article Analyzing 23000+ epitopes covering 82 autoimmune diseases in the Immune Epitope Database,
57% have only one and 78% have up to two amino acid residue differences compared to
animal, fungal or plant peptides present in vaccines; an unmistakable signature of the
role of vaccines in their etiologies
Vinu Arumugham Jan, 2020 The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) sponsors the Immune
Epitope Data Base (IEDB). IEDB contains epitopes identified from the medical literature
and organized by diseases and categories of diseases. All epitopes (23000+) associated
with 82 autoimmune diseases in humans were analyzed. The role of animal, plant, fungal
proteins contained in vaccines in the etiology of autoimmune diseases have been described
in humans and animals. BLASTP was used to analyze IEDB derived epitopes for sequence
alignment to animal, plant, fungal (APF) proteins present in vaccines and biologics.
letter Comment on Subramanian and Kumar, “Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of
vaccination”
Hal M. Switkay March 13, 2022
This letter is a comment on the recent correspondence of Subramanian and Kumar (Endnote 1)
regarding the relation between rates of new cases of CoVID-19 and rates of vaccination.
This note should strengthen the conclusion of (Endnote 1). In Switkay (Endnote 2), it is
argued that a linear model should not be employed unless the predictor and response
variables are supported on the whole real number line (-∞,∞). If they are not, one should
employ appropriate transformations of the variables before starting a linear analysis.
article Student athletes perform worse than controls following COVID vaccines
Jon Murphy, Colleen Huber January 16, 2022 High school and middle school athletes were observed retrospectively following vaccination
with mRNA COVID vaccines. Of twenty student athletes, half were vaccinated and half were
not, according to their parents’ prior choices. In this study we compare sports
performance of vaccinated versus unvaccinated student athletes doing the same activities.
We also compare the sports performance of vaccinated student athletes with their own
sports performance prior to vaccination. The observed changes post-vaccination can be
helpful to illustrate the cardiovascular changes that occur with COVID vaccination.
article Heart damage from the COVID vaccines: Is it avoidable?
Colleen Huber, NMD July 14, 2021
This paper addresses the question of prevalence of COVID vaccine associated myocarditis,
as well as known mechanisms of spike protein-induced myocarditis, considering the
epidemiological consequences of mass vaccination with spike protein-generating COVID
vaccines, such as are being deployed throughout the world at present. The cardiac impacts
of spike protein distribution have risen to particular concern, due to the recent
extraordinary increase in new cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, including among
populations that typically have vanishingly rare incidence of this disease, especially
young men, with particularly anomalous occurrence in young male athletes.
article COVID-19 Deaths A Look at US Data
Genevieve Briand March 18, 2021
There is emerging and accumulating evidence that US COVID-19 mortality data presented to
the public may be inaccurate. Peculiarities in this reported data include the following:
The mean age of those whose deaths were attributed to COVID-19 is older than the US life
expectancy, and COVID-19 mortality sharply peaked the week of April 11, 2020 in the US,
yet weekly all-cause mortality in the US did not show any significant shift in
distribution of deaths across age groups for any week in 2020. Also, throughout 2020, the
number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 rose, as the sum of deaths attributed to at least
several other causes, compared to prior years, decreased, from no apparent cause, by
similar quantities. Have diagnoses diverged from true causes of death?
article Vermont Mask Survey Of Fall 2020
Amy Hornblas February 10, 2021
The Vermont Mask Survey was created to gather information about the negative health
effects Vermonters are experiencing as a result of wearing masks. The negative health
effects of wearing masks by health care workers has been the subject of many research
studies. (Examples are available for each health effect in the Discussion section.)
However, research on the effects of mandating masks among the general public has only just
begun. This survey is an initial contribution to these efforts. Being a small sample, this
is not a statistical analysis, and more work needs to be done if the magnitude of the
problem is to be fully understood. Data gathered from this survey demonstrates that a
number of Vermonters across the state are suffering multiple health difficulties as a
result of wearing masks.
article Data that disprove the COVID-19 pandemic
Colleen Huber, Boris Borovoy December 19, 2020
A pandemic that calls the attention of the public, and action by the medical field, is one
that raises the total death rate above that of a typical year or season. The COVID-19 era
that began in early 2020 has received continuous and rapt attention in the United States
for deaths that have occurred. Has COVID-19 resulted in more deaths (known as “excess
deaths”) than would have happened in a typical year? An obstacle to answering that
question is that COVID-19 testing is flawed and imprecise, for reasons discussed herein,
and it is difficult to distinguish COVID-19 from other respiratory illnesses, due to
symptoms and signs that are mostly indistinguishable from the common cold, flu or
pneumonia.
article Masks are neither effective nor safe: A summary of the science
Colleen Huber, NMD July 6, 2020
In 2020 there is a surge in use of facemasks in public places, including for extended
periods of time, in the United States as well as in other countries. The public has been
instructed by media and their governments that one’s use of masks, even if not sick, may
prevent others from being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the infectious agent of COVID-19. A
review of the peer-reviewed medical literature examines impacts of masks on human health,
both immunological, as well as physiological. The purpose of this paper is to examine data
regarding the effectiveness of facemasks, as well as safety data. The reason that both are
examined in one paper is that for the general public as a whole, as well as for each
individual, a risk-benefit analysis is necessary to guide decisions on if and when to wear
a mask.
article Lockdowns failed to reduce deaths in the US:
Total deaths declined more, from previous years, in free states than in lockdown states in
spring 2020.
Colleen Huber, NMD June 12, 2020
A control group and an experimental group for a single variable in a scientific experiment
are not often provided by political events. All except six US states instituted lockdowns
in the spring of 2020. This paper compares mortality data from those six states, herein
“free states,” with their immediate neighbors, “locked states,” and with all of the 44
locked states. Five weeks of mortality data during the gradual easing of lockdown in most
US states during the spring of 2020 show a consistent history among those weeks with
regard to the following: Free states had a lower percentage than locked states of total
deaths from all causes in these weeks in 2020, compared to the same weeks for each of the
states in the years 2017 to 2019.

