Every day we hear health authorities claiming that the current crop of novel platform COVID vaccines are “safe and effective.” Last week we presented you with evidence that points to the increasing failure of the global mass vaccination program — at least in relation to its purported aim of stopping transmission and building herd immunity with a view to helping societies to exit the pandemic.
In the light of this evidence, there is no scientific support for the “effective” claim which should be deemed scientific (or medical) misinformation. This week, we look closer at the other side of the coin, the claim widely made by authorities that these novel vaccines are “safe.”
You’ll recall that regulatory agencies around the world, following suit behind the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory products Authority (MHRA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), issued ‘emergency use authorizations’ (EUAs) early on to BioNtech/Pfizer, Oxford/AstraZeneca, Moderna — and slightly later — to Janssen/Johnson & Johnson (J&J).
These were, by definition, experimental products being used on the public in a claimed “emergency” situation, one that the UK had already deemed was not the result of a “high consequence infectious disease.”
The data underpinning these decisions on both benefits and harms were very limited, derived from just two or three months’ worth of data. Efficacy data generally claiming in excess of 90% vaccine effectiveness was initially published in press releases by vaccine manufacturers.
Subsequently, safety and efficacy data for all three “vaccines” given EUAs in the U.S. were published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: here for Pfizer, here for Moderna and here for J&J.
The stratospheric numbers reflecting efficacy — Pfizer and Moderna’s level pegging at 95% and J&J’s at 94.1%, like none that had ever been seen before for a vaccine — were enthusiastically delivered by the media to a public that had been conditioned to be fearful of the new coronavirus.
In countries that had control of the supply of experimental products, carefully crafted advertising generated very high levels of uptake for these experimental gene therapy products that were widely perceived as the surest way out of the surreal existence so many had endured for close to a year.
However, as we showed last week, these figures would not be sustained for long in the real world, outside the clinical conditions of trials, especially not in the face of immune escape and functional mutations (new variants).
J. Bart Classen M.D., an immunologist and vaccine adverse events researcher who previously worked at the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute for Allergy and infectious Diseases, headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, has long been concerned about lack of transparency around vaccine data.
He argued in the BMJ as early as 1999, that the public should be “fully informed that vaccines … may have long term adverse effects,” that “proper safety studies were needed” and greater transparency might result in the “development of safer vaccine technology.”
Classen has recently turned his attention to the New England Journal of Medicine datasets of Pfizer, Moderna and J&J COVID “vaccines,” supported by some additional data issued by relevant FDA advisory committees.
I don’t bemoan Classen’s choice of journal to publish his results. The vast majority of high impact factor journals have done a great disservice to science by refusing to carry articles that are in any way critical of the novel “vaccines’.”
Classen’s analysis, accepted for publication in late August, can be found in the recently launched Trends in Internal Medicine, a minor journal that has yet to be listed in the U.S. National Library of Medicine catalog.
Classen — doing what he was trained to do while in service to Fauci’s department — did what any halfway decent researcher would initially do at the start of an investigation: compare severe adverse events in those who were injected with the ‘real thing’ from each of the 3 manufacturers as against those injected with saline placebos.
No further digging was required to spot a problem. The top line findings are summarized in Table 1 below.
The results show highly significant differences in reported severe events between treatment-injected and control- (placebo) injected groups. Severe events were categorized as either Grade 3 or Grade 4 events according to guidance by the FDA, where Grade 3 are described as sufficiently severe as to prevent daily activity and that require medical intervention, with Grade 4 described as potentially life threatening, requiring an emergency room visit or hospitalization.
The difference was most pronounced, though no more statistically significant, for the Moderna jabs, with over four times (423%) more people being affected by severe events in the treatment rather than the placebo group.
In short: data from all three “vaccines” should have sounded a sky high safety signal, one concealed in the pages of none other than the New England Journal of Medicine. These data that were in the possession of all regulators who dispensed EUAs should, at the very least, have caused regulators from forcing the vaccine makers from calling their vaccines “safe.”
Health authorities, the medical profession, the media or any other party promoting the unqualified safety of the vaccines should have received the same message which is otherwise misleading, a distortion of science and in many instances technically illegal.
Instead, because the authors of all three papers discounted the seriousness of the adverse events in their conclusions, the signals were roundly ignored by health authorities, the media and the majority of the scientific and medical community
So where do we go to keep track of the unfolding picture of adverse events? The primary portals for such data are the official, government-controlled adverse event reporting systems, of which there are many (Table 2).
All data can be entered by the public or by health professionals, but not all of it is accessible to the public. It is well recognized, including by the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) that under-reporting is the norm for all such passive reporting systems.
