STORY AT-A-GLANCE
·
Moderna
announced they were developing three vaccines using mRNA technology for cancer,
shingles and herpes. Yet, the current mRNA shot has not proven to be
successful, nor are the long-term effects of genetic therapy known
·
Moderna
and BioNTech, the two companies that developed mRNA vaccines with emergency use
authorization in the U.S., had not produced an approved product before the
COVID injection
·
Some
authorities believe the shot is successful. Yet, it doesn't stop recipients
from getting the illness or from being hospitalized, and it has a significant
risk of adverse side effects, including permanent disability and death
·
Dr.
Robert Malone, who discovered how to prepare mRNA so human cells could
incorporate the genetic code and use it, warned the FDA that the shot could be
dangerous, and he is warning parents they should carefully consider injecting
children, which is an irreversible decision
Moderna produces one of
three COVID shots available in the U.S.1 In
November 2021, Moderna released data on third-quarter sales showing phenomenal
profits from the vaccine of $5 billion worldwide and forecasted $18 billion for
the year just from the mRNA vaccine.2 To take
advantage of this revenue stream, the company announced they are developing
three new mRNA vaccines for shingles, cancer and herpes.3
At the start of the vaccine race, the
Health and Human Services Operation Warp Speed pledged to deliver 300 million
doses of the vaccine by 2021.4 This
was just months after the pandemic had been declared in early 2020. Yet,
developing a safe and effective vaccine normally takes years and begins with
animal studies.5
In addition to the speed at which the
vaccine was developed, the shot did not fit the definition of a vaccine at that
time, as the mRNA product the pharmaceutical companies were planning does not
induce immunity in and of itself; rather, it delivers instructions to the
recipient’s cells to do that by producing their own proteins to fight the
targeted disease. So what did the CDC do? They changed the definition of
vaccine.
Vaccine Definition Changed to Cover mRNA
Shots
To fully understand the importance of the
change, it’s crucial to note that before the COVID pandemic, the definition of
a vaccine hadn’t changed much through the years. For example, according to an
archived snapshot of the CDC’s website, the definition of a vaccine February
24, 2011, was:6
“A product that produces immunity therefore protecting
the body from the disease. Vaccines are administered through needle injections,
by mouth and by aerosol.”
By July 2015, the wording had changed to:7
“A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to
a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are
usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by
mouth or sprayed in the nose.”
The wording was the same in June 20178 and likewise in June 20199 and
June 2020.10 By August 26, 2021,11 however,
the definition had changed slightly to add the words “to produce immunity”:12
“A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to
produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that
disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections but can
also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.”
Then, less than a week later, just days
after the FDA gave final approval to Pfizer’s mRNA jab, the definition changed
again — this time, significantly. The definition of a vaccine now reads:13
“A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s
immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle
injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.”
Notice that the words “protecting the
person from disease” is now taken out, so the definition now says that a
vaccine is to “stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” Isn’t
that just what a natural infection does? So, if a vaccine no longer protects
you from disease or gives you immunity from it, but merely stimulates your
immune response, why do you need the so-called “vaccine” — especially since you
can still get the disease it’s supposedly stimulating a response to?
As has been made obvious in the past
months, the shot developed to “stimulate” the body's immune response against
COVID-19 does not effectively reduce a person's ability to catch the virus or
to transmit the virus.14,15 According to the CDC, all the shot does is supposedly keep you
from getting a more severe case of the virus.
However, data16 and
whistleblowers17 reveal people who have been vaccinated are still
hospitalized with COVID-19 and in some areas at rates that are higher than
those who are unvaccinated. In other words, the mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2
does not appear to effectively protect you from or fight against the virus.
This is important to note since Moderna
recently announced they would be producing three new vaccines using the same
technology to fight against shingles, cancer and herpes. Isn't it reasonable to
expect that taxpayers will pay millions of dollars and see the same results?
One-Trick Pony Moderna Announces Three New
Vaccines
In the world of science, Moderna’s
announcement may raise a red flag. The company is 10 years old with billions in
market valuation,18 but until their COVID-19 vaccine, they had no
approved products.
The company was founded by two scientists
and a venture capitalist who recognized the commercial potential of mRNA as a
drug delivery technology. In November 2020, Stat News19 reported that despite having not produced a single product, the
company had made the founders hundreds of millions of dollars.
