Reports confirm that Betsy Hackman died of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, while her husband, actor Gene Hackman, died shortly after of heart disease and Alzheimer's. The hosts highlight a Pfizer document listing Hantavirus as an "adverse event of special interest," speculating that mRNA vaccines could potentially reactivate dormant viral infections.

An Australian Senate inquiry grills representatives from the TGA and Pfizer regarding vaccine safety data and adverse event reporting. Senators question why the TGA relied on FDA approval rather than independent testing, and allegations surface that Pfizer imported a specific batch of vaccines for its own employees.

Analysis of the VAERS database suggests that approximately 5% of COVID-19 vaccine lot numbers are responsible for the majority of reported adverse events. There is a claim that these specific lots are more prevalent in politically "red" states. The lack of liability for pharmaceutical manufacturers is cited as the reason these specific lots have not been recalled.

Hospitalist Deborah Conrad appeared on "The High Wire" to discuss her efforts to report vaccine adverse events to the VAERS database. Conrad observed a spike in heart attacks and sepsis following vaccinations at her Western New York facility but found that most providers were unaware of their legal obligation to report these incidents. She eventually took on the reporting role as a volunteer task during her time off.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) showed significant changes in mortality figures following a period of being offline. Reported deaths associated with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine rose to over 1,000, while figures for Pfizer and Moderna saw slight adjustments. Critics suggest the data management process involves manual pruning or reclassification of reported adverse events.
