If Public Health Cared About Public Health & Research Ethics & Vaccinologist Paul Offit Won’t Be Getting Any More COVID Shots

**UPDATE April, 2023**

This article also points out how medical doctors were bribed by insurance companies to push the experimental, fast-tracked, gene-therapy injections.  The deck has been perfectly stacked from the beginning against an unsuspecting public.

If Public Health Cared About Public Health and Research Ethics…

You would not have seen these during the push for mass vaccination.

James Lyons-Weiler
 
 

It only takes a little searching on Pubmed or Google to find factors associated with severe COVID-19.

Remember when the master wizards of Public Health decided to appeal to Americans to vaccinate for the “reward” of

Hamburgers?

(Watch comedian Jim Breuer dismantle de Blasio’s free french fries if you get the jab)

That’s former Mayor de Blasio, who evidently will now be teaching “Public Health” at Harvard University.

Or, remember when they tried to incentivize Americans to vaccinate with doughnuts?

And beer?

Michigan, California and few other states encouraged gambling as an incentive to vaccinate:

How about some participation in a nice, healthy sex trade practice (hey, they’re masked at least!)?

No, seriously, Toronto actually did this.

Even Larry Flynt got into the craze… want to get a vaccine at his joint?

These incentives were the brainchild of Public Health and the Biden Administration:

Here at Popular Rationalism, we prefer to stick with the Science:

“Several hundred studies provide powerful evidence that body mass index (BMI) is a strong linear risk factor for severe COVID-19 outcomes, with recent studies suggesting ~5-10% higher risk for COVID-19 hospitalisation per every kg/m2 higher BMI.”

The review says nothing about the effects of lap dances or gambling on the risk of severe COVID-19.

However, it’s worth pointing out that incentives for research are unethical.

See HHS’s

Attachment A – Addressing Ethical Concerns Offers of Payment to Research Participants

“OHRP FAQs  currently define undue influence as potentially occurring ‘through an offer of an excessive or inappropriate reward or other overture in order to obtain compliance.’”

The vaccines only had Emergency Use Authorization. Everyone who gave such incentives is guilty of “offering an excessive or inappropriate reward or other overture” to get people to comply with participation in human subjects research.

And never, ever forget the cruelty that took place under the guise of ‘public health’.

I must also add the nonstop ads pushed by celebrities, politicians, film/cartoons, etc. as well as the fact our own government (HHS) coughed up $1 BILLION to promote the shots.

Is Paul Offit a Sitting Duck for ADE?

Read his position on why he won’t be taking the bivalent “booster”. CDC’s data suggests he might be in a group of people who could be in trouble. Let’s hope not.

 
James Lyons-Weiler

According to MedPage Today, Dr. Paul Offit of Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia, a well-known vaccine zealot and well-known apologist for aluminum toxicity against evidence, has decided that he’s had enough of COVID-19 vaccines. He won’t be getting another booster or the updated, bivalent vaccine. Yes, you read that right.

Medpage Today quotes him thusly:

“I have received three doses of the ancestral strain vaccine and contracted a mild case of COVID in May. As a result, all the evidence suggests that I have high frequencies of virus-specific memory B and T cells, which should protect me against severe disease this winter.”

Offit continues:

“I do not plan to get another dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines until it is clear that people who have been primed, boosted, and naturally infected are nonetheless at high risk of serious illness when encountering the virus.”

Here’s the question:

How do you tell the difference between vaccine failure and disease enhancement, as in antibody-dependent enhancement? Answer: with vaccine failure, you get asymptomatic disease.

With ADE, you get severe illness.

When Offit sees the data from CDC, he is going to find that people who have been primed and boosted may be susceptible to increased risk of hospitalization if they are infected with newer variants, due to ADE.

According to CDC, as of Sep. 07, 108,953,688 Americans had received a booster, or 48.6 percent of the country’s fully vaccinated population.

Also according to CDC, 75.5% of adult Americans have been “fully vaccinated”.

According to math, 48.6%  of 75.5% = 36.69% are, at this time, boosted

The reports that 44% of those hospitalized were boosted (e.g., WebMd citing CDC data) does not bode well for the booster program, and here’s why:

At COVID-19 vaccine program effectiveness = 0, the rate would be 36.7% of the hospitalized were boosted. But instead, it’s 44%. HIGHER than expected.

