Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's
Beach Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah, open lines. We have been kind of concentrating on vaccinations.
I also had a wild ride share ride that I
was I want to share with you. And I'm seeing
now that President Trump is actually Marco Rubio has said
that President Trump really plans to buy Greenland and that

(00:28):
the talk about the military was just talk to scare
them into selling and getting a better deal. And while
I don't know about using the military as a bargaining
ship in purchasing stuff, I would if they get a
good deal, I wouldn't be adverse to purchasing Greenland. I mean,

(00:50):
if you can, if you can buy it without pressuring
them militarily, that would that would be completely wrong. But
if you can just buy it and get a good deal,
then you know, why not. How do you feel about that?
Although there are Republicans that are pushing back on that
plan as well, so I don't know. How do you
feel about this empire building kind of kind of thing,

(01:15):
the Greenland idea. I wonder if Denmark really wants to
hang on to that territory, it's a territory associated with Denmark.
How much would it cost. Would it be another great
deal like the like Seward's folly. Let's go to Laurie

(01:36):
and Melrose. Anything you want to talk about it all,
that's fine with me, Laurie.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Hi, I just wanted to make things. I we'll make
a comment about that, but I wanted to just say
about back things. This Robert Kennedy Junior has done a
lot of harm to a lot of people, a lot
of children. And then look at what this has happened
in Massachusetts. Who children have died of you know, because
they I don't know, I think they didn't get vaccinated.

(02:02):
I assume maybe not I did, they didn't say, But
that is so dangerous. And that book that that man recommended,
I would be so scared for people to really take
that and anything altering. I mean, it was new, you know,
COVID was new. He was doing his best guessing and

(02:22):
masks and whatever. I mean, everybody was just trying to
find a way because it was just so scary, and
Canda was showing pitches of China and all that, and
they were sealing up people in their homes and all
that stuff. But anyway, no, I just encourage people, especially
with children vaccinated I've been like the gentleman earlier. I've

(02:46):
been taking all the vaccines, every COVID one I could
get a hold of. I take boosters every year. I'm
still over sixty five and all that, and it's risky
and it's better off to have it. Didn't get COVID
until a family memver came on from No, it wasn't

(03:06):
that wasn't that. There was something else. But I again,
growing up, I never had smeezles of a chicken pox,
and that I just my mother never got those things,
so I didn't have those diseases. But anyway, that's another
whole story. I won't go on about me, but I
just want people a lot please give their children the
vaccine they need. And I've had the alvary, COVID everything,

(03:29):
and I take every flue shot. I'd rather, you know,
not take chances. And I don't see any danger. I've
not hurt my health at all. But as far as
Greenland goes, what in the hell is he thinking of?
And he's threatening, you know, in all of Europe is
up in arms, you know, threatening them and everything they own.

(03:50):
It's their, their land, their property. It's never any right
of ours.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
We stopped.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I'm sorry if you trumb Is. You know, i'n't going
to reput my all my life, but Donald Trump scared
the heck out of me with all his threats that
he does all the time, and you know, and and everything. Okay, John, Yeah,
well I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Thank you, Laurie and Melrose. I have a friend who
lives in Melrose. He likes it very much. Thanks Laurie.
It's eleven ten. Things are flying right by these days,
flew right by. It's a weird lifestyle doing night side.
It's a day long thing. You probably don't understand you
get up if you're hosting this, at least if you

(04:36):
do it like I do, and like Dan does it.
I know because I was dance producer for a while.
Dan spends a lot of time each day preparing. I
don't exactly know when he starts, but it's in the
you know, in the afternoon, and probably before that. It's
kind of an all day thing. And really you're always

(04:59):
looking for a topic all the time. When you're at
home going through any sort of online news, you're thinking,
I'm looking for topics, and that's work. But then on
the day of the show, of course, you have to
you have to work with the producer to get guests.
You have to prepare so you know what you're talking
about on all these subjects. Then you have to come

(05:22):
in early and get your head in the game. You
can't just walk in off the street. You have to
sit down and get all everything. You get your ducks
in a row in your head so you know where
you're gonna go, you know how you're gonna get from
point A to point B, and then you do the show.
Then you go home and I don't know about Dan,

(05:42):
but it's tough for me to go to sleep right away,
so I don't get to sleep till three. Three is
as early as I can get to sleep. Oh, actually
that's as early as I can get to bed, maybe
three point thirty to sleep, and then you start boom
right right in the early part of the day. You
sleep if you're going to get I was asleep, that's
three and eight is eleven, right, or maybe you sleep

(06:04):
till ten and get seven hours of sleep, so then
right away I'm talking to the producer at eleven thirty.
But it is really a fabulous lifestyle because everything that
you study, everything you see, you have a chance to
comment on to everybody. When you learn something, you can
share it. It's fantastic that way. You have a voice.

