The news that no-one had any right not to expect has been made today. One of the coronavirus vaccines, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, has passed through its drug trials. According to BBC News, it is a 'milestone event', 'a great day for science and humanity', and will offer protection to more than 90% of people from getting COVID-19. More important is that 'no safety concerns have been raised'. So it will be able to relieve us from (the nonsense) social distancing and lockdown policies to which we have been subjected for the last 9 months.
So medical science has triumphed again! There can surely be no reason for us to think this is anything but unprecedented good news. Or is it?
Perhaps the most important thing to say is - let's wait and see? The pharmaceutical industry has a long history of heralding this kind of wonderful medical breakthrough; and so far all of them have ended up being nothing of the kind; and most of them have resulted in tragic outcomes in terms of the patient harm they have caused.
This new vaccine is either a good news story, as the mainstream media (MSM) wants us to believe; or it is yet another example of the triumph of hope over bitter experience.
LET'S WAIT AND SEE
Many people will want to believe that the new vaccine (and the other vaccines that will soon be emerging) are a good news stories. But before getting carried away in the ecstasy of this good news story, you would be advised to read about the history of pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines, and how good news has usually been followed disappointment, and serious patient harm.
What is undoubtedly true is that millions of people will now agree to receive this vaccine, and so just how effective and how safe it proves to be will become clearer. I will refuse the vaccine; it will be offered to me as I am over 70 years of age; but I will refuse it. And this blog will patiently wait to see the outcome of this new treatment.
THE VACCINE TRIALS
The safety and effective of all drugs are ascertained by conventional medical science. And the entire process of drug regulation and medical science is dishonest, corrupt and fraudulent. Perhaps this science is honest; there has certainly been enough calls for greater honesty, hitherto futile. Yet, during the past few months there have been many reports of serious side effects during the vaccines trials, including peripheral neuropathy and death. Some trials has been temporarily stopped as a result, only to be restarted again - largely unreported by the MSM.
Now, we are expected to believe that "no safety issues have been raised" during the vaccine trials.This is just untrue; but notwithstanding, the vaccine has been developed, and will be given to many people over the next few months.
It is to be hoped that more cases of peripheral neuropathy, and deaths, do not emerge. Or worse still, that the conventional medical establishment merely ignore and deny these 'side effects' (which is their usual response), and the MSM refuses to report on them (which is invariably what they do). This blog will certainly keep an eye on this in the months to come.
A NEW CORONAVIRUS THREAT: THE CULLING OF MINK IN DEMARK
Yet there are other issues to consider at this moment. One is the news coming out of Denmark; that they are to cull "17 million mink over coronavirus fears" because 12 people "have already become infected with this mutated virus". (As I have argued many times here, see "Fighting coronavirus COVID-19. At least we get a better deal than animals who get an infection! animals invariably get a worse deal than humans from conventional medicine. After all, what kind of medicine kills patients, and then calls it 'treatment'? This Independent article makes clear that Denmark is not alone in culling it mink population:
"Already, tens of thousands of mink have had to be culled in Europe, with Spain seeing 100,000 mink killed in July.... and ... thousands of mink have also been slaughtered in the Netherlands following similar outbreaks there".
The fear is, apparently, that this new, mink-mutated virus, will require ANOTHER vaccine, the new vaccine will not be sufficient - it will have to be reinvented. What this means, therefore, new vaccine or not, is that the coronvirus crisis is not over. Even if it proves to be safe and effective it will only cope with one virus, and viruses always mutate. Conventional medicine has never been very good at treating infections.
Homeopathy, and a properly functioning immune system, can cope with changing, mutating viruses, but conventional medicine has never been able to do so. Hence it has to change the flu vaccine, year on year. So perhaps the new vaccine will change all this - but I am not holding by breath!
IGNORING EXISTING AND READILY AVAILABLE TREATMENTS - VITAMIN D
One of my earliest blogs (April 2020) on the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic questioned why conventional medicine was ignoring natural immunity, and natural medicine, as valid methods of treating the pandemic. One of the treatments I mentioned in that blog was Vitamin D.
A new assessment of the value of Vitamin D has been studied. You will not hear about this in the MSM but it has been found that 82% of COVID-19 patients have been found to be Vitamin D deficient. This link, to the Dr Mercola website, explains that vitamin D has emerged as one of the primary risk factors for severe coronavirus infection and death.
"One study found your risk of developing a severe case of, and dying from COVID-19, virtually disappears once your vitamin D level gets about 30 ng/mI (75 nmol/L)."
The Dr Mercola article presents the evidence in detail, so is worth reading. But one overwhelming question emerges. Why has the use of vitamin D to combat COVID-19 been ignored by the conventional medical establishment?
The answer is not too difficult to fathom. Conventional medicine does not like these 'natural' solutions to infections: they are not profitable: vaccines are profitable: sitting in the sun, or taking a vitamin supplement, is not.
Wash your hands; social distancing; lockdown, wearing masks - all these have been pressed on us, ad nauseam for months; but rarely, if ever, has there been any mention of vitamin D; or indeed vitamin C; or indeed the value of alternative natural medicine therapies.
There is an obvious agenda here, and not a very subtle one. Moreover this profit agenda is likely to be taken much further by the conventional medical establishment.
MANDATORY VACCINES
And what would be more profitable than making the new vaccine mandatory, forced on use, whether we wanted it or not. And this is on the agenda of the Conventional Medical Establishment, as can be clearly seen in this link, written evidence from Dr Lisa Forsberg, et al., "Compulsory Vaccination for COVID-19 and Human Rights Law. They make two arguments:
"If Covid-19 ‘lockdown’ measures are compatible with human rights law, then it is arguable that compulsory vaccination is too. If compulsory medical treatment under mental health law for personal and public 30 protection purposes is compatible with human rights law, then it is arguable that compulsory vaccination is too.
So conventional medical policies have been a Trojan Horse. We have swallowed masks, social distancing and lockdown hook, line and sinker. So not only are our jobs, our livelihoods, and our economies being devastated by this pandemic, our hard won freedoms and liberties are also to be threatened.
And all this because conventional medicine has demonstrated that it has been unable to cope with the coronavirus pandemic. The threat of COVID-19 remains real - to anyone who does not know (or has not been told) about the value of vitamin C, vitamin D, homeopathy, et al.
So we have a new vaccine; but is this really good news?
And if it is good news, who will it be good for?
The answer to these questions will become clearer in the weeks/months to come.
So to watch the answers unfold - why not follow this blog.
