NIH quashed study because it wouldn't show what they wanted.

Back in March 2021, when the vaccines were still fairly new and there was much research to be done on what they could accomplish, Dr. Fauci announced a study intended to find out how effective the vaccines actually were at preventing infection and retransmission of the COVID virus.

The study was called PreventCOVIDU–the U referring to the study cohort who would be students at colleges and universities.

It sounded pretty good, all in all. After all, the data on how well the vaccines would prevent the spread of the virus didn’t exist. Even the vaccine makers made no real claims that they would prevent the spread of the disease, although plenty of public health officials and politicians were making wildly unsubstantiated and inaccurate claims that the vaccine would stop the virus dead in the water.

That, in fact, was the underlying basis for forcing the vaccines on people: failing to take the jab put others at risk. A pretty weak argument, given the assertions at the time that the vaccine would prevent infections. The vaccinated needed protection from the unvaccinated? How weird is that?

Still, doing actual research on the question would be a step in the right direction, so the idea of doing the study made a lot of sense.

[...]

Actual science. Something other than wild speculation passed off as scientific conclusions.

I was reminded of this by a doctor on Twitter who remembered the announcement of the study and wondered what the results were. After all, the trial was supposed to last 5 months, and the results should have been available long ago, given how pressing the question was.

So she looked for the results, and found only this on the website for the study:

Uh, what? Did they end the study without actually getting or releasing any results? Why?

Yes, they did, and their answer to why is hardly convincing. The question wasn’t whether they could get people vaccinated, but whether the vaccines gave the promised results. Ending the study because of “the success of the COVID-19 vaccination program in the US” makes precisely zero sense.

We actually needed to know the answer to the question that was being studied: do the vaccines work to prevent the spread of the disease?

Obviously, they stopped the study because the answer was a resounding NO! And they didn’t like that answer. The best way to not get that answer definitively was to end the study before it could prove it.

This is Fauci’s baby. He announced it from the White House podium. He obviously thought the answer would be yes and that it would bolster his power. When it turned out that the answer was no, he buried it.

This is what “science” in the current era looks like. It is nothing more than fishing for the answers you have decided you want, not interrogating reality to discover what actually is.

“Science”, only experiment if you are sure it will not falsify your theory.

“Elections”, vote then count until you get the result you want.

Remember when science was actually science... Before they started politicizing it and making it into a cash cow to enrich themselves?

Sadly, most science organizations have been infiltrated by left wing zealots with a political agenda, rather than a scientific agenda.

This article doesn’t provide enough info to look it up.

Which is no doubt quite typical.

Anyone who thinks peer review is un biased is a fool.

The investigators were

Study Chair:Kathryn Stephenson, Harvard University School of Medicine
Study Chair:Audrey Pettifor, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina
Study Chair:Jasmine Marcelin, University of Nebraska

It was funded by NIAID.

We have the right to see their data.

Have this PJ guy contact the people I cite above.

The writer decided that the study had to have been scrapped because he couldn’t locate a report using the name PREVENTCOVIDU. That’s his sole reason for assuming that his conclusion is correct.

PREVENTCOVIDU was the name of the marketing program for recruiting college age volunteers. There’s no reason that papers based on the resulting data would carry over the name of the recruiting program.

The names of NIH papers are dry and tell you what subject that the paper is reporting on, not the marketing name of a data accumulation program.

[Pelham]

I see one paper featuring Audrey Pettifor with the eye glazing title:

“SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence: Demographic and Behavioral Factors Associated With Seropositivity Among College Students in a University Setting”

This is what the titles of NIH papers look like. They aren’t clever marketing names like PREVENTCOVIDU that the Hot Air writer expected to find.

Peer review in a world where they all vote RAT. Seems legit /s

Here is an article from one of them.

It’s on J&J Adenovirus, not the mRNA one.

How many students have been injured or died because this study was pulled and the mandatory "vaccine" program continued?

Fauci and his highly paid government conspirators knew. The "vaccine" companies knew. The researchers knew. The mandatory shots continued even to today.

Aren't we getting into manslaughter/murder territory yet?

Aren't we getting into manslaughter/murder territory yet?

Been there for a while now. But the "legal system" will be of no use providing justice. The "legal system," after all, is a part of the governmental system, and it's the governmental system that has been mostly responsible for perpetrating the harm.

If people want justice in this matter I'm afraid they will have to resort to "self-help."
