This post by Patrick Hahn about The Day the Science Died reminds us that we have lived through some extraordinary times but seem inclined as perhaps people were after World War II to not dwell on things and just get on with life – for a decade or two until the memories came back. – see The Day The Science Died.
I’m not a medical doctor. I don’t even play one on TV. So why should anybody listen to me about these matters?
That’s a very good question, and here is my answer: because I have listened to people – good, kind, caring, creative people who took the drugs manufactured by Pfizer and similar corporations, in good faith, as prescribed – or whose loved ones took the drugs – and suffered devastating consequences, up to and including death. I have also listened to men who have served as expert witnesses in cases against Pfizer and similar corporations, and got to see the secret files these companies had hoped would never see the light of day.
I know what Pfizer is capable of.
That’s why it saddens me to find that Pfizer and the other drugmakers are emerging as the heroes of this pandemic, even though the vax was authorized for emergency use without even its manufacturers claiming their own data could show any reduction in mortality at all.
They did claim that the shot reduced cases, but that is not a clinically relevant endpoint, because for most people covid is no more than a cold. Moreover, this endpoint cannot be believed anyway, since they didn’t count all the cases. Those that emerged within twenty-eight days of the first dose of the Pfizer vax (or forty-two days after the first dose of the Moderna product) were not counted, although they never explained why these cases shouldn’t matter to the patient.
We also now know that the number of cases increases in at least the first few days after the shot is administered. Public Health England, the Danish Ministry of Health, the BMJ, and the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) all have stipulated this – but again, these extra cases are not counted toward the primary endpoint.
This stupid accounting trick was right there in plain sight all along, in the Pfizer and Moderna protocols – although nobody mentioned it at the time. How much of the claimed “efficacy” of these nostrums was a statistical illusion created by not counting all the cases? Without data, we don’t know.
Almost as soon as the vax was rolled out, reports began piling up of waning efficacy of these products. We would have known about this had Pfizer and the drugmakers given us the trials we were promised, but trials that were supposed to last for two full years and involve tens of thousands of participants were shut down after only a few percent made it to the six-month mark.
The waning efficacy of the covid “vaccines” prompted calls for repeated booster shots, despite the lack of data on the long-term safety and effectiveness of these shots. One study showed the efficacy of the Moderna product dropped to less than zero five months after the third dose. That study was funded by Moderna.
Another study carried out at the Cleveland Clinic showed the likelihood of re-infection increased with the number of booster shots. A “vaccine” that makes you more likely to get the index condition – that’s not really much to brag about, is it?
Faced with overwhelming evidence that the shot does not, in fact, provide long-lasting immunity, the CDC has been reduced to arguing that it prevents covid-related deaths and serious illnesses. Even if that be true, what they are describing are not “vaccines” at all, as the term has been understood to mean for well over a century. What they are describing are, at most, therapeutics, which must be administered in advance of the infection, with a limited window of efficacy and a terrible side effects profile. How can we even think about mandating the use of such products?
And once again these pronouncements cannot be believed. These figures plucked from the dashboards of public health agencies charged with enforcing vaccine mandates count deaths and serious adverse attributed to covid, rather than all deaths or all serious adverse events – as if people who die from the covid are deader than people who die of something else. Moreover, these pronouncements employ the same stupid accounting trick used in the trials – not counting all the cases – and even these numbers are not derived from randomized controlled trials, and so do not control for the healthy vaccinee effect. Remember the trials we were promised were shut down long before they had run their due course.
Speaking of side effects, even before the vax was rolled out eminently credentialed experts from prestigious institutions were warning us about the possible harms of inundating the body with the toxic spike protein. They were ignored, and data the CDC released last January (after months and months of stonewalling) showed safety signals for over seven hundred different categories of adverse events. Including myocarditis. And pericarditis. And stroke. And cancer. Not to mention death.
But the biggest signal of all was for the category known as “breakthrough infections.” There were over three hundred times as many of these than we would expect if these reports were distributed randomly amongst all vaccine products. So much for the vaunted “efficacy” of these nostrums.
A recent article in theAmerican Journal of Managed Care attributed the disturbing rise among young people of rapidly progressing cancers of several types. The article mentioned COVID-19 as a possible cause (along with rising rates of obesity and alcohol consumption, both of which increased in the wake of pandemic restrictions) but did not even consider the possibility that the shot could be causing this.
The same article quotes a distinguished expert as saying “Additionally, some persons experiencing post–COVID-19 conditions may not have tested positive for the virus or known they had it.” Apparently you don’t even need a documented history of covid infection for your ailments to be attributed to “Long Covid.”
The public at large seems either not to know or not to care about any of this, happy to accept the oft-repeated factoid that the shot “saved millions of lives,” and to receive annual booster shots for the rest of their time here on earth. They also seem not to know or care that the covid pandemic has served as a pretext for the most massive censorship campaign in United States history. Period. Full stop. Even during wartime we never saw this level of official censorship. So it might seem as if Pfizer and its minions have won.
A 7 July piece in the Telegraph featured an interview with Professor David Halperin, chief of the Behavioural Insights Team, a.k.a. the “Nudge Unit.” Now the fact that there is something known even informally as a “Nudge Unit” speaks volumes about the gutter into which our culture has descended – as if we were sheep to be nudged in this direction or that, as suits our rulers’ purposes, rather than intelligent self-governing men and women to be engaged with, using facts and data. But never mind that for now.
Professor Halpern averred that Brits now “know what the drill is” regarding masks and lockdowns: “You’ve got the beginning of what is called, particularly, a habit loop: if this has happened, then you should do that.”
He’s wrong.
None of us were prepared for the scale and scope of this assault on everything we need to live together as a community of intelligent self-governing men and women that preceded the vax rollout. But those of us who have never bought into the official version of events are reaching out to one another. Like the dissidents of the Soviet era, we are developing alternative means of obtaining and sharing information – our own underground literature. Twitter, Substack, Rumble, and GiveSendGo are happy to accept the business that Facebook, Medium, YouTube, and GoFundMe apparently didn’t want. We’ve peeked behind the curtain, and we are not going to let these things be done to us again.
They like to talk about “pandemic preparedness.” We’re prepared for the next one, I assure you.
Transparency, Smoke, Mirrors, Wizards
The eagerly awaited results of Pfizer’s double blind randomised controlled trial of SARS CoV-2 RNA Vaccine (BNT162b2) administered in pregnancy (NCT04754594) have yet to be published, over a year after the trial stopped (1)
(To date the only preclinical safety trial of BNT162b2 in pregnancy was performed in 44 Wistar rats, which have a gestation period of about 22 days.) (2)
By contrast, Dr Polack and Prof Thomas – the lead authors of Pfizer’s pivotal trial of the same vaccine in >40,000 non-pregnant people – were able to analyse the data and write and submit their paper which was published online, all within two months. (3)
At the start of the pregnancy trial Pfizer agreed to “provide access to individual de-identified participant data … upon request….” But a year into the trial, in February 2022, this arrangement was rescinded. Pfizer state they will no longer share the data. (1)
The Wizard? Note the bizarre doubling of participants in this trial in a change notified on 12 July 2023 for a trial that stopped recruiting in Nov ’21.

