Look Who’s Rushing Covid Vaccines Now: The FDA authorized the new ‘bivalent’ mRNA shots without any trials of their efficacy or analysis of their risk.
Wall Street Journal ^ | September 4, 2022 | Allysia Finley

Democrats and the public-health clerisy denounced President Trump for rushing Covid vaccines. They’ve been curiously quiet about the Food and Drug Administration’s gunshot approval last week of revamped booster shots with no trials showing they are safe or effective.

The FDA granted emergency-use authorization to mRNA shots by Pfizer and Moderna that are bivalent, targeting the initial Wuhan variant as well as the currently predominant BA.4 and BA.5 strains. The Biden administration ordered 171 million doses earlier this summer, so FDA authorization seems to have been a fait accompli. The FDA probably should have made the reconfigured vaccines available to high-risk and elderly patients. But the case is weak for young people, given the limited benefit and uncertain risks.

The FDA is in a tough spot. The original vaccines, which targeted the Wuhan variant, are much less effective against Omicron and even less so against subvariants that evolved in rapid fire—BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5. Vaccine makers spent this winter and spring testing vaccine configurations for Omicron and future variants. Some variants—including those that never became widespread in the U.S., such as Beta—share many of the same mutations. The trouble is nobody knows how the virus will evolve.

In late June, Pfizer and Moderna presented data to an FDA advisory committee on their experimental boosters, which targeted Omicron both alone and in combination with the Wuhan variant. The BA.4 and BA.5 variants had surged relatively recently, so the vaccine makers hadn’t had time to devise and test shots targeting them.

The FDA advisers found themselves in conflict, and so were the data. Pfizer’s data showed that its Omicron-specific booster generated a stronger antibody response to Omicron than its combination vaccine. Yet Moderna’s combo booster produced a more durable immune response—i.e., antibody levels stayed high longer.

They know the risks but are confident that the results can be effectively suppressed. Big tech and the corporate media will cover for them. We’re very close to criminalizing criticism; critics will be imprisoned.

The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

Same, actually, with power and control. It’s like a drug to the leftists.

It’s outright malfeasance.

They’re trying to normalize it like it’s just another flu shot so it’ll act like the other Covid shots so there’s no need to do new studies.

Beau likes to watch the, ‘Local Propaganda’ over dinner. I could HAPPILY ignore it! In his defense, he’s after Weather & Sports. ;)

Commercial after commercial still pimping The Clot Shot. And as an added bonus - you can all get DonkeyPOX shots, too!

For free!

*SPIT*

Enough with the faggotry. Seriously. Enough.

I’ve had the vaccine and the boosters. Yea, I’ve had them all a lot! Really. I swear.

No surprise, this.
It’s all about de-populating the planet so the elites can eat and drink forever.

The whole verse is pretty interesting in the context of the failed vaccines;

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

So here’s something “interesting” ....

“Updated” Covid-19 mRNA Injections Approved After Testing on 8 Mice and 0 Humans
https://worldcouncilforhealth.org/news/statements/bivalent-vaccines-approved/

“These regulatory agencies have neglected to inform the public that no human studies were done before the approval of the new “updated boosters” and that the clinical study referenced included only eight mice. This is both unprecedented and reckless.”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

From: https://tobyrogers.substack.com/p/thinking-points-september-4-2022

“8 mice
CDC budget: $10.6 billion.
FDA budget: $6.1 billion.
Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine revenue: $33 billion
Moderna Covid-19 vaccine revenue: $21 billion
Advance purchase order from the Biden administration for reformulated shots: $3.2 billion.
Total amount they were willing to spend on efficacy trials for the rejiggered booster? 8 f’ing mice.
You can buy these BALB mice on the open market. The most expensive one? $48.91.
So Pfizer spent a grand total of $391.28 to measure antibody response from these shots (+ whatever it cost for mouse food and the little water bottle with the metal ball stopper in it).
The mice were not autopsied so Pfizer spent $0 on safety. THAT’S how much they hate us.”

Then they tried to force them on all of us and were successful in forcing them on some of us, all in violation of the Nuremburg Code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Code

This is bordering on the absurd. Not only no human studies, animal studies of 8 mice! That’s it! They couldn’t spend a dime to throw in a couple of lab rats or perhaps a ferret or two in the study?
