Pfizer has asked a federal court to let it intervene in a high-profile case that has seen U.S. drug regulators try to slow-walk disclosure of data on Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
Pfizer says it supports disclosing the data but wants to ensure that information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is not “disclosed inappropriately.”
astoundingly, the FDA itself is supporting this.
their lawyers are supporting this.
this is a federal agency whose ostensible job is to safeguard your health and to ensure the safety and efficacy of the drugs you use.
this is the agency that has rushed programs of unprecedented size through with outlandishly little data, incredible opacity, and allowed on an emergency basis the fastest drug rollout in human history.
when asked for the data, they requested 75 years to provide it.
The FDA later asked a judge to give it 75 years, but the judge rejected the request and ordered the regulator to produce 55,000 pages a month, which would give it about eight months to fully disclose the records.
the failure of these vaccines to generate sterilizing immunity and stop spread has been astonishing. their side effect profile is magnitudes worse than any other ever approved. the very math and definitions that underpinned their studies and underpins their public health reporting to this day was and remains a bayesian rig job that all by itself can make harm and immunosuppression look like vaccine efficacy.
and despite all this, the FDA whose job it allegedly is to protect we the people from predation by unscrupulous food and drug companies is seeking to hide the data, not to free it.
all bureaucracies ultimately evolve to become their own primary constituencies. they serve themselves and their institutional benefit first and foremost.
well, at least until they become completely captured. then the cops join the criminals. and make no mistake, the FDA has been captured. i have never seen anything remotely like the last two years. the top vaccine people quit in disgust.
and now the FDA are siding with pfizer and inviting them in to help in the cover up.
they are protecting their own misbehavior in service of big pharma. this is not the role they were supposed to play and it looks doubly bad for them given the way that gottleib quit in mid term to join the pfizer board of directors. this is a revolving door that would make even wall street and the federal reserve blush.
the FDA have forgotten what their job is.
they have forgotten whom they are supposed to serve and they are lining up to line their pockets instead.
we need the courts to step in and stop this evidence tampering and to appoint some impartial ombudsman to oversee it.
letting pfizer control the redaction of these documents is like letting the fox commission investigate the henhouse murders.
we’re going to get back something that looks like this:
and that is not what we need.
we need a full and frank forensic accounting from end to end of what was known, what was done, and what all the outcomes were including and especially the ones the dropped from the study due to definitional manipulation.
this is a huge issue affecting 100’s of millions of people.
According to our leaders, not only do we need a massive cover-up for the cover-up, we need less information. Berenson sent a warning this morning about Substack now being under pressure. The WaPo is publishing an article about how Substack is a major outlet of misinformation that is tearing the world apart. Substack is first on the list, (if you don't count the already censored Google, FB, IG, You Tube, Parler, etc.) -the powers that be will shake them down until they are sawdust. Then Telegram, and the lesser threats of NY Post and Daily Mail. Taking down the media is priority number one.
Also, Bari Weiss, who I once liked, posted her Substack this morning, stating that the vaccines "have been literal lifesavers" and that "[d]espite the conspiracy theories in some corners of the web or on Fox News, there is simply zero evidence that they are killing people; that they are harming people in large numbers; or that this is all some malicious plot by Big Pharma. There is overwhelming proof that these vaccines prevent serious illness." (But I ask again, where is that?)
Which I find ironic given the fact that she is a staunch, if not maniacal, supporter of Jews and Israel, which is now suffering terribly as a result of too many vaccines. So fuck Bari Weiss, and more to the point, shame on her.
Bad Cat, I hope you keep a list of email addresses from your Substack following, just in case.
Postscript: I failed to mention that 95% of the comments to Bari directly disagreed with her stance on vaccines and questioned her journalistic integrity, rightly so.
Gab will remain free... they have their own infrastructure and the more traffic and money they get, the more they build out to add features and protect free speech.
Gab is cumbersome but they continue to work on it as they attempt to improve it. At least it's free speech, much to the amazement of those who rarely see racial epithets and slurs being hurled about yet encounter them on Gab. I simply block those people; they aren't worth my time. We have REAL problems, not phony racial prejudices that have no business being aired anywhere, but especially not in public.
Fans of data hoarding and backup also have troves at Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Can't say if all of yours is in there, but betcha a nickel it's virtually oodles! :~)
See something save something & get a toolbar button to redirect 404 Not Found to Wayback IF someone saved it when they saw it. :~)
Lot's of folks I know use that archive but it was introduced to me like 2014. I've been saving at Wayback since 2002ish.. none of my content has ever gone missing. It's not because what has value to me isn't toxic. There is no real left or right it's all for show and truth does not have a political party.
Over the years folks repeat that they heard of some editing, never has anyone given an example of what vanished. Seems to me there's content that becomes popular or controversial and folks go to find a copy when it's deleted from a live platform. When it's not at Wayback they cry foul.
Fun fact, folks are inconsistent at best about saving. Perfect example as the truck convoy rolls into Ottawa & there's a Trudeau tweet from 2020 asking Canadians to support the truckers who kept rolling the whole pandemic.
Guess what? First capture is today, by me. If Justin Trudeau deleted that tweet legions would race to Wayback, find none and the rumors would fly.
If one attempts to bring some intellectual honesty to this debate, things get complicated very quickly. But "zero" evidence of vax deaths? - she is unaware of VAERS? To use her word: she is "simply" dishonest; we can disregard any future contributions from her.
=
I was going to mention that WaPo article; the writer is also very grumpy that SubStack is "making millions" (not sure that is true); in any case, he may remember when making money was the point of publishing the WaPo - no longer. It is a service provided by it's wealthy owner and payback for the position he enjoys.
Yes. Another word for that is "coward." I think she has unexpectedly encountered fame/fortune after her unpleasant departure from the NYT, which must have felt like a career-ender for her at the time. Now she will tread very lightly to hold on to her new-found status, lest she be cast away a second time. But this tack is a non-starter for any real journalist. I went from loving her podcast to feeling disgusted by her.
Yes, but I’m glad she’s giving a platform to folks like AJ Kay and David Zweig. These are great people who have been pushing back effectively on this terrible assault on reason and liberty and the rights of children.
That was weird, but I tend trust Alex and his motives even if he makes mistakes. Then a lab mouse pointed me to an exchange between David Wiseman and Malone - who did happen to have a favored seat there in the R Johnson hearing. Made me go hmmm. But Malone has parceled out a lot of valuable info so I’ll keep paying listening to both.
I do not normally "knee-jerk" like that, but there is *no* way to excuse it. It went against "the entire body of his work" to do so. The same with Bari. It is not possible that she would not have (by now!) availed herself of the same information those of us here have. Just reading Steve Kirsch would have closed it. Full disclosure of medical knowledge: left-hip replacement, pacemaker, and C3-C6 ACDF. :-)
I read that post by Bari Weiss and proceeded to unsubscribe. Anything that starts with "the c19 vaccines were miracles" is BS and not worth my time. What a shame!
Fun fact: there's an old version of that page where the phrase "the vaccines are nothing short of miracles" was followed by "now please let my family go."
I looked for her substack because I wanted to read the comments, but I couldn't find the post. Maybe it was for subscribers only, or did she delete it?
Bari Weiss is a nit wit who speaks with authority on subjects she knows nothing about. In a chat with Joe Rogan she flaunted her ignorance and arrogance.
I dumped Bari about 4 months ago. It was abundantly clear she's an opportunist in revolutionary clothing and doesn't hold a consistent position on anything that doesn't build her following.
Working for the New York Times seems to implant this kind of spike protein in your brain to think like a 15- year old girl trying to build a Facebook "following" that lingers after you leave.
Even Berenson is desperate to get his blue check and repeatedly throws the substack readers that pay his mortgage under the bus when he fears they won't play well with his old woke journo buddies who he desperately wants to invite him back into the treehouse.
You're right about Berenson too but as others have pointed out here in the comments, he still produces some great product. I'll put up with him for that...for now.
We seem to be forever running from "them" and toward the next independent platform that resists censoring. TPTB are relentless in their efforts to stifle independent and contrarian thought. At some point, decentralization may be the only answer, otherwise known as federation.
The truth is nuanced--they did do some temporary good with regard to prior variants and for some cross sections of Covid sufferers. But if she wants to grab that ring she needs to come clean about the ample evidence that VE for Omicron does seem--to any reasonable person--to be negative. Can the public handle such ambivalence? If it can't then we don't have a society, we have pigeons that can be led anywhere. She should know that.
How do you know that? Where is there any real data showing these vaxxes helped anyone? For the majority of 2021, most people were not "fully vaccinated," especially when you considered fully vaxxed = 2 shots + 14 days. So most people dying were "unvaxxed." Couple that with the absence of tracking the fully vaxxed, you again get skewed numbers. Now the fully vaxxed are dying at higher rates than the unvaxxed and it's not from Omicron. And let's not forget, even the fully vaxxed and boosted had a 99%+ recovery rate from the get-go.
