The Tennessee Conservative [By David Seal] –

First in a Series of Reports

Bernadette Pajer is asking the Tennessee Department of Health a set of critically important safety questions concerning the trifecta of vaccines that are being injected into the bodies of Tennessee citizens. RSV, Influenza, and Covid-19 immunizations are now routinely administered in one office visit at the urging of the Tennessee Department of Health.

Pajer, the Tennessee Director of Stand for Health Freedom, has put Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, Health Commissioner Dr. Ralph Alvarado, the Tennessee General Assembly, and the news media on notice of her questions and concerns about the co-administration of certain vaccines. The full text of Pajer’s letter is linked here. 

Tennesseans are waiting for their state government to respond with answers.

Stand for Health Freedom is asking for specific answers to questions on the co-administering of RSV, COVID-19, and influenza products to babies, pregnant women, the elderly, and others, the size and scope of clinical trials, a summary of adverse reactions that have been reported, a list of states that no longer recommend the Covid-19 injections for certain demographics, and guidance for reporting adverse reactions and filing for compensation for injuries or death due to co-administration of RSV, Influenza, and Covid-19 vaccines.

Caitlin Newhouse, MD MPH, Medical Director, Vaccine-Preventable Diseases & Immunization Program, Tennessee Department of Health provided guidance to medical practitioners and Tennessee Health Departments across the state. A link to the full text of those recommendations is provided here.

In part, the Tennessee Department of Health recommendations state as follows, “your recommendations to patients regarding preventive products and vaccines are critical. The Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) encourages providers to co-administer vaccines for eligible and interested patients, including RSV, COVID-19, and influenza. Please find an attached resource on available vaccines and tools to reduce the risk of respiratory viruses.”

Stand for Health Freedom is not the only organization that is calling for answers in the wake of blanket recommendations made for co-administration of vaccines. Tennessee Stands is a major citizen action group headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee that calls the pushing of vaccines by the CDC and Tennessee Department of Health at taxpayer expense “immoral” and “evil.” 

“Your own state government, under the direction of Governor Bill Lee and his health department, is using your tax dollars to push healthcare providers into administering all (3) of these shots AT THE SAME TIME, including pregnant women and children as young as 6 months old. Considering this same push from the CDC for almost a year now and the history of our current Commissioner of Health, Dr. Ralph Alvarado, none of this is really surprising. What our government is doing with our own tax dollars concerning this vaccine push is evil. It is immoral. And I hope you will join us at Tennessee Stands as we fight back.” – said Gary Humble, Tennessee Stands

Readers of this article are urged to visit the links provided in the preceding paragraph for background information on Tennessee’s Commissioner of Health Dr. Ralph Alvarado and the Centers for Disease Control. Tennessee Stands questions the motives of both in its criticism of recommendations for co-administration of vaccines to infants and other demographics. 

Tennessee Stands produced an expose on Commissioner Alvarado that included background on his role as a Kentucky state senator before becoming the Tennessee Commissioner of Health, highlighting a bill by Alvarado that would limit citizens’ ability to seek court relief for medical claims.

The expose states in part, “Alvarado was first elected to the Kentucky State Senate in 2014. In 2016, Alvarado sponsored SB 6 to institute a new process for individuals to file medical claims via medical review panels. The bill passed and essentially violated the constitutional rights of individuals because it delayed their access to the courts. A lawsuit was filed and in 2018 and the Kentucky Supreme Court struck down the law” 

Subsequent reports will address the concerns of medical practitioners, examine the cumbersome process of seeking relief in court for vaccine injury, and feature any responses made by officials of the Tennessee government on this issue.
