An intriguing aspect to consider about this study is what it doesn’t address. There’s a complete absence of any discussion about how many pediatric hospitalizations due to Covid were prevented. To remain objective, one would assume that considering the “benefits” of these restrictions upon children, beyond the acute mental health toll, would be necessary when evaluating the other side of this issue.
In agriculture, public health, and medicine, we should stop envisioning magic technological bullets that empower governments more than they benefit their purported target populations. We should consider not only the ostensible short-term benefits of interventions but also the broader costs.
Economic destruction, increased suicide attempts due to seemingly indefinite isolation, horrifying levels of learning loss, increasing obesity amongst kids, plummeting test scores, increased poverty and hunger, supply chain problems, rampant inflation; all of it is a direct result of policies imposed by terrified, incompetent “experts.”
How could Covid vaccines have been highly effective in the frail and elderly? They were not. To understand why, we have to struggle with complicated biases in observational studies because we don’t have randomized trials with a mortality endpoint.
For far too long, America’s greatest scandal has been that no important scandals can be exposed. Today, however, it seems possible this state of affairs might not remain our New Normal forever.
The confirmation of RFK, Jr. as Secretary of the DHHS, and the expected confirmations of Drs Marty Makary and Jay Bhattacharya as head of the FDA and NIH, respectively, does give me hope that this ship can be turned around.
I support Kennedy’s decision to stop funding mRNA vaccine development through BARDA. Yet the question remains: How can Kennedy, or anyone, justify the study, authorization, or administration of any mRNA vaccines ever, in any population, based on this understanding?
There should be time, and urgency, to fix this evidence gap. Not because the next pandemic is just around the corner, but because the costs of getting things wrong will have long-term implications that may be far harder to address once wholesale changes are initiated. As a result, what is prudent is to give the evidence pause for thought, to identify the knowledge gaps, address them, and to pursue better evidence-based policy.
Fauci and co-authors therefore make an important contribution to the Covid narrative, underlining the deception of the past two years. Claims that this deception promoted an overall good – that there was a ‘global pandemic’ and compliance with mass vaccination would be for the population’s benefit – are refuted by Fauci et al.’s evidence. Mass vaccination, while very successful financially for a small but influential minority, was never expected to work.
The REPPARE project is just over the midway point. This document outlines progress made and some of the key impacts it has had so far. We have broken down the update into key categories.
