Scotland's vaccine injured community say they have been abandoned by the
country's governments and have been left trying to pick up the pieces of
their lives by themselves. The Scottish Vaccine Injury Group says many
of its 150 members have felt suicidal at the lack of support, with
medical professionals dismisive of their concerns.

The Covid vaccine roll out from the end of 2020 was one of the biggest
logistical undertakings in British history. Public health bodies have
estimated the jags have saved tens of thousands of lives over the past
two and half years.


But a growing number of people are now coming forward with their stories
of having adverse reactions to the vaccine. At least nine deaths in
Scotland have been attributed to the Covid vaccines and many others are
trying to put their lives together after suffering serious injury.

The Scottish Vaccine Injury Group has been set up to provide support for
those who have suffered adverse reactions to the jags. Central to the
group's work are Ruth O'Rafferty, 54, Alex Mitchell, 58, and John Watt, 37.

They have been granted core participant status in the Scottish Covid
inquiry but say they have been routinely dismissed as cranks by the
authorities. All have been handed various bans on social media for
sharing their stories but the group is continuing to grow and it
recently held an event in Glasgow city centre to raise awareness.

The leadership trio, who say many of those seeking help have had
suicidal thoughts, believe their group is now picking up the slack from
government failures and have accused doctors of not taking their
concerns seriously.

Alex, who had to have a leg amputated because of his reaction, says he
knows of nine people who have taken their lives due to their injuries,
saying: "They've had enough of the gaslighting the pain, the fact that
nobody's listening to them and the whole world was turned against them."

Ruth adds: "We are offering support to people who are desperate. I was
speaking to somebody just last week who was admitting that they were
really, really desperate. And they're in their bed. They have been in
their bed for about 18 months. And because they don't have long Covid
They don't have access to the Long Covid clinics.

"They live alone so they're living in isolation, housebound, bedbound.
They can't actually even form sentences... so they can't advocate for
themselves. They're not getting any medical help because they said that
they thought it was a vaccine."

Alex became the first person in the UK to be awarded the full £120,000
vaccine damage payment from the UK Government after he lost his leg in
April 2021. He took his first dose on March 20, 2021 but after
experiencing calf pain, he was taken to hospital where he went into a
surgery he "wasn't expected to survive".

A scaffolder by trade from Glasgow, Alex was eventually diagnosed with
vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia which causes blood
clots. He is now on a range of medication for life, has suffered brain
damage and has eyesight issues. He is part of a lawsuit against
AstraZenenca.

He can no longer work and is relying on benefits. He says: "This is my
life: coming to visit people that are vaccine injured and bereaved and
trying to raise awareness. I don't have a life.

"They took everything from me. That's my life. I can't walk. I'll never
walk again. I've got brain damage, which is a real problem for somebody
who loves reading. I wasn't always a scaffolder, I was a business
manager so I really struggle mentally with a brain fog. So it's a real
struggle."

Ruth had taken two doses of the vaccine when she started suffering
"anaphylactic episodes" in late June 2021. She was eventually found to
be suffering from mast cell activation syndrome, which causes similar
symptoms to anaphylaxis. She also suffers from dysautonomia, which
impacts the nervous system, brain inflammation and hormonal imbalance.

A former teacher from South Lanarkshire, Ruth can no longer drive and
her husband refuses to be away from her for any major length of time due
to her condition. She had to go private to get a diagnosis and says she
hit several brick walls as she tried to get to the bottom of what was
going on. "Unfortunately, a lot of GPs don't know about it. They don't
know about mast cell activation syndrome, and they certainly don't
recognise that the vaccine causes any damage," she says.

"And a lot of people with heart issues are getting gaslit and told 'och,
it's only it's anxiety'. And honestly, we've got people in the group who
are waiting up to two years to see a specialist."

All three are dismissive of the 'anti-vax' label that has been applied
by some to the group. They all point out that they willingly received
their jag the first time around and had received vaccinations before Covid.

John, who was a joiner before falling ill, says he "doesn't entertain
it," while Alex adds: "I'll never tell you what to do. You're an adult,
go and do your research and make your own decision.

"I'll will stand beside you whether you decide never to take anything
again or take every one of them. That's your decision. That's democracy.
Children is a different story. There's no reason scientific or medical
for children to be given these."

John's story actually begins before the Covid lockdown In February 2020
when he suffered a suspected heart attack and was fitted with a stent.
After a "year of hell" he managed to get his life back in order but
struggled to find anyone who suffered similar symptoms of a heart attack.

