What Good Comes from Gain-of-Function?

Though almost all lab-based scientific research and advancements carry at least a tiny element of risk, nothing like the level of terminal, global, and trans-generational risk of GOF has – to the public’s knowledge – been undertaken since the Manhattan Project and the study of radiation. And even that had very specific, very probable, and very real and tangible benefits (useful for “pure” or basic science, ending World War II, power generation, nuclear medicine, etc.) that GOF cannot begin to claim.

Was this Deceptive Trade? Paxton v. Moderna

Brownstone Institute / May 2, 2023 / Law, Vaccines / 4 minute read

Suing vaccine makers is notoriously difficult by design. Alone among private producers, they are indemnified against nearly all harm thanks to government privilege. That makes them mostly off-limits for legal liability from vaccine injuries. Eliminate that provision and the companies would not likely even be in business at all, which tells you all you need to know. However, deceptive claims are a separate issue. Finally we might have here a perfectly crafted legal position to hold these run-amuk companies accountable.

The Big Fail

Spike Hampson / April 26, 2023 / Vaccines / 11 minute read

If vaccines were immunizing people then countries that went in big for vaccination should have seen a more favorable CHANGE in their Covid death rates from the first to the second year than was true for the countries that did not vaccinate much. This is the fundamental premise on which the following study is built.

The “Best Available Science”: The CDC and the Vaccine Travel Mandate

Hunter McBryde / April 25, 2023 / Government, Policy, Vaccines / 13 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Continuing to exclude unvaccinated noncitizens, non-immigrants from entering the United States is a policy that puts politics over science. Politicians claiming the opposite to be true are funded by the very industries that benefit most from continuing with such a policy. Their pushback against ending the mandate is justified by their faith in the “best available science” yet that science cannot be produced by the very institution on whom the continuation of the mandate rests.

Changing One Mind at a Time

In an idle moment, I was looking through my emails, and came across this little exchange. In August 2022, the vax push was in full swing, despite the evidence of serious concerns. Here’s a trail starting and ending with an email from a medical provider I had visited once or twice in central Melbourne.

Polio vs Covid: Why the Enforcement Disparity?

Brownstone Institute / April 21, 2023 / Public Health, Vaccines / 3 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Vaccine efforts have been a top priority for the Biden Administration. In fact, the US Government is more concerned with vaccination status than disease itself. Foreigners can enter the country when testing positive for Covid, but the unvaccinated remain banned from entering the nation. Meanwhile, 50 percent of illegal immigrants entering New York City are not vaccinated against polio.

The Corrupted Science Behind Biden’s COVID Vax Mandates

Newly disclosed emails show that the Food and Drug Administration finding behind that order, official certification of the jabs as “safe and effective,” was the result of a bureaucratic bait-and-switch.

The False Messaging on Vaccines Given to Pregnant Women

David Bell / April 19, 2023 / Vaccines / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

These data indicate that there is NO basis for saying the vaccine is safe in pregnancy. Concentration of LNPs in ovaries, a doubled pregnancy loss rate, and raised fetal abnormality rate across all measured categories indicates that designating a safe-in-pregnancy label (B1 category in Australia) was contrary to available evidence. The data implies that not only was the Government’s “safe and effective” sloganeering not accurate, it was totally misleading with respect to the safety data available.

What Is a Safety Signal and Why Does It Matter?

The authorities intentionally conflated the common public understanding with the technical precision of the medical specialists in insisting that serious side effects have been very rare. This was facilitated with the pandemic of media malfeasance. The Censorship-Industrial Complex was weaponized into a powerful tool of state power in an evolving system of governance that is a threat to the very survival of free society.

Read the Label! It’s BioNTech’s Vaccine, Not Pfizer’s

Whether or not it is the intention, the effect of the incessant raging against Pfizer is to hide what is in plain sight: namely, that it is BioNTech’s product and that it is BioNTech, not Pfizer, that has been the main corporate beneficiary of the creation by government fiat of a massive Covid-19 vaccine market.

The Final Brick in the Vaccine Efficacy Narrative

Two key bricks seem to have already fallen from the COVID vaccines’ narrative – the one about their fantastic efficacy against infections and the one about their superb safety. However, one stubborn narrative brick seems to stand still, leading many people to believe that the booster doses of the vaccines are capable of providing long-term protection against severe illness and deaths (despite their failure to protect against infections).

Within weeks of Pfizer publishing its data on waning efficacy, President Biden mandated all federal workers (and employees of contractors) to get vaccinated within 75 days, otherwise they’d face punishment or have their employment terminated.
