Deception

Misconceptions about COVID Vaccines are fueling vaccine mandates.  The CDC has contributed to these misconceptions by its recent statements and actions.  Trusted institutions and processes are now corrupted by a political agenda that has licensed vaccine mandates.  Next will be vaccine passports and social credit scores, resulting in the loss of human rights.

Last week, FDA published a new combined Vaccine Information Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers About COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to Prevent Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).   This Fact Sheet explains the distinction between Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA).  This document states that the two vaccines “can be used interchangeably,” but are “legally distinct” (see footnote 1).  COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) is an FDA-licensed vaccine for individuals 16 years old and older; Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an authorized vaccine for individuals 12 years and older.  COMIRNATY inherits Pfizer-BioNTech’s EUAs; Pfizer-BioNTech is not grandfathered into CORMINATY’s license.

The new Fact Sheet also expands emergency use authorization for third shots (boosters) of both vaccines.  In doing so, the FDA followed the spirit, if not the letter, of its independent Advisory Committee Meeting on Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee September 17, 2021 (watch following 7:42:00).  

On the other hand, the CDC’s information and guidance has been confusing and misleading.  On its website, the CDC ignores the legal distinction between the two vaccines so carefully parsed by the FDA, inaccurately lumping them under the label “Pfizer-BioNTech (COMIRNATY) COVID-19 Vaccine” and saying that the FDA approved this vaccine on August 23.  That’s not exactly true.  But the misinformation has taken root.  Even factcheckers are spreading the false claim that Pfizer-BioNTech and COMIRNATY vaccines are legally equivalent.  

Last week the CDC went further, recommending boosters for individuals not included in the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization in contradiction to the CDC’s own Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.  Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of CDC, justified this action (watch following 27:57) by saying it was a “scientific close call,” (28:22) and that she would have voted in favor of the recommendations if she were part of the committee (28:36).  But she wasn’t part of the committee, and it wasn’t a close call.

Close calls are judgments made on the sports field, risk calculations during a game of chess, or complicated ethical determinations.  Close calls are decisions made with incomplete information, under the stress of time, that exceed our computation ability.  None of this describes science.  Science is a method that either disproves an idea or does not.  There are no “scientific close calls.”

The CDC overstepped its jurisdiction.  The FDA, not the CDC, issues emergency use authorizations. Yet now CDC guidance is at odds with FDA’s EUA, bypassing the safety afforded by this carefully thought-out process. 

There was a reluctance to embrace vaccine mandates until FDA licensed a vaccine.  On August 23, the FDA licensed a vaccine which is still not available.  Instead of giving us a licensed vaccine, the FDA gave us a license to mandate vaccines.  In August, the White House promised booster shots by September 20.  Last week boosters were made available under CDC guidance via a short-circuited process.  This is not science.  This is politics.

These are smart people who have studied logic and rhetoric at the finest colleges and universities in the land.  They should know better.  They do know better.  This is deliberate and bold deception.  Trusted instructions of science and medicine have been corrupted to further a political agenda.  Now that we’re out of the realm of science and in the world of politics, speculation runs wild.  My speculation is that someone wants to sell vaccines, and lots of them.  My speculation is that vaccine mandates will lead to vaccine passports and social credit scores which will eliminate our human rights.  No wonder there’s a crisis of trust in America.
