Despite all the crazy, corrupt, deceitful and immoral stuff in the world, there is a lot of sanity, integrity, honesty and morality trying to combat it. It takes money in many cases, such as paying lawyers to file suits, to go to court, or write letters demanding changes be done before any of that happens.
ICAN is the Informed Consent Action Network, and they want people to be in charge of their own lives and make their own decisions. This requires being informed, otherwise you're going to likely be making bad decisions due to the lack of information about a topic or decision. And that is especially important with respect to medical information.
Most people just believe what they are told by authorities. From politicians, to media to doctors, whatever those authorities say is what the reality is. Vaccines don't harm anyone, ever. They are totally safe, at all times, for everyone. But that's not the reality. Yet most people don't know this, because they aren't informed. They are making decisions based on a lack of info.
ICAN has recently targeted Governor Cuomo (yeah that douchebag in NYC) and the NYS Dep’t of Health for spreading false information. In February, they were telling people on Facebook that "No serious side effects related to the vaccines have been reported." This is false. Serious side effects were reported since December.
Yeah, false information like this was not touched by the holy blue-check fact-checkers. Go figure! I thought they go after anything false. I guess when it's the establishment approved falsity, they just leave it alone.
ICAN sent a letter to the NYS Health Commissioner and Governor Cuomo. You can read the whole thing here. They told them it was a false claim, and that it needed to be removed.
As ICAN states:
In the vaccines’ clinical trials, there were serious adverse events that the trial investigators found were not only be “linked” to the vaccines, but in fact related to the COVID-19 vaccines. For Pfizer’s vaccine, these include shoulder injury, ventricular arrhythmia, and lymphadenopathy. For Moderna’s vaccine, these include intractable nausea and vomiting, facial swelling, rheumatoid arthritis, Dyspnea with exertion, peripheral edema, Autonomic dysfunction, and B-cell lymphocytic lymphoma.
Further, post-authorization, there have been numerous serious adverse reactions related to the COVID-19 vaccines. The CDC, for example, has acknowledged that serious vaccine side effects related to the COVID-19 vaccines have been reported, including “[a]naphylaxis, an acute and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.” Additionally, in the approximately two months since these vaccines have been in use, the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (“VAERS”) has received just under 16,000 reports of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination and over 3,000 reports of serious adverse events related to a COVID-19 vaccination through February 12, 2021.
How can these "follow the science" leaders and authorities not know of these facts? Either they suck as their publicly stated jobs (obviously they do, they have other goals than serving people with truth), or they knew and chose to misrepresent the reality.
Well after being told they would be sued if they didn't remove the false information, they took it off Facebook! This is a way to get the overlords in power to stop spreading false information, or maybe even lying, to the public. Without this work to force accurate dissemination of information, that false statement would still be online making people believe in a false reality.