(06:27):
You get to share your thoughts and your theories and
your fears with everybody all the time. But of course
you have that option too because you at any time
can be on this radio and on this night side show.
That's the beauty of the call in radio show. You
have the same platform we do, and I'm glad to

(06:51):
see many folks are taking advantage of it. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty open lines vaccines is fine. I'd still like
to hear from our rideshare driver or somebody that used
to drive rideshare. There's some internal things that I want
to understand. Maybe I'll get a ride share guest later,
but right now, is anybody out there driving a ride

(07:12):
share vehicle? I'd like to hear from you. Now. It's
Will in Lakeville.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Hi, Will, Just Ti Bradley, How are you?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Where's Lakeville?

Speaker 4 (07:21):
New Year?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Is Lakeville down by.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Plymouth, down by Middleborough? Yes? Yeah, the town over from Middleborough.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
I'd like to talk about vaccines. I d I kind
of I'm selective on the vaccines.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
I did during the COVID. Of course I got the
two mandatory vaccines. I think because it was a crisis
and we were trying to lower the curve. It was
a dire situation, so I did get them. But I'm
reluctant to tech get anything with our m r n
A right now.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
So the vaccine did, I mean the COVID vaccine did.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
Yeah, they that had it, but I think it was
imperative to take it at the time.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
And so what is your hesitation of the m n
r A, m n ir A, what is your hesitation.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
From the research you know that I've done. Just the
spike protein just seems like it can go to parts
of the body where it shouldn't. So interesting, and there's
adverse effects, just a little.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Bit larry of it.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
But I've had I have had the I have had
other vaccines subsequently.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Interesting. I don't know what to think on that one.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
I've had the shingles vaccine. I have heard the painful
stories that people had. Yeah, I've got it, uh and ironically,
but but I don't get the I won't get another
COVID boostore. I have had COVID a couple of times,
and thank god, it has been very minor.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Maybe it was minor because you had the vaccine.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Could have been, could be.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, now you're.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
When you make the personal calculation, you say it to yourself,
it's not worth it.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
It's not worth it. And the and the flu vaccine
for that specific reason. Bradley, Yeah, the flu vaccine. It
seems like people that get the flu vaccine actually get
a little, you know, small, small, mild version of it,
which which is what the vaccine should do. But uh,
it just seems like that seems pretty consistent. It seems

(09:42):
like you're you're doubling up on that, you know, getting
getting the flu and then getting it again if you
do get it.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
So so what do you mean you're getting the flu
and getting it again if you get it. So when
you get a vaccine, it's not like getting the flu.
It's just your a little sore, right, right.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
But it seems like it's a little bit more than
that for some people that I've talked to.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I mean, it's a bummer, but it's not anywhere near
as much of a bummer as the flu. If if
the flu is one hundred percent bummer, then the vaccine
is like maybe for me, like three percent or maybe
five percent. It's a sore arm and I'm achy for
a day. But the flu, We're talking sore throat, dude,
that's awful. It's I hate sore throats. I guess it's

(10:26):
an individual decision, but I hate sore throats way more
than I hate the vaccine. And I yeah, I despise
it too. That's no good. I can't stand it, and
it's bad professionally as well.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
I respect anyone's position, you know, as fuf they were
anti vaxer or if they pro vaccine. I think it's
a it's an individual choice that you know, people should make.
And what's in the one other thing I wanted to
mention Bradley is no I I I'm an advocate for
the line disease vaccine. I wish we would have that too,

(11:05):
because there are a lot of ticks down here in
the summery. I get probably five ticks on me a year.
Do you take pull them off? Dear ticks? Yep?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh. You see. It's interesting, even before you know what
kind of vaccination it would be, you're like, I want
that one. It's all about how much you despise or
fear the disease versus the effects of the vaccine. So far,

