I just watched a commercial for Prevnar 20 (i.e., PNC20, for pneumococcol pneumonia), a Pfizer product being advertised online

I just watched a commercial for Prevnar 20 (i.e., PNC20, for pneumococcol pneumonia), which I believe failed to mention this product is made by Pfizer. It claimed people over 65 are 6x more likely to get pneumococcol pneumonia, but failed to note any other issues like co-morbidities which could contribute to this rate. Because there is sales pressure present, and by a company which cannot be trusted, I thought I would see what information might be available to a curious consumer.

Here's Pfizer's webpage, noting that Prevnar was FDA approved June 08, 2021.

U.S. FDA Approves PREVNAR 20™, Pfizer’s Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate Vaccine for Adults Ages 18 Years or Older

September 20, 2018, Pfizer announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for PREVNAR 20. Quote from Pfizer's Prevnar-20 page:
"Breakthrough Therapy Designation is designed to expedite the development and review of drugs and vaccines that are intended to treat or prevent serious conditions and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug or vaccine may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapy on a clinically significant endpoint(s).25"
 
This flew under the radar, I think, in June 2021 because Covid was in the limelight. The text suggests the FDA expedited developement and review based on 'preliminary evidence', just like the Covid vax.

According to wikipedia, the CDC updated the pneumococcal vaccine guidelines for adults 65 years of age or older in 2019.[49]

In October 2021, the CDC recommended that adults 65 years of age or older who have not previously received a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or whose previous vaccination history is unknown should receive a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (either PCV20 or PCV15).[50]

 
I mention this because in 2019 and 2021, the CDC was making other recommendations with which many have since taken issue.
 
The CDC/FDA Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting database recorded the first post PNC-20 (Prevnar 20) adverse events report in January of 2022 and it's most recent patient report for this vaccine is December of 2024. So the following data in VAERS is for 24 months of administration of the vax.
 
There are feeder databases like CMS (Medicare) which are supposed to collect reports of adverse reactions and dump them into VAERS. This system did not function for COvid 'vaccines' as there was whisleblower testimony reporting 40,000 post Covid vaccine reports of deaths 'sitting in CMS' and never uploaded to VAERS (Benz).
I checked medalerts.org to see what VAERS reports were collected after vaccination for the Prevnar20 vaccine for those 24 months. VAERS data is supposed to function as a safety signal - so that if many people happened to experience a particular symptom some time after vaccination, the CDC would investigate to make sure the vax was not related or causing the symptom (e.g, 38 people died post Prevnar vax, so you investigate why they died to make sure the vax is not harmful.)

But, the VAERS safety signals were ignored in the case of the Covid 'vaccines', so we have to self-advocate in matters of vaccine safety.

On the Drugs.com website, 22 people posted reviews for Prevnar 20 and together rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Here's a sample comment from that webpage which points to the need for self-advocacy for any and all drugs and vaccines:

The comments vary - one person reported zero side-effects and 10/10 satisfaction. Another reported intense pain and said they were unaware the product was made by Pfizer, which would have deterred them from accepting the vax. Another reported unpleasant symptoms, saying, "We need medical personnel to be very honest about the possible side effects. I'm not doing it again." 

Note there are other versions of pneumococcal pneumonia out there which you may encounter so you may want to investigate your options - all the PNC types are Pfizer's.

 

From the 12/27/2024 release of VAERS data:

There were 4,024 reports to VAERS where Vaccine is PNC20 and Vaccination Date on/after '2022-01-01. These 4,024 reports following PNC20 vaccination contained a total of 16,018 symptoms.

Websites like https://www.drugs.com/sfx/prevnar-20-side-effects.html list the 'more common' side effects. These are the fever, redness, headage, joing pain, swelling rash type responses as were seen for Covid 'vaccines.'

Below, I put together a list of some potentially more serious, and thankfully less common, symptoms reported by those who had a Prevnar 20 vaccine. Again, VAERS reports are not proof of a relationship between the vaccine and the symptom; they are a safety signal which is supposed to be thoroughly investigated for cause/effect.

Since the medical regime insists they handled Covid 'vaccination reporting' to VAERS correctly, I am a bit cautious about other VAERS reporting - who is minding the store? How many other databases may contain records not reported to VAERS? Due diligence may help you make decisions before you are offered products in medical settings (or Walgreens, etc.). At the very least, we should be provided with the name of the manufacturer, the 'age' of the vaccine on the market, and a full list of potential side effects.

I have no medical training and am just riding on the research I performed as a consumer during the Covid 'plandemic' hoping to encourage due diligence among consumers.

List of potentially more serious side-effects post Prevnar-20 vaccination:

Gait disturbance51
Influenza like illness47
Neck pain46
Chest pain45
Condition aggravated45
Death38
Seizure31
Rash macular30
Fall29
Loss of personal independence in daily activities29
Rash macular30
Guillain-Barre syndrome26

When ever you wish to find out about a drug you can look it up finding it on a material safety data sheet or MSDS. There may be a few on a single drug but by tracing them, you can find out what you want to know.

