Covid-19 vaccines – read the small print

I know, it can be tedious, but do yourself a favour and read the small print on the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine. Time required: about 10 minutes. Benefit: you understand that launching a widespread Covid-19 vaccination campaign is probably not a good idea, and you might want to give this one at least a miss

On 2 December Pfizer and BioNTech proudly announced that they have had their Covid-19 poison vaccine authorized In the UK. The disclosure notice is quite a bit of fun to read in itself. Allow me to quote (I’ve highlighted a few juicy bits):

The information contained in this release is as of December 2, 2020. Pfizer assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this release as the result of new information or future events or developments. This release contains forward-looking information about Pfizer’s efforts to combat COVID-19 … that involves substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the uncertainties inherent in research and development, including the ability to meet anticipated clinical endpoints, commencement and/or completion dates for clinical trials, regulatory submission dates, regulatory approval dates and/or launch dates, as well as risks associated with clinical data (including the Phase 3 data), including the possibility of unfavorable new preclinical or clinical trial data and further analyses of existing preclinical or clinical trial data; the ability to produce comparable clinical or other results, including the rate of vaccine effectiveness and safety and tolerability profile observed to date, in additional analyses of the Phase 3 trial or in larger, more diverse populations upon commercialization; the risk that clinical trial data are subject to differing interpretations and assessments, including during the peer review/publication process, in the scientific community generally, and by regulatory authorities; whether and when data from the BNT162 mRNA vaccine program will be published in scientific journal publications and, if so, when and with what modifications; whether regulatory authorities will be satisfied with the design of and results from these and any future preclinical and clinical studies

It goes on and on in that same rambling “don’t ever point the finger at us” tone. That’s in addition to already having secured immunity from liability if the vaccine should cause damage in those who receive it.

But even more interesting than this press release is the document for UK health professionals which is available on the UK Government website here, with more detailed information on the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2.

There are a series of common or very common side effects which most people could put up with, such as headache, fever, joint pains, fatigue, chills, nausea. So if you insist on getting the jab, you’d probably be better off not driving to the clinic yourself.

The more interesting points are the following:

  • It is unknown what happens if you’re on some other kind of medication, let alone other vaccines, including other Covid-19 vaccines.
  • Pregnant women should not take this vaccine, and you should not fall pregnant for 2 months after the second dose.
  • Don’t breastfeed if you have been vaccinated – “a risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded”
  • And to top it off: “it is unknown whether [the vaccine] has an impact on fertility.

There is no mention of possible autoimmune reactions, but again, there is no way this can currently been ruled out, and some medical experts have raised that concern, for example here. And on 1 December Michael Yeaden and Wolfgang Wodarg also petitioned the European Medicines Agency to stay the ongoing phase 3 trials, also in relation to the Pfizer vaccine, as the study design is defective. Paragraphs VIII to XII are particularly worth reading.

The claim of 95% effectiveness of this vaccine is in my view an utter joke. Pfizer ran just two in-house studies. Neither of them are impressive. The first study had just 60 subjects. For the second study, the subjects were assessed whether they had contracted Covid-19 only 7 days after they received their second vaccination. I repeat: 7 days!!!

Everything about these vaccines is rushed, and that is exactly the reason why it is completely irresponsible and criminal by our governments to foist these vaccines on a largely unsuspecting population.