(11:37):
I figure I've been trying of I haven't noticed any
adverse effects from the vaccine. So I'm hoping I'm a
person that doesn't get them, and that if I were
a person who would have some of the severe side effects,
I would have gotten them by now. I agree with
your on lime disease. My brothers and I all are
just scared to death of lime disease. The stories I

(12:00):
hear are horrible, and so we curtail. We won't go
in the woods in the summer, we won't walk into
our grass. My brother won't even watch and regular grass.
He stays out the grass.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
Yeah, I understand. I have a friend that's stabilitated by it.
He's just crazy, crazy symptoms that isn't just unbelievable. You know,
one side of his body's affected. He's got muscles tightening up,
he can't drive. It's crazy. But yeah, one last thing, Bradley,
I just wanted to thank you for all your work

(12:34):
you've done on your broadcasts and your travel videos on
YouTube and Facebook. I enjoyed them and your music. Your
music videos are underrated. I think thank you. I know
Thunder and Flow with the horses fantastic.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I so appreciate that. So what he's talking about, folks,
is during the pandemic, I connected with the colleague and
we I produce. We did an album together. She did
the female vocal and I did everything else. And the
brand is called Bridge Bender. It's on Spotify and you'll
be surprised at how good the songs are. My friends

(13:14):
trust me, and I'm really pleased with the production. I
did it all myself, like no, I no fancy studio.
I did it in my you know, my little my
setup in my bedroom, and it came out surprisingly professionally.
And the travel I appreciate you referencing the travel channel.
Oh I didn't break yet, so will thank you very much.

(13:35):
I need to break. It's nice to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Bradley.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Take care. I just got the word. I was wondering
Rob Brooks working the wheel. Did I break it? Okay?
I think okay. Things are going so quickly.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Here A's w b Z Night Side with Dan Ray
on WBZ, Boston's news radio.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
You know, I really am liking the open lines for
some reason, and recently it's really easy going and the
time seems to fly by. Let's visit Greensboro, North Carolina.
I think my cousin owned a car dealership in Greensboro.
He never really liked me. I don't think it's VICKI
in North in North Carolina. Hi, Vicky, Hi, are.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
You very well?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Vicky?

Speaker 7 (14:24):
Okay, I want to talk about vaccines because I've had
COVID three times. Okay, the first time they didn't call
it COVID then, and I was very sick. I've never
been that sick before or since. The other two times

(14:47):
were not quite as bad. But every time they say
COVID vaccine, I'm probably the first one to get it
because each time it hits you differently. I have to
use a breathing device when I have allergies like inhaler.
I never had those kind of troubles and I used

(15:09):
to smoke. So if anybody, I mean, the information we
know is the information we know. That's any vaccine, and
I think we need to if I had kids, my
kids are adults, I would make sure that that got

(15:30):
vaccinated if I had to pay for it myself. Interesting,
that's all I have to say. You have a wonderful night.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Well, thank you for in North Carolina. It's fun to
hear it's I gotta admit it's fun to hear people
speaking with Southern accents. I don't know. It makes it
makes it seem like this is a national station, and
it makes it seem more inclusive, like, Hey, we're including
those folks down in the in the Carolina. That's great.

(15:58):
That's interesting too. Due to her experience, would get the
vaccination every time for COVID and she's had a terrible,
terrible experience and it uh. People do seem to be
turning away from vaccines partly because they haven't had to
deal with the disease. As was mentioned by one of

(16:21):
our friends earlier, he remembers polio vaccine in the horrors
of polio and folks, do you remember measles? Everybody used
to get me measles. It used to be a very
serious disease, and vaccinations have largely taken care of it.
But now people don't remember them measles and the problems

(16:42):
with rubella, and so they don't bother to vaccinate now,
and it's starting to come back. Hey, hello, Paul in
New Hampshire. We don't hear from Paul from New Hampshire enough.
How you doing, Paul? Be there Paul. Hmmm, I'm gonna
put you back out. Oh there you.

Speaker 8 (17:04):
Are po okay, but how are you?

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I'm good. If you have your radio on, turn it
down and there we go.

Speaker 8 (17:12):
Should be off.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Where are you? Exactly in New Hampshire? I live.

