I haven't given it a listen yet.
The FDA itself is indefensible.
The utterly unconstitutional FDA whose existence has NO constitutional authorization has invalidly and illegally “authorized” untested and unsafe COVID political vaccinations.
It’s never about justification. It’s always about politics and control.
Why am I just hearing about Jesse Jackson and his family. I bet if Trump were in office, this would show how racist his vaccine is.
There are two different ways to interpret this, thanks to the ambiguities of language. The first is that those vaccinated early have an increased risk of severe disease relative to those not vaccinated. The second is that they have increased risk relative to the more recently vaccinated, because the early vaccinated have begun to lose the immune boost from the vaccine.
I believe Walensky intends the second meaning, although whether she is correct in that will be revealed by events.
So what we seem to know from other countries’ experiences is that the Pfizer vaccine wanes pretty quickly, dropping to apx 40% efficacy 10 weeks post vaccination. This was known before the EUAs, and one of the reasons why they made it a 2-shot regimen is because early data showed it waned quickly by the 5th week after the first dose (another reason may be because it was made intentionally weak given the poor history of mRNA vaccines - while many fear the long term consequences (which is reasonable, we just don’t know) I suggest everyone overlooked the short term ineffectiveness of these vaccines).
The other two vaccines seem to hold up better, but for how long? We don’t have much data. They don’t want to be very forthcoming about it. But it doesn’t take much to deduce it. They made it a 2-shot and they have talked about boosters the entire time, ergo they had to know these vaccines would fail to confer broad and lasting immunity.
Reverend Jackson and his wife were vaccinated in January. They are way past the “expiration date”. Assuming the vaccines are safe and effective with multiple doses, they should have had a 3rd jab months ago. But also factor in age and underlying conditions. It’s well known that vaccines in general are less effective in the elderly.
All the more reason to put shame on the FDA/CDC/NIH for putting their thumb on, and fighting against, research for re-purposing existing drugs for the purpose of fighting covid post infection. Vaccines are too late for anyone with an active infection; and apparently too weak for anyone who took it early or may be the unfortunate 40%-60% of elderly people for whom they were destined to be ineffective. And shame on them all for not being 100% straightforward about all of this.
Everything is corrupt everything our government gets its hand around is corrupt. This is to provide Cheating Beijing Joe a narrative to take the Afghan debacle off the front pages. I’m noticing not too many articles are coming out about Afghan travesty.
and the former head of the fda is on the pfizer board of directors
if he had held pfizer’s feet to the fire, which is his job, would he be sitting their board?
smells to high heaven