This implies negative effectiveness.

This is the full report with the concerning results that support negative effectiveness of boosting.

I’m not sure yet how those who also, like Offit, had a SARS-CoV-2 infection will fare, and will of course I hope everyone, injected or not, does well this winter, I suspect many will not. Perhaps (and I hope) Offit’s immunity from the SARS-CoV-2 infection will have provided him with diverse B- and T-cells to antigens other than the spike protein.

It seems likely given Omicron’s R0 (ease of spread) that nearly everyone who has been vaccinated likely by now has also had an infection. This “silent boosting” in the vaccinated via natural infection was reported years ago by Japanese medical researchers in Japan.

Here’s Dr. Vinay Prasad discussing some of the problem. He does a good job calling out a doctor (Robert Califf, Commissioner of Food and Drugs of the FDA) for claiming on Twitter that the bivalent vaccine will protect people with zero data from humans in the second sentence of Califf’s tweet.

But Prasad does not seem to recognize the implications of CDC’s data showing negative effectiveness; he thinks Califf’s first sentence is a-ok. And he reports Offit’s refusal of the bivalent booster near the end, too, providing 11 reasons why an annual COVID-19 “booster” is not like an annual flu shot.

NB: I need everyone on Twitter to Tweet this with #BringBackJack. Let Califf and Twitter know that by shutting down my account, they have activated the masses.

NB2: The artwork used in this Substack article involves a doctor duck image. In no way is this meant to imply anything about Dr. Offit other than the potential self-imposed risk of ADE implied by the title of this article.

**Comment**

Prasad states that the first reason the COVID shot is not like the flu vaccine is due to the COVID shot being more reactogenic or causes more reactions/adverse effects. While this statement isn’t false, it by omission makes you believe the flu vaccine doesn’t cause negative reactions. That would be a false belief.

I have sat across the table from twenty year old Lyme/MSIDS patients who were doing fine, had their infections under control, got the flu vaccine and then everything went to hell in a hand basket.

Vaccines can serve as triggers to reactivate latent infections. Patients NEED to know this and contemplate the risk. But, due to politics, few doctors are honest enough to truly give informed consent.

But, you are now duly warned.

Despite The ‘Pandemic’ Being Over & Companies Dropping “Vaccine” Mandates, Wisconsin Healthcare Workers With Religious, Medical Exemptions Must Get Novavax COVID Shot or Lose Job

The COVID dominoes have started to fall.  This is seen clearly by the onslaught of world leaders who are suddenly trying to distance themselves from a botched COVID approach including Biden declaring suddenly that the ‘pandemic’ is over.

It appears a few haven’t gotten the memo. 

Despite many companies dropping “vaccine” mandates, and a summary judgement declaring a mayor’s “vaccine” mandate illegal, Wisconsin healthcare workers who had religious or medical exemptions must now get the Novavax COVID shot or lose their jobs.

Some media outlets claimed Novavax — made with recombinant moth-cell-based nanoparticle technology, the problematic surfactant polysorbate 80 and a never-before-approved nanoparticulate adjuvant called Matrix-M — is “free of side effects.”

However, the day after the FDA issued its Novavax authorization, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) updated its product information for the Novavax shot to disclose “new” side effects.

The EMA’s list of side effects included “severe allergic reaction [anaphylaxis] and unusual or decreased feeling in the skin” (called paresthesia and hypoesthesia, respectively).

In addition, the EMA said it would assess myocarditis and pericarditis as Novavax side effects — safety signals that also were on display in the FDA’s briefing document on Novavax.

And in clinical trials, older adults who received the Novavax vaccine experienced an increased incidence of hypertension compared to those in the placebo group.  Source

So utilizing fetal cells isn’t the only problem here. 

Dr. Meryl Nass states that there are safety concerns over Matrix-M, and the toxic spike protein – both adjuvants used in Novavax.  Others are concerned about heart inflammation, blood clots, and the fact it was also designed for use against the original COVID strain, not Omicron or other variants dominant today.  

The hospital in question is Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin which operates 11 hospitals and more than 45 health centers and clinics throughout the midwest and employs more than 2,000 physicians.

