A paper published on April 5th in the New England Journal of Medicine entitled “Protection by a Fourth Dose of BNT162b2 against Omicron in Israel” is raising eyebrows in the scientific world because of its deficiencies.
Dr. Vinay Prasad is an American hematologist–oncologist and health researcher. He is an associate professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco. His work has coined the term medical reversal whereby more careful trials of a drug show that its earlier approval was flawed.
Dr Prasad, who is not an anti vaxxer by any stretch of the imagination, has aired his concerns about the latest Israeli paper on Omicron and boosters in a YouTube video.
In essence, Dr. Prasad is concerned that there is a potential for inherent bias as the group of subjects in the Israeli study who took the fourth booster was self-selected rather than randomly assigned. In other words, he was asserting that any assessment of vaccine efficacy published in a leading journal like the NEJM should use the gold standard of scientific proof, rather than inferior methods known to allow confounding effects to creep in.
Dr. Prasad pointed to the current $100 billion of annual Pfizer revenue and asked: Why isn’t Pfizer conducting randomised controlled trials to assess the efficacy and safety of boosters rather than applying political pressure to bypass scientific concerns? He said this was debasing scientific standards.
Dr. Prasad also pointed out that the actual data underpinning the results of the Israeli study were inconsistent with the known trajectory of immunity development and therefore with the study’s conclusions that the booster was helping.
So precisely how could self-selection in the Israeli study invalidate results? Dr. Prasad suggested one possible mechanism: those volunteering for fourth boosters might be more healthy individuals.
We ask: How could this happen? There are a number of ways.
For example, let us take seriously the commonly voiced proposal that the Covid-19 spike protein is essentially a toxin. A toxin capable of causing the heart and organ inflammation, neurological effects, and the potentially damaging immune system storm associated with both Covid infection and vaccination.
As with any toxin, some individuals will have greater and others lesser reactions to the toxin depending on a whole range of individual physiological circumstances. As the series of inoculations proceeds from first to fourth jab, those individuals having a greater adverse reaction to the shots will be weeded out by self-selection. Those experiencing more unpleasant reactions to the spike protein toxin will naturally decide to forgo further injections as the vaccination series unfolds.
Since both the Covid virus and the vaccine expose the physiology to the spike protein which accounts for a significant part of the Covid aetiology and symptomatology, those more tolerant of the toxic effects of the spike protein will have lesser symptoms following Covid infection.
The net effect of this on the results of the Israeli study is clear, those volunteering to receive the fourth booster will appear to be gaining benefit from the booster because they have self-selected for greater tolerance. As a result there will be a tendency to see a slightly lower rate of hospitalisation and death subsequent to receiving the booster, precisely the result of the Israeli study. As the efficacy of the booster on the viral component of Covid wanes this effect will dissipate.
Dr. Prasad’s point is clear, the only way to sort out what is actually happening is to conduct a randomised controlled study where subjects are assigned to vaccination and the matched control group receives a placebo. Pfizer has the money to do this. So why aren’t they? Possibly because a randomised controlled trial may uncover some potentially serious issues for Pfizer.
Without a carefully designed randomised controlled study, results are subject to the vagaries and inconsistencies of national data collection policies:
- Is Covid data collection mandatory, (in most countries including NZ it is not)?
- How carefully are records kept?
- How are Covid hospitalisations defined (for example are pregnant mothers in hospital to give birth who coincidentally test positive for Covid recorded as a Covid patient)?
- How are Covid deaths recorded, how long after a positive test and whether they had other health conditions?
Let’s look at the New Zealand current deaths data which illustrates these points:
Proportion of covid deaths by vax status (dark colours)
with Proportion of total population in each vax status (light shades)
Shows all deaths ASSOCIATED with covid: ie from any cause within 28 days of a + test.
(Unfortunately, the MoH does not release the vax status of CONFIRMED covid deaths)
If you read this graph at face value you must conclude as follows:
During the last month boosted individuals have become more vulnerable to death from Covid that they were at the start. Both the vaccinated (excluding the boosted) and unvaccinated groups have become less vulnerable to death through Covid. The increasing vulnerability of the boosted group over time is consistent with the Israeli study. One possible interpretation of the figures is as follows:
The level of natural immunity (due to prior infection) is rising among the unvaccinated as a greater percentage of this group catch and recover from Covid, whereas the more mRNA injections you have had appear to inhibit the acquisition of natural immunity.