Speaker 8 (17:17):
I live right there where you grew up.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Okay, where.

Speaker 8 (17:24):
Uh you you grew up? I think diagonally across from
the National Guard Amory.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Oh, so you're in the same town I grew up in.

Speaker 8 (17:35):
Well, I'm three miles down the road. I'm in Barrington.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh my mother used to be a teacher in Barrington
Grade School.

Speaker 8 (17:42):
I know you said that. That's crazy. Hey, how's the
vaccine's going through something right now? I had never heard
of until last week when I got diagnosed. It's called
frozen shoulder syndrome and it's from a misplacement of a vaccine.
I got the Oh gosh, I got the pneumonia vaccine

(18:03):
back in October. And of course you have that soreness
after you get a shot.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, and it never went away.

Speaker 8 (18:10):
It just got progressively worse. And so I have real,
real bad mobility issue right now. And it's of course
it's physical therapy and they want to do portisone shots
and it's just crazy vaccines my whole life, but never
nothing like this as far as they are.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
So you say it's a misplaced vaccine, meaning they gave
you the shot wrong.

Speaker 8 (18:32):
Yeah, they went right into the joint and they said
it's more and more common, of course, with all these
vaccines they've been having from uh since the COVID pandemic. Ooh, yeah,
it's painful, buddy, but it's it really is. It's it's
like being punched in the shoulder every day. It's horrible.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
When you got the shot. Did it feel like they
did it wrong?

Speaker 8 (18:58):
No, No, it felt normal. I work in the wastewater
industry down and Lynn, mass So I try to get
all the vaccines that come down the pike because I
get everything that comes down the pike. Yeah, and it
didn't feel a bad at all, just a normal soreness.
But it never went away. It just got progressively worse.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
So you went to the doctor and they just they
diagnosed you with this. Did they take X rays or something?
How did they know what it was?

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (19:21):
I did. I got an X ray back in December,
the second week in December, and there's a serious inflammation
in the joint, and they they say, it's that that pneumonia.
It could have been any vaccine, but it was a
pneumonia one that I had happened to get the joint.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
How do they know that's what it is?

Speaker 8 (19:42):
Just just basically by the symptoms like that that soreness
that you get when you get a vaccine never went
away and it got progressively worse.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Well, now, you I didn't want to hear it. I
didn't want to hear that.

Speaker 8 (19:56):
I know, buddy, I'm not pro vaccine and I'm not
anti vaccine. I just have to do it. But because
of the industry that I work, so I wouldn't have
got it, you know, had I not worked in the
wastewater industry. But I said, yeah, give me a pneumonia
because the moon does have been enough. Pick of pneumonia
and tetanus.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Oh geez, Andrew.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
So I got both of them, and the pneumonia one
really wallowed my left arm. So they here's a kick
in the butt. Even with the quarters on the shot.
They said the symptoms can last up to two years.
Frozen frozen shoulder syndrome. Look it up. I never even
heard of it until last week.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Okay, Hey, I can ask a question about Barrington, New Hampshire.

Speaker 8 (20:38):
Is there anything?

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Is there still a pond there called Swain's Pond.

Speaker 8 (20:44):
Swain's Lake as Blake and Nipple Lake. I live on
Nipple Lake.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Oh well I know where that is. That's where you go.

Speaker 8 (20:51):
Here's the golf Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
My brother used to go swimming in the swimming holes
to get golf balls.

Speaker 8 (20:58):
That's right, too funny as far as that.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
So, Swain's Pond is where I had to take swimming
lessons there, and I was very scared of swimming lessons
because Swain's Lake had a lot of bloodsuckers and I
just was had a terrible fear of bloodsuckers. And also
one day during swimming lessons, I stuck my hand in
a yellow jacket nests and got stung a lot.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Oh god, it bad.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Memories of Swain's Lake in Barrington, New Hampshire.

Speaker 8 (21:27):
I don't know when the last time you've been up
at home. Swain's used to be a lot of old camps.
People from Massachusetts come up and you get nothing but
seven dred thousand dollars homes built right on the lake.
It's it's a different crowd up there now. Bradley.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Did they get the bloodsuckers over there? I can't imagine.