Why is the MHRA hiding critical safety data on the covid vaccines?
They are still withholding the crucial pregnancy outcomes data
NORMAN FENTON AND MARTIN NEIL
2 AUG 2023
https://wherearethenumbers.substack.com/p/why-is-the-mhra-hiding-critical-safety?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1229032&post_id=135567916&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email
We have reported before on the basic failings of the MHRA in their duty with respect to safety monitoring of the covid vaccines. Now, we can reveal a new scandal as a result of a Freedom of Information Request by the tenacious Cheryl Grainger about the 2000 pregnant women who were vaccinated in the first half of 2021 who the MHRA were supposed to have been monitoring.
While the report notes 82 million doses of the vaccine had been delivered by end of June 2021 (perhaps implying that the 303,203 individuals reporting ADRs was therefore not excessive) it fails to draw the obvious conclusions about under-reporting of the notoriously difficult to use Yellow Card scheme. Since 53% of those in the YCVM group reported ADRs there is no reason to believe that a significantly different proportion of individuals would have reported ADRs if they had been actively monitored. Assuming about 30 million people had been vaccinated by 30 June 2023 this means we might have expected 15 million to have had an ADR rather than the 303,203 who did report. That would be a reporting rate of about just 2%.
The main report and appendix provide inconsistent numbers about vaccinated pregnant women in the YCVM Group, but as the appendix provides greater details we use the data there. We note there that there were 1366 reports of maternal exposures during pregnancy up to 30th June 2021, including data from 187 recipients of the Oxford-AZ vaccine, 1003 recipients of the Pfizer-BioNTech and 95 recipients of the Moderna vaccine. Of these, 565 participants reported ADRs following vaccination up to 9th July 2021. Thus, 66% (n= 124) of recipients of the Oxford-AZ vaccine, 38% (n=383) of recipients of the Pfizer-BioNTech and 61% (n=58) of recipients of the Moderna vaccine reported ADRs and were included in the analysis. The fact that, when this report was completed most of the women were still pregnant (a total of only 8 live births among the 565 reporting ADRs had been recorded by 9 July 2021) makes the need to answer the questions asked by Cheryl Grainger so imperative.
PS: The MHRA have still not responded to my FOI about their bizarre approval process for the SKYCovian vaccine.
More stupid accounting tricks from our Covid Lords:
“There is a clear signal here of children considered to be at risk having a very high hospital covid admission rate, even when ignoring any admissions within two weeks after their vaccination. The admission rate in the first two weeks remains secret, of course. Given what we already know about covid risk in that period it is highly likely that the hidden data would reveal even more evidence of harm. Hiding this evidence is utterly unethical and unscientific and the BMJ should release data from this important period or else withdraw this paper entirely.”

