The Case for Asking Questions about the Science
Segment # 021
More and more information is now being revealed causing WHO, FDA, CDC, and the Biden Administration to reverse previously held positions to accept what big Tech and the mainstream media still classify as COVID disinformation.
It is continually infuriating when our so called experts have to change course without taking any responsibility for the dumb things that they have said and done as irrefutable “science” If this continuous course change doesn’t give all of us the basis for questioning most of what has been shoved down our throats, then we aren’t very bright. What’s it feel like to have just given your kid both a double vaccine and a booster and then get this information. Never mind that this vaccine mandated by the Supreme Court is geared for the Alpha variant. It’s time for Pfizer to show all the data provided to CDC, FDA, and WHO to justify past, present, and future dictates. Follow the insanity and cloth mask that the so called experts now admit are no more than “facial decoration”. How have these people earned our trust?

EU Regulators, WHO Call for End to COVID Boosters, Citing Evidence Strategy Is Failing
EU drug regulators, World Health Organization experts and the former chairman of the UK’s COVID task force all cited mounting evidence mRNA COVID boosters aren’t working and the strategy should be dropped.
European Union drug regulators on Tuesday warned frequent COVID boosters could adversely affect the immune system and said there are currently no data to support repeated doses.
This comes a month after EU drug regulators said it made sense to “administer COVID-19 vaccine boosters as early as three months after the initial two-shot regimen,” amid concerns over the Omicron variant.
According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), continued booster doses every four months could pose a risk of overloading people’s immune systems and lead to fatigue.
Instead, the agency recommended countries space out the intervals between boosters and coordinate their programs with the onset of the cold season in each hemisphere — following blueprints of influenza vaccination strategies.

“While use of additional boosters can be part of contingency plans, repeated vaccinations within short intervals would not represent a sustainable long-term strategy,” the EMA’s head of vaccines strategy, Marco Cavaleri, said Tuesday during a press briefing.
Boosters “can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly,” Cavaleri said. “We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting.”
Cavaleri said more data is needed on the impact of Omicron on vaccines and a better understanding of the evolution of the current wave to decide whether a vaccine specific to the new variant is needed.
“Preliminary results from recently published studies are showing that the vaccine effectiveness against the symptomatic disease is significantly reduced for Omicron and tends to wane over time,” Cavaleri said.
“It is important that there is a good discussion around the choice of the composition of the vaccine to make sure that we have a strategy that is not just reactive … and try to come up with an approach that will be suitable in order to prevent a future variant,” he added.
Just last month, Cavaleri, speaking on behalf of the EMA, said it made sense to administer COVID boosters as early as three months after the initial two-dose regimen due to “extremely worrying” infection numbers.
“While the current recommendation is to administer boosters preferably after six months, the data currently available support safe and effective administration of a booster as early as three months from completion,” Cavaleri said during a press briefing in December.
WHO warns repeated boosters not viable strategy against new variants
The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) on Jan. 11 warned, “a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.”
The expert group, created by the WHO to assess the performance of COVID vaccines, said providing fresh doses of already existing vaccines as new strains of the virus emerge is not the best way to fight a pandemic.
TAG-CO-VAC said COVID vaccines that can prevent infection and transmission, in addition to preventing severe disease and death are needed and should be developed.
Until such vaccines are available, and as the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolves, the composition of current COVID vaccines may need to be updated, the group said.
COVID vaccines need to be genetically and antigenically close to the circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, be more effective in protection against infection, and should elicit an immune response that is broad, strong and long-lasting in order to reduce the need for successive booster doses, TAG-CO-VAC said.
“It’s over, people,” Alex Berenson, former New York Times reporter and best-selling author, wrote. “Aside from a few unlucky Israelis, no one is going to receive a fourth dose of the original vaccine.”
Berenson wrote:
“Everyone with eyes can see it doesn’t work against Omicron — and if you haven’t gotten a third dose, at this point, why would you? You are getting at most weeks of marginally improved protection for potentially severe side effects.
“Instead the WHO is now promising/demanding vaccines based on whatever the dominant Sars-Cov-2 strain is at the moment. That promise is as empty as all the others the health bureaucrats and vaccine companies have made.”
Berenson noted there have been at least five major “variants of concern” in the last year alone, two of which became globally dominant.
“Even the mRNA vaccines cannot be cooked up and delivered fast enough to match whatever strain of virus becomes dominant,” Berenson said. “COVID is faster than the scientists.”
UK expert calls for COVID to be treated as an endemic virus similar to flu
COVID should be treated as an endemic virus similar to the flu and mass vaccination should end after the booster campaign, said Dr. Clive Dix, former chairman of the UK’s vaccine task force.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an endemic refers to “the constant presence and/or usual prevalence of a disease or infectious agent in a population within a geographic area,” whereas a pandemic is an “out of control” epidemic that has spread over several countries or continents, usually affecting a large number of people.
