It’s been just over 2 years since my mother was hospitalized within months of receiving her two Moderna jabs (please read on to understand why I have a hard time calling them vaccines). At the time and because of her age (88), her and many others around the world thought it was in their best interest to be injected with an emergency use and experimental drug (being a scientist, I did not appreciate the accelerated clinical trials or the cherry picking of data and the manipulation & miscommunication of statistical data, like absolute versus relative risks). Unfortunately, since she had been widowed since my father’s passing in 1992, she endured much suffering alone in various health care settings. Nevertheless, I can only reflect back with an attitude of gratitude for all she has done for our family and so many others over her lifetime.
You see, it started in late August of 2021. After living her entire life independently and enjoying many of the freedoms we take for granted with good health, she became ill with cold and flu symptoms, had a seizure which went untreated by her lodger, and was taken to the ER on August 30th suspecting she had COVID. She was initially diagnosed with a UTI and low sodium, but a neurologist later diagnosed her with herpes encephalitis, which many other doctors suspected to be strokes. She was readmitted to the hospital a 2nd time. The social workers informed her she could not return to her home because of safety concerns (slips, trips & falls).
She didn’t realize that she’d be spending the next several months away from home, or that home as she knew it would no longer exist. But she did enjoy the attention she received from the many doctors that took care of her as well as the wonderful nurses and caregivers. Following another seizure, she almost passed away on September 3rd. Nevertheless, she recovered quickly, and was suddenly released on September 10th and put on blood thinners after a blood clot was discovered behind her knee. Several doctors and specialists could not agree upon the exact underlying medical diagnosis. She overstayed her welcome by the medical insurance establishment and was directed to leave. A kind social worker informed us that for someone at her age, she should have never been taken off straight Medicare. Much of her medical treatment options and costs she needed were denied. It’s unfortunate that a friend from the club talked her into switching from Medicare to a PPO insurance plan.
Since her insurance would not cover acute or subacute rehab (the denial came just hours before her actual discharge) and she couldn’t return to her home for fall safety issues, the only option left was for a transfer to a homecare setting, which certainly didn’t provide the quality of care she needed in her impaired state. Three days later she was back in the ER when she had completely lost most motor and cognitive functions the evening of Sunday September 12th. She was admitted to the hospital the next morning when a series of new evaluations and tests were begun to try and determine the cause of her re-hospitalization and illness.
She had another major seizure two days later and was in a comatose state over the next 72 hours. She spent the next 3 weeks in the hospital under close monitoring and medications. She slowly pulled out of her near-death condition the next 3 weeks, and her doctors and specialists continued to run every single test and evaluation available to diagnose her illness, except for a brain biopsy, which was considered too risky. Some of the physicians were asked point blank if her illness could be related to the COVID “vaccines”, and they indicated a determined “NO” with no qualification or detail. I can’t understand why doctors wouldn’t consider or comment on something outside the box on a complicated medical case like hers.
After no other options were available and the final diagnosis was by process of elimination, the medical-insurance establishment cut off her hospital care and issued discharge papers, which had the following diagnoses: acute encephalopathy, seizure, atrial fibrillation, sinus bradycardia with second degree AV block, UTI secondary to enterococcus, hypertension, popliteal vein DVT, and left lower extremity.
An ambulance transferred her to the only local skilled nursing facility (SNF) willing to accept her on October 6. The hospital discharge plan had called for 24-hour care due to her weakened and frail condition since she hadn’t been out of her bed for almost a month. Because of COVID, her family was not allowed to enter the facility for an orientation and communicate with her new caregivers. Their only access to the SNF was a short 20-minute conversation with the social worker at an outdoor patio.
The very the next morning, she was left alone in her wheelchair and fell onto the floor straight onto her face and broke her nose. An ambulance transferred her to the ER and had 7 stitches above her eye. Despite her weakened and frail condition, they returned her to the SNF later that afternoon and she spent the next 2 weeks in severe pain mostly sleeping and eating. Problems with incontinence were addressed daily, and she needed two workers and a mechanical lift to use the restroom. As her aches and pains dissipated, her family requested rehab, and she slowly began receiving therapies (PT, OT & ST).
As an 88-year-old, the fall had set her rehabilitation schedule back significantly. The SNF staff admitted that they had failed to pay attention to the Hospital Discharge Plan which called for 24-hour care and fall risk. They subsequently moved her to a new room where she could be physically observed by staff and eventually installed a monitor in the room. Her new staff doctor diagnosed her with “Dementia” without communicating this to family members.
