On the cowardice of American scientists

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

Researchers everywhere are doing work that raises hard questions about the safety of mRNA Covid shots. Everywhere except the United States, that is. Why?

Why do mRNA Covid jabs cause myocarditis and autoimmune diseases?

What is the impact of the unusual immune system changes they provoke?

Do their risks increase with each dose, and if so, does offering them to anyone now make sense?

Most of all, are the shots safe long-term?

None of these questions have quick answers. mRNA shots are hugely complex, and scientists have almost no long-term data on them. Before 2020 they were just another unproven biotechnology slowly moving through early-stage human trials.

But answers must be found. Over one billion people received the mRNAs, making them maybe the largest medical experiment ever. It is now clear the clinical trials from Pfizer and Moderna missed crucial risks and side effects, including menstrual disruption, myocarditis and other cardiovascular problems, and autoimmune crises.

Some scientists are trying to perform the crucial work that’s needed.

In only the last few weeks, researchers in Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Italy have published papers suggesting mRNA-caused myocarditis is more common and may hurt the heart for longer than previously known, while South Korean cardiologists reported almost two dozen fatal mRNA-caused myocarditis cases.

Only yesterday, immunologists in Hungary reported the mRNAs over time cause people to produce more of a type of antibody that does not destroy the coronavirus, building on findings last winter from German researchers.

Meanwhile, Japanese scientists have published many studies and case reports on potential autoimmune side effects of the mRNAs, including thyroid disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

Seeing a trend?

The United States has used far more mRNA Covid jabs than any other country, giving roughly 650 million jabs to about 250 million Americans.

Since April 2021, when regulators began discouraging use of Johnson & Johnson’s jab, which used a different but somewhat less radical biotechnology and required only one shot, the mRNAs have essentially been the only Covid vaccine technology available to Americans. More than 95 percent of all Covid shots given in the United States have been mRNAs.

The United States has spent more on the mRNAs than any other country, of course. But it has also profited more from them. Pfizer and Moderna, which brought the mRNAs to market and have sold over $100 billion in jabs worldwide, are both American companies (Pfizer splits mRNA sales and profits equally with the German drugmaker BioNTech.)

(Team America! The handsome gentleman behind Uncle Joe is Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla. Besides having similar taste in suits and masks, both are defendants in Berenson v Biden.)

(SOURCE)

The American government played a crucial role in the development of both shots, especially Moderna’s, which the National Institutes of Health helped the company design.

The aid was so crucial that in February Moderna agreed to pay NIH $400 million for it. And the United States encouraged other countries to use them, including offering doses to China in December 2022, a gift the Chinese rejected.

If BioNTech’s key role in creating the mRNAs means they cannot be called an entirely American creation, they are close. American scientists, companies, and government officials shepherded their development.

Now the mRNAs have, to put it politely, missed their marks.

That failure can be measured in many ways, including cratering public demand despite a multi-year propaganda campaign and the unexplained rise in all-cause mortality across mRNA countries following last winter’s booster campaign.

Perhaps the most basic measure of their failure is this: the choice countries made in 2020 and 2021 was not between the mRNAs and no Covid vaccines. It was between the mRNAs and simpler vaccines based on older technology. Countries that used the old-style vaccines, including China, have had comparable or better outcomes to the mRNA nations – without any of the long-term risks.

But now that the winter 2021 promise of an mRNA miracle has vanished, American scientists and institutions have disappeared too. The lack of American research on papers examining problems with the jabs grows more glaring each week.

The gap is especially notable because the United States biomedical complex is the most powerful and best-funded in the world. Without its involvement, progress on understanding these issues will occur much more slowly.

Why this studied disinterest from American scientists? And what if anything can be done to change it?

Aside from the underlying issue of what long-term risks the shots may carry, those questions are becoming among the most urgent for mRNA skeptics to answer.

From the very get go, the drug companies were given immunity from accountability for any harm their products might cause.
Why would anyone in their right mind let anyone be injected with such a concoction ?

Why would anyone do this to their children?

I really didn’t know how stupid the average American was until the government initiated the Covid hoax. After I saw those zombies walking around day after day wearing those compliance muzzles, it was no surprise to see them all line up to be injected over and over and over again. They’re all fat, stupid and on drugs. There is no fixing it.

Actual answer of a couple of covidian in-laws: “So people don’t think we are Republicans/Trumpers” aka Bad People.

The mastery of the covidian psyop was to condition people to internalizing it all as a moral question that in of itself cannot be questioned without becoming a moral failing. The administrative details are not important..

There is only one right answer; it has been given. Submitting to this is an act of piety.

It’s why they will not seek out any new information or suddenly (heh) start considering the observable reality after the fact.

They will not go back and revisit that question because it is a trap-door in the entire facade of their identity and moral standing.

The truth is they abused their children and put them in great peril for status and the fleeting emotional high of being a Good Person.

They put the noose around their own neck. And yet they still believe in their Goodness. They still question us with the same high self-regard, patronizing moral preening, and disdain for the entirety of what resides in the filthy landscape below the cloud.

Seeing this play out up-close is why I am convinced there is a big chunk of the population that is beyond saving in this world and will remain to be quite dangerous as they have already passed the test. They sacrificed their children. There is no governor on what comes next.

What would anyone do this to their children?

