In other words, it wants governments to guarantee the company will be compensated for any expenses resulting from injury lawsuits against it.<\/p>\n<p>WION reports that Argentina and Brazil have rejected Pfizer\u2019s demands. Initially, the company demanded indemnification legislation to be enacted, such as that which it enjoys in the U.S. Argentina proposed legislation that would restrict Pfizer\u2019s financial responsibility for injuries to those resulting from negligence or malice.<\/p>\n<p>Pfizer rejected the proposal. It also rejected a rewritten proposal that included a clearer definition of negligence. Pfizer then demanded the Argentinian government put up sovereign assets \u2014 including its bank reserves, military bases and embassy buildings \u2014 as collateral. Argentina refused. A similar situation occurred in Brazil. Pfizer demanded Brazil:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\u201cWaive sovereignty of its assets abroad in favor of Pfizer.\u201d<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Not apply its domestic laws to the company.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Not penalize Pfizer for vaccine delivery delays.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Exempt Pfizer from all civil liability for side effects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Brazil rejected Pfizer\u2019s demands, calling them \u201cabusive.\u201d As noted by WION, Pfizer developed its vaccine with the help of government funding, and now it \u2014 a private company \u2014 is demanding governments hand over sovereign assets to ensure the company won\u2019t lose a dime if its product injures people, even if those injuries are the result of negligent company practices, fraud or malice.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Argentina and Brazil, nine other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2021\/02\/23\/pfizer-plays-hardball-in-covid19-vaccine-negotiations-in-latin-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South American countries<\/a> have reportedly negotiated deals with Pfizer.

[This] seems to be exactly what they\u2019re doing \u2026 Some liability protection is warranted, but certainly not for fraud, gross negligence, mismanagement, failure to follow good manufacturing practices. Companies have no right to ask for indemnity for these things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Eccleston-Turner, a lecturer in global health law at Keele University in England, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2021\/02\/23\/pfizer-plays-hardball-in-covid19-vaccine-negotiations-in-latin-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">added<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Pfizer] is trying to eke out as much profit and minimize its risk at every juncture with this vaccine development then this vaccine rollout. Now, the vaccine development has been heavily subsidized already. So there\u2019s very minimal risk for the manufacturer involved there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t expect compensation if injured by COVID-19 vaccine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the U.S., vaccine makers already enjoy full indemnity against injuries occurring from this or any other pandemic vaccine under the PREP Act. If you\u2019re injured, you\u2019d have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrsa.gov\/cicp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">file a compensation claim<\/a> with the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), which is funded by U.S. taxpayers via Congressional appropriation to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).<\/p>\n<p>While similar to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), which applies to nonpandemic vaccines, the CICP is even less generous when it comes to compensation. For example, while the NVICP pays some of the costs associated with any given claim, the CICP does not. This means you\u2019ll also be responsible for attorney fees and expert witness fees.<\/p>\n<p>A significant problem with the CICP is that it\u2019s administered within the DHHS, which is also sponsoring the COVID-19 vaccination program. This conflict of interest makes the CICP less than likely to find fault with the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Your only route of appeal is within the DHHS, where your case would simply be reviewed by another employee. The DHHS is also responsible for making the payment, so the DHHS effectively acts as judge, jury and defendant. As <a href=\"https:\/\/anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com\/2020\/12\/what-happens-if-something-goes-wrong.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported by<\/a> Dr. Meryl Nass, the maximum payout you can receive \u2014 even in cases of permanent disability or death \u2014 is $250,000 per person; however, you\u2019d have to exhaust your private insurance policy before the CICP gives you a dime.<\/p>\n<p>CICP will only pay the difference between what your insurance covers and the total payout amount established for your case. For permanent disability, even $250,000 won\u2019t go far. The CICP also has a one year statute of limitations, so you have to act quickly.<\/p>\n<p>This too is a significant problem, as no one really knows what injuries might arise from the COVID-19 vaccine, or when, and this makes tying the injury to the vaccination a difficult prospect. <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/under-federal-law-can-your-employer-make-you-get-covid-vaccine\/\">Employers that mandate<\/a> the COVID-19 vaccine will also be indemnified from liability for side effects. Instead, claims will be routed through worker\u2019s compensation programs.<\/p>\n<p>If the COVID-19 vaccines are as safe as the manufacturers claim, why do they insist on so much indemnification? Do they suspect or know something they\u2019re refusing to admit publicly?