<\/a><\/p>\nThe sad death of Colin Powell should bring more needed attention to the phenomenon of breakthrough COVID infections of the fully vaccinated.\u00a0 You can choose to believe the establishment that breakthrough infections are nothing to worry about.\u00a0 Just a minor inconvenience because COVID vaccines are not and cannot be 100% effective.\u00a0 Or you can consider real world data that show how serious breakthrough infections really are.<\/p>\n
Department of Defense study<\/h3>\n
A recent release of data from an important study by the Department of Defense merits very serious attention.\u00a0 It is called the Project Salus study.\u00a0 One indication of how important the data are is that the official website giving the data was taken down.\u00a0 But it is available on\u00a0this site<\/a>.\u00a0 A logical interpretation is that the federal agencies running the pandemic, namely NIH, CDC and FDA, were upset with the data that I am about to give you.<\/p>\n Why?\u00a0 Because the data undercuts the establishment argument in favor of COVID vaccines and downplaying of breakthrough infections.\u00a0 It should be noted that\u00a0this study has received no attention by mainstream media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The title of the report is \u201cEffectiveness of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Against the Delta Variant Among 5.6 Million Medicare Beneficiaries 65 Years and Older,\u201d dated September 28, 2021.<\/p>\n The DOD study got access to the medical data for those people who were fully vaccinated.\u00a0 Of that group, 2.7 million got the Pfizer shot and 2.9 million got the Moderna one.\u00a0 Here are key findings:<\/p>\n The first reaction from establishment vaccine advocates is that all these numbers are very small percentages of the total sample of 5.6 million fully vaccinated people.\u00a0 That is correct.\u00a0 All that illustrates is the tyranny of small percentages when looking at health impacts of vaccines.<\/p>\n But there are reasons why the DOD data undercount the true negative impacts of breakthrough infections.\u00a0 The principal one is the study followed CDC procedure in not counting any negative health impacts occurring within 14 days of the last vaccine shot.\u00a0 This is important, because some analyses have found that high fractions of negative health impacts, such as vaccine induced blood problems happen within a few days of vaccination.\u00a0\u00a0This omission is a deliberate deception aimed solely at undercounting negative health impacts of vaccines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It should also be noted that this study did not examine serious adverse health impacts, including death, resulting from\u00a0vaccines<\/strong>\u00a0without any COVID infection long before and possibly long after breakthrough infections.\u00a0 This has been\u00a0detailed by this author<\/a>.<\/p>\n Another consideration is that the DOD study was on a cohort of about 10 percent of the entire Medicare population.\u00a0 And it is reasonable to believe that the 65 and older demographic very likely was vaccinated to a very high degree.\u00a0 The New York Times\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in August that at least 80 percent of people 65 and older are vaccinated in the US.\u00a0 Thus, the total number of deaths for this large group resulting from breakthrough infections could be large; perhaps over 10,000.<\/p>\n Indeed, it has been widely reported that over 80 percent of COVID deaths are in that demographic.\u00a0 The tragic end to Colin Powell, 84, who had two major underlying medical problems also pertains to the 65 and older population.\u00a0 They are especially vulnerable to having immune systems unable to block a breakthrough infection when the vaccine immunity seriously degrades.\u00a0 Powell surely had his initial vaccinations many months earlier.<\/p>\n Another cause of undercounting breakthrough deaths is that many are likely counted as only COVID deaths, not taking into account full vaccinated status<\/p>\n Taking all these factors into account, the total number of breakthrough deaths for the nation is likely in the 10,000 to 20,000 range.\u00a0 And it is rising as more vaccinated people have declining vaccine effectiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\n The study emphasized that the above data represented a marked improvement of analogous data from March to December 2020 period when COVID was rampant and before vaccinations.\u00a0 For example, the death rate of 2.1 percent for breakthrough infections of the vaccinated compared to 12 percent in the pre-vaccination period.<\/p>\n Fine.\u00a0 That is correct.\u00a0 But consider that some 3,000 deaths for the 9\/11 calamity was considered of enormous news media importance.\u00a0 So, why are the 3,381 deaths reported in the DOD study of little mainstream media interest?<\/p>\n As of October 12, CDC\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a07,178 breakthrough deaths, with 85% over 65.\u00a0 It no longer counts all breakthrough cases, just deaths and hospitalizations.\u00a0 However, CDC data are notoriously unreliable.\u00a0 So, extrapolating the data for the above six states to the entire nation (using population data) results in 14,510 breakthrough deaths for 1.6 million cases and a death rate of .9%.<\/p>\n This is lower than the 2.1 percent in the DOD study; this might be explained by many breakthrough infections happening in people younger than 65 and some under-reporting of breakthrough deaths probably because they are counted as COVID deaths.<\/p>\n The deaths are important because they show the true limitation of current COVID vaccines.\u00a0 It is now recognized that their effectiveness quickly diminishes over time.\u00a0 Generally speaking, after about six months they become ineffective.\u00a0 It was found in this study that\u00a0breakthrough infection rates 5-6 months post-vaccination are twice as high as 3-4 months post-vaccination<\/strong>.