EXCLUSIVE: Paramedics speak out about empty hospitals, probable vax injuries during COVID

Paramedics say they transferred few COVID-19 patients during the early stages of the pandemic — despite media claims that hospitals were overwhelmed — but since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines they've seen a rise in heart attacks, strokes, and chronic infections.

"If I hadn't heard about COVID all day, every day in the news, I don't think I would have known that anything was any different," said Greg McTague, a paramedic of 25 years from Penticton, B.C. "It seems clear to me at this point, the vaccines are causing a lot more harm than the actual virus."

In response to an anonymous testimonial by an Atlanta, Georgia paramedic, who claimed to be seeing a huge increase in cardiac-related calls for vaccinated men aged 18-30, the Western Standard put out a call on Twitter to see if paramedics were experiencing something similar.

The Western Standard heard from more than a dozen healthcare workers, including six paramedics, three emergency dispatchers, two nurses, two firefighters, and an embalmer.

All said they'd begun seeing an increase in medical conditions, such as heart attacks, strokes, chronic infections, and women with menstrual issues, after the vaccines were rolled out. But they said a culture of silence in the healthcare industry, particularly among doctors, was preventing the issues from being openly discussed.

Many healthcare workers said they feared they would lose their jobs for speaking out. The Western Standard chose to showcase the stories of three paramedics, one of whom chose not to share her identity.
'The vaccines are causing a lot more harm than the actual virus'

McTague said he wasn't busy during the pandemic's early stages. He claimed many people were so afraid of contracting COVID-19 they chose not to go the hospital, even if they were experiencing serious medical episodes.

"We weren't being called for COVID-19. It was our usual medical calls and car accidents and stuff like that. But I don't know anybody who actually had COVID that was serious enough to warrant a 911 call or a hospital visit."

McTague also said every patient that was brought into the hospital was labeled as having COVID-19, no matter what their symptoms were.

"I think they might have even said explicitly 'everybody's COVID until proven otherwise,'" he said, adding that the media and politicians exaggerated the severity of COVID-19.

McTague said following the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, he began seeing "weird stuff that I had never seen before." These included a woman in her 30s who suddenly went permanently blind, men under the age of 25 having heart attacks, and people having seizures for the first time later in life, which McTague said "usually happens when people are younger."

"I saw a few people that went blind, but her in particular, she was pretty young and healthy. People don't just suddenly go blind unless they get hit in the head or have a stroke. To just go blind, shortly after being vaccinated, I can't imagine what else that would be," McTague said.

Many of the people McTague saw with heart attacks and strokes, "didn't have the textbook presentations or symptoms."

"There was a guy in his in his 20s, who was a very fit, bodybuilder type. He woke up in the middle of the night screaming with chest pains. We couldn't even assess him because he couldn't talk to us. He was in so much pain and writhing around. I can't prove to you what caused that, but he had been vaccinated," McTague said.

McTague said because the majority of paramedics got vaccinated and "obviously felt an air of superiority," they are more likely to "turn a blind eye" to injuries that could have been caused by vaccines.

"They just say, 'it can't be the vaccine, because that's been proven safe and effective. So it's got to be something else,'" McTague said.

"Then people like me, we see these calls differently. We look at a patient with those presentations, and we think, 'we can't prove it, but maybe it was the vaccine,' and we are at least open-minded. Whereas the other people wouldn't even consider it as a possibility. Because they also don't want to admit they might have made a mistake."

McTague ended up losing his job in October of 2021 for not getting vaccinated. He said besides wishing he had gotten a full pension, he doesn't regret his decision. "I don't miss that job at all. And the way things are now, I don't think I could ever go back anyways," he said.

McTague said he believes the COVID-19 vaccines have caused more damage than the virus itself. "I'm not saying that there is no COVID virus, I just don't think it's any more serious than the average seasonal flu. And what the politicians have done is beyond stupid."

'I've seen a lot of these cases in the last few weeks.'

Elliot Axelman, a paramedic of eight years from New Hampshire, and author of Corona-Fascism, also claimed to not have been busy during the initial months of the pandemic. He said it appeared many were too afraid of getting COVID-19 to come to hospitals.

Asked if he saw an increase in COVID-19 patients, Axelman said he "never noticed anything different among anyone, to be honest."

"I remember this one guy, we were bringing him back to a nursing home, and he had beaten COVID. He was 85 years-old, with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, CHF, COPD, and other issues, and he'd had COVID and got over it. I thought, 'he's the ideal guy this disease is supposed to kill,'" Axelman said.

Axelman claimed hospitals in the U.S. over counting COVID-19 patients "by potentially tenfold." He claimed the PCR tests were done at 45 cycles instead of the recommended 25, resulting in a higher number of false positives and they used an overly broad list of symptoms for COVID-19 that ended up including people with other illnesses.

