“But I Had No Choice”

Yes, you did. And you still do.

At a conference I emceed this weekend, two attendees mentioned that they received the COVID-19 vaccines even though they didn’t want to. Peter Gøtzsche, Ph.D., was one of them, and he shared his story publicly. Gøtzsche is a renowned Danish physician and researcher whose scientific studies have been cited over 150,000 times.

He said his wife was so sick after her first AstraZeneca injection that she missed nearly two weeks of work. She felt as bad as she has ever felt in her life. Four or five days after she got the vaccine, both Gøtzsche and his adult daughter saw that she was slurring her words and answering questions more slowly than usual.

“She was slow cerebrated,” he said. “We both noticed it.”

What’s more, her thirteen other colleagues who all got the shot the same day Gøtzsche’s wife did, also went out on sick leave.

N=14.

This experience—along with Gøtzsche’s own research into the data from the initial trials of the different coronavirus vaccines—made him extremely reluctant to get the shots.
