I
wrote and posted this piece eight months ago, while the clinical trials
of the COVID vaccine were in progress. It reveals how and why those
trials were doomed to fail. They did fail. Since then, nothing has
changed.
The
vaccine makers DESIGNED a series of clinical trials that, even on their
own terms (“the virus is real, fear the virus”) were destined to be a
complete flop.
Here is the piece I wrote in September 2020---followed by a new explosive epilogue which brings us up to date on the scandal.
PART ONE
Peter
Doshi, associate editor of the medical journal BMJ, and Eric Topol,
Scripps Research professor of molecular medicine, have written a
devastating NY Times opinion piece about the ongoing COVID vaccine
clinical trials.
They expose the fatal flaw in the large Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Moderna trials.
September 22, the Times: “These Coronavirus Trials Don’t Answer the One Question We Need to Know”:
“If
you were to approve a coronavirus vaccine, would you approve one that
you only knew protected people only from the most mild form of Covid-19,
or one that would prevent its serious complications?”
“The answer is obvious. You would want to protect against the worst cases.”
“But
that’s not how the companies testing three of the leading coronavirus
vaccine candidates, Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca, whose U.S. trial is
on hold, are approaching the problem.”
“According
to the protocols for their studies, which they released late last week,
a vaccine could meet the companies’ benchmark for success if it lowered
the risk of mild Covid-19, but was never shown to reduce moderate or
severe forms of the disease, or the risk of hospitalization, admissions
to the intensive care unit or death.”
“To
say a vaccine works should mean that most people no longer run the risk
of getting seriously sick. That’s not what these trials will
determine.”
This means these clinical trials are dead in the water.
They
are only designed to show effectiveness in preventing “mild cases of
COVID,” which nobody should care about, because mild cases (cough,
fever) naturally run their course and cause no harm. THERE IS NO NEED
FOR A VACCINE THAT PREVENTS MILD CASES.
The leading vaccine clinical trials are useless, irrelevant, misleading, and deceptive.
Now let’s go deeper. Read the next section from the Times piece, and then I’ll make comments.
“The
Moderna and AstraZeneca studies will involve about 30,000 participants
each; Pfizer’s will have 44,000. Half the participants will receive two
doses of vaccines separated by three or four weeks, and the other half
will receive saltwater placebo shots. The final determination of
efficacy will occur after 150 to 160 participants develop Covid-19…”
Here’s
how it works. The vaccine companies are looking for a total of 150 mild
COVID cases to occur, combined, in the two groups--- those receiving
the placebo and those receiving the vaccine. How would that happen? The
researchers believe “the coronavirus is spreading everywhere” and it
will pounce on some of the volunteers in the clinical trial.
Let’s
say that, during the trial, 100 people receiving the placebo develop
mild COVID-19, and only 50 people receiving the vaccine develop mild
COVID.
The
vaccine companies would say, “We just proved the vaccine is 50%
effective in preventing COVID, and that’s all we need to do, in order to
win emergency authorization from the FDA. Release the vaccine. Inject
the world.”
The outcomes for 150 people equal “let’s shoot up seven billion people.” That’s staggering.
But
it gets even worse. The magic number of 150 COVID cases? How is a COVID
case defined? The authors of the Times piece have the answer:
“In
the Moderna and Pfizer trials, even a mild case of Covid-19 — for
instance, a cough plus a positive lab test — would qualify and muddy the
results. AstraZeneca is slightly more stringent but would still count
mild symptoms like a cough plus fever as a case.”
But
wait. The NY Times itself recently published an article stating that up
to 90% of US COVID cases could very well be false positives---in other
words, not cases at all. Why? Because the diagnostic PCR test, as it is
performed by many labs, is too sensitive. It registers “positive for
COVID” when it shouldn’t.