Children offered £1,500 to take part in new Covid vaccine trial
By Dr Ros Jones
August 3, 2023
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/and-you-thought-covid-vaccines-for-children-were-over/
YOU may think that Covid-19 vaccines for healthy children have been withdrawn, but don’t worry, your child can get their next fix by enrolling in the NextCOVE trial, launched last month in Bradford, with several other centres across the UK due to start recruiting soon.
The information leaflet opens with this emotionally loaded paragraph: ‘The COVID-19 pandemic is like nothing we’ve seen in more than a century and it has altered each and every one of our lives. Now, you or your child could be a part of important research on an investigational COVID-19 vaccine. By enrolling in the NextCOVE Study, you or your child will be contributing to a potential solution to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the entire world.’
Further on it states: ‘By taking part in this trial, you or your child could make a difference for your family, your community and people everywhere.’
Any parents considering entering their children in this latest trial should cast their minds back to the AstraZeneca children’s trial. Oxford University started recruiting children in February 2021, despite the death the previous month of 32-year-old Stephen Wright, wrongly attributed to a coincidental stroke. Correspondence then with the lead investigator was hardly reassuring. Less than a month later, deaths were being reported across Europe. The children’s trial was quietly suspended. The same research group and Research Ethics Committee were called out by the Children’s Covid Vaccines Advisory Council on a booster trial in children a year ago.

GSK sues Pfizer in US for patent infringement over RSV vaccine
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/other/gsk-sues-pfizer-in-us-for-patent-infringement-over-rsv-vaccine/
(Reuters) -British biopharmaceutical giant GSK sued Pfizer in a U.S. court on Wednesday, alleging that Pfizer’s respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine Abrysvo violates GSK’s patent rights in its rival RSV shot Arexvy.
In the lawsuit brought in federal court in Delaware, GSK said New York-based Pfizer’s vaccine infringes four of its patents related to the antigen its shots use to fight the respiratory disease.
Pfizer said in a statement that it is “confident in its intellectual property position” and will “strongly defend” its right to bring Abrysvo to patients.
Both vaccines were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in May for use in adults over age 60. They are the first vaccines approved to prevent RSV, which causes around 14,000 deaths in adults 65 and older in the United States annually, according to government estimates.
Pfizer and GSK are running a tight race to tap into the RSV vaccine market, which could exceed $10 billion by 2030, according to analysts. The vaccines are part of both companies’ strategies to replace aging drugs that will face cheaper generic competition.
A GSK spokesperson said in a statement that intellectual property protections are the “foundation of research-based companies’ ability to drive innovation,” and that the lawsuit should not affect GSK’s ability to launch Arexvy.
GSK said in the lawsuit that Pfizer began working on its RSV program as early as 2013, at least seven years after GSK. The lawsuit said Pfizer knew of GSK’s patented technology since at least 2019, when it began challenging the validity of European versions of the patents.

