Scientific Studies (list)
This post mainly consists of scientific studies (both peer reviewed and preprints) and medical journal articles. I also included a couple reports based on governmental databases and one think tank article. These studies support many of my assertions in previous Substack posts. I began bookmarking them in early 2022, though I’ve surely missed a great many others, meaning this is not a comprehensive list. That said, it’s long enough to give weight and credence to most of my previous “KC’s Covid Facts” articles.
Specifically the studies listed below correlate with the following posts:
Vaccine Injury (these studies will be listed in a separate/consecutive post)
Each of the studies below are followed by at least one supporting article explaining its findings in layman’s terms. All accompanying articles are written by experts in their field, including scientific researchers, professors, data analysts, PhDs, MDs and other medical professionals. (Some accompanying articles are under a paywall, for which I apologize, however I’m happy to email my readers free versions of any linked articles upon request.)
In rare cases a study’s conclusions seem to support the false government/Pharma narrative (e.g., “C19 vaccines are safe & effective” or “lockdowns worked well and were a stellar idea”) yet are not supported by the study results. In those cases the attached articles are vital accompaniments, in which the authors took enough care reviewing the study to be able to explain why those false conclusions are wrong. In most of those cases the study was funded by Big Pharma and designed to fail or otherwise fraudulently skewed to produce the exact result Pharma needed to continue pushing their agenda. That’s why it’s important to not just read the study itself but also the accompanying article(s).
I’m not a scientific researcher, data analyst, or medical professional. Neither are most of my readers. However I, and presumably they/you, are fully intellectually capable of reading and understanding the attached articles that breakdown the scientific studies in layman’s terms.
Please use this post as a resource to backup your own arguments with uninformed acquaintances who continue to believe and perpetuate the false government/Pharma narrative. Below you’ll find excellent arguments to false narratives such as:
the C19 virus came from a Chinese wet market (versus gain-of-function research done in a sloppy, badly secured Wuhan lab)
masks, lockdowns, and mandates worked
vitamin D, HCQ, and ivermectin (and other available effective treatments) didn’t exist or were useless
the FDA & CDC aren’t utterly captured by Big Pharma
Pfizer & Moderna did adequate safety testing
C19 “vaccines” aren’t injuring and killing people all over the world
and more
No one wants to believe they’ve fallen for the biggest psyop in the history of mankind. You will meet resistance sharing this information. Share it anyway. In fact, shove this actual science in as many faces as you can in the hopes that you open one mind someday. That one or more persons will be inspired to use their critical thinking skills the next time they try to take our freedoms away.
Please note, as with all my Substack posts I add new information weekly as it comes in. Consider this a living document and check back regularly for the latest scientific studies, complete with supplementary, expert-written articles.