The only people who profess to have data that these vaxxes are extraordinarily effective are Pfizer and Moderna, and they are fighting tooth and nail to hide that data from us. I personally don't believe they do anything at all. Real truth (as opposed to negotiated truth) is rarely nuanced.
I also have noticed this unsupportable talking point becoming increasingly ubiquitous on threads. As you said , the majority don't even know they have it . With the corrupted control group they eliminated , among the many " irregularities" of the development
" trials" , it is ridiculous to claim such " knowledge".
Simply producing an inflammation of ONE TYPE of our many immune cells , is not and will never be as efficacious as our innate , multi layered natural system .
In fact , it appears to " hold open the door" of the cell to more easily allow the virus in .
The single protein targeted ensured that mutation would quickly eliminate any PURPORTED benefit . The other proteins just add to the " fun". Synctin targeting by including that protein , PLUS forcing it on pregnant and young women and children - what could go wrong?
Both Berenson and Gato (and several pieces of data I've read) seem to suggest a brief, comparative benefit in serious cases. But that does not warrant a mandate of any kind. I do suspect if the mnra vaxes didn't work at all we'd know it. But maybe you're right, maybe not. In any event they are a relic now.
I still like Bari. I, too, disagree with her stance on vaccines but I don't think she's being malicious -- she hasn't read what we have, and she is probably like Alex Berenson is on Ivermectin (he hasn't seen data to convince him yet.) I disagree with Alex on known therapeutics being suppressed, but I still think he's a solid journalist and I think Bari is, too. I am hoping that as she learns more about what's happening (ie adverse reactions) that she'll come around as well. It's going to take personal stories followed by data to convince her, IMO.
I hadn’t ever heard of her until this week. Her journey reflects mine in some ways and I like many things she says, though not all obviously. Sometimes I wish I had used my “insiders position” more wisely. Now that I am suddenly an outsider no one listens to me anymore. Maybe she is smarter about retaining any clout she has to get important information to the masses?
I read a lot of people who I don't agree with on everything, but who I think make good arguments or they're coming from a good heart. It keeps me grounded in not only what others think and WHY they think it, but also helps me defend my own positions. I rarely change my mind about something, but there are times when seeing a nuanced argument helps me be a kinder, more compassionate person. I disagree with some of Bari's arguments, but I can respect that she is pro-vaccine while also being anti-mandate. I sincerely hope that she comes around, but she only will if our side debates and speaks with genuine kindness and respect, not if we yell and scream and tell her to go to hell. I also respect that she is willing to have conversations with people, in public, that she disagrees with (like Ben Shapiro.) I like when people of different views engage in civil discourse. It makes society better. IMO.
I think rather focusing on a person's positions (which oscillate constantly and which will never align 100% with our own) we are better served by studying their process. Do they have a genuinely true heart and inquisitive mind? Are they swayed by groupthink or other social pressures? Are they willing to go it alone? Do they believe in the sanctity of individuals who retain their self determination (but are willing to act in sync when circumstances warrant it) or do they view individuals as factotums of the State to be used in pursuit of the "collective good"? As a lesbian and liberal, Bari Weiss exists in her own unique brand of fishbowl. In it are pressures and influences, fears and goals which you or I could never fully be privy to. Helps to keep that in mind.
If you read 'The fourth turning' by Howe and Strauss from the 1990's you will see this is the moment people wake up and force change in society. This was a book I read 2yrs ago and gave me comfort in knowing that things had to get bad...really bad before people finally woke up to what happened around them whilst they watched the Kardassian's in a stupor. The reason I kept my sanity was this book. If you read any book in the future and want to understand what is going on right now...read it and spread the word. Unfortunately this has to happen in order to rebuild. We need everyone to see the man behind the curtain and he is a very small man indeed.
Great to hear. Just pass along all the information you might glean from it. People need to know we are not careening off of a cliff. This HAS to happen for the world to begin anew again. It has happened countless times throughout history as you will find out when you are reading.
Health care providers are under threat. It all comes down to $$$. Medicare funding, Medical licenses being revoked, reimbursement $$ are higher for Covid Dx and death. And as a healthcare professional myself, I can tell you, we are all exhausted. First we were essential and heroes, then we were punished and vaccine mandated, all while we treated wave after wave of very ill patients. Lena, I share your loss of trust in the health care system, but it has been under attack for 30 years (the length of my career) to transition to single-payer. No choice and no care. Thanks for still trying to hold onto a shred of belief in our exceptional health care delivery system. We were grand! But now, we are captured by the government $$$.
I am a RN. And the loss of faith in this system, which I admit I had child like faith in, has crushed my soul. I cry over this because it was a precious thing we had. I cherished it and always wanted us to strive for what was right, at least most of the time.
It is hard to go to work and not recognize people you have worked with for years.
Oh goodness, Lena. Yes, I completely understand. Our mission to care for people was the most precious thing we honored, but even my own doctor has said he is under threat of losing his medical license. How do you fight that? By becoming part of the the alternate economy, but I don't know many who are willing to walk away from a 401K, benefits or employer, in order to live our values, which is why I am still employed by my big, national, EVIL employer. Who knows for how long, but for now I choose to stay. Hugs across the miles! :)
I am hoping one of the silver linings from all of this is that alternative care models emerge. What we have is not working well. It feels suffocating. Not helpful.
Lawyer Aaron Siri, whose firm is involved in this case, wrote about this on his Substack. Super fun footnote to his firm's opposition is this: "Reflecting the issues with this product, the FDA failed to send a representative to a federal court hearing in this matter on December 14th because of the 'FDA’s protocols' regarding COVID-19. Meaning, despite the FDA’s claim the vaccine is 'effective,' the FDA is apparently still scared to send a representative to the hearing. Its actions speak volumes and cast serious doubt on its words."
that was a great update, I saw that yesterday. I loved his math on pages per day, and about going through the pages at a preschool reading pace, and wondered what would even need redaction, if they are running an appropriate trial, no PHI should have been submitted and the data should be available as is.
Did you guys see one of the top comments about a software called eDiscovery that can be used to anonimize all this Pfizer data, inluding human post-check, in like few days tops?
Gato, can you make your logo available in some printed form? I just want to put it on my fridge to keep me cheered up. But I'd buy a hat too. or a bumpersticker. or something. Thank you.
We need ALL THE PEOPLE to say NO NO NO !!!! We will not take ANY of your products (vaccines or otherwise) until you have provided FULL DISCLOSURE.
No more boosters
No more to kids (pull them from schools if necessary)
Boycott any Pfizer products on the market: Advil, Bextra, Celebrex, Diflucan, Lyrica, Robitussin and Viagra, Chapstick -- buy the products of their competitors instead - or no name brand
This is a criminal entity and needs to be treated as such.
Here's another interesting article that questions the vaccines safety. Four chemistry professors sent a list of questions to BioNTech founder Ugur Sahin. They are concerned about possible quality issues with the vaccine.
Wow I just finished reading that article. What a bomb that is. From the known ingredients 2 are not allowed in or even ON human bodies. The serum should be white but sometimes is has a grey tone, the scientists want to know how come. They also state that lots of bad reactions to the jabs happen within such a short time, that they suspect toxic ingredients rather than the working ingredient to be the culprit.... and so on and so on. What a great article
A thought experiment: the mRNA product is produced by in vitro transcription, enzymes in a bioreactor that removes some of the normal error checking process present in whole cells. As such, the copy error rate is something like 1 in 1,000,000 bases, which seems good. However, the Pfizer mRNA is 4284 bases long, which means about 1 in 250 copies will contain an error. This still doesn't seem bad for a drug - 99.4% pure! - but for two things: one, the mRNA makes many copies of its target protein in the cell, and two, there are roughly 10 trillion strands of the mRNA in a 100ug "dose". So you could have up to 40 billion bad mRNA's each making dozens of bad proteins ... this certainly starts to line up with the observed adverse event rates. (Hope this is their line of thinking, I don't read German!)
that is in the article too. The scientist wonder how such large batches can have a decent quality control, that some batches seem to differ from others... my german is okay but it is quite a bit to translate LOL
"After all, scientists are dealing with reports of side effects. They are worried because there are apparently different side effects with different batch numbers."
"Some side effects occur quickly after vaccination and much faster than one would expect if this were related to the formation of the spike protein. Here, a toxic or allergic reaction would be more likely, which could be narrowed down by further studies on the ingredients."
Vaccine toxicity (occurance of adverse effects) analysis by batch number, some batches cause 200x as many adverse effects as other batches:
Also, the toxicity level differences and batch releases schedule (timing-wise as well as geographically - within US states but also US vs Europe) are not random but seem thoroughly planned, not only within one vaccine brand but between all 4 brands together:
I always assume that many research scientist/docs have a tendency toward Asperger's like traits , which can sometimes involve a hyperfocus on their " area of specialty" , which doesn't necessarily translate to a more synergistic awareness of real world outcomes/ current events.
Also , many derive a sense of prestige and superiority complex from their titles , which came from willingness to regurgitate the version espoused by the authority figure " teaching". Without question , unfortunately. It's tough to climb off a high horse , even if you are now gaining perspective.