The hospital said in a statement:

“Froedtert Health requires staff and providers be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as a federal requirement that is monitored for compliance. We join many other health systems around southeast Wisconsin and the U.S. that have made vaccination a condition of employment.

“The Novavax vaccination for COVID-19 is now available. This protein-based vaccination option eliminates conflicts for those staff with religious or medical exemptions caused by mRNA-based vaccines and other concerns.

“Since those staff are now eligible for a vaccination that does not conflict with their religious beliefs or medical situation, their exemption will expire. This affects a small percentage of staff with a vaccine exemption. Eligible staff continue to be exempt from a COVID-19 vaccine for religious and medical reasons.

“Froedtert Health respects the right of staff and providers to engage in activity protected by state and federal law.”

The key point here is that hospitals have chosen money over people due to the CARES Act giving hospitals financial kickbacks for complying with federal dictates despite science to the contrary, as well through ignoring individual medical freedom and informed consent. These brutal dictates have kept people from effective COVID treatment, forced them into isolation without any say in their healthcare, and into using toxic, expensive FDA approved drugs and treatments.

Hospitals have become modern day killing fields.

Unscientific mandates have forced medical workers, the military, children who want to attend many schools, and many workers to be “vaccinated” with a mRNA gene therapy injection which doesn’t stop infection, transmission, severe hospitalization or death and has been linked to more adverse reactions and death than any other vaccine in the history of VAERS.

A side effect of forcing health care employees, despite their health status and beliefs, to be “vaccinated” is staffing shortages due to workers leaving in droves. It has also caused some workers to start up their own medical care facilities and consulting companies that don’t accept federal funding. 

Good for them and us.

Having to go outside mainstream medicine is not new to Lyme/MSIDS patients due to the politicization which interferes with patients getting proper help. The exact same politicization exists with COVID and doctors who treat outside the box of corrupt public health are ostracized, banned, censored, and persecuted.

Time to break the public health monopoly.  Do not give the CDC one more dime.

The best way to fight this tyranny is with your feet and with your voice.  Support independent doctors, avoid hospitals if you can, and vote for those who actually care about patients – not Big Pharma and politics as usual.  Patients deserve the ability to partner with their practitioners for the best health care and this partnership is an individualized one not a government, top down “one size fits all” allopathic paradigm.

Act now before private medicine is completely absorbed into the statist-corporate complex.

Biden Declares ‘Pandemic’ is Over & “Zero COVID” NZ Prime Minister Pulls a Sunak and Suddenly Does An About Face

**UPDATE**

This 15 min video goes through the chronology and how unscientific lockdowns came to rule the land and how they haven’t worked to deter COVID in any way; however, they have caused untold damage like suicides, lack of education, mental health issues, etc.

The COVID Dominoes Have Started to Fall

Similarly to mainstream media which follows a singular script, suddenly world leaders are reading off the same teleprompter proving the naked absurdity of global public health.

In an interview on “60 Minutes” Sunday night, President Biden said the COVID-19 pandemic is “over” in the United States, despite conflicting messaging from Fauci, HHS, and Reuters, who all stand to gain by keeping the ‘plandemic’ going.  As pointed out in this article, since the whole PCR debacle is still with us and the CDC has yet to issue an adjustment factor for false positives the actual number of real COVID cases is still unknown.The same thing is true for deaths due to the whole “died with” vs “died from” debacle. The Office of Inspector General (IG) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a report concluding the FDA overused Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) resulting in faulty COVID tests reaching the market that otherwise might not have.  One such test is the “free” at-home antigen test which has the toxic chemical sodium azide in it which is colorless, tasteless, and odorless and which is used as a propellant in airbags and in pest control.

COVID ends as it began: as a political ploy.

The question that needs to be answered is “if it’s over, why the continued emergency,” and why the continued mandates?

Biden’s declaration is right on the heels of the admission by CDC director Walensky stating the organization kinda botched the COVID response. Despite the admission; however, she wants more tax dollars. And the organization is getting more.  A lot more.  There’s been a 356.9% increase in funding relative to 2022 to the tune of $39 BILLION.

