The
Lies Behind the ‘Pandemic of Unvaxxed’
Analysis by Dr. Joseph MercolaFact Checked

STORY
AT-A-GLANCE
· According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House and most mainstream media,
what we have now is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” with 95% to 99% of
COVID-related hospitalizations and deaths being attributed to the unvaccinated
· To achieve that statistic,
the CDC included hospitalization and mortality data from January through June
2021. The vast majority of the United States population was unvaccinated during
that timeframe
· January 1, 2021, only 0.5%
of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated
31% had received one or more shots, and as of June 15, 48.7% were fully
“vaccinated”
· Natural immunity offers
robust protection against all variants, whereas vaccine-induced immunity can’t.
The reason for this is because when you recover from the natural infection, you
have both antibodies and T cells against all parts of the virus, not just the
spike protein
· According to Dr. Anthony
Fauci, the Delta variant is both more transmissible and more dangerous than the
original virus and previous variants, but real-world data show it is actually
weaker and far less dangerous, even though it does spread more easily
According to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House and most
mainstream media, what we have now is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”1
According to
the official narrative, 99% of COVID-19 deaths and 95% of COVID-related
hospitalizations are occurring among the unvaccinated. In a July 16, 2021,
White House press briefing,2 CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky claimed
“over 97% of people who are entering the hospital right now are unvaccinated.”
But as reported
by Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle,” “that statistic is
grossly misleading,”3 and in an August 5, 2021, video statement,
Walensky inadvertently revealed how that 95% to 99% statistic was created.
Grossly Misleading Data
Manipulation
As it turns
out, to achieve those statistics, the CDC included hospitalization and
mortality data from January through June 2021. It does not include more recent
data or data related to the Delta variant, which is now the most prevalent
strain in circulation. The problem is, the vast majority of the United States
population was unvaccinated during that timeframe.
January 1,
2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April,
an estimated 31% had received one or more shots,4 and as of June 15,
48.7% were fully “vaccinated.”5 Keep in mind that you’re not “fully
vaccinated” until two weeks after your second dose (in the case of Pfizer or
Moderna), which is given six weeks after your first shot. This is according to
the CDC.6
So, those
receiving an initial dose in June, for example, won’t be “fully vaccinated”
until eight weeks later, sometime in July or August.
By using
statistics from a time period when the U.S. as a whole was largely
unvaccinated, the CDC is now claiming we’re in a “pandemic of the
unvaccinated,” in an effort to demonize those who still have not agreed to
receive this experimental gene modification injection.
Selective Pressure Promotes
Emergence of New Variants
Here’s what
Canadian viral immunologist and vaccine researcher Dr. Byram Bridle told
Ingraham about the claim that we’re in a pandemic of the unvaxxed, and that the
unvaccinated are hotbeds for dangerous variants:
“Absolutely, it’s untrue to be calling this a
pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s certainly untrue … that the unvaccinated
are somehow driving the emergence of the novel variants. This goes against
every scientific principle that we understand.
The reality is, the nature of the vaccines we are
using right now, and the way we’re rolling them out, are going to be applying
selective pressure to this virus to promote the emergence of new variants.
Again, this is based on sound principles.
We have to look no further than … the emergence of
antibiotic resistance … The principle is this: If you have a biological entity
that is prone to mutation — and the SARS-CoV-2, like all coronaviruses is prone
to mutation — and you apply a narrowly focused selective pressure that is
nonlethal, and you do this over a long period of time, this is the recipe for
driving the emergence of novel variants.
This is exactly what we’re doing. Our vaccines are
focused on a single protein of the virus, so the virus only has to alter one
protein, and the vaccines don’t come close to providing sterilizing immunity.
People who are vaccinated still get infected, it
only seems particularly good at blunting the disease, and what that tells you
therefore is that these vaccines in the vast majority of people are applying a
nonlethal pressure, narrowly focused on one protein, and the vaccine rollout is
occurring over a long period of time. That’s the recipe for driving variants.”
