\n\u201cThe world has bet the farm on vaccines as the solution to the pandemic, but the trials are not focused on answering the questions many might assume they are.\u201d

\nAlbert Einstein<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe new Covid vaccines will make billions of dollars for the big pharmaceutical companies, but here\u2019s what they won\u2019t do:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
- The vaccines will not cure Covid<\/li>\n
- The vaccines will not prevent people from contracting Covid<\/li>\n
- The vaccines will not prevent Covid-related hospitalizations<\/li>\n
- The vaccines will not prevent Covid-caused deaths<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Now, I know what you\u2019re thinking. You\u2019re thinking, \u201cIf the vaccine does not protect me from getting Covid (or dying from Covid), then why should I take it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
And the answer is: \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t. It makes no sense at all, especially in view of the fact that new vaccines pose considerable risks to one\u2019s health and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cRisks,\u201d you say? \u201cNo one said anything about risks. I thought this wonderful new Covid cure was entirely risk-free; just take the jab and\u2013 Presto\u2013 life goes back to normal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
Wrong. There are risks, significant risks that the media and the medical establishment have papered-over with their ridiculous Happy Talk about \u201cmiracle\u201d vaccines. But all of this is just public relations hype designed to hoodwink people into injecting themselves with a dubious substance that does NOT do what it\u2019s supposed to do, and which DOES pose serious long-term risks to one\u2019s health.<\/span><\/p>\n
So, let\u2019s dig a little deeper into this question of risks and see what are the experts saying. Check out this excerpt from an \u201cOpen Letter From: UK Medical Freedom Alliance To: The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization\u2026 for COVID-19 in the UK.\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt is worrying that recent Parliamentary discussions seem to not attach proper weight to any concern about vaccine risks and the right to informed consent, while focusing solely on strategies to increase the uptake of vaccines in the general population.<\/span><\/p>\n
Inadequate Assessment of the Public Health Risk from a Covid Vaccine<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
In a recent letter to the British Medical Journal (BMJ), physician Arvind Joshi warned against the disaster that could result from this misguided policy and outlined the serious risks involved to the public and other serious issues that are being taken if a Covid Vaccine is rushed out without thorough and adequate safety and efficacy testing<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cAdverse effects like Subacute Sclerosing Pan Encephalitis, Ascending Polyneuritis, Myopathies, Autoimmune Diseases, and rarer chance of triggering development of malignancies are most dreaded possibilities.\u201c...\u201cThe rush for the Vaccines should not lead to disaster.\u201d<\/b>\u00a0(Note: There is a more comprehensive list of potential \u2018bad outcomes\u2019 in the link to the article.)<\/span><\/p>\n
Virus-vectored and\u00a0genetically engineered vaccines<\/b>\u00a0could undergo recombination or hybridization with\u00a0unpredictable outcomes.<\/b>\u2026Previous attempts to develop coronavirus and other vaccines e.g., RSV and dengue, have been hampered by the problem of \u2018antibody dependent enhanced immunity\u2019(ADEI),\u00a0which has led to severe illness and deaths in the animals and human subjects<\/b>\u00a0involved in the trials28. This phenomenon only becomes apparent after vaccination, when the subject is exposed to wild virus at some point in the future. Worryingly, the\u00a0Covid Vaccine trials have not been conducted in a way to exclude the possibility of this serious sequalae occurring months or years after vaccination.<\/b>..<\/span><\/p>\n
Late onset adverse vaccine effects such as Subacute Sclerosing Pan Encephalitis (SSPE),Ascending Polyneuritis, Myopathies, Autoimmune Diseases, Infertility and Cancers cannot be ruled out with short duration trials.\u201d (\u201cOpen Letter From: UK Medical Freedom Alliance To: The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization\u2026 for COVID-19 in the UK<\/a>.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s all very technical, but the truth is plain to see: There are serious risks associated with taking the Covid-19 vaccine. Most vaccine recipients will experience only minor aches and pains but some will undoubtedly get quite ill and permanently damage their health. No one really knows for sure because there have been no long-term trials. The Covid vaccine has been fast-tracked from Day 1. So, the question is: Do the benefits outweigh the risks. And, in this case, they clearly don\u2019t. The chances of getting violently sick or dying from Covid are very slight, (IFR is 1 in 400) while the (potential) adverse effects from the vaccine are spelled out above. Why would anyone roll the dice on a vaccine that does not prevent one from contracting Covid, does not protect one from hospitalization, and will not prevent one from dying? That\u2019s just not a good tradeoff. Here\u2019s more from an article at Forbes:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n\u201cPrevention of infection must be a critical endpoint\u2026(But)\u00a0Prevention of infection is not a criterion for success for any of these vaccines.