childhood vaccines are the cause, which we will speak more of later.
And then in big bold letters, it says, Vaccine package insert isn't evidence that vaccines cause cancer.
And it goes on to say more.
In her tweet, Owens offered vaccine package inserts as supporting evidence for her claim, citing the statement that vaccines haven't been tested for carcinogenic or mutagenic effect, then went on to imply that no one has looked at whether there could be an association between childhood vaccines and cancer.
This form of argument, sometimes called argument by vaccine insert, involves cherry-picking information in a vaccine package insert, such as the adverse events listed in the insert to make the case that vaccines are dangerous.
This is despite the vaccine package insert also including an important caveat that adverse events aren't necessarily caused by the vaccine.
As one comic from The Logic of Science illustrates, like claims that cite adverse events in an insert as evidence of vaccine harms, Owens's claim about the lack of carcinogenicity testing for vaccines is misleading and misrepresents the information prevented and presented in vaccine package inserts.
The website's Skeptical Raptor, which debunks pseudoscientific claims, explained in this article, linked in the thing, that the package insert contains information that tells healthcare providers how a pharmaceutical product is to be used and other information like warnings not to use a drug in certain situations.
In the United States, regulations stipulate that all pharmaceutical package inserts, vaccines or not, must contain specific sections, including non-clinical toxicology.
This section describes the product's potential for carcinogenesis, ability to cause cancer, mutagenesis, ability to produce mutations, and fertility impairment, and is what Owens' tweet refers to.
However, this section has, quote, little applicability, end quote, in the case of vaccines.
The skeptical Raptor article pointed out because studies over the long term have detected no indication that the vaccine causes cancer, the package insert may state some innocuous verbiage such as no known information, meaning that in the 10 to 15 years of research and study, no evidence that the vaccine is carcinogenic or mutagenic.
This section is frequently misused by anti-vaccine pseudoscientists using the argument from ignorance.
They think that because it hasn't been tested for cancer, it could cause cancer.
However, there are no biologically plausible mechanisms whereby vaccines could convincingly be linked to any cancer.
Pediatrician Vincent Lionelli also tackled the same claim, explaining that established guidelines for non-clinical evaluation of vaccines generally don't consider carcinogenicity or mutagenicity studies for vaccines to be necessary because earlier findings don't indicate the need for concern.
The second edition of the reference book, A Comprehensive Guide to Toxicology and Non-Clinical Drug Development, published in 2016, states the following with regards to vaccines.
Quote, generally, mutagenicity studies are not required for vaccines.
World Health Organization guidelines on non-clinical evaluation of vaccine in European Medicines Evaluation, EMEA.
Genotoxicity studies might not be relevant for adjuvant of biological origin.
The potential for gene mutation, chromosome aberrations, and primary DNA damage might be needed for synthetic adjuvants because they are considered to be new chemical entities.
It goes on to say generally carcinogenicity studies are not required for vaccines.
World Health Organization guidelines on non-clinical evaluation of vaccine and EMEA.
This is because of the low dose and the low usage of the adjuvants, meaning that the risk of tumor induction is very, very small according to EMEA guidelines.
The EMEA guideline cited in the book has been replaced by the WHO guidelines published in 2005 in the WHO Guidelines on Non-Clinical Evaluation of Vaccines Annex I, in which the same reasoning still prevails.
It says, genotoxicity studies are normally not needed for the final vaccine formulation.
However, they may be required for particular vaccine components such as novel adjuvants and additives.
Carcinogenicity studies are not required for vaccine antigens.
However, they may be required for particular vaccine components such as novel adjuvants and additives.
INLINOL acknowledged that formaldehyde, which is present in some childhood vaccines, can lead to cancer.
However, this effect is only observed in those who have been exposed to high levels of formaldehyde over long periods of time, as in the case of occupational exposure, such as at a job.
Moreover, formaldehyde also occurs naturally in the human body as it is needed for DNA synthesis.
And the quantity present in any individual vaccine is about 1,500 times smaller than the quantity present in a two-month-old infant.
This means that there's no plausible reason for the formaldehyde in vaccines to pose a safety concern.
To sum up, the reason why vaccine package inserts state that the vaccine has not been tested for carcinogenic or mutagenic effect is because there's no scientific grounds to think the vaccine would cause either effect.
Childhood vaccines don't use novel adjuvants or additives, and vaccine ingredients aren't present in quantities that are expected to cause cancer based on previous research.
Published studies haven't found that childhood vaccines cause cancer.
Owens's claim implied that no scientific work had been done to investigate whether childhood vaccines could influence cancer risk, but this isn't true.
Below are some of the studies we found that explored this question.
A 1997 case control study in Greece compared 153 hospitalized children who were diagnosed with leukemia with 300 hospitalized children who didn't have leukemia.
The study found no statistically significant association between leukemia and childhood and the number of viral vaccines received, defined in the study as measles mumps for Bella hepatitis B vaccines or with the number of DTP, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis vaccines received.
In 1989, researchers published a case control study performed in New Zealand, also looking at whether various factors, including vaccination, could be associated with childhood leukemia.
It included children aged between 0 to 14 years old.
The researchers reported that there was no significant trend with the number of different vaccinations.
A study published in 2005 in the International Journal of Epidemiology, also another case control study, compared children who had been diagnosed with leukemia and those who didn't.
