A tech entrepreneur turned vaccine researcher, Steve Kirsch, joined Liz Collin on her podcast to talk about his report to a Minnesota police department regarding what a whistleblower told him about a Twin Cities nursing home.
Kirsch is founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, but he was first known for helping develop the optical computer mouse and founding an internet search engine.
In a recent Substack article, he details where his research led him after a call about what happened at Apple Valley Village Health Care Center in December of 2020.
“She said that one of her relatives works at Apple Valley Village, and that when the shots rolled out, they were called back to work. And during Christmas, right after they started giving the shots, and they said, ‘People are dying, we need everybody back here immediately.’ So, that was a tip off … I had a date and with that date, I could go into the Medicare records for the nursing home and look up the deaths. What I found was that the death rate at the nursing home was normally one a week. After the shots rolled out, it skyrocketed to eight deaths a week on average for three weeks,” Kirsch said.
Medicare records show that 90 COVID cases resulted in 28 deaths within a period of just a few weeks right after the COVID shots were administered, Kirsch explained. For the preceding 32-week period, there were zero COVID deaths, he reported.
He believes nursing home data is the “single most stunning” piece of official U.S. government data, but he expressed frustration at the fact mainstream media doesn’t seem to look at the data at all.
“Yeah, it’s funny. They don’t talk about the success stories either. What’s really interesting is that the mainstream media doesn’t cover the success stories because as far as I know, there aren’t any. But when there are very troubling anecdotes that you hear about that are very difficult to explain—in fact, I’ve called Apple Valley Village to ask them to explain how their death rate went from one a week to eight a week after the shots rolled out and what they did about it and nobody would return my call,” Kirsch said.
Alpha News also reached out to the nursing home and did not receive a response for this story.
“It’s stunning because certainly the people that work there knew what was going on. I mean, they call people back from their vacations because people were dying at an extraordinary rate right after they started giving the shots. Then they won’t talk about it. I tried to call in and they wouldn’t talk to me. I couldn’t get anybody on the phone to ask about it,” Kirsch said.
“I had a (Minnesota) state representative call and they basically hung up on him. They said he asked about the incident and they said no comment, click. So, basically people are able to hide all the deaths and get away with it and nobody’s holding them accountable. Nobody in Minnesota is ever going to look at this. This is how it works. It is like people die and nobody is going to investigate it because they don’t want to make themselves look bad for having made a huge mistake. So it’s all about covering your, your reputation.”
Kirsch was so bothered he reported the numbers to the Apple Valley Police Department as “criminal negligence.”
Apple Valley police confirmed to Alpha News that it received the incident report. A spokesperson said “it was reported by Mr. Kirsch that the incidents occurred back in 2020 but weren’t reported to Apple Valley PD until 6/19/24. It was determined by a sergeant that no investigation would be conducted into the matter.”
“I’d like to see the shots stopped. I’d like to see people held accountable for ignoring the deaths. When you inject people with a vaccine that’s supposed to be safe and effective and you find that people are dying at an abnormally high rate, at a minimum, you need to warn people,” Kirsch said.
He doesn’t believe what happened in Apple Valley is rare.
“I ran the stats on the nursing homes and I ran these case fatality rates for COVID before the shots were rolled out and after the shots were rolled out,” he said. “I found that for every nursing home where the rates improved, three nursing homes got worse. So the odds were three to one that the case fatality rate got worse after the shots rolled out rather than better.”
