Once more into the breach….
Attempting that fantastical Unicorn known as informed consent in an age that has already moved on to a one size fits all approach the P.S.R.B (Pharmacoconuts Safety Review Board) met recently to review the latest round of covid shots. These versions are relying on the success of former campaigns to justify going back to the well. Like the last set of boosters, the realization that the virus evolves faster than our development process has resulted in an almost instantaneous pipeline from pharmaceutical companies straight into the bloodstreams of a beleaguered public.
The FDA has approved new shots from both Pfizer and Moderna and a CDC panel voted 13-1 to recommend them for anyone 6 months of age and up. The lone dissenter and guy least likely to get a lucrative job offer from either company in the future was Dr. Pablo J. Sanchez MD. His reasoning for hesitation about a blanket recommendation for all.
“We have extremely limited data on children and infants and other individuals, and I think that needs to be made available to the parents. I also think that in certain circumstances, we do have to be concerned about potential side effects, especially in young adults and in young adult males. And so, I think all of that needs to be weighed. And so, that’s why I hesitate to make it just a universal recommendation.”
Dr. Sanchez graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and has forty years of experience. He is currently a practicing neonatologist at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Center for Perinatal Research. His concerns have mostly been downplayed or ignored completely by the media and his cohorts who disagree while arguing the benefits outweigh safety concerns.
Dr. Ashish Jha is the former White House Covid Czar and was also the Dean of Brown University School of Public Health. Prior to these he was the faculty director of the Harvard Global Health Institute and a Senior Adviser with the Albright Stonebridge Group (Madeline Albright’s DC consulting firm). He has been the lead salesman for the White House making the media rounds promoting these new products in interviews that sound more like commercials. Dr. Jha does have a conflict of interest here in his most updated financial disclosure for the White House he reports 477,000 dollars of income from covid speaking fees and covid consulting.
Joining Dr. Jha on the pharmaceutical promotion tour is Xavier Becerra, the US Health & Human Services Secretary. He just recently pointed out that the greatest piece of data in favor of the covid vaccines is that we are all standing here alive today because of the vaccinations. This seems an insane take until you realize Mr. Becerra is not a physician or even a healthcare worker but instead is a career lawyer and politician who became the Attorney General of California in 2017. He is a very powerful man in Washington; the HHS department receives more funding than the Pentagon. That is a large amount of money, for reference the Pentagon recently failed their 6th straight audit with about 4 trillion unaccounted for.
Thanks to some tricky advertising, Pfizer has been promoting their new shot with television commercials while avoiding that long list of side effects we see at the end of every other drug commercial. If they were required to list them, it would look something like this.
Myocarditis, pericarditis, tinnitus, stroke, pulmonary embolism, anaphylaxis, muscle spasms, dysmenorrhea, guillain-barre syndrome, and thrombocytopenia just to name a few. These potential adverse reactions may be rare, but they are still real, particularly when the law of large numbers applies. Pfizer conversely uses this as a defense as their own analysis of adverse events is 38 pages long. After all we gave this shot to everyone so of course every side effect in existence is going to be reported but that should in no way cast doubt about the products themselves.

Stats vary on this but about 8000 people die in the US daily from a variety of causes. At the height of the pandemic, we were giving almost half a million doses a day. Statistically some overlap of those two numbers is to be expected even if the shots were completely benign. Someone somewhere is going to know someone who passed away soon after vaccination. If that did occur to a friend, loved one, or God forbid a child no number of studies published in Nature or JAMA repeating the scarcity of these incidents will assuage them.
The fly in the ointment may not be any of those known and now agreed upon adverse events, but instead something else that must not be acknowledged. Problems with manufacturing have plagued the pharmaceutical industry for its entire existence and concerns about adulterated products and contamination are not hypothetical concerns but instead historic facts that resulted in significant regulations to prevent them from happening again. Vaccines are not exempt from this history.