Examining vaccination records in Northern California, the researchers found no association between childhood leukemia and the vaccines against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella.
A systematic review and meta-analysis, a type of study that pulls together the results of multiple studies addressing the same question for analysis, published in scientific reports in 2017, did not find an association between early childhood vaccination and a greater risk of childhood cancer.
In fact, the researchers found that vaccination was associated with a reduced risk of childhood cancer, although the authors advised caution in interpreting these results, stating these had to be replicated.
Readers will observe that none of the studies above are a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial.
While such an experimental design is, in theory, most ideal, ethical implications can limit its use.
In the case of approved vaccines that have been established as effective, it is considered unethical to keep children unvaccinated for the sake of having a control group, as this would have the children exposed to the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases.
As such, researchers use different approaches to answer this question.
Conclusion.
Childhood vaccines typically don't need to undergo testing for carcinogenicity and mutagenicity because their safety had already been demonstrated in earlier studies and because vaccine ingredients aren't present in quantities that pose a safety risk.
Published scientific studies so far haven't found relatable evidence showing that childhood vaccination increases the risk of childhood cancer.
And in fact, some childhood vaccines, such as the hepatitis B vaccine and the human papillomavirus vaccine, protect individuals from certain cancers.
So there you have it.
An article from the time literally quoting her bullshit and pushing back with fact-based evidence.
It is almost orgasmic.
And now, of course, the time has come for Candace to address PayPEG questions.
I want to remind everyone that this show was being shot from her own personal studio at her house, complete with her own Stanley mug on the counter.
Yep, Stanley, not Standis mug at the time.
You know, she missed out on not using Standis cup.
I'm just saying.
Stanley, because Stanley Cups were a hot item.
See, instead of...
But, hold on.
In the video, she has a sticker over where the Stanley logo is and a sticker over her Apple logo on her computer.
Because Candace is a basic one.
But anyway, this was her show being filmed in her own home.
She was never once pressed for time at any time.
But here she is.
So there you have it, guys.
That is hepatitis A.
I do want to make some time today to actually jump into some of your questions because I realize we've done a few episodes now and we keep running out of time.
And I want to keep the communication.
So keep sending the questions.
Here are my answers.
Again, I always give a disclaimer.
I don't know everything.
I am just a mom.
I like to look at this stuff, give you the information.
I implore you to conduct your own research.
I am not telling you what to do.
I am not shaming you if you come to different conclusions.
People in my family, we all make different decisions, but I at least want you to be a little more educated and a little bit more prepared for the system of bullying that you are going to endure when you make a decision to become a parent.
All right, let's jump into some of your comments.
Lala from Texas writes this.
So what do you do if you believe all this?
Do not want to vaccinate your child, but your evil father of your baby is trying to threaten your majority child's custody by claiming you are an anti-vaxxer to gain majority custody.
Courts side with vaccines.
This is a terrible, terrible, terrible situation that you're in, Lala.
And you are absolutely correct that the courts, part of the medical establishment, the CDC, what we are talking about, what we saw during the times of COVID, they are explicitly pro-vax because it is pro-money.
It is what funds them.
It is what keeps them alive.
It is what keeps these bureaucrats alive.
We talked about the threats to send CPS to your home if you don't acquiesce to something as ridiculous as a Hep B shot or if you don't acquiesce to taking whatever drugs are offering you in the hospital.
This is a cartel we're dealing with.
You know, this is something that's very serious.
And I've heard, very much heard of these circumstances where the parents are divorced and one wants this and the other one wants that.
And I don't have an answer for you.
It's, it's, this is, it's an impossible thing to answer because it is the cards are stacked against you.
That's the truth.
And I hate to give people bad news, but I also want to be extremely realistic about the circumstance that we are in.
This is why I implore people to get involved on a local governance level, right?
Trying to get legislation passed through, realizing that you can get involved.
You can become not just an activist, because that sounds like just standing outside with the sign, but actually trying to accomplish changes in your own state.
And that might seem like a, well, I guess I'm saying a big pill to swallow.
I probably shouldn't use that reference anymore as we attack big pharma.
But when we go through, as we did earlier, the trends that are changing in the United States, you can make a difference.
You know, I don't know what state you are.
It says Texas 20.
If you are in Texas or TX20, maybe you're not.
That would be a great state to be in to actually get yourself involved and see how you can help pass forth legislation because I couldn't imagine.
I couldn't imagine the equation.
I couldn't imagine me knowing that I didn't want to do something for my child and my husband doing it, whether it is to spite me or he thinks he's actually helping.
It would be unimaginable.
So I'm sorry that I don't have more good news for you, but other than to implore you to exercise that energy in places where you can actually make a difference.
So I did some digging into this and Candace danced around the topic and not very well, I will say, because the answer to the question is actually simple.
In all 50 United States, courts will tend to side with the parent that has either sole or majority custody of a child in the case of whether or not the kid gets vaccines and can ignore any sort of religious argument posed by the lesser parent.
What follows is from a website based where Georgetom Incorporated, the parent company of Candace's operation, is based, in Delaware, MacintoshLawyers.com.
Link in the link stack, but it says in the key takeaway section at the top of the article, courts rule on parent disagreements about vaccination based on the best interest of the child, including emotional and physical health.
Parental rights to make health care decisions are carefully balanced against the child's well-being and public health, and courts have on occasion limited these rights in the interest of safety.