Natural Immunity Offers Far
Superior Protection
Bridle also
explains why natural immunity offers robust protection against all variants,
whereas vaccine-induced immunity can’t. When you acquire the infection
naturally, your body develops antibodies against ALL of the viral proteins
whereas the COVID shots only trigger antibodies against one, namely the spike
protein.
As mentioned
above, when you have antibodies against just one of the viral proteins, the
virus only needs to mutate that one protein in order to evade your immune
system. When you have natural immunity, on the other hand, your antibodies will
recognize all parts of the virus, so even if the spike protein is mutated, your
body will recognize other parts of the virus and mount an attack against those.
That SARS-CoV-2
works the same way other viruses do was shown in a Nature Reviews Immunology
study7 by Alessandro Sette
and Shane Crotty, published in October 2020. The study, “Cross-Reactive Memory
T Cells and Herd Immunity to SARS-CoV-2” argued that naturally-acquired
immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is potent, long-lasting and very broad in scope, as
you develop both antibodies and T cells that target multiple components of the
virus and not just one.
If we are to
depend on vaccine-induced immunity, as public health officials are urging us to
do, we’ll end up on a never-ending booster treadmill. Boosters will absolutely
be necessary, as the shot offers such narrow protection against a single
protein of the virus. Already, data around the world show vaccine-induced
protection is waning rapidly in the face of new variants, and Moderna has
publicly stated that the need for additional boosters is expected.8
How Dangerous Is the Delta
Variant?
According to
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Delta variant is both more transmissible and more
dangerous than the original virus and previous variants. July 4, 2021, he told
NBC News:9
“It is more effective and efficient in its ability
to transmit from person to person. And studies that we've seen where they have
been the variant that's dominated in other countries, it's clear that it
appears to be more lethal in the sense of more serious — allow you to get more
serious disease leading to hospitalization, and in some cases leading to
deaths.”
In a June 29,
2021, interview,10 Fauci called the Delta variant “a game-changer” for unvaccinated
people, warning it will devastate the unvaccinated population while vaccinated
individuals are protected against it.
The Delta is
more contagious but it’s far less deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a
much weaker virus than both the U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta]
variants. ~ Dr. Peter McCullough
Remember, Fauci
is not a clinician and has never treated someone infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Other health experts and practicing physicians who treat COVID-19 patients
disagree with Fauci’s claims, arguing that not only is the Delta variant not
more dangerous, it’s certainly not more dangerous for the unvaccinated.
As reported by
Ingraham in June 2021 (video above), there’s an evolutionary genetics theory
called Muller’s Ratchet, which states that as an outbreak starts to peter out,
the virus tends to mutate into a more transmissible form, but at the same time
it grows weaker, causing far less serious infection. According to
epidemiologist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, this is exactly what
we’re seeing. He told Ingraham:
“The good news is on the 18th of June, the United
Kingdom presented their 16th report11 on the
mutations — and they’re doing a great job, much better than our CDC — and what
they demonstrated is that the Delta is more contagious but it’s far less
deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a much weaker virus than both the
U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta] variants.”
Spike Mutations Render
Vaccinated Vulnerable to Delta
Importantly,
the Delta variant contains three different mutations, all in the spike protein.
This, McCullough explains, allows this variant to evade the immune responses in
those who have received the COVID jabs — but not those who have natural immunity
which, again, is much broader. In a June 30, 2021, appearance on Fox News
(video above), McCullough stated:12
“It is very clear from the UK Technical Briefing13 that was
published June 18th that the vaccine provides no protection against the Delta variant.
It’s a very mild variant.
Whether you get the vaccine or not, patients will
get some very mild symptoms like a cold and they can be easily managed …
Patients who have severe symptoms or at high risk, we can use simple drug
combinations at home and get them through the illness. So, there’s no reason
now to push vaccinations.”
Children’s
Health Defense chief scientific officer Brian Hooker, Ph.D., has echoed
McCullough’s sentiments. The Defender quotes Hooker:14
“What we’re seeing is virus evolution 101. Viruses
like to survive, so killing the host (i.e. the human who is infected) defeats
the purpose because killing the host kills the virus, too. For this reason, new
variants of viruses that circulate widely through the population tend to become
more transmissive but less pathogenic. In other words, they will spread more
easily from person to person, but they will cause less damage to the host.
