THE ILLUSION OF COVID-19 “VACCINE” SAFETY AND EFFICACY

A masterful array of cheap tricks - the TOP TEN

We have been treated to a masterful array of cheap tricks to convince us that the COVID gene-based injections (incorrectly referred to as “vaccines”) were, and remain, “safe and effective”. The world has never seen deception on such a grand scale.

Here is a brief summary of just some of the tricks:

1. SOURCE OF THE VIRUS

We were told, without a scrap of evidence, that the COVID coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) arose naturally despite the fact that no species has ever been found to contain the virus. We were asked to suspend all logic of deduction as the virus was first found right near a Chinese high level biosecurity lab which was in the specific business of manipulating deadly coronaviruses using gain-of-function techniques under contract from the US National Institute of Health and associated institutions and collaborators. Even to this day, those responsible for the biggest man-made human disaster in history, will not admit their guilt, remain protected by the US government and remain free to claim their innocence on useless mainstream media. The illusion has continued for three and a half years.

2. UNDER REPORTING OF SERIOUS ADVERSE EFFECTS AND DEATH

Using recently introduced US Emergency Use or Australian “Provisional Approval” legislation and regulations for the premature release of experimental drugs (and countermeasures) which have been poorly tested for quality, safety and efficacy, governments have sought to rely on ad-hoc and voluntary post-approval adverse drug reaction (ADR) surveillance systems to justify and support claimed “safety and efficacy”. These ADR systems (including the US VAERS, the British Yellow Card System, the European Eudraviligence System and the Australian DAEN system) are grossly inefficient in assessing the true incidence of serious adverse events and death for a large number of reasons. These systems under report the true incidence of serious adverse events and death by a factor up to 100 times or more.

Our own Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) says that: “It is generally acknowledged that adverse events are under-reported around the world, with estimates that 90-95% of adverse events are not reported to regulators”. The TGA historical document (24 Sept. 2014) containing this statement may be downloaded below.

But the All Party Parliamentary Group - Pandemic Response and Recovery Group (UK) suggests a more realistic under reporting factor is 50 times ie only 2% of the true number of adverse events including death are actually reported to the ADR reporting systems.

3. FAILURE TO ASCRIBE A CAUSAL LINK TO SERIOUS ADVERSE REACTIONS AND DEATH

Because the assessment of those few reports of serious adverse effects and death ever reach the ADR systems can easily be ascribed to chance and not due to the COVID injections (very limited information is available to the public on purpose), the reported incidence of death and serious injury be easily minimised.

One of the most important factors in determining whether or not a drug caused a serious adverse event or death is the temporal relationship between the drug administration and the event. “Of the 13,604 U.S. deaths reported as of July 8, 15% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination [in the US CDC VAERS], 19% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 58% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated. CLICK HERE to view a report by Megan Redshaw of 16 July 2023 which details the astounding incidence of serious adverse drug reactions and death reported in relation to the COVID injections.

We know our adverse drug reaction system is unreliable and broken. See my Substack of 22 July. Just search phillipaltman.substack.com

4. CLINICAL EFFICACY SAFETY STANDARDS ARE BEING COMPROMISED

Under the US “Emergency Use Authorisation” and Australian “Provisional Approval” legislation and regulations, safety standards are being sacrificed and doctors are not providing adequate informed consent to alert their patients to this fact.

Previously, it took about 8 years and many, sometimes more than 20, clinical trials to establish safety and efficacy for a new drug prior to its approval for release. It was always considered good science never to depend on a single pivotal trial to prove safety and efficacy - it was important to replicate results in a separate study done elsewhere by other researchers to confirm the results. But not now. Our drug regulators have been fully captured by Big Pharma.

“The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act), signed into law [in the US] in December 2016, was created to help accelerate medical product development and “bring new innovations and advances” to patients quicker and more efficiently. Yet some researchers suggest the law is being used to bypass the once rigorous and evidenced-based standards for new drug approvals, allowing novel drugs to flood the market without adequate data and public transparency.

According to a research letter published on August 8 in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network Open (JAMA), 24 of the 37 drugs approved in 2022 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were based on a single study, with only four drugs having more than three studies to support their approval.” CLICK HERE to view Mega Redshaw’s publication of 10 August which details this sorry state of affairs. This is an astounding development. Drug safety testing standards are collapsing.

In Redshaw’s publication, according to Sasha Latypova (a highly experienced contract drug research executive) : “For example, [in the US] approvals receiving an ‘orphan’ designation [a drug with a limited commercial potential] or what is considered rare disease increased to over 50% percent”. “These products are sometimes approved on as little as a single observational study with fewer than 20 subjects”. Knowing this puts a completely different spin on the words “follow the science”.

