Subject: Looking for Answers in All the Wrong Places…
September 1, 2021
Grenoble, France
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Recently at a small
gathering I was invited to present research I had conducted many years ago on
the history of the extraordinary French anarcho-syndicalist primary school teachers movement in the early years of the Third Republic,
up to the First World War. (They numbered no more than 6,000 out of a total of
about 120,000 teachers in public elementary schools before the War, and their
pacifist activities were recorded in newspaper articles, personal letters,
diaries and memoirs, and police reports catalogued in the Paris archives.) I
shared with the group at its collective late-summer picnic some of my findings
from this research, and also an interesting book by Harvard Professor,
Barrington Moore, Jr., Injustice:
The Social Bases of Obedience and Revolt (1978), which I had come across
following my research. Although Moore’s work appeared several years after my
own archival research, I found that his discoveries corresponded to my own on
many fronts. What follows is an excerpt from the first part of this book, in a
discussion entitled “The moral authority of suffering and injustice”, in which
he attempts in this cross-cultural study to explain several “mechanisms” which
serve to stifle revolt.
He begins this discussion
with a word of warning: “Put very bluntly, the central question will be: what
must happen to human beings in order to make them submit to oppression and
degradation?”
To pose such a question may seem the height of moral irresponsibility.
Except for torturers and secret-police officials, who wants more of such
knowledge today? There is I believe, a very good answer. Until and unless we
understand why people acquiesce in such situations it is impossible to
understand how they can resist or help them to resist.(p.49)
Etiquette is a form of inhibition through
teaching people to know their place. Unless individuals are willing to learn,
no amount or manner of teaching can be effective. Here material deprivation,
originally in the form of hunger, comes into play. Modern prisoners of war who
cannot resist the temptation to serve their captors for the sake of increased
rations reveal the essence of the relationship. Hunger increases alertness to
cues from the social environment about ways to behave that will reduce the
pangs. Though there is considerable variation from one individual to another,
the effect is to make people eager to learn how to please those persons in
charge of the environment. When drives have been aroused, simple withdrawal
from the situation becomes much more difficult. A critical rejection of the
source of gratification seems almost impossible. The result is an acceptance of
the social codes and standards held by those in control of the situation. It is
the elementary form of co-option.
These considerations show that it is necessary to take into account
cultural definitions, the ready-made pointers to danger, and formulae for
coping with it that individuals acquire from the social lore and practice
around them. If every human being had to figure out every situation afresh,
human society would be impossible. These cultural formulae define socially
acceptable suffering, and what, if anything, the individual can or should do
about such suffering. In asceticism, Hindu caste, and to a lesser extent the
concentration camps, it is possible to discern a general pattern of cultural
explanation that stifles the impulse to do anything about suffering. The
explanation produces this effect by making the suffering appear as part of the
cosmic order, hence inevitable, in a sense justified. Even more significantly
the form of the explanation helps to turn aggressive impulses that suffering
and frustration produce against the self. This turning inward of aggression is
most noticeable in the case of asceticism. But it is also true of Hindu beliefs
about caste in general: failure to show respect to superiors in this life will
lead to penalties in the next one. In the concentration camps the same
mechanism appeared among those inmates previously conditioned to accept German
law and order without critical questioning who explained their current plight
as due to misunderstandings or mistakes in the way this law and order had been
applied to their particular cases.
Thus the available cultural definitions of social reality limit the
range of possible responses to this reality. On the basis of these three examples
it is also possible to distinguish four types of social processes that serve to
inhibit collective efforts to identify, reduce, or resist human causes of pain
and suffering. It is hardly necessary to add that effective action against the
social causes of suffering must be collective. Individual efforts are not to be
dismissed, and are certainly better than no efforts at all unless they occur as
the expense of the victims, as unfortunately is often the case. But individual
solutions that help only a minority by definition do not change the situation.
To this sociologist the most striking set of facts to turn up in these
examples is the way solidarity among an oppressed group form readily against
an individual protester or protector. This social mechanism appears not only in
the concentration camps but also in ordinary prisons. In the less overtly
threatening form of the Hindu cast system it occurs in the fully
institutionalized form of lower-caste councils who punish their own members for
the infraction of caste rules. The reasons for this solidarity are clear
enough: any single act of defiance runs the risk of retaliation that threatens
the whole group. Thus the group’s spontaneous efforts at defense can easily and
almost unavoidably serve to perpetuate and even intensify its submission.
The other three social processes are so much a part of common knowledge
that few comments are necessary here. One of them is the destruction of prior
social ties and habits among the sufferers to the point where individuals are
left without social support from other human beings. That can happen as a
result of the deliberate policy of an oppressor as in the concentration camps,
or as a consequence of more diffuse social processes that bring about the
disappearance of traditional ways of gaining a livelihood. Since the crucial
role of a minimum of social support for any act of criticism or resistance will
appear clearly in the next chapter, there is no need for further discussion
here. Nor is there any need to elaborate further at this point on co-option
since its essential psychological elements have just been discussed in
connection with social learning. The last social process, perhaps best labeled
as fragmentation, does, on the other hand, deserve some brief comment.
Fragmentation characterizes the situation of an oppressed or subordinate
population whose previous historical experience has left it divided into two or
more competing groups with their own distinct ways of life. Such divisions
along class, ethnic, religious, and occupational lines often interfered with
even minimal cooperation among the prisoners in the concentration camps.
Similar forms of fragmentation have been an obstacle to wider forms of
cooperation in other contexts such as ethnic divisions among industrial workers
in the United States or the problems of minorities in the Austro-Hungarian
Empire. This kind of fragmentation is the opposite of the process of
atomization just mentioned. Fragmentation generally implies the intensification
of prior social bonds instead of their destruction. An inherited network of
obligations and hostilities encapsulates the individual victim of misfortune or
oppression to the point where it is impossible to break out and form ties with
other human beings in the same plight. Too much social support, or social
support unsuited to the circumstances, can render a person as ineffective –and
perhaps cause as much pain – as no support at all.
All of the psychological, cultural, and social
processes just reviewed work together or separately to create the sense that
pain and suffering come with moral authority, indeed that these experiences are
to a degree morally desirable. The experiences themselves also appear as
unavoidable or even inevitable. Perhaps, therefore, the conquest of
inevitability constitutes the core of the issues under consideration. If so,
there has to be a conquest in the real world as well as in human emotions,
perceptions, and reasoning. Though the clue seems promising, there will be
obvious limits to any exploration until after our examination of the historical
dimension. In the meantime we may reverse the focus of this chapter to consider
the social and psychological mechanisms that human beings have used or tried to
use in overcoming hopelessness in the face of adversity.(pp.78-80)
Later, in the third chapter,
the author seeks to explain how the springs of moral outrage are not always
successfully undone, and there exists plenty of evidence that the “rejection of
suffering and oppression” has historical precedence.
. . . in this chapter we are looking
for general processes that occur at the level of culture, social structure, and
individual personality, as groups of people cease to take their social
surroundings for granted and come to reject or actively to oppose them. The
main process of cultural transformation amounts to an undermining of the prevailing
system of beliefs that confers legitimacy, or at least naturalness and some
degree of correspondence with ordinary expectations, upon the existing social
order. In the area of social structure this is the creation of an effective political
presence, some form of organization to counter organized authority, such as Third
Estate, Black People, etc. As part of the new political identity, there appear
new diagnoses for human miseries and new standards for their condemnation. In
some cases this innovation may amount to the recognition and discovery of
unhappiness, something quite different, however, form its invention. Psychologically
there is the infusion of iron into the human soul to give it the power to judge
and to act. The process culminates in the taking of power, or more accurately,
a decisive share in power, and the eventual establishment of a new kind of
society.
The process may be more or less peaceful and gradual or relatively
violent and abrupt, though it has never been completely one or the other. Nor
is it something that occurs at all times and in all places. I have come upon
hardly any trace of it in nonliterate societies. The
near absence of critical thought and action of the type just sketched is quite
striking even in those anthropological monographs that penetrate well below
those cultural norms about which natives tell strangers to what actually
happens. Hence it is more likely that this kind of social process does not put
in an appearance until mankind has reached a more complicated level of
civilization. Nor does it by any means appear everywhere at that level. Until
the twentieth century it was mainly a feature of what is loosely called Western
civilization.(pp.81-82)
. . .
Hence one main cultural task facing any oppressed group is to undermine
or explode the justification of the dominant stratum. Such criticisms may take
the form of attempts to demonstrate that the dominant stratum does not perform
the tasks that it claims to perform and therefore violates the specific social
contract. Much more frequently they take the form that specified individuals in
the dominant stratum fail to live up to the social contract. Such criticism leaves
the basic functions of the dominant stratum inviolate. Only the most radical
forms of criticism have raised the question whether kings, capitalists, priests,
generals, bureaucrats, etc., serve any useful purpose at all.(p.84)
. . .
For any oppressed group the primary
task is to overcome the moral authority of the sources of their suffering and
to create a politically effective identity. For analytical purposes it is
useful to distinguish three significant social and cultural aspects of this process.
One is to reverse the kinds of solidarity among the oppressed that aid the oppressor.
Examples of this kind of solidarity are the hostility to the ‘ball buster’ reported
from American prisons and similar behavior in the concentration camps where prisoners
discipline each other to carry out the will of the guards or the SS. To reverse
this kind of solidarity and direct antagonism outward against a common enemy is
no easy task because even the solidarity that aids the oppressor constitutes
some protection for the victims. Nor do all the obstacles to collective action against
the dominant groups come from the acts and policies of the authorities. In
modern societies, as we shall see in Part Three, the fragmentation that arises
from a complex division of labor is especially important.
The second aspect of the process is cultural rather than social: the creation
of standards of condemnation for explaining and judging current sufferings. As
the preceding chapter has shown, human begins can learn not only to accept but
even to choose pain and suffering. If there always remains some biological substratum
of resistance to painful experiences, as I strongly suspect is the case, it is nevertheless
quite possible to overcome such instinctual tendencies through various forms of
conditioning. As pointed out earlier, this human capacity to ignore and accept
suffering is essential to human survival. Therefore any political movement against
oppression has to develop a new diagnosis and remedy for existing forms of
suffering, a diagnosis and remedy by which this suffering stands morally condemned.
These new moral standards of condemnation constitute the core identity of any
oppositional movements.
As part of this new identity based on a new perception of evil, there
develops a new definition of friend and foe. In any but the most isolated
society, where far-reaching social change is in any case highly improbable, the
redefinition of friend and foe has to apply to neighboring and often competing societies
as well. This process of redefining the foreign enemy is sufficiently difficult
and important to warrant attention as a separate aspect of the creation of an
effective political identity by oppositional movements. The Jacobin surge of patriotism
at the time of the French Revolution and the failure of international working-class
solidarity at the outbreak of the First World War come to mind as famous
examples of such attempts to redefine the foreign enemy.(pp.87-88)
. . .
One general aspect of the whole
process does, however, require comment before attempting to analyze what happens
to individual human being. Put crudely, the issue is this: do the lower strata really
give a damn about the reigning principles of legitimacy in their society? How
much do they actually know or care about such matters? Obviously the answer
will vary considerably from case to case. For stratified preindustrial societies,
with a dominant stratum whose way of life is sharply distinct from the peasants’,
life in field, village and hamlet proceeds very largely according to its own
social and mental rhythms. It is very hard indeed to ascertain how such people
thought and felt, though there is more information about how they actually behaved.
About the lower strata in the towns before comparatively recent times we don’t
know a great deal more. But from what anthropologists tell us about nonliterate societies, and what can be gleaned from historical
studies, there can be hardly any doubt that the behavior of preindustrial peasants
and artisans conforms to some principles of social organization that can be
spelled out in some reasonably satisfactory fashion. Put differently, there are
principles of legitimacy. It is also reasonably plain that these have to mesh somehow
with principles prevailing among the dominant strata, and that the nature of
the mesh will have significant consequences for the forms and character of
social discontent. Furthermore, a rigid distinction between the dominant strata
and the mass of the population is by no means the universal situation in preindustrial
societies. On this score eighteenth-century Russia and Japan were very different.
Thus, to complete this very quick reconsideration, an attempt to gauge the significance
of principles of legitimacy leads at once into issues that have to do with the social
networks and relationships that link, or fail to link, dominant and subordinate
groups in the population.(p.89)
. . .
[I]t seems impossible to excise the
notions of moral autonomy and moral courage from our thought and vocabulary.
Everyday experience shows us that some human beings have these qualities and
others lack them. Therefore the best thing to do at this juncture is to try to describe
these qualities very briefly. Even with only a crude sense of what one ought to
look for, progress is more likely than it is from prolonged philosophical
discussion of how to look.
As a more realistic way to begin I will therefore posit three distinct
if related human qualities or capacities that might add up to ‘iron in the
soul.’ We shall also seek whatever explanations for their existence psychologists
of varying persuasions can furnish. The first quality we can still call moral courage,
in the sense of a capacity to resist powerful and frightening social pressures
to obey oppressive or destructive rules or commands. The second quality is
the intellectual ability to recognize that the pressures and rules are in fact oppressive.
This recognition can take the form of moral awakening in terms of exiting but largely
suppressed standards of behavior. The third capacity, moral inventiveness, is much
rarer, and I shall not have much to say about it. It is the capacity to fashion
from existing cultural traditions historically new standards of condemnation
for what exists. In their different ways Jesus and Martin Luther were moral innovators.
Presumably this capacity can exist in some ordinary human beings to a much
lesser degree.(p.91)
I mentioned at the picnic
meeting last week that the First World War succeeded in depopulating the planet
by approximately 20 million people (leaving another 23 million disabled), mostly young men killed, of which nearly 1.5 million were
Frenchmen. The anarchosyndicalist elementary school teachers
loved their students and excelled in teaching them to read, write, and to think critically.
They felt no need to prepare them to kill their German confreres and to be
killed obediently in an engineered conflict that could only be called “fratricide.”
As Jean Jaurès publically declared
before 1914: “All this was avoidable!”
International bankers and industrialists feared he was right; they were determined to prove him wrong.
The 26 + items below point to
the need for a purposeful mass movement, guided by historical knowledge where
the oppressive imperative of the System becomes comprehensible. In this context
we can easily understand the wisdom in the British philosopher Edmund Burke’s
famous dictum: "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat
it."

