nowing how contentious the COVID vaccine issue is, part of me would rather write about something else. The discussion and news on this topic seems so one-sided, though, I feel I should speak up. #1: Vaccine Makers Are Immune from Liability The only industry in the world that bears no liability for injuries or deaths resulting from their products are vaccine manufacturers. Established in 1986 with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and reinforced by the PREP Act, vaccine makers cannot be sued, even if they are shown to be negligent. If a company is not willing to stand behind their product, I am not taking a chance on their product. #2: The Checkered Past of the Vaccine Companies The four major companies making COVID vaccines either have never brought a vaccine to market before COVID (Moderna); are serial felons (Pfizer and Astra Zeneca); or both (Johnson & Johnson). Moderna had been trying to “Modernize our RNA”—thus the company name—for years, but had never successfully brought any product to market. How nice (for them) to get a major cash infusion from the government to keep trying. All other major vaccine makers have paid out tens of billions of dollars in damages for other products they brought to market. If drug companies willfully choose to put harmful products on the market when they can be sued, why would we trust any product for which they have no liability? #3: The Ugly History of Attempts at Coronavirus Vaccines In the 1960s, when animal trials were not yet required, scientists attempted to make a Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccine for infants. When exposed to the natural virus, 80% of the vaccinated infants required hospitalization, and two of them died. For the past 20 years, all attempts to create coronavirus (common cold) vaccines have ended in failure. Animals in those trials got sick and many died, just like those babies in the 1960s, which is why we did not have a vaccine as of 2020. Nor has the mRNA gene-therapy technology been safely brought to market, despite the billions of dollars in government funding.
#4: “Data Gaps” Submitted to FDA by Vaccine Makers When vaccine makers applied for Emergency Use Authorization, among the many “data gaps” reported was that nothing in their trials even suggests the vaccines’ safety or efficacy regarding: •
Anyone younger than 18 or older than 55
•
Pregnant or lactating women
•
Auto-immune conditions
•
Immuno-compromised individuals
•
Transmission of COVID, preventing mortality from COVID, or duration of protection from COVID
#5: No Access to Raw Data from the Trials Would you like to see the raw data that produced the “90% and 95% effective” claims touted in the news? Me too. But they won’t let us see that data. As the BMJ says, something about the efficacy claims smells awfully funny... #6: No Informed Consent What most people receiving the vaccine don’t know is that these products are still in clinical trials, so anyone getting the shot is now part of an experiment. Those who do not take it, like me, are part of the “control group.” Time will tell how this experiment works out. But if the vaccines are causing harm, wouldn’t we be seeing that all over the news? Well, if the adverse events reporting system was working, maybe things would be different. #7: Under-Reporting of Adverse Reactions and Death According to a study done by Harvard, fewer than 1% of all adverse reactions to vaccines are actually submitted to the National Vaccine Adverse Events Reports System (VAERS). While the problems with VAERS have not been fixed (as discussed in a letter to the CDC), at the time this was written, “VAERS data shows 118,902 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines, including 3,544 deaths and 12,619 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020, and April 23, 2021.” If those numbers only represent 1% of the total adverse reactions, that equates to somewhere around 354,400 deaths and a ridiculous number of adverse reactions to date.