I hope the court can stop them or the data may be gone forever. I wish someone in the FDA would have a coming to Jesus conversion and speak the truth. Where are the whistleblowers when we need them? Oh, wait, we have them (DOD whistleblowers) but they, too, are being silenced because the media won't report on it.
Potential whistleblowers have been purged long ago. What you are seeing now in the military (in the open) was already done when BO was in office. The purge is almost complete.
I have several nurses in the family. My cousin told me the nurses association sent out a letter saying if any nurse spoke publicly about anything that contradicts the public health guidelines that they could have their license pulled. She isn't vaccinated because her hospital hasn't mandated it (yet) and she told me she'll quit first after what she's seen. She's an ER nurse with more than 20 years experience. We're losing good people over this. My SIL is a trauma nurse and got the J&J vaccine (even though she had a documented 2020 case of COVID) because of the mandate at her hospital because she's only 5 years from retirement and she didn't want to lose her benefits (plus wouldn't be able to get another job in her city because of the mandates.) Then, she got COVID again. And she's not allowed to talk about vaccines, etc, either.
I get the impression the FDA, when it believes it has a pandemic on its hands, essentially allows itself to go into "state of war" conditions where deceit is not only allowed, but encouraged. Malone talked about this -- that any information that increases vaccine hesitancy can be suppressed even if it's true. The other part of "war time" conditions is that the elites allow their own predetermined level of collateral casualty. Your kid was paralyzed by the clot shot? "Thank you for serving your country. (Without the rights of a wounded veteran, of course).
In terms of that collateral damage question: we all know this vaccine has created far more death and injury than any other, but it's also been mandated in some quarters. What is the _rate_ of casualty for this vaccine versus previous vaccines?
Indeed war. Them against us. In my circle, we have taken to speaking about "the war" - we all know what we're talking about.
There was some pandemic planning/scenario creating document produced by Johns Hopkins - circa 2012 (I recall) - that had the President addressing the nation after a very large number of vax deaths and speaking to families who has lost loved ones in - essentially - just those terms: "Thank you for serving your country".
I mean, at least when you send a soldier to war, you don't tell him, "the battlefield experience is extremely safe." We're telling 12 year olds something like "you have almost no chance of getting sick or dying from this virus, and we won't even tell you what the vaccine's injury/death risk is. Just do it for old people, kay?"
Rather, we're telling 12 year olds: "be afraid, wear a mask, you need a jab for a disease that could kill you and the jab is very, very safe."
When in truth, it's: "You have no chance of getting this disease, much less dying from it. We're giving you a jab for it and we have NO IDEA how dangerous the side effects may be."
I really would like to know what they consider to be acceptable casualty levels. If the virus itself takes out, say, 0.18% of the population, would they plan for vaccine casualties of -- what? -- 0.0018% of the people who take it? I think _someone_ has to be making a calculation of this sort somewhere. Right?
I'd like to see that too but we know at the very least that Pfizer is not interested in adding any illumination and I personally haven't trusted the CDC in a long time.
OMG, absolutely inappropriate to allow Pfizer to “help” redact their own documents. They will redact anything that discloses how dangerous the jabs are! If the fda needs help, hire an independent panel to do the work.
Most, if not all, regulatory agencies have been defanged by lobbying and the revolving door and general pro-corporatist political pressure (the EPA springs to mind), but to my knowledge, the FDA is the only one that is also DIRECTLY funded by the industry it purports to 'regulate'*. The CDC, in its turn, accepts multimillion-$ "gifts," strings and all, from its lazily overseen industries., AND HOLDS PATENTS in that same industry (so, in that particular sphere, the CDC actually IS the industry). The CDC/FDA also may be the only agencies that allow lawyered-up behemoth monopolies to run their own studies and sequester the resulting data. Explains a lot, I think.
*About 45% of the FDA's budget, or $2.7 billion, comes from "industry user fees ( = legal bribes)"
Several months ago, at a seminar or whatnot, Charlie Kirk was asked (I paraphrase), "What would have to happen for us to reach the point for which the Founders included the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights?"
Charlie deflected the question, instead calling for all peaceful means.
Yeah, that's great, Charlie, as far as it goes. But there came a point when our forebears realized that dumping tea in Boston Harbor just wasn't gonna get the job done.
Pfizer isn't going anywhere no matter what they find. It's happened before, it will happen again. Too many stakeholders with too much at stake to take them down, everyone in the gov knows this; that's why they are helping them hide.
For years many of us have called the FDA the "Federal Death Authority" for erecting barriers to entry that are insurmountable to all but the large, favored few big pharma companies, thus slowing development to a crawl and causing the deaths of countless people.
I have friends in the medical device business that tell me that it takes at least $100 million to get a new device through the bureaucracy and to market, making it all but impossible for disrupting, upstart companies to improve everyone's lives like in the computer/internet space.
And, of course and as usual, the founding story of the FDA and its predecessors, to protect people from "snake oil" and such, is complete mythology.
Private rating and certification agencies, like UL, would not be subject to regulatory capture and bureaucratic mission creep, and instead would have an economic incentive to stay neutral and accurate lest its competitors outshine it.
The FDA should have been abolished decades ago, and it certainly should be now.
I remember reading about a company that produced a gel filled pad that could be placed across a breast as a woman ran her fingers over it to check for lumps. The gel filled pad reduced finger friction and made any lumps more easily felt.
The FDA demanded that the pads be considered a medical device and required the company to obtain FDA approval to sell them. Then they denied approval.
What astonishes me is that this article, with the damning links, and countless others like it, have ZERO impact on this dispelling the Diabolical Disorientation happening right before our eyes!
The "errors" and blunders ALWAYS go in ONE direction: in favor of Bigger Gov't, Pfizer & Company, and Depotism & Cruelty.
Media, Educational System, Child Rearing System, Feminist Thought, Collectivist Outlets (most Catholic Churches, the Pope himself, NGOs that depend on government financing, think tanks)--they all put us here. Take away small, independent organizational structures and substitute them with the prior list and this is what you get.
This is how you turn half the country into conspiracy theorists. This is like the Warren Commission. Only thing left is to stack the commission with Fauci and some Pfizer reps to adjudicate a magic bullet (aka vaxx) theory.
Has any authoritarian regime ever been reasoned out of power? I'm no history buff, but I don't remember seriously bad actors changing their ways in the face of overwhelming evidence or logical discussion of their malfeasance. This is the uncomfortable fact that we are avoiding because ". . .mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." And we all know how that declaration ended. So we hope and pray that maybe the courts, maybe the November elections, maybe Omicron, maybe legal actions, maybe an act of God.
Yep. It's not going to just...End. Maybe if there was a huge asteroid hit (recently we had a 'near miss' of 7 million KM or something...) or there were multiple massive earthquakes or the sea suddenly rose 50 feet overnight it might. But these are not highly realistic options in the next few weeks/months.
People DO like to suffer. They think they're a slave-race or something and they were BORN to suffer. At least that's my take on it. Nothing else makes sense!
At least in the USA you guys home-school 11% of students. Here in The Land of Oz we home-school about 0.7% of students. How will a country so tethered to society like Australia ever host a revolution?! Maybe I should move countries...
People just need to wake up - but they're not. What to do...? Just watch the horror unfolding and try to find a bunker to hide out in for a few years...? :-\
I'll say one thing for Gates: He found out early that the best way to get customers was to go to the government and have them make his product the standard.
The rot goes so deep and the vax obsession is quite astounding. I was just reading a supposedly, proper scientific article discussing long-term immunity to sars cov2. In the initial paragraph it recommended that naturally-infected and recovered get vaccinated (for unclarified reasons) yet in the same article clearly demonstrated that natural infection is both broader and longer lasting than the 'vaccines' (transfections). Like anyone who's been reading about basic immunology over the last year would already know. But seriously, they can't let these bloody transfections go. They're obsessed with these shots and antibody levels. It's their 'precious' and must be protected at all costs, to hell with everything else. This FDA move is yet another example of that.
The courts have been doing Ok thus far haven't they? I mean they did ask for a faster release. But it would funny to see a pfizer logo on the corner of the judges bench
This is BULLSHIT! I used to respect the FDA but no more. I spent nearly four decades working in preclinical pharmaceutical research. But now I am glad I am no longer a part of it, because I would have a hard time looking in the mirror. 75 years to release documents? What are they hiding? What are they thinking of? This is not the same industry I spent most of my life working in.
The FDA flying monkeys want to secure a job with Big Pharma after they leave their jobs at the FDA. Totally corrupted, totally compromised. Abolish the FDA, CDC, etc., and DONT start over! Americans will be healthier.
They're afraid of facing criminal prosecution and hoping to put it off until most of us are dead. But they're fools to want to because if they don't face judgment for their crimes against humanity in courts of law, they will eventually face rough justice at the hands of humanity, and it won't be pretty.
