Louisiana nurse blows the whistle: “We are sacrificing our children for fear of maybe dying of a virus with a 99% survival rate”

By · January 2, 2022 · 2 min read

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Collette Martin, a practicing nurse of seventeen years, spoke at a Louisiana Health & Welfare hearing earlier this month about what she has seen in the hospital system during the COVID pandemic.

Collette says she and her colleagues have witnessed “terrifying” reactions to the COVID shots, but their concerns about the vaccines are being ignored and dismissed.

Collete went on to say that vaccine-injury report databases like VAERS are so little used that most doctors and nurses don’t even know that it exists, let alone how to file a report.

“The Majority of our nurses, nurse managers, and some doctors do not even know what VAERS is. I’ve spoken to our chief medicine managers and other nurses on why we’re not reporting to VAERS, and the most common response is: “What is VAERS?”

As if this were not bad enough already, she then said that none of the hospitals are reporting any data, meaning that even if someone were investigating, there would be no data to investigate.

“This is not just where I work. I know many nurses, friends, and other local hospitals in Southeast Louisiana that say the same thing.”

However, what she says about the potential long-term effects of the jabs is shocking.

“We are not just seeing severe acute [short term] reactions with this vaccine, but we have zero ideas what any long term reactions are. Cancers, autoimmune [disorders], infertility. We just don’t know.”

“We are potentially sacrificing our children for fear of maybe dying, getting sick of a virus, a virus with a 99% survival rate.”

Collete concludes by saying that these vaccine side-effects are being covered up as caused by the new variant.

“As of now, we have more children that died from the COVID vaccine than COVID itself. And then for the Health Department to come out and say the new variant has all the side effects of the vaccine reactions we’re currently seeing now.

It’s maddening, and I don’t understand why more people don’t see it. I think they do, but they fear speaking out and, even worse, being fired.”

SHOCKING VAERS DATA

VAERS data released December 17 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) included a total of 965,843 adverse event reports in all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 20,244 deaths and 155,506 serious injuries between December 14, 2020, and December 10, 2021.

U.S. VAERS data  for children aged 5 to 11 years show:

The second death (VAERS ID 1890705 ) occurred in a 5-year-old girl who died four days after her first Pfizer injection.