Speaker 8 (21:45):
No, I don't know about I don't know about that.
But if we get green one, there's no bloodsuckers in Greenwood.
I got to go right.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Thanks.

Speaker 8 (21:55):
Hey, look at one more thing. I met you one
time and you were super professional. I went into the
had to get an autograph from Connor Roll and I
have an autograph of book that I want that he
did on you too, and you came right out and man,
you were just great good. I'm glad, all right, all right, buddy,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
That's a good you gotta It's tough. You gotta always
be nice to people. If you're not nice to someone
one time, even though you're the nicest personal world and
I meet you, they're going to remember that forever and even.
And this is tough to remember even when you're in
a bad mood, if you're in a position like you're
on TV or radio, even if you're in a bad mood,
you can't take that out on people and strangers. You

(22:39):
gotta be upbeat and cheerful. And that's hard to remember.
And I'm not that great at it, but I have
to try to remember to do that, and chances are
if I was nice to you, it's because I genuinely
liked you. I'm not good at pretending. Okay, we have
Larry and Jeff coming up here on w b Z.

(23:00):
I never even got a chance to tell you my
ride share weird ride share story. I'm dying to do that,
but I'd rather take your calls and I can save
that till tomorrow. We will do that right after this
on WBZ.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
You're on the night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ,
Boston's news Radio.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Not much time lift, really, this night is flown by
Thank you Rob Brooks and Troy for working the wheel
back there and making it all happen. It's pretty complicated
what they do. I'm so thankful I don't have to
do it. In fact, if you did the when we
did the rock radio, when I worked at the radio
station WBC, and I had to do all the board
operating myself, I was a terrible board operator. I'll admit it.

(23:43):
It was. It's tough to be have a personality, play
the songs, mix the music, and run all the knobs
and dials, and I was far from These guys are
way better at it than I am. Let's let's open lines.
Let's talk first to Larry and Dennis Port.

Speaker 9 (23:59):
Hello, Oh Larry, good evening, evening. So I'm going to
tell you my nightmare story with the COVID vaccine.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Oh oh, okay.

Speaker 9 (24:10):
I got the first two with no problem, and then
they came out with the booster. And at the time,
I'm in my seventies, avid mountain biker. I ride with
people half my age, and they scared us to death.
You know you're over sixty five. You get COVID, you're
going to die. But when I first came out with
the vaccine, they said, if you get the vaccine, you

(24:31):
can't get COVID. The host virus can't live with you.
Then they change their story, Well, you can get COVID,
but it won't be as severe a case. Well, anyway,
I got the first two with no problem. I got
the booster in November of twenty twenty one. Said to
my wife, I'm going to go out mountain biking because
I know I could be a little tired. Tonight that night,

(24:53):
at eight o'clock, I came down with a fever, shaking
so bad my wife couldn't even say in the same
bed broke out with all of these symptoms, headaches, bliary eyes,
I lost my sense of taste and smell, lost eight
pounds in a month's gastric problems, neuropathy of my feet.
I went to my primary and of course they didn't

(25:14):
know what to do, but they took a viral panel
and they said, you're epstein bar virus. Antibodies a sky high.
That's what's making you tired. So I never heard of
eepstine bar virus, but he said, if you grew up
in the sixties, you had mono and it's stays in
the system. Well, then I found a infectious disease doctor
and he said there was a blood test that shows

(25:35):
your spike proteins from the vaccine. Mine were over the top.
So he said, you're basically in a state of inflammation
and I probably wouldn't get any other shots or vaccines
at this point. But he said, all these symptoms mimbic covid.
You probably had COVID, which I know I didn't. Finally
found a doctor at the Brigmoan Women's who did a

(25:57):
He said there was now a blood test tells whether
the spike proteins are from the vaccine. Or from COVID.
He does the blood tests byte proteins from the vaccine
over the top COVID zero. So I said to him,
does that mean I'm vaccine injured? Raises his hands. I
can't talk about the vaccine, I said, why. I just

(26:19):
can't talk about the vaccine. So I have a lot
of mistrust that I'm not an anti vaxxer. This is
four years later. I still don't have all of my
taste back. I've spent thousands of dollars out of my
pocket with a functional medicine doctor because mainstream doctors don't
know what to do. I finally did get COVID in