The vaccine focuses on the spike protein, whereas
natural immunity focuses on the entire virus.
Natural immunity — with a more diverse array of
antibodies and T-cell receptors — will provide better protection overall as it
has more targets in which to attack the virus, whereas vaccine-derived immunity
only focuses on one portion of the virus, in this case, the spike protein. Once
that portion of the virus has mutated sufficiently, the vaccine no longer is
effective.”
Real-World Data Show Most
of Infected are Fully ‘Vaccinated’
Real-world data
from areas with high COVID jab rates show the complete converse of what media,
the CDC and White House officials are telling us. In addition to the British
Technical Briefing No. 16,15 cited above, we have additional data from
Israel, Scotland, Massachusetts and Gibraltar:
•August 1, 2021, director of Israel’s Public Health
Services, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, announced half of all COVID-19 infections
were among the fully vaccinated.16 Signs of more serious disease among fully
vaccinated are also emerging, she said, particularly in those over the age of
60.
A few days
later, August 5, Dr. Kobi Haviv, director of the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem,
appeared on Channel 13 News, reporting that 95% of severely ill COVID-19
patients are fully vaccinated, and that they make up 85% to 90% of
COVID-related hospitalizations overall.17 As of August 2, 2021,
66.9% of Israelis had received at least one dose of Pfizer’s injection, which
is used exclusively in Israel; 62.2% had received two doses.18
•In Scotland, official data on hospitalizations and
deaths show 87% of those who have died from COVID-19 in the third wave that
began in early July were vaccinated.19
•A CDC investigation of an outbreak in Barnstable
County, Massachusetts, between July 6 through July 25, 2021, found 74% of those
who received a diagnosis of COVID19, and 80% of hospitalizations, were among
the fully vaccinated.20,21 Most, but not all,
had the Delta variant of the virus.
The CDC also
found that fully vaccinated individuals who contract the infection have as high
a viral load in their nasal passages as unvaccinated individuals who get
infected.22 This means the
vaccinated are just as infectious as the unvaccinated.
•In Gibraltar, which has a 99% COVID jab compliance
rate, COVID cases have risen by 2,500% since June 1, 2021.23
While those who
benefit from keeping the pandemic going would like you to cower in fear at the
thought of the Delta variant, there’s really no evidence that it’s any worse
than the original. It’s more transmissible, yes, but far less dangerous, as its
primary symptoms are that of a regular cold.
According to
Harvard and Stanford professors, the actual number of Americans dying from or
with COVID-19 are actually at an all-time low, so alarmism is uncalled for.24
And, as for
viral social media posts by doctors and nurses claiming hospitals are
overflowing with unvaccinated COVID patients, don’t believe them. Most are
bots. We’ve repeatedly seen evidence that fearmongering is being spread not by
real people but by fake accounts run by artificial intelligence. This includes
blue check accounts. Here’s a sampling of recent bot farm tweets trying to
scare everyone:25
Don’t Fear It, Just Treat
It
In closing,
remember there are several different treatment protocols for COVID-19 that
appear just as effective for variants as for the original virus, including the
following:
·
Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance’s I-MASS
Prevention and At-Home Treatment protocol
·
The FLCCC’s I-MASK+
Prevention and Early Outpatient Treatment protocol
·
The FLCCC’s I-RECOVER
management protocol for long-haul COVID-19 syndrome
·
Nebulized hydrogen peroxide for prevention and
treatment of COVID-19, as detailed in Dr. David Brownstein’s case paper26 and Dr. Thomas Levy’s
free e-book, “Rapid Virus
Recovery.” Levy believes nebulized hydrogen peroxide can also be an invaluable
strategy for combating spike protein toxicity27 because, in addition
to being a powerful antiviral, it will also augment and speed up cellular
healing, in part by improving oxygenation