Good medical evidence and experts generally help courts, whereas misinformation just makes cases difficult.
Public policy and case precedent consistently inform court decisions.
Techniques like mediation and co-parenting counseling are frequently promoted for parents to work through disputes and communicate better, thus avoiding litigation.
These fights results could shape the future of parents' rights, legal precedent, and kids' access to preventive care internationally.
Candace has a fucking lawyer named Noah Balk that could have told her any or all of this shit as it's applicable across the board and has all been standard for quite some time.
The article I pulled from goes into greater detail, but the takeaway summed it up nicely enough.
Next question.
Lexi Love writes question.
Don't all medications have inserts that show potential side effects, yet we still give them to people and children.
Can someone please explain to me what the difference here with vaccines are?
So if you're asking why for whatever reason they don't give you this stuff when you are getting vaccines in the office, I don't know.
It's actually stunning to me.
It doesn't make any sense why you are correct that if you go to CVS or you go to any convenience store that they are, they must include the pack on the back.
And maybe people don't read it, but they should read it.
But at least you know that it's being provided.
And, for whatever reason, if you go to get a vaccine nothing, you know absolutely nothing.
Maybe they'll get you to sign off on some paperwork or they give you like a one sheeter and it basically says, this is why you should do this, no matter what.
It's here to protect you, but they are not required to hand you the ingredients of what they are about to put into your arm.
It should be illegal.
It's not yep time for this bullshit again.
Included in the link stack is a pdf from Immunize.org and i'm going to read both pages of it now for the record, because this is one of the worst lies that she keeps saying.
You must provide patients with vaccine information statements VISS.
It's federal law.
What are vaccine information statements VISS?
Vaccine information statements are documents produced by the Centers FOR Disease Control AND Prevention and consultation with panels of experts and parents to properly inform vaccinees or their parents or legal representatives about the risks and benefits of each vaccine.
Viss are not meant to replace interactions with health care providers, who should address any questions or concerns that the vaccine or parent legal representative may have.
Using viss as legally required, federal law under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act requires a healthcare professional to provide a copy of the current vis to an adult patient or to a child's parent slash legal representative before vaccinating an adult or child with a dose of the following vaccines, diphtheria tetanus pertussis measles, mom surbella polio, hepatitis a,
hepatitis b hemiophilia influenza, type b, hib, influenza, pneumococcal conjugate, meningococcal, rotavirus, human papillomavirus, or varicella slash chickenpox.
Where to get VISs?
All available VISs can be downloaded from the websites of immunize.org or CEC.
They provide links in the statement.
Ready-to-copy versions may also be available from your state or local health department.
Translations.
You can find VISs in more than 40 languages on the immunize.org website.
To obtain translations of VISs in language other than English, go to and it gives a link.
According to the CDC, the appropriate VIS must be given prior to the vaccination and prior to each dose of a multi-dose series, regardless of the age of the vaccines and regardless of whether the vaccine is given in a public or private health care setting.
Top 10 facts about VISs.
Fact 1, it's federal law.
You must provide current VISs to all your patients before vaccinating them.
Federal law requires that VISs must be used for patients of all ages when administering these vaccines.
DTAP, TD, and TDAP, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, HIB, HBV, influenza, and activated live and live, intranasal, MMR and MMRV, meningococcal, pneumococcal conjugate, polio, rotavirus, varicella.
For the vaccines not covered under NCVIA, such as adenovirus, anthrax, COVID-19, Denigae, Ebola, Japanese encephalitis, pneumococcal, polysaccharide, rabies, RSV, smallpox/slash monkeypox, tick-borne encephalitis, typhoid, yellow fever, and zoster, providers are not required by federal law to use VISs.
However, CDC recommends that VISs be used whenever these vaccines are given.
When administering a vaccine under conditions of an emergency use authorization, an EUA, an EUA fact sheet must be used.
And it gives a link.
Federal law allows up to six months for a new VIS to be used.
Fact two, VISs can be given to patients in a variety of ways.
In most medical settings, VISs are provided to patients or their parents slash legal representatives in paper form.
However, VISs also may be provided using electronic media.
Regardless of the format used, the goal is to provide a current VIS just prior to vaccination for information on special circumstances involving vaccination.
As of May 29th, 2025, the most recent versions of the VISs are, and it gives an entire list.
You must provide patients with vaccine information statements.
So of a child, prior to vaccination, VIS may be provided as a paper copy, offered on a permanent laminated office copy, downloaded by the vaccine to a smartphone or other electronic device.
VISs have been specially formatted for this purpose, made available to be read before the office visit by giving the patient or parent a copy to take home during a prior visit or telling them how to download or view a copy online.
These patients must still be offered a copy in one of the formats described previously to read during the immunization visit as a reminder.
Regardless of the way the patient is given the VIS to read, providers must still offer a copy, which can be an electronic copy, of each appropriate VIS to take home following the vaccination.
However, the vaccine may decline to take the VIS home.
Fact 3, VISs are required in both public and private sector healthcare settings.
Federal law requires the use of VISs in both public and private sector settings, regardless of the source of payment for the vaccine.
Fact 4.
must provide a current VIS before a vaccine is administered to the patient.
A VIS provides information about the disease and the vaccine and must be given to the patient before a vaccine is administered.