Francis Feeley

Banksters
Celebrate Fiat's 50th! . . . By Introducing CBDC Nightmare
by James Corbett
Happy Birthday, fiat currency!
What, you didn't know that the
fiat dollar is 50 years old this month? At least, according to the bankster class and their media lapdogs, it is. Observe:
On 15 August, the United States marked the 50th anniversary of the
birth of fiat currency, or a currency that depends on faith in the Federal
Reserve and not in the gold standard. Like most 50th anniversaries, this one
shows the celebrant worse for wear.
That little gem comes from an
article entitled (get this), "The
US Fed Can Actually Boost Equality With a Digital
Currency."
Right off the bat, if the idea
that the fiat dollar is indeed only 50 years old sets off your BS meter, then
congratulations! Your BS meter is working. The actual
story of the fiat dollar is a much longer and more complex one. The
short version goes like this: the fiat dollar was not born in 1971. That was
the year of the so-called "Nixon
shock," when President Nixon officially severed the gold/dollar link by
closing the gold window and thus preventing foreign governments from knocking
on the US Treasury's door and asking it to convert their piles of dollars into
stacks of gold. Even that story is a much longer and complex one (if you're
interested, enjoy some light bedtime reading on De
Gaulle vs. the Dollar and The
London Gold Pool), but the gist is that the Nixon shock was
just the final nail in the gold-backed dollar's coffin, not a magical moment in
which the dollar suddenly became fiat.
Now, if only the worst piece of
propaganda being flaunted by the propagandists right now were
a misleading headline about the birth date of the fiat dollar, then I could
just invite you to explore the links above and we could call it a day. But it's
not going to be that easy, is it? No, sadly, this article contains some much
more dangerous propaganda: propaganda that touts not simply the
"benefits" but the inevitability
of the coming central bank digital currency (CBDC). And as you should all know
by now, the central bank digital currency is the birth of the cashless society control grid that the
independent media have been warning about for
decades now.
So, let's
roll up our sleeves and deconstruct this propaganda, shall
we?

What Can We Learn About Covid Tyranny From
Australia And Afghanistan?
https://alt-market.us/what-can-we-learn-about-covid-tyranny-from-australia-and-afghanistan/
by Brandon Smith
Despotic people tend to telegraph their future actions like
inexperienced fighters tend to telegraph their punches; it’s not as if the
intentions of totalitarians are obscured or hard to predict. In some cases they
may even believe that they can be as obvious as they wish because they assume no
one will ever try to stop them. They’ve been destroying lives for so long they
adopt a sense of superiority, as if they are untouchable.
In my extensive study of psychopathy I find
that, unfortunately, the primary catalyst for the exploitation and victimization
of large populations of people is that many of them can’t wrap their heads
around the idea of an organized conspiracy of human monsters. They refuse to
acknowledge the existence of the evil right in front of them, so the evil is
able to go unopposed for long stretches of time. There is ALWAYS a moment,
though, when psychopaths push the wrong people too far. They just can’t help
it, and this is when they find themselves on the business end of a noose or the
barrel of a gun.
When it comes to organizations of psychopaths, the same moment also
eventually arrives, it just takes longer for the
public to comes to grips with the necessity of it.
In terms of the “Great Reset” agenda, medical tyranny using covid as a rationale is clearly a key ingredient to the
future objectives of the power elite. At the beginning of the pandemic
lockdowns last year I
made several predictions and warnings. I said that the mandates and
lockdowns for most people around the world would never go away, and I called
this “Wave Theory”; the use of intermittent moments of limited freedom followed
by increasingly more aggressive restrictions.
This cycle is meant to condition the public
to the idea that governments are “allowed” to micromanage our daily lives, that
this is “normal”, that it is for our own good and that we should enjoy the
short moments of liberty or normalcy they so graciously let us to have.

Decline and Fall

Afghanistan Pull-Out

with Mnar Adley

Wilkerson has been highly critical of the U.S. war machine and has warned that
excessive militarism is undermining democracy at home, with a bloated and
powerful national security state increasingly calling the shots in Washington.
“America exists today to make war. How else do we interpret 19 straight years
of war and no end in sight? It’s part of who we are. It’s
part of what the American Empire is,” he remarked last year.
As the national conversation on Afghanistan turns to what the country’s
future holds, now that the Taliban appear to be in an unassailable position, Adley and Wilkerson have a frank discussion about the U.S.
empire, war profiteers and the status of the War on Terror. What is in store
for the people of Afghanistan? Will this embarrassing defeat dent U.S. imperial
ambitions? And what is the next step in the War on Terror?
MintPress has

Weather Warfare: Beware the US Military’s Experiments
with Climatic Warfare
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
This article was first published by The Ecologist in December 2007.
It summarizes several in-depth and detailed articles written by the
author on environmental modification (ENMOD) techniques for military use.
It should be noted that while the HAARP program based in Gakona, Alaska was closed down, the US Air Force which
managed the HAARP project, nonetheless confirmed that ENMOD techniques for
military use are slated to continue:
“We’re moving on to other ways of managing the ionosphere, which the
HAARP was really designed to do,” he said. “To inject energy
into the ionosphere to be able to actually control it. But that work has
been completed.”
The ongoing debate on climate change including the Worldwide
protest movement fails to acknowledge the role of climatic warfare, namely the
deliberate manipulation of climate for military use. Similarly, the mainstream
media has failed to analyze the military dimensions of climate change.
A recent Associated Press (AP) “report” entitled “The superspreaders behind top
COVID-19 conspiracy theories”, directed against several authors and
independent media including Global Research describes Michel Chossudovsky as “a professor emeritus of economics … and a
conspiracy theorist who has argued the
U.S. military can control the weather”. (emphasis
added)
My response: “do you home work”. Sloppy journalism on
this and other issues (including Covid).
There is a vast literature on weather modification for military
use. The US Military can control the weather. And that is not a conspiracy
theory.
I refer the distinguished AP journalists to consult the US Air Force
document entitled “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025“
Screen Shot from the Report submitted to Air Force 2025
2021 Weather Conditions Raise Questions
In 2021,
extreme weather conditions have affected the entire planet. Massive floods in
China, Russia, Germany and Turkey. Forest fires and extreme
heat waves in British Columbia. Severe droughts in
California which threaten agriculture. Snowstorms in
Brazil.
The causes
must be carefully investigated. They are not attributable to CO2 Emissions.
There is
however no evidence that these occurrences are the result of
“weather modification techniques” as defined by the US Air Force
in “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025“
Yet at the
same time, it should be be
understood that advanced and sophisticated environmental modification
techniques (ENMOD) are fully operational.
Michel Chossudovsky, Global
Research, August 12, 2021
* * *
Rarely acknowledged in the debate on global climate change, the world’s
weather can now be modified as part of a new generation of sophisticated
electromagnetic weapons. Both the US and Russia have developed capabilities to
manipulate the climate for military use.
Environmental modification techniques have been
applied by the US military for more than half a century. US mathematician John von Neumann, in liaison with the
US Department of Defense, started his research on weather modification in the
late 1940s at the height of the Cold War and foresaw ‘forms of climatic warfare
as yet unimagined’. During the Vietnam war,
cloud-seeding techniques were used, starting in 1967 under Project Popeye, the
objective of which was to prolong the monsoon season and block enemy supply
routes along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
The US
military has developed advanced capabilities that enable it selectively to
alter weather patterns. The technology, which is being perfected under the
High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program
(HAARP), is an appendage of the Strategic Defense Initiative – ‘Star Wars’.
From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction, operating
from the outer atmosphere and capable of destabilising
agricultural and ecological systems around the world.
Weather-modification,
according to the US Air Force document
AF 2025 Final Report, ‘offers the war fighter a wide range of possible
options to defeat or coerce an adversary’, capabilities, it says, extend to the
triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes:
‘Weather
modification will become a part of domestic and international security and
could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive applications
and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate
precipitation, fog and storms on earth or to modify space weather… and the production
of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of [military]
technologies.’
In 1977, an
international Convention was ratified by the UN General Assembly which banned
‘military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having
widespread, long-lasting or severe effects.’ It defined ‘environmental
modification techniques’ as ‘any technique for changing –through the deliberate
manipulation of natural processes – the dynamics, composition or structure of
the earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of
outer space.’
While the
substance of the 1977 Convention was reasserted in the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC) signed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, debate on weather modification for military use has become a
scientific taboo.
Military
analysts are mute on the subject. Meteorologists are not investigating the
matter and environmentalists are focused on greenhouse gas emissions under the
Kyoto Protocol. Neither is the possibility of climatic or environmental
manipulations as part of a military and intelligence agenda, while tacitly
acknowledged, part of the broader debate on climate change under UN auspices.
The HAARP Programme
Established
in 1992, HAARP, based in Gokona, Alaska, is an array
of high-powered antennas that transmit, through high-frequency radio waves,
massive amounts of energy into the ionosphere (the upper layer of the
atmosphere). Their construction was funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy and
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Operated jointly by the
Air Force Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research, HAARP
constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of creating ‘controlled local
modifications of the ionosphere’. According to its official website, www.haarp.alaska.edu , HAARP
will be used ‘to induce a small, localized change in ionospheric
temperature so physical reactions can be studied by other instruments located
either at or close to the HAARP site’.

Soldiers Fight Back Against Military’s Upcoming
Vaccine Mandate by Filing Lawsuit Against Pentagon
by Kyle Becker
The Department of Defense will require all U.S. military troops to
take the COVID-19 vaccine by September 15th. The Associated Press earlier reported on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s memo.
The AP reported that “the
deadline could be pushed up if the vaccine receives final FDA approval or
infection rates continue to rise.”
“I will not hesitate to act
sooner or recommend a different course to the President if l feel
the need to do so. To defend this Nation, we need a healthy and ready force,”
the Defense Secretary added.
An Armed Forces member refusing
to take the vaccine is subject to punishment under the U.C.M.J., the AP’s
report noted. The punishment for refusal to obey an order may escalate up to
court martial.
“Some unvaccinated service
members have suggested they’d get the shot once it’s required, but others are
flatly opposed,” the report said.
Now, some of those ‘flatly
opposed’ soldiers are filing a lawsuit in court against the coming military
vaccination mandate. Those listed on the lawsuit as defendants are Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Health & Human Services
Xavier Becerra, and Janet Woodock, Acting
Commissioner of the Food & Drug Administration.
“Plaintiffs Staff Sergeant Daniel
Robert, U.S. Army, and Staff Sergeant Holli Mulvihill, USMC, individually and on behalf of all other
similarly situated active duty, National Guard, and Reserve servicemembers,
as documented survivors of COVID-19, file this action against the Department of
Defense (“DoD”), seeking a declaratory judgment that
the DoD cannot force them to take a COVID-19
vaccination under existing military regulations, federal regulations, federal
law, and the U.S. Constitution,” the plaintiffs’ legal complaint states.

