I
wrote and posted this piece almost a year 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, before COVID vaccines were authorized for emergency use.
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, 2020, 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.
Every
“expert,” now, in August 2021, is instructed to say the vaccine is
definitely protecting people against severe illness and
hospitalization. This is their promotional message to the world.
“Yes,
even if you’re vaccinated, you could become infected with the virus,
you could develop COVID, and you could pass the virus to other people,
BUT you must take the shot. It will protect you from becoming severely
ill.”
As you can see from what I’ve written above, this is a straight-out lie.
It was always a fantastic lie, from the beginning of COVID vaccine development.