So,
in these vaccine clinical trials, the whole process of determining that
“150 people developed COVID-19” is completely unreliable, useless,
absurd, and nonsensical. On the one hand, a positive PCR test is
unreliable and means nothing. On the other hand, a cough and fever
(“mild COVID”) are nothing to worry about, and don’t require a vaccine
at all. We’re talking about 150 cases of “who cares.” That’s what the
COVID vaccine is designed to prevent.
“So the magic number is 150? That’s the number that will decide the immediate fate of the planet?”
“Of course.”
“And
these 150 people, who you say develop mild COVID-19…no one should care,
because those symptoms cure themselves, and no vaccine is needed.”
“Correct.”
“And
come to think of it, the people receiving the vaccine in the clinical
trials could develop symptoms indistinguishable from mild COVID-19, as a
result of the effects of the vaccine.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But you’re very confident in the success of the vaccine.”
“Indeed.”
“Why?”
“I
have to be confident. If we’re exposed as incompetent frauds, our
bottom line will take a huge hit. And we’ll wind up in prison.”
“Thank
you, sir. And that’s tonight’s news. Make sure you take the vaccine,
everyone. It’s vital. This is Fred J Clown, for
CBS-NBC-ABC-CNN-FOX-PBS-AP-Reuters and all official news sources East,
West, North, and South. The News, brought to you by Venom-X-2, a
medicine that has only 463 adverse effects. Ask your doctor if Venom is
right for you.”
PART TWO: THE DEVIOUS TRICK
Now I’m going to go over the vital information again, but this time I’m going to show you how…
The vaccine companies can use the fatal flaw in their protocol design to…
Actually win approval of their COVID vaccine.
Stick with me. This is big.
Only 150 people are needed to make the major clinical trials of a COVID vaccine look like a success.
Out
of 30,000 volunteers in a trial, researchers are waiting for 150 people
to “come down with COVID-19.” MILD cases. They assume this will happen
because they believe the coronavirus is everywhere, and it’ll infect
their volunteers.
Of
course, their definition of a mild case of COVID-19 is
meaningless. Cough plus fever, and a positive PCR test. The test spits
out false positives like a rigged slot machine, and the visible mild
symptoms could result from flu, polluted air, or too many candy bars.
Nevertheless,
the researchers are waiting for a total of 150 people to “catch a mild
case of COVID.” When that number is reached, everything stops.
Now
comes the big moment. How many of those 150 COVID cases occurred in the
group that received the vaccine, and how many in the group that
received the placebo shot of salt water?
Let’s
say only 50 COVID cases occurred in the vaccine group, and 100 in the
placebo group. The researchers pop champagne corks. They say, “Look, the
vaccine is 50% effective at preventing COVID, and that’s all we need to
win emergency authorization from the FDA.”
BUT
suppose 70 cases occurred in the vaccine group and 80 in the placebo
group? No good. No good at all. No way to call the vaccine effective.
Now comes the “reshaping of the data.”
HERE WE GO.
The
researchers say, “Wait. Thirty of the COVID cases in the vaccine group
were REALLY just adverse reactions to the vaccine. They weren’t cases of
COVID. You see, the vaccine can cause symptoms that are
indistinguishable from mild COVID. Cough, fever, chills. ACTUALLY, there
were only 40 cases of COVID in the vaccine group. Half as many as in
the placebo group. The vaccine IS 50% effective. We’re good. We’re
golden. We can get emergency authorization from the FDA right now to
shoot up everybody.”
Vaccine manufacturers HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG that they could pull this trick.
Why leave things to chance?
Why
risk a few hundred billion dollars of profit on a random distribution
of mild COVID cases among the volunteers in their clinical trials?
The
definition of a mild COVID case is EXACTLY what the vaccine
manufacturers needed. It enabled them to hatch a plan, to make sure they
didn’t fail.
They
could pawn off a MILD case of COVID as a reaction to the vaccine. They
could fake that without causing ripples. The FDA would say, “The vaccine
reactions aren’t serious. All right, no problem. We’ll approve this
vaccine for emergency use.”