Additionally, Axelman said for every COVID-19 positive patient a hospital admitted, they received around $13,000 from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS). When a hospital would put a patient on a ventilator, the hospital would also received approximately $39,000 from the CMS.

While the fact-checking site Snopes acknowledged that hospitals receive money for patients admitted for COVID-19 and placed on ventilators, they said "the $13,000 and $39,000 figures appear to be based on generic industry estimates for admitting and treating patients with similar conditions."

Axelman said he's heard of an increase in cardiac-related calls in young men since the COVID-19 vaccine was rolled out. One case that stuck out to Axelman was a 17-year old boy that came with chest pain and dizziness two days after his second shot. Axelman said the boy had elevated Troponin levels, which is a protein released into the blood after a heart attack.

"I was talking to the attending doctor in the ER. And she was freaked out," Axleman said. "She was like, 'I've seen a lot of these cases in the last few weeks.' And I asked, 'so young males with myocarditis after the second shot?' And she's like, 'Yeah.'"

Axelman said while most cells in the human body can regenerate, brain and heart cells cannot. "When they die, they're dead forever. And that's the issue with heart failure. It's always progressive. It never really gets better."

Since the vaccine rollout, Axelman said he has also seen a huge increase in females with "weird" issues with their menstrual cycles. He's heard of women experiencing heavy or irregular periods, and even cases where women who have already went through menopause got their periods again.

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development noted COVID-19 vaccines were occasionally associated with a "small, temporary menstrual change in women.” But Axelman said even minor menstrual cycle changes can have far-reaching implications for women's fertility.

"You don't need to be a genius to know that the same system that affects the period, is the one that impacts fertility and pregnancy," he said.

'They're all so, so sick. It's just this general decline in the population'

A paramedic of 18 years from Southern Ontario, who refused to divulge her full name because of fears she could lose her job, said the call volume for paramedics was reduced during the first months of the pandemic. "Everybody was so scared, they were all staying home. But we were not seeing people sick with COVID-19," she said.

The paramedic said they were busier during that winter, but the call volume was still lower than previous years. "The only thing that was different than a normal flu season was that patients' oxygen saturation would be lower. But we never saw any young people. These were all 80 year-old, bedridden people [who] were dying," she said.

The paramedic said during the third wave of COVID-19, they kept hearing on the news that "Toronto hospitals were overwhelmed and they were using ambulances to transport people to surrounding hospitals." But after they signed up for a hospital transfer shift, they would "sit there for 12 hours."

"I did one transfer out of a Brampton hospital, but that was it. They eventually cancelled the program because nobody needed to be transferred out of the hospital," they said. "But then I would go home and hear on the news that hospitals were overwhelmed, and yet I had just been to the ICU that day, and seen that the place was half empty. And I thought 'what is going on here? Where are all the COVID patients?'"

The paramedic also claimed that screening for COVID-19 was extremely broad, and any patient with "nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shivers, or shortness of breath" was labelled as COVID positive.

"And that's considered to be everybody. So if you had a breathing problem because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, you were considered COVID positive. I don't know if that's how it worked for the hospital numbers, but that's how we would treat it when we were dispatched," they said.

The paramedic said during the Omicron wave of last winter, when "everybody I knew got sick with COVID," virtually nobody was sick enough to be transferred to hospitals.

"I would say I saw three people that maybe died in 2021, but they were all over 75 years-old and had all the comorbidities. Three people for a whole year. I work full-time in a busy service where I'm doing eight calls a shifts," she said.

But the paramedic said since the vaccine was rolled out, they have seen a large increase in young people experiencing chest pain right after getting vaccinated. They have also seen an uptick in middle-aged people suffering from strokes, and an "enormous amount of people in their 50s and 60s with new-onset heart arrhythmias."

"I have to do a very thorough history. They'll tell me these problems started a month ago, and then a couple questions later they'll say they got their fourth vaccine dose around that same time. I can't tell you how many healthy, older people have gotten their third and four doses, and now they've got these new cardiac issues. It just seems really obvious to me. I don't see unvaccinated people getting this sick."

The paramedic also claimed to be seeing older people with chronic infections that "just keep getting worse and worse."

"They tell me 'I just keep getting worse. I don't know what's going on. I can't get up anymore. I'm weak, I'm nauseated all the time, and I've got his chronic infection I can't seem to recover from.'"

"I've been working for 18 years, and the majority of my patients now are in their last few weeks of life," the paramedic said.

"They're just dying. They're all so, so sick. It's just this general decline in the population."