Friable mask particulate and lung vulnerability
Boris Borovoy, Colleen Huber, Q Makeeta September 13, 2020
There is no biological history of mass masking until the current era. It is important to
consider possible outcomes of this society-wide experiment. The consequences to the health
of individuals is as yet unknown. Masked individuals have measurably higher inspiratory
flow than non-masked individuals. This study is of new masks removed from manufacturer
packaging, as well as a laundered cloth mask, examined microscopically. Loose particulate
was seen on each type of mask. Also, tight and loose fibers were seen on each type of
mask. If every foreign particle and every fiber in every facemask is always secure and not
detachable by airflow, then there should be no risk of inhalation of such particles and
fibers.

Microbial challenges from masks
Boris Borovoy, Colleen Huber, Maria Crisler October 9, 2020
Face masks have come into common use in many countries since mid-2020, for all age groups.
Some aspect of this may be voluntary, but certainly much of this use is either accompanied
by force, threats, subtle coercion, or a continuum of subtle to fierce societal pressures
on the individual to conform to mask-wearing. From widespread fear of COVID-19, associated
with the virus named SARS-CoV2, mask-wearing is recently assumed by many to be a prudent
measure against contagion. In this paper, the second in our series, we continue our
examination of the potential hazards of masks, in which we now turn attention to microbial
contamination from masks and mask use, changes in oral and nasal microbiota, and potential
risks to the lungs and other organ systems from microbial factors. Because widespread
masking is a very new society- wide experiment, the impact of this experiment, the
obstruction of airways from free breathing and a typical air exchange interplay with oral
microbiota is not yet known. Furthermore, the effects of such changes in the lungs and
beyond are not yet known.

Hypoxia, hypercapnia and physiological effects
Boris Borovoy, Colleen Huber, Maria Crisler November 2, 2020
Wearing a mask causes physiological changes to multiple organ systems, including the
brain, the heart, the lungs, the kidneys and the immune system. We examine changes in
oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in masked airspace that is available to the
airways over the first 45 seconds of wear. Our findings of reduced oxygen and increased
carbon dioxide in a masked airspace are not inconsistent with previously reported data. We
also consider the range of injuries known to occur to the above-named organ systems in a
state of hypoxia and hypercapnia. As an excretory pathway, carbon dioxide release by cells
throughout the body, and then past the alveoli and then the airways and orifices, has not
been previously challenged by deliberate obstruction in the history of the animal kingdom,
except for relatively rare human experiments. Self-deprivation of oxygen is also unknown
in the animal kingdom, and rarely attempted by humans. We examine the physiological
consequences of this experiment.

Proposed mechanisms by which masks increase risk of COVID-19
Colleen Huber, NMD December 7, 2020
Mask “mandates” in 2020 have resulted in no reductions in incidence of COVID-19, as
detected by positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests among nations or US states.
Increased rates or insignificant change in incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections, as detected
by PCR tests, have followed mask mandates throughout the world and in US states. Masks are
therefore a possible risk factor for infection with SARS-CoV-2 and higher incidence of
COVID-19 disease. This paper examines the known physical and chemical attributes of
respiration through and involving the periphery of and inside of masks that may lead to a
better understanding of the reasons for this phenomenon of increased COVID-19 incidence
following mask use.