However…If
the manufacturers designed their clinical trial protocol to prevent
serious cases of COVID, they would be waiting to see 150 cases of really
sick people to occur. That might never happen.
If
it did happen, and the manufacturers had to pull their devious
switcheroo trick and blame the vaccine for some of these SERIOUS cases…
They
would have to tell the FDA that their vaccine was causing
life-threatening pneumonia; and the FDA, under a lot of scrutiny these
days, would find it very difficult to overlook that.
FDA: “We can’t approve this vaccine. It could cause a few million cases of dire pneumonia…”
The
vaccine companies didn’t make a titanic stupid mistake in their
protocol design. In gearing the protocol to prevent MILD COVID cases,
they did what they did on purpose. It allows them to “reshape their
data” and win FDA emergency approval for their vaccine.
These
companies have no intention of failing, starting over, and spending a
year recruiting 30,000 new volunteers. They want success and money
now. They want to win the race.
And they will win, if the truth isn’t known and shared widely.
EPILOGUE
The punchline.
I’m writing this part on May 16, 2021, eight months after the piece you’ve just read.
At
this point in time, the CDC obviously wants to show “the vaccine is
working very well.” And by “show,” I mean the CDC, carrying on its fine
tradition of lying, will rig new guidelines.
And
this is exactly what they’ve done. They’ve found an easy statistical
way to make it seem as if very few people are “coming down with
COVID-19” after getting vaccinated. (They call these few people
“breakthrough cases.”)
How do they achieve this con? Answer: By changing the way vaccinated people who then fall ill are tested.
And
THAT means they need these people to test negative on the PCR
test. “Yes, Mr. Jones is ill, and he was vaccinated three weeks ago, but
you see he isn’t now ill with COVID. We know that, because we did a PCR
test on him and it came up negative.”
How is this negative test outcome engineered? By changing the sensitivity of the test. By making it less sensitive.
This involves REDUCING the number of “cycles” in the test. (Each cycle is a quantum leap of increased sensitivity.)
In
many prior articles---even using direct quotes from Tony Fauci---I’ve
demonstrated that running the PCR test at 35 cycles or higher results in
a meaningless outcome. Meaningless, but strewn with false-positives. In
other words, HUGE numbers of people are told they’re infected---and are
“COVID cases.”
FDA/CDC guidelines from the beginning of the “pandemic” recommended running the PCR test at up to 40 cycles.
Obviously, this was a rigged method for falsely jacking up the COVID case numbers. And it worked. Sensationally.
Which was the plan. Every false pandemic needs this strategy.
But
NOW, after the vaccination has been introduced, the planners want to
show that people who take the vaccine aren’t “coming down with COVID.”
So
now the CDC declares that the PCR test should be run using FEWER
cycles, when testing those vaccinated people who then “get sick with
COVID symptoms.”
This will automatically reduce the number of these “breakthrough cases” of COVID.
And here it is. The CDC reference document is, “COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough case investigation; Information for public health, clinical, and reference laboratories.”
The money quote is direct and unmistakable:
“Clinical specimens for sequencing should have an RT-PCR Ct value [less than or equal to] 28.”
Translation:
When you have vaccinated people who then get sick with COVID symptoms,
run the PCR test on them at less than or equal to 28 cycles.
Not 40 cycles, as in the “old days.” 28 cycles.
Poof. Magic.
Fewer
“breakthrough cases.” Fewer vaccinated people appear to then come down
with COVID. The vaccine looks like a roaring success.
Even
so, the CDC is facing a major problem. The PCR test, no matter how it’s
run, is intrinsically so unreliable, so prone to errors, so liable to
spit out false-positives, these “breakthrough cases” are popping up. And
famous people---like eight New York Yankees---are among them. So the
press is covering the issue.
But
the CDC is valiant. Their liars are veterans. They’re weathering the
storm. They’d say, with a straight face, that a tomato is the moon if
they had to.
And they do have to. Their only alternative is embarrassment, prison, and a people’s revolution.