\u00a0 Also noted was that the data showed mRNA vaccine effectiveness falls short of what was predicted in the drug company studies that got them FDA sanctioned, and that the Moderna vaccine was better than the Pfizer one in sustaining effectiveness.<\/p>\n An unpublished graph of CDC data (made available on a Rational Ground newsletter, October 14, 2021) showed a marked increase in COVID deaths in hospitals starting in April 2021, rising from 3.1 to 15.1 percent for vaccinated patients in May 2021.\u00a0 This corresponds to the five months since the onset of the mass vaccination program; a period when vaccines lose their effectiveness.\u00a0 As time goes on, more people lose protection from vaccines causing more breakthrough infections.<\/p>\n This serious decline in vaccine effectiveness should lead rational, objective people to conclude any vaccine that only provides just a few months of protection should not be described as a medical solution worthy of wide use and mandates.\u00a0 And, in terms of ineffectiveness against the delta variant, does it make sense to believe that requiring repeated booster shots of the same vaccines will produce better results?\u00a0 At best, they may only delay breakthrough infections.<\/p>\n The worsening of health outcomes after vaccination has been interpreted as resulting from damage to the immune system caused by\u00a0vaccines<\/strong>.\u00a0 This is referred to as Antibody Dependent Enhancement in the medical research literature.\u00a0 It refers to immune system weakening from vaccines.<\/p>\n As to declining vaccine effectiveness it should be noted that two studies from\u00a0Israel<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Qatar<\/a>\u00a0that were published in the New England Journal of Medicine supported this threat to the fully vaccinated.\u00a0 And in Israel the rise of COVID-19 cases in fully vaccinated people has been reported. \u00a0According to Dr. Haviv,<\/a>\u00a0the vaccinated account for 85-90% of all new hospitalizations and 95% of \u201csevere\u201d cases at the Herzog Medical Center in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n There have also been reports that very high fractions of hospital admission in the US are for fully vaccinated people.\u00a0 One whistle blower\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that where she worked that while the vaccination rate was less than 50% in the community, about 90% of hospital admissions had been fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n And it has been reported from several states that 40% of hospitalized COVID patients had been fully vaccinated, including from\u00a0New York<\/a>: \u00a0Since July 1, nearly 40% of all Onondaga County residents who tested positive for the novel coronavirus had been fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n Recently\u00a0reported<\/a> for Maryland was that over the past three months in Anne Arundel County, about 30% of the people hospitalized with COVID are fully vaccinated.\u00a0 In neighboring Howard County health officials said roughly 30% to 40% of people hospitalized with COVID are fully vaccinated.\u00a0 That is a lot of breakthrough infections.<\/p>\n A recent\u00a0report from Public Health England<\/a>\u00a0shows that 163 of the 257 people (63.4%) who died of the delta variant within 28 days of a positive COVID test between February 1 and June 21, had received at least one dose of the vaccine.<\/p>\n A very important finding of the DOD study that in itself deserved attention by mainstream media was that the one variable that explained substantial resistance to serious negative health impacts from breakthrough infections was natural immunity resulting from prior COVID infection.<\/p>\n If we want to face reality with honesty, then natural immunity must be viewed as the enemy of mass vaccination.\u00a0 That governments refuse to credential natural immunity as they increasingly mandate vaccination is a disgraceful rebuttal of medical science.\u00a0 Indeed, there is now indisputable medical evidence that natural immunity is more effective, especially against variants, and longer lasting than vaccine immunity.\u00a0 All this makes it a threat to mass vaccination.<\/p>\n St. Lukes University Hospital in Pennsylvania has recognized natural immunity by offering their workers with it at least a one-year deferment to get vaccinated.\u00a0 With workers in many sectors refusing vaccination even with loss of their jobs and with a huge impact on our economy and society, perhaps the federal government and major companies will be compelled to act in a similar fashion by recognizing natural immunity.<\/p>\n Finally, newly\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0research is worth noting:\u00a0 High viral load was found in \u201c158 of 232 unvaccinated (68%\u2026) and 156 of 225 fully vaccinated (69%\u2026) symptomatic individuals.\u201d \u00a0This means there is no difference between the symptomatic vaccinated and unvaccinated in terms of who was carrying, and therefore spreading, the virus.\u00a0 It also found high viral loads in \u201c7 of 24 unvaccinated (29%\u2026) and 9 of 11 fully vaccinated asymptomatic individuals (82%\u2026).\u201d \u00a0Meaning, among asymptomatic individuals, the vaccinated had a higher percentage with a high viral load.<\/p>\n A valid conclusion is that the unvaccinated that catch the virus are more likely to be at home in bed with symptoms, while the vaccinated that catch the virus (breakthrough infection) may often have no symptoms and hence continue their daily routine unknowingly spreading the virus.\u00a0 This is why many medical experts refer to the vaccinated as super spreaders.\u00a0 Indeed, the eminent Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA vaccines, has\u00a0emphasized<\/a>\u00a0that vaccinated people in their normal activities are \u201cgoing to be spreading the virus like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n As to breakthrough infections and deaths, what must be remembered is that there is likely to be a lot of COVID virus circulating, mostly delta variant now.