You do have to ask: Where is the American Medical Association? Where is the American Academy of Pediatrics? My family doc is terrific, but what has become of the professional organizations? Why aren't they demanding disclosure?
They are doing the opposite! They are stripping renown and respected doctors of their licenses, ordering the retraction of published, peer-reviewed studies --all of which go against the narrative. They are Hitler's henchmen in this scenario.
Sooner or later, someone in some lab in a different country than the US, will tae a long hard look at what's in that shot. Then they will do some tests of their own. And then the cat will be out of the bag anyway.
I mean, it's not as if the US presidents (with one recent exception) has been making friends around the world the past 20 yeras, is it? There's an incredible amount of bile out there, not against the people(s) of the USA but against the [redacted] on top.
China, perhaps if tensions concerning Taiwan can't be solved with Biden appeasing Xi. Or Russia. Remember the time a president 'drew a red line' in the sand before Putin? Remember what Putin did immediately after that? Or Iran, no lost love there. Or some other nation with a bone to pick.
Just speculating of course but all it takes is one lab in a nation that has zero reason to fear the US or comply with the shenanigans of US businesses.
Gato, it ain't just generation. Transmission and distribution are a mess too. 'Deregulation?' What a lie. More rules now than ever, and rules are the health of the bureaucrat. I've been working in this industry since the mid-80s (BS Electrical Engineering, MBA, retired Professional Engineer and Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the world's largest professional association) -- so I know of what I speak.
Redaction is routinely done for clinical trial data to protect against the accidental release of information that might identify participants.
I don't seek to defend Pfizer's attempts to keep their data out of the public domain, but this is actually a genuine issue - let me give you an example from a report I worked on some time ago. Female actress found dead by swimming pool at Hollywood mansion with over 20 OTC drugs in her system. Cause of death not established at time of report.
I am not well up on Hollywood actresses but immediately knew who it was.
Remember, any release of this data at all is quite a recent initiative. The agencies have also chosen the most cumbersome and challenging system you could imagine. Instead of wholesale redaction of CSR Section 16 listings and patient narratives (and equivalents from the submission dossiers), everything has to be released, but with painstaking removal of any individual patient potentially identifying information.
Some sponsors take pro-active approaches to this, for example in listings giving subject ages by range in 5-year intervals. I understand and support the desire for public availability of data but this reduces the scientific value of the study (85 years is very different to 90 years in medicine). A different approach is needed, and one that wouldn't take so much time, one that balances the public interest in accessible clinical trial data and the public interest in people not being put off participation in clincial trials because of potential publication and identification of sensitive medical information.
When the media reports on this story they set an anchor in the reader's mind of pages of "documents" being collected and released. The reader envisions a search of file cabinets from across the organization. And then the media describes reading, xeroxing and redacting of these "documents" as a manual time consuming process.
I doubt that there are large numbers of "documents" in use at all. I believe it's much more likely that the vast majority of the data exists in various databases on email and chat servers and in formats like Word and PowerPoint.
All of these systems and formats are effeciently searched, scraped and organized using e-discovery software. And intelligent highly configurable automatic redaction is a part of that process in most all cases.
When I worked in legal discovery 25 years ago, you might have been able to mislead a judge into believing that the "documents" subpoenaed existed as individual pages and so buy yourself time. But that hasn't been true for decades. At least not in large organizations with thousands of employees managing terabytes of information.
There is a game afoot between the media and those who do not wish to disclose this data. They are framing the entire discussion to mislead the public.
If there was a serious intent to make the data public, the vast majority could be released in a couple of weeks.
The FDA works with datasets but the documentation is all there in pages. PDFs now. We used to send them off in trucks, in lever arch binders.
It is in principle easy to release the data, the redaction is a problem.
It is also a bit of a red herring, the limited clinical trial data is now of essentially academic interest. The post-marketing pharmacovigilance data, by comparison, is vastly more important now.
Thank you for adding this layer of info. Let's discuss a little more for readers.
The PDF format was designed to mimic the output of a printer. While working with your information system, email, database etc. you search for the data you want and then "print" or export it into the PDF format. This is very convenient when it comes to sharing an individual record or a few records with a third party. And it that context, it isn't deceptive.
But this is a no-no when it comes to a discovery request. When it comes to discovery, the data requested is to be provided in its most original and most complete format. Emails aren't supposed to be converted to PDFs (or printed to paper) and database records aren't supposed to be exported to reports in a PDF. They are supposed to be transferred in their native format wherever possible. Or in a standard file transfer format like JSON.
Not saying exporting to PDF or printing to paper doesn't happen. Only saying those under subpoena take those actions (where the court allows it) because they want to obscure as much information as possible while making discovery difficult. Were the court serious about their discovery request they would demand the original data, it its original format or in agreed upon transfer format for medical information. That this isn't being demanded, to me indicates that political games are in action.
As to the value of the clinical trial data. It has pivotal value in laying blame even if it has much less value in understanding clinical outcomes.
It may be a genuine issue but they should have thought of that before shooting up a billion people with this stuff then trying to hide the data for 75 years. Genuine or not, they have zero credibility and it needs to come out now, let the chips fall where they may. They don't get to hide behind some theoretical data exposure after they've already poisoned the population and people are trying to figure out just how much harm has been done.
Many of us in the scientific community (myself included) get too focused on details and completely lose sight of the big picture. The time for delays to redact data was before they forced this stuff on people, before the adverse events, not now. Don't fall for their game.
Hi! New subscriber here. I read a part of one of your articles on Cecilia Hecht (sp?) post. I liked what I read and came here to subscribe. Thank-you for the information and standing for freedom of speech/the "press."
Every single person from the top to some TBDL level at the FDA needs to be fired. And then let's decide whicb ones are to be prosecuted for attempted evidence tampering.
I'll bet anything there's a clause in the secret contract with Pfizer that this be delegated to them. Refusal, means the government forfeits a military base!
I'm not sure why you're "astounded" by the FDA's actions. I'd be "astounded" if they actually acted in a way that suggested integrity and the public interest.
The agencies are all corrupted by Big Corp/Big Pharma money. It's too late: the die is cast. Only a clear out of the Augean stables will change things... but we will all suffer in the process.
I have a question that I think deserves a serious answer. No msm reporter will ever ask it of an FDA or Pfizer official with a camera rolling, but maybe we can get Rand Paul to do it.
Why would Pfizer data underlying a government promoted, funded and mandated drug be subject to redaction? Since any competitor’s drug developed through theft of “proprietary information” would have to go through FDA’s approval process and the US Patent Office, that theft of technology could be stopped in its tracks. It’s highly unlikely that the pharmacist in the strip mall is a threat to business. And China already has access to the technology because their scientists are on the research teams.
I know what the obvious snarky answers would be, because I’ve thought of them myself. So is there really a legitimate reason for this cloaking of the information behind the stuff they want to stick in our veins?
I really try to resist conspiratorial thinking, but may be the FDA's claim that it was going to take them 75 years was just a setup to let Pfizer step in and "help".
They're only supposed to redact personally identifiable data. At the Ron Johnson hearing the other day, one of the doctors or researchers held up some papers of FOIA documents that were almost completely big black boxes. Is there more of that in our future?
...and that is not what we need.
According to our leaders, not only do we need a massive cover-up for the cover-up, we need less information. Berenson sent a warning this morning about Substack now being under pressure. The WaPo is publishing an article about how Substack is a major outlet of misinformation that is tearing the world apart. Substack is first on the list, (if you don't count the already censored Google, FB, IG, You Tube, Parler, etc.) -the powers that be will shake them down until they are sawdust. Then Telegram, and the lesser threats of NY Post and Daily Mail. Taking down the media is priority number one.
Also, Bari Weiss, who I once liked, posted her Substack this morning, stating that the vaccines "have been literal lifesavers" and that "[d]espite the conspiracy theories in some corners of the web or on Fox News, there is simply zero evidence that they are killing people; that they are harming people in large numbers; or that this is all some malicious plot by Big Pharma. There is overwhelming proof that these vaccines prevent serious illness." (But I ask again, where is that?)
Which I find ironic given the fact that she is a staunch, if not maniacal, supporter of Jews and Israel, which is now suffering terribly as a result of too many vaccines. So fuck Bari Weiss, and more to the point, shame on her.
Bad Cat, I hope you keep a list of email addresses from your Substack following, just in case.
Postscript: I failed to mention that 95% of the comments to Bari directly disagreed with her stance on vaccines and questioned her journalistic integrity, rightly so.
oh, i do.
i keep all the posts as well.
if they blow this up, we'll rebuild next door
We'll move right there with you.
Gab will remain free... they have their own infrastructure and the more traffic and money they get, the more they build out to add features and protect free speech.
Gab is cumbersome but they continue to work on it as they attempt to improve it. At least it's free speech, much to the amazement of those who rarely see racial epithets and slurs being hurled about yet encounter them on Gab. I simply block those people; they aren't worth my time. We have REAL problems, not phony racial prejudices that have no business being aired anywhere, but especially not in public.