It is also acceptable to hand out the VIS before administering vaccines, such as at a prenatal visit or at birth for vaccines an infant will receive during infancy, as long as you still provide a current VIS right before administering vaccines.
Fact 5.
You must provide a current VIS for each dose of vaccine you administer.
The most current VIS must be provided before each dose of vaccine is given, including vaccines given as a series of doses.
For example, if five doses of a single vaccine are required, such as DTAP, the patient or parent/slash legal representative must have the opportunity to read the information on the VIS before each dose is given.
Fact 6, you must provide VISs whenever you administer combination vaccines.
If you administer a combination vaccine that does not have a standalone VIS, such as Kinrix, Quadricell, Pedorix, Twenticel, TwinRIX, you should provide the patient with individual VISs for the component vaccines or use the multi-vaccine VIS.
The multi-vaccine VIS may be used in place of the individual VISs for D-TAP, HIP, Hepatitis B, polio, and pneumococcal when two or more of these vaccines are administered during the same visit.
It may be used for infants as well as children through six years of age.
The multi-vaccine VIS should not be used for adolescents or adults.
Fact 7.
VISs should be given in a language/slash format that the recipient can understand whenever possible.
For patients who don't read or speak English, the law requires that providers ensure all patients, parent or legal representatives, receive a VIS regardless of their ability to read English.
To obtain VISs in more than 40 languages, visit the immunize.org website at, and it gives links.
Fact 8.
Federal law does not require signed consent in order for a person to be vaccinated.
Signed consent is not required by federal law for vaccination, although some states may require it.
Fact 9.
To verify that a VIS was given, providers must record in the patient's medical record or permanent office log or file the following information.
The addition date of the VIS found on the back of the right bottom corner, the date the VIS is provided, such as the date of the visit when the vaccine is administered.
In addition, providers must record the office address and name and title of the person who administers the vaccine, the date the vaccine is administered, the vaccine manufacturer and lot number.
Fact 10.
VISs should not be altered before giving them to patients, but you can add some information.
Providers should not change a VIS or write their own VISs.
However, it is permissible to add a practice's name, address, and contact information to an existing VIS.
Additional resources on VISs and their use are available from the following organizations.
Immunize.org, it provides links.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and provides links.
So that is that.
And fuck you, Candace, and fuck you, RFK, and fuck you, Searhan, Searhan, and fuck you, Trump, and fuck you, RFK Jr.
And fuck you, all of you fucking people that believe the shit Candace Owens says on this fucking topic because she is clearly a massive fucking liar.
I swear, if the Prinoccho rule was applied to her, we could attach a fucking space probe to her nose and touch foreign planetary bodies with it easily.
That shit could revolutionize space travel.
And if she is involved, maybe she won't blame Satanists for the space program or whatever the fuck.
Moving on.
Next question.
Candace doesn't understand consent or waivers, apparently, which is a huge shock to the system for a woman that befriends rapists and pimps.
Pink Panther writes, when I took my son to the pediatrician and refused to have him vaccinated, they made me sign a paper releasing them of any responsibility.
I asked them for a paper to sign, making them duly responsible for any damages from the vaccines.
Guess we didn't sign anything.
I love that Pink Panther.
By the way, that's a great screen name, Pink Panther.
That is brilliant.
And that's that whole idea.
The whole thing, that whole here, well, here's what you have to sign, which is what I told you a few episodes ago.
We were like, we're taking my baby and we're getting out of here.
Essentially trying to get people to sign a piece of paper is just a point of thuggery, right?
It's like, oh, okay, well, you don't do it, but sign and say that whatever happens to your kid is not our fault.
That's meant to scare you.
This psychological warfare.
I mean, you're like, oh, my gosh, if I sign something, I signed that thing so happily in the hospital.
I was like, can somebody bring me crayons?
I'm going to draw around it, color it.
Yup, not doing this.
And they're very stunned by that because that is sort of their last-ditch effort to make you think you're doing something dangerous and we want you to sign a waiver saying that's not our fault.
Yes, it would make sense.
It would make sense if, since they are the ones pushing it, since these are the drug dealers, that they also sign something.
If something happens to my kid for the rest of my child's life into their adulthood, you're going to pay for it.
You accept full responsibility.
And no, I am guessing they did not sign anything.
I want to remind everyone again that a continued assertion of this podcast is that Candace Owens was never, in fact, harmed by Gardasil.
This is because if she had been, she could have used the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, the VICP, otherwise known as the Vaccine Court, to pursue a case against the manufacturer, which the first step in litigation when one has a valid claim.
She would have known that this approach that she is pushing and blathering about is nonsense and that the VICP program is there in the event of a valid claim of harm.
It is paid for with a 75 cent surcharge for every dose of every vaccine given out that is covered by the program, which is most of them.
The manufacturers pay this into a trust fund established by the program and that trust fund pays award money and pays for the time of the court and the legal fees involved, including attorney fees.
So there is no reason to run a doctor through your bullshit since the VICP exists and seems to work well.
As for where Candace lives in Tennessee, all she had to do is say no to signing the form acknowledging her refusal to vaccinate her kids.
And all it would have required is a witness to her refusal to sign.
The form is there to take liability away from the medical provider because the parent is a fucking douchebag.
If this next fool is from Ireland, you guys have some fucking educating to do.
Gala J writes, will you cover vaccines recommended for pregnant women?
In Ireland, it's the whooping cough and the flu vaccine and now the COVID vaccine.