One MSDS is here:

https://www.medicomart.com/images/document/Prevnar%2020%20Safety%20Data%20Sheet.pdf

You’ll find that many of the drugs advertised will have problems to include some that display death reactions from different directions. One of the most overlooked problems comes on drugs like Ozempic being used by people for weight loss. If you pay attention to the commercials on TV the show in the fine print that Ozempic is not a weight loss drug. The only drug like it that is approved for weight loss is Wegovy. So the use of Ozempic can be dangerous according to the MSDS. But people continue to defend its use. Always check the MSDS when you have questions.

I see the report was prepared by Pfizer.

Several months ago, Pfizer had a tv commercial for RSV (?) stating proudly how trusted the company is. Nearly fell out my seat over that.

The current Prevnar is Prevnar 23.

For me, the risk of bacterial pneumonia is worse than the risk of a vaccine.

I'd rather joust with a vaccine which generally does a good job, than joust with pneumonia.

This is the crap that damn near killed my great grand daughter. It was administered by her pediatrician at 18 months. On the morning of the third day, I found her barely conscious and limp as a ragdoll then rushed her to the ER. That one scared the shiite out of me and I don’t scare easily. After a bit of investigation, I found the white paper of Prevnar-20 where it specifically states not for children under 2 years of age. Then I was pissed.

That is not the vaccine’s fault but the pediatrician

My uncle (in his 90’s) was vaxed at his Dr’s insistence. He immediately got covid after the vax, was hospitalized and two yrs later, got covid again. He was in the hospital for a few days, released and two days later, he is in the hospital with pneumonia. He is expected to be there for a week at least.

He is such a good man. I hope T kneecaps the pharm industry.

I don’t trust any vaccinations anymore let them keep their shit and pedal it to the people want to die

pedal peddle

~~~~~~~~

pedal (noun): a foot-actuating device; used in the operation of bicycles or sewing machines or automobile brake, gasoline, or clutch levers

peddle (verb): to sell products personally carried about for sale and hand-distribution, which are advertised locally by placard or voice of the seller(s); a term used diminutively to figuratively cast aspersions on a product and/or its seller

~~~~~~~~

(a FRiendly correction; my own definitions and understandings)

I totally agree with your proposition and have held to that opinion for ages. However, considering the long-term history of Pneumovax* (click here) and its statistics, and having had pneumonia as a high-schooler in the early 1950s, I have fairly confidently trusted it for my use in the recent past (not since the COVId-19 scare) for the purpose described above.

I have not had pneumonia AFIK in at least 50 years. I believe I would take a chance on it again if needed. I am 88, and various documented food substances (quercetin, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D3) have kept me free of any respiratory illnesses, better than ever before, since the presence of C-19 warnings were posted in early 2020.

Note that the Pneumovax is used prophylactically as a barrier to bacterial infection, not viral illnesses. Back in the day, if I had prolonged respiratory infection that I couldn't get rid of, a doctor's scrip for "Zithromax" (azithromycin antibiotic) cleared it up almost immediately.

But going back to *Pneumovax-23, the above reference says:

Background: 23-Valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, trade name Pneumovax(®)23 (PPSV23), has been used for decades in the Unites(sic) States and has an extensive clinical record. However, limited post-licensure safety assessment has been conducted.
The lack of multiplicity of VAERS incidence and deaths is very favorable. My history of personal experience with it says the same. It does not hinder all bacterial respiratory infections, only the pneumonia type ones.

Have an infection-free winter, my FRiend!

The current radio ad I’ve been hearing includes a disclaimer .... something like ‘full approval may be contingent on results of a “supportive” study’ that is in progress. I think that’s the essence of the statement.

I think all pharmaceutical ads should be removed from TV. They push drugs for everything and another drug for the side effects of drugs they push. They’re 90% of ads...except the Medicare supplemental insurance shxt.

And they keep lowering the recommended age to poison yourself with their toxins.

When I turned 60, a doctor tried to put me on statins for cholesterol - even though my cholesterol was perfect - he said it was a American Heart Association recommendation because being male and over 55, I was at higher risk....to me that meant that the Heart Association was in Big Pharma’s pockets.
I told him I needed a more compelling reason to put that poison in my system - and never went back to him....

“company which cannot be trusted,”

I’m in full agreement and read no further. These big pharma outfits that got rich off of killing people with their covid scam vaxes can go to hell. I will never trust any of their products again.

***I think all pharmaceutical ads should be removed from TV***

It is bribery. The pharm companies spend a lot of $ on broadcast ads (and printed ads) and the media gets addicted to that easy income. As we saw with CoViD, the media towed the official line faithfully.

My favorite ad currently is Izervay, which typically tells you nothing. It is a drug injected into the eye connected with macular degeneration. I told my son, an RN, that if he ever needed the med I would inject it into his eye.

So what is the purpose of that ad? It is a bribe to the media to go easy on negative drug news, IMO.

I have had colds in the winter. A few years back I had the flu, which I believe was the first time. It was a new ball game over a cold. Nothing since. I’m not going to bother with vaccines. Just a personal choice which I don’t encourage others to follow. Do as they please.

“When I turned 60, a doctor tried to put me on statins for cholesterol”

I’m 75 and Kaiser just sent me an email that said I needed to go on the statins or I could have a heart attack within 10 years. They really push the stuff. I’m not doing it after I read up on it.