PING
The Left will say.. Well that is England.. What is it here?
Where?
When made-up BS was firehosed out to the public as "science."
It was done to "get Trump" by wrecking the robust economy he created and it was extended for profits to select pharma companies.
That is exactly where and why.
.
There wasn’t any science to begin with.
It wasn’t science.
It was MURDER.
Mandated to death.
Coronaviruses are known in animals. In some they mutate too fast for vaccines to be effective. The CDC/WHO made a gamble that coronavirus mRNA vaccines in humans would be effective without normal testing. They came up short, to say the least.
(That’s giving the CDC/WHO benefit of doubt, which they may not deserve.)
Was this guy’s thinking approved by our Lord masters? Perhaps his thoughts could be grounds for imprisonment. Isn’t this about where we are?
But This Can’t Be HAPPENING
unless,,,
Well, You know “The Thing”.
It was never about the ‘$cience’ it was ALL about the genocide and depopulation.
Dr. Prasad says that the so-called vaccinations (they are actually clot shots) are effective at preventing Covid infection for 60 days. And the effectiveness wanes rather rapidly. Or something similar to that.
He seems to be blind (or resistant) to the dangers faced in the time period until 2 weeks after the second dose.
BTW - since he is a Haeme-Onc doctor I expect he will be very busy in the coming months and years.
I studied the genome. Downloaded it to my laptop. It has an error correction gene which protects against such mutations. It looked like from the outset that it would continue to be a killer like SARS 1 was, but on the other hand the jabs would be effective.
Now we know better (I hope!) What I didn’t imagine was how quickly and easily the copy protection gene itself would get a disabling mutation.
The real kicker is that the mRNA spike protein is itself a toxin! Never imagined that. (I’m no expert mind you.)
Go Wrong? Nothing has gone wrong. This is working out JUST AS THE LEFTURD, OWG crowd has planned.
The whole of the scamdemic was contrived to allow the modern day Mengele folks to roll-out unproven mRNA ‘vaccines’ in the largest medical ‘test’ ever undertaken.
For them, a welcome side effect is more people dying...a cull, if you will.
The real tragedy, I fear, will be playing out in the coming years as we watch a tremendous increase in autoimmune diseases, mysterious blood clotting issues, organ failures, and assorted other genetically engineered medical crises among the vaxxed guinea pigs of the world.
Yep. Just staying safe with no jabs; co-worker got the jab and couldn’t walk for a month. Her legs were all rubbery. She still has a hard time every so often.
Fraudci will come back and say that if your co-worker would just get the boosters, she would be fine and would be able to do the Iron Man competition with world record times.
Fraudci will get Brandon to mandate that the military all get the boosters based on the science. Many of the liberals will still line up to get more clot shots. They really are this stupid, in fact, many are dumber than that.
The liberals see that the US population will decrease with the majority being vaxxxxxxed but the illegals being let in are NOT VAXXXXXXXED which will soon restore the DimWIT's voting majority. And the average American was wondering WHY Brandon was letting in unvaxxxxxxxed illegals.
And yeah, why were we hounded and harassed over masks and shots but illegals invading our country didn't have to.
As can be seen from the graph, the vaxxxxxxed are more likely to die than the NOT vaxxxxxxxxed. By letting in unvaxxxxxxxed illegals, the DimWIT Party is guaranteeing that even if MAGA sweeps the country in the short term, after the vaxxxxxxed die in record numbers, the illegals will bring back the DimWITS
The life insurance companies know with good precision how many people will die in each age group. One thing being seen across the world is that excess mortality numbers are up.
I've heard 10% increase is THREE STANDARD DEVIATIONS (like once in 200 year possibility). BUT 40% to 80% is NEVER expected to happen. That means something is killing a lot of people that has never been seen before.
That something is VAXXXXXINES!
What are the numbers for the USA?
