Vaccines–Too Little, Too Late?

    Trust in institutions, authorities, and Big Pharma is scraping the bottom of the barrel, and rushing these vaccines into mass use with extremely high expectations of efficacy is setting up the potential for a devastating loss of trust in the vaccines should they fail to live up to the claims of 100% safety and 95% effectiveness.

    We’re being assured by Pfizer and Moderna that their Covid vaccines are 95% effective and are safe enough to be injected into hundreds of millions of people. Before accepting these extremely consequential claims, let’s look at the actual testing process and results.

    In the Pfizer trial, half of the 44,000 volunteers received the vaccine and the other half got a placebo shot. Then the researchers waited around to see how many of the volunteers randomly came down with Covid. Pfizer reported that out of 170 cases of Covid, 162 were in the placebo group and eight were in the vaccine group.

    So a total of 0.386% of the 44,000 volunteers came down with Covid by means unknown, and this tiny sample is the foundation of grandiose claims of 95% effectiveness? Note the incredibly small sample size. If even 3% of the test group had contracted Covid, the sample size would be 1,320 people–still a small number but considerably more persuasive than 1/3rd of 1% (170).

    These results tell us very little about what we really need to know. Allow me to propose a test protocol that would tell us what we need to know.

    Take 100 politicians, authorities, and Big Pharma executives, give them two doses of vaccine and then have them serve 4-hour shifts in a crowded ward of severely ill Covid patients for a week, without any masks or protective gear. In other words, expose them to sustained, intimate contact with patients with severe cases of Covid, spending hours every day in a soup of virus.

    If 100 people took the measles vaccine, would they hesitate to expose themselves to measles patients? No, because the measles vaccine is close to 100% effective. If the politicians and Big Pharma executives refused to participate in this trial, that would tell us all we really need to know about the effectiveness of their Covid vaccine.

    But the trial isn’t finished–not by a long shot. We need to know if the vaccinated people can still transmit the virus to unvaccinated people. So at the end of their shift, the 100 politicians, authorities, and Big Pharma execs clean up and then crowd into a poorly ventilated bar with 100 unvaccinated volunteers, singing, dancing, and breathing the same fetid air for two hours every night.

    Next, repeat this trial protocol with another 100 people, 50 of whom have chronic conditions such as hypertension, metabolic disorders, or COPD, and 50 who are 65 years of age or older. The only way we’ll really know if the vaccine is effective for at-risk people is to do a rigorous test like this.

    Third, repeat the trial protocol with 100 people who have autoimmune disorders or family histories of autoimmune disorders. There is no other way to discover the potentially harmful consequences of the vaccine on those with a propensity for autoimmune disorders other than a rigorous test of the vaccine, i.e. sustained exposure to the virus over extended periods of time.

    Lastly, monitor all the volunteers daily for six months for any side effects of the vaccine. It will take years to really know what side effects may manifest, but six months would at least establish a baseline of safety.

    The results of these trials would tell us what we absolutely need to know before we blindly inject tens of millions of people with these vaccines:

    1. Will the vaccine offer rock-solid protection against sustained exposure to the virus?

    2. Can vaccinated people transmit the virus to unvaccinated people?

    3. Will the vaccine protect at-risk people without causing any adverse effects in the most vulnerable groups, including those with autoimmune disorders?

    Let’s also be aware of the limits of any vaccine, even one that’s 95% effective. No vaccine will stop the rapid advance of the virus in the next few months, nor will it stop America’s healthcare system from unraveling: U.S. Healthcare Is Unraveling (November 17, 2020).

    The virus won’t stop health care personnel from burning out and becoming too exhausted to go to work.

    Nor will it make all the post-Covid symptoms of those who came down with acute Covid go away. These conditions will demand extended care on an unprecedented scale.

    Let’s also ponder the potential effects on public trust should the vaccine fail to live up to its advertised effectiveness (95%), or some of those who get the vaccine come down with severe side-effects, or suffer the misfortune of dying from unknown causes.

    Trust in institutions, authorities and Big Pharma is scraping the bottom of the barrel, and rushing these vaccines into mass use with extremely high expectations of efficacy is setting up the potential for a devastating loss of trust in the vaccines should they fail to live up to the claims of 100% safety and 95% effectiveness.