Oh yes, I block and mute people too. The world is full of idiots, I can ignore them online just as easily as in the real world.
Fans of data hoarding and backup also have troves at Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Can't say if all of yours is in there, but betcha a nickel it's virtually oodles! :~)
See something save something & get a toolbar button to redirect 404 Not Found to Wayback IF someone saved it when they saw it. :~)
https://web.archive.org/web/20210328191443/https://boriquagato.substack.com/

I haven't seen it myself but others have reported wayback has been caught editing archived pages for leftoid purposes.
There are alternatives, such as archive.today.
Lot's of folks I know use that archive but it was introduced to me like 2014. I've been saving at Wayback since 2002ish.. none of my content has ever gone missing. It's not because what has value to me isn't toxic. There is no real left or right it's all for show and truth does not have a political party.
Over the years folks repeat that they heard of some editing, never has anyone given an example of what vanished. Seems to me there's content that becomes popular or controversial and folks go to find a copy when it's deleted from a live platform. When it's not at Wayback they cry foul.
Fun fact, folks are inconsistent at best about saving. Perfect example as the truck convoy rolls into Ottawa & there's a Trudeau tweet from 2020 asking Canadians to support the truckers who kept rolling the whole pandemic.
Guess what? First capture is today, by me. If Justin Trudeau deleted that tweet legions would race to Wayback, find none and the rumors would fly.

This is great information. Thanks for sharing it.
Always my pleasure, knowledge is power that multiplies when we pass it on.
Lucky us! :~)
👏👏👏
If one attempts to bring some intellectual honesty to this debate, things get complicated very quickly. But "zero" evidence of vax deaths? - she is unaware of VAERS? To use her word: she is "simply" dishonest; we can disregard any future contributions from her.
=
I was going to mention that WaPo article; the writer is also very grumpy that SubStack is "making millions" (not sure that is true); in any case, he may remember when making money was the point of publishing the WaPo - no longer. It is a service provided by it's wealthy owner and payback for the position he enjoys.
Berenson is now saying Substack is "under pressure." God help us. Night of the Living Dead.
Bari Weiss is microdosing on red pills. She still stares at the shadows on the wall—she just is beginning to suspect they aren’t real.
She is, at heart, a conformist who cannot deviate too far from orthodox opinion in her social set.
Yes. Another word for that is "coward." I think she has unexpectedly encountered fame/fortune after her unpleasant departure from the NYT, which must have felt like a career-ender for her at the time. Now she will tread very lightly to hold on to her new-found status, lest she be cast away a second time. But this tack is a non-starter for any real journalist. I went from loving her podcast to feeling disgusted by her.
Yes, but I’m glad she’s giving a platform to folks like AJ Kay and David Zweig. These are great people who have been pushing back effectively on this terrible assault on reason and liberty and the rights of children.
🎯
Berenson's attack against Robert Malone was the end for me (for him).
I agree he was way off the mark, inaccurate and unprofessional, but I am giving him a muligan based on the entire body of his work
What Nick said.
That was weird, but I tend trust Alex and his motives even if he makes mistakes. Then a lab mouse pointed me to an exchange between David Wiseman and Malone - who did happen to have a favored seat there in the R Johnson hearing. Made me go hmmm. But Malone has parceled out a lot of valuable info so I’ll keep paying listening to both.
I do not normally "knee-jerk" like that, but there is *no* way to excuse it. It went against "the entire body of his work" to do so. The same with Bari. It is not possible that she would not have (by now!) availed herself of the same information those of us here have. Just reading Steve Kirsch would have closed it. Full disclosure of medical knowledge: left-hip replacement, pacemaker, and C3-C6 ACDF. :-)
I read that post by Bari Weiss and proceeded to unsubscribe. Anything that starts with "the c19 vaccines were miracles" is BS and not worth my time. What a shame!
They were miracle to EBIDTA and C suite salaries and bonuses trust me.
Fun fact: there's an old version of that page where the phrase "the vaccines are nothing short of miracles" was followed by "now please let my family go."
I looked for her substack because I wanted to read the comments, but I couldn't find the post. Maybe it was for subscribers only, or did she delete it?
I was a free subscriber. She may have deleted it.
I just searched for it too and could find it. Possibly the backlash was so great she realized her mistake?

Bari Weiss is a nit wit who speaks with authority on subjects she knows nothing about. In a chat with Joe Rogan she flaunted her ignorance and arrogance.
Fun thing about folks like Rogan who treat critical thinking like a semi-pro sport, when they spar with a flaccid blob it's not pretty but fun to watch. https://twitter.com/jimmy_dore/status/1092623435321073666
This is gold. Thank you for sharing!
I dumped Bari about 4 months ago. It was abundantly clear she's an opportunist in revolutionary clothing and doesn't hold a consistent position on anything that doesn't build her following.
Working for the New York Times seems to implant this kind of spike protein in your brain to think like a 15- year old girl trying to build a Facebook "following" that lingers after you leave.
Even Berenson is desperate to get his blue check and repeatedly throws the substack readers that pay his mortgage under the bus when he fears they won't play well with his old woke journo buddies who he desperately wants to invite him back into the treehouse.
Yes, I'm done with her too. You are spot on. This is hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS-sxJFn6O0&t=8s
You're right about Berenson too but as others have pointed out here in the comments, he still produces some great product. I'll put up with him for that...for now.
We seem to be forever running from "them" and toward the next independent platform that resists censoring. TPTB are relentless in their efforts to stifle independent and contrarian thought. At some point, decentralization may be the only answer, otherwise known as federation.
Bari is a Judas goat who leads the lambs to the metaphorical, although not always, slaughter. Shame on her.
The truth is nuanced--they did do some temporary good with regard to prior variants and for some cross sections of Covid sufferers. But if she wants to grab that ring she needs to come clean about the ample evidence that VE for Omicron does seem--to any reasonable person--to be negative. Can the public handle such ambivalence? If it can't then we don't have a society, we have pigeons that can be led anywhere. She should know that.
How do you know that? Where is there any real data showing these vaxxes helped anyone? For the majority of 2021, most people were not "fully vaccinated," especially when you considered fully vaxxed = 2 shots + 14 days. So most people dying were "unvaxxed." Couple that with the absence of tracking the fully vaxxed, you again get skewed numbers. Now the fully vaxxed are dying at higher rates than the unvaxxed and it's not from Omicron. And let's not forget, even the fully vaxxed and boosted had a 99%+ recovery rate from the get-go.
The only people who profess to have data that these vaxxes are extraordinarily effective are Pfizer and Moderna, and they are fighting tooth and nail to hide that data from us. I personally don't believe they do anything at all. Real truth (as opposed to negotiated truth) is rarely nuanced.
I also have noticed this unsupportable talking point becoming increasingly ubiquitous on threads. As you said , the majority don't even know they have it . With the corrupted control group they eliminated , among the many " irregularities" of the development
" trials" , it is ridiculous to claim such " knowledge".
Simply producing an inflammation of ONE TYPE of our many immune cells , is not and will never be as efficacious as our innate , multi layered natural system .
In fact , it appears to " hold open the door" of the cell to more easily allow the virus in .
The single protein targeted ensured that mutation would quickly eliminate any PURPORTED benefit . The other proteins just add to the " fun". Synctin targeting by including that protein , PLUS forcing it on pregnant and young women and children - what could go wrong?
Both Berenson and Gato (and several pieces of data I've read) seem to suggest a brief, comparative benefit in serious cases. But that does not warrant a mandate of any kind. I do suspect if the mnra vaxes didn't work at all we'd know it. But maybe you're right, maybe not. In any event they are a relic now.
They are still being administered. Comirnity is unavailable ( for a reason) in USA
Bari Weiss is a twit, even if she occasionally accidentally hits on some good ideas to parrot. Your postscript is very encouraging!
:) Yes, I was rejuvenated by the comments--I read every one of them.
I still like Bari. I, too, disagree with her stance on vaccines but I don't think she's being malicious -- she hasn't read what we have, and she is probably like Alex Berenson is on Ivermectin (he hasn't seen data to convince him yet.) I disagree with Alex on known therapeutics being suppressed, but I still think he's a solid journalist and I think Bari is, too. I am hoping that as she learns more about what's happening (ie adverse reactions) that she'll come around as well. It's going to take personal stories followed by data to convince her, IMO.
I hadn’t ever heard of her until this week. Her journey reflects mine in some ways and I like many things she says, though not all obviously. Sometimes I wish I had used my “insiders position” more wisely. Now that I am suddenly an outsider no one listens to me anymore. Maybe she is smarter about retaining any clout she has to get important information to the masses?
I read a lot of people who I don't agree with on everything, but who I think make good arguments or they're coming from a good heart. It keeps me grounded in not only what others think and WHY they think it, but also helps me defend my own positions. I rarely change my mind about something, but there are times when seeing a nuanced argument helps me be a kinder, more compassionate person. I disagree with some of Bari's arguments, but I can respect that she is pro-vaccine while also being anti-mandate. I sincerely hope that she comes around, but she only will if our side debates and speaks with genuine kindness and respect, not if we yell and scream and tell her to go to hell. I also respect that she is willing to have conversations with people, in public, that she disagrees with (like Ben Shapiro.) I like when people of different views engage in civil discourse. It makes society better. IMO.
