    'the statement that a vaccine is "safe and effective" is devoid of meaning' Archived Message

    Jeremy Hammond:

    Both our health and our freedom are greatly imperiled by the government responses to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

    As I have frequently stressed in my writings on this topic, the explicitly stated endgame of extreme lockdown measures is mass vaccination, with advocates of this hypothetical solution calling for lawmakers to make vaccination compulsory.

    No doubt, if a vaccine gets licensed by the FDA, we'll be told that it's been proven "safe and effective".

    But here's how you can respond to that claim when you are confronted with it: absent randomized placebo-controlled trials comparing long-term health outcomes, including mortality, between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, the statement that a vaccine is "safe and effective" is devoid of meaning.

    That's one of the lessons of the diphtheria, tetanus, and whole-cell pertussis (DTP) vaccine, which studies have found to be associated with an increased rate of childhood mortality.

    The corrupt World Health Organization (WHO) rejects that evidence of this detrimental "non-specific effect" of the DTP vaccine on the grounds that it comes from observational studies, yet at the same time, it accepts findings from observational studies of beneficial non-specific effects of the measles vaccine.

    Specifically, studies have found the measles vaccine to be associated with a reduction in childhood mortality that cannot be explained by the prevention of acute measles deaths alone.

    One hypothesis for this that you may have seen the mainstream media touting as though proven fact is the idea of measles "immune amnesia". Infection, we are told, wipes out immunity to other pathogens so that children who survive measles infection are more vulnerable to other diseases.

    There are at least two major problems with that hypothesis, however.

    The first is that its a conclusion that does not follow from the finding that the measles virus depletes antibodies and the B-cells that produce them. This is because antibodies are neither always sufficient nor even necessary for immunity.

    In fact, measles is the perfect example of that since children with a disorder impairing their ability to produce antibodies can still survive measles and acquire long-term cell-mediated immunity, whereas children with a deficiency in cell-mediated measles who produce high levels of antibodies can still die from measles.

    The second major problem with the hypothesis is that it is falsified by the available data from the same body of research from which the observation of an association was made.

    Specifically, studies show that surviving measles is not associated with excess mortality. On the contrary, children who survive measles have a lower risk of dying from other causes than children who neither get the vaccine nor experience measles infection.

    Other studies have found measles infection during childhood to be associated with a reduced risk of non-infectious diseases, including degenerative bone disease, certain tumors, Parkinson’s disease, allergic disease, chronic lymphoid leukemia, both non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma, and cardiovascular disease.

    The truth is that scientists have practically no idea how vaccines are affecting the health of the population. Individual vaccines, much less the whole vaccine schedule, do not under randomized, placebo-controlled trials comparing long-term health outcomes, including mortality, between large populations of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

    So keep that in mind when you hear about "Operation Warp Speed" and the drive to very quickly produce a vaccine to supposedly save us all from SARS-CoV-2 -- a "solution" so wonderful that many of its proponents think it should be forced on all of us whether we want it or not.

    If you'd like to learn more about the problems with the measles "immune amnesia" hypothesis, including links to sources, I wrote about it in my January article "NY Times Deceives about the Odds of Dying from Measles in the US":