We had a solid second quarter at @Pfizer . Our financial results were in line with our expectations, and we are now more than halfway to our goal of launching 19 new products or indications in an 18-month span across a variety of therapeutic areas.
Most importantly, more than 356 million patients around the world were treated with our medicines and vaccines in the first six months of 2023. During the pandemic, Pfizer demonstrated the power of our research and manufacturing capabilities by bringing to the world the first and most widely used COVID-19 vaccine and COVID-19 oral treatment. The profits these products have generated to date have helped enable us to acquire several innovative companies that we believe have enhanced our ability to deliver solutions for immuno-inflammatory diseases, RSV, migraine, and sickle cell disease. We also are continuing our integration planning for our pending acquisition of Seagen, so that we’ll be ready to hit the ground running to accelerate delivery of cancer therapies after the deal closes. And we continue to build trust with our patients and stakeholders, with recent accolades from @usnews @Newsweek and more.

Chickens coming home to roost? Pfizer exec admits Covid-19 vaccine wasn’t even tested to see if it would prevent transmission
https://www.biznews.com/health/2022/10/13/pfizer-vaccine-transmission
Member of the European Parliament, Rob Roos, asked during a session:
“Was the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market? Did we know about stopping immunisation before it entered the market?”
Pfizer’s Janine Small, president of international developed markets, said in response:
“No … You know, we had to … really move at the speed of science to know what is taking place in the market.”
Roos, of the Netherlands, argued in a Twitter video Monday that following Small’s comments to him, millions of people around the world were duped by pharmaceutical companies and governments.
“Millions of people worldwide felt forced to get vaccinated because of the myth that ‘you do it for others,’” Roos said. “Now, this turned out to be a cheap lie” and “should be exposed,” he added.

FDA chief admits to “cheerleading” Pfizer’s antiviral drug Paxlovid

I think this is a very unusual situation,” said Califf.
“almost everyone who was dying or getting severely ill was not up to date on vaccination
leading some to criticise him for being “a billboard for Pfizer.”
But it’s been hard to ignore when high profile figures such as former CDC director Rochelle Walensky, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Tony Fauci, and President Joe Biden have all experienced a Paxlovid rebound.
Update from reader: “Paxlovid showed no significant reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality on day 28 and the duration of SARS–CoV-2 RNA clearance in hospitalized adult COVID-19 patients with severe comorbidities.” (published in THE LANCET Regional Health Apr 2023)

Pfizer loses $88BILLION in market share as Americans move on from COVID and sales of virus drugs and vaccines plummet
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12378249/Pfizer-loses-144-BILLION-Americans-COVID-sales-virus-drugs-vaccines-plummet.html
Meanwhile, it said its Covid-19 antiviral medication Paxlovid is expected to generate around $8billion in sales this year, down 58 percent from last year.
Pfizer said last week it should have a better idea of future demand for its pandemic products by the end of the year, by which time it will have launched its latest Covid-19 shot.
Should sales fall short of expectations, the company is ready to change tack.
CEO Albert Bourla has said Pfizer is ‘moving post-Covid’.