Yes, this is something that I have realized has exploded over the last couple of years where now they're trying to front end vaccines.
And I know someone who I am telling you from the bottom of my heart, her baby had a seizure in the womb after she got the TDAP shot.
Everything was totally fine.
And then suddenly everything was not fine with her child.
And this is again a circumstance of plausible deniability.
The child is in your womb.
It's growing.
You cannot say that their vaccine caused that.
These same people that are telling you: if you have one glass of wine, get in that hot tub for longer than 10 minutes, eat sushi, and now telling you that no, absolutely, we can give you all of these toxins while you are pregnant.
And if something's wrong with your child, that's just the way your child was born.
That is madness to me.
I've already shared this with you many times, but I do not.
I decline all vaccines while I'm pregnant.
I decline all.
I even decline the sugar test to see if you have gestational diabetes.
I feel very in tune with my body.
I would know if something was wrong with my body.
You can see it when you look at people that there seems to be something off, they're having weird symptoms.
And I'm just not somebody who engages in that whatsoever, but it is something that does need to be discussed.
And I would say a starting point, by the way, is to just go back to the D-Tap episode.
It's virtually the exact same ingredients.
You're just getting more of it because you're an adult, right?
So one's the T-DAP, one's the D D-TAP.
If it's for children, go look at those ingredients and just really then compare it to that big list the doctor gives you of things that you are not allowed to do while you're pregnant.
Deli meat, aluminum.
Oh, okay, you shouldn't eat the deli meat, but you can go ahead and get this aluminum shot of aluminum, and everything is going to be totally fine.
Like I said, absolute madness.
And yes, we will cover that on a later episode.
I'm going to need a fucking sandwich with some deli meat after all this.
Yeah, okay, so we covered this shit on the T-DAP episode as well, Candace.
Anyone that wants a thorough debunking of her bullshit on that one can go back and give it a listen.
As for her being miffed about wine and hot tubs and whatever else pregnant women are generally advised not to do, I can only imagine that she tried to do a lot of shit and got pissed about it at some point.
Considering that so very few medicines are available to pregnant women that want to carry to term, Candace's argument seems more bullshit.
Very few medicines at all are considered okay for pregnant persons, right?
But a few vaccines are okay because they have been tested and found beneficial and not a risk, but actually a boon for the child and the mother.
So her argument falls apart pretty easily.
As for not taking the gestational diabetes test, that's just dumb for her to skip on if the doctor advised for her to do it, but whatever.
At this point, I have to assume that if my religious outlook is correct, then whoever she is giving birth to must have previously been soldiers or mercenaries that fought for Rhodesia.
Next question.
Yeah, you know, like they fart for Rhodesia.
They got killed, which Rhodesia is formerly Rhodesia.
It's currently Zimbabwe.
Okay.
Because they had a revolution that worked.
Right.
There's been a lot of bloodshed there since, but they kicked them white motherfuckers out.
Fair.
Yeah.
The Rhodesian military uniform was fucking ridiculous.
It was like that, it was like a tan, like safari, like top.
And you remember Reno 911?
Yeah.
Remember Sheriff Dangle?
Yeah.
Basically, Dangle shorts on the whitest possible legs.
Oh my God.
Like Behind the Bastards did an amazing breakdown of Soldier of Fortune magazine, which was a magazine sent out to people that fancied themselves as mercenaries.
Rhodesia recruited a lot of like dumb people from Soldier of Fortune magazine that wound up going over there and a lot of them would get shot walking off the plane.
Like the The rebels just were picking them off.
Just in the biggest, baddest ways.
Like, yeah.
Brother, this is the easiest killing we've ever done.
Well, it helps that they land the plane in the exact same spot every time.
I mean, props to the pilots.
They land in the same spot.
Oh, my God.
It was.
Yeah, it was so.
impressive hearing the whole breakdown of it.
But yeah, I have to assume that anyone coming through the birth canal of Candace Owens or anyone like her had to have been a soldier for the Rhodesian military.
Got picked off.
Their soul floated around for a while.
Maybe they became a cockroach.
Maybe they became a good cockroach.
They earned their way back to humanity.
And now they get, you know, vaginally produced by Candace or friends.
And they have to suffer a life without vaccines.
How do you be a good cockroach?
You know, I mean, maybe it's a cockroach that like eats other Rhodesians.
I don't know.
They're not all bad.
They're just, you don't want them in your house.
You just, you know, want them in nature.
Be a nature cockroach and go do nature cockroach things.
Eat a pile of leaves or whatever the fuck.
You know.
Maybe, maybe don't be bad.
Sacrifice yourself, you know, for the good of your brood, get eaten by a bird, whatever the fuck.
Okay, fair enough.
Yeah.
Like, like, even if it doesn't have a concept of good or bad, it has a concept of survival and sacrifice.
Yeah.
That would be like a good cockroach.
Okay.
You know, you fight for Rhodesia.
You get sent back down to cockroach level.
You earn your way back up.
But you get to be human, but, you know, you're human that comes out of a bad human.
Now you have to fight that programming and try to continue to be good, even though you've come from a really bad place.
Best place to end up is turtle, I think.
Yeah.
A turtle just died recently that was like 140 something years old.
Really?
Yeah, massive damn time.
Okay, next up.
This person makes no sense.
Mama Lisa writes, I love it that you are talking about this.