Originally, modified mRNA was thought to
hold the key to a new source of embryonic stem cells that researchers planned
to use to treat anything from Parkinson's disease to spinal cord injuries.
Using modified mRNA, they hope to sidestep the controversy of using stem cells
from aborted fetuses.
The promise hinged on safe dosing, but in
animal studies scientists ran into a now-familiar problem with the mRNA doses.
The therapy triggered dangerous immune reactions, yet the lower doses were too
weak to show benefit.
It was just 42 days after the genetic code
for SARS-CoV-2 was released that Moderna was set to deliver a box of a few
hundred vials of the experimental vaccine to the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). At this point, they had still not overcome the
abnormal immune responses in animal studies using the novel genetic therapy.
Yet, they were the first to deliver drug
vials for human clinical trials. Stat News reports that a May 18, 2020, Moderna
press release claimed they had positive interim clinical data from eight
volunteers. But, they did not provide any raw data to scientists. Despite this,
their share price rose 20% in one day, the FDA approved an emergency use
authorization for the drug and the rest is history.
A mere one year later, Moderna is still
working at warp speed, now announcing that they are developing three new
vaccines based on the same mRNA technology that, so far, doesn’t appear to stop
disease or prevent the spread of it.
The vaccines are for cancer, shingles and
herpes.20 Pfizer has an mRNA shingles vaccine they expect
to have in clinical trials sometime after July 2022. Pfizer's partner in the
mRNA vaccine race is BioNTech, a company with a similar history to Moderna,
having produced no approved drugs before they teamed up with Pfizer — which in
2009 was hit with the largest health care fraud settlement in the history of
the U.S. Department of Justice21 — to
produce the COVID-19 shot.
How Is ‘Success’ Measured for mRNA
Vaccines?
NewsMax reports, “The success of COVID-19
vaccines based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology from Moderna and rival Pfizer
has prompted efforts to use the novel technology in other vaccines and
therapeutics targeted at hard-to-treat diseases.”22
Considering the announcement of the
development of three new vaccines by Moderna, and Pfizer's goal of clinical
trials by the second half of 2022, the question must be asked, how is the
success of the mRNA vaccine being measured?
As I discussed above, the current vaccine
for COVID-19 does not stop recipients from getting the illness. It also does
not stop recipients from being hospitalized for the illness, and the CDC warns
that those who have been vaccinated can still transmit the illness.
Yet, even if the vaccine only had a
minimal effect on reducing illness or severity of illness, you have to consider
the adverse side effects that are being reported by the hundreds of thousands
to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
As of February 11, 2022,23 the system had logged over 1.1 million reports, which include
23,990 deaths, 43,476 people who have been permanently disabled, 33,590
diagnoses of myocarditis or pericarditis and 12,452 diagnoses of shingles.
Considering the high number of individuals
who have developed significant adverse events or have died in the days and
weeks after receiving an mRNA shot, you have to wonder what the interaction
between two or three different types of mRNA vaccines will be within the
complex environment in the human body.
mRNA Scientist Warns of Vaccine Dangers
In 1987,24 Dr.
Robert Malone mixed mRNA with drops of fat and found that human cells exposed
to this soup absorbed the mRNA and created proteins based on the genetic code
in the RNA. At the time, Malone was a graduate student at the Salk Institute.
Recognizing that this discovery could very well have some far-reaching
potential, he jotted down his notes and then signed and dated them.
In early 1988 Malone had another lab
member sign the notes as well. Over 30 years later, this discovery was the
platform on which BioNTech and Moderna were founded. Yet, in the past year, as
Malone has spoken out against the COVID-19 vaccine, left-leaning web
“encyclopedia” Wikipedia scrubbed his name from the history of the technology.25
Subsequently, a web search for who
invented the mRNA technology returns a Wikipedia page that acknowledges he had
some contribution to the research but focuses on his promotion of
“misinformation about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.”26 In other words, Malone has spoken out about the dangers of the
shot despite efforts to keep him from getting credit for his work, and much
more.
