Required annual school vax for Covid-19 “on the table,” Levine says
by Guy Page
Health Commissioner Mark Levine and Gov. Phil Scott both said today they don’t know whether any Americans have died due to a reaction to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
Vermont Daily Chronicle asked at today’s press conference: “The CDC website seems silent on this subject – have there been any vaccine reaction deaths to the Pfizer vaccine, either in Vermont or the U.S.?
“I’m not aware of any in Vermont,” Scott said. “I’m not aware of the U.S.” Levine echoed Scott: “I’m not aware of any in Vermont, and I’m hesitant to speak to the whole country.”
It’s an important question as Vermont ponders requiring an annual Covid-19 vaccine, as discussed at today’s press conference (see below). The CDC website says the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports 12,122 ‘preliminary reports of death’ due to vaccine reaction. It also adds this disclaimer: “Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.” Although saying “CDC and FDA clinicians review reports of death to VAERS including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records,” it offers no results of its investigations.
Gov. Scott began his weekly pandemic press briefing by quickly saying everything continues to go well on the pandemic front. He then promptly pivoted to an unrelated subject: his plan to spend federal money to connect all Vermonters to the internet and cell phone service.
This week’s case numbers bear out his optimism about Covid-19 illness right now:
Cases have decreased 41% over the last 7 days, and decreased 65% over the last 14 days. Vermont COVID-19 cases are expected to continue to decline in the coming weeks, consistent with improving case trends in Vermont, the Northeast and the U.S.
Declines in Covid deaths are expected over the next four weeks.
New hospital admissions have decreased 14% over the past week.
ICU beds used for Covid are down 17% over the past week.
The Health Dept. again listed no specific death or hospitalization totals among Vermont’s unvaccinated, but (again) compared them unfavorably to results among the more vaccinated. It also cited national data that case rates among unvaccinated adults were 5x higher compared to those with a booster.
“We haven’t reported under 400 cases since mid-December, that puts us back to pre-Omicron levels,” Commissioner of Financial Regulation Michael Pieciak said. “Those declines are real.” Even longterm care homes are seeing lower case numbers, he said.
School mask decision due Feb. 28 – The Vermont Agency of Education will update its direction on mandatory school masking on Feb. 28. “If these numbers continue, we will….look at the numbers and decide the path forward,” Scott said.
However, Scott – never a strong believer in mask mandates – left no doubt how he’s leaning. He told a story about a little Vermont girl who has ”never been to school without a mask on. She told her mother, ‘you know, Mom, I don’t mind wearing the mask, but I don’t know what my friends look like.’ And I thought, ‘how sad is that, they’ve been to school for two years and they don’t know what their classmates look like.’”
Noting the state’s high school vaccination numbers, Scott said, “We are more prepared than any state in the union to make this move.”
Going forward, Scott added that he believes a regular vaccination against Covid-19 will be likely.
Health Commissioner Mark Levine was asked by VPR reporter Colin Flanders if the slowing vaccination rate complicates plans for Vermont’s transition to post-pandemic life. “There is only so much arm-twisting one can do,” Levine said. Vermont’s success is due to access. Many states don’t actively help citizens get vaccinated, but “we have remained involved,” he said.
“I can’t say that the state with the best booster rate” would see anything “interfere with our going forward,” Levine said.
Levine was asked whether annual Covid-19 vaccination will be required of all school children. “That would be the question on the table,” he said. “At the present I don’t feel it’s something we need to think about, today.” Vermont needs to see how the vaccines perform, and what students need, he said.
The CDC is allowing states to pre-order emergency use authorized vaccines for children as young as six months, should they become necessary, Levine added.
Voluntary “assurance” testing for school staff – Due to high school vaccination rates, “our schools have reached more stability in their operations,” French said. The agency is developing a voluntary “assurance testing program” for school staff, offering them two antigen tests per week.Prop 5 passage comment – Asked by a reporter for his opinion on today’s House passage of Prop 5, the constitutional amendment to allow unrestricted abortion, Scott signaled his approval. “I’ve been supportive of that,” Scott said. It now goes to the voters, he said.