Living in the Age of Covid:
“The Power of the Powerless”
https://www.michaelrectenwald.com/essays/living-in-the-age-of-covid-the-power-of-the-powerless
by Michael Rectenwald
A specter is
haunting the world: the increasing prospect of a new totalitarianism under the
extended covid response. Unlike the specter of
communism, or the specter of “dissent” to communist dictatorship that Václav Havel ironically identified in his groundbreaking
essay “The Power of the Powerless,”[1] this
specter originates from those in power and not from the revolutionary or the
powerless.[2] And rather than haunting only Europe or Eastern Europe, this
specter casts its long shadow across the future of all humanity, such that one
wonders how one might plan, if at all, for this future.
Mixed into
this spectral fear are grave doubts promoted by some about the intentions of
world leaders and a medical and technocratic elite apparently bent on new
lockdowns, masking, and mandatory mass vaccinations.

What’s Not Being Said About the Pfizer Coronavirus Vaccine. “Human Guinea Pigs”?

Bill Gates is actively financing and promoting
new untested vaccines supposed to keep us at least somewhat safe from a
‘ghastly” death from the novel coronavirus and
supposedly allow us to resume somewhat “normal” lives. The Pharma
giant Pfizer has now announced what they claim were spectacular results in
initial human tests. They use an experimental technology known as gene editing,
specifically mRNA gene-editing, something never before used in vaccines. Before
we rush to get jabbed in hopes of some immunity, we should know more about the
radical experimental technology and its lack of precision.
The financial world went ballistic on November 9 when the pharma giant Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech, announced in a company press release that
it had developed a vaccine for Covid19 that was “90%” effective.
The controversial US head of NIAID, Tony Fauci rushed to greet the news
and the EU announced it had purchased 300 million doses of the costly new
vaccine. If you believe financial markets, the pandemic is all but past

How “the Endless War” Became “the
Endless Pandemic”
https://lewlewmedia.com/how-the-endless-war-became-the-endless-pandemic/
analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola & Fact
Checked
Story
at-a-glance
In the video report above, journalist Glenn Greenwald
elaborates on a recent expose’1 he published in which he accuses the
U.S. government of downplaying the capabilities of the Afghan security forces
trained by the U.S. military.
“Using the same deceitful tactics they pioneered in Vietnam,
U.S. political and military officials repeatedly misled the country about the
prospects for success in Afghanistan,” Greenwald
writes.2
He points out how presidents over the past 20 years have
repeatedly announced victory over the Taliban and Al Qaeda and bragged about
what a great job the U.S. is doing in training and fortifying the Afghan
Security Forces.
Most recently, July 8, 2021, President Biden insisted a
Taliban takeover was essentially impossible and that “the Afghan government and
leadership … clearly have the capacity to sustain the government in place.”
A Miscalculation of Epic Proportions
When a reporter asked Biden to comment on intelligence
reports warning that the Afghan government would likely collapse, Biden was
quick to deny it, saying “That is not true. They did not — they didn’t — did
not reach that conclusion.” He also stated that “the likelihood that there’s
going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is
highly unlikely.” In his article, Greenwald goes on:3
“And then, in an exchange that will likely assume historic
importance in terms of its sheer falsity from a presidential podium, Biden
issued this decree:
Q. Mr. President, some Vietnamese veterans see echoes of
their experience in this withdrawal in Afghanistan. Do you see any parallels
between this withdrawal and what happened in Vietnam, with some people feeling —
THE PRESIDENT: None whatsoever. Zero.
What you had is — you had entire brigades breaking through the gates of our
embassy — six, if I’m not mistaken.
The Taliban is not the south — the North Vietnamese army.
They’re not — they’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s
going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of
an embassy in the — of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all
comparable.”
If you’ve watched the news over the past several days, you
know those statements did not age well, as the Taliban took over the
presidential palace in Kabul and U.S. embassy staff were helicoptered
off the roof in a rushed evacuation4 after the security forces
surrendered to the Taliban without a fight.
A Lie Repeated Does Not Make It True
July 21, 2021, General Mark Milley,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, admitted “there’s a possibility of a
complete Taliban takeover,” but still insisted that the Afghan Security Forces
“have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country.”
Eight years ago, in September 2013, Milley
stated the Afghan Security Forces “have been very, very effective in combat
against the insurgents every single day.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken has also gone on record,5
mere months ago, denouncing fears that U.S. withdrawal would deteriorate the
security picture in Afghanistan, and even if it did, it would not occur anytime
soon.
“None of this was true,” Greenwald
writes.6 “It was always a lie, designed first to justify the
U.S.’s endless occupation of that country and, then, once the U.S. was poised to
withdraw, to concoct a pleasing fairy tale about why the prior twenty years
were not, at best, an utter waste.
That these claims were false cannot be reasonably disputed
as the world watches the Taliban take over all of Afghanistan as if the vaunted
‘Afghan national security forces’ were china dolls using paper weapons.
But how do we know that these statements made over the
course of two decades were actual lies rather than just wildly wrong claims
delivered with sincerity? To begin with, we have seen these tactics from U.S.
officials — lying to the American public about wars to justify both their
initiation and continuation — over and over.”
Greenwald goes on to review how the Vietnam and Iraq wars
were both predicated on complete fabrications “disseminated by the intelligence
community and endorsed by corporate media outlets,” and how political and
military leaders lied about our chances of success.
It is simply inconceivable that Biden’s false statements
last month about the readiness of the Afghan military and police force were
anything but intentional. ~ Glenn Greenwald
The Pentagon Papers, top secret documents by military
planners, were released in June 1971, proving U.S. officials were far more
pessimistic about the Vietnam war than admitted publicly.
A similar cache of documents relating to Afghanistan were published by The
Washington Post in 2019.7 According to The Post, “U.S. officials
constantly said they were making progress. They were not, and they knew it …”
Was the Afghan War Nothing but a For-Profit Scheme?
For 20 years, U.S. generals have claimed they’re making
headway in training an Afghan army and national police force to defend the
nation without foreign assistance.
In reality, military trainers “described the Afghan security
forces as incompetent, unmotivated and rife with deserters. They also accused
Afghan commanders of pocketing salaries — paid by U.S. taxpayers — for tens of
thousands of ‘ghost soldiers,’” The Post wrote.8
According to The Post, documents
and interviews not only contradicted public statements by U.S. presidents and
military commanders, but proved such statements were intentional lies.
Statistics and surveys were intentionally altered and manipulated at every turn
to maintain the false appearance that progress was being made and that the
effort was well worth it.
In reality, the entire Afghan venture appears to have been
little more than a for-profit scheme. In a July 2021 article, independent
journalist Michael Tracey interviewed a U.S. veteran of the Afghan war who
participated in the training programs of Afghan police and military:9
“‘I don’t think I could overstate that this was a system
just basically designed for funneling money and wasting or losing equipment,’
he said.
In sum, ‘as far as the U.S. military presence there — I just
viewed it as a big money funneling operation’: an endless money pit for U.S.
security contractors and Afghan warlords, all of whom knew that no real
progress was being made, just sucking up as much U.S. taxpayer money as they
could before the inevitable withdraw and takeover by the Taliban.”
Greenwald also points out that evidence given to him by NSA
whistleblower Edward Snowden showed the NSA was monitoring and recording every
single cell phone call in five countries, including Afghanistan, making it
highly unlikely the U.S. did not know the true state of affairs.
“There was virtually nothing that could happen in
Afghanistan without the U.S. intelligence community’s knowledge. There is
simply no way that they got everything so completely wrong while innocently and
sincerely trying to tell Americans the truth about what was happening there,”
Greenwald writes,10 adding that, in light of available facts:
“It is simply inconceivable that Biden’s false statements
last month about the readiness of the Afghan military and police force were
anything but intentional.”

Statistical Fraud in the FDA Vaccine Approval Process
https://www.globalresearch.ca/statistical-fraud-fda-vaccine-approval-process/5753798
by Josh Mitteldorf
The Pfizer vaccine is on a fast track for FDA approval, hearings possible today according to the NYTimes
. I suspect the political pressures are enormous. Still, how can approval be
possible when the safety record of this vaccine is far worse than any vaccine
in the past, including many that were pulled from the market?
Efficacy
Part
of the answer is that CDC is not reporting the statistic most relevant to
measuring efficacy. That is: Vaccination status of COVID patients. How many of
the new infections and new deaths are in vaccinated individuals, and how many
in unvaccinated? Of course, this information is known in CDC databases; it is
scandalous that the numbers are not being made public. I do not know if they
are being provided to FDA. Israel is more honest, and numbers from there are not encouraging.
Likewise,
data about transmissibility, comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated populations,
are not being reported, and were not part of the clinical trials last fall.
Safety
There
are several systems for reporting vaccine reactions, including deaths, but the
only one available to the public is VAERS. It is
incomplete, because it relies on voluntary reporting, there is no incentive to
report to VAERS, and it is a cumbersome process.
One-Third of Deaths
Reported to CDC After COVID Vaccines Occurred within 48 Hours of Vaccination
We
may compare reports of the COVID vaccines to past years, when there were also
hundreds of millions of vaccinations, including annual flu shots and childhood
vaccine schedules. The comparison is dramatic.
There
were more than twice as many deaths related to the COVID vaccines this year as
the sum total of all vaccine deaths in the 30-year history of VAERS.
Given
this safety record, how is there any possibility of approval? Here is where the
statistical fraud comes in. [I am grateful to have been alerted to this
situation by Matthew Crawford]
The
safety criterion they have chosen is an obscure computation called PRR for
Proportional Reporting Ratio. As the name implies, it is based on RATIOS
of different event types and is utterly blind to the ABSOLUTE RATE of such
events.

Could
It be a Population Reduction Plot After All?
https://www.globalresearch.ca/could-population-reduction-plot-after-all/5753706
by
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Last
year once I realized that the Covid campaign was a fear campaign and not a
scientific or medical campaign, I understood that the operating agenda was not
a public health agenda. It became clear that there was a profit agenda and also
a control agenda in which civil liberties and their legal and constitutional
protections were being cast aside.
Having
studied at four top universities in days gone by when education, not
propaganda, was education’s purpose, I am able to comprehend most scientific
reports sufficiently to understand the gist of the reports, but in the case of
Covid when in doubt I rely on virologists and medical school professors to vet
or correct my conclusions.
Having
had famous professors including Nobel prize winners who were mocked in their
earlier years by establishment opinion and having myself experienced resistance
to my own innovative scholarship, I was aware that truth is often rejected
until opponents are simply overwhelmed by the evidence.
For
my Oxford University professor, Michael
Polanyi, a physical chemist, it took a half century for his theory of
chemical absorption to win over Einstein’s disapproval. In the meantime a
number of his students had won the Nobel prize in science. E.P. Wigner in
physics. Melvin Calvin in chemistry. His son John Polanyi in chemistry.
Michael Polanyi was the most intelligent and civilized person I have ever
known. He would certainly be disheartened to see the disregard of evidence in
universities and media today and by public authorities.
Experiencing
the Covid Deception, I am alarmed that today evidence itself has lost its
authority. Throughout the Western World, agendas take precedence over
truth. This is most certainly the case with Covid-19.
We
are living under a Covid policy that has no evidence whatsoever in its support. Lacking any evidence for the ruling policy,
suppression of the actual facts is the operating principle. The utterly
corrupt public health authorities, dumbshit ignorant politicians, and scum
presstitutes repeat lies over and over, relying on constant repetition to turn
the lie into truth. The vast bulk of the world’s population, lacking the
education and energy to think for itself, is satisfied to have the media tell
them what to think.
Why Are We Being Deceived About COVID?

In
recent episodes of Rattling the Bars, TRNN’s weekly show on the violence and
victims of the prison-industrial complex, legendary Black Panther and longtime
political prisoner Eddie Conway and his guests have examined the 13th
Amendment, the exploitation of prisoner slave labor in the US today, and the
people who are fighting to put an end to this barbaric practice for good. As a
crucial follow-up to this important coverage, Conway was recently interviewed
by Robert Scheer on his syndicated podcast Scheer Intelligence, which features
“thoughtful and provocative conversations with ‘American Originals’—people who,
through a lifetime of engagement with political issues, offer unique and often
surprising perspectives on the day's most important issues.” For this week’s
installment of Rattling the Bars, we are sharing the full conversation between
Conway and Scheer on the TRNN podcast feed, in which they discuss the role
slave labor has played in constructing the modern capitalist economy, even up
to our present day. (This conversation was originally published on Scheer
Intelligence on August 13, 2021, and is republished here with permission.)