As Malone explained in an interview on the
Dark Horse podcast,27 it was many months ago that he warned the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration that the spike protein — which the COVID-19
“vaccines” instruct your cells to make — could be dangerous. The FDA dismissed
his concerns, saying they did not believe the spike protein was biologically
active, and that vaccine makers designed the injections so the spike protein
would stick and not float about freely.
Well, they were wrong on both accounts.
It’s since been well-established that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein gets free,
and that it is biologically active and causes severe problems. It is
responsible for the most severe effects seen in COVID-19, such as bleeding
disorders, blood clots throughout the body and heart problems.
These are the same problems we now see in
a staggering number of people who have received one or two shots of COVID-19
“vaccine.” For more in-depth information about how the spike protein causes
these issues, please see my interview on BitChute with Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D.,
and Judy Mikovits, Ph.D.28 In the months after the shot was released,
Malone characterized the research and development of the shot, writing:29
“... if I were to propose a clinical trial involving
children and entice participation by giving out ice cream to those willing to
participate, any institutional human subjects safety board (IRB) in the United
States would reject that protocol.
If I were to propose a clinical research protocol
wherein the population of a geographic region would lose personal liberties
unless 70% of the population participated in my study, once again, that
protocol would be rejected by any US IRB based on coercion of subject
participation. No coercion to participate in the study is allowed.
In human subject clinical research, in most countries
of the world this is considered a bright line that cannot be crossed. So, now
we are told to waive that requirement without even so much as open public
discussion being allowed? In conclusion, I hope that you will join me; stop to
take a moment and consider for yourself what is going on. The logic seems clear
to me.”
Molecular mimicry may be one of the
reasons why mRNA COVID-19 injections are causing autoimmune conditions.30 It occurs when similarities between different antigens confuse the
immune system.
"Indeed, antibodies against the spike
protein S1 of SARS-CoV-2 had a high affinity against some human tissue
proteins," researchers wrote in the Journal of Autoimmunity.31 "As vaccine mRNA codes the same viral protein, they can
trigger autoimmune diseases in predisposed patients."
Malone’s Warning to Parents
In an interview with WND,32 Malone discussed two grassroots projects he’s involved with. The
first is the Unity Project, which opposes vaccine mandates, and the second is
the International Alliance of Physicians and Medical Scientists, launched by
the Global COVID Summit.33
Malone also highlighted the second
Physicians Declaration34 by the International Alliance of Physicians and
Medical Scientists, dated October 29, 2021, in an article for the Defender.35
The declaration36 has been signed by more than 17,000 doctors and scientists and
states that “healthy children shall not be subjected to forced vaccination” as
their clinical risk from SARS-CoV-2 infection is negligible and long-term
safety of the shots cannot be determined prior to such policies being enacted.
Not only are children at high risk for
severe adverse events, but having healthy, unvaccinated children in the
population is crucial to achieving herd immunity. The declaration also demands
that health agencies and institutions “cease interfering with physicians
treating individual patients.”
In the article,37 Malone also warned parents that the decision to inject their
children is "irreversible," and that they need to be aware of
"the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the
mRNA vaccine technology I created." Here’s an excerpt from that written
warning:38
“Before you inject your child — a decision that is
irreversible — I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic
vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created.
There are three issues parents need to understand: The
first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This
gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins
often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including:
•Their brain
and nervous system.
•Their heart
and blood vessels, including blood clots.
•Their
reproductive system.
•This vaccine
can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system.
The most alarming point about this is that once these
damages have occurred, they are irreparable:
•You can’t fix
the lesions within their brain.
•You can’t
repair heart tissue scarring.
•You can’t
repair a genetically reset immune system.
•This vaccine
can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your
family.
The second thing you need to know about is the fact
that this novel technology has not been adequately tested. We need at least 5
years of testing/research before we can really understand the risks. Harms and
risks from new medicines often become revealed many years later.”
It is crucial to pay attention to the
warnings and the growing list of people who have experienced adverse effects as
Big Pharma starts rolling out new mRNA shots. Although Moderna has announced
three new mRNA shots coming, this is only the beginning of how pharmaceutical
companies will take advantage of technology to line their profit margins while
indemnified39 and without regard to human health.
It should come as no surprise that the
drugs under development using mRNA technology are being developed as vaccines
since the companies will also likely be given the same protection against
criminal and civil action as they have for the COVID-19 shot.