\u00a0 And that is happening as fully vaccinated people have declining vaccine effectiveness. Booster shots just delay such a loss.\u00a0 All of this means\u00a0increasing breakthrough cases<\/strong>, some of which result in death, especially in the most vulnerable; that is, the elderly, those with compromised immune systems (like Colin Powell), those with serious comorbidities, including obesity.<\/p>\n Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn, author of\u00a0Pandemic Blunder<\/a> and many articles on the pandemic, worked on health issues for decades. As a full professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, he directed a medical research program between the colleges of engineering and medicine.\u00a0 As a senior official at the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment and the National Governors Association, he directed major studies on health-related subjects; he testified at over 50 US Senate and House hearings and authored hundreds of articles and op-ed articles in major newspapers.\u00a0 He has served as an executive volunteer at a major hospital for more than 10 years.\u00a0 He is a member of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and America\u2019s Frontline Doctors.<\/em><\/p>\n The worst kept secret in world history SHOULD be that the unquenchable push for universal vaccinations against Covid-19 has little if anything to do with healthcare and everything to do with Big Pharma\u2019s influence over the narrative. Unfortunately, that secret has stayed firmly hidden from the vast majority of people because of the\u00a0five major minions working on behalf of Big Pharma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What\u2019s even worse is the fact that Big Pharma\u2019s greed is merely a smokescreen to hide an even darker secret. We\u2019ll tackle that later. First, let\u2019s look at the public-facing ringleaders behind the vaccine push, namely Big Pharma. But before we get into their five major minions, it\u2019s important to understand one thing. This is NOT just an article that speaks to the unvaccinated. Even those who believe in the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines must be made aware of agenda that\u2019s at play.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start with some facts. The unvaccinated do NOT spread Covid-19 more rampantly than the vaccinated. Even Anthony Fauci acknowledged the viral load present in vaccinated people is just as high as in the unvaccinated. This fact alone should demolish the vaccine mandates as it demonstrates they have absolutely no effect on the spread of the disease. But wait! There\u2019s definitely more.<\/p>\n This unhinged push to vaccinate everyone defies science. Those with natural immunity may actually have their stronger defenses against Covid-19 hampered by the introduction of the injections which fool the body into creating less-effective antibodies. Moreover, the push to vaccinate young people is completely bonkers. The recovery rate for those under the age of 20 is astronomical. Children neither contract, spread, nor succumb to Covid-19 in a statistically meaningful way. What they DO succumb to more often than Covid-19 are the adverse reactions to the vaccines, particularly boys.<\/p>\n All of this is known and accepted by the medical community, yet most Americans are still following the vaccinate-everybody script. It requires pure cognitive dissonance and an overabundant need for confirmation bias to make doctors and scientists willingly go along with the program. Yet, here we are and that should tell you something.<\/p>\n Before I get to the five major minions of of Big Pharma, I must make the plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our\u00a0GivingFuel<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0page or via\u00a0PayPal<\/strong><\/a>. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We\u2019ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.<\/p>\n Who does Big Pharma control? It starts with the obvious people, the ones who most Americans believe are actually behind this push.\u00a0Our governments<\/strong>\u00a0at all levels as well as governments around the world are not working\u00a0with<\/strong>\u00a0Big Pharma. They are working\u00a0for<\/strong>\u00a0Big Pharma. Some are proactive as direct recipients of cash. Others may oppose Big Pharma in spirit but would never speak out because they know anyone who does has no future in DC.<\/p>\n This may come as a shock to some, but it\u2019s Big Pharma that drives the narrative and sets the agenda for the \u201cexperts\u201d at the CDC, FDA, WHO, NIH, NIAID, and even non-medical government organizations.<\/p>\n Most believe it\u2019s the other way around. They think that Big Pharma is beholden to the FDA for approval, but that\u2019s not exactly the case. They need approval for a majority of their projects, but when it comes to the important ones such as the Covid injections, Big Pharma is calling the shots. They have the right people in the right places to push their machinations forward.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not to say that everyone at the FDA is in on it. Big Pharma only needs a handful of friendlies planted in leadership in order to have their big wishes met. We have seen people quitting the FDA in recent weeks for this very reason. The same can be said about the other three- and five-letter agencies. Too many people in leadership have been bribed, bullied, or blackmailed into becoming occasional shills for the various Big Pharma corporations. Some have even been directly planted by Big Pharma. That\u2019s the politics of healthcare and science that drives such things as Covid-19 \u201cvaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