“Corona
Unmasked: New Facts and Figures A Special Interview With Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi”
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Dr. Joseph
Mercola: Welcome everyone. Dr. Mercola, helping you take control of your health
and continuing to keep you updated and informed on the COVID-19 pandemic. And
in effort to do that we have Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, who is a microbiologist in
Germany. And we're connecting with them in Germany at this time. So, welcome and
thank you for joining us today.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Thank you for having me.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: So, can you provide us with a little bit of your background
with respect to professional training? You're a microbiologist and maybe run
over some of the academic credentials and affiliations you've had and what
you're doing now?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Well, I graduated from medical school in Germany. That was
back in 1970. And then after a year of clinical work, I joined the Max Planck
Institute of Immunobiology [and Epigenetics] to learn how to do science. And I
stayed there for four years as a post-doc where I began my research in
immunology. I researched the complement system and was involved in identifying
the magic bullet of the complement system, which causes wrongly transfused
erythrocytes to [inaudible 00:01:22]. My first piece of work
was done on that. And then it went into microbiology, bacteriology and
discovered that bacteria, most of them, produced similar weapons to use against
us. And that's what set off my career as a microbiologist. So, I ended up
chairing the department of medical, microbiology and hygiene at the University
of Mainz where I stayed for 22 years until my retirement nine years ago.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Okay. Well, thank you for that. So, you have a very prestigious
pedigree, the academic history. You're an MD/Ph.D. and for those who aren't
familiar with it, why don't you say a few words about the Max Planck
Institute? Because it's one of the most prestigious institutes for
science in the world. I believe.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Well, it used to be.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yeah. So, maybe tell us where it used to be when you were
working and what's happened since then?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Well, the Max Planck Institute where I was, was famous because
the discoverers of the so-called endotoxin, which is what leads to septic shock
and death during severe infections was partly discovered there. And that's
where the center of immunology was based at that time. Those were in the ‘70s.
And that's why I went there. In fact, it was also the first institution in
Germany where membranes of cells were analyzed to see what was going on within
the membrane itself. And that's how I stumbled across the magic bullet of the
complement system because I discovered that a complement, when it is
activated, shoots bullets into the membranes of your cells. And that's
what kills you. Now, all of this is coming back to, is completing a whole
circle in my life, because it now turns out that the coronavirus is also
employing this method of using our own immune system to the path of
self-destruction. And that is
what I think is one of the major paths to adverse events after
vaccination.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yes, indeed. So, you're eminently scientifically qualified to
comment in this area because you've spent
the majority of your professional life studying these issues. So, we're
eagerly looking forward to the conclusions you've reached. I think most of your
comments have been directed to the vaccine. I think that's probably a good
place to start, because that seems to be the objective of this whole
“plandemic” narrative is to manipulate, brainwash, cajole people into getting
the vaccine.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: I agree entirely.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yeah. I mean, this is where we're at and we need to understand
this. And I think you're providing us with an overall perspective will help
many people. Now having said that, I am convinced without any shadow
of a doubt we are in the middle of one of the most effective propaganda
campaigns ever engineered in the history of the human race.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: And as a result of that propaganda and brainwashing, literally
half the population is essentially unable to think rationally or logically when
they're presented with facts. So, we have to understand that many
people who need to hear this presented on a silver platter, will just
ignore it and choose to believe it's fake or it's just not correct. So, that's
okay. Because there's half of the people who aren't brainwashed and that's who
we're speaking to. So, why don't you give us your perspective as to what's been
happening? I've got a lot of specific questions, but I'll let you start it off
by painting the broad strokes.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Well, I agree with all of what you said, and I have actually
nothing to add to that. Our whole efforts, our entire efforts, my efforts of my
wife, Karina Reiss and myself are currently directed at providing information
about the so-called vaccination, because we believe that this vaccination
agenda and
program is the greatest threat to humanity. The greatest threat that
humanity has ever come up against. And it is our duty to aggressively inform
people about the dangers that they are subjecting themselves and their beloved
ones to by this vaccination.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Okay. That's a good place to start. And as again, I want to
emphasize that you are more than eminently qualified academically to comment on
this because of your decades of experience in this area. So, why don't you-
Dr. Sucharit
Bhakdi:
I also worked
on development of vaccines.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola:
Oh yeah. That's another point I wanted to bring up. You are not
anti-vax. I am typically perceived as anti-vax, because I have been opposed to
routine vaccinations for probably over three decades now. And I did provide
vaccination immunizations in my medical practice up until about the early ‘90s,
before I
began to understand or realize that there was enormous complications
with them. But that is not the position you've taken. You actually are pro-vax
and I suspect you've received most of your vaccinations up to date, but with
this one you've turned around. So, maybe you can expand on that before you go
into discussion, because I think many people will choose to paint you
untruthfully as an anti-vaxxer.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: I would modify that a little bit. I certainly am pro-vax with
regards to the vaccinations that work and that are meaningful. And with that, I
will also say tetanus, diphtheria, yes, anytime. However, I have not been pro
[to] the recommendations that have been given. So, I would never say that
infants, little children, should be vaccinated against diphtheria and tetanus
because they are not endangered. If you say-
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Or hepatitis B, even more insane at day one of birth.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Yes. Well, exactly. I'm not for that. I would be for tetanus
and diphtheria at the right age, before they enter school, for instance, where
the danger of getting aluminum poisoning has subsided. And I would never go for
vaccination of infants with diphtheria, tetanus and pneumococcal, as they're
doing in Germany, creating massive, thousands of poor children who suffer from
aluminum intoxication. So, whereas I say I am pro-vax, I will say so only for
the vaccinations that are really meaningful. And this does not pertain for
instance, to influenza, to the flu. It does not pertain necessarily to shingles
and it certainly does not pertain to corona.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Okay, great. So, thank you for refining that characterization
of your position because I think it's important to do that. And that is a
rational perspective, and it's really hard to argue against it if you're
objective, from my perspective. So, thank you for refining that. So, why don't
we dive into the primary
reasons for your objections to the coronavirus vaccine, which
extensively, and maybe I can dive into a little bit of the historical
perspective, was characterized as being 95% effective or in that range, because
there was a number of different vaccine manufacturers out there, but in a
sense, 95% effective.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: And that was essentially a massive statistical aberration
because they conflated relative risk and absolute risk. So, the absolute risk
was probably closer to 1% or 2%. Or even under 1%, I think it was under 1%.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Under 1%.
Dr. Joseph
Mercola: Yeah. So, I definitely want you to dive deeper into that because
you're really well trained and qualified to comment on it. And I like the fact
that you're calling it immune enhancement because I think that's more accurate.
Typically for those who are watching and may appreciate that, typically this is
referred to as ADE or antibody-dependent enhancement, which I don't think is as
good as – I like to term PIE or paradoxical because it doesn't make sense. It
does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do, immune enhancement. So,
why don't you discuss what's happening? Because I think this is the crux and
really forms the foundational basis for your concern. Some of the projections
I've heard you stated earlier as to the outcome of what's going to happen to
most of the people who've been vaccinated.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: I mean, I will start by saying something that we've also
written in our book, that there are two major arms of defense against
infection. One, against viral infection, one are the antibodies that, if they
are present, may prevent the virus from entering the cells. These are so-called
neutralizing antibodies, which the vaccination is supposed to – yes. But since
the antibodies directed against respiratory viruses are not really there at the
place that they are needed, which is on the surface of the airway epithelium.
They are in the blood, but not at the surface of the epithelium where the virus
arrives. Most respiratory
viruses will be able to enter the lung cells. And the second arm of
immune defense then comes into play. And these are the lymphocytes.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi:
Now there are different types of lymphocytes and I will simplify matters
by saying the important lymphocytes are the so-called killer lymphocytes that
sense whenever a virus product is being produced in the cell and they will then
come and destroy the cells that harbor the virus and thus is the factory
closed. And people get well again. That is the mechanism how we can survive
viral infections of the lung. And this happens all the time. So, the
lymphocytes in contrast to the antibodies recognize many, many, many parts of
the proteins. All right. So, if a virus changes a little bit, it doesn't
matter, because the waste products that are recognized by the killer
lymphocytes remain very similar. And that is why all of
us, and this is now known, all of us have memory lymphocytes in our
lymph nodes and in our lymphoid organs that are trained to recognize these
coronaviruses. And whether or not a mutant is there, it doesn't really matter,
because they will recognize a mutant.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Or variants, is what they're calling [crosstalk 00:24:14].
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Or variants, the same, variants. But the variants you see,
aren't really altered so much.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Right, it's pretty minor.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: It's extremely little because coronaviruses can only undergo
point mutations. Meaning only one nucleotide at a time can be changed. This is
the difference to flu. The flu virus can completely change its spike protein by
exchanging the spike protein. One virus can exchange it's spike protein with
another virus if two viruses are in the cell. This sort of shift is not
possible with coronaviruses. And therefore you will never have leaps in
antigenic changes either for antibodies or for T-cell killer lymphocytes. And
that's why the background immunity, I don't want to talk about herd immunity,
but the background immunity that evolves during the lifetime of a human being
is very broad and very solid. And that's why when the virus enters the body of
a 17-year-old, who has not any preexisting illness, the virus is not going to
kill that man or woman.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: It cannot. We are immune. And in fact, this is the good news.
There have been papers appearing in June that have collectively shown that,
indeed, our immune system already knows this new virus and is already trained
in combat with this virus. And this is absolutely clear and conclusive that
evidence is there and anyone can go and read those papers that have shown that
the response to vaccination. If you're vaccinated today, the immune system
immediately responds by throwing out the antibodies that everyone wants. They
are already in the treasure trove of the immune system. Plus the killer
lymphocytes that you need in case the virus gets to the lung. And that
is that. In fact, because these papers have been published, we now know that
the narrative that this virus is new and therefore dangerous because the immune
system cannot recognize it is a lie. It's wrong.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yeah, it is.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Proven to be wrong. So, now we have no reason whatsoever to
