They ultimately voted to further limit the covid mRNA shots, this time adding a requirement for \u201cshared clinical decision-making\u201d before anyone under 65 or not in a \u2018high-risk\u2019 group can get the shots. They <em>nearly<\/em> voted to require a prescription, it was <em>so<\/em> close, but that vote failed by a small margin.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate media and its pet experts were alarmed, worried, fretful, and terrified, squawking things like <em>this is the end<\/em>, <em>nobody\u2019s following the science<\/em>, and so forth and so on.<\/p>\n<p>But, apart from that, the meeting was a <em>bloodbath<\/em> for the jabs. In the clip above, Pfizer and Moderna <em>declined to respond<\/em> to a direct question from a committee member. Even worse, they were forced to sit through a several lengthy presentations by the newly formed \u201cVaccine Working Group\u201d about all the growing questions and problems over the jabs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond antibody changes,\u201d one presenter began, \u201cthe vaccinations have also been linked to long-lasting shifts in cytokine profiles, with elevated inflammatory cytokine persistence for months. These immune alterations may contribute to an increased risk of recurrent infection in some individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was just the <em>first<\/em> bullet point.<\/p>\n<p>The Workgroup continued through problem after problem, discussing <em>biodistribution<\/em> (it spreads all over the body, including into the brain), <em>frameshifting<\/em> (it creates random \u2018nonsense\u2019 proteins), and implausibly high levels of <em>DNA contamination<\/em>, including parts of a monkey virus (SV40), especially in the Pfizer shot.<\/p>\n<p>&#x1f489; Even more astonishing, following the meeting, the <em>CDC itself<\/em> tweeted a very critical comment from Dr. Malone, questioning <em>how the drugmakers can even tell the shots work.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What Dr. Malone meant is that there is no <em>agreed-upon measurement<\/em> \u2014like a specific antibody level\u2014 that reliably predicts whether a person \u201cis protected\u201d from covid, either in terms of bare infection or severe disease.<\/p>\n<p>Absent \u201cconsensus\u201d on even what proves protection exists, how can the drugmakers claim the shots <em>produce<\/em> protection? <em>Stop saying that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Malone was pointing out that pharma\u2019s claims of efficacy were only based on large-group statistical conclusions, rather than any hard-science-based \u2014i.e. measurable\u2014 biological effect. Whereas, most other vaccines do have established <em>correlates of protection<\/em>\u2014 meaning that there are well-defined, measurable biological markers (often specific antibody levels) that can reliably predict immunity.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Malone had a solid point, and he made it well. But the more important development was that his point was then re-published by the official US government Twitter account for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And that wasn\u2019t all. The CDC also published a whole string of clips, the most recent including <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/01f53b39-f1ec-40ff-812c-5582a8f7b31b?j=eyJ1IjoieWg4YXcifQ.P5dd96yeNjsZvqxez43LWKLeQBPn8oqoUB630mF8gtY\" rel=\"\">a clip of Dr. Retsef Levi<\/a> stating that, \u201cSub-clinical myocarditis <em>can cause death<\/em>. It\u2019s proven. It\u2019s not questionable. Nevertheless, we are not talking about this with patients, and we are not stating that risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They are prying the Overton Window open, inch by inch, one post at a time.<\/p>\n<p>You should see the crazed hysteria in the comments by the medical fetishists, who are <em>mad as hornets<\/em> that <em>their<\/em> beloved CDC is now being used to push all this anti-vaxx propaganda. Don\u2019t actually read the comments. There\u2019s no logic; the pro-vaxxers never try to rebut the claims on the merits; it\u2019s just name-calling and non-sequiters.<\/p>\n<p>Some may wonder why, with all these evident problems, the Committee didn\u2019t just withdraw authorization from the shots altogether? The short version is, this problem didn\u2019t develop in a day, and it won\u2019t be fixed in a day. The Committee appears to be carefully building an unassailable scientific record before pulling the plug. Still, every time they get a whack at the Pfizer pi\u00f1ata, they hit it a little harder.<\/p>\n<p>The clock is ticking, louder and louder.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.substack.com\/pub\/coffeeandcovid\/p\/unprescribed-saturday-september-20\">https:\/\/open.substack.com\/pub\/coffeeandcovid\/p\/unprescribed-saturday-september-20<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new ACIP Committee has been delicately chipping away at the mRNA guidelines with archeological tools.
