Read Part One
If we accept the fascinating future presented by the Star Trek TV and film franchise, doctors will still be administering vaccines in the 23rd century… although perhaps only a single dose will be needed.
A friend sent me a link to a YouTube video last week, wherein author and personality Dr. David Martin attempts to explain that the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are not actually vaccines.
Yes, I have been watching a lot of YouTube lately.
Here’s a link to the video, titled, “Hidden in Plain Sight”.
Dr. Martin comes across as highly intelligent and supremely confident, which we can imagine will win him a large number of YouTube subscribers. (The above-linked video had been viewed about 72,000 times when I watched it.) He appears in his recent videos accompanied by his lovely partner, Kim, who offers occasional comments. The good doctor is clearly skeptical of what we are currently being told by the public health industry.
In order to convince us that the new vaccines that everyone is referring to as “vaccines” are not actually vaccines, Dr. Martin quotes the legal description of what a vaccine is, according to two sources…
So why don’t we actually look at the laws, where vaccine has been defined — and it turns out that’s a much harder exercise than you would think. Because “vaccine”, the term, is actually not a legally defined term in an enormous number of statutes that govern vaccines, which is actually a really interesting thing. But let’s look at some examples. I just pulled a couple examples.
From the Iowa code.
“Vaccine” — and I am quoting — means a specially prepared antigen administered to a person for the purpose of providing immunity. “Immunity” — once again, the operative definition — which is to say that, when exposed to a pathogen, you are not susceptible.
That’s the Iowa code. How about Washington state?…
…”Vaccine” — legally defined term — means a preparation of a killed or attenuated living microorganism, or fraction thereof.
Just stop right there. Vaccine means a preparation of a killed or attenuated living microorganism. Stop right there. And mRNA synthetically developed by Moderna and Pfizer do not meet this definition…
Not many of us have a ‘Dr.’ designation in front of our names, as Dr. Martin does, and we may not have any initials after our names, like “PhD”. What we might have, however, is a measure of common sense, and perhaps a healthy measure of skepticism.
Like Dr. Martin, I am skeptical of what we are told by governments and corporations, and the media. But forgive me if I’m also skeptical of folks like Dr. Martin.
Dr. Martin suggests in his video, that the “vaccines” currently being distributed in the US are not “vaccines” because they are not “preparations of a killed or attenuated living microorganism”. From what I’ve read, Dr. Martin is partly correct. The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines reportedly contain genetically engineered RNA strands. An RNA strand is not a living microorganism.
Unlike the ‘natural’ vaccines that have been around since at least 1796 — when Dr. Edward Jenner began popularizing the smallpox vaccine in England — the coronavirus vaccines we are seeing administered in the US are generically engineered — technically referred to as ‘recombinant vaccines’. The Hepatitis B vaccine currently used in the United States is a recombinant vaccine, as is the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. A new recombinant flu vaccine recently received FDA approaval.
Does this mean genetically engineered vaccines are not “vaccines”? Dr. Martin, in suggesting that they are not, seems to be bucking the entire public health industry. But his arguments might appeal to certain people who believe the public health industry to be corrupt.
In his video, Dr. Martin also raises questions around the idea of “immunity”. Do the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna inoculations prevent infection? And do they prevent transmission?
I believe, based on what I have been reading recently, that no vaccine yet invented totally prevents infection and transmission. What a vaccine does (theoretically) is heighten the body’s natural immune response to a particular pathogen, to lessen the seriousness of the infection.
The flu vaccine, for example, does not prevent the influenza virus from entering your body and multiplying. If you are lucky, the flu vaccine lessens the symptoms, to some degree. According to the Centers for Disease Control:
During seasons when the flu vaccine viruses are similar to circulating flu viruses, flu vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of having to go to the doctor with flu by 40 percent to 60 percent…
…In recent years, flu vaccines have reduced the risk of flu-associated hospitalizations among older adults on average by about 40%.
In other words, even if you have been inoculated with a flu shot, you will still get infected with the influenza virus, if you are exposed. But if you’re lucky, you won’t wind up in the hospital.
I presume the new COVID vaccines operate in a similar fashion, by running your natural immune system through a biological ‘fire drill’ so that your body is better prepared to fight off a coronavirus infection once you eventually contract the virus. “Immunity” in this case doesn’t mean, “invulnerable”.
That is to say, inoculations don’t work like the deflector shields on the Starship Enterprise.
Dr. Martin, however, seems to be suggesting that Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna have in fact created a faulty deflector shield… and that if we were properly inoculated with a truly effective vaccine, we would then be totally protected against infection, and incapable of transmitting the virus.
Speaking at a press conference in December, the World Health Organization’s chief scientist, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, said there was yet to be any evidence that coronavirus vaccines were “going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on.”
Dr Mike Ryan, director of WHO’s Health Emergencies warned that COVID-19 was here to stay.
“The likely scenario is the virus will become another endemic virus, a virus will remain somewhat of a threat, but a very low level threat, in the context of an effective global vaccination program.”
I hope the health care providers who are currently administering the vaccine are truthfully informing the public that a COVID inoculation does not prevent infection… and that, in perhaps 10% of recipients, it will provide no noticeable protection at all…