When my youngest child, who was unvaccinated, was in elementary school, there was an outbreak of chickenpox.
And I sure wanted her to get chickenpox.
I got a call from the director of public health for a five-county area, and he told me that my daughter would need to be out of school for two weeks because she was a threat to the other vaccinated students.
What an absolute backwards way to even think about that.
My daughter, who did not have chickenpox, was a threat to the other students who were vaccinated and had chickenpox.
I mean, it's mind-boggling.
Like I said, you will see this over and over again, that they blame the healthy, unvaccinated kids every time there's an outbreak.
And they forget to mention the fact that the healthy kids are not getting the outbreak.
They're not a part of the outbreak, which just common sense.
I mean, really, it's just not that common.
You're so afraid of healthy, unvaxed kids.
And you're like, this is the reason why my kid is sick because you anti-vaxxers are healthy.
That's the logic.
Completely foolish.
No, fuck no.
Mama Lisa sucks and Candace sucks too, but I'm not sure which is more foolish, as Obi-Wan said, the fool or the fool who follows him.
Anyway, the reason her kid would be barred from school is because a student had a highly communicable disease in an age when that disease has a vaccine.
But the vaccine status of students is known.
So the parent was told their kid would have to stay home during the known infection period of the disease so that she would not get it and either suffer or spread it.
And Candace's bullshit about how the non-vaxed are healthier than the vaxed is demonstrably false.
What that kid was at risk from was not just the disease student having been in the school, but residual transmission by way of the vaccinated kids who were well shielded against the virus, but could pass it on to the non-vaxxed kid.
Included in the link stack is an article about how long chickenpox can live in a room after someone leaves it.
As little as one hour up to several hours.
And if an HVAC system is in place, it can travel through that system, which Candace should be well aware of considering how she cannot be in a house with someone that has a pet rabbit due to the same reasons.
Mama Lisa sucks and Candace sucks.
Who sucks more?
We may never know.
Next question.
Lori writes, my daughter suffered seizures from her first shot, has not received any live vaccines at all.
Thank you, Lord, that she was seizure-free within a month with quick, extensive treatment.
She's a beautiful, healthy 20-year-old today.
And Lori, I will bet that when she suffered those seizures from her first shot, you had no idea that seizures were even a plausibility.
You had no idea because they don't want you to know that.
They just convince you that what you're doing is for your daughter's health.
And I am also thanking the Lord with you that she is 20 years old today and that she was able to make a full recovery.
It's terrifying that more parents need to share their stories and we willing to share those stories because you could quite literally save a life.
You could quite literally save a life by saying, this happened to my child.
So again, blessings to you and your healthy daughter.
Yeah, Lori the liar, perhaps.
We've talked at length about seizure risk and vaccines before, so I won't retread that ground, except to say that it's mildly interesting to me that this mother doesn't go on into any kind of detail as to what the seizures were or anything.
Given that we know from all of these episodes that seizure is a scary word that has its own spectrum of effect, Candace or the viewer leaving out the details is important.
Was it a small febiral seizure like a muscle that she happened to notice?
Was it another type entirely?
Or is she just full of shit and looking for mention as a loyal fan?
We may never know.
Moving on.
Haley writes, I wasn't vaccinated until 16 and was the healthiest of all of us kids.
I never got sick, but my stepmom and dad made me get vaccinated before going on a trip to Costa Rica with my school.
Even though my mom went to the classes for religious exemptions, ever since I get sick with the usual seasonal illnesses, my kids will not be poked.
Yeah, evil stepmom, Cinderella situation.
I hate this for you.
I hate this happened.
Sorry, I'm just kidding.
Your stepmom's not evil.
She probably also thought that she was doing the right thing.
And yeah, there tends to be this thing when you're traveling abroad where they put even more pressure on you of, well, you don't know, it's a foreign country.
I've been to Costa Rica.
It's beautiful.
It's way cleaner than America is, way cleaner than American inner cities.
So you probably did not need those vaccines.
And fortunately, yeah, it probably did impact your health.
So I looked into what vaccines, if any, would ever be required for a trip to Costa Rica.
The Costa Rican government does have recommended vaccines for people depending on where they are coming from, regardless of the length of their stay in the country.
So without knowing more, we can't know if the vaccines were unavoidable or not.
But I also don't believe that this woman never ever got sick up until getting vaccinated at the age of 16 and now has seasonal allergies and shit.
I call bullshit.
Next up, the last viewer comment, and a large part of why I wanted to do this show, which is the woefully uninformed consumers of grifters like Candace Owens.
Finally, we have this from Mal Peters.
She writes, this podcast really opened my eyes.
I did an insane amount of research for the nine months I was pregnant and put it all into a binder.
I brought the binder with me when I delivered.
The nurses were so proud and happy to see the amount of research we had done.
I was so surprised to have such support from the staff that I was able to find a provider who supported our decision not to vaccinate.
Thanks, Candace, for all the hard work that you put into educating my husband and I really motivated my husband and I to do even more research outside of your podcast.
My biggest concern was the backlash I was going to get from providers and the staff of the hospital that I delivered at and I also work at.
But everyone was so supportive and not pushy at all at all.
I was not expecting that reaction, but I was completely prepared had it gone south.
That's what this is all about.
Now it's a perfect place to end this podcast.
It's all about you being prepared.