As she slowly improved her motor skills and cognition from the 1st fall, less than 3 weeks later her insurance company provided notice of non-coverage (NC) on 10-26-21 and continued more NC notices for the next 3 weeks. She had a 2nd fall and ER visit on November 18th. Our insurance coverage appeals were successful until November 19th when the 3rd party insurance review agreed to terminate her coverage and the facility indicated that approximately $10,000 per month would be required for her to stay at the SNF.
On December 10th, the SNF indicated she tested positive for COVID and was placed in an isolated wing of the SNF alone for 2 weeks. After 2 days, her minor COVID symptoms were gone, but the isolation had detrimental impacts on her well-being and her health started to decline rapidly. Since staff attention and care had diminished because of her isolation, her family started in room PT and finally requested discharge to homecare so that she could at least spend the holidays with family.
An ambulance delivered her to a new home setting on the morning of December 17th. Her family rotated shifts for 24-hour home care with a licensed caregiver during the daytime and family had the night shifts. She continued to work on incontinence challenges and in-home therapy by family to prepare her for a flight on December 31st to Phoenix, Arizona where she would be admitted to a dementia assisted living facility with in-house therapy. At 6 a.m. on New Years Eve, we were notified that the flight was canceled because of COVID.
About this time, the SNF facility back in Illinois was issuing letters threatening suing my mother for non-payment of care services. They asserted that my mother owed several more thousands of dollars. When I had finally contacted the insurance provider, they indicated that they had settled with the insurance company months before and my mother owed them nothing. The PPO continued to fight for the extra money months later, despite the agreement I uncovered, not to mention my threats of following a lawsuit for all the pain and suffering my mother endured in the first 24-hours of their care.
On January 8th, 2022, my sister was remarried in California. We celebrated a new life for her and her husband, and we all hurried back the following day to celebrate my mother’s 89th birthday. She was in Arizona and settling into her new dementia / Alzheimer’s facility. The same one that my mother-in-law had passed away on Thanksgiving morning 2021. By the end of the month, I took care of some belated business. I went online to the VAERS database. I reported my mother’s suspected adverse reactions, as well as those of my wife who was coerced into taking the jabs in order to continue visiting her mother in the Arizona care facility. My wife’s post jab experiences were episodes of numbness, tingling and shock throughout her entire body at night. Here is my mother’s VAERS report:
Patient’s brain injury has permanently impacted her cognitive capabilities, incapacitated her to the point she is no longer to live independently, and has tremendously impacted her financially due to care and living costs which are skyrocketing.
Patient was transferred into a Dementia-Memory Care facility on January 2, 2022, and then to another Dementia-Memory Care facility on June 2, 2022. Since the last VAERS notification, patient has had repeated seizures, TIAs and 8 rehospitalizations (ER trips) between March and December of 2022. Patient has also had repeated symptomatic COVID-19 positive tests along with repeated UTIs, numbness in hands and feet, bloody noses and falls as well as historic medical issues entered on original VAERS report from the 2021 hospitalizations. The most recent Care Plan dated 1-6-2023 included dx of encephalitis, HTN, cardiac arrhythmia, dementia, UTIs, and seizures. Patient remains stable but struggles with anxiety and facility room & board care costs which have gone up 40% in the last year.
I personally witnessed a couple of seizures at the ER, and I thought that my mother had had arrived at death’s doorstep. My daughter then got to witness the same months later, shortly after we finally realized that her seizure meds had been discontinued. That’s another story. My mother’s faith and family helped her through her medical challenges over the 4-month period in 2021. She prayed to God every night in hope of her deliverance from care settings and back to a normal “home” setting where she could shop, cook and live. She was given natural supplements throughout her illness to aid in her physical and mental recovery.
In the early months following my mother’s illness, I became obsessed with trying to research and determine what was going on within her body as well as my wife’s. I had trouble sleeping and would wake up and spend hours researching COVID, the mRNA jabs and the spike protein online. I’ve accumulated my own personal library of information as well as naturopathic treatments and support groups.
