Vaccines

Vaccines articles deliver critical analysis and commentary on policy, safety, efficacy, mandates, and their effects on public health, personal liberty, child development, and social life — questioning official narratives and institutional claims.

We cover major issues like COVID-19 vaccine mandates, mRNA risks, vaccine injury reporting, childhood immunization schedules, ACIP decisions, liability protection, informed consent failures, and calls for evidence-based reform and voluntary choice.

Adverse Effects of the Pfizer Vaccine Covered Up by the Israeli Ministry of Health

So if Israel did not in fact have a functioning adverse event monitoring system in place and its data was a fiction, and even if when it did launch a proper monitoring system a year too late, with analysis of the system’s findings completely ignored and withheld – what was the FDA really relying on? What were all those regulators relying on?

Stop Vaccinating Children for Covid: It’s Neither Medically Justified Nor Ethical

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Ordinarily, it would be best to put the whole Covid nightmare behind us and move on. This might be one of the rare exceptions, for accountability for the pain and harms inflicted on individuals and society is the best, and likely the only effective insurance against a repeat.

The Experts Still Pushing Coerced Jabs

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In a previous era, or in a previously credible medical journal, an argument for coercion to support a medical procedure would have required very high standards of evidence of efficacy and safety. It is arguing for the abrogation of fundamental principles such as informed consent that are at the core of modern medical ethics. Failure to address well-known contrary data should prevent an article from even reaching the peer-review stage.

Israel’s Green Pass Policy: A Chronicle of a Tragedy Foretold

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The greater the distrust, the greater the fear of sanctions. But the greater the fear of sanctions, the more those objecting to vaccinate were adamant not to vaccinate. The erosion of trust found in this study echoes other studies indicating that the Israelis are losing trust in public institutions, with over half saying the country’s democracy is in danger.

Moderna and Pfizer: Cat Fight! 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

There is absolutely no theory of political economy in existence that could possibly justify this combination of 1) private company with vast tax funding, 2) government-enforced monopoly claims of ownership, 3) indemnification against damage claims, 4) publicly-traded stocks, plus and 5) a forced customer base. And to top it all off, it’s not even clear that the product worked; it certainly did not live up to the wild claims from top government officials.

D.C.’s Dangerous and Divisive Vaccine Mandate

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Over socially distanced glasses of chardonnay, well-to-do Beltway residents cling to their COVID-19 narrative where vaccines funded by the big pharmaceutical companies offer the only hope. In their world, no one — not even children — is safe without a vaccine. Anyone who dares deviate from the company line is dismissed as a backwater Trump-supporting conspiracist, even lifelong Democrats like me.

New Zealand: Mugged by Covid Reality

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

With the passage of time, as evidence mounted of the folly of Zero Covid policy and the accumulating harms it was causing, the New Zealand government was trapped in a prison of its own construction and found it difficult to change course, even after the futility of the entire program became obvious in the data.

The Demonization of Dissent

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It is dangerously naive to dismiss this spike in vaccine hesitancy as the deluded actions of an indoctrinated minority of crackpots who must be brought to their senses. Denouncing parents who raise reasonable questions and challenges about risk/benefit for their children as heretic anti-vaxxers, as the public health machine in the US and UK has done repeatedly, is proving equally self-defeating.