vaccinate. First of all – yeah.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Well, let's dive into the herd immunity because that's the crux
of the issue. And I really want to focus on what are the most egregious
nullifications or decimation of medical scientific truths. And that is the
concept that unless you have immunity from the vaccine, you're not protected.
It doesn't matter if you've received natural immunity, which is far different,
far superior, infinitely more superior. Let's go into it. So, I want you,
you're so qualified to go into this, this is why I wanted to discuss it. You
had mentioned these antibodies that are in the blood and not on the epithelial
surfaces. Well, the antibodies
are three types IgG, which is the long-term, IgM, the acute. And then
you got secretory IgA. So, I'm thinking that in the natural infection you have
the secretory IgA but the vaccine does not produce that, but maybe it does. So,
then of course, you've got the lymphocyte too. So, why don't you expand on that
a bit, just to clarify and help us understand why natural immunity is infinitely
superior to a vaccine-induced immunity?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Well, the antibodies don't really, they're not enough of them.
The struggle between antibodies and virus is a struggle of numbers. So, one
antibody can bind one spike point and once it's bound, it's gone. So, even if
you have secretory IgA out there lining the epithelium, which you do, but you
have minuscule amounts of it. That's known, it's minuscule. The moment the
viral load is high, they just overrun. It's that simple. So, the antibody – so
the virus will always get into the lung just as the flu does, but then the
killer lymphocytes will come and extinguish the fire. Now, in that process, of
course, viruses may enter
the blood. When lung tissue is destroyed, virus may enter the blood, and
then maybe the antibodies will play a protective role by preventing the virus
from disseminating via the bloodstream to other organs.
Dr. Sucharit
Bhakdi: In fact, it is known that the coronavirus does not disseminate to other
organs. It is known that the spike protein, it can dissociate away and by
itself, on its own, travel to distant sites in the body. And that can also be
partly suppressed by antibodies, probably. But this is not a big deal. The big
deal are the lymphocytes, which are the naturally occurring cells that protect
you. And of course, vaccination that is aimed primarily at creating IgG
antibodies in the blood have no way of competing with natural immunity via
lymphocytes, no way at all. And the very fact that the WHO (World Health
Organization) has changed
the definition
of herd immunity to say that [crosstalk 00:30:27] created by antibodies by
vaccination is such a scandal. I'm at a loss of words to describe how
ridiculous I find this all, that this is being accepted by our colleagues. I
mean, your colleagues and my colleagues. How can the physicians and scientists
of
the world bear
to have to listen to all this nonsense?
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Just to be clear, the killer lymphocytes seem to be the
champions here at providing the bulk of the immune response that's going to
protect us against devastating side effects from the infection. And it's your
contention that the COVID injections do not stimulate killer lymphocyte
production.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: I did not say that.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Okay. Well then that's why I asked for clarification.
[crosstalk 00:31:25].
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: I didn't say that. On the contrary, they will. However, this
is going to be at the expense of the patients, because this is going to create
horrible, adverse side effects. Now, let me just try to tell you what I think.
You see, normally this virus will stay in the lung because it's sort of
captured there by the killer lymphocytes. So we have a lung infection and the
lung can recuperate, can recover from this after the virus has gone. What a man
is now daring to do is that he is daring to introduce a viral gene, the gene of
dangerous gene into the blood, so that it gains access to sites that it would
never gain access to in normal conditions. And these are two main sites. First,
the lymph nodes, the lymph nodes that drain the muscles. And second, once the
genes have entered the bloodstream, they will enter the cells that line the
vessels, which are the endothelial cells. These are the cells that line all the
vessels of our body down to the capillaries from the big to the smallest.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Can you just, I can just hold you there and just ask a quick
question. The vaccine or the COVID injection jab is injected into the deltoid
muscle into the arm. So, can you just walk us through how it gets from
there into the blood?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Yeah, very simple, the path that is well-known is that it
drains to the lymph nodes and things that are in the lymph nodes then go into
the bloodstream. In the case of these nanoparticles, however, there may be
another way in, and that is the direct translocation from the muscle into the
small vessels because these lipid packages [crosstalk 00:33:45] are not only so
small, they have special properties of being dangerous, and what is known about
side effects. This cannot be done with children because children are not in the
position to understand it. Therefore, they cannot give informed consent.
Therefore, they
cannot be vaccinated. If anyone does that, he should be set tomorrow
before a tribunal. If grownups have been informed and want to get the shot,
that's all right. But don't force anyone to get the shot. It has to be by
informed consent only.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yeah, that's it, informed consent is virtually impossible
currently because anything, any attempt to inform people of the negative
consequences of the injection of this substance into your body is essentially
censored. And in many cases it's banned. So, it's a very effective strategy.
So, they're only getting one side. They're not getting the other side and you
can't have informed consent without hearing both sides.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Yeah. Right. Correct. The parents should now step in and say,
“We will not allow our children to be vaccinated.” And it is almost common
knowledge among anyone who's been thinking about that. That the risks in
pregnancy are bound and we believe that many stillbirths are a result of these
vaccinations. Furthermore, these vaccines accumulate in the ovaries and testes,
and we are horribly worried that there's going to be an impact on fertility.
And this will be seen in years or decades from now. And this is potentially one
of the greatest crimes, simply one of the greatest crimes imaginable.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yeah. It's certainly the greatest experiment in human history.
It's just unequivocal. There's no doubt about it. So, the first step is if
you're watching this is, if you've gotten the vaccine, you've gotten it.
There's nothing you can do but you certainly don't want to get a booster. And
it looks every bit is what
people were projecting. Many were projecting, actually, is they're going
to come up with booster recommendations. Maybe once, twice, even three times a
year you're supposed to get your booster. So, that's the last thing you want to
do is get another booster injection on this. The more you get, the worse it's
going to be, and the more consequences that you're going to have as a result.
So, why don't you expand on that? And we can, then going to discuss another
component.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Absolutely. I mean, there's nothing more to say. You see the
orchestra is being told to play louder and louder and louder. The damage is
going to get worse and worse and worse. In the end, I predict that we're going
to see mass illnesses and deaths among the healthy people who normally would
have
wonderful lives ahead of them. Yeah. It's [crosstalk 00:54:15].
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Do you have an idea of the range that you're projecting is that
we might have those?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: No.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Because I mean, already, we've got, I mean, it's hard to tell
because there's such a limited databases. We're recording this is close to
13,000, 500,000 adverse events. Some are projecting that a minimum of five
times. That is what the actuality is, because they're just not reported this.
And they were six months into this or seven months.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Yeah. So, I'm not a mathematician, but you ask a computer to
do some computing and you'll come up with numbers that are so horrifying that
you can't imagine that they can get through with this program.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: By then it's going to be too late. So, have you come up with
any recommendations for those who've already gotten it? I mean, the primary one
is don't get another one. I mean, that's the number one most important
strategy, but then there's, once people become enlightened and understand that
there's a risk to what they've done or forced to do for whatever reason, what
is their next step aside from not getting the next one?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: The next step is that they should realize that if they contact
a real infection now in autumn, they have to realize that there are good
medicines to treat the infection. All right. And they should insist that they
get it.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Okay. So, yes, I actually interviewed Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. And
he's responsible for creating many effective protocols. So, in his contention
is, is that just like you stated the time, if you're exposed to this infection
at the very first sign of a symptom, you've got to jump on this. You literally
have like 48 hours before it could be too late. The longer you wait the worse
it's going to be.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: That sounds very dramatic, but you should do something about
it as soon as possible.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Well, it's his experience. I mean, he's got pretty significant
experience in this in the front lines. So, that's what he recommends because of
the viral replication. Exactly what you were saying earlier, the more viral
load there is, the worse the problem.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Yes. Well, okay. I don't think we have to say he said so. Yes,
it's fine with me.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yeah, I know. And there's a wide variety of different treatments that
are available and certainly the conventional ones like ivermectin and
hydroxychloroquine, and quercetin and zinc.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Sure, sure, sure.
Dr. Joseph
Mercola: All right, well, I think that covers most of the questions I had and I
really am deeply appreciative of your lending your expertise and refining some
of my understanding of the pathology that was going on, especially with respect
to paradoxical immune enhancement. Do you have any other comments you'd like to
make or reinforce some of the earlier ones you made?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: I think I've said everything I have to say.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Okay, good. All right. And then the final question is, you had
alluded to the fact that you've written at least one book, maybe two. And I
think the current one is written in German, but you did have one of the most
important chapters converted to English and that's available as a free
download. So, how does someone obtain a copy of that?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: You go to the publisher, Goldegg.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Can you spell that?
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Yeah, it's G-O-L-D-E-G-G.
Dr. Joseph
Mercola: Goldegg, G-O-L-D-E-G-G. Okay. Dot com
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Put in a Bhakdi or put in “Corona Unmasked.”
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: “Corona Unmasked,” which is the title of your new book.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Of the book. Although it's in German, the title is English.
All right.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: It's good.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Okay, perfect.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: That's it.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: And I just have one personal curiosity. You've been in Germany
for what? Four decades.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Yeah, more.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Why don't you have a German accent and what type of accent do
you have? I mean, clearly it's a very
pleasant British type of accent.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: I went to an English school and an American school in Egypt.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Oh, interesting. Okay. So, that explains it. And you didn't
pick up any German accent, that's interesting. So, and you speak German
fluently, I would imagine.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Yes.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, thanks to you for all your work
and efforts and people will – I look forward to reading that chapter.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: Please do.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: Yeah, I will. All right, well, thanks again. Appreciate all
your help.
Dr.
Sucharit Bhakdi: You're welcome and goodbye.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola: All right, bye.