Amen to all of that!
I guess we’ll see. She’s been enthusiastically vaxxed, so I’m not holding my breath!
I think rather focusing on a person's positions (which oscillate constantly and which will never align 100% with our own) we are better served by studying their process. Do they have a genuinely true heart and inquisitive mind? Are they swayed by groupthink or other social pressures? Are they willing to go it alone? Do they believe in the sanctity of individuals who retain their self determination (but are willing to act in sync when circumstances warrant it) or do they view individuals as factotums of the State to be used in pursuit of the "collective good"? As a lesbian and liberal, Bari Weiss exists in her own unique brand of fishbowl. In it are pressures and influences, fears and goals which you or I could never fully be privy to. Helps to keep that in mind.
Which of her posts? I would love to comment similarly. Have always enjoyed her work, but on this, I must loudly share my disappointment.
It was her Jan. 27 Common Sense Substack, written by David Zweig.
https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/why-are-we-boosting-kids?r=biv2x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
And yet not a single health care, physician, or nursing association has spoken up in support of the immediate release of the data.
Do hospital systems even want to see the actual data? Are there any physician scientists out there who are curious what the data shows?
I can’t wrap my brain around the fact that these groups are comfortable just taking Pfizer at their word.
The fact that they are is killing every last shred of trust I have in the health care system.
If you read 'The fourth turning' by Howe and Strauss from the 1990's you will see this is the moment people wake up and force change in society. This was a book I read 2yrs ago and gave me comfort in knowing that things had to get bad...really bad before people finally woke up to what happened around them whilst they watched the Kardassian's in a stupor. The reason I kept my sanity was this book. If you read any book in the future and want to understand what is going on right now...read it and spread the word. Unfortunately this has to happen in order to rebuild. We need everyone to see the man behind the curtain and he is a very small man indeed.
i resent that :)
Well put your pants on, we're all coming over! 😁
😂🙀
LOL!!!!
It's on my bookshelf and next up after I finish RFK Jr's book!
Just borrowed from my library. Thank you for the recommendation.
Great to hear. Just pass along all the information you might glean from it. People need to know we are not careening off of a cliff. This HAS to happen for the world to begin anew again. It has happened countless times throughout history as you will find out when you are reading.
Will do. Cooking today, will start reading tomorrow.
Health care providers are under threat. It all comes down to $$$. Medicare funding, Medical licenses being revoked, reimbursement $$ are higher for Covid Dx and death. And as a healthcare professional myself, I can tell you, we are all exhausted. First we were essential and heroes, then we were punished and vaccine mandated, all while we treated wave after wave of very ill patients. Lena, I share your loss of trust in the health care system, but it has been under attack for 30 years (the length of my career) to transition to single-payer. No choice and no care. Thanks for still trying to hold onto a shred of belief in our exceptional health care delivery system. We were grand! But now, we are captured by the government $$$.
I am a RN. And the loss of faith in this system, which I admit I had child like faith in, has crushed my soul. I cry over this because it was a precious thing we had. I cherished it and always wanted us to strive for what was right, at least most of the time.
It is hard to go to work and not recognize people you have worked with for years.
Oh goodness, Lena. Yes, I completely understand. Our mission to care for people was the most precious thing we honored, but even my own doctor has said he is under threat of losing his medical license. How do you fight that? By becoming part of the the alternate economy, but I don't know many who are willing to walk away from a 401K, benefits or employer, in order to live our values, which is why I am still employed by my big, national, EVIL employer. Who knows for how long, but for now I choose to stay. Hugs across the miles! :)
I am hoping one of the silver linings from all of this is that alternative care models emerge. What we have is not working well. It feels suffocating. Not helpful.
Lawyer Aaron Siri, whose firm is involved in this case, wrote about this on his Substack. Super fun footnote to his firm's opposition is this: "Reflecting the issues with this product, the FDA failed to send a representative to a federal court hearing in this matter on December 14th because of the 'FDA’s protocols' regarding COVID-19. Meaning, despite the FDA’s claim the vaccine is 'effective,' the FDA is apparently still scared to send a representative to the hearing. Its actions speak volumes and cast serious doubt on its words."
Siri's post is here: https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/fda-asks-the-court-to-delay-first
that was a great update, I saw that yesterday. I loved his math on pages per day, and about going through the pages at a preschool reading pace, and wondered what would even need redaction, if they are running an appropriate trial, no PHI should have been submitted and the data should be available as is.
Did you guys see one of the top comments about a software called eDiscovery that can be used to anonimize all this Pfizer data, inluding human post-check, in like few days tops?
No I had not seen that, I have to go look that up.
Gato, can you make your logo available in some printed form? I just want to put it on my fridge to keep me cheered up. But I'd buy a hat too. or a bumpersticker. or something. Thank you.
“the FDA have forgotten what their job is.” Please tell me a time when they knew what their job was?
We need ALL THE PEOPLE to say NO NO NO !!!! We will not take ANY of your products (vaccines or otherwise) until you have provided FULL DISCLOSURE.
No more boosters
No more to kids (pull them from schools if necessary)
Boycott any Pfizer products on the market: Advil, Bextra, Celebrex, Diflucan, Lyrica, Robitussin and Viagra, Chapstick -- buy the products of their competitors instead - or no name brand
This is a criminal entity and needs to be treated as such.
Here's another interesting article that questions the vaccines safety. Four chemistry professors sent a list of questions to BioNTech founder Ugur Sahin. They are concerned about possible quality issues with the vaccine.
https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/news/chemiker-zu-impfstoff-woher-kommt-der-grauton-li.208305

Wow I just finished reading that article. What a bomb that is. From the known ingredients 2 are not allowed in or even ON human bodies. The serum should be white but sometimes is has a grey tone, the scientists want to know how come. They also state that lots of bad reactions to the jabs happen within such a short time, that they suspect toxic ingredients rather than the working ingredient to be the culprit.... and so on and so on. What a great article
A thought experiment: the mRNA product is produced by in vitro transcription, enzymes in a bioreactor that removes some of the normal error checking process present in whole cells. As such, the copy error rate is something like 1 in 1,000,000 bases, which seems good. However, the Pfizer mRNA is 4284 bases long, which means about 1 in 250 copies will contain an error. This still doesn't seem bad for a drug - 99.4% pure! - but for two things: one, the mRNA makes many copies of its target protein in the cell, and two, there are roughly 10 trillion strands of the mRNA in a 100ug "dose". So you could have up to 40 billion bad mRNA's each making dozens of bad proteins ... this certainly starts to line up with the observed adverse event rates. (Hope this is their line of thinking, I don't read German!)
that is in the article too. The scientist wonder how such large batches can have a decent quality control, that some batches seem to differ from others... my german is okay but it is quite a bit to translate LOL
"After all, scientists are dealing with reports of side effects. They are worried because there are apparently different side effects with different batch numbers."
"Some side effects occur quickly after vaccination and much faster than one would expect if this were related to the formation of the spike protein. Here, a toxic or allergic reaction would be more likely, which could be narrowed down by further studies on the ingredients."
Vaccine toxicity (occurance of adverse effects) analysis by batch number, some batches cause 200x as many adverse effects as other batches:
https://rumble.com/vryl77-variation-in-toxicity-of-covid-vaccine-batches-craig-paardekooper.html
Also, the toxicity level differences and batch releases schedule (timing-wise as well as geographically - within US states but also US vs Europe) are not random but seem thoroughly planned, not only within one vaccine brand but between all 4 brands together:
https://rumble.com/vq9pde-highly-disturbing-vaers-analysis-clear-patterns-in-toxic-vaccine-batches-cr.html
Exactly. It's hard to believe that it has taken this long for more highly educated people to start seeing some of the red flags.
I said to my wife last night: "There are a lot more smart people than there are critical thinkers."
Great point Richard.
I always assume that many research scientist/docs have a tendency toward Asperger's like traits , which can sometimes involve a hyperfocus on their " area of specialty" , which doesn't necessarily translate to a more synergistic awareness of real world outcomes/ current events.
Also , many derive a sense of prestige and superiority complex from their titles , which came from willingness to regurgitate the version espoused by the authority figure " teaching". Without question , unfortunately. It's tough to climb off a high horse , even if you are now gaining perspective.
I hope the court can stop them or the data may be gone forever. I wish someone in the FDA would have a coming to Jesus conversion and speak the truth. Where are the whistleblowers when we need them? Oh, wait, we have them (DOD whistleblowers) but they, too, are being silenced because the media won't report on it.
Potential whistleblowers have been purged long ago. What you are seeing now in the military (in the open) was already done when BO was in office. The purge is almost complete.
