In this episode of the John Henry Weston Show, we speak with Dr. Paul E. Alexander, who is a PhD from McMaster University and a former WHO pandemic evidence synthesis advisor. Dr. Alexander has worked with the Trump administration and the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington, D.C. as well as providing support to members of Congress. He is currently an independent academic scientist and COVID-19 consultant researcher.
00:00:00.000In this time where we are questioning almost everything that we're told by government and big pharma, not knowing if they're trying to harm us or to help us, we need to speak to experts who actually know what they're talking about.
00:00:12.580And particularly now, as we're dealing with giving these so-called vaccines to children, we want to find out, parents want to know what exactly is going on.
00:00:22.680So we've got someone to speak with today on this episode of the John Henry Weston Show that is really a super expert on things.
00:00:29.740Dr. Paul E. Alexander. He's a PhD. He has expertise in teaching of epidemiology, which is clinical epidemiology.
00:00:38.580It's evidence-based medicine, and also he's an expert in research methodology.
00:00:44.300He's a former assistant professor at McMaster University in the evidence-based medicine and a former COVID pandemic evidence synthesis advisor to the WHO.
00:00:55.800And also, and that was in 2020, he was a former senior advisor to COVID pandemic policy in the U.S. government and therefore worked with the Trump administration and health and human services in Washington, D.C.
00:01:11.220He worked and was appointed in 2008 at the WHO as a regional specialist and epidemiologist in Europe's regional office in Denmark.
00:01:22.780Also, these nations were involved at the time in projects in Russia and Turkey and Ukraine, Poland.
00:01:30.420He was employed from 2017 to 2019 at the Infectious Diseases Society of America in Virginia.
00:01:37.440And as the evidence synthesis meta-analysis systematic review guidance development lead trainer.
00:01:46.120So Dr. Alexander worked for the government of Canada as well as an epidemiologist for 12 years, was appointed as the Canadian infield epidemiologist from 2002 to 2004 as part of an international CIDA funded Health Canada executive project.
00:02:05.440So this is an expert of experts, and he's here to talk to us today on vaccines in children.
00:02:13.900He is actually currently an independent academic scientist and COVID-19 consultant researcher.
00:02:20.200He's also informally providing support to some members of the U.S. Congress.
00:03:03.040So, Dr. Alexander, one of the things that is going on right now, obviously, is the rollout of these vaccines to children in many nations.
00:03:11.240We're already getting reports of children being injured by the vaccines, and I'm sure that's going to roll out.
00:03:16.300But with your extensive background, I wanted to ask you, really for the sake of parents, what's your take on whether parents should allow their children to get these vaccines?
00:03:28.200I think that's the question of the moment and probably the most important question right now, societally.
00:03:35.920I think this becomes a risk management decision for parents.
00:03:41.140And like everything in life, we have to approach things from looking at it from the point of view, what are the benefits versus what are the downsides or risks?
00:03:52.360And when you look at the science today and the data and the evidence, overall, these vaccines bring no benefit to children because they bring near statistical zero risk to the table and only skews towards harms.
00:04:17.440We knew about 18 months now from about the end of April, beginning of May, because we were getting data in 2020 that showed stably across the world that children brought near zero risk to the table in terms of becoming infected in the first place.
00:04:35.920Children didn't spread to other children.
00:04:38.400The data also showed us statistical zero risk where children spread to adults.
00:04:42.420The spread is often adult to child from a home cluster.
00:05:09.920We would like to say zero risk, but we say statistical zero risk, near zero.
00:05:13.840And many of the instances where the UK, Canada, United States have reported a child may have died from COVID, the authorities often do not give us the information so that we could clarify whether death was causal or incidental.
00:05:30.620And we have that right now in the United States where Dr. Marty Makari, author of Johns Hopkins, ironed back and forth with CDC openly, a very serious debate where he has requested that they provide the information to show whether the deaths in the United States, where the CDC said some children may have died from COVID, whether they were causal or incidental.
00:05:54.940But he has went further with his research team and looked at the instances, and he's actually reported that in all of the children, there are no instances where any of the children who the CDC said died of COVID was a well child.
00:06:12.520And I'm not saying it in a flippant, easy manner.
00:07:43.980They found of 1.95 million, so 2 million sweet kids, all of them, they found no instances of death, none.
00:07:53.040They even found that the teachers, the teachers in terms of infection or whether they got ill, et cetera, had levels that were even better than the general population or similar profession.
00:08:09.880In other words, we've made the argument always, and I still make it today, that the school remains the safest place for a teacher.
00:08:18.200The median age of teachers in America is 41 or 42.
00:08:23.040Teachers are generally young, and I imagine saving Canada.
00:08:27.360If you have medical conditions or you are concerned about your health, of course, you should exercise the hybrid model or the remote learning model.
00:09:51.480Children get their only meal in the school feeding program in school.
00:09:55.660When we closed schools for over a year, the general cafe latte laptop, elite class, didn't understand.
