Wendy Bell's Biggest Lies of 2021

We see that Wendy Bell has posted her list of the biggest lies of 2021.


In response, I'd like to post my list of Wendy's biggest lies of 2021.

I counted (yes, I did) and found that out of the 246 blogposts this year, 102 of them had Wendy's name in the title.

She tended to lie on a small number of health topics - but she lied a repeatedly on each.

For example:

VAERS

VAERS stands for "Vaccine Adverse Reporting System" and is, according to its website, "a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines." It collects reports of adverse reactions people may have to any vaccine they may have taken. Again according to its website:

VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine.[Emphasis added.]

And this is where Wendy repeatedly gets into trouble. What Wendy does is to cite VAERS data as solid evidence for the supposed danger of the Covid vaccines. She carefully omits the Disclaimer the CDC/FDA has put in place. It reads in part:

While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.

Something Wendy never, ever, does. 

For instance:

IVERMECTIN IN INDIA

This is what the CDC has to say about the use of Ivermectin to treat Covid:

Ivermectin is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved prescription medication used to treat certain infections caused by internal and external parasites. When used as prescribed for approved indications, it is generally safe and well tolerated.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, ivermectin dispensing by retail pharmacies has increased, as has use of veterinary formulations available over the counter but not intended for human use. FDA has cautioned about the potential risks of use for prevention or treatment of COVID-19.

Ivermectin is not authorized or approved by FDA for prevention or treatment of COVID-19. The National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel has also determined that there are currently insufficient data to recommend ivermectin for treatment of COVID-19.

And yet, non expert Wendy Bell touted its use repeatedly this year. Her supporting "data" is from the Uttar Pradesh in India. Too bad the medical authorities in India have removed Ivermectin from their list of approved drugs to treat Covid-19.

Why?

This is why:

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Task Force on Covid-19 have dropped the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) drugs from their revised guidelines for the treatment of the infection.

The decision was taken after experts found that these drugs have little to no effect on Covid-related mortality or clinical recovery of the patient.

Will Wendy Bell be telling her adorings of this? She spread the Ivermectin story many times:

I could keep going but the thought of spending one more minute on this project pains me to no end.

The sad sad part of this story is that despite all of the above, Wendy Bell, who spreads medical misinformation to her adoring fan base, putting them at greater risk for hospitalization and dying, will be continuing it all next year.

Maybe, if I am lucky, I will have caught someone with the truth before they started believing Wendy's misinformation. 

Maybe. If I am lucky.

In the meantime, Wendy Bell is The Angel of Death.
