It’s not the vaccine, read.

The Office of the Attorney General’s Civil Medicaid Fraud Division has sued Pfizer, Inc., Tris Pharma, Inc. and Tris CEO Ketan Mehta for defrauding the Texas Medicaid program by providing adulterated pharmaceutical drugs to Texas children in violation of the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act, now known as the Texas Health Care Program Fraud Prevention Act (“THFPA”).

Pfizer contracted with Tris, a drug manufacturer, to produce a pediatric attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder medication (“ADHD”), Quillivant XR. Pfizer knowingly distributed Quillivant to children on Medicaid despite the drug’s pattern of failing quality control tests due to flawed manufacturing practices. For years, Tris altered the drug’s testing method in violation of federal and state laws to ensure Quillivant passed regulatory hurdles and could continue to be sold.

Stockholm Syndrome

In a move that should surprise no one, Australian actress Melle Stewart is suing AstraZeneca for severe injuries caused by their Covid vaccine.

Ms. Stewart received her first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on May 24, 2021.

Two weeks later, she began having seizures, lost her ability to speak, and lost all movement on the right-hand side of her body.

Brain surgeons diagnosed her with Vaccine-Induced Thrombocytopenic Thrombosis (VITT), a blood-clotting condition that the manufacturer and the regulators now acknowledge as a “very rare side effect” of this particular vaccine.

The actual surprise, however, is this jaw-dropping admission:

Despite the issues I’ve had due to the Astra Zeneca vaccine, I am proud to say that I have gone on to receive multiples doses of the Pfizer vaccine and I remain a staunch advocate for vaccination.

John Campbell- Excess deaths in 2023

Insurance Newsnet- ‘Excess mortality’ continuing surge causes concerns

Despite some signs that excess mortality rates are declining, life insurance executives and actuaries believe the numbers are alarming and could continue to drag earnings and surge death claims for years to come.

If there is ever a conflict between the guidelines and the evidence we follow the guidelines.

Forgot what?

You can tell that a narrative is failing badly when the authorities have to engage in gaslighting to generate some interest. But it’s too late for that anyway.

According to government officials, every province and territory now has supply of at least one updated mRNA vaccine, but public awareness efforts have plummeted in recent years, with many Canadians no longer seeing the urgency to get booster shots.

“It seems to me that we are sort of experiencing COVID amnesia,” Dr. Nazeem Muhajarine, professor of community health and epidemiology at the University of Saskatchewan, told The Canadian Press.

Tunnel vision

Interesting to note that the mainstream media professes this much angst over a drug whose effectiveness and side effects might be problematic, while the safety and effectiveness of another drug that we’ve heard so much about over the past two years warrants little else besides relentless cheerleading.

With limited research on its effectiveness against pain, some experts worry the U.S. may be repeating mistakes that gave rise to the opioid crisis: overprescribing a questionable drug that carries significant safety and abuse risks.

“There’s a paucity of options for pain and so there’s a tendency to just grab the next thing that can make a difference,” said Dr. Padma Gulur, a Duke University pain specialist who is studying ketamine’s use. “A medical journal will publish a few papers saying, `Oh, look, this is doing good things,’ and then there’s rampant off-label use, without necessarily the science behind it.”

Misinformed consent?

This ad popped up on my Facebook feed today. At first I thought it might be a parody, since I have to question why a pharma company would call their product Spikevax. But it’s a real product, and what’s noticeable is the presence of a couple of disclaimers: it’s not 100% effective, and it may have side effects. Naturally, there’s no indication of what the level of actual effectiveness is, nor any listing of what side effects you might experience. I’d suggest a new slogan: “Sorry, consumers, you might be flying blind”

 

Mixed messaging

If anyone wants to know why so many people are vaccine hesitant these days, they only need to examine the ways in which the “experts” cannot get their own stories straight.

Federal, provincial and territorial governments’ public awareness campaigns continued over the next few years, actively promoting booster shots to protect against waning immunity — but the uptake was considerably lower.

And then, in the very same article:

Calling the XBB.1.5 vaccine a “booster” is not scientifically accurate and may lead people to underestimate its significance, he said.

“It is not a booster dose. It is a new vaccine reformulation,” Muhajarine said.

“We are not trying to boost previous vaccine doses,” he said. “We are trying to elicit an immune response to this current circulating variant.”

What would we do without expert urging?

Older adults who received last year’s COVID booster and a high-dose version of the flu vaccine in the same visit may have a potential increased risk of stroke, according to a new FDA-funded study.

Experts urged that the results were preliminary and may be explained by other factors such as the fact that older adults are already at a higher risk for stroke due to their age.

“There is no need for panic, and emphatically no need to stop giving COVID and flu shots at the same time to older adults,” said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, while he reiterated that more research is needed.

Medrxiv- Safety of Monovalent BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech), mRNA-1273 (Moderna), and NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax) COVID-19 Vaccines in US Children Aged 6 months to 17 years

In this study including 4,102,106 vaccinated enrollees from three commercial claims databases, myocarditis or pericarditis signaled after BNT162b2 (12-17 years) and a new signal was detected for seizures/convulsions after BNT162b2 (2-4 years) and mRNA1273 COVID-19 vaccinations (2-5 years).

Not only did the shots not protect you they didn’t protect others either.

Northwestern Now- COVID patients breathe large amounts of virus early on

Vaccinated and unvaccinated patients exhale similar levels of virus over the course of infection, the research shows.

MedRxiv- Quantity of SARS-CoV-2 RNA copies exhaled per minute during natural breathing over the course of COVID-19 infection

We further found that levels of exhaled viral RNA increased with self-rated symptom-severity, though individual variation was high. Levels of exhaled viral RNA did not differ across age, sex, time of day, vaccination status or viral variant. Our data provide a fine-grained, direct measure of the number of SARS-CoV-2 viral copies exhaled per minute during natural breathing—including 312 breath specimens collected multiple times daily over the course of infection—in order to fill an important gap in our understanding of the time course of exhaled viral loads in COVID-19.

“Deception”

“Everything that Anthony Fauci and his cohorts, these other virologists were saying publicly, they were saying the opposite privately,” Paul said. “Then it turns out that many of the people that were appointed to be part of this all had quiet interests that they weren’t willing to reveal. Including Anthony Fauci. When I asked him directly under oath whether or not he was receiving royalties from any of the companies manufacturing vaccines, he refused to answer. When I asked him whether anybody on the committee was receiving royalties he lashed out and accused me of something but would never answer the question.”

The rest is here.

Fool me once….

Three years ago, the principle of informed consent was unceremoniously dumped as a guidepost for public health matters. Most of the population seemed to have nearly limitless confidence in those who employed central planning to manage a pandemic response. Despite the subsequent train wreck, we are still seeing many individuals professing shock that they have been misled, once again.

When Brad MacLeod visited a pharmacy in Ancaster last week to get a COVID-19 vaccination, he was quite pleased. It was his sixth shot. But that happiness turned to alarm the next morning when MacLeod checked his vaccine certificate and realized he had received the same bivalent COVID-19 shot he received last November instead of the one he wanted — the new monovalent vaccine targeting the XBB.1.5 subvariant.

And who knew that the U of T has a Faculty of Information?

“There’s so much confusion around emerging variants and new vaccines and which protects against which that it’s very difficult for experts to stay abreast of what’s going on,” said Colin Furness, assistant professor with the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information…