My Le 8:32
@myletrinh123
Background: With 27 years of experience as a GP, I have never had a complaint made against me. I co-own the practice for 10 years before selling it on, but I have continued to work in the practice. In total, I have worked there for 22 years.
Additionally, I have devoted over 12 years to volunteering in impoverished areas of Cambodia, offering medical care to those in need.
Two complaints were made against me on the same day, within hours of each other through the same AHPRA portal system.
In NSW, it’s uncommon to have complaints from via AHPRA portal.
THE JOHN SMITH COMPLAINT
The complaint, filed under the name “John Smith,” has an email address that bounced back, a landline number that was disconnected, and no address. Furthermore, neither the Medical Council nor the HCCC were willing to confirm whether John Smith is a real person or not.
The following were the allegations:
“This physician is promoting and writing prescriptions for ivermectin for community groups online for inappropriate clinical use of ivermectin and doxycycline and azithromycin. We called the medical center to confirm and they confirmed the doctor is anti-vaccine and promotes other alternative unaccepted methods of treating/preventing covid. We have attached a friend’s prescription for ivermectin, said friend does not suffer from worms, its principal use as prescribed by the doctor is for preventing covid. We know of at least 3 cases where the doctor has done that and we have evidence of such.Due to patient confidentiality, we reserve the right to omit patient details. cases where the doctor has done that and we have evidence of such. Due to patient confidentiality, we reserve the right to omit patient details.”
The complaint came with a redacted IVM script, fortunately, the Medicare number was accidentally left unredacted. Upon closer examination, I discovered that the script belonged to a family member for whom I had prescribed the medication. It turned out that I had taken the script to the chemist, but due to the unavailability of supplies, I had to leave it there with the assurance that it would be ready the following week. However, shortly after, the TGA banned ivermectin.
Upon received the complaint, I promptly visited the chemist to inquire about the script. The chemist informed me that AHPRA had requested all ivermectin scripts to be handed over, and an AHPRA agent had indeed collected the script.
Despite challenging the validity of this complaint, the HCCC disregarded all of my concerns. The HCCC then obtained the medical records of the 4 patients that were prescribed ivermectin that “ John smith” miraculous knew about.
Patient files were obtained through the medical centre without consent. Additionally, they also accessed my husband’s medical records without any justification.
After the files were reviewed by their expert witness, they demanded that I respond to all of their accusations. Subsequently, they concluded that I was practicing significantly below the standard and “practicing below, below standard.”
In their concluding letter, they stated that they would refer me to director of proceedings and that if the “complainant” was not satisfied, then they had to refer me to the Tribunal for prosecution. When I questioned why the word complainant was singular, as I had two complainants,they quietly removed the file number of the “John Smith” from the letter of referral to the tribunal. However, they still listed the four patients that had arisen from the John Smith investigation, although my husband’s name was removed.
Questions:
1. AHPRA, are you John Smith?
2. Is it lawful for the HCCC or medical council to knowingly investigate a falsified complaint?
3. Is the HCCC obligated to refer John Smith complaint and AHPRA to ICAC for an investigation?
4. Did the HCCC knowingly use a falsified complaint to justify an investigation of an innocent doctor in order to prosecute her all because a political agenda ?

Argentina officials accused of taking bribes from Pfizer to secure COVID-19 contract. Fernando Polack to testify. Stay tuned for new developments.
Fernández initiated against Patricia Bullrich
It was a testimonial statement that the civil judge was going to take at the request of the presidential candidate for Together for Change.
By Sergio Farella
Patricia Bullrich’s statement was postponed in the civil trial where she was denounced by the President of the Nation, Alberto Fernández, for accusing him of asking for bribes from the Pfizer laboratory to allow the entry of its vaccines against the coronavirus.
The opposition leader was presented by a test that she herself requested from Civil Court 21, where the demand made by the President for 100 million pesos fell after the mediation instances convened by the Justice failed.
Court 21 was going to take testimony from infectologist Fernando Polack, who was supposedly aware of the negotiations that the Argentine State made for the purchase of the vaccine in question. But his statement was postponed at his request when Bullrich arrived at the courthouse.
The lawsuit was initiated by the president’s lawyer, Gregorio Dalbón, and is for damages, after the failure of the mediation instances where Bullrich did not retract the statements he made in journalistic statements.