<\/b>\u00a0In fact, their endpoints all require confirmed infections and all those they will include in the analysis for success, the only difference being the severity of symptoms between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Measuring differences amongst only those infected by SARS-CoV-2 underscores the implicit conclusion that\u00a0the vaccines are not expected to prevent infection, only modify symptoms of those infected<\/b>\u201c\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWe all expect an effective vaccine to prevent serious illness if infected.\u00a0Three of the vaccine protocols\u2026do not require that their vaccine prevent serious disease only that they prevent moderate symptoms<\/b>\u00a0which may be as mild as cough, or headache.\u201d (\u201cCovid-19 Vaccine Protocols Reveal That Trials Are Designed To Succeed\u201d<\/a>,\u00a0Forbes<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Can you see what\u2019s going on? \u201cPrevention\u201d is not even a primary objective. The standard for success in these trials is whether the vaccine mitigates Covid symptoms in people who test positive. But who cares about symptoms? What people care about is dying. That\u2019s why people are so eager to get vaccinated, because they think it will eliminate the threat of dying.<\/span><\/p>\n
This is a critical point, and one that is well worth mulling over.<\/span><\/p>\n
Why?<\/span><\/p>\n
Because it helps to illustrate how the vaccine campaign is built on a foundation of lies and deception. For example, when the drug companies boast that their product is \u201c95% effective\u201d, it does NOT mean that\u2013 if you get vaccinated\u2013 you will be immune to Covid. It doesn\u2019t even mean that you won\u2019t get violently ill and die. All it means is that the vaccine reduced the symptoms of some of the people in the trials who tested positive.<\/span><\/p>\n
Did you know that?<\/span><\/p>\n
Of course, you didn\u2019t. You thought that if you took the vaccine, you\u2019d be protected from Covid, because that is the logical assumption that anyone would make. Most people equate vaccines with immunity. The drug companies know that which is why they\u2019re exploiting people\u2019s ignorance and deliberately obfuscating the truth. They want people to continue to believe that vaccination is a protective shield that will save them from sickness and death. But it\u2019s not. It\u2019s a bunch of baloney.<\/span><\/p>\n
Bottom line: Vaccine \u201ceffectiveness\u201d is not measured in terms of \u201cpreventing infection\u201d. It relates to the vaccine\u2019s impact on symptoms. Here\u2019s more from Forbes:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n\u201cOne of the more immediate questions a trial needs to answer is whether a vaccine prevents infection. If someone takes this vaccine, are they far less likely to become infected with the virus? These trials all clearly focus on eliminating symptoms of Covid-19, and not infections themselves\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n
It appears that all the pharmaceutical companies assume that the vaccine will never prevent infection.<\/b>\u00a0Their criteria for approval is the difference in symptoms between an infected control group and an infected vaccine group. \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
A greater concern for the millions of older people and those with preexisting conditions is whether these trials test the vaccine\u2019s ability to prevent severe illness and death. Again, we find that\u00a0severe illness and death are only secondary objectives in these trials. None list the prevention of death and hospitalization as a critically important barrier<\/b>\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n
These protocols do not emphasize the most important ramifications of Covid-19 that people are most interested in preventing: overall infection, hospitalization, and death<\/b>. It boggles the mind and defies common sense that the National Institute of Health, the Center for Disease Control, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, and the rest would consider the approval of a vaccine that would be distributed to hundreds of millions on such slender threads of success.<\/span><\/p>\n
It appears that\u00a0these trials are intended to pass the lowest possible barrier of success.\u201d<\/b>\u00a0(\u201cCovid-19 Vaccine Protocols Reveal That Trials Are Designed To Succeed<\/a>\u201c,\u00a0Forbes<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The author is right, isn\u2019t he? If the vaccine doesn\u2019t prevent infection, it\u2019s not worth taking. Period. And yet, all these high-falutin organizations are on-board with this farce. It\u2019s a disgrace. We\u2019re not even talking about a \u201clow bar\u201d for success here. We\u2019re talking about \u201cno bar\u201d. If people are concerned about symptoms, they\u2019d be better off taking an aspirin and leaving it at that. There\u2019s no need to inject themselves with some hybrid cocktail that no one has the slightest idea of what the long-term effects might be. That\u2019s just reckless.<\/span><\/p>\n