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Side effects are inevitable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, those of us who have been looking at the science behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/news\/editorial\/an-mrna-vaccine-against-sars-cov-2-preliminary-report-a-researcher-reacts\/\">mRNA<\/a>technology used to create these novel \u201cvaccines\u201d have long since realized there are tremendous risks involved. For starters, <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/news\/components-of-mrna-technology-could-lead-to-significant-adverse-events-in-one-or-more-of-our-clinical-trials-says-moderna\/\">mRNA vaccines<\/a> are most accurately referred to as gene therapies, as this is what they are.<\/p>\n<p>They effectively turn your cells into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/2021\/02\/05\/1017366\/messenger-rna-vaccines-covid-hiv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bioreactors<\/a> that churn out viral proteins to incite an immune response, and there\u2019s no off-switch. Based on historical and preliminary evidence, significant short- and long-term side effects are, quite frankly, inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, your body sees the synthetic mRNA as \u201cnon-self,\u201d which can cause autoantibodies to attack your own tissues. Judy Mikovits, Ph.D., explained this in her interview, featured in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2021\/02\/14\/covid-19-vaccine-gene-therapy.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How COVID-19 \u2018Vaccines\u2019 May Destroy the Lives of Millions<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Free mRNA also drive inflammatory diseases, which is why making synthetic mRNA thermostable \u2014 i.e., slowing the breakdown of the RNA by encasing it in lipid nanoparticles \u2014 is likely to be problematic. The nanoparticles themselves also pose a risk. COVID-19 vaccines use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biologicalmedicineinstitute.com\/post\/covid-19-mrna-vaccines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PEGylated lipid nanoparticles<\/a>, which is known to cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2020\/12\/suspicions-grow-nanoparticles-pfizer-s-covid-19-vaccine-trigger-rare-allergic-reactions\">allergic reactions and anaphylaxis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2017\/01\/10\/moderna-trouble-mrna\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous attempts<\/a> to develop an mRNA-based drug using <a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2021\/02\/10\/nanoparticles-in-moderna-vaccine.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lipid nanoparticles<\/a> failed and had to be abandoned because when the dose was too low, the drug had no effect, and when dosed too high, the drug became too toxic. An obvious question is: What has changed that now makes this technology safe enough for mass use?<\/p>\n<p>As detailed in my interview with Mikovits, the synthetic RNA influences the gene syncytin, which can result in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Brain inflammation.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Dysregulated communication between the microglia in your brain, which are critical for clearing toxins and pathogens.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Dysregulated immune system.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Dysregulated endocannabinoid system (which calms inflammation).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pathogenic priming and antibody-dependent enhancement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another significant problem is that we don\u2019t know whether antibody production is protective or pathogenic in coronavirus infections. If pathogenic, vaccinated individuals may be at increased risk of severe illness if they\u2019re exposed to <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/news\/republish\/chds-letter-to-congress-urging-covid-19-origins-investigation\/\">SARS-CoV-2<\/a> in the future. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2590136220300231\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported in a December 11, 2020, Vaccine: X paper<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first SARS-CoV-2 vaccine(s) will likely be licensed based on neutralizing antibodies in Phase 2 trials, but there are significant concerns about using antibody response in coronavirus infections as a sole metric of protective immunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAntibody response is often a poor marker of prior coronavirus infection, particularly in mild infections, and is shorter-lived than virus-reactive T-cells \u2026 Strong antibody response correlates with more severe clinical disease while T-cell response is correlated with less severe disease; and antibody-dependent enhancement of pathology and clinical severity has been described.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, it is unclear whether antibody production is protective or pathogenic in coronavirus infections. Early data with SARS-CoV-2 support these findings. Data from coronavirus infections in animals and humans emphasize the generation of a high-quality T cell response in protective immunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A number of reports in the medical literature have indeed highlighted the risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2021\/01\/26\/covid-vaccine-side-effects.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pathogenic priming and antibody-dependent enhancement<\/a> (ADE). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7311339\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As explained<\/a>in \u201cOut of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire? Due Diligence Warranted for ADE in COVID-19\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cADE is an immunological phenomenon whereby a previous immune response to a virus can render an individual more susceptible to a subsequent analogous infection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than viral recognition and clearance, the prior development of virus-specific antibodies at a non-neutralizing level can facilitate viral uptake, enhancing replication; a possible immune evasion strategy avoiding intracellular innate immune sensors, or pattern recognition receptors \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cADE of SARS-CoV has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkmj.org\/system\/files\/hkm1603sp4p25.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">been described<\/a> through a novel Fc\u03b3RII-dependent and ACE2-independent cell entry mechanism. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkmj.org\/system\/files\/hkm1603sp4p25.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">authors state<\/a>that this warrants concern in the safety evaluation of any candidate human vaccines against SARS-CoV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, \u201cPathogenic Priming Likely Contributes to Serious and Critical Illness and Mortality in COVID-19 Via Autoimmunity,\u201d published in the Journal of Translational Autoimmunity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7142689\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warns that<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFailure of SARS and MERS vaccines in animal trials involved pathogenesis consistent with an immunological priming that could involve autoimmunity in lung tissues due to previous exposure to the SARS and MERS spike protein. Exposure pathogenesis to SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 likely will lead to similar outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, to be clear, what all of this means is that if you get vaccinated, you may actually be at increased risk for serious illness if\/when you\u2019re exposed to any number of mutated SARS-CoV-2 strains in the future.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the recommendation to vaccinate individuals who have previously been infected with SARS-CoV-2, or who have an active SARS-CoV-2 infection, may actually be quite dangerous. Dr. Hooman Noorchashm recently sent a <a href=\"https:\/\/noorchashm.medium.com\/a-public-letter-to-fda-commissioner-dr-c2728667c0bb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public letter<\/a> to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner detailing these risks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How mRNA injections may trigger prion disease<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, in <a href=\"https:\/\/scivisionpub.com\/pdfs\/covid19-rna-based-vaccines-and-the-risk-of-prion-disease-1503.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a paper<\/a> titled, \u201cCOVID-19 RNA Based Vaccines and the Risk of Prion Disease,\u201d published in Microbiology &amp; Infectious Diseases, Dr. Bart Classen warns there are also troubling evidences suggesting some of the mRNA shots may cause prion diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s and ALS. He writes:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the current paper, the concern is raised that the RNA based COVID vaccines have the potential to cause more disease than the epidemic of COVID-19. This paper focuses on a novel potential adverse event mechanism causing prion disease which could be even more common and debilitating than the viral infection the vaccine is designed to prevent \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnalysis of the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19 identified two potential risk factors for inducing prion disease is humans. The RNA sequence in the vaccine contains sequences believed to induce TDP-43 and FUS to aggregate in their prion based conformation leading to the development of common neurodegenerative diseases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn particular it has been shown that RNA sequences GGUA, UG rich sequences, UG tandem repeats, and G Quadruplex sequences, have increased affinity to bind TDP-43 and or FUS and may cause TDP-43 or FUS to take their pathologic configurations in the cytoplasm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the current analysis a total of sixteen UG tandem repeats were identified and additional UG rich sequences were identified. Two GG\u03a8A sequences were found. G Quadruplex sequences are possibly present but sophisticated computer programs are needed to verify these.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe spike protein encoded by the vaccine binds angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), an enzyme which contains zinc molecules. The binding of spike protein to ACE2 has the potential to release the zinc molecule, an ion that causes TDP-43 to assume its pathologic prion transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>mRNA technology has potential to cause microvascular injury<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Dr. J. Patrick Whelan, a pediatric rheumatologist specializing in multisystem inflammatory syndrome, submitted a <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Whelan-FDA-letter-re-EAU-Pfizer-.pdf\">public comment<\/a> to the FDA back in December 2020, in which he expressed concern that mRNA vaccines have \u201cthe potential to cause microvascular injury to the brain, heart, liver and kidneys in ways that were not assessed in safety trials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He cited research showing that \u201cthe spike protein in brain endothelial cells is associated with formation of microthrombi (clots),\u201d and that since no viral RNA has been found in brain endothelium, \u201cviral proteins appear to cause tissue damage without actively replicating virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it possible the spike protein itself causes the tissue damage associated with Covid-19?