Join us in this episode featuring Marc Girardot, author of The Needle's Secret: Unraveling the Mystery of Vaccine Harm and the Bolus Theory Revolution. Girardot's unique background as a business consultant, where he applied scientific methods and problem-solving skills to business challenges, and his experience in the biotech industry make him a compelling voice on the topic of vaccine harm.
When COVID-19 emerged, Girardot noticed alarming inconsistencies that piqued his curiosity, prompting him to dive deeply into research. His initial concern centered around the virus's rapid spread and the corresponding death toll, which seemed incongruous. This discrepancy led Girardot to investigate further, uncovering startling revelations about the pandemic and vaccine responses.
Press play to explore the following:
The essence of Girardot's 'bolus' theory of vaccines The reasons behind varying reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine Differences between the body's response to natural viral infections and vaccine-induced immunity Insights from autopsies of individuals who died post-vaccination The two primary mechanisms of harm attributed to the COVID-19 vaccine Don't miss this eye-opening discussion. Press play now to uncover these insights and more!
For an in-depth exploration, read Girardot's book, The Needle's Secret: Unraveling the Mystery of Vaccine Harm and the Bolus Theory Revolution.