Like we said earlier, the real issues are being cleverly concealed by the people in charge who are hyping the \u201c95% effective\u201d nonsense to hoodwink people into cooperating. It\u2019s blatantly dishonest.<\/span><\/p>\n
And here\u2019s something else to think over: What do we really know about these miraculous vaccines that are supposed to lead us out of our \u201cpublic health crisis\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n
Not much. We know that they\u2019re being rushed to market. We know that they were delayed for political reasons. We know the science is being shaped by the politics. We know that vaccine development typically takes 10 years, and that \u201crushed\u201d vaccine development takes 3 years, and that the upcoming batch of dubious vaccines will have taken roughly 8 months.<\/span><\/p>\n
8 months!<\/span><\/p>\n
Do you find that reassuring? Does that make you want to push your way to the front of the line on Vaccine Day? And are you surprised that a large sampling of medical professionals has decided they aren\u2019t going to take the vaccine until it\u2019s been out for at least a year??<\/span><\/p>\n
And here\u2019s another thing: The pharmaceutical giants don\u2019t even know if their vaccines will stop transmission or not. I\u2019m not kidding, they really don\u2019t know. So\u2013 along with the fact that the vaccine will not provide immunity\u2013 it also will not stop the spread of the infection which means, the pandemic will continue.<\/span><\/p>\n
Don\u2019t you think the public is entitled to know this?<\/span><\/p>\n
And let\u2019s not forget that these so called \u201cvaccines\u201d don\u2019t really fit the traditional definition of vaccine at all. The CDC defines a vaccine as: \u201cA product that stimulates a person\u2019s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
And the CDC defines \u201cimmunization\u201d as:<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cA process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
Well, we\u2019ve already shown that the new vaccines do not necessarily provide immunity, so the question is whether they actually \u201cstimulate a person\u2019s immune system\u201d or if the \u201cvaccine\u201d moniker was simply preserved as a promotional device to dupe the public? Here\u2019s some background from an article at RT:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe type of vaccine being developed against Covid-19 has never been used before, outside of Ebola. Some people feel that they should not really be called vaccines, because they are completely different from anything that has gone before.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
Up to now, vaccination has meant injecting a dead virus (or bacteria), or one that has been weakened and can only poorly replicate, or parts of the virus, or suchlike. Once inside the body, the immune system spots this \u2018alien\u2019 material, and creates a response against it, which will hopefully be remembered for years and years. The next time the dangerous virus appears, the body will use the immune memory of something very similar, to wipe out the virus (or bacteria) at high speed, giving it no chance to do damage<\/span><\/p>\n
Now, we have a thing called a messenger RNA vaccine (mRNA). RNA is, effectively, a single strand of DNA \u2013 the double helix that sits within our cells and makes up our genetic code<\/b>. Many viruses are made up of a single strand of RNA, surrounded by a protein sphere. They enter the cell, take over the replication systems, make thousands of copies of themselves, then exit the cell. Sometimes killing the cell as they do so, sometimes exiting more gently. Covid19 (Sars-Cov2) is an RNA virus.<\/span><\/p>\n
Knowing this, rather than attempting to create a weakened virus, which can take years, or break the virus into bits, the v\u00a0accine researchers decided to use Sars-Cov2\u2019s RNA against itself. To do this, they isolated the section of RNA which codes for the \u2018spike\u2019 protein\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 which is the thing the virus uses as a \u2018key\u2019 to enter cells\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
These spike proteins then leave the cell \u2013 somehow or other, this bit is unclear. The immune system comes across them, recognizes them as \u2018alien\u2019 and attacks. In doing so, antibodies are created, and the immune memory system kicks into action. If, later on, a Sars-Cov2 virus gets into the body, the immune system fires up and attacks the remembered spike protein. Hopefully killing the entire virus.\u201d (\u201cAs a doctor, people ask me if it\u2019s safe to take a new Covid vaccine<\/a>\u201c,\u00a0RT<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s all very complicated and cutting-edge, but what\u2019s clear is that \u201cMessenger RNA\u201d and \u201cspike\u2019 protein\u201d are a far-cry from plain-old dead virus which has worked just fine for decades. It\u2019s hard to understand why the drug companies decided to reinvent the wheel in trying to settle on an antidote for Covid. Even so, this new state-of-the-art technology does have its drawbacks as was pointed out in the letter by the researchers in the Medical Freedom Alliance. Here\u2019s what they said:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n\u201cSeveral Covid Vaccines involve the use of a completely new technology -mRNA vaccination -whose large-scale use in healthy human subjects is unprecedented and long-term effects unknown.<\/b>\u00a0Exogenous mRNA is inherently immunostimulatory, and this feature of mRNA could be beneficial or detrimental. In addition, a study found evidence of molecular mimicry \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