Story
at-a-glance.
·
According
to U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, if you’ve already recovered from a

control study claiming that unvaccinated people are “more than twice as likely

One
of several drawbacks of this study is that it did not look at illness severity.
It doesn’t tell us whether more vaccinated people were symptomatic than the
unvaccinated, or vice versa

According to U.S.
Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, if you’ve already recovered from a bout of
COVID-19, the full-spectrum immunity mounted by your body may not be enough to
prevent reinfection with the Delta variant, so your best bet is to get the
COVID shot. Mid-August 2021 he told CNN:1
“…
what we've understood, actually, from the studies about natural immunity, we
are seeing more and more data that tells us that while you get some protection
from natural infection, it's not nearly as strong as what you get from the
vaccine, especially with the Delta variant, which is the hardiest and most
contagious variant we've seen to date. We need all the protection that we can
get. That's why the vaccines are so effective."
Data
Analysis Claims Unvaccinated More Prone to Reinfection
August
6, 2021, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a case
control study2,3
claiming that unvaccinated people are “more than twice as likely to be
reinfected with COVID-19 than those who were fully vaccinated after initially
contracting the virus.”
The
study used data reported to Kentucky’s National Electronic Disease Surveillance
System (NEDSS) to assess SARS-CoV-2 reinfection rates in Kentucky during May
through June 2021 among those who’d had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between
March and December 2020.
The
NEDSS data were then imported into a REDCap database that tracks new COVID-19
cases. A case-patient was defined as a resident with laboratory-confirmed
SARS-CoV-2 infection in 2020 and a subsequent positive test result during May
1, 2021, through June 30, 2021.
Vaccination
status was determined using data from the Kentucky Immunization Registry.
Patients were considered fully vaccinated if a single dose of Johnson &
Johnson or a second dose of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) had been
administered at least 14 days before reinfection. Compared to fully vaccinated
residents, unvaccinated residents were 2.34 times more likely to test positive
for SARS-CoV-2 reinfection.
The
Obvious Flaw in CDC’s Study
The
elephant in the room, however, is the absence of actual symptomatic illness.
The study only looked at positive test results, and we do not know whether more
vaccinated people were symptomatic than the unvaccinated, or vice versa.
As
has been explained many times before, a positive test result is not the same as
active infection. A person with natural immunity may be re-exposed to the
virus, and traces of it may show upon testing, but their immune system has
effectively killed the virus and prevented illness.
So,
merely looking at positive test results is not the best way to ascertain
whether the COVID jab actually provides better protection than natural
immunity. And there are many reasons to suspect that it does not.
Other
Shortcomings
The
study authors also admit there are several other limitations to the findings,
including the following:4
“First,
reinfection was not confirmed through whole genome sequencing, which would be
necessary to definitively prove that the reinfection was caused from a distinct
virus relative to the first infection …
Second,
persons who have been vaccinated are possibly less likely to get tested.
Therefore, the association of reinfection and lack of vaccination might be
overestimated. Third, vaccine doses administered at federal or out-of-state
sites are not typically entered in KYIR, so vaccination data are possibly
missing for some persons in these analyses …
Fourth,
although case-patients and controls were matched based on age, sex, and date of
initial infection, other unknown confounders might be present. Finally, this is
a retrospective study design using data from a single state during a 2-month
period; therefore, these findings cannot be used to infer causation.”
It
is correct that association does not equate to causation, and we’ve been
repeatedly told to dismiss Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) data
for this very reason. Perhaps the same standard should be applied to this CDC
investigation, as it tells us very little about the actual risk associated with
reinfection.
For
all we know, those with natural immunity tested positive for reinfection but
had no symptoms, while vaccinated people tested positive and were actually ill.
Which, in that case, would be the preferable outcome?
Hospitalization
and Mortality Rates Are a Better Gauge
A
far better gauge of how well the COVID jabs are working would be serious
infection, hospitalization and death rates, and when we look at those, a
different picture emerges.
In
Israel, where vaccine uptake has been very high due to restrictions on freedom
for those who don’t comply,5
data show those who have received the COVID jab are 6.72 times more likely to
get infected than people who have recovered from natural infection.6,7,8
That
too refers to test results, so let’s look at hospitalization rates instead.
Here, we find a majority of serious cases and deaths are in fact occurring
among those injected with two doses.
The
following is a screenshot of graphs posted on Twitter.9 The red is
unvaccinated, yellow refers to partially “vaccinated” and green fully
“vaccinated” with two doses. The charts speak for themselves.
Do
not be deceived by claims that unvaccinated patients make up 99% of COVID-19
deaths and 95% of COVID-related hospitalizations in the United States.10
These
statistics were manufactured by looking at hospitalization and mortality data
from January through June 2021 — a time frame when COVID jab rates were low.
January 1, 2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot so,
clearly, unvaccinated made up the bulk of COVID-related hospitalizations last
winter. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots,11
and as of June 30, just 46.9% were “fully vaccinated.”12
Why
COVID Shot Cannot End COVID Outbreaks
Overall,
it doesn’t appear as though COVID-19 gene modification injections have the
ability to effectively eliminate COVID-19 outbreaks, and this makes sense,
seeing how it’s mathematically impossible for them to do so.
Since
the absolute risk that needs to be overcome is lower than the absolute risk
reduction these injections can provide, mass vaccination simply cannot have a
favorable impact, even with a vaccination rate of 100%.
The
four available COVID shots in the U.S. provide an absolute risk reduction
between just 0.7% and 1.3%.13,14 (Efficacy rates of 67% to 95% all
refer to the relative risk reduction.) Meanwhile, the noninstitutionalized
infection fatality ratio across age groups is a mere 0.26%.15
Since
the absolute risk that needs to be overcome is lower than the absolute risk
reduction these injections can provide, mass vaccination simply cannot have a
favorable impact, even with a vaccination rate of 100%.
Don’t
believe it? There’s proof. July 14, 2021, BBC News reported16
there’d been an outbreak on the British Defense aircraft carrier HMS Queen
Elizabeth. Despite the entire crew being fully injected, 100 crew members
tested positive. (It’s unclear whether any of them actually had symptoms.)
The
recent outbreak onboard a Carnival cruise line ship is another example. All
crew and passengers had presented proof of being jabbed, yet that didn’t
prevent an outbreak from taking place.17
The
reason is very simple. Just as we have been telling you from the beginning, the
shot does not prevent you from getting infected with the virus or spreading it
around. “Vaccinated” individuals have actually been shown to be just as
infectious as unvaccinated people. Even if they have fewer or milder symptoms,
their viral load is just as great when infected, according to the CDC.18
There’s
No Control Group to Compare Against Anymore
For
some reason, government leaders and health officials want a needle in every
arm, and they don’t care what the side effects of the shots might be. This is
evident by the fact that we now have tens of thousands of reported deaths
(according to one whistleblower, 45,000 deaths have occurred within three days
of injection19,20) and well over half a million injury reports
following COVID “vaccination,”21 yet no action is taken to slow down
or halt the campaign.
Historically,
mass vaccination campaigns have been halted and drugs withdrawn after 25 to 50
deaths (depending on the product). We’re so far past that now, one wonders if
there actually is a threshold at which authorities will take action to protect
the public from unnecessary medical injury and death.
VAERS
is tricky to maneuver, so the easiest way to get a glimpse into the current
status is to go to OpenVAERS.com, where
you get a simple summary breakdown of current COVID-related reports.
Equally
telling is the fact that all control groups have been eliminated from the
still-ongoing injection trials,22 with full support from a World
Health Organization Expert Working Group23 so, in the end, we’ll
have no way of really evaluating side effects.
This
is the perfect way to hide the truth about these shots, and it violates the
very basics of what a safety trial has always been required to have. You simply
must incorporate a control group to compare the effects of the drug against in
the long term, otherwise you will have no clue as to what complications have
arisen.
Safety
evaluations have also been intentionally undermined by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, which chose not to require vaccine makers to implement robust
post-injection data collection and follow-up on the general public.
On
top of that, the trials also do not appear to have oversight boards, which is
standard practice for all human clinical trials. There’s no Data Safety
Monitoring Board, no Clinical Event Committee and no Clinical Ethics Committee.
How could this be?
If
vaccine makers simply forgot to follow standard practices, it would mean we’re
dealing with a truly staggering level of incompetence, as all COVID jab
developers have made the same mistake. Which might be worse in this case?
Intentional negligence or unintentional incompetence?
COVID-19
Shots Confer Narrow Immunity
Getting
back to the issue of whether the COVID jab actually confers better protection
against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, this is highly unlikely seeing how the
shot confers a very narrow and specific kind of protection, whereas natural
immunity is broad.
When
it comes to SARS-CoV-2 — which is clearly a genetically manipulated virus
designed to attack your cardiovascular system and basic immune function — the
spike protein is the most dangerous part and acts as a toxin in and of itself.
This is why the spike protein was chosen as the antigen in these shots, but
it’s also why so many are having side effects from them.
When
you get a COVID shot, your body is instructed to manufacture the spike protein.
In response, your body then produces antibodies against that spike protein.
Those antibodies recognize only the spike protein and not other parts of the
virus.
When
you recover from a natural infection, your body has antibodies against all
parts of the virus, so the spike protein plus four other proteins. In addition
to that, you have memory T cells, which appear even more important than
antibodies when it comes to battling viruses.
Does
it make sense that one type of antibody would be more effective against a virus
that may have mutated one or more of its proteins? Or is it more likely that
having several types of antibodies plus memory T cells will offer greater
protection?
If
you pay attention, you will find that no one ever offers a sensible explanation
as to why a single anti-spike antibody would be better than T cells and
antibodies against all parts of the virus.
Natural
Immunity Is Robust and Long-Lasting
Many
studies have been published demonstrating that natural immunity against
SARS-CoV-2 is both robust and long-lasting. For example, a May 2020 study24,25
found 70% of samples from patients who had recovered from mild cases of
COVID-19 had resistance to SARS-CoV-2 on the T-cell level.
Interestingly,
40% to 60% of people who had not been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 also had resistance
to the virus on the T-cell level. According to the authors, this suggests
there’s “cross-reactive T cell recognition between circulating ‘common cold’
coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2.”
A
German paper26 came to a similar conclusion. Here, they found helper
T cells that targeted the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in 15 of 18 patients
hospitalized with COVID-19. Yet another study,27,28,29 this one by
Singaporean researchers, found common colds caused by the betacoronaviruses
OC43 and HKU1 might make you more resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
What’s
more, they found that patients who became infected with the original SARS virus
back in 2003 still had memory T cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2, despite the
virus being only 80% similar. This study suggests natural immunity is likely to
last decades, not months, like the COVID shot.
Unvaccinated
Falsely Accused of Being ‘Disease Factories’
While
mainstream media are now pushing the idea that those who refuse the COVID shot
are to blame for the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, a number of health
experts have warned that the complete opposite scenario would occur — that mass
injections, causing a very narrow band of antibodies, will force more rapid
mutations of the virus.30
A
general principle in biology, vaccinology and microbiology is that if you put
living organisms like bacteria or viruses under pressure, via antibiotics or
antibodies, for example, but don’t kill them off completely, you can
inadvertently encourage their mutation into more virulent strains. Those that escape
your immune system end up surviving and selecting mutations to ensure their
further survival.
If
an individual who does not have a narrow band of antibodies becomes infected,
then, if mutation does occur, it’s far less likely to result in a more
aggressive virus. So, while mutation can occur in both vaccinated and
unvaccinated people, vaccinated individuals are actually far more likely to
pressure the virus into a mutation that strengthens it and makes it more
dangerous.
CDC
Misrepresents Data to Push Jab on Those With Immunity
So
far, the CDC has refused to change its stance on the matter. Instead, officials
at the agency seem to have doubled down and actually go out of their way to
misrepresent data in an effort to harass those with natural immunity to
inappropriately take the jab, which is clinically unnecessary and potentially
dangerous.
In
a report issued by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
(ACIP) December 18, 2020, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine was said to have
“consistent high efficacy” of 92% or more among persons with underlying medical
conditions as well as among participants with evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2
infection.31
After
looking at the Pfizer trial data, Rep. Thomas Massie — a Republican Congressman
for Kentucky and an award-winning scientist — discovered that’s completely
wrong. In a January 30, 2021, Full Measure report, investigative journalist
Sharyl Attkisson described how Massie tried, in vain, to get the CDC to correct
its error. According to Massie:32,33
“There
is no efficacy demonstrated in the Pfizer trial among participants with
evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infections and actually there's no proof in the
Moderna trial either … It [the CDC report] says the exact opposite of what the
data says.”
After
multiple phone calls, CDC deputy director Dr. Anne Schuchat finally
acknowledged the error and told Massie it would be fixed. “As you note
correctly, there is not sufficient analysis to show that in the subset of only
the people with prior infection, there's efficacy. So, you're correct that that
sentence is wrong and that we need to make a correction of it,” Schuchat said
in the recorded call.
January
29, 2021, the CDC issued its supposed correction, but rather than fix the
error, they simply rephrased the mistake in a different way. This was the “correction”
they issued:
“Consistent
high efficacy (≥92%) was observed across age, sex, race, and ethnicity
categories and among persons with underlying medical conditions. Efficacy was
similarly high in a secondary analysis including participants both with or
without evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.”
As
you can see, the “correction” still misleadingly suggests that vaccination is
effective for those previously infected, even though the data showed no such
thing.
I
don’t know why the surgeon general insists the COVID jab offers better
protection against variants than natural immunity. I don’t see how it could.
The lack of rational medical explanation is suspicious, and perhaps that’s why
40% of the American population has yet to take the jab.34