(26:40):
twenty twenty three, and then again in twenty twenty four.
And every time you get COVID once you have all
these problems that makes it worse. You've heard of long covid. Obviously,
I joined the Brighaman Women's support group. They have a
long COVID recovery clinic over there, and the director finally said, Larry,
there are some people it's a very small percentage that

(27:03):
they found the vaccine gave them long covid. And now
that you've hade COVID two more times, you have severe
long COVID. So I ride my bike maybe two or
three miles, and then I'm exhausted. The next day. I
don't go out at the crowds because I am so
afraid of getting COVID again. I don't go to family
functions or anything. And I haven't gotten any other I've

(27:25):
gotten every other vaccine up to that point, but I
don't even get flu shots now because I'm afraid that
my immune system won't know what to do. So I
just want to let people know that there are a
very very small percentage of us. They had vaccine injuries
and we've forgotten. Doctors don't want to talk to us
about it. There's no research on it. All the research

(27:46):
is going towards people that have long COVID periods.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
So let me ask you this, even given what you know,
it was terrible and given the look, given the low
number of people that get what you get. By the way,
do you know the number like how many, okay, would
you not get the vaccine the first time? You would
have stayed away?

Speaker 9 (28:10):
Well, you know what, you don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
You don't know what I'm saying. Knowing what you know now.

Speaker 9 (28:15):
Yeah, if you never would have gotten a vaccine. Well,
I'll end it with this. My daughter in law is
a nurse at Lahy Clinics and we don't talk politics
or anything, and she's not an anti vacsery either, but
she said, you know, I'm not going to get this vaccine.
It's a new mRNA. It takes ten years to develop
a vaccine. This one was done in six months. And
my grandson, who is ten, I'm not going to give

(28:36):
it to him. You know, it's a virus and we'll
get better. And so what do you do about works.
I'll take a leave of absence and my grandson's going
to go to private school.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
So is this back during COVID in.

Speaker 9 (28:46):
Twenty twenty one, back in the very beginning when I
started mandating the shop. Really Nope. And I have lots
of friends who did not get the vaccine, not because
they're anti vaccinos. Was strictly because it was new and
they all got COVID and they all get over it.
Everybody in my support group, there's over one hundred that

(29:07):
meet twice a month through Zoom, twenty percent of them
said they have vaccine injuries, but nobody wants to listen
to them, so it's a higher percent if might only
be one percent point one percent, Nobody wants to listen
to us, and that's the frustration.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
You're a very powerful force. I mean, your story is
well told in it. It's given me second thoughts about
getting more.

Speaker 9 (29:34):
I wish all of us to anti vax not antirat.
I'm sorry, all of our vaccine injured people. We could
all get together and have a louder voice. If a
higher high ranking politician got vaccine injured, you'd see it
right away.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yes, right, yes, exactly.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (29:52):
I'm just a retired guy, an ex auto mechanic. Where
had my whole life and here I am at seventy
seven now feel like I'm ninety five.

Speaker 8 (30:00):
It.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I really appreciate your story. It's disturbing but important to hear.

Speaker 9 (30:04):
Thank you, yeah, thank you. And you've done a great
job of filling in for Dan. I call them all
the time, and I loved that one you did last
week on the cameras. But traffic enforcement, oh yeah, so
good news.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Everyone check this out. We have a state senator coming
on tomorrow night to talk about legislation that he's writing
with a rep to finally get some laws on the
books about this insanely dangerous behavior by motors, scooter drivers
and e bikes.

Speaker 9 (30:35):
Oh, don't get you sidled than that. Yeah, my sister
lives in Arizona. She told me they have those cameras.
That's the wife cent everything. Anyway, I'll let you go
and let the next person talk.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Okay, thank you. I'll tell you I'm a fan of
automated enforcement. I'm a rule follower. If it's done right
and it's automated enforcement, it takes a picture, The picture
goes to an officer. The officer looks at how severe
the infraction was, Like, we you going one mile an
hour over or were you blatantly blowing through a light

(31:07):
or did you just kind of, you know, make a
little mistake and just barely stick the front of your
car out a little bit too much to trip the camera.
You know, somebody with a heart, or at least a
human to take the edge off the machine. Plus you
can set the machine to be lax, and then you
have a human that you can appeal to. Everybody gets