Vacations, sports, donuts, zoo tickets, chance to win a million dollars (CO), college, social acceptance, etc.

Ya know, all the important stuff.

i told friends who vaxxed up for a cruise that even if i got a free cabin and my spouse back from the dead i would not risk the clot shots being im d dimer positive and have been since the 90s. that 2 hospitalizations would make sure i never did anything to risk another clot putting me out of action again….. i dont care what any one thinks of me. i need zero validation and zero maintainance for my ego. and doing any thing to fit in goes against my independence. so not for love not for status and certianly not for money.. any one fired for refusing the shot should have filed for back wages and severance for discrimianation based on beliefs

plenty of fools who recieve their info and medical advice from talking heads on the tv…my mother once asked me if every one else was jumping off a cliff to their deaths would you go jump just because the others were doing it… from that point on i am my own man who makes my own choices based on selfish criteria. meaning i will take my own path and hope to see you on the other side…like the masses drinking jim jones special cool aid id be having none of it.

Those were my thoughts at the early stages and today, anyway. Why indeed. Political rivalry fomented by their leaders has made the left quite dumb, it seems.

97% of “Scientists” agree. Keeping your paycheck is better than not. The cocktail parties on the right side of history are a nice perk too. All science is social.

This particular variant of cowardice is common across all of the credentialed prog status professions. If there were a social status in Amerika other than feminized rainbow prog status, perhaps some men would still be doing science and not I f*cking love Science scientism. As long as the great NPR lisp in the sky determines who gets paid, its empty chests all the way down.

A similar article that focuses mainly on Peter Hotez, the bow-tied grifter….

Why Has Innovation Disappeared From Medical Research?

How grifters in academia took over the grant system.

Summary:

•Throughout the pandemic, Peter Hotez has continually promoted contradictory messages about the vaccines. However, he has been consistent in promoting the rest of his research.

•Peter Hotez has received over 100 million dollars of research grants. Much of this has been for developing a human hookworm vaccine that has not amounted to anything despite decades of research.

•Our current grant system incentivizes performing research that does not advance science and medicine. Because of this, there are many barriers to those seeking to advance those fields. Addressing those barriers is vital for the health of every person in America…

Grifting

Early this week, I shared Hotez’s events with a friend who worked for years in Ivy League academia. After a minute, they cut me off and proceeded to describe most of what I had planned to tell them. When I asked how they could predict this, they told me, “Hotez is running the standard academic grift; I see people trying to do things like this all the time. What’s unique about Hotez is simply his success—that takes a lot of talent…”

Hotez’s Grift

Hotez’s entire career (starting with a $100,000.00 grant from Pfizer) has been subsidized by the vaccine industry—he’s even proudly admitted as such on his CV. When I added up the grants there, they came out to be over 100 million dollars—which I must admit is quite an accomplishment. Furthermore, at least as far back as 2000, he has bragged about the prestige and influence this money has provided for him within academia.

Hotez is a phenomenally accomplished grifter. As this video shows, has received millions over decades to produce vaccines for “neglected tropical diseases” (which already can be easily prevented and treated).

Hotez never produced a single successful tropical vaccine. https://t.co/coVQ3QZg9x

Ivory tower ‘ expert ‘ gaslighting you.

““Trust the science” is shorthand for, “When trying to solve a problem, you’re most likely to find an effective solution by paying attention to the current scientific consensus.”

Tell again about safe & effective.
” No reputable scientist continues to claim things that have been shown to be false.”

Was driving through Idaho & there was a big highway sign flashing that said, “Do your part, stand 6 feet apart. Get vaccinated.”

Really?? It’s 2023 and they still can’t manage to change the sign. It was an electronic sign so would be very easy to change the message to something like, “If you’re experiencing cardiac issues, pull off the road as you are endangering the lives of others. Oh, and it sucks to be you, sucker.”

Stop and cut the cord to the sign, do your part to push back.
I take down all signs on doors etc when I see them, I rip them up and then ask the store owner where their garbage can is.

In that case, could you visit a little bookshop in Whitefish Montana? They have a sign on their door that says, “No white supremacists allowed.”

I looked for the science and I couldn’t find it, so I followed the money, and I found the science.

Searched a lot throughout 2020 for research papers on just about any topic having to do with the scamdemic; found some of the best work from doctors and scientists in Poland, Hungary, and South Korea. They were willing to stick their neck out with their gutsy research and tell the world their findings, even when preliminary. One group in a hospital in South Korea ran a small study on the practical use of masks-these people were on the front lines and had a vested interest in trying to understand what the hell was going on with the mask debates as people were dying in their midst. Their methods may not have been cutting edge nor did they represent a prestigeous institution, but their results were of interest and their approach showed ingenuity, given the circumstances. Yet they were ridiculed worldwide it seemed. Some whiners complained about the small size of their project. That was around March, 2020.

Interestingly, there was very little to be found from American researchers. Never could quite figure out why.

Research costs money. Universities require research and publication to remain employed. Research requires money… And the Ferris wheel goes round and round. Science is no longer a search for truth, it is a search for the dollars.

Well, if you want to keep your job as a researcher in the drug industry, you better not touch that. It is akin a history researcher investigating the holocaust. Anything but toeing the official narrative will be the end of your career and social life as you know it.