Aldous Huxley, an
English writer and philosopher, wrote nearly 50 books, the most famous being
“Brave New World,” a dystopian science-fiction novel published in 1932. The
world in the novel is a futuristic one based on science and technology.
Emotions and the sense of individuality are eliminated, starting in childhood,
via the use of conditioning.1
It’s
a work of fiction, but concepts on which it is based, including the power to
condition humans to accept an abnormal state of life, are not. In the video
above, you can hear a 1962 interview with Huxley, in which he speaks about the
use of persuasion and conditioning to gain ultimate power and control over
society.
“If
you are going to control a population for any length of time you must have some
measure of consent,” he said.2 His words ring eerily true in 2021.
Conditioning
Humans to Love Servitude
Frederick
Douglas once said, “When a slave becomes a happy slave, he has effectively
relinquished all that makes him human.”3 How does a human get to the point of loving
their servitude, or consenting to live in, and even enjoy, a state of affairs
that they should not?
Often,
it’s through techniques of terrorism. While the word implies violence, some of
the most profound and dangerous techniques combine methods of terror with
methods of acceptance, Huxley said. By bringing in elements of persuasion, it’s
possible for a controlling oligarchy to get people to love their servitude.
In
1957, William Sargant published “Battle for the Mind,” which delves into the
techniques used by evangelists, psychiatrists and politicians to change beliefs
and behavior. Religious leaders produce conversions, Huxley said, by
heightening psychological stress, talking about hell, then releasing this
stress by offering a promise of heaven. Prisoners of war can be similarly
brainwashed and pressured into making admissions of guilt.
Pavlov’s
dogs study is one of the most well-known displays of the power of conditioning.
The dogs salivated not only in response to food but in response to any object
or event that they learned to associated with food.4
The
findings also apply to humans, who can be conditioned to associate abstract
images with food, as shown by researchers with the Wellcome department of
neuroimaging science at University College London.5
When
shown pictures of the food-associated images, their reaction times increased
and areas of their brain involved in motivation and emotional processes were
activated.
After
Pavlov’s demonstration of classical conditioning, the profound observations
“sunk into the creature,” Huxley said, and Pavlovian methods were recognized as
tools that could be applied with extraordinary efficiency, creating large
armies of totally devoted people.
Ultimate
Power Involves Voluntary Acceptance
Non-terroristic
methods are also essential in gaining ultimate control, as some measure of
voluntary acceptance is necessary. Suggestion and hypnosis are two examples.
According to Huxley, about 20% of people are easily hypnotized, while 20% are
very difficult, if not impossible, to hypnotize. The remaining 60%, the
majority, can be gradually hypnotized if you work hard enough at it.6
Similar
figures apply to the power of placebo, or suggestion, Huxley said, referring to
a study on the administration of morphine or a placebo following surgery. The
subjects were experiencing similar levels of pain and were able to receive
injections for pain relief whenever requested. Half the injections were
morphine and half were distilled water, the placebo.
While
20% of the subjects got just as much pain relief from the placebo as from the
morphine, 20% got no relief from the placebo and 60% got some or occasional relief
from the placebo.7
Such studies are important, because it isn’t hard to figure out which segment
of the population is extremely vulnerable to suggestion and which is in the
intermediate space.
As
Huxley pointed out, such differences allow for organized society to exist,
because if everyone were unsuggestable, there would be no order to society. At
the other end of the spectrum, if everyone were highly suggestable,
dictatorship would be inevitable. Having the majority of people in the
“moderately suggestable” category is a happy medium, allowing for the formation
and preservation of organized society.
At
the same time, the fact that there are 20% of people who are extremely
vulnerable to suggestion is of enormous political importance. Whoever gets
ahold of the 20% can easily overthrow any government or country, Huxley said,
using the example of Hitler to show what can be done using the power of
suggestion.
Hitler
understood human weaknesses and exploited them. For instance, knowing that
conditioning is easier when people are tired, Hitler held all of his big
speeches at night solely so that people would be tired and therefore less
capable of resisting persuasion.
What
Are the Limits of Human Obedience?
In
1962, in a now infamous experiment, Yale University psychologist Stanley
Milgram tested the limits of human obedience to authority. The study
administrator instructed the study subjects — the “teachers” — to give electric
shocks to a student.
The
“student” was actually an actor, but the study subjects were unaware of this,
and complied with the demands to shock him whenever he gave an incorrect
response to a question. Even as the student moaned, begged for the shocks to
stop and ultimately stopped responding, the subjects obeyed the authority
figure in the room and issued painful electric shocks.
The
subjects were clearly uncomfortable with the task at times, but still
continued, showing that people may carry out heinous acts when ordered to do so
by authorities because they feel less responsible for the behavior in this
capacity.8
The
Milgram experiment was later criticized for being unethical and, in the U.S.,
studies that cause subjects serious distress were later banned. However,
similar studies in Europe confirmed the results, suggesting that people will
willingly and blindly obey authoritarian orders, especially if they feel
disconnected from their actions.9
With
societal norms rapidly changing, and an increasingly authoritative environment
emerging, will humans stop thinking for themselves and proceed fully into a
world where privacy no longer exists and citizens turn in their neighbors if
they buck the status quo?
You’ll
Own Nothing and Love It
Huxley’s
science-fiction world in which people learn to love their servitude sounds
terrifying to most free thinking humans. But it’s something that’s being openly
discussed. Top political figures and Big Tech leaders are using the common
refrain that the COVID-19 pandemic has provided an opportunity to “reset” and
“build back better.”
“Build
back better” is a tagline of sorts for The Great Reset,10 and though this is
being played off as a new initiative, it’s simply a rebranding of terms for
technocracy and the old “New World Order.”
An
elite oligarchy is behind this technocratic plan to govern society through technology,
programmed by scientists and technicians and automated through the use of
artificial intelligence, rather than through democratically elected politicians
and government leaders.
The
current pandemic is being used as a justification for the movement, but the
agenda has nothing to do with health and everything to do with a long-term plan
to monitor and control the world through technical surveillance. Part of the
“new normal” dictum is that you will own nothing and be happy. This excerpt was
written by Ida Auken, agenda contributor to the World Economic Forum (WEF):11
“Welcome
to the year 2030. Welcome to my city — or should I say, "our city." I
don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any
appliances or any clothes.
It
might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city.
Everything you considered a product, has now become a service … Once in a while
I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. Nowhere I can go and
not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of
is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me. All in all, it is
a good life.”
The
unstated implication is that the world’s resources will be owned and controlled
by the technocratic elite, and you’ll have to pay for the temporary use of
absolutely everything.
Nothing
will actually belong to you. All items and resources are to be used by the
collective, while actual ownership is restricted to an upper stratum of social
class. Through the power of conditioning, humans could come to not only accept
this new form of society, but love it.
The
Conditioning Has Already Begun
The
very purpose of “building back better” is to do away with what was once
“normal” and replace it with something different. According to WEF, this
entails “reinventing capitalism”:12
“A
true recovery from COVID-19 will not be about putting things back together the
way they were: we need to ‘build back better’, to 'reset', if we are to address
the deep systemic vulnerabilities the pandemic has exposed.
…
If we don’t seize this opportunity to build back better — to reset and reinvent
rather than 'return to normal' — systemic risks and vulnerabilities will
continue to accumulate, making future shocks both more likely and more
dangerous.
Despite
the tragedy, we must leverage the COVID-19 pandemic, and make sure that it
becomes the catalyst for a profoundly positive transformation of the global
economy, taking us closer to a world in which everyone can live well, within
planetary boundaries.”
If
you don’t think this is possible, consider that the conditioning has already
begun. Using fear as a driving force, society not only adapted to but embraced
lockdowns, universal masking and mass vaccination with an experimental
injection, all without solid data to back up the effectiveness and necessity of
these draconian measures.
The
vaccines were supposed to stop the spread of COVID-19, but fully vaccinated
people can still transmit the virus,13 and censorship of anyone who speaks out about
the numerous inconsistencies has become rampant. With the roll out of vaccine
passports, unvaccinated people are being increasingly excluded from society,
facing a loss of privileges14
and being morally shamed and labeled selfish.
In
New York City, as of August 16, 2021, proof of vaccination will be required to
enter restaurants, gyms and theaters.15 As civil liberties, privacy and freedom are
being slowly chipped away, all for a virus with a documented high survival
rate,16 many
are supportive of even more questionable restrictions. There are also those,
however, who are increasingly rebelling against lockdowns and vaccine
passports.
In
July 2021, after France’s parliament approved a law that requires a vaccine
passport to enter restaurants, trains, planes and certain other public venues,
more than 160,000 people, including 11,000 in Paris, protested against the
“health pass,” even as police released tear gas and water cannons against some
of the protestors.17
Therein
may lie one key to stopping the conditioning being foisted upon the public,
namely speaking out against what you don’t believe is right. The alternative is
much darker, and you can get a glimpse into such an authoritarian future from
George Orwell, who said:18
“In
our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph and
self-abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated. We shall abolish the
orgasm. There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the party, but always there
will be the intoxication of power. Always, at every moment, there will be the
thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who’s helpless.
If
you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face,
forever. The moral to be draw from this dangerous nightmare situation is a
simple one. Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”

“We need to regain trust” is the theme of the year, according to remarks made by the World Economic Forum’s executive chairman Klaus Schwab in January 2021. But trust may be hard to engineer in an age of professional disinformation campaigns by governments, the mainstream media, and a handful of powerful elite public relations companies.
World Economic Forum’s executive chairman Klaus Schwab in January 2021. But trust may be hard to engineer in an age of professional disinformation campaigns by governments, the mainstream media, and a handful of powerful elite public relations companies.
Edelman, an American public relations and marketing consultancy firm founded by Daniel J. Edelman in 1952, is the largest public relations firm in the world by revenue, and some would also say by reputation. Today, the company is run by Daniel Edelman’s son, Richard Edelman. It is a firm with a rich history of controversial efforts to completely change the narrative of some of the most contentious modern issues. It also boasts close ties to the World Economic Forum and the Forum’s attempt to engineer “trust” in its various agendas.
Edelman is often found representing organizations experiencing what could be best termed as public relations nightmare scenarios. Edelman, with its previous experience representing the American Petroleum Institute—the trade association for the oil and gas industry that lobbied for the Keystone XL pipeline and the fossil fuel exploration of the Canadian tar sands—is no stranger to advocating for companies stuck in atypical negative PR situations with little, if any, possible positive outcomes. If you are a giant corporation with a reputation to launder, then Edelman is the go-to professional firm to help your organization rebuild its image or to simply help mitigate as much reputational damage as possible.
Edelman has worked on behalf of some of the most powerful businesses in the corporate world, including Microsoft, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, Wal-Mart, and General Electric to name just a tiny fraction of their past and present clientele. The company is one of the largest PR firms in the world for a reason: it fights dirty, and in doing so it often uses imaginative, yet underhanded, methods of manufacturing public consent.