Stellar's Ecosystem Surges Forward: Smart Contracts, Lightning Speed, and Real-World Impact in 2025

The Stellar blockchain ecosystem is experiencing remarkable momentum in 2025, with groundbreaking technical achievements and expanding real-world adoption that position it as a major player in the decentralized finance landscape. From lightning-fast transaction speeds to innovative smart contract capabilities, Stellar is demonstrating that blockchain technology can deliver both performance and practical utility.

Technical Breakthroughs Drive Performance

The Stellar Development Foundation's Q1 2025 quarterly report reveals impressive technical milestones that showcase the network's maturation. The platform now processes an astounding 5,000 transactions per second with remarkably fast 2.5-second block times, putting it among the fastest blockchain networks in operation today.

This performance leap isn't just about raw numbers—it represents Stellar's commitment to creating infrastructure that can handle real-world demand. Whether it's cross-border payments, asset tokenization, or decentralized applications, the network's enhanced capabilities provide the foundation for scalable blockchain solutions.

Smart Contracts Get Smarter with Soroban

One of the most significant developments has been the launch and continued evolution of Soroban, Stellar's smart contract platform. The introduction of Contract Copilot represents a major advancement in developer experience, enabling faster and safer smart contract development through enhanced tooling and guidance.

This focus on developer experience is crucial for ecosystem growth. By lowering barriers to entry and improving the development process, Stellar is positioning itself to attract innovative projects and talented developers who might otherwise choose competing platforms.

New Token Standards Meet Market Needs

The Stellar Development Foundation has introduced new token standards developed specifically based on feedback from developers and institutional users. This responsive approach to platform development demonstrates Stellar's commitment to building technology that meets actual market needs rather than theoretical requirements.

These standards are particularly important as institutional adoption continues to grow, with organizations requiring robust, compliant, and flexible token frameworks for their blockchain initiatives.

Global USDC Integration Expands Utility

The integration of USDC across Stellar's global network represents a significant milestone for practical cryptocurrency adoption. Stablecoins like USDC provide the price stability necessary for everyday transactions and business operations, making them crucial for blockchain platforms seeking real-world utility.

This integration is particularly impactful in emerging markets, where access to stable digital currencies can provide financial services to underbanked populations and facilitate more efficient cross-border transactions.

Industry Events Build Community Momentum

The Stellar ecosystem's growing influence is evident in its presence at major industry events. The foundation's participation as a sponsor at Consensus 2025 in Toronto and Digital Assets Week in New York demonstrates its commitment to engaging with builders, investors, and institutional leaders across the blockchain space.

These events serve as crucial networking opportunities and platforms for showcasing innovative projects within the Stellar ecosystem. Recent Meridian events have highlighted creative projects like Skyhitz and HoneyCoin, illustrating the collaborative spirit and diverse applications being built on the platform.

Real-World Impact in Emerging Markets

Perhaps most importantly, Stellar's growth isn't just about technical metrics—it's about real-world impact. The platform's focus on emerging markets addresses genuine financial inclusion challenges, providing efficient payment rails and access to digital financial services where traditional banking infrastructure may be limited.

This practical approach to blockchain implementation sets Stellar apart from projects that focus primarily on speculative trading or theoretical use cases. By solving actual problems for real users, Stellar is building sustainable demand for its technology.

Looking Ahead: Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure

Stellar positions itself as offering enterprise-grade asset tokenization alongside its DeFi capabilities and payment infrastructure. This comprehensive approach makes it attractive to institutions looking for a single platform that can handle multiple blockchain use cases.

The combination of fast transactions, low costs, smart contract capabilities, and regulatory-conscious development creates a compelling value proposition for enterprises considering blockchain adoption.

The Road Forward

As 2025 progresses, Stellar's ecosystem appears well-positioned for continued growth. The technical infrastructure improvements, developer-focused enhancements, and real-world adoption initiatives create a strong foundation for expanding use cases and user adoption.

The blockchain industry has seen many projects promise revolutionary capabilities, but Stellar's focus on delivering measurable performance improvements and practical solutions suggests a mature approach to blockchain development. With transaction speeds that rival traditional payment systems and growing institutional adoption, Stellar is demonstrating that blockchain technology can move beyond experimental phases into mainstream utility.

For developers, institutions, and users looking for blockchain solutions that prioritize both performance and practical applicability, Stellar's 2025 developments represent significant progress toward a more accessible and useful decentralized financial ecosystem.

Soroban Security Audit Bank: Raising the Standard for Smart Contract Security

The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is deeply committed to helping ensure that the highest security standards are available for projects building on the Stellar network. Last year SDF launched the Soroban Security Audit Bank, an initiative to provide projects access to auditing experts and tooling that are proven to help prevent hacks by catching potential bugs, inefficiencies, and security flaws before contracts go live. Through the Soroban Security Audit Bank, we’re empowering teams building on Soroban with comprehensive security audits from leading audit firms, enhanced readiness support, and robust tooling, significantly elevating the ecosystem’s safety and efficiency.