It's all about parents not walking into a room and feeling like a Dairo headlights as people are throwing terms at you, as people are bullying you, as people are putting pressure on you, emotional pressure on you, just ending the fear campaign and letting you feel confident to answer and say, but why aren't you talking about this?
What about this?
And as you will see, in some circumstances, they invite that conversation.
I think there are a lot more nurses that are on our side, honestly.
I have seen that a lot of nurses are sort of like, yeah, your kid doesn't really need this, but I'm supposed to tell you to get this.
There are great people out there.
Don't ever want you to walk away from this podcast thinking that all the doctors and nurses are against you.
But I do want you to be very alive to what the medical establishment is and why I fight it.
More information is needed, not less.
All right, guys, that is all the time we have for today.
As always, all of the links and resources will be posted on our show Instagram page.
The handle is at shot in the dark TW.
Thank you guys for joining me.
We'll see you next time.
Okay, free at last.
So what I'm getting here is that this woman went to all the sites likely provided by fans of children's health defense and in the background looked up with those resources an anti-vax friendly birth center.
Without details, it is hard to say, but that is the kind of information that the community shares amongst itself, led by people like Candace Owens.
Candace doing the backpatting at the end is what really pushes me over.
Like, it's not on YouTube.
At the time, this video was not widely available or distributed.
It was done entirely for the PayPs to console themselves and to keep on living dangerously, not just for themselves, but to evangelize to others in what I believe is a calculated move among the grifters.
People that are like Candace Owens are well aware that their network of influence is spread by people evangelizing to their friends and anyone who will listen to their bullshit with an open mind and shit research skills.
In this case, it was to be spread to people paying for Daily Wire Plus.
People with skin in the game who might feel more compelled to pass on the lies that they fervently believed because they were paying a monthly fee and perhaps more for merchandise, event tickets, and the like.
Not just for Candace, but for the other bullshit artists at the Daily Wire and related media.
This is one reason on the pile that I am uncomfortable with taking money for this podcast.
It just doesn't sit well with me and I have to work with that feeling.
I'd like to make enough in donations to be able to do this more often or at least for the show to pay for itself, but I can't do that just yet.
The Patreon stays frozen for at least the first year of the reign of the Mad King.
But on that note, let's drink something weird from another place in the world.
What do we got tonight?
Um, we have...
I sent you the thing of the fucking thing.
I translated this using an app and I sent this to him before we did this show.
Did you send it as a text?
Yeah, it gets sent to your Facebook.
Pull that shit up.
Oh, it got some to the Facebook.
That's why I didn't.
Well, when I hit share, that was the first option, and I didn't feel like digging further.
Because do you realize what I did for this?
That's fair.
This is why this took three weeks, people.
Because I have a life outside of this, and sometimes I come home.
And I am too fucking brainwiped to do this shit.
But when I do, by God, I put my work into it.
So the text on the label is Russian, and the soda is called Bern Burntino.
Bortino, I believe.
Burtino, yes.
The brand is Chersey.
Yeah, we've had Chiercy before.
I think they made that tarragon one.
Yeah, they did.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it is, of course, a little lemonade sort of dealio.
That's what I'm gathering from it, yeah.
And it does have little depictions of Pinocchio on the side of it, which is kind of the irony that this ended up being the last drink that we have available right now.
Yeah, we're going to have to get to go back over to Paradise Market and get some more or something.
Wait, no, it says this is Twist Top.
Oh, look at that.
It actually came kind of loose.
Yeah.
God damn it.
Yeah, use your shirt.
Did you get it?
Oh, yay.
Cool.
All right.
It's about time.
It's got some nice bit of carbonation to it.
It's got a little fog cloud.
Nice.
Everybody up there is probably good.
See it.
Filling.
Go ahead.
I don't know that I would call it a lemonade smell.
It smells more pineapple-y.
It actually smells like banana.
Banana.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting.
Okay.
Oh, no.
It's banana.
That is banana.
It's like that Havana banana soda.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that would explain the name.
Burritino.
I mean, I guess.
I don't know.
Well, I mean, the last one that we had that was a lemonade beverage that was Russian, it looked vaguely like lemon.
Yeah.
This has a this looks like the Havana one.
It's milder, though.
Goes down a lot easier.
It's still fizzy, which is nice.
It's got that.
It's got the actual banana taste, not the chemical banana taste.
Yeah.
It's pretty good.
Let me see the ingredients in the bottle.
I know the ingredients are in English.
Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, and/or sugar.
Otherwise, it's not like some of these were like they had to print it and stick it to it.
Yeah.
Buratino, flavored carbonated beverage.
It's got a let's see.
Old world flavor made in America.
Oh.
Huh.
Yeah.
That's weird.
Well, where the fuck is it?
Distributed by Sparkling Oceanside New York.
Cheerseed.com.
C-H-E-R-S-I.
Huh.
Okay.
Well, all right.
Not going to knock it.
It's pretty good.
Although if this is meant to be a traditional lemonade, I mean, I know the radiation from Chernobyl fucked up a lot of things, but it makes me wonder, do Russians think that lemons are supposed to taste like bananas or that bananas are...
Both are yellow.
Come on, what do you want?
But the yellow.
You got to take the skin off of both.
You know?
There's just a Russian out there.
They start off green, they become yellow.
Then they go bad.
Yeah, I don't know.
Oh, man.
Well, anything to add to this bullshit?
