Safe and Effective®

The British Medical Journal;

Whether Pfizer’s maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine candidate increases the risk of preterm birth dominated discussions at a meeting last week of the committee advising the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).1 While all members of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) voted positively on efficacy, four out of 14 voted that the data were not adequate to support safety.

As The BMJ revealed earlier this month,2 Pfizer’s clinical trials showed increased levels of preterm births among vaccinated women, and GSK, which was working on a similar vaccine, halted vaccination in its phase 3 trials after observing an increase in neonatal deaths and preterm births.34

Paul Offit, professor of paediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and VRBPAC member who voted “no” on safety, said at the meeting that he had “no problem” with efficacy. On safety, however, “the GSK experience” troubled him.5 “If preterm births are in any way a consequence of this vaccine it would be tragic.”

In Pfizer’s phase 2 trial, there were three preterm births (2.6%) in the placebo group v six (5.3%) in the vaccine group. In the phase 3 trial, which studied preterm births as an “adverse event of special interest,” 5.7% of babies were born preterm among vaccinated women v 4.7% in the placebo group. There was also an imbalance in babies with low birth weight (5.1% in the vaccine group v 4.4% in the placebo group).6 None of the differences were statistically significant.

It’s insignificant that the statistically insignificant differences all go in the same direction.

  1. My employer assured me that it was just a coincidence that ‘the new girl in accounting’ always made mistakes on my paycheck in the company’s favor and never accidentally over paid me.

  2. Death Jabs. Start jabbing your child early,so they can be unhealthy longer!

  3. It appears that skepticism (or perhaps a better word is cynicism) towards COVID vaccines is morphing into skepticism towards all vaccines.

    That has the potential to become very dangerous, as it could cause a resurgence of previously tamed diseases. In fact, we’ve seen some of that already with scarlet fever, mumps, measles, and so on.

    1. It’s already dangerous and has already gotten tons of people killed by COVID for no good reason.

      1. I always thought “smart” people that covered their ass, where the weakest and most dangerous human beings you could meet.
        Life’s shown me I was right on the money.
        I’d rather be a cynic, than blissfully ignorant.
        Blissful ignorance got us here.

          1. And there you have it. When cornered, Un(believable)Me resorts to name calling, like the typical rat-fink lie-beral that he is. (What’s good for the goose, Un.)
            BTW, Un… Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE those people died from COVID?
            (of course you are. what was I thinking asking a silly question like that?)
            That is somewhat debatable at this point, but you wouldn’t want to participate in that debate, wouldn’t you?
            Of course you wouldn’t, because you know that if you did, you’d get your posterior kicked to beyond tomorrow.

          2. You are just plain ignorant. Covid was a nothing burger but the vaxxes are deadly. Now take another booster, we are tired of your level of stupid.

      2. Except the hard evidence does not back that up. A lot of sloppy, weak evidence does, but that establishes nothing.

    2. “It appears that skepticism (or perhaps a better word is cynicism) towards COVID vaccines is morphing into skepticism towards all vaccines.” It is . . . And with good reason. The effectiveness of vaccines has been overrated, and the risks underrated. Vaccines are very controversial and may not be the miracle treatment they have been portrayed as. Turtles All the Way Down is a recent publication from Israel that documents this.

      1. “The effectiveness of vaccines has been overrated, and the risks underrated”

        Both of those statements are complete lies.

          1. VAERS explicitly states that it’s entries are not to be used to draw conclusions from, but rather to indicate where proper scientific investigation might be called for.

            But no, you use it exactly how you’re not to use it.

        1. Says the liar… Projection is, after all, your specialty, isn’t it, un(believable)me?

          You’re sounding a lot like Progressive Pat at this point. I’d expect Pat to come on board and salute you for your persistence in the way that we all have come to admire.

    3. Mumps and measles weren’t considered dangerous diseases when I was a kid and I’m not aware of any surge in childhood deaths between then and the advent of vaccination. RFK Jr. still says the increase in autism is due to childhood vaccines. Everyone says he’s delusional, but nobody points to research to back up their outrage. In both cases, que bono?

      1. I remember waking up one school day. Feeling like crap, barely able to talk telling mom how I felt from the top of the stairs in a crackling voice.
        And I still smile thinking of what she said , ” you have mumps go back to bed”.
        If vaccinations are going to be handled like the last fk them.
        Science earned it.
        The subjects deserved better.
        And that’s the truth.
        Now let’s have justice.
        And until that happens science will suffer.
        And it should.

    4. KM, that is a bit disingenuous. I think RSV “vaccine” is another MRNA type? They cannot be lumped with vaccines generally as they are different animals.

    5. When you lie to people and they find out, expect kickback. And it’s coming fast and hard. By the way, the other vaccines actually work….these don’t.

  4. As Jordan Peterson says, tongue firmly in cheek, “Why worry? It’s only fertility.”

  5. “It’s insignificant that the statistically insignificant differences all go in the same direction.”

    It indeed is. You’d know that if you knew anything about statistics.

    1. Oh, come on now! This is really Progressive Pat posting, isn’t it? It has to be. Not even the real UnMe could be that dense!

      Either that, or UnMe is trolling, as he usually does, when he runs out of lies to defend his party’s insane policies.

  6. Take a look at Dr. David Martin’s presentation at the EU Parliament this week.

  7. Sure.. when only the conclusion is controversial.. What’s the point of it all anyway?.. Think of it as first born son syndrome.. No matter what crimes he commits his is and will always be the apple of mom and dads eye..

    The dividend of love is often worthless to the shareholders.. Its not that mom and dad don’t care, its that they cant.. It hits too close to home.. The rouges gallery of politicians and health officials and their questionable motives will never see the light of day..

    Its best you move out and create your own wealth and family.. Then you can also pretend to care :)..

  8. Tried to post this earlier but for some reason it didn’t make it. Thanks to Red Pop for reminding me to look it back up.
