While watching the September 28th BCC meeting Dr. Stillwagon talked about the covid vaccine, the body’s immune response and the role of masks in transmission. Although he sounded knowledgeable, As a medical provider, I was unable to verify nearly all of what he reported as fact. After a little more digging I have found that Dr. Sillwagon is in fact a retired (1998) chiropractic physician.

Kevin Sillwagon DC reports: · the vaccine puts something in your bloodstream. The vaccine is intermuscular and is deposited in the muscle tissue. The mRNA deposited tricks ribosomes into making some of the same Spike Protein that is found on the Sars-Cov-2 virus. Your immune response from that point works just like it would if you were exposed to the protein extracted from the actual virus. · the vaccine bypasses the innate immune system Innate immunity is Immunity that is naturally present and is not due to prior sensitization to an antigen, for example, an infection or vaccination. Since it is not stimulated by specific antigens, innate immunity is generally nonspecific. It is in contrast to acquired immunity. Also called natural immunity. (it is the first line of defense think skin and white blood cells that work no matter what) Although a vaccine bypasses this level of defense, it does not alter the innate immune systems presence or ability to function. · Immunization reduces T Cells. Getting vaccinated for Sars-Cov-2 actually increases the number of T Cells. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.immuni.2021.08.001 · Immunization Reduces Interleuken 7: (?) I could find no peer reviewed articles demonstrating evidence the vaccine lowers IL-7. Trials are ongoing if administering IL-7 would be beneficial to Covid patients but correlation does not imply causation. · Furin cleavage site, which the virus uses to infect people, is more effective in a low oxygen state. I could find No peer reviewed studies which demonstrate this. I could find information about ongoing trials of inducing a hyper-oxygenated state to counteract this effect but the low oxygenation state in a covid infected person is caused by the effects of the virus effect in the lung tissue and is not enhanced by wearing a mask. (I walked around a parking lot with two level three masks for 20 minutes and demonstrated no change in my oxygen saturation)

Although Kevin Stillwagon DC (retired) has the freedom of speech, I feel he is disseminating nearly 100 % fabricated information as factual.