Well, a few scientists have objected. A couple of them resigned very publicly but the MSM didn't cover it
I have several nurses in the family. My cousin told me the nurses association sent out a letter saying if any nurse spoke publicly about anything that contradicts the public health guidelines that they could have their license pulled. She isn't vaccinated because her hospital hasn't mandated it (yet) and she told me she'll quit first after what she's seen. She's an ER nurse with more than 20 years experience. We're losing good people over this. My SIL is a trauma nurse and got the J&J vaccine (even though she had a documented 2020 case of COVID) because of the mandate at her hospital because she's only 5 years from retirement and she didn't want to lose her benefits (plus wouldn't be able to get another job in her city because of the mandates.) Then, she got COVID again. And she's not allowed to talk about vaccines, etc, either.
🤨
This is literally life or death. They want to give the smallest of us multiple shots of god-knows-what. It's our future on the line.
I get the impression the FDA, when it believes it has a pandemic on its hands, essentially allows itself to go into "state of war" conditions where deceit is not only allowed, but encouraged. Malone talked about this -- that any information that increases vaccine hesitancy can be suppressed even if it's true. The other part of "war time" conditions is that the elites allow their own predetermined level of collateral casualty. Your kid was paralyzed by the clot shot? "Thank you for serving your country. (Without the rights of a wounded veteran, of course).
In terms of that collateral damage question: we all know this vaccine has created far more death and injury than any other, but it's also been mandated in some quarters. What is the _rate_ of casualty for this vaccine versus previous vaccines?
In RFK Jr's book he cites the entry in the Federal Register wherein criticism of vaccines, even if it's true, is illegal.
Indeed war. Them against us. In my circle, we have taken to speaking about "the war" - we all know what we're talking about.
There was some pandemic planning/scenario creating document produced by Johns Hopkins - circa 2012 (I recall) - that had the President addressing the nation after a very large number of vax deaths and speaking to families who has lost loved ones in - essentially - just those terms: "Thank you for serving your country".
I mean, at least when you send a soldier to war, you don't tell him, "the battlefield experience is extremely safe." We're telling 12 year olds something like "you have almost no chance of getting sick or dying from this virus, and we won't even tell you what the vaccine's injury/death risk is. Just do it for old people, kay?"
Rather, we're telling 12 year olds: "be afraid, wear a mask, you need a jab for a disease that could kill you and the jab is very, very safe."
When in truth, it's: "You have no chance of getting this disease, much less dying from it. We're giving you a jab for it and we have NO IDEA how dangerous the side effects may be."
I really would like to know what they consider to be acceptable casualty levels. If the virus itself takes out, say, 0.18% of the population, would they plan for vaccine casualties of -- what? -- 0.0018% of the people who take it? I think _someone_ has to be making a calculation of this sort somewhere. Right?
Yeah, except the calculation shows the vax taking out about 1.8% of the population, and they consider that an optimal outcome.
VAERs reporting is the highest I think ever.
Right, but previous vaccines haven't been mandated, so I'm wondering what the fatality/dosage rate is Covid vaccines vs. previous rollouts.
I'd like to see that too but we know at the very least that Pfizer is not interested in adding any illumination and I personally haven't trusted the CDC in a long time.
OMG, absolutely inappropriate to allow Pfizer to “help” redact their own documents. They will redact anything that discloses how dangerous the jabs are! If the fda needs help, hire an independent panel to do the work.
Most, if not all, regulatory agencies have been defanged by lobbying and the revolving door and general pro-corporatist political pressure (the EPA springs to mind), but to my knowledge, the FDA is the only one that is also DIRECTLY funded by the industry it purports to 'regulate'*. The CDC, in its turn, accepts multimillion-$ "gifts," strings and all, from its lazily overseen industries., AND HOLDS PATENTS in that same industry (so, in that particular sphere, the CDC actually IS the industry). The CDC/FDA also may be the only agencies that allow lawyered-up behemoth monopolies to run their own studies and sequester the resulting data. Explains a lot, I think.
*About 45% of the FDA's budget, or $2.7 billion, comes from "industry user fees ( = legal bribes)"

Several months ago, at a seminar or whatnot, Charlie Kirk was asked (I paraphrase), "What would have to happen for us to reach the point for which the Founders included the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights?"
Charlie deflected the question, instead calling for all peaceful means.
Yeah, that's great, Charlie, as far as it goes. But there came a point when our forebears realized that dumping tea in Boston Harbor just wasn't gonna get the job done.

Feds found Pfizer too big to nail

Pfizer isn't going anywhere no matter what they find. It's happened before, it will happen again. Too many stakeholders with too much at stake to take them down, everyone in the gov knows this; that's why they are helping them hide.
Because honest do-gooders always want stuff redacted or hidden for 75 years. Pfizer is just so damn bashful.
It's obvious they are criminals trying desperately to cover up what they've done. And they will get away with it, my prediction.
Well, to paraphrase Berenson:
"Government gonna government."
For years many of us have called the FDA the "Federal Death Authority" for erecting barriers to entry that are insurmountable to all but the large, favored few big pharma companies, thus slowing development to a crawl and causing the deaths of countless people.
I have friends in the medical device business that tell me that it takes at least $100 million to get a new device through the bureaucracy and to market, making it all but impossible for disrupting, upstart companies to improve everyone's lives like in the computer/internet space.
And, of course and as usual, the founding story of the FDA and its predecessors, to protect people from "snake oil" and such, is complete mythology.
Private rating and certification agencies, like UL, would not be subject to regulatory capture and bureaucratic mission creep, and instead would have an economic incentive to stay neutral and accurate lest its competitors outshine it.
The FDA should have been abolished decades ago, and it certainly should be now.
So true, working at a small start up we could not even get approval for a phase I without animal studies! let alone what has happened here
I remember reading about a company that produced a gel filled pad that could be placed across a breast as a woman ran her fingers over it to check for lumps. The gel filled pad reduced finger friction and made any lumps more easily felt.
The FDA demanded that the pads be considered a medical device and required the company to obtain FDA approval to sell them. Then they denied approval.
Evil bastages.
Pfizer, Fauci, Gates = EVIL
What astonishes me is that this article, with the damning links, and countless others like it, have ZERO impact on this dispelling the Diabolical Disorientation happening right before our eyes!
The "errors" and blunders ALWAYS go in ONE direction: in favor of Bigger Gov't, Pfizer & Company, and Depotism & Cruelty.
Facts be damned.
Media, Educational System, Child Rearing System, Feminist Thought, Collectivist Outlets (most Catholic Churches, the Pope himself, NGOs that depend on government financing, think tanks)--they all put us here. Take away small, independent organizational structures and substitute them with the prior list and this is what you get.
Must be some pretty damning stuff in there.
This is how you turn half the country into conspiracy theorists. This is like the Warren Commission. Only thing left is to stack the commission with Fauci and some Pfizer reps to adjudicate a magic bullet (aka vaxx) theory.
Has any authoritarian regime ever been reasoned out of power? I'm no history buff, but I don't remember seriously bad actors changing their ways in the face of overwhelming evidence or logical discussion of their malfeasance. This is the uncomfortable fact that we are avoiding because ". . .mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." And we all know how that declaration ended. So we hope and pray that maybe the courts, maybe the November elections, maybe Omicron, maybe legal actions, maybe an act of God.
Yep. It's not going to just...End. Maybe if there was a huge asteroid hit (recently we had a 'near miss' of 7 million KM or something...) or there were multiple massive earthquakes or the sea suddenly rose 50 feet overnight it might. But these are not highly realistic options in the next few weeks/months.
People DO like to suffer. They think they're a slave-race or something and they were BORN to suffer. At least that's my take on it. Nothing else makes sense!
At least in the USA you guys home-school 11% of students. Here in The Land of Oz we home-school about 0.7% of students. How will a country so tethered to society like Australia ever host a revolution?! Maybe I should move countries...
People just need to wake up - but they're not. What to do...? Just watch the horror unfolding and try to find a bunker to hide out in for a few years...? :-\
Agree 100%
Comrade: who needs transparency when you can have a government-funded mandatory subscription model? https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-build-a-killer-business
I'll say one thing for Gates: He found out early that the best way to get customers was to go to the government and have them make his product the standard.
The rot goes so deep and the vax obsession is quite astounding. I was just reading a supposedly, proper scientific article discussing long-term immunity to sars cov2. In the initial paragraph it recommended that naturally-infected and recovered get vaccinated (for unclarified reasons) yet in the same article clearly demonstrated that natural infection is both broader and longer lasting than the 'vaccines' (transfections). Like anyone who's been reading about basic immunology over the last year would already know. But seriously, they can't let these bloody transfections go. They're obsessed with these shots and antibody levels. It's their 'precious' and must be protected at all costs, to hell with everything else. This FDA move is yet another example of that.
Why don't we just privatize the courts. Let Pfizer run its own legal system, appoint its own judges.
We already have.