Disgusting. All of it.
They should be hung for their crimes against humanity.
If this Governor and Mr. Levine ever read data coming out of other countries, showing thousands of deaths from these vaccines, maybe they would take off their blinders and tear themselves away from their narrow focus of following the Fauci ‘fake’ science. I am very disgusted with these people who aren’t curious as to why people don’t want the toxic jabs! They certainly are NOT leaders!
Curious that Pfizer wanted to hide the data from their limited testing for 75 years! What does that tell you? Luckily they must reveal the results within the next several months. The people will then see the damage caused and covered up by big Pharma. Lawsuits are already being drawn up for these people who have deceived the population.
it is hard to believe that the Gov and Mr. Levine are so tone deaf that they don’t hear the millions of parents of vax injured children (or those whose children died) challenging the establishment. I guess they don’t actually care about anything but kow-towing to the narrative in order to maintain their positions. Absolutely shameful!
They are both “Not Aware” of any cases in the US!!! What?! They are either hiding under a rock or lying. What’s the definition of a “Case” from tests which show false positives? What does it really mean to be “Positive”? The People know the Truth. The Truth has come out in a Big Way and the ones involved in Crimes against Humanity will be prosecuted. Their only choice is to Come Clean Now or be Prosecuted.
Liberty is from God not man.
Re: “Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.”
Okay. Does that mean favorable reports ‘do not necessarily mean that a vaccine worked’?
These two are in serious trouble, for facilitating such evil against humanity!
OUT of Touch and you may wonder why they want to outlaw guns in a heath care building
This is a virulent disease that infects many and is fatal to some. So is the flu.
OK those of you with functioning paper printers should now begin to print out copies of all the information “out there” on Vax injuries and deaths……THEN LET US GATHER THE TRUCKLOADS OF MATERIAL TOGETHER AND BURY THESE 2 LIARS IN THAT ENORMOUS PILE OF EVIDENCE…in the statehouse in front of many many cameras..This is OUTRAGIOUS and totally UNBELIEVABLE that these so-called men nd leaders are “UNAWARE” of the deaths and injuries they have caused us and are responsible for.
Totally unbelievable…….so charge them with “attempted murder” as well as the actual murder of
Vermonters.
Ask them why VAERS is showing a 10,000% increase in post-vax fatalities over any previous year. Ask them why there have been more reports of post-vax deaths than in the entire 31-year history of that database for ALL VACCINES COMBINED. Press them and then press them some more.
Idea: they are lying.
And instead of just ending masks at schools for the poor kids, Scott is toying with the idea of only doing so if schools hit 80% vax rates!! So he’d do anything to get these toxic jabs that don’t even prevent Covid into the bodies of even more children. I have to believe that those who have foisted this on us will have to answer for it someday.

How is it even possible that the HEALTH commissioner knows nothing about the Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System(VAERS) ?????
http://www.openvaers.com
I got my 2nd Pfizer shot 5 days after I found out I had kidney cancer. After my first (and only) immunotherapy treatment for it a month later, I ended up in UVM Med Ctr for 16 days due Guillain-Barre syndrome (Look it up. Not cool) followed by weeks of physical therapy to help me stand, walk, drive and write again. Anyone I asked about the connection between the vax and my bad reaction to the first cancer treatment couldn’t say if they were connected, so I can only suspect. The maddening part is, I’ll probably never know for sure.

First of all you’re under no obligation to answer this I personally would find this to be an intrusive question but I feel that in the place we are in it warrants open discussion since it happens so little.
Are you aware of a VAERS Number for your particular case?
I asked this because in the FDA’S own video at the time 2 hrs 33 mins and 40 seconds they skip a slide that shows Gillion Barre syndrome at the top of the list of side effects for the vaccine:
https://youtu.be/1XTiL9rUpkg
In order to see this you have to play it at a quarter speed (.25x) which means you have to hit the little gear icon that is the settings button to slow down the YouTube video in a setting called ‘playback speed’ so that you can pause it and be able to read it. Like I said they flipped by this slide on a YouTube video to the public while everyone’s locked down.