In April of 1995 about 200,000 children were given a defective polio vaccine that gave them polio instead of protecting them from it. Reports of paralysis would start rolling in a week later and within a month the first mass vaccination attempt against polio was an abysmal failure causing 40,000 cases of polio, 200 of which resulted in some level of paralysis and 10 deaths. The cause was poor manufacturing and quality control at Cutter Laboratories, one of four companies producing the vaccine created by Jonas Salk. Government regulators reported no issues with Cutter Labs production process but Salk himself would investigate and discover that they had deviated from his procedure leaving DNA contamination in the product. This was a horrifying turn for a product that had just received approval after the successful March of Dimes trial showed the vaccine 80-90% effective without harming a single child.
With no bad press to drag it down and an easier route of administration (by mouth with a lump of sugar) Dr. Albert Sable’s oral polio vaccine would become the product of choice. It was so popular it inspired part of the lyrics to the 1964 musical Mary Poppins “Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in a most delightful way.” Unfortunately, the oral version would also have its problems because by absorbing the “live” vaccine through the gut there was a very small risk of virus reactivation causing polio instead of preventing it and a handful of children would be paralyzed every year. So, manufacturing difficulties ironically resulted in the commercial success of a more dangerous vaccine. The oral vaccine would also have its own contamination issues. SV40 a virus endemic in the rhesus monkeys that were used to create the vaccine was discovered in about 30% of the early doses. In 1961 new regulations would be implemented to help prevent SV40 contamination in the Polio vaccines moving forward.

Salk’s version of the vaccine when manufactured properly was the superior product but after the Cutter Labs incident he was persona non grata in the scientific community. Sabin did not have kind words to say about his competition and was overhead making the following comment.
“Salk was a kitchen chemist, he never had an original idea in his life....You could go into the kitchen and do what he did”
Salk experienced a great deal of animosity from the scientific community, historian Aaron Klein argues this was due to him being a prominent popular public figure. You could use the term media darling to describe Salk at this time. TV, radio interviews and press conferences with him were frequent, Life magazine would do a full spread about the good doctor. Dr. Salk believed in reaching out to the common man and speaking to him in a manner that was understandable, for this he was loved by the public but shunned by fellow academics who viewed this behavior as unseemly. Salk would sum this up very well with a statement that holds true to this day.
“I was neither a politician nor a performer. Those remarks were simply made by colleagues who at that time were reacting as is perfectly natural in professional circles, particularly in the field of science where the coin of the realm is recognition. I was being recognized; they were not.”
Salk would spend the rest of his life arguing for his vaccine over Sabin’s oral version and condemning reckless political decisions that endangered children. He would pass away before a government panel would eventually agree with him due to the slight risk of virus reactivation in Sabin’s product (1 in 750,000). Despite the bumps along the way the Polio vaccines were a resounding success resulting in the eradication of one the worst diseases mankind has ever faced. It is important to note that despite their differences both men agreed not to commercially patent their vaccines, a far cry from our pharmaceutical overlords of today.
Fast forward and we find ourselves with another case of poor manufacturing potentially leaving DNA contamination in the covid shots. Kevin McKernan was the first researcher to report these disturbing findings, which have now been duplicated. At the University of South Carolina, Professor Phillip Buckhaults repeated Kevin’s analysis with the goal of debunking it only to confirm it. He shared his concerns and what this means at a South Carolina Senate Hearing. These claims were at first ignored, then acknowledged that there may be some DNA present, but it is not enough to cause any problems. The hypothetical concern here is that this would be the first time DNA contamination was introduced directly into the cell nucleus with lipid nanoparticles so saying the amount of DNA discovered is under the limit for toxicity is disingenuous.
For the vaccine injured this has created a ray of hope to penetrate the legal liability for the manufacturers. It’s like the shield generator on the Death Star has been brought down and if it can be proven that these products were adulterated, they may have some legal ground to stand on. Investors have clearly been spooked away as Pfizer and Moderna stock have had a very rough six months. I currently view these companies as dangerous cornered wild animals, extreme caution and preventative safety measures should be implemented by anyone who dares publicly challenge their interest.
In Texas things have come to a head as the attorney general Ken Paxton fresh off surviving a political assassination attempt with sixteen impeachment charges has filed a lawsuit against Pfizer for attempting to mislead the public about the effectiveness of their product. It is 54 pages long so you may want to make a large pot of coffee. Full link - https://docs.reclaimthenet.org/Pfizer-Vaccine-Petition-Filed.pdf