    95% effectiveness sounds good, but 5% of 300 million Americans is still 15 million people. Toss in the potential for side-effects and there’s still a roulette wheel spinning that every individual will have to consider. Behaviors will not time-travel back to 2019, even with a 95% effective vaccine.

    A great many people will decline the vaccine until they see how the first wave of volunteers fare. Another consequential number will refuse the vaccine for anyone of numerous reasons. A third group will put it off because doubts remain: maybe a new vaccine will be even better.

    The vaccines are too little, too late: too little is known about their mass effectiveness and eventual side effects, and it’s too late to affect the current advance of the virus, the long-term consequences of those with post-Covid conditions or reverse time to the era before behaviors changed.

      1. They are completely full of shit. They are not even testing for the same virus everywhere in America, let alone in the world, and the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Tests have drastically overstated findings of what ever the fuck it is that they are claiming to be covid-19. They are all saying that it is something different. Researches were left to manufacture their own primers for the tests, which were segments of viruses, as viruses quickly mutate. The rt-PCR method was using 35-40 cycles, reverse transcribing RNA into DNA, but coronaviruses are RNA viruses, so transcribing This is junk science at its most pronounced by all historical accounts. Even the develper of the tests insisted that they were not for diagnostic purposes, who conveniently died a few years ago as far as Bill Gates is concerened! It is junk science gone mad producing quacks and charlatans. Since they know that this was all based on scientific fraud to lock everything down and force people to wear masks,
        their only way out is to claim that they can now let society do business as usual because they have the magic cure that will allow that to happen! They blamed covid-19 for their own economic fraud. They could sell us magic crystals to wear around our necks to protect us from covid. At least that wouldn’t be harmful, since the vaccines have mercury, monkey tissue, fetal tissue and the same squalene from sharks that caused Gulf War syndrome! They are unsafe! Do not take it! Even if they claimed that politicians took them, why in the hell would we believe them? How would we know if they did vaccinate them, and if they did that we would recieve the same thing?! This is targeted murder! They want to do it now to steal from people! Why?! Well, because the economy is based on fraud, and even if they vaccinate people, the economy will still be based on fraud, so they will have to keep killing people off to feed the market and The Blob! Kill the market! Kill the blob! I am not talking about the people. I am talking about the institutions!

      2. I have the cure for Covid, backed up by patient testimonials, backed up by a clinical trial that was just completed, used by a Doctor in West Virginia to save lives that were days from death, and the medical community cannot or will not listen.
        I have been trying to get the attention of the medical community since March of 2020. We have provided data, talked until we are blue and nothing. I am furious. The country is on the edge of disaster brought on by this virus and these idiots will not listen. A million humans have died for no reason and the forecast is for many more. This is disgusting on so many levels.

        I have to believe that there is somebody out there that is still honest enough to make this public. Is that you? Please invest ten minutes to help.
        This is the biggest lie in history and the story needs to be told.

      3. They are completely full of it!  They are not even testing for the same virus everywhere in America, let alone in the world, and the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Tests have drastically overstated findings of what ever it is that they are claiming to be covid-19. They are all saying that it is something different. Researches were left to manufacture their own primers for the tests, which were segments of viruses, as viruses quickly mutate. The rt-PCR method was using 35-40 cycles, reverse transcribing RNA into DNA, but coronaviruses are RNA viruses, so transcribing into DNA is irrelevant and is not a coronavirus! This is junk science at its most pronounced by all historical accounts. Even the develper of the tests insisted that they were not for diagnostic purposes, who conveniently died a few years ago as far as Bill Gates is concerened!  It is junk science gone mad producing quacks and charlatans.

      4. I have a 9.6 chance of not dying from the virus. That is better odds than anything the government or big pharma can offer.

      5. That should be 99.6 percent chance of not dying.

      6. The real cure has been censored and they have already started arresting Doctors who are using it. So much for freedom. So much for freedom of speech. Welcome to the nightmare.

      7. They all need to be knee capped..
        that’s a 100% cure for stupidity.

      8. Would you trust a vaccine after a virus has been created to exterminate humanity? Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
