Kevin Homer is a Seventh-day Adventist who graduated from Southwestern Adventist University before going on to medical school. Full disclosure: I’ve known Kevin for over 40 years, since we were in the SDA high school in Keene (Chisholm Trail Academy); he was a couple of grades ahead of me, in my sister’s class.
Dr. Homer is a pathologist, as was his late father, Ladon Homer. Also like his father, who was an LLU graduate, Kevin has been the medical director of Huguley Hospital (a formerly Adventist hospital in Burleson, Texas, which is now 51% owned by Texas Health), among many other professional accomplishments. When he says, as he does on “War Room” with Steve Bannon, “I’m just a humble doctor,” don’t believe him. He is extremely intelligent, one of the sharpest minds I have ever met. Just check out his accomplishments.
Dr. Homer now runs a successful pathology practice in Burleson; seemingly, he has a lot to lose. And yet he has entered the acrimonious and professionally dangerous Covid-19 vaccination fray on the side of science and common sense.
On his blog page, he notes that vaccine passports aren’t going to work. In a blog post entitled “Vaccination Card Folly,” Kevin tells about his own experience with the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine—how, over the course of just a few months, it lost its effectiveness:
“Do vaccination cards keep us safe?
“Before I answer that question, I’d like to tell a personal story. I took a single dose Janssen vaccine March 15, 2021. I measured my spike protein antibodies on May 20 to make sure that the vaccine worked; my test was positive with an index level of 1.4. Last Thursday, August 12, I measured my antibodies again. They were negative. I have a vaccination card that I can use to sit in a New York City restaurant, attend a concert at SFJAZZ, live on a university campus, or work at a hospital that has mandated vaccines. Even if H.R. 4980 becomes law, I will be able to travel on an airplane in the United States. Yet not even five months since my vaccination, there is no longer evidence of antibody-based immunity in my blood.
“My story is another example of the folly of making universal vaccination the primary objective of the pandemic response. Vaccine mandates by restaurants, employers, airlines, colleges, and entertainment venues are based on the flawed assumption that vaccinated people are safe, clean, and not dangerous to others. There is undeniable evidence that breakthrough infections occur, that the vaccinated can spread the disease, and that vaccinated individuals can die of the disease. It’s becoming clear that eradication is no longer possible.
“There is also mounting evidence that vaccines are associated with significant side effects that affect the health and well-being of individuals. Expect more evidence to emerge. We do not yet know the whole story.
He’s a pathologist, and obviously very capable of testing his own blood for anti-bodies, so why not do so?
In a profession in which authority flows from the top down, it is refreshing to hear a doctor rely on his own training, professional experience, and judgment, rather than just accept what the “authorities” say.
It is also nice to find a doctor with common sense. In a blog post entitled “common sense,” he states that, in a time when staff is stretched to the limit, it is not a good idea to fire nurses and other staff who don’t want to get the vaccine:
“As SARS-CoV-2 infections are increasing and some parts of the country are experiencing their highest rates of the pandemic, we face a medical shortage. In Texas, the supply of staffed hospital beds is shrinking, and some communities are out of ICU beds. Staffing shortages are becoming critical. Is this the time to fire doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals for refusing a COVID vaccine?
Many people feel sick after a COVID vaccination, and some of those people won’t be able to come to work. The Janssen vaccine isn’t fully effective for two weeks after the shot. It takes five weeks for Pfizer and six for Moderna. Meanwhile, hospitals are short on beds, and even shorter on staff. Which will save more lives—fully vaccinated healthcare workers or staffed hospital beds?
The healthcare community has managed COVID surges without vaccine before, and we can do it again. The universal vaccination of healthcare workers achieves no benefit that justifies the violation of individual liberty required to achieve this goal. You may disagree with me. We should have that debate.
But right now, those of us who work at hospitals have our hands full taking care of COVID patients. Can we talk about this later?”
But it isn’t wrong to force just health-care workers to be vaccinated. It is wrong to force anyone to be vaccinated. Vaccine mandates are wrong:
“Once we lose the freedom to evaluate and choose risks for ourselves, we lose the liberties at the foundation of our nation. When vaccines are mandated by a government or an employer, the right to choose what we want to put in our bodies is taken away from us. When we lose this liberty, how long until we also lose the freedom to associate with those we wish, to worship as we please, to speak our minds, or to choose which path we wish for our lives?”
In “Leaky Vaccines,” Dr. Homer notes that the Covid-19 vaccines do not prevent the vaccinated person from becoming infected, do not prevent him from spreading the infection, and do not even provide elevated antibodies for more than about six months. Moreover, these leaky vaccines 1) convey a false sense of security, 2) will never eradicate the virus, and 3) might steer mutations to the spike protein, such that the vaccine won’t even attack the mutated virus.
Dr. Homer’s blogging brought him to the attention of Steve Bannon, who hosts a show called “War Room,” a podcast/radio show/TV show, carried by the Real America’s Voice network. His first appearance on “War Room” is hosted on Rumble; Kevin comes on at the 16:20 mark:

TRANSCRIPT:
Steve Bannon: Dr. Homer, what is a Pathologist, what do you do during the day, and why do you have a voice—Dr. Malone is a vaccinologist, you’re a pathologist—why do pathologists have a role in this and a voice in this, sir?
Kevin Homer: Thank you, Steve, it’s a real honor to be on your show and I really appreciate the opportunity. I am a pathologist, a pathologist is the doctor that works in a laboratory, and I work in a couple of community hospital laboratories in north Texas. I’m not a scientist like Dr. Malone is. I don’t know Dr. Fauci, I don’t have a lot of connections in Washington DC. I’m a practitioner. I go to work in a hospital every day.