You can see that Gillion Barre syndrome is actually at the top symptoms of the vaccine.
I looked at the video and there it was! I took a screenshot. Good to have on hand. My oncologist officially blames the immunotherapy drugs for my reaction and only says “it’s possible” when I’ve asked if there is a connection.
My, won’t the teacher’s union howl at the indignity of teaching children without masks…
Most teachers will probably be grateful, but the Union? Perhaps it is a bargaining position for a pay increase and better health benefits…
As this now endemic virus winds down, we must be vigilant that the political opportunists are wound down and voted out of office as well.
Gov. Scott is using our compassion against us. This is very disingenuous He states that he is torn emotionally by school kids not knowing what their classmates look like because of the mask mandate. And then he pulls the Bait and Switch. We can pass a law that requires all children to get Covid vaccines and boosters every year and that will solve this little girl’s predicament of not knowing what her classmates look like. I’m sorry but this is what gives politicians a bad name. He is taking our next generation from the frying pan and forcing them into the fire. This manipulation is despicable. What do you think?? Am I the only one?
It’s all one big psychological operation a.k.a. ‘psyop’. Klaus Schaub trained a lot of these aspirants; brought them up through the ranks starting in the early 90’s. Trudeau is a perfect example. He will never answer a question/very dodgy dude.
In the category of what to believe and not believe: this morning, 2-9-2022, Geoff Brumfiel, a senior editor and correspondent on NPR’s science desk, broadcast a report that claimed, UNEQUIVOCALLY, that Ivermectin does not work as a treatment for Covid and recommended that doctors prescribing it have their license to practice medicine ‘investigated’.
Even the National Institutes for Health (NIH) reports on two of its web sites this morning, “There is insufficient evidence for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.” I repeat, “for or against”. And in another NIH randomized control trial, it was found that “A five-day course of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 may reduce the duration of illness”.
And yet National Public Radio chose to broadcast this report, making no mention of these National Institutes for Health studies.
If there is anything that comes of this pandemic/epidemic, it should be that we remember what people, especially those in authority, say they know and don’t know. Because, clearly, some are not telling the truth. And I suspect we’re going to hear a lot more ‘I’m unaware’ equivocations in the coming weeks and months.
I’m not going to come to a verdict at this time, because, according to National Public Radio at least, the jury is still out on Ivermectin. But Mr. NPR senior science editor Geoff Brumfiel, I know who you are an what you’ve broadcast.
Wow.
Does ignorance count when you get stopped for speeding (I didn’t see the sign)?
Did ignorance count in Nuremberg for the camp guards?
Did ignorance count in the garden of Eden when Adam blamed Eve for corrupting him with knowledge of good and evil, to God? (A lesson man STILL has not learned apparently)
HOW the fekk can the State’s two ‘most informed’ leaders, or is this a case of ‘hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil’?
Does that work in the International Criminal Court that “(tries) individuals for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression”?
They should all be fired if they are not MORE informed than you and I are. With the truth.
If they continue to push ‘its good for you’ – you KNOW they work for Mammon, and Marduk is pulling the strings. That is the work of evil, the work of the Devil.
Right now, all our state officials are working hand in hand with Satan implementing child sacrifice to save the adults.
You know who did that?
The Aztecs.
The Babylonians.
Sodom and Gomorreh.
Nearly ALL civilizations reaching their due date hoping to stave off their imminent collapse…from all the errors of their ways, accumulated into a toxic soup of poison, lies, and obfuscation.
But yeah, lets continue to invite the CCP to kill God insitu, and lets invite the Devil in for a talk, and set the table for him.
Oh wait…Comrades Tierney, Levin, Scott and Overlord Fauci are all over this…talks ensuing.
Welcome to the killing fields of Chinarmont in the biggest child sacrifice and genocide agenda the world has ever known …in ALL our history.
I had high hopes for the Pfizer vaccine.