(31:29):
a photo that they can appeal. I would like that
first of all, then there would be some enforcement. There's
not a whole lot of enforcement now because towns and
cities are afraid to enforce. Also, it would free up
so much money from the town because officers wouldn't have
to do it, and it wouldn't make a lot of
money for the town in fees from people who are

(31:53):
flavoringly breaking the law. It would also do something about
the situation with the motors. Scooters and bikes are powerful
vehicles now that many of them are electric motorcycles. The
pedals are just something stuck on there on those big,
fast ones to make them legal on bike paths. That's
wrong and it's gonna be changed. I wish they would

(32:15):
put me on their committee when when they're make drafting
these laws, they're actually drafting them now, I have extremely
detailed input that I would like to give them. As
a matter of fact, they've already written a letter. Maybe
I'll send it to him. Actually, you know what I'm
gonna do. I'm gonna read my letter to him tomorrow
when he comes in. I'll read it all to you.

(32:37):
I wrote it to my town. My town does not
have any interest in enforcing motors, scooter or e bikes.
They just don't want to. They don't want to offend.
Let's think about what we do here A quarter of Okay,
right after this, Jeff and Maine, it's a short break.
We're going to go right to you, okay, Jeff. After

(32:57):
this break, WBZ.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZS Boston's news radio.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
As promised, we go to Jeff on our open lines
tonight on Nightside. Hi Jeff in Maine.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Hello, sir, Hey Bradley, Hey been a long time.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yes, well quite a while.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Yeah I am. I am kind of the direct alternate
to the last gentleman.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
On January January twenty fourth, twenty twenty, I landed at
lax in Terminal fifteen coming from Boston. Flying into lax Well,
they are named the Gate fifteen or Terminal twenty. There's
twenty gates and the odd ones are on one side

(33:46):
and the even ones are on the other side. Well.
They had seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, and twenty closed off with
plastic walls, Claire plastic, two of them. The reason there's
two is because they said up what's called negative air
in between the two so that nothing escapes. They set

(34:07):
them up because they knew that the Chinese cold was
going to come to the US, so they were bringing
all of the planes that landed at Lax into those
four gates six hours before I landed. They caught the
first guy, and somebody was smart enough to tell the CDC,

(34:31):
you need to bring the planes from Mexico City into
those four gates too, because smart business travelers from China
don't fly direct to Lax. They connect into Mexico City
because the airfares half The guy walked off of the plane.
They took the infrared thermometer. He shot at one hundred

(34:52):
and five degrees. When I walked through the gate six
hours later, there was two hundred to three hundred people
on the other side, and they were all pissed off
because all of them ended up getting shipped to Miramar
Air Force Base for thirty days. Shortly thereafter, I got

(35:13):
COVID no vaccine. There was no vaccine at that point,
and I went into the hospital and it ate the
bottom half of my right lung. I'm lucky. I've got
scientists for kids. I've got two biochemists, both of them doctors.
The biochemistry one worked on the COVID vaccine, ramping up

(35:36):
the production. The people who have long COVID, a lot
of them have long COVID because Johnson and Johnson was
in on it along with Maderna and Pfizer, and Johnson
and Johnson made a bunch of bad batches and it

(35:58):
was caught rather quickly, you know. But it was discovered
that you know, the protein that they used to build
the vaccine, which was basically just a mimic, an exact
mimic to the virus, and the virus luckily looked like

(36:19):
what was an old middle aged mace, had spikes sticking
out of it. And that's how it was so effective
as far as infecting people is because the spikes would
penetrate this, you know, the cell walls, and at that
point you're infected. Vaccines do not you know, cure you know,

(36:42):
and absolutely prohibit getting the disease. All of us that
are your age and my age, Bradley, well, we carry
a little basically flower bud scar on our arms. But
nobody gets smallpox anymore.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Right.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
It's the same thing obviously with polio. When I landed
at Lax, I was staying at the Lax Sheridan. The
shuttle drove me in. Now, this guy has only been
caught coming off of the plane six hours before. They
had two cafeteria tables. As they came into the lobby,

(37:29):
they had masks and they had hand sanitizer, and once
into the lobby, every line inch of wall in the
lobby had people of Oriental persuasion who were sitting on
the floor up against the wall with masks on. I
had booked my room over a month ahead of time. Well,

(37:51):
there was two check in people. There was a big
long line in front of one. The other one didn't
have anybody, and basically every but he was arguing in
the one line that had people. I walked to the
other one. I said, I want to check in, you know,
and the lady said, I don't think so. I said,
I booked my room almost a month ago. She very

(38:14):
quietly slid my room card over to me, and I
had people offering me thousands of dollars just to be
able to sleep on the floor of my room that night.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
The next day, being a scientist myself, I had a
meeting with five engineers from Shenzing, China that had flown
over to meet with me. Right, there's a reason why
people from the Orient ow and they don't shake hands. Right.