Reporting for serious adverse events is likely to be higher than for less serious ones that might be as low as 1%. Health authorities also have the ability to scrub results after they’re reported if they don’t agree that the event is related to the vaccine exposure.

There has yet to be a vaccine that has targeted the entire adult population of the U.S. so we should expect something of an uptick in voluntary reports made to VAERS post introduction of novel COVID “vaccines.” Figure 1 shows reported death by vaccines from 1990 to the present, revealing the nature of the uptick. It’s big, if not sensational.
The VAERS database, that includes data that have been reported but not necessarily verified as being caused by the vaccine in question, includes up to Oct. 1, 778,683 reports in total, including 16,310 deaths, 75,605 hospitalizations and 87,814 urgent care visits.
Putting the current death figure into some, albeit dark, perspective, the number of people reportedly deceased as a result of COVID “vaccines” in the U.S. amounts to five and a half times more than those who died on Sept. 11, 2011 in the World Trade Center collapse in New York, 259 times the number who died on Pan Am flight 101 as a result of the Lockerbie bombing (in 1988) and some 2,330 times more than those who died in the Space Challenger disaster of 1986.
It also equates to around 4 times more deaths per 100,000 population (including both vaccinated and unvaccinated) than those killed on U.S. roads. Yet governments, the mainstream medical establishment and the media remain mute on such risks, still characterizing these vaccines as “safe.”
Myocarditis and pericarditis reports in VAERS are now approaching 9,000. These and other deaths through to October 1, are revealed by the OpenVAERS summaries (Fig. 2). If you look at the risk in terms of a denominator that includes all vaccinated persons, nearly 402 million doses delivered, the risk can look small (about 2 cases for each 10,000 doses of vaccines administered).
But that’s not how the risk pattern stacks up. As shown below (Fig. 3A), the risk of such events is disproportionately much greater for younger people and is greatest in the age group 10-15 years.
As Drs. Peter McCullough and Jessica Rose state in their paper just published in the journal Current Problems in Cardiology, “Within 8 weeks of the public offering of COVID-19 products to the 12-15-year-old age group, we found 19 times the expected number of myocarditis cases in the vaccination volunteers over background myocarditis rates for this age group.”
The VAERS reports show the 12-32 year age group as the biggest affected age group, with an even larger slice of unknown age (that we presume were also young) (Fig 3D), these youngest groups deriving very little or no benefit from injections. Yet they face an appreciable risk (see Fig. 3A), especially from the second dose assuming this is administered (Fig. 3B), a risk that is entirely new for 2021 (Fig. 3C), especially from the Pfizer jab (Fig. 3B).
A breakdown of AERs by age groups is shown in Table 3. While the numbers appear to be distributed fairly evenly across different age groups, as so many fewer younger people have been vaccinated, the adverse events are disproportionately higher for younger groups.
UK data reported via the Yellow Card system shows the Moderna ‘vaccine’ to have yielded the highest adverse event report compared with the other two – two for every 100 doses administered.
Total reported deaths are currently sitting at 1,663 which equates to around 2.5 per 100,000 population (both vaccinated and unvaccinated) which is on par with the number killed in the UK in road fatalities. Unlike cars that are widely regarded as inherently dangerous, these novel ‘vaccines’ continue to be regarded as “safe.”
There is much more that could be said, but in the name of keeping this word count manageable, we propose you look elsewhere for more detail. The Swiss Policy Research report of COVID vaccine adverse events describes an array of other reactions that have been reported, including untimely menstrual bleeding, miscarriages, birth defects, blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, severe skin reactions, Bell’s palsy, eye disorders and more.
Having skimmed the surface of the reported data, it is clear that this new clutch of COVID vaccines are at least as risky as driving around in motor vehicles. If we assume 10% or 1% of cases are under-reported, they will then be 10 times or 100 times more dangerous than driving a car.
It would seem, then, that vaccines, especially the new-generation mRNA-based ones, are unavoidably unsafe, despite this not being recognized by health authorities or even the courts.
There is a commonly held view, especially among vaccine-concerned non-lawyers in the U.S., that the Supreme Court ruled that vaccines were “unavoidably unsafe” in the Bruesewitz v Wyeth case (2010). However, according to Rick Jaffe Esq, this is a misinterpretation of the ruling.
Professor David Spiegelhalter and his team from the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication, an internationally recognized authority on risk communication, shows just how clearly the risk of COVID is minimal for the young and increases with age.
Spiegelhalter and colleagues were asked by the UK government in April to help communicate the blood clot risk linked to the AstraZeneca jabs to the public. What his team came up with back then is summarized on this page, with one of the key figures shown below (Fig. 4)
This has to be a dramatic understatement of the current situation, but even back in April, harms outweighed benefits for anyone aged under 49 as you can see from Spiegelhalter’s graphic (Fig. 4).
