We’re Not in a ‘Pandemic of the Unvaccinated,’ Peter Doshi Explains During COVID Panel
The Defender ^ | 11/5/21 | Jeremy Loffredo

Posted on 11/06/2021 1:27:50 AM PDT by Pontiac

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) Tuesday held a roundtable discussion on federal COVID vaccine mandates with a panel of people injured by COVID vaccines and scientists from some of the most prestigious research organizations in the world, including The BMJ and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Peter Doshi, a senior editor at The BMJ and associate professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, and Retsef Levi, a health system and analytics professor at MIT, expressed doubts about COVID vaccine efficacy and the failures of the scientific community.

“I’m saddened we’re super-saturated as a society right now in the attitude of ‘everybody knows,’ which has shut down intellectual curiosity and led to self-censorship,” said Doshi.

Doshi said we’re not in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” If hospitalizations and deaths are almost exclusively occuring in the unvaccinated “why would booster shots be necessary?” Doshi asked. “And why would the statistics be so different in the UK, where most COVID hospitalizations and deaths are among the fully vaccinated?”

“There’s a disconnect there, and something to be curious about,” Doshi said. “There’s something not adding up.”

Doshi argued the public was lied to in early 2021, when health officials including Dr. Anthony Fauci, claimed COVID vaccine trial data proved the vaccine saved lives.

After presenting the trial data for the vaccines authorized for use in the U.S., Doshi pointed out “there were similar numbers in the vaccine and placebo groups.” He argued those “who claimed the trial showed the vaccine was highly effective in saving lives were wrong” and that “the trials did not demonstrate this.”

Doshi talked about anti-vaxxers and criticized the official definition of the term. He presented the panel the official Merriam-Webster definition of anti-vaxxer: “A person who opposes the use of vaccines or regulations mandating vaccination.”

“The second part [of the definition] stunned me,” said Doshi.

“There are entire countries from the United Kingdom to Japan which do not mandate childhood vaccines,” he said. “There are no mandates, and I would wager that perhaps a majority of the world’s population meet this definition of an anti-vaxxer.”

Doshi told the panel that “vaccine” is another definition “worth checking on.”

“I argue these products which everyone calls MRNA vaccines are qualitatively different from standard vaccines,” Doshi said. “So I found it fascinating to learn that Merriam Webster changed the definition of vaccine early this year.”

“mRNA products did not meet the definition of vaccine that has been in place for over 15 years, but the definition was expanded such that mRNA products are now vaccines,” Doshi said.

He then argued that just because we’re calling the COVID shot a “vaccine” doesn’t mean “these new products are just like all other childhood vaccines which get mandated.”

“Each product is a different product, and if people are OK with mandating something simply because it’s a vaccine, I believe it’s time to inject some critical thinking into the conversation,” Doshi said.

He also criticized the fact that society is vaccinating and mandating the vaccine for large portions of the public despite the raw data on the safety and efficacy of the vaccines not being available yet.

“So while we are told to keep following the science, what we are following is not a scientific process based on open data, we are following a process where the data are secret, and in my view there is something very unscientific about that,” Doshi said.

Levi told the panel “scientists in the most prestigious journals assert that the vaccine is safe, failing to report on serious side effects such as deaths.”

He explained that national emergency services calls in Israel for cardiac arrest among young individuals under 40 years old saw a dramatic increase — more than 25% — in parallel to the COVD vaccination campaign.

“We wrote an academic paper raising concerns regarding these statistics and called on the authorities to check on this … needless to say they never got back to us.”

Levi claimed the government attempted to censor the research by calling its credibility into question. “They called the research fake,” Levi said.

Levi warned the panel:

“These vaccines have serious and unknown side effects, and we need to use them with caution.”

How can you trust the science when the keep changing the definitions of scientific terms like “Vaccine”?

How can this be science when those promoting the disease cannot point to a single sample organism? Anywhere. None of this stuff makes any scientific sense.

How can anyone take a vaxxxx when it not only does NOT work, it actually does NOT lower the number of deaths.

You should notice that a wave started in early 2021 when Israel started vaxxing

You should also notice the next wave of deaths started after the boosters were started the end of July

Just as concerning is the fact that there are obviously more deaths in vaxxed 2021 than there were in NOT vaxxed 2020.

What might be even more concerning now is that ERs from the US to Europe to Australia are being flooded. The presstitutes can't explain it but if anybody took statistics sometime in their past, they might start the investigation by asking:

What is common around the world being done to a lot of people that MIGHT produce medical problems that MIGHT flood ERs?

After a little thought, it might lead to the fact that millions are being vaxxed by an experimental injection that has NOT been tested long term. That of course would be a good place to start an investigation.

My grandson and I are the last two holdouts in my family. We’re also the only ones with science degrees.

Right? I saw a Lysol disinfectant spray commercial the other day that said “kills 99.9% of germs and viruses, including the one that causes Covid-19 “.

I’m like, how do you know that if they haven’t isolated the virus?

I’m not sure how this myth that the virus has not been “isolated” still persists. There are currently at least two vaccines that I know of (one Russian, one Chinese) that consist of whole inactivated virus. How would this be possible without having isolated the virus and created a process for in vitro growth of it?

Same here. My wife a retired pharmacist and me a biologist who worked with bio hazards and taught OSHA mandated first responder/hazardous worker classes are the last two standing among friends and family.

My niece, who is vaccinated, is now dealing with a mysterious case of dizziness and weakness. She doesn’t drive anymore. She also had a mild heart attack at age 42, just a few month after being vaxxed. How is that all related, who knows.

My niece, who is vaccinated, is now dealing with a mysterious case of dizziness and weakness. She doesn’t drive anymore. She also had a mild heart attack at age 42, just a few month after being vaxxed. How is that all related, who knows.

The spike proteins are on the blood vessel walls and make the heart have to work harder. The heart and other organs also have to deal with inflammation caused by the vaxxxx.

There is concern that the body's immune system will attack these cells causing horrific damage that can only lead to one outcome.

We may be seeing this play out already. Australia's dictatorial lockdown has brought FEW CASES OF COVID but they have a high vaxx rate. We are starting to see lots of serious jamming of ERs from USA to Europe to Australia.

Hospitals in Australia are being overrun- NOT FROM COVID- AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY

Actually it is very easy to explain why. The perfectly safe vaxxxes that were NOT long term tested before being released to the public are not very safe; in fact, the answer is becoming apparent that the vaxxes are killer death shots.

Expect the gubermints from US to Australia to double down on their killer death shots. Those who have declined need to stay strong. IF the crowding of hospitals becomes worse and we get more confirmation by the doctors looking into vax caused damage to the body, the media censors will not be able to keep this information from the public no matter how much Fraudci, the FDA/CDC etc. lie.

Another increase being seen by doctors is they are finding cancers in people that should NOT have them (for example age discrepancies). These cancers are appearing because the body's immune system is being changed such that cancer cells that would normally get zapped are free to grow. The cancers are aggressive and fast growing.

Thousands report developing abnormal tumors following COVID shots

You can call my post here near baseless speculation right now but the hospital crises is only going to get worse if any of this post is close to being right. I pray this is wrong but I am very fearful it is understated in the serious cases we will start to see, I'm going to loose many friends and family to this but they wouldn't listen. It's not vax or not vaxxxed, it is simple drug treatment and prevention using HCQ+Zn, IVM, quercetin, vit C, Vit D3 etc. The vaxxx should never have been used on anybody.

The evidence is overwhelming. I tell my girls that they have a far better chance of dying from the ‘vaccine’ than I have of dying from the ‘disease’.