\u201d he asks. \u201cIn 13\/13 brains from patients with fatal COVID-19, pseudovirions (spike, envelope, and membrane proteins) without viral RNA are present in the endothelia of cerebral microvessels \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt appears that the viral spike protein that is the target of the major SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is also one of the key agents causing the damage to distant organs that may include the brain, heart, lung, and kidney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore any of these vaccines are approved for widespread use in humans, it is important to assess in vaccinated subjects the effects of vaccination on the heart \u2026 Vaccinated patients could also be tested for distant tissue damage in deltoid area skin biopsies \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reports of side effects are rapidly mounting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Around the world, reports are now pouring in of people dying shortly after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

Of the 799 deaths reported within the U.S., one-third occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 21% of them were cardiac-related.<\/p>\n<p>Pfizer\u2019s vaccine was the most dangerous in terms of death, being responsible for 58% of deaths while Moderna\u2019s vaccine accounted for 41% of deaths. Pfizer\u2019s vaccine was also <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/latest-data-cdc-vaers\/\">responsible<\/a> for 75% of Bell\u2019s Palsy cases, compared to Moderna\u2019s at 25%.<\/p>\n<p>Curiously, based on the data submitted to the FDA, Moderna\u2019s vaccine has a death rate 5.41 times higher than Pfizer\u2019s, yet both are dramatically lower than the national average. As noted by The Defender, the dramatic discrepancy in death rates \u201cdeserves notice and requires explanation,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/discrepancies-modernas-fda-report-demand-answers\/\">adding<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Moderna\u2019s on-vaccine death rate is so far below the national death rate and also simultaneously more than five times greater than Pfizer\u2019s on-vaccine death rate, then Pfizer\u2019s study sample appears even less representative of the entire population \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cModerna\u2019s screening process and exclusion criteria in the trial led to evidence that the general population is dying at a rate 6.3 times greater than the death rate in the Moderna trial \u2014 which means the Moderna study, including its estimated efficacy rate and the vaccine\u2019s alleged safety profile \u2014 cannot possibly be relevant to most of the U.S. population.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe super-healthy cohorts studied by Moderna are in no way representative of the U.S. population. Most deaths from COVID-19 involve pre-existing health conditions of the types excluded from both Pfizer and Moderna trials \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose enrolling in the post-market surveillance studies deserve to know the abject absence of any relevant information on efficacy and risk for them. In their zeal to help humanity, or to help themselves, these people may very well be walking into a situation that will cause autoimmunity due to pathogenic priming, potentially leading to disease enhancement should they become infected following vaccination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do a risk-benefit analysis before making up your mind<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To avoid becoming a sad statistic, I urge you to review the science very carefully before making up your mind about this experimental gene therapy. Also remember that the lethality of COVID-19 is actually surprisingly low. It\u2019s lower than the flu for those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acpjournals.org\/doi\/10.7326\/M20-5352\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">under<\/a> the age of 60.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re under the age of 40, your risk of dying from COVID-19 is just 0.01%, meaning you have a 99.99% chance of surviving the infection. And you could improve that to 99.999% if you\u2019re metabolically flexible, insulin sensitive, and vitamin D replete.<\/p>\n<p>So, really, what are we protecting against with a COVID-19 vaccine? These mRNA vaccines aren\u2019t even designed to prevent infection, only to reduce the severity of symptoms. Meanwhile, they could potentially make you sicker once you\u2019re exposed to the virus, and\/or cause persistent serious side effects such as those reviewed above.<\/p>\n<p>While I won\u2019t tell anyone what to do, I would urge you to take the time to review the science and weigh the potential risks and benefits based on your individual situation before you make a decision that you may regret for the rest of your life, which can actually be shortened with this vaccine. Undoubtedly, Pfizer and other vaccine makers suspect this as well, which is why Pfizer is bullying nations into covering for any and all of its mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published by <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2021\/03\/08\/pfizer-covid-vaccine.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Mercola<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/pfizer-demands-collateral-vaccine-injury-lawsuits\/?itm_term=home\">https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/pfizer-demands-collateral-vaccine-injury-lawsuits\/?itm_term=home<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pfizer Demands Nations Put Up Collateral to Cover Vaccine Injury Lawsuits<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55964\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