But Biden and Walensky aren’t alone.  Recently former UK chancellor Rishi Sunak is attempting to distance himself from the ‘plandemic’ debacle by stating he disagreed with his government’s COVID response from the beginning.  He was promptly and soundly called out on this fabrication by his countrymen.  Neil Oliver stated it simply:

“Sunack squeaks that he was on the right side of history but powerless.  What absolute twaddle.  He was arguably the second most powerful figure in government. By his own admission he went along with all that was done to us.” 

Then, there’s the lockdown happy New Zealander Prime Minister Rita Panahi suddenly doing an about face as well after some ugly poll numbers and protests.

Mandates Ending in New Zealand

Next to China, New Zealand’s Covid restrictions have been some of the most authoritarian and inhumane in the world. A once confident Prime Minister, Jacinda Arden, had no problem dividing her people and has now suddenly switched to supporting individual choice. Are people buying it?

Please, don’t buy it.

Oliver gives this important warning:

“The COVID and lockdown double act is expendable. They’ve rung all the juice they are ever going to get out of that rotten fruit and now it’s ready to be cast aside. Or maybe it will just go on the back burner while other fresher concoctions are brought forward.  Either way, someone somewhere seems to have decided it’s time to move on.

This article goes over the fresher concoctions currently being rolled out – all of which are huge money and power grabs.

It appears they haven’t quite rung all the juice out of the COVID ‘plandemic’  as the government and employers continue to mandate EUA injections that don’t stop transmission, infection, severe hospitalization or even death but are linked to more adverse events and death than another other vaccine in the history of VAERS.

Let us never forget the thousands that have been fired and bullied over refusing to get an experimental gene therapy injection.

Former nurse Tawny Buettner gives emotional speech about losing her job due to “vaccine” mandate

Sept. 14, 2022

Buettner was a nurse for 13 years in the cardiovascular care unit where she took care of children with myocarditis after the COVID shots. She states that these reactions were not being reported to VAERS. She states it was an unspoken thing that they were not allowed to talk openly about it in the unit.

“I am the face of your misinformation, Nathan. I am the one who lost my career in pediatric, cardiovascular ICU care.” ~ Nurse Tawny Buettner

CDC & WHO: Beyond Hope & Rehabilitation

CDC Director, Rachelle Walensky recently admitted that her organization kinda botched COVID and needs to have an overhaul or “reset,” due to mistakes.  She also was quoted by ABC stating, “CDC needs to better” serve our partners…..

These partners “donated” $317 million to the CDC for COVID in 2021 alone from private foundations like the Gates Foundation as well as pharmaceutical industry players who’ve made tens of billions off falsely labeled, dangerous, often times ineffective products.  The CDC is listed on the Dun and Bradstreet corporate directory.  “Donations” are funneled through the CDC Foundation – an independent nonprofit to avoid oversight. The CDC’s operating budget has averaged about $7.2 BILLION from our taxes per year since 2016. It’s budget was $10 billion in 2008 before Congressional investigations found that the agency wastes millions and spends lavishly.

The GAVI Alliance, Imperial College London, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Johns Hopkins University, Pfizer, and many, many more have all generously “donated” to the CDC and have also received grants from the Gates Foundation, perfectly demonstrating the incestuous relationships – all directing public health.

Walensky’s solution?  Rearrange some furniture and bring in some potted plants.
Oh – one other thing: they want more tax dollars.

According to Stand for Health Freedom, “The President’s FY2023 budget would increase the CDC’s budget from just under $9 billion dollars to $38.76 billion, a 356.9% increase relative to 2022.”

So, the CDC chronically lies, miserably fails to do its job, but gets a 357% increase in funding?

Anyone out there feeling me yet?

Can you understand now why I am diametrically opposed to Lyme Disease Organization’s (LDO) suggestion that we should “fund and support a directive for CDC to conduct a review of CDC webpages and the current continuing education modules?”

This isn’t just a “no”.  This is a “hell no”.

More money will not make the CDC honest.  Their long track record doesn’t lie.
The CDC is irredeemable and beyond all hope.

The CDC is so blatantly wrong on so many things it’s now needing to conduct damage control.  They are not apologizing, they are not coming clean, and they are not offering meaningful change – which it never does and which it simply is incapable of.

While Corrupt public health “prioritizes misinformation,” they are the worst spreaders of ‘misinformation.’ These organizations lie, repeatedly and never come clean.