My job is to make sure that the test results coming out of the laboratories where I work are accurate, precise, clinically relevant, timely, and clearly communicated. Because when I do my job well, doctors have clear, reliable information, they can make good decisions for their patients, and patients get better. If I do my job poorly, doctors have muddled information, they make poor decisions, and patients suffer. And I don’t like that. I feel good when I know my work is helping patients.
Last year I started writing a blog, because I saw a lot of muddled information about the pandemic, especially as it relates to laboratory testing. So I tried to go through and, in clear simple language, try to explain things. Later, this year after I’d been writing the blog, I began to notice some things coming out of the CDC that bothered me, that I couldn’t make sense of. I’m just a humble doctor, but they didn’t make sense to me. For example, why does the CDC still today so adamantly insist that we vaccinate people who’ve survived Covid? I can’t remember any time in my training that we’ve said such a thing, that you would vaccinate people who’ve already had the disease you’re vaccinating them against.
Steve Bannon: Because . . . in the disease you [develop] antibodies and even they admit, none of the vaccines come close to the antibodies you have after you’ve had the disease. Is that basically, in layman’s simplicity, exactly what it is, and why it is so shocking they demand that [even] if you’ve had the disease you get vaccinated?
Kevin Homer: Well, yes, if you’ve been exposed to the whole virus, your immune system probably has a number of places on the virus that it is able to recognize the virus as a virus and attack it. If you take a vaccine, what’s happening is you’re being exposed to a little portion of the virus, just the pointy end of the spike protein. . . . and that’s why we’ve never said that vaccine-induced immunity is superior to diseased-induced immunity. I just can’t remember that ever being the case.
Now we have said—people do risk/benefit analysis, right?—”now this is a terrible disease, you don’t want this disease, this vaccine has very little risk associated with it, so take the vaccine, avoid the disease.” But if you’ve already had the disease, then why take the risk of the vaccine on top of it? That makes no sense to me!
I’ve looked through their reasons for stating this and they don’t make sense to me. The first reason is just false on its face: They say, “we don’t know how long disease-induced immunity is going to last so take a vaccine,” but we don’t know how long vaccine induced immunity lasts; in fact, its becoming pretty clear: not that long.
And then the other thing they say is “well, not everybody gets the same immune response. Some people just get a touch of Covid; the vaccine is a measured amount, so we want everyone to have the full measure of the immunity, so everybody’s got to take the vaccine.” Well, they say that without even defining the level of immunity necessary to fight the disease . . .
Steve Bannon: Why is CDC doing this? Why is CDC doing this? They’ve never done it before, why are they doing it now?
You know, that’s a really good question and I’ve got to say, I’ve got a great deal of respect for the CDC throughout my whole career. They’ve been behind the [curve] sometimes but we look to them for answers in the medical community. We really do. We trust their data, we trust what they say. So it does kind of boggle my mind. I don’t have a good answer for that. I’ve got three speculative ideas, but I can’t really answer the question.
The other thing that they say that I don’t understand at all—and this is directly in my world as a pathologist—is they say “don’t test! If you get the vaccine, you don’t need to be testing antibodies afterward to make sure the vaccine worked. Don’t be testing antibodies before you get the vaccine to see if you actually need one.” Well that’s—we’ve never done that. We always test. We don’t want to give people—the [Hippocratic] oath, right, [is] “do no harm”—you don’t want to give people an added risk for something they will have no benefit from. In my book, that’s harm. So that just doesn’t make sense to me.
But it gets even worse than that. Now we see, right at the very top of the CDC, the director of the CDC calling this “a pandemic of the un-vaccinated.” We are getting this division between the vaccinated and the un-vaccinated . . .
Steve Bannon: Is that a lie? When she says that, is that a lie?
Kevin Homer: To me it is.
Steve Bannon: Why?
The CDC’s MMWR report that came out a week ago Friday on a community of highly vaccinated individuals in [Barnstable County] Massachusetts shocked some people because three fourths of the cases were in fully vaccinated individuals. And when they measured the viral loads between vaccinated and un-vaccinated, they were identical.
You know, the other thing they say is “if you take the vaccine, you don’t have to go to the hospital [because] you don’t get that sick.” Well in this particular report—small study, emerging data, we’ve got to watch it and not draw sweeping conclusions—but four out of five patients who were sick enough to be hospitalized had been fully vaccinated. So it does not make sense that the fully vaccinated are not spreading the disease.
I mean, you just have to follow Texas politics and see what happened in that plane that took the Democrats to Washington DC to avoid sitting in the legislature. They were all vaccinated; they all got sick.
Steve Bannon: Your warning today to people would be what? . . .What would be your recommendation to this audience of what they must do today.
Look, when we divide people we lose trust in each other, just like I’ve kind of lost a little trust in the CDC because they don’t seem to be telling us the truth. People need to be making individual decisions. . . . For some people it makes great sense to take a vaccine, because their risk of dying from Covid is very high. For other people, it doesn’t.
I’ve got a good friend who called me last night, a colleague, a young researcher. He said, “I’m not a basic science researcher, but I can read the data, and I have calculated that my risk of dying from Covid is astronomically low, and my risk from the vaccine is also low, but a little higher than dying from Covid. I’m not going to take it, and they’re making me take it.”
END TRANSCRIPT
Kevin made a subsequent appearance on “War Room,” the second time jointly with Dr. Robert Malone, one of the inventors of the mRNA vaccine technology. In that segment, he talks about his own experience with the J&J vaccine, to wit, that he had no detectable antibodies after five months. But the “authorities,” including Anthony Fauci, keep saying, “Don’t test, don’t test.”
