A major reason for vaccine hesitancy is the belief that the COVID jabs might alter your genes. A recent article in Medscape addresses this concern: “Chance That COVID-19 Vaccines Are Gene Therapy? ‘Zero’.” The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) states that conclusions should be based on scientific evidence, not solely on expert opinion.

Dear AAPS Members and Friends, If you experienced an adverse reaction to a COVID-19 shot, or have first-hand knowledge of an adverse reaction, please consider reporting it to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Reporting System (VAERS). Who can report? “VAERS accepts reports from anyone. Patients, parents, caregivers and healthcare [professionals] (HCP) are encouraged to report adverse […]
On June 23, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) had an emergency meeting because of reports of myocarditis (heart inflammation) after COVID-19 shots. There were about 600 cases reported at that time; the number is now more than 1,200. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concluded that this effect is “extremely rare” […]
If your faith forbids sterilization, or your respect for human rights forbids involuntary sterilization, then you need to consider the risk of infertility from COVID jabs. We do NOT know that the COVID jab will cause infertility. But we also do not and cannot know that it doesn’t. There simply has not been enough time […]
As reports of jab-related complications rise, many respond that the disease is worse. It too might cause myocarditis, miscarriages, infertility, blood clots, and death. So, get the jab now to keep from getting COVID later. The American Medical Association (AMA) and others report that “nearly all COVID deaths in U.S. are now among unvaccinated.” The […]
With improvements in technology, telemedicine has become increasingly popular, and increased 154% in March 2020 compared with 2019 because of the pandemic.

After the post-vaccination death of a 56-year-old Florida physician from a brain hemorrhage, and reports of clotting problems worldwide after the Astra-Zeneca jab, Lee Merritt, M.D., undertook a review of reports in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of reactions to Pfizer and Moderna products that possibly were related to platelet problems. Her article […]
AAPS thanks Gov. Doug Ducey for signing SB 1416, sponsored by Sen. Nancy Barto, into law to help protect patient access to treatment during a pandemic. AAPS too often hears concerns from physicians in Arizona, and across the U.S., about the potential for facing medical board discipline for helping COVID patients using off-label medications. In […]
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons thanks Arizona Governor Doug Ducey for signing SB 1271 into law on May 10, 2021.