It is now believed has was suffering from Long Covid. After his third
booster jag - a Pfizer - in November 2021, John, who is from Glasgow,
started to suffer a range of symptoms, around 40 in total including
rapid heart rate, speech impairment, dizziness, nausea and fatigue.

through

He was throwing up "every day", lost 13kg in weight in just a few weeks
and his heart rate would go through the roof just with the effort of
standing up. He spent a year "bedridden" and "thought I was going to
die". Again, he had to go through a private doctor before he was
diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and
believes he was subject to "gaslighting and ignorance" from the NHS and
no longer trusts many medical professionals.

John, who wears sunglasses during our chat because of sensitive eyes,
spent £37,000 on treatment but today is still nowhere near back to the
health he enjoyed before 2020. "I cannot predict what tomorrow brings
for my body and what happens every day. I can't plan anything," he says.

"The other day I had a bit of chocolate. You would think I would out
drinking for a week the way it reacted with me. My stomach was an
absolute pain. For three hours I was in absolute agony."

On his journey as a whole, he explains: "Ruth came and visited me on my
deathbed. Alex came and visited me on my deathbed, my family had been
traumatised, I've been extremely traumatised. Where my anger lies and
frustration lies, is that if they left me for that long, how many others
have they left for that long?"

The trio say they have suffered from "censorship" online for sharing
their views and reckon politicians have no interest in helping them
because of the effort that went in to publicise the vaccine programme.
In fact, John revealed he had been blocked on Twitter by Nicola Sturgeon
when he invited her to their recent rally in Glasgow. But the potential
harms from the jag have started to enter the mainstream media after the
death of BBC presenter Lisa Shaw.

The 44-year-old died from the same condition that took Alex's leg in
2021 and her family is suing AstraZeneca having also accused the UK
Government of brushing them off. According to the UK Health Security
Agency, nearly 700 vaccine injuries have been reported in Scotland
through its Yellow Card scheme.

And the National Records of Scotland say nine deaths have been directly
attributed to the Covid vaccine with a further four having adverse
reactions mentioned on the death certificate. Up until the end of last
year, 60 deaths in England and Wales had been attributed to the Covid
vaccine.

Ruth, Alex and John's group has allowed vaccine injured and bereaved
from across Scotland come together to share their stories and point each
other in the direction of what support they can access, as well as
discussing possible treatment options.

Asked what he wants achieve through the group, John says they want to be
"taken seriously" by doctors, adding: "We need the doctors to stand up,
we need mental health support, we need financial support. And these
people, they need help because I'm telling you right now, the stories
that we're seeing daily is heartbreaking."

Both Ruth and Alex again emphasise their desire to prevent children
receiving the vaccine. Ruth said: "We're not anti-vax. Yes, the risk of
Covid to children is there, it is real, but I honestly believe that the
risk of harms from these vaccines are so life changing - I'm not sure
that any of us will ever actually get our health back - And I don't want
that to happen to children."

The UK Government said: "All vaccines used in the UK must go through the
usual rigorous testing and development process and meet strict standards
of safety, quality and effectiveness by the independent medicines
regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JULY 11: A pharmacist prepares a COVID-19

to receive a fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, after the Australian
Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) approved people aged 30
and above can access additional booster shots from Monday 11 July. While
over 30s are now eligible for an additional dose if they choose, health
authorities are strongly urging people over 50 to get the fourth
COVID-19 vaccine booster and for people to wear masks indoors in public
as coronavirus infections continue driven by Omicron subvariants. (Photo

"The public should be very confident that all tests are completed to the
highest of standards. The monitoring of vaccine safety does not stop
once a vaccine has been approved - the safety continues to be monitored
continually using well developed and pre-existing surveillance networks,
such as MHRA's Yellow Card scheme."

And Holyrood's Public Health Minister Jenni Minto said: "Like any
vaccine, Covid-19 vaccines can cause side effects, most of which are
mild or moderate. Serious or long-lasting side effects are rare, but
possible. These side effects need to be continuously balanced against
the expected benefits in preventing illness.


"I understand the issues some are experiencing and my sympathy goes to
all those affected. It is important that health boards take these issues
seriously, and support patients in their management and recovery of
their symptoms.

"Vaccines are continually monitored to detect adverse events, and public
health bodies in Scotland and across the globe are closely monitoring
for any unexpected side effects following Covid-19 vaccination."

In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use
Apostle Paul's secret (http://bit.ly/Philippians4_12 ). Though masking
is less protective, it helps us avoid the appearance of doing the evil
of spreading airborne pathogens while there are people getting sick
because of not being 100% protected. It is written that we're to
"abstain from **all** appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22
w/**emphasis**).

Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8) way to eradicate the
COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the US & elsewhere is by
rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) finding out at any given
moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
http://WDJW.great-site.net/ConvinceItForward (John 15:12) for them to
call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of
stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the best while
preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations
and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu &
Delta lineage mutations combining via slip-RNA-replication to form
hybrids like http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current
COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.

Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?
