VACCINE VOLUNTEERS OR GUINEA PIGS?

Go back to last week. Pick up newspapers from the U.S. to the U.K. and you’ll see the same photo: a young, masked woman with blue-black hair, glasses, and tattooed arms getting vaccinated.

This was the headline last Tuesday in the Wall Street Journal: “Vaccine Volunteers Given First Doses.”

With most citizens around the world obeying their political leaders’ strategy to follow orders until a successful vaccine appears, news came out last Tuesday that two drug companies are looking to sign up 30,000 volunteers for what they call “Phase 3 trials.”

Moderna plans to conduct the injections at various sites across America, financed with $472 million from the U.S. government.

Pfizer will inject volunteers in the U.S. and overseas at over 100 sites. Washington has agreed to commit almost $2 billion to buy up 100 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine and then offer it free to U.S. patients.

As being reported by the media, while there is yet no clear evidence either of these vaccines will be successful, countries are maneuvering behind the scenes to line up dosages just in case. Even if one or both of the vaccines prove successful, it will take until the end of the year before they would readily be available to the public at large.

TRENDPOST: All the stories run by the media referred to those getting trial vaccinations as “volunteers.” (Definition: “a person who freely offers to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task.”) 

But, are they volunteers… or paid guinea pigs? 

Not one of the major stories last week mentioned whether or not the “volunteers” are being paid to get vaccinated.

According to the National Institute of Health website:

“Will I be paid for my participation? Yes, volunteers are compensated for travel expenses and time lost from work. These payments are not likely to fully cover your real costs, however. Payments are made after each visit. Most studies offer about $200 for vaccination visits and $175 for most other visits, but compensation varies by study.” 

Regarding Moderna Therapeutics vaccine “volunteers,” in an interview conducted by MIT Technology review, a 29-year-old man was asked, “How much are you being paid to be a volunteer?” He replied, “I think it’s $100 per visit, so about $1,000 if you do all of them.” 

TREND FORECAST: Name the country, it makes no difference. Should governments force citizens to be COVID vaccinated, it will become a major platform for an anti-establishment protest party… which propagandist Presstitutes will label as conspiracy theorists, right-wing, conservative and/or populist parties.