“We need to analyze whether we use the current booster campaign to ensure the vulnerable are protected if this is seen to be necessary,” he said. “Mass population-based vaccination in the UK should now end.”
Calling for a “major rethink” of the UK’s COVID strategy, Dix encouraged the ministers to “urgently back research into COVID immunity beyond antibodies” to include B-cells and white blood cells, called T-cells.
Dix said there should be a shift to disease management from viral spreading, and “stopping progression to severe disease in vulnerable groups” should be the future objective.
Do you think maybe the WHO, FDA, and CDC should at least mention treatment as part of the solution to dealing with the COVID endemic?

Lancet letter questions narrative about efficacy of COVID-19 injections
by: Sara Middleton, staff writer | January 1, 2022
(NaturalHealth365) If public health officials and elected representatives were to “follow the science” during this pandemic, then they must conclude that COVID shot mandates make absolutely zero sense, right?
A recent letter from the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet raised this very question by pointing out the apparent lack of effectiveness of the COVID-19 injections. Yet, from Boston to Chicago and an appalling number of other American cities, we continue to see these insane and unethical vax mandates. Will the American public finally understand they need to vote with their dollars and simply stop patronizing businesses that require proof of vax?
Underwhelming vax efficacy is the “elephant (not) in the room,” according to the Lancet
In the beginning, we were told that everyone had to get the jab to end the pandemic, stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, and keep everyone else safe.
Notice how quickly that narrative has changed.
Now – at best – the shot may reduce your risk of severe hospitalization and death with COVID-19, but it won’t stop you from getting it (and we still haven’t fully uncovered all the potential risks of adverse effects of these shots, which people assume full responsibility for once they agree to the jab).
Of course, this brings up an important question: “What is my risk of getting severely sick and hospitalized with COVID-19 anyway, even without the shot?” This risk level is widely different for different people, depending on factors like age and co-morbidities. And as a group of scientists wrote in a letter to the Lancet in July 2021, Big Pharma presents the statistics carefully to make the shots seem much more effective than they actually are.
“Vaccine efficacy is generally reported as a relative risk reduction (RRR),” the Lancet writers explain. “It uses the relative risk (RR) – i.e., the ratio of attack rates with and without a vaccine” (emphasis ours).
The authors go on to list the reported relative risk reductions of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID shots as 94% and 91%, respectively. Sounds impressive. “However,” the team continues, “RRR should be seen against the background risk of being infected and becoming ill with COVID-19, which varies between populations and over time. Although the RRR considers only participants who could benefit from the vaccine, the absolute risk reduction (ARR), which is the difference between attack rates with and without a vaccine, considers the whole population” (emphasis ours).
In other words, absolute risk reduction is how much YOUR personal risk of COVID-19 goes down as a result of the vax (or any other variable in question). In contrast, relative risk reduction only compares the risk in two different groups of people (e.g., vax vs. unvaxxed).
So, what is the absolute risk reduction of these shots? As the authors point out, it is LESS THAN 2 PERCENT for all the mRNA COVID shots – just 1.2% for Moderna and just 0.84% for Pfizer!
This essentially means that if you’ve taken the shots, your risk of getting COVID-19 has decreased by, at best, a measly one or two percentage points. And yet that level of underwhelming efficacy warrants the push to force an entire global population to take these drugs?
More from the Lancet: Vax mandates “ignore” the fact that vaxxed people can spread COVID-19
Remember, it’s well-established that these jabs do not stop transmission. This includes the third booster, which is likely just one of many additional doses to come. Indeed, so-called “breakthrough” cases of COVID-19, which were once downplayed as “rare,” are now incredibly common.
Plus, double jabbed and triple jabbed folks who contract COVID-19 can pass it on to other people and be just as infectious as their non-jabbed peers – an inconvenient truth for public health officials because it effectively destroys the moral imperative to get the shot.
The Lancet published additional letters bringing to light this issue in November and December 2021 by a researcher named Günter Kampf of the Institute for Hygiene and Environmental Medicine, University Medicine Greifswald in Germany.
Among many salient points, Kampf highlights the glaring insanity of the claim that “the unvaxxed are a threat to the vaxxed” (because, after all, if the shots were truly “safe and effective,” then the people who get them wouldn’t be at risk from people who don’t). Kampf also warned that decision-makers who “assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission” are being “grossly negligent” when implementing public health control measures – such as banning unvaxxed people from public spaces even though their vaxxed peers can clearly still get and transmit the virus. Finally, Kampf rightly says that “stigmatizing the unvaccinated” is inappropriate and “not justified.” This has never been more obvious in the wake of the so-called Omicron variant.
Ask yourself:
If you took three flu shots in less than one year and STILL got the flu, would you start to have serious doubts about the shot’s efficacy? Would your doubts be justified? What about a vax for any other disease?
Why, then, is the COVID shot any different?