00:10:05.180The while you could have shifted to remote learning and pods and tutors for your child, because you are a supervisor or manager.
00:10:14.860There were millions of Americans who were hardworking people who could not, their children, starve.
00:10:27.040I want to say it because I know the data.
00:10:30.960They have millions of children went for days with no food in America because you closed schools and nobody thought about it.
00:10:39.960It's exactly one of the places where we have not addressed the case for children from underprivileged homes where they're just, they're just poor.
00:10:51.420They're without what they normally need and what they get at school.
00:10:54.560One of the things that I guess the government pushes or health officials push as a rationale, because I think the news is out there that most kids don't get it.
00:11:18.380The kids sort of need to do it for the rest of the community.
00:11:21.260First of all, that's just sickening all by itself.
00:11:24.720But secondly, can you speak to that rationale?
00:11:27.700Issues of things around physical abuse of children and sexual abuse, and it's a very serious issue, come to the attention of the school first, often.
00:11:38.740By closing schools, hundreds of thousands of children who are abused.
00:11:43.520We had cases in America, I know because I was there, coming up from the States, where parents, husband and wife, were presenting to the emergency room with their child in their arm limp, telling the emergency room doctor that we think we might have killed our child.
00:12:05.240And the child has broken limbs, and they explain to the doctors, we've been laid off over a year, we have no income, we're violently abusing each other now, and we've been beating our children, and we think we harmed this child.
00:12:19.040It's a very serious issue, what we did people with these lockdowns and school closures.
00:12:58.600That is a bogus, misleading statement to parents, to scare them into vaccinating children.
00:13:06.540There's no science to show this, none.
00:13:08.940And the reality about it is that we know, we know, that from an epidemiological point of view, we have this study out of the French Alps by Danis et al.
00:13:23.940They looked at a child who was positive, tested positive, and that child moved on to three different schools.
00:13:32.180Just a perfect example, the media will not discuss this study that I'm talking about, nor any politician, or bureaucrat, or technocrat, nor Dr. Fauci.
00:14:33.780They're just blinded to it because of their biases and prejudices.
00:14:37.540They just don't want to believe that the science is showing whatever they're advocating for is just absurd and illogical.
00:14:45.740Now, I wanted to go beyond this, so I looked at the data and I did some research to say, well, you know, the epidemiology is showing us that children don't spread it to take it home.
00:15:02.520So when I looked at the science, I found there was this seminal research published in the Journal of American Medical Association by Patel, Patel et al.
00:15:13.340And what they did was they did a very ingenious piece of science.
00:15:17.580They decided they're going to measure the ACE2 receptor levels across the body, and particularly in the nostril, nasopharyngeal passage, where virus, respiratory virus lines for the first time, including SARS-CoV-2.
00:15:31.080When you get exposed and someone passes something to you, it lands in the nostrils here and hangs around.
00:15:38.160Hangs around in the upper rest, which is tracked about three to four days before, if there's no capacity to put it down, then it migrates further deeper into the lung.
00:15:48.000Now, what they found was startling and helped give us partly the reason why children are spread, are spared.
00:15:55.280The ACE2 receptor is that molecule that sits on the outer surface of epithelial cells in the respiratory tract, epithelial means cells that line the outer surface, and the endothelial cells of the vasculature, endothelial cells of the cells that line the inner lining of your blood vessels, arteries, veins, capillaries.
00:16:16.940The ACE2 receptor is very important physiologically as a human being to support life.
00:16:24.900It's very important in fluid balance and blood pressure control.
00:16:48.520Turns out that the SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses that have the spike on the ball of the virus, that virus, I'm not going into whether it's intentional, man-made, this is just an evolutionary adaptation, whatever.
00:17:04.160The virus, the coronavirus, uses that spike to bind.
00:17:23.440But turns out that that ACE2 receptor is expressed or exists at a far less level in the nasopharyngeal nostrils of children, young children.
00:17:35.360And it gets at a higher level as you get older, age-graduated.
00:17:40.200That began to explain why children do not get infected readily in the first place or even go on to get severely ill.
00:17:49.360It's because they lack molecular apparatus to allow it.
00:17:53.380But the news media wouldn't discuss this.
00:17:55.940Dr. Tam or Dr. New wouldn't discuss this because it would make sense to parents.
00:18:00.200I also found research by Wang et al showed that children's blood, their collected blood pre-COVID, and they looked at the blood and found B-cell activity in the blood.
00:18:11.660Long-term, long-term memory, immunological memory due to prior exposure to common colds.
00:18:18.700Remember, children experience three to four to five common colds a year, including adults.
00:18:23.660When we get exposed to a common cold, most likely that's a coronavirus common cold.
00:18:30.340And our bodies build immunity to those, our immune system.
00:18:35.120And we have found remarkably that the immune response to common colds, coronaviruses, which are very benign, no problem,
00:18:45.220they provide us a level of protection against SARS-CoV-2.
00:18:48.800And again, the media wouldn't cover it, and Dr. New and Dr. Tam wouldn't tell the public this.
