A panel hosted by Pennsylvania’s Senator Doug Mastriano (R-33) recently heard from several experts and individuals personally affected by the COVID-19 vaccine.
The discussion, centered around the negative impacts of the vaccine, was part of Sen. Mastriano’s push for Senate Bill 693, the Medical Freedom Act.
“Pennsylvanians must have the fundamental right to make decisions about what goes into their own bodies,” Mastriano emphasized.
The proposed act aims to “prohibit state agencies and political subdivisions from mandating COVID-19 vaccinations” and protect Pennsylvanians from “discrimination or the denial of services or medical care based on their refusal to accept a vaccination.”
The panel included testimonies from individuals like Janet Scholotter, a registered nurse from Franklin County who experienced severe side effects from the vaccine.
She lamented, “I’ve had a huge decline in my cognition. It’s a little frightening when you lose your mind when it used to be so sharp.”
Similarly, Alia Capodici, a single mother from Bucks County, described how her adverse reaction to the vaccine drastically altered her life, stating, “Over the course of the next two months, the symptoms progressed to the point where I went from being a full-time employee and an active single mom, to a fully incapacitated adult unable to even care for myself or my four-year-old daughter.”
Experts like cardiologist Peter McCullough, one of America’s most published cardiologists and a critic of the vaccine, also participated in the panel.
McCullough stated that the vaccine had led to “the largest medical – the largest human – disaster in history,” identifying broad categories of health damage resulting from the vaccine such as cardiovascular and heart damage, neurologic or brain damage, blood clots, and immune syndromes.
Dauphin County Coroner Graham Hetrick spoke about inaccuracies in death records during the pandemic, saying, “We can tell a lot about how we’re living by how we die.”
Attorney Thomas Renz, involved in many federal lawsuits challenging COVID-19 restrictions, emphasized the importance of providing factual information to the public and acknowledged recent court decisions that affect bodily autonomy.
He explained, “My body, my choice is more important than ‘grandma might catch a cold from you, so you have to vaccinate, you have to mask, you have to lockdown.’”
Former Silicon Valley executive Steve Kirsch closed the panel with a comparison of health outcomes between the Amish, known for their low vaccination rates, and the general population.
He stressed the need for accountability, saying, “You’re not going to get accountability until people wake up.”
Mastriano appreciated the information shared by the panelists, saying, “I will continue to push for commonsense legislation to protect Pennsylvanians and fortify their medical freedom.”
He is also sponsoring legislation that seeks to prohibit the use and mandate the disclosure of mRNA in Pennsylvania’s food supply.