The courts have been doing Ok thus far haven't they? I mean they did ask for a faster release. But it would funny to see a pfizer logo on the corner of the judges bench
But they only asked for 75 yrs for their study on the safety of it all
This is BULLSHIT! I used to respect the FDA but no more. I spent nearly four decades working in preclinical pharmaceutical research. But now I am glad I am no longer a part of it, because I would have a hard time looking in the mirror. 75 years to release documents? What are they hiding? What are they thinking of? This is not the same industry I spent most of my life working in.
The FDA flying monkeys want to secure a job with Big Pharma after they leave their jobs at the FDA. Totally corrupted, totally compromised. Abolish the FDA, CDC, etc., and DONT start over! Americans will be healthier.
Just when you say…it can’t get worse!!!
They're afraid of facing criminal prosecution and hoping to put it off until most of us are dead. But they're fools to want to because if they don't face judgment for their crimes against humanity in courts of law, they will eventually face rough justice at the hands of humanity, and it won't be pretty.

It's starting to feel like the whole thing (government agencies) will require being torn down & rebuilt.
demand a halt to pfizer jabs until all data has been released.
You do have to ask: Where is the American Medical Association? Where is the American Academy of Pediatrics? My family doc is terrific, but what has become of the professional organizations? Why aren't they demanding disclosure?
They are doing the opposite! They are stripping renown and respected doctors of their licenses, ordering the retraction of published, peer-reviewed studies --all of which go against the narrative. They are Hitler's henchmen in this scenario.
While some individuals are terrific, the AMA is, overall, not; they are part of the problem. Just read their history.
Sooner or later, someone in some lab in a different country than the US, will tae a long hard look at what's in that shot. Then they will do some tests of their own. And then the cat will be out of the bag anyway.
I mean, it's not as if the US presidents (with one recent exception) has been making friends around the world the past 20 yeras, is it? There's an incredible amount of bile out there, not against the people(s) of the USA but against the [redacted] on top.
China, perhaps if tensions concerning Taiwan can't be solved with Biden appeasing Xi. Or Russia. Remember the time a president 'drew a red line' in the sand before Putin? Remember what Putin did immediately after that? Or Iran, no lost love there. Or some other nation with a bone to pick.
Just speculating of course but all it takes is one lab in a nation that has zero reason to fear the US or comply with the shenanigans of US businesses.
Thank you Gato for addressing this issue. This information is the foundation for truly informed consent regarding the vaccines. On a lighter note:
The Real Reason FDA Wants 75 years to Release Covid Vaccine Data

Was there ever a better example of regulatory capture?
wait until you meet the electricity generation markets...
(or, for that matter, public schools.)
Yeah, I’m actually dealing with that right now. The incest between PG&E and the California Public Utilities Commission is ridiculous.
Gato, it ain't just generation. Transmission and distribution are a mess too. 'Deregulation?' What a lie. More rules now than ever, and rules are the health of the bureaucrat. I've been working in this industry since the mid-80s (BS Electrical Engineering, MBA, retired Professional Engineer and Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the world's largest professional association) -- so I know of what I speak.
Boeing's capture of the FAA was more visible through the 737Max crashes, it was actually reported.
Metaphorically: The FDA is Big Pharma's pimp and they don't care that the prostitutes they are pimping are knowingly spreading venereal diseases.
Redaction is routinely done for clinical trial data to protect against the accidental release of information that might identify participants.
I don't seek to defend Pfizer's attempts to keep their data out of the public domain, but this is actually a genuine issue - let me give you an example from a report I worked on some time ago. Female actress found dead by swimming pool at Hollywood mansion with over 20 OTC drugs in her system. Cause of death not established at time of report.
I am not well up on Hollywood actresses but immediately knew who it was.
Remember, any release of this data at all is quite a recent initiative. The agencies have also chosen the most cumbersome and challenging system you could imagine. Instead of wholesale redaction of CSR Section 16 listings and patient narratives (and equivalents from the submission dossiers), everything has to be released, but with painstaking removal of any individual patient potentially identifying information.
Some sponsors take pro-active approaches to this, for example in listings giving subject ages by range in 5-year intervals. I understand and support the desire for public availability of data but this reduces the scientific value of the study (85 years is very different to 90 years in medicine). A different approach is needed, and one that wouldn't take so much time, one that balances the public interest in accessible clinical trial data and the public interest in people not being put off participation in clincial trials because of potential publication and identification of sensitive medical information.
When the media reports on this story they set an anchor in the reader's mind of pages of "documents" being collected and released. The reader envisions a search of file cabinets from across the organization. And then the media describes reading, xeroxing and redacting of these "documents" as a manual time consuming process.
I doubt that there are large numbers of "documents" in use at all. I believe it's much more likely that the vast majority of the data exists in various databases on email and chat servers and in formats like Word and PowerPoint.
All of these systems and formats are effeciently searched, scraped and organized using e-discovery software. And intelligent highly configurable automatic redaction is a part of that process in most all cases.
When I worked in legal discovery 25 years ago, you might have been able to mislead a judge into believing that the "documents" subpoenaed existed as individual pages and so buy yourself time. But that hasn't been true for decades. At least not in large organizations with thousands of employees managing terabytes of information.
There is a game afoot between the media and those who do not wish to disclose this data. They are framing the entire discussion to mislead the public.
If there was a serious intent to make the data public, the vast majority could be released in a couple of weeks.
The FDA works with datasets but the documentation is all there in pages. PDFs now. We used to send them off in trucks, in lever arch binders.
It is in principle easy to release the data, the redaction is a problem.
It is also a bit of a red herring, the limited clinical trial data is now of essentially academic interest. The post-marketing pharmacovigilance data, by comparison, is vastly more important now.
Thank you for adding this layer of info. Let's discuss a little more for readers.
The PDF format was designed to mimic the output of a printer. While working with your information system, email, database etc. you search for the data you want and then "print" or export it into the PDF format. This is very convenient when it comes to sharing an individual record or a few records with a third party. And it that context, it isn't deceptive.
But this is a no-no when it comes to a discovery request. When it comes to discovery, the data requested is to be provided in its most original and most complete format. Emails aren't supposed to be converted to PDFs (or printed to paper) and database records aren't supposed to be exported to reports in a PDF. They are supposed to be transferred in their native format wherever possible. Or in a standard file transfer format like JSON.
Not saying exporting to PDF or printing to paper doesn't happen. Only saying those under subpoena take those actions (where the court allows it) because they want to obscure as much information as possible while making discovery difficult. Were the court serious about their discovery request they would demand the original data, it its original format or in agreed upon transfer format for medical information. That this isn't being demanded, to me indicates that political games are in action.
As to the value of the clinical trial data. It has pivotal value in laying blame even if it has much less value in understanding clinical outcomes.
Thank you for the back-and-forth Viv.
It may be a genuine issue but they should have thought of that before shooting up a billion people with this stuff then trying to hide the data for 75 years. Genuine or not, they have zero credibility and it needs to come out now, let the chips fall where they may. They don't get to hide behind some theoretical data exposure after they've already poisoned the population and people are trying to figure out just how much harm has been done.
Many of us in the scientific community (myself included) get too focused on details and completely lose sight of the big picture. The time for delays to redact data was before they forced this stuff on people, before the adverse events, not now. Don't fall for their game.
Hi! New subscriber here. I read a part of one of your articles on Cecilia Hecht (sp?) post. I liked what I read and came here to subscribe. Thank-you for the information and standing for freedom of speech/the "press."
Every single person from the top to some TBDL level at the FDA needs to be fired. And then let's decide whicb ones are to be prosecuted for attempted evidence tampering.
I'll bet anything there's a clause in the secret contract with Pfizer that this be delegated to them. Refusal, means the government forfeits a military base!
Most crime goes unpunished.
Governments know this, they're the ones committing most of the crime.
I'm not sure why you're "astounded" by the FDA's actions. I'd be "astounded" if they actually acted in a way that suggested integrity and the public interest.
The agencies are all corrupted by Big Corp/Big Pharma money. It's too late: the die is cast. Only a clear out of the Augean stables will change things... but we will all suffer in the process.
I have a question that I think deserves a serious answer. No msm reporter will ever ask it of an FDA or Pfizer official with a camera rolling, but maybe we can get Rand Paul to do it.
Why would Pfizer data underlying a government promoted, funded and mandated drug be subject to redaction? Since any competitor’s drug developed through theft of “proprietary information” would have to go through FDA’s approval process and the US Patent Office, that theft of technology could be stopped in its tracks. It’s highly unlikely that the pharmacist in the strip mall is a threat to business. And China already has access to the technology because their scientists are on the research teams.
I know what the obvious snarky answers would be, because I’ve thought of them myself. So is there really a legitimate reason for this cloaking of the information behind the stuff they want to stick in our veins?
And their product is so awful, wouldn't they be overjoyed to have competitors stealing it?
I really try to resist conspiratorial thinking, but may be the FDA's claim that it was going to take them 75 years was just a setup to let Pfizer step in and "help".
They're only supposed to redact personally identifiable data. At the Ron Johnson hearing the other day, one of the doctors or researchers held up some papers of FOIA documents that were almost completely big black boxes. Is there more of that in our future?