Since launch, the Soroban Security Audit Bank has successfully conducted over 40 essential audits, deploying over $3 million to support security of the smart contracts on Stellar. Check it out!

 

Ecosystem Success Stories: How the Soroban Audit Bank Drives Security Forward

By making automated formal verification available to developers, in addition to allocating significant budget for securing many of the top DeFi protocols built on top of Stellar, SDF has established a new security standard in the Web3 ecosystem. Mooly Sagiv, Co-Founder of Certora
SDF has been a strong partner as we’ve worked with teams across the Stellar ecosystem. SDF’s Audit Bank initiative allows for a smooth and streamlined review process, and is a clear reflection of the Stellar ecosystem’s enhanced commitment to security. Robert Chen, CEO of OtterSec
 

Leading projects within the Soroban ecosystem have highlighted the impact of the Audit Bank

What's New in 2025: Enhanced Audit Support for Soroban Builders

Teams building financial protocols, high-dependency data services, high-traction dApps funded by the Stellar Community Fund are able to request an audit and will typically be matched with a reputable audit firm within two weeks. We recently restructured the program for this year to enhance audit efficiency and incentivize accountability, and rapid and complete vulnerability remediation:

  • Complimentary Initial Audit: Projects will need to contribute 5% of the audit cost upfront, but this co-payment amount is eligible for a full refund, provided that critical, high, and medium vulnerabilities identified are swiftly remediated within 20 business days of receiving the initial audit report (learn more).
  • Incentivized Security at Key Traction Milestones: Complimentary, extensive follow-up audits are available as projects achieve critical traction milestones (e.g., $10M and $100M TVL). These audits include deeper assessments such as formal verification or competitive audits, significantly boosting project security at pivotal stages.
  • Advanced Security Tooling: Projects can enhance their security self-serve through complimentary or discounted access to specialized tooling, which provide vulnerability detection and formal verification capabilities (see full list of available tooling). These tools are encouraged to capture ‘easy-to-spot’ issues prior to audit as well as a final check post-audit to increase the effectiveness and thoroughness of audits.
  • Enhanced Audit Readiness Support: Projects receive structured preparation support, including the implementation of best practices and security standards based on the STRIDE threat modeling framework. This ensures project teams are thoroughly prepared, optimizing audit efficiency and minimizing delays.

Santander mulls stablecoin, crypto offering

Bloomberg reported that Banco Santander is mulling introducing euro and dollar stablecoins, or potentially making a third party coin available to clients, citing sources. This move aligns with broader crypto ambitions, as its digital bank, Openbank, has reportedly applied for a European cryptocurrency license under the Mica Regulations and may enable retail access to digital assets.

Systemically important banks embrace stablecoins?

Major banks are now moving from observers to participants in this expanding market. Should Santander confirm plans to launch a stablecoin, it will be the fourth global systemically important bank (G-SIB) to do so. Societe Generale’s FORGE subsidiary launched the EURCV euro coin in 2023. Deutsche Bank is a partner in ALLUnity, another stablecoin initiative with plans to launch this year, subject to regulatory approval. And Standard Chartered is part of a joint venture in Hong Kong that intends to introduce a stablecoin.

Santander’s involvement could extend beyond an individual initiative. The bank is a shareholder in The Clearing House, where the Wall Street Journal reported that US banks are exploring the potential to create a joint stablecoin. If a US initiative took that route it could involve nine more G-SIBs including Bank of America, Barclays, BMO, BNY Mellon, Citi, HSBC, JP Morgan, TD Bank and Wells Fargo.

Apart from these initiatives, our research shows that more than 20 other banks have been involved in stablecoin projects.

Until recently stablecoins were mainly used to settle cryptocurrency transactions and by residents in countries with volatile domestic currencies. During the last year stablecoin infrastructure has been expanding, especially for mainstream cross border payments. Plus, President Trump issued an executive order prioritizing stablecoins. One of the administration’s motivations is this increases demand for US Treasuries, lowering the interest rate the government pays on the Treasury bills.

Santander as an early digital assets mover

Santander’s stablecoin consideration builds on years of blockchain experience. The bank was an early Ripple investor and previously used Ripple’s permissioned network for payments (not XRP), while also embracing permissionless blockchain activities including issuing a digital bond on Ethereum in 2019. This dual approach led to collaborations with other major players – alongside Societe Generale FORGE and Goldman Sachs, Santander participated in the European Investment Bank’s first digital bond, also on Ethereum. Currently, the bank’s most significant digital money initiative involves Fnality, the wholesale blockchain-based settlement network, where Santander ranks among 20 institutional backers and is part of the early adopter group alongside Lloyds Bank and UBS.