In the 2nd quarter of 2021, the CDC’s VAERS database had 278 reports of herpes zoster
following the Moderna or Pfizer vaccinations, suggesting a correlation with the mRNA vaccines and the suppression of the innate immune response. A month later, the same researchers drew another correlation with adverse reactions tying the signaling cascade triggered in the heart vasculature to coronary artery disease, and activation in the brain could lead to stroke. Systemic hypertension would also be predicted. They hypothesized that this ability of the spike protein to promote pulmonary arterial hypertension could predispose patients who recover from SARS-CoV-2 to later develop right ventricular heart failure. Furthermore, they suggested that a similar effect could happen in response to the mRNA vaccines, and they warned of potential long-term consequences to both children and adults who received COVID-19 vaccines based on the spike protein (Suzuki and Gychka, 2021).
Two other studies in 2021 and 2022 had additional questionable side effects of the COVID injections. A 2022 study asserted that spike protein alone is sufficient to cause the endothelial damage associated with COVID-19. They noted implications of the vaccines with a link to cells manufacturing the spike protein along with a clear cause for concern. They added that neurological symptoms associated with COVID-19, including encephalitis and fatal brain blood clots, are all indicators of damaging viral effects on the brain. Buzhdygan et. al. (2020) proposed that primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells could cause these symptoms.
The same study proposed an association in the brain vasculature with dementia and hypertension, both of which are risk factors for bad outcomes from COVID-19. An in vitro study of the blood-brain barrier, a (S1) component of the spike protein, promoted loss of barrier integrity suggesting that the spike protein acting alone triggers a pro-inflammatory response in brain endothelial cells. This could support the neurological components and consequences of the disease.
This information is 2 years old; what does the new research show? I’m talking about the research that isn’t bought and paid for by big pharma, or isn’t fact checked by big tech. I am referring to basic science; peer-reviewed research with an open dialogue between professionals who want to protect and prevent people from further harm, and develop viable treatment options. It is apparent that the money big pharma has taken in circulates throughout the medical machine, and then passed on to big tech and MSM to suppress and censor any alternative viewpoints. They both control the messaging on the internet and media outlets.
Though I still ponder how Big Pharma was allowed to eliminate all liability from their “vaccines” and rake in the greatest profits in history off the backs of innocent victims throughout the world? Anyone who has survived the past 3 years should know why. A very small group has made a ton of money from it at the expense of We the People (WTP), stealing our savings as well as our dignity. Our government has allowed it to happen.
In November of 2021, we took Betty to her final visit with her neurologist who had become her biggest advocate. He confirmed that her HSV diagnosis was accurate and indicated that “it’s a miracle (through God) that a woman her age has recovered from this illness!”. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Karina Reiss, Ph.D. have written 2 books describing how SARS-CoV-2 turns our immune system toward a path of self-destruction. This is similar to the Bradykinin hypothesis which helps explain some of the more unusual symptoms of COVID-19, including bizarre effects on the cardiovascular system. In particular, how SARS-CoV-2 downregulates your body’s ability to degrade or break down bradykinin leading to a bradykinin storm, similar to the cytokine storm associated with the spike protein. Many of these symptoms and diagnoses appear on VAERS.
Our own government has failed WTP. Now more than ever we need to prioritize our personal health care in our pursuit of life (our HEALTH), liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The CDC and FDA knows that VAERS is a warning system to protect us, but now the data does not fit their pro-jab narrative.
At the beginning of 2023, The Epoch Times revealed a cover-up of VAERS data. The CDC and FDA agreed to monitor VAERS to identify health risks with COVID-19 vaccines. They do this analysis through proportional reporting ratio or PRR, which evaluates safety risks of new vaccines comparing them to historical vaccines. Some of this goes back to 2020, and some of the findings are alarming. My questions are why do we continue to get bombarded by pro-vaccine advertising and the CDC & FDA are not advertising any of the risks, and why the procrastination over the past 3 years? And since acknowledging that myocarditis and pericarditis are caused by the mRNA vaccines, why aren’t they advertising that along with the other 500 adverse events obtained from the PRR results?
I give thanks and praise to God that the last year has been free of falls, seizures, and ER trips! Betty Warneke resides in Sun City West, AZ after surviving a 27-hour road trip through 4 snowstorms from South Beloit, IL on New Year’s Eve 2021. Despite all her setbacks, she still retains her faculties despite dementia slowly eroding away at her brain and cognition. She has asked me to extend a big THANK YOU to all the wonderful doctors, nurses and caregivers who have helped her survive the past 2 years. Happy Thanksgiving!
I am truly blessed that I’ve been given the time and patience to care for my mother and my wife. Let us all remember the final words in Ecclesiastes: Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of mankind. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Amen!
