Last Thursday, the website of Medscape.com contained an interview conducted last fall with Dr. Paul Alan Offit, Professor of Vaccinology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and former chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases (1992–2014).
Some of the key points he made included:
- “It’s all happening at warp speed, and at some level, that’s disconcerting. A lot of the language that surrounds this—’warp speed,’ ‘finalist,’ ‘race for a vaccine’—scares people that either timelines are being inappropriately truncated or, worse, that safety guidelines are being ignored.”
- “I wish there was a little more humility from some of these [vaccine] companies. They’re always sort of pounding their chests as to how they’re going to have this vaccine. I think, just in the past day, the CEO of Pfizer said, ‘I think we can have a vaccine by the end of October.’ I’m sorry; are you on the Data Safety Monitoring Board?”
- “For people who are considering these issues, I think what worries them the most is a vaccine-induced immunopathology. In other words, look at the measles and RSV vaccines of the 1960s. Those were two inactivated vaccines which, when given to people, actually put them in a worse position.”
- “You’re only going to know about rare adverse events once these vaccines are out there because even in a best-case scenario, they are tested on 20,000 or 30,000 people, not 20 million or 30 million people. So, you’re only going to know about a rare adverse event post-licensure.”
- “You worry that you could induce a massive cytokine response, which is what happened to Jesse Gelsinger, who unfortunately died. But you always wonder when you’re giving that many viral particles whether you could trigger that sort of response.”
- “I think these products [vaccines] cannot be recommended for someone who is greater than or equal to 65 unless there are clear safety and efficacy data in that age group… If we don’t have adequate data in the greater-than-65-year-old group, then the greater-than-65-year-old person shouldn’t get this vaccine, which would be a shame because they’re the ones who are most likely to die from this infection.”
- “Children are not going to be in the initial trials; everybody in these initial trials is greater than 18 years old. So, I’m certain that these vaccines are going to start to roll out before we’ve ever tested them in children. Then the question becomes, how do you test them in children when you have products which have been approved and shown to work?”
TRENDPOST: The interviewer, editor in chief of Medscape, Dr. Eric J. Topol, is quoted as saying, “The issue is that people in these trials are not very representative of Americans; they’re largely a White population. Underrepresented minorities are not well represented, nor are the aged or children.” This reveals one of the major flaws of the safety trials. In addition to the vaccines being rushed out after only a few months of trials, the volunteers who participated in the safety trials were primarily white and under the age of 65. As the AARP reported on 28 September, “Older Adults, Minorities Underrepresented in COVID-19 Vaccine Trials.”
TRENDPOST: As we have been reporting, the hard numbers prove the vast majority of COVID victims are elderly. That fact is mostly ignored by the media and politicians who promote mass lockdowns.
However, when an elderly person dies from the vaccine, the Presstitutes and the bureaucratic flunkies immediately note it… thus writing off the death as though it was time to check out of life regardless of the shot in the arm.
Yesterday, for example, this was the headline and leading paragraph from the New York Post following the death of a man who was vaccinated in Manhattan:
Elderly man collapses, dies shortly after getting COVID-19 vaccine at Javits Center
“An elderly man collapsed and died in Manhattan on Sunday morning shortly after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination at the Javits Center, a health official said.
The man, in his 70s, fell as he was leaving the building about 25 minutes after his vaccination, according to a statement from New York state health commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker.”
There you have it. Because the person was “elderly” and died after he got a COVID shot in the arm, it was no big deal. But, as the data proves, while the vast majority of COVID victims are elderly, or, as with Canada, some 80 percent of virus victims from nursing homes, those facts are ignored by the media and politicians who champion the locking down of entire nations.
The hypocrisy is there for all to see, but the masses, regardless of their education and professions, are blinded by what imbeciles, morons, and cowards call “the news.”
TRENDPOST: NBC and other media sources reported last Friday that a Virginia minister died the same day she got vaccinated. She waited the mandatory 15 minutes after getting the shot, left, then returned later with severe reactions. She was rushed to the hospital where she died.
Despite the woman dying after getting the vaccine, NBC stated on its website that there was “no indication the vaccine was at fault.”
As LifeSite News reported on 1 February, “At least 271 people have died after being vaccinated for COVID-19 as of January 22, according to U.S. government data released on Friday. The deaths were reported to VAERS, the vaccine injury tracking system for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).”