Top Israeli immunologist calls out government for catastrophic pandemic handling
by: Edit Lang, staff writer | January 15, 2022
(NaturalHealth365) By now – almost two years into the pandemic – millions worldwide see clearly what the governments around the world are up to. They know what’s going on. People are waking up in droves, rejecting the lies, coercion, mandates, threats, and censorship. Their blatant efforts to crush fundamental human rights are backfiring. As they desperately attempt to hold onto their power to control the very people they are supposed to protect and represent, it becomes more evident that this is not about a virus. The draconian measures are not about public health.
Even though many see through the insanity of the past two years, most lack the courage to speak up. So instead, they remain silent in hopes that this nightmare one day will simply end. But by choosing not to say anything, they all become complicit in the crime against humanity that is unfolding before our very eyes. But thankfully, courage is not foreign to all.
In an open letter, leading Israeli immunologist, Professor Ehud Qimron, did not hold back and criticized how his government handled the COVID-19 pandemic. Credit to Professor Qimron, he chose to take a stand, and by doing so, helped to unveil the truth behind the COVID agenda.
Take the next few minutes and read his letter below.
Ministry of Health, it’s time to admit failure
“In the end, the truth will always be revealed, and the truth about the coronavirus policy is beginning to be revealed. When the destructive concepts collapse one by one, there is nothing left but to tell the experts who led the management of the pandemic – we told you so.
Two years late, you finally realize that a respiratory virus cannot be defeated and that any such attempt is doomed to fail. You do not admit it, because you have admitted almost no mistake in the last two years, but in retrospect it is clear that you have failed miserably in almost all of your actions, and even the media is already having a hard time covering your shame.
You refused to admit that the infection comes in waves that fade by themselves, despite years of observations and scientific knowledge. You insisted on attributing every decline of a wave solely to your actions, and so through false propaganda “you overcame the plague.” And again you defeated it, and again and again and again.
You refused to admit that mass testing is ineffective, despite your own contingency plans explicitly stating so (“Pandemic Influenza Health System Preparedness Plan, 2007”, p. 26).
You refused to admit that recovery is more protective than a vaccine, despite previous knowledge and observations showing that non-recovered vaccinated people are more likely to be infected than recovered people. You refused to admit that the vaccinated are contagious despite the observations. Based on this, you hoped to achieve herd immunity by vaccination – and you failed in that as well.
You insisted on ignoring the fact that the disease is dozens of times more dangerous for risk groups and older adults, than for young people who are not in risk groups, despite the knowledge that came from China as early as 2020.
You refused to adopt the “Barrington Declaration”, signed by more than 60,000 scientists and medical professionals, or other common sense programs. You chose to ridicule, slander, distort and discredit them. Instead of the right programs and people, you have chosen professionals who lack relevant training for pandemic management (physicists as chief government advisers, veterinarians, security officers, media personnel, and so on).
You have not set up an effective system for reporting side effects from the vaccines, and reports on side effects have even been deleted from your Facebook page. Doctors avoid linking side effects to the vaccine, lest you persecute them as you did with some of their colleagues. You have ignored many reports of changes in menstrual intensity and menstrual cycle times. You hid data that allows for objective and proper research (for example, you removed the data on passengers at Ben Gurion Airport). Instead, you chose to publish non-objective articles together with senior Pfizer executives on the effectiveness and safety of vaccines.
Irreversible damage to trust
However, from the heights of your hubris, you have also ignored the fact that in the end the truth will be revealed. And it begins to be revealed. The truth is that you have brought the public’s trust in you to an unprecedented low, and you have eroded your status as a source of authority. The truth is that you have burned hundreds of billions of shekels to no avail – for publishing intimidation, for ineffective tests, for destructive lockdowns and for disrupting the routine of life in the last two years.
You have destroyed the education of our children and their future. You made children feel guilty, scared, smoke, drink, get addicted, drop out, and quarrel, as school principals around the country attest. You have harmed livelihoods, the economy, human rights, mental health and physical health.
You slandered colleagues who did not surrender to you, you turned the people against each other, divided society and polarized the discourse. You branded, without any scientific basis, people who chose not to get vaccinated as enemies of the public and as spreaders of disease. You promote, in an unprecedented way, a draconian policy of discrimination, denial of rights and selection of people, including children, for their medical choice. A selection that lacks any epidemiological justification.
When you compare the destructive policies you are pursuing with the sane policies of some other countries – you can clearly see that the destruction you have caused has only added victims beyond the vulnerable to the virus. The economy you ruined, the unemployed you caused, and the children whose education you destroyed – they are the surplus victims as a result of your own actions only.
There is currently no medical emergency, but you have been cultivating such a condition for two years now because of lust for power, budgets and control. The only emergency now is that you still set policies and hold huge budgets for propaganda.
and psychological engineering instead of directing them to strengthen the health care system.
This emergency must stop!
Professor Udi Qimron, Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University”
