From Wall Street to Washington, from Downing Street to Timbuktu, the word is that once some 70 to 85 percent of the world is jabbed with the COVID vaccine, the herd will be immunized and happy days will be here again.
How warped is the vaccine that was rushed out in “Operation Warp Speed”?
Only time will tell.
The new COVID-19 vaccines in circulation use a process called messenger RNA, referred to as “mRNA” vaccines. While the CDC claims these new types of vaccines are safe, a very different assessment has been made by the Penn Medicine Center for Evidence-based Practice, which is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania.
Here is a comparison.
On the CDC’s site, under the heading “Understanding and Explaining mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines”:
- “Like all vaccines, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines have been rigorously tested for safety before being authorized for use in the United States.
- mRNA technology is new, but not unknown. They have been studied for more than a decade
- mRNA vaccines do not contain a live virus and do not carry a risk of causing disease in the vaccinated person.
- mRNA from the vaccine never enters the nucleus of the cell and does not affect or interact with a person’s DNA.”
A very different assessment is made by the Center for Evidence-based Practice at the University of Pennsylvania. In its December 2020 review, “Adverse Effects of Messenger RNA Vaccines,” is this summary:
- “There are no specific guidelines for use of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines or contraindications to mRNA vaccines.
- No large trials of any mRNA vaccine have been completed yet.
- The only evidence on the safety of mRNA vaccines comes from small phase I and phase II trials of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, with follow-up typically less than two months.
- Systemic adverse events such as fatigue, muscle aches, headache, and chills are common.
- Severe systemic adverse events were reported by 5 to 10 percent of trial subjects.
- Localized adverse events such as pain at the injection site are common.
- Both systemic and local adverse events usually are resolved within one or two days.
- The rate and severity of adverse events appear to be higher for the second dose of vaccine than for the first.
- Higher vaccine doses appear to increase the rate and severity of adverse events.
- Larger trials of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are in progress, with results expected in mid-2021
- There is not sufficient evidence to support any conclusions on the comparative safety of different mRNA vaccines.
- Direct evidence on the comparative safety of mRNA vaccines and other vaccines is lacking.”
Note the last two bullet points: “There is not sufficient evidence” and no “direct evidence” to show these vaccines are safe.
This medical review also states:
“We found no guidelines regarding patient groups for whom mRNA vaccines should be avoided or other guidelines specific to mRNA vaccines… General guidance on COVID-19 vaccination has been issued by Public Health England… It is of low quality… and based on limited evidence. Because no clinical trials involving children have been reported yet, and children have less risk of serious illness or death from COVID-19, vaccination of children is not recommended.”
While the media and politicians keep pumping the COVID Jab, and nations such as the U.K. are even proposing that the unvaccinated will be barred from bars and restaurants, once again, both the efficacy of the vaccination and its possible dangers are ignored.
The study went on to note,
“Because of the urgent nature of the topic and the absence of high-level evidence, we proceeded to review and analyze results from primary studies of mRNA vaccines… All of the mRNA vaccine safety data published to date is from early-phase clinical trials. Some of the data comes from non-peer-reviewed and unpublished manuscripts, as noted in the table. This data should be used with caution. The studies are all small: they lack sufficient power to detect and assess the probability of uncommon adverse events, so the absence of such events in these trials should not be taken as evidence these events may not happen when mRNA vaccines are used more widely. Phase III trials that may yield more information on these events are in progress… but their results should not be expected until mid-2021.”
TRENDPOST: Despite scientifically-backed analysis, such as the points raised above by the Penn Medicine Center for Evidence-based Practice about the lack of safety data surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines, the pressure continues to mount from government officials and their health “experts” that the only way to get back to “normal” is for Americans to get the shots.
At a 2 February event produced by the Washington Post called “Coronavirus Leadership During Crisis,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, now chief medical advisor to President Biden, stated, “If you have a degree of vaccine hesitancy, then you have another problem because if you’re striving to get 85% of the people vaccinated, and you only get 50% of them vaccinated, then all of a sudden the timetable goes out the window.”
And, yes, as we monitor, analyze, and forecast the current events forming future trends, “you have another problem” if you only listen to so-called “experts,” ignore hard data and are incapable of thinking for yourself.