Pfizer’s
COVID Shot Granted Full Approval
by Joseph Marcola
August
31, 2021
Story
at-a-glance
August 23, 2021, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration granted full approval1 to the COVID-19 mRNA
injection developed by Pfizer/BioNTech, sold under
the brand name Comirnaty, for use in people aged 16
and older.
It’s
the fastest approval in history,2 granted
less than four months after Pfizer filed for licensing May 7, 2021.3 It’s also based on just six months’ worth of data from 44,047 people aged 16
and older. Half of them got the shots and half initially received a placebo.
However,
in the second week of December 2020, Pfizer unblinded the control group and 93% of controls opted to get the real injection4 rather than remain in the control group for the remainder of the trial, which
is slated to continue for another two years.
Pfizer
CEO Albert Bourla commented on the FDA’s approval,
saying it “affirms the efficacy and safety profile of our vaccine,” and that
he’s “hopeful this approval will help increase confidence in our vaccine …”5
According
to STAT News,6 public health officials hope
the approval “will persuade some people who remain hesitant about the vaccine
to get the shot,” and will “make it easier for some public and private
organizations to require vaccination.”
FDA
Ditches Public Hearing, Circumventing Established Norms
Normally,
the FDA will hold a formal hearing and allow for public and expert input before
a drug is moved from emergency use authorization to full approval, but nothing
is normal when it comes to COVID.
In
this instance, no such hearing was held, and an FDA spokesperson called it
unnecessary, because the public had been allowed to comment on all three
COVID-19 jabs — Pfizer’s, Moderna’s and Johnson &
Johnson’s — during a December 20, 2020, Vaccines and Related Biological
Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) meeting. According to many, that isn’t
good enough.7 As reported by The BMJ:8
“Kim Witczak, a drug safety advocate who serves as a
consumer representative on the FDA’s Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory
Committee, said the decision removed an important mechanism for scrutinizing
the data.
‘These
public meetings are imperative in building trust and confidence especially when
the vaccines came to market at lightning speed under emergency use
authorization,’ she said.
‘The
public deserves a transparent process, especially as the call for boosters and
mandates are rapidly increasing. These meetings offer a platform where
questions can be raised, problems tackled, and data scrutinized in advance of
an approval.’
Witczak is one of the more than 30 signatories of a citizen
petition calling on the FDA to refrain from fully approving any COVID-19
vaccine this year to gather more data. She warned that without a meeting ‘we have
no idea what the data looks like.’
‘It
is already concerning that full approval is being based on 6 months’ worth of
data despite the clinical trials designed for two years,’ she said. ‘There is
no control group after Pfizer offered the product to placebo participants
before the trials were completed.
Full
approval of covid-19 vaccines must be done in an open public forum for all to
see. It could set a precedent of lowered standards for future vaccine
approvals.’”
Media
Are Lying About Pfizer’s FDA Approval
Before
we go any further, let’s clear up what the FDA actually approved, because they
did not approve the Pfizer shot currently given. In the interview above, Dr.
Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vaccine platform, explains how we are being misled, yet again.
The
injection that got the FDA approval is a Pfizer/BioNTech collaboration, to be sold under the brand name Comirnaty,
and this injection is not currently available. Malone explains:
“The
little trick that they’ve done here, is they’ve issued
two separate letters for two separate vaccines. The Pfizer vaccine, which is
what is currently available, is still under emergency use authorization and it
still has the liability shield. Once again, the mainstream media have lied to
you …
The
product that’s licensed is the BioNTech product,
which is substantially similar but not necessarily identical, called Comirnaty, and it’s not yet available. They haven’t started
manufacturing it or labeling it. And that’s the one the liability waiver will
no longer apply to.
So,
the one that’s actually licensed is not yet available, and when it does become
available it will no longer have the liability shield. In the interim, the one
that does have the liability shield is the Pfizer product and that is what is
currently available and it’s still under emergency use authorization.”
What
this means is, if you want to get the licensed COVID shot, you have to wait.
This also means that if employers demand that employees get vaccinated because
there’s now a licensed COVID injection, employees should then demand to
actually receive the FDA licensed Comirnaty,9 not the emergency use only10 Pfizer product that is currently being
given.
FDA
‘Tricking Us Into Giving Up Our Right to Refuse’
Now,
while the two products are not necessarily identical, the FDA in its infinite
wisdom has decreed that the two can be used interchangeably, but their legal
statuses, however, are not interchangeable. As explained by Robert F. Kennedy
Jr. and Dr. Meryl Nass in a recent article:11
“There
is a huge real-world difference between products approved under EUA compared
with those the FDA has fully licensed. EUA products are experimental under U.S. law. Both the
Nuremberg Code and federal regulations provide that no one can force a human
being to participate in this experiment.
Under 21 U.S. Code Sec.360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III),
‘authorization for medical products for use in emergencies,’ it is unlawful to
deny someone a job or an education because they refuse to be an experimental
subject. Instead, potential recipients have an absolute right to refuse EUA
vaccines. U.S. laws, however, permit employers and
schools to require students and workers to take licensed vaccines.
EUA-approved
COVID vaccines have an extraordinary liability shield under the 2005 Public Readiness and Preparedness Act.
Vaccine manufacturers, distributors, providers and government planners are
immune from liability.
The
only way an injured party can sue is if he or she can prove willful misconduct,
and if the U.S. government has also brought an enforcement action against the
party for willful misconduct. No such lawsuit has ever succeeded.
The
government has created an extremely stingy compensation program, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program,
to redress injuries from all EUA products …
At
least for the moment, the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine
has no liability shield. Vials of the branded product, which say “Comirnaty” on the label, are subject to the same product
liability laws as other U.S. products …
Just
as with Ford’s exploding Pinto, or Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, people injured
by the Comirnaty vaccine could potentially sue for
damages. And because adults injured by the vaccine will be able to show that
the manufacturer knew of the problems with the product, jury awards could be
astronomical.
Pfizer
is therefore unlikely to allow any American to take a Comirnaty vaccine until it can somehow arrange immunity for this product.
Given
this background, the FDA’s acknowledgement in its approval letter that there
are insufficient stocks of the licensed Comirnaty,
but an abundant supply of the EUA Pfizer BioNTech jab, exposes the “approval” as a cynical scheme to encourage businesses and
schools to impose illegal jab mandates.
The
FDA’s clear motivation is to enable Pfizer to quickly unload inventories of a
vaccine that science and the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System have
exposed as unreasonably dangerous, and that the Delta variant has rendered
obsolete.
Americans, told that the Pfizer COVID vaccine is now licensed,
will understandably assume COVID vaccine mandates are lawful. But only
EUA-authorized vaccines, for which no one has any real liability, will be
available during the next few weeks when many school mandate deadlines occur.
The
FDA appears to be purposefully tricking American citizens into giving up their
right to refuse an experimental product … Here’s what you need to know when
somebody orders you to get the vaccine: Ask to see the vial. If it says ‘Comirnaty,’ it’s a licensed product.
If
it says ‘Pfizer-BioNTech,’ it’s an experimental
product, and under 21 U.S. Code 360bbb, you have the right to
refuse. If it comes from Moderna or Johnson &
Johnson (marketed as Janssen), you have the right to refuse.
The
FDA is playing bait and switch with the American public — but we don’t have to
play along. If it doesn’t say Comirnaty, you have not
been offered an approved vaccine.”
Approval
by Captured Agency Hardly Affirms Safety
While
the notion of full approval might sway some fence-sitters, especially if they
don’t understand that the licensed product is not what you get if you get a
Pfizer shot right now, it’s unlikely to influence
those who have kept an eye on the skyrocketing number of adverse event reports
logged into the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS).
As
of August 13, 2021, VAERS had logged 595,620 adverse events following COVID
injection, including 54,142 hospitalizations and 13,608 deaths.12 While these numbers are completely unheard of — with reported deaths from
COVID-19 shots exceeding the reported death rate of more than 70 vaccines
combined over the past 30 years — they may still be just the tip of the
iceberg.
Previous
investigations have shown VAERS reports account for a mere 1%13,14 to 10%15 of all vaccine-related
injuries, which means the death toll from these jabs may be in the six-digits
already.
The
notion that a “vaccine” that has killed more people in nine months than all
other vaccines combined in three decades is considered safe really stretches
the bounds of credulity. It’s simply not believable, and to many simply reaffirms the suspicion that the FDA is a captured agency working
for the benefit of Big Pharma rather than
safeguarding the public from dangerous drugs.
As
noted by a commenter on BMJ associate editor Peter Doshi’s article “Does the FDA Think These Data Justify the First Full Approval of a
COVID-19 Vaccine?” republished by The Defender:16
“The
Fraud and Death Administration has really outdone itself this time. Owned by pharma, serving pharma, to the extreme detriment to humanity. They
deserve to be shuttered permanently, they are an
organization of criminals.”
Risk
of Heart Inflammation Acknowledged
The
FDA didn’t go so far as to give the Pfizer shot a completely clean bill of
health, however. As reported by STAT News:17
“The
FDA’s prescribing information for the vaccine includes its associated risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, two
types of heart inflammation that have appeared rarely among people who’ve
received the mRNA vaccines, mostly within seven days after the second shot,
health officials said. Men under 40 appear to be at higher risk than women and
older men, with the highest observed risk in boys age 12 to 17.”
According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, As of August 18, 2021, VAERS
had received 1,339 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis in people under the age of 30 following COVID
injection, with a majority of these cases being associated with the Pfizer
shot.18
Pfizer’s
new Comirnaty package insert19 also clearly
states at the top of its first page under “Warnings and Precautions” that “postmarketing data demonstrate increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis,
particularly within seven days of the second dose.”
Then,
under Section 5.2 of the insert, Pfizer has added an entire section explaining
the details of those adverse effects, and directing readers to a CDC webpage20 that addresses those effects in adolescents and young adults.
Heart
Inflammation Study Won’t End Until 2025
In
its approval letter for Comirnaty,21 the FDA
orders Pfizer/BioNTech to conduct research to
investigate the risk of inflammation in and around the heart, as voluntary
reporting mechanisms are insufficient:
“We
have determined that an analysis of spontaneous postmarketing adverse events reported under section 505(k)(1) of the
FDCA will not be sufficient to assess known serious risks of myocarditis and pericarditis and
identify an unexpected serious risk of subclinical myocarditis.
Furthermore,
the pharmacovigilance system that FDA is required to
maintain under section 505(k)(3) of the FDCA is not
sufficient to assess these serious risks.
Therefore,
based on appropriate scientific data, we have determined that you are required
to conduct the following studies: 4. Study C4591009, entitled ‘A
Non-Interventional Post-Approval Safety Study of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine in the United States,’ to evaluate the occurrence of myocarditis and pericarditis following administration of COMIRNATY.”
The
FDA accepted Pfizer’s suggested timetable for the post-approval study to
evaluate incidence of heart and heart sack inflammation, which includes the
submission of an interim report at the end of October 2023, a study completion
date of June 30, 2025, and submission of a final report October 31, 2025.
Modern-Day Child Sacrifice?
The
notion that the current Pfizer shot or the BioNTech product, Comirnaty, are “safe” is rather ludicrous in
light of all this, and the idea that the FDA is even considering approving the
shot for children as young as 1222 — and are running trials on
babies — is completely incomprehensible. Even worse, Fauci is pushing for infant approval by the end of the year.23
The myocarditis study for Comirnaty (which may or may not be as dangerous as the current Pfizer shot) won’t be
completed until four years from now, yet they see it fit to give this
experimental injection to every last child in the United States? What are they
thinking? Is it really wise to trade the risk of flu-like illness for heart
damage? From the start of this pandemic, children have proven very resistant to
SARS-CoV-2 infection and rarely ever suffer any significantly ill effects.
As
reported by NPR,24 Pfizer’s youth trial,
which includes children between the ages of 6 months and 11 years, doesn’t even
test “to see whether the vaccine actually prevents children from getting sick.”
Instead of assessing actual symptoms, the trial “will look at their blood to
see if they are making the kinds of antibodies that have been shown to prevent
disease.”
In
other words, all they’re looking for is the antibody against the synthetic
spike protein your body produces. But that antibody is not the best way to
assess protection, as the protection is very narrow. Actual viruses contain
several different proteins against which your body produces both antibodies and
memory T cells when you’re infected naturally.
This
is why natural immunity is far more robust and long-lasting, and why the claim
that vaccine-induced protection is superior to natural immunity is false. In my
view, experimenting on children and not even doing a comprehensive job of it is
simply unconscionable.
Do
Data Justify Full Approval of Pfizer’s COVID Jab?
In
the morning of August 23, 2021, mere hours before the FDA announced its
approval of the Pfizer shot, Doshi published a BMJ blog questioning whether available data could really support
full approval. He wrote:25
“On
28 July 2021, Pfizer and BioNTech posted updated
results for their ongoing phase 3 covid-19 vaccine trial. The preprint came
almost a year to the day after the historical trial commenced, and nearly four
months since the companies announced vaccine efficacy estimates ‘up to six
months.’
But
you won’t find 10 month follow-up data here. While the preprint is new, the
results it contains aren’t particularly up to date. In fact, the paper is based
on the same data cut-off date (13 March 2021) as the 1 April press release, and
its topline efficacy result is identical: 91.3% …
vaccine efficacy against symptomatic covid-19 through ‘up to six months of
follow-up.’
The
20 page preprint matters because it represents the most detailed public account
of the pivotal trial data Pfizer submitted in pursuit of the world’s first
‘full approval’ of a coronavirus vaccine from the
Food and Drug Administration. It deserves careful scrutiny.”
Doshi points out that while Pfizer has touted a 95%
efficacy rate, and even higher against severe disease, this refers to relative
risk reduction, not absolute risk reduction, which is actually an insignificant
0.7%26 to 0.84%.27 Moreover, “measuring
vaccine efficacy two months after dosing says little about just how long
vaccine-induced immunity will last,” Doshi says.
6-Month
Preprint Showed Evidence of Waning Immunity
Rapidly
waning immunity is the proverbial elephant in the room, according to Doshi, who points to Israeli data showing Pfizer’s shot
went from a 95% effectiveness at the outset, to 64% in
early July 2021 and 39% by late July, when the Delta strain became predominant.
“This is very low,” Doshi says, pointing out that the FDA’s expectation for any vaccine is an efficacy rate of
at least 50%.
Waning
efficacy has the potential to be far more than a minor inconvenience; it can
dramatically change the risk-benefit calculus. ~ Peter Doshi
The
FDA cannot claim it doesn’t know the protection offered is pathetically short,
as Pfizer’s preprint, which contained six months’ worth of data, showed
evidence of rapidly waning immunity as early as March 13, 2021.
By
the fourth month into the trial, efficacy had dropped from 96% to 90%, and one
month after that, it was down to 84%. Curiously, while Pfizer had this data in
April 2021, they didn’t publish it until the end of July 2021. Still, that’s
what the FDA is basing its decision on.
What’s
more, this rapid drop in effectiveness could hardly be due to the emergence of
the Delta variant, Doshi adds, because 77% of trial
participants were in the U.S., where the Delta variant didn’t become
established until months after the data cut-off date.
“Waning
efficacy has the potential to be far more than a minor inconvenience; it can
dramatically change the risk-benefit calculus,” Doshi writes.28“And whatever its
cause — intrinsic properties of the vaccine, the circulation of new variants,
some combination of the two, or something else — the bottom line is that
vaccines need to be effective.
Until
new clinical trials demonstrate that boosters increase efficacy above 50%,
without increasing serious adverse events, it is unclear whether the 2-dose
series would even meet the FDA’s approval standard at six or nine months.”
There’s
NO Control Group in This Mass Experiment
Making
matters even worse, Pfizer, like all other COVID jab developers, went ahead and
eliminated their control groups at the end of 2020. So, we’re figuratively
flying blind, having nothing to compare the vaccinated treatment group against.
This
is a recipe for disaster, as it effectively hides side effects. If large
numbers of people suddenly start developing a health problem, it can simply be
written off as a new normal and/or can be blamed on some other environmental
factor. Doshi comments on how this decision impacts
our ability to evaluate any data coming out of these trials:29
“Despite
the reference to ‘six month safety and efficacy’ in the preprint’s title, the
paper only reports on vaccine efficacy ‘up to six months,’ but not from six
months.
This
is not semantics, as it turns out only 7% of trial participants actually
reached six months of blinded follow-up (‘8% of BNT162b2 recipients and 6% of
placebo recipients had ≥6 months follow-up post-dose 2.’) …
This
all happened because starting last December, Pfizer allowed all trial
participants to be formally unblinded, and placebo
recipients to get vaccinated. By 13 March 2021 (data cut-off), 93% of trial
participants (41,128 of 44,060 …) were unblinded,
officially entering ‘open-label followup’ …
So
despite this preprint appearing a year after the trial began, it provides no
data on vaccine efficacy past six months, which is the period Israel says
vaccine efficacy has dropped to 39%.
It
is hard to imagine that the <10% of trial participants who remained blinded
at six months (which presumably further dwindled after 13 March 2021) could
constitute a reliable or valid sample to produce further findings.”
With
the approval of Comirnaty, a formal package insert30 has been released, and in section 6.1, they clearly state they’ve not had placebo
participants since December 2020, not even among teenagers:31
“Section
6.1 — Upon issuance of the Emergency Use Authorization
(December 11, 2020) for COMIRNATY, participants were unblinded to offer placebo participants COMIRNATY. Participants were unblinded in a phased manner over a period of months to offer placebo participants
COMIRNATY.”
While
a formal package insert now exists for Pfizer’s mRNA shot, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention will not issue Vaccine Information Statements
(VIS) for it, but will continue to use online fact sheets. (The use of online
fact sheets is why all package inserts for the COVID shots have been completely
blank.)
If You’re ‘Vaccinated’ You May Be High-Risk for COVID
As
discussed in yesterday’s lead article (August 30, 2021), data are now mounting
showing people over the age of 50 who are “fully vaccinated” actually make up
the bulk of COVID-19 related hospitalizations and deaths in that age group. One
possible explanation for this is that antibody dependent enhancement is afoot,
which makes people more prone to serious illness rather than less.
To
be on the safe side, I recommend considering yourself “high-risk” for severe COVID if you’ve received one or more shots, and
implement known effective treatment at the first sign of a respiratory
infection.
Options
include the Zelenko protocol,32 the MATH+
protocols33 and nebulized hydrogen
peroxide, as detailed in Dr. David Brownstein’s case paper34 and Dr.
Thomas Levy’s free e-book, “Rapid Virus Recovery.” Whichever treatment
protocol you use, make sure you begin treatment as soon as possible, ideally at
first onset of symptoms.