In early September, even the UK government’s own advisory group on vaccines, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization, determined there was insufficient evidence to justify the COVID injection of 12- to 15-year-olds.
Despite the available science, the mass vaccination program rolls on relentlessly, seemingly to fulfill the goal, expressed many months earlier by Bill Gates and others, to vaccinate almost everyone on the planet.
In the UK, as in so many countries, young people continue to be pushed hard and coerced into receiving COVID “vaccines” or face discrimination, penalties or restrictions. This is no longer a matter of science.
Those of us who have been critical of government and health authority communications around COVID “vaccine” safety have been widely targeted as misinformation sources.
Many of our social media channels have been de-platformed for making claims that are supported by robust science — us included in the case of YouTube. But as always, especially given the complexity and uncertainty of the science, the situation is so much more nuanced than it might appear if you’ve only been listening or reading mainstream media.
I’ll leave you with four overriding concerns we have that are rooted in misinformation from those responsible for the primary narrative:
Israel provides us with an early signal of what may happen elsewhere, in a best case scenario, because it was the first country to be intensively inoculated with the experimental jabs.
It is then very relevant to discover just how fast cases are rising, leading to hospitalizations and further (nosocomial) transmission, especially among those who are fully vaccinated.
Shawn Kuhn, a fully vaccinated senior at the University of Georgia who was majoring in exercise and sports science, died Oct. 11, more than six weeks after developing COVID symptoms.

Only a few countries are being cautious with respect to safety concerns. Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway have all suspended the use of the Moderna COVID vaccine due to concerns over the incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis in young men.
We must work together to reinstate the right to medical informed consent, ensuring that those to whom these novel ‘vaccines’ are being offered, have access to all the relevant information on both safety and benefit that is available at a given time. We are a million miles from that point at present.
We are working with our affiliates at the World Council for Health and the UK Medical Freedom Alliance to raise awareness on these important issues.
Oh, wow! How can I donate to that organization?

If the author is talking about VAERS data this is an absolute, unequivocal, bald faced lie.
If he's talking about misinformation "reports" from internet randos and anti-vax FReepers he might be right.
IATVPTs!
A very well thought out and laid out - yet brief - writing that explains the REAL SCIENCE dangers of these EXPERIMENTAL shots, the faulty “trials” they underwent and the underreported adverse events/deaths caused by these hazardous shots.
A great article to share.
The vultures must circle, continuously, to be the first ones in, to attempt to smear these informative articles/threads.
Official 9/11 deaths are approximately 3,000.
3,000x5½=6,500
Are you calling official government numbers lies?
HOW DARE YOU!!!
Or is it a honest mistake because your calculator just need new batteries?
BOLD faced lie. Lying has nothing to do with facial hair or lack thereof. It’s an act of putting on a bold face while telling a lie.
These are not vaccines as those take 10 years on average to produce, and real ones don’t require distancing, masks or boosters plus you can’t get what the vaccine was for either. We all know that from our childhood vaccines. Democrats lie constantly in their quest for power and control. They thought they stacked the deck but parents are rising up and they aren’t going away quietly. I watched a video of one parent in Virginia calling out the school board for being the actual terrorists, and you can check it out in crawler link top of page at Whatfinger News. Dimis Christophy is awesome and also called the Loudon County school board p3d0ph1l3s and he isn’t wrong. The left is always guilty of whatever they accuse us of. It’s the Alinsky way. The existential threat America faces today is DemocRATs.
The only thing people are getting from these shots is ‘fetal tissued’ and ‘spike proteined’ (at 42 TRILLION per dose). Plus some have been tested and shown to be saline. WE are the lab rats. Okay, some of you are. I’m not taking the mystery shot because I know I’m not lucky enough to get the saline.
MSM are in here already? Or did a democRAT sneak in?
😂
Actually, both are used although bald-faced (barefaced) is the original term. Naturally, as a conservative I favor the traditional :)
But the CDC is absolutely clear in saying those deaths aren't "as a result of" the vaccines as the lying author claims.
In fact, the database includes every death reported following a vaccine shot, including accidents and suicides,
Are you actually saying you don't know this?
Prompt adverse events, like dropping dead, in that time period are, by their definition, not vaccine related.
Are you actually saying you don't know this?
Nonsense. Who tells you this stuff?
Are you actually saying you don't know this?
I don't know it and neither do you. Because it isn't so.
Do you honestly think anaphalactic shock, or any reaction, only gets recorded if it occurs more than 2 weeks following the 2nd shot?