(38:47):
The reason is fear of disease and transfer of disease. Right, Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Sounds like you're somebody. You're somebody that wish is there
a vaccine, and you would always get the vaccine because
COVID eight year long.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
Well, I you know, I believe it or not. Your
bronchial tissue will regenerate. But when something destroys the bronchial
tissue and you're lung, you develop scar tissue. And scar
tissue is like meat, it's solid. Bronchial tissue is like
tissue paper. Right, So for two and a half years

(39:29):
I go over a pothole and it felt like I
had a water balloon that was half full that was bouncing.
That's terrible, the bottom of my right lung.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
That is a terrible story.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
Yeah. The nice thing is when you get really sick
scar tissue. Scar tissue doesn't develop its own capillary system
defeat it and it necritizes. Okay, it's the selt die off.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
I don't mean to laugh, and it's a nightmare, but
I do need to get un to Greg. And it
does sound like you're the opposite of the previous person.
You wish you had a COT vaccine and you will
always get the vaccine.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
I get every vaccine.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
All right, thank you. Well that's it. Wow, there's some
stories tonight. It'll just curl your hair. Let's get We're
not gonna have time for GEO and reading. Well call
us tomorrow, Geo. I'm gonna go to Greg and Ontario
and he's probably gonna wrap it up. Greg.

Speaker 6 (40:22):
Hi, Yeah, I'm probably gonna talk to you again. Uh,
just listen to your topic tonight on COVID shots. And
I've got a kind of a sad family story where
we had a family member ended up getting four shots
and she is now completely we're going to live in

(40:45):
a wheelchair. She is crippled.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Four shots. What do you mean by four shots? What
kind of shots?

Speaker 6 (40:50):
COVID shots, cold vaccines?

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Okay, and you're gonna tell me that that that's related.
Are you saying that's related to her being in a wheelchair.

Speaker 6 (40:59):
Yeah. She went to multiple doctors here in the healthcare system,
and she spent a year trying to find out what
had happened. And the doctors just looked at her and said, yeah,
you've had a screaming adverse reaction to this vaccine. That's
what the diagnosis they gave her. And she is living

(41:20):
in a wheelchair. She has to listen her house and
it's one of the nicest people.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
You put her in a new wheelchair. What exact you know, disease?

Speaker 6 (41:28):
Well, yeah, she well, she lost her ability to walk,
her whole like her central nervous system just shut down
on her. She was on a flat board in the
hospital and could not move for god. It was like
over six months. She was getting beds hes that were
getting infected and it was a real mess.

Speaker 8 (41:48):
So much.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Yeah, OK, and they know that this is because of COVID.

Speaker 6 (41:54):
Well that's that's what they told her. She she dove
deep into it and just you know, he kept going
to doctors and they were they were actually so they
were intrigatable the whole thing in a sense because they
were like, what has happened to this woman? And their
final conclusion was they couldn't come up with anything else
but that.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Oh wow. And so that's another that's another very scary story. Greg.
I'm sorry you called us right at the end, but
I'm glad you were able to get that story in there,
and so thank you very much. It sounds like Greg
saying that that person he knows was in a wheelchair
because of COVID vaccine. I don't know. This is just
a tough time funny. I hope I didn't bom you

(42:37):
out too much about talking about this, but it's interesting.
It started provoking huh at, making you wonder what you're
gonna do maybe next time. COVID's not that serious now
mostly and you hear these stories. On the other hand,
you've had good luck so far. You're going to continue
to get the code vaccine. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
One more night in for Dan, and then Dan's back

(42:59):
on Thursday. Thanks Detroit. Thanks to Rob Brooks for working
the wheel and running the master control. It's w b