Well, not so much to this bullshit, but something I remember mentioning episodes ago when I purchased them was A-Bomb Energy.
That drink.
I had an interesting occurrence with the orange flavor.
Did you get a bubble gut?
No.
If you want to pick that up, you'll feel that it's light as air.
I haven't cracked it open out of fear.
Okay.
Because when I purchased it and unpacked it, it was just as heavy as the cherry flavor behind it.
Yeah, wow.
Okay.
Yeah.
And if you look at the bottom of it, you see like condensation, and if you look at the table that it was sitting on, you'll see residue.
Somehow, without it opening in any way noticeable, all of the fluid leaked out of it.
No shit.
What's weird...
Well, not all of...
There's still something here.
Yeah, yeah, there's...
I can catch it on the mic, but...
Yeah, that is a closed container.
Yeah.
Huh.
There's nothing bent.
It's not blowing.
Hold on, hold on.
I think I can get something out of it.
But yeah.
Like, I feel some wet.
Yeah.
Huh.
Yeah, the other one is very heavy.
Huh.
That's, uh...
I wouldn't open that.
Yeah, no, no.
In fact, I would get that out of your room.
Yeah.
Clean that spot.
Yeah.
I would clean that spot.
Yeah, I'm not sure how that happened.
Just the other day I was moving stuff around over there, and I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm going to move this.
And then I was like, you know what?
Actually, I'm going to drink the orange flavor today.
And I pick up the orange flavor and I go, huh?
Wow.
That's weirdly light.
And so I set it down and I grabbed the other one just to see.
And it's heavy.
And I go, you know what?
I don't think I'm going to drink either of these today.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, we had Thanksgiving was recently.
It was this past week.
And we had a pretty good one this year.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
It was.
Yeah.
Well, that is, I think, all that we have for now.
This episode has gone on almost three hours.
Yeah.
That said, I had a lot of reading material to go through.
Yeah.
But my favorite thing is that an article directly called out her bullshit with sourcing and facts and et cetera.
And I was so happy when I found that.
I was so very happy.
Yeah.
Because I started putting the claim, you know, into the search engine and it came up and I was like, no way.
No, there's no way this happened.
I went and looked at it and I was like, oh my God.
Sure as shit.
Wow.
Way to go, fellas.
Ladies, other, I don't care.
Someone, probably some many ones, knocked it out of the park on that one.
And I appreciate it.
Very high regard.
Okay, folks.
So the link stack will be available.
I'm going to have to start going through, I think, and putting up the transcript links so I don't feel so bad about that.
So here's what happens, right?
The links, the episode goes up, and I'm connected to the Fudgie archive.
So I usually like to give it a day or two before I start looking to see if the, it's all an automated process.
Fudgie sets it up and he just lets it go, which is awesome.
And people absolutely should support the Fudgy archive.
If you want to give us money, why don't you give it to him?
Because this guy is providing transcripts, not just for us.
And I do support him with a monthly donation, but he's providing transcripts not just for us, but for, and I assume Fudgy's a he.
Correct me if I'm wrong sometime, Fudgie.
Anyway, he's providing transcripts not just for us, but also for Knowledge Fight and God, like a dozen or so other shows.
All he has to do is just, you know, set his thing to scan, and that's what it does.
So it is scanning these words as I'm saying them.
Or not as I'm saying them, but when the episode goes up.
But anyway.
It's more like a sign language interpreter at a event.
Kind of, yeah, or like somebody who's watching a video later and doing it in the bottom corner.
But yeah, so I would encourage anyone that wants to give us money, give some money to that guy.
He's doing phenomenal work for a ton of us.
And I don't know how much he makes on it.
I don't really care.
If you want to give out donation money, give it to that dude.
He deserves it just for doing transcription work.
It's an incredible resource and I highly recommend it to anyone because he doesn't just transcribe the shows like this one in Knowledge Fight, etc.
The source material is also being transcribed.
So Candace Owens wasn't being transcribed until I reached out to him about this show and then he had a jumping off point to transcribe her shows.
So anytime Candace makes a show, that shit gets transcribed.
Okay?
So that's another reason.
So you need transcriptions from InfoWars?
Fudgie's got them.
Fudgie has not asked me to say any of this.
I am doing it out of the kindness for a good person that, you know, we're coming up on year's end and it's almost Christmas time.
Give this man some fucking money, people.
All right.
That's all I got.
Hopefully this doesn't take another three weeks.
I have not started the next episode.
It's just been a busy fucking time.
But I will start working on it tomorrow.
I'll listen to it.
I'll spend all day in my car and I will listen to this next fucking bullshit thing.
And I will craft my approach from there.
I will do update episodes as I feel they are needed here and there.
But again, the deal with those is they're like 10 to 20 minutes long.
You guys who have been listening, you know the drill.
All right, that's it, everybody.
As I said, I will start providing links to the Fudgy archives for specific episodes this week.
I do not expect to get them all done in one day because I have so many other obligations, but I am doing what I can.
That's it.
You got anything to add before I hit the stop button?
No.
Well, just have a good day.
And if it does take us another three weeks, have a happy Christmas or Anuka or whatever you celebrate.
Kwanzaa, I don't know if that falls in this time I think if you're in the right kind of family You get to say Happy Christmas Kwanzaa Happy Christmas Kwanzaa Yeah Yeah.