This fact, combined with the fact that the ADR reporting systems are broken, means we are not safe. We can no longer trust the drug regulators when they say “safe and effective” because they have abandoned the basic scientific principles of drug development. Previously, any investigational new drug was considered “unsafe” until data was generated to substantiate safety - now this Precautionary Principle has been turned on its head - investigational new drugs can be considered “safe” until proven otherwise. This is wrong. This is dangerous.

5. WILFUL BLINDNESS

Some of the most nauseating claims of COVID “vaccine” safety come from cardiologists themselves in relation to myocarditis.

An example of the failure to acknowledge a typical case of myocarditis is represented by that of Joseph Keating as reported by Megan Redshaw on 6 August. CLICK HERE to view. The publication is below.

Myocarditis Caused By Covid 19 Vaccination

It has been shown that myocarditis is related to the presence of spike protein in COVID vaccinated individuals. CLICK HERE to view an important paper published in the prestigious journal “Circulation”.

Cardiologists who do not look for myocarditis will not find it. This is why many clinicians are reluctant to measure sensitive blood levels of troponin following vaccination as this is a sensitive measure of heart damage. Even standard ECGs and echocardiogram are probably insufficient for a through evaluation of suspected myocarditis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to more fully investigate suspected myocarditis possibly including late gadolinium enhancement if there was a desire to properly investigate. But if you do not look, you will not find.

I have previously estimated 550,000 Australians have suffered heart damage due to the COVID injections. See my Substack of 31 July.

In addition, autopsies of suspected deaths in relation to the COVID “vaccines” are routinely resisted. If you do not look, you will not find.

6. MODELLING

Outrageous claims of efficacy for the COVID “vaccines” have been published using modelling which uses fairytale clinical efficacy rates which have been disproven. Yet it is still claimed that “20 million lives were saved”. See my Substack of 2 August.

7. SLEIGHT OF HAND IN CLINICAL TRIAL DESIGN AND DEFINITIONS

One of the most innovative tricks used to bias claims of safety and efficacy in clinical trials is to categorise those who die shortly after vaccination as “unvaccinated” or those who get infected with COVID up to 21 days post-vaccination as “unvaccinated”. CLICK HERE to view comments by expert statisticians Martin Neil and Norman Fenton in their Substack of 29 July.

Other tricks employed in analysing clinical trial data is to miscategorise vaccination status or exclude unfavourable data on the basis of being “unverified” or “incomplete”. It is no wonder that Big Pharma wanted the US FDA to keep the detailed data secret for 75 years and not released to the public.

Other tricks involve the destruction of the placebo groups in the randomised placebo controlled clinical trials (by treating the placebo group with the “vaccines” after a few months) in the original Pfizer and Moderna COVID “vaccine” trials used for emergency or provisional release to the public. This made it impossible to gain an accurate assessment of true safety. Clever.

By now it is widely known that the claimed “vaccine” efficacy in the initial clinical trials of the COVID “vaccines” were not based on 40,000+ individuals but as few as 170 using a statistical sleight of hand employing relative efficacy vs absolute efficacy. This was covered in my previous Substacks.

8. FAILURE TO GATHER DATA IN OFFICIAL RECORDS

The NSW Dept. of Health no longer seeks to document the vaccination status of COVID patients in hospitals because it was showing towards the end of 2022 that almost all COVID patients in hospital were fully “vaccinated” and boosted. See my previous Substack of 19 July.

9. INFLATED DEATHS USING UNRELIABLE PCR TESTING

As well as inflating “lives saves”, the numbers of those claimed to have died due to COVID was inflated to instil fear and drive vaccination numbers. The PCR test was the prime tool in this deception/trick. The PCR test should never have been used to diagnose COVID, it was not designed to do so. It was used cranked up to be so sensitive that it was useless. Furthermore, authorities never told us the rate of false positives or how unreliable the tests were in practice. The identity of the primer used to design the various PCR tests were not known so the cross reactivity with other corona viruses was never disclosed. See my Substacks of 9 June and 26 July.

10. MASS MEDIA CENSORSHIP

    The illusion of safety and efficacy was promulgated by the mainstream media. Reports of serious adverse reactions and death reported in relation to the “vaccines” were censored (and still are). See my Substacks of 1 & 3 of February.

OVERALL, THE ILLUSIONS OF SAFETY AND EFFICACY WERE WELL ORCHESTRATED, MULTIFACITED AND WELL EXECUTED TO DRIVE FEAR AND REMOVE VACCINE HESITANCY. WE ARE MUCH BETTER INFORMED NOW.