Virus-vectored and genetically engineered vaccines could undergo<\/b>\u00a0recombination or hybridisation with\u00a0unpredictable outcomes<\/b>\u2026.Previous attempts to develop coronavirus and other vaccines e.g., RSV and dengue, have been hampered by the problem of \u2018antibody dependent enhanced immunity\u2019(ADEI),\u00a0which has led to severe illness and deaths in the animals and human subjects involved in the trials.\u00a0<\/b>This phenomenon only becomes apparent after vaccination, when the subject is exposed to wild virus at some point in the future.\u00a0Worryingly, the Covid Vaccine trials have not been conducted in a way to exclude the possibility of this serious sequalae occurring months or years after vaccination.\u201d<\/b>\u00a0(\u201cOpen Letter From: UK Medical Freedom Alliance To: The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization\u2026 for COVID-19 in the UK.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The point is, the effects of injecting a hybrid concoction into one\u2019s body could be quite serious. We just don\u2019t know what the long-term effects will be, and we probably won\u2019t know because the vaccine is going to be rushed into distribution before those trials can be conducted. This is not a sensible strategy for dealing with the virus. It is needlessly reckless and, perhaps, lethal. Here\u2019s more from an article at the Jerusalem Post:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere is a race to get the public vaccinated, so we are willing to take more risks,\u201d<\/b>\u00a0Tal Brosh, head of the Infectious Disease Unit at Samson Assuta Ashdod Hospital, told The Jerusalem Post\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWe will have a safety profile for only a certain number of months, so if there is a long-term effect after two years, we cannot know,\u201d<\/b>\u00a0Brosh said, adding that we could wait two years to discover them, \u201cbut then we would have the coronavirus for two more years.\u201d\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
(Brosh) acknowledged that there are unique and unknown risks to messenger RNA vaccines, including local and systemic inflammatory responses that could lead to autoimmune conditions\u2026.. An article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a division of the National Institutes of Health, said\u00a0other risks include the bio-distribution and persistence of the induced immunogen expression; possible development of auto-reactive antibodies; and toxic effects of any non-native nucleotides and delivery system components\u2026<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
(Michal) Linial ( a professor of biological chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, ) expressed similar sentiments: \u201cClassical vaccines were designed to take 10 years to develop. I don\u2019t think the world can wait for a classical vaccine.\u201d\u2026.But\u00a0when asked if she would take the vaccine right away, she responded: \u201cI won\u2019t be taking it immediately \u2013 probably not for at least the coming year,\u201d<\/b>\u00a0she told the Post. \u201cWe have to wait and see whether it really works.\u201d<\/b>\u00a0(\u201cCould mRNA COVID-19 vaccines be dangerous in the long-term?<\/a>\u201c,\u00a0The Jerusalem Post<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Great, so the \u201cprofessor of biological chemistry\u201d isn\u2019t going to take the vaccine, but it\u2019s okay for ordinary people like you and me??<\/span><\/p>\n
Give me a break. Professor Linial\u2019s reluctance is a tacit admission that the vaccine is not safe. What else could it mean? Here\u2019s more from the same article:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn order to receive Food and Drug Administration approval, the companies will have to prove there are no immediate or short-term negative health effects from taking the vaccines. But\u00a0when the world begins inoculating itself with these completely new and revolutionary vaccines, it will know virtually nothing about their long-term effects.\u201d (<\/b>The Jerusalem Post<\/em>)
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nWell, that\u2019s just dandy. We know the vaccines won\u2019t prevent infection, hospitalization or death. We also know they are \u201care completely different from anything that has gone before\u201d. We also know they won\u2019t stop transmission, and that their long-term safety is very much in doubt. Even so, our leaders\u2013 who lie to us about virtually everything\u2013 want us to click our heels and submissively take \u201cthe jab\u201d whether we want to or not.<\/span><\/p>\n
In my opinion, the risks of vaccination far outweigh the benefits. I would rather trust my own auto-immune system (and the new treatments, medications and therapies) then be guinea pig in Big Pharma\u2019s sinister lab experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n