Similarly to the UK’s former chancellor attempting to pass himself off as a harmless passenger on the sinking COVID Titanic, the CDC is attempting to downplay the fact that it drove public health policy regarding COVID into a brick wall.  It is directly behind the persecution of doctors by the AMA and other professional medical organizations, including the pharmacy organization which refuses to fill prescriptions for successful drugs for COVID other than the FDA “approved” drugs it has vested interests in, allowing thousands to needlessly die.  These organizations are coming after their own members for speaking anything but the accepted narrative. The organization is behind doctors pushing a “one size fits all” allopathic approach to medicine which will continue to fail again and again. It is also behind dangerous “vaccine” mandates which have killed and maimed untold numbers.

No.  The CDC did not make a few mistakes.  The organization, along with the NIH, FDA, and WHO are colossally corrupt with evil intent.

Recently, the Lancet Commission called for transformation of the WHO in a 58 page report which essentially states they simply need more money as well as it needs to create ambitious proposals to ignite a renaissance in multilateralism, integrating the global response to the risk of future pandemics with actions to address the climate crisis and reversals in sustainable development.

Again, the problem here isn’t about money and the climate.  It’s about honesty.

The Lancet Commission’s paper is chillingly straight out of the World Economic Forum’s handbook.  A few points:

  • multilateralism = globalism = unifying public health data systems to better control countries and people. This would supersede the Constitution and give people no local oversight or control making us all virtual prisoners under whatever maniacal tyrant is in control at the time
  • Bill Gates is the #1 funder of the WHO which also has an allegiance to Big Pharma, other industries, and China.  WHO Corruption runs deep.

While the Lancet Commission calls out the global failure of the “staggering death toll,” they omit the greatest reason for these deaths: censored, banned, and maligned early treatment that has been proven to work if given appropriately and in a timely manner.  The commission states, “We must face hard truths,” yet they refuse to do so. Despite the abysmal failure of the COVID gene therapy injections, that are linked to more adverse reactions and death than any other vaccine in the history of VAERS, they further state, “a global vaccine-plus strategy needs to be established, combined with public health and financial measures to control infection…. The faster the world can act to vaccinate everybody….the better the prospects….”

This commission has learned nothing.

They make zero mention of the importance of simple but critical things that make people tougher targets for disease such as nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, sleep, at-home remedies, and a myriad of other important topics.

No amount of money can fix corruption and stupidity.

Studies Show Doctors Still Rely on “Non-Evidence Based” Judgement in the Absence of RCT’s

**COMMENT**

I post this information because it’s a rampant issue in Lymeland.  Doctors have simply stopped thinking.  They now follow dictates from government bureaucrats in Washington who are in bed with Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Media, and research institutions.

We desperately need to break the public health monopoly and allow doctors the freedom to think again.  As it stands, doctors are afraid to diagnose and treat  Lyme/MSIDS patients, COVID patients, and any other disease that is being politically controlled.

2 Studies Showing Doctors Still Rely on “Non-Evidence Based” Judgement in the Absence of RCT’s

It’s only certain covid treatments where there’s nihilistic clinical paralysis

Ashmedai

One of the more damning behaviors by the medical community throughout the pandemic was what Dr. McCullough termed “therapeutic nihilism” – the systematic refusal to even try treating covid patients. Doctors the world over fell victim to their own unique mass formation psychosis whereby they suddenly ‘forgot’ how to apply their knowledge and experience to a patient with a novel disease condition – in other words, the very act of “doctoring”.  (See link for article)

_________________

A Few points:

  • ‘It’s the incentives, stupid’.  People generally act in consonance with what they are incentivized to do.  The Cares Act incentivized hospitals and doctors to only use FDA “approved” treatments that government employees own the patents on and benefit financially from.

  • Dr. Kory reported6 that after the first few months of covid, nursing homes tried Ivermectin and saw that it worked, which was a big part of why nursing homes were a tiny % of covid deaths after being responsible for the lion’s share of covid mortality at the beginning.
  • Nursing homes and other types of long-term care facilities only make money on patients who are living. Thus they were incentivized to keep their patient populations alive, which they did. (It helped that nursing homes have in-house pharmacies too, so they could compound their own Ivermectin without dealing with the government bureaucracies or medical cartel organizations.)
  • Hospitals, on the other hand, were financially incentivized to:
