An article by Penny Murray, Stuff newspaper’s news director, appeared yesterday with the headline “Bivalent booster likely spared me the worst when Covid burned through our house”. Stuff has received financial support from the government to operate a programme called “The Whole Truth” which promotes Covid vaccination. Since the government has just started rolling out the bivalent vaccine, it is no surprise that Stuff is blowing their trumpet.
Penny reports that her two kids under 12 have had two mRNA shots, her husband three, and she herself has had four including the bivalent booster a few days ago. The kids and her husband have fallen ill with Covid and feel very unwell. They have a variety of symptoms including vomiting, headaches, and fever. Penny has a Covid infection too but her only symptoms are in her words: “a grinding headache and feel awful. Everything hurts”. Miraculously she has skipped the fever. In the article, Murray concludes that the bivalent booster is the key to avoiding serious Covid symptoms.
The Immunity Advisory Centre funded by the government reassures Penny she is right. It told her “because your immune system was already activated to respond to the virus [by the bivalent booster], it lessened your symptoms.”
The Lack of Logic is Frightening
I don’t know what you think of articles like this, the lack of logic is frightening. Yesterday on 27 March 2023 a preprint study was published entitled “IgG4 Antibodies Induced by mRNA Vaccines Generate Immune Tolerance to SARS-CoV-2’spike Protein by Suppressing the Immune System”. The authors offer a conclusion which diverges completely from the official government narrative and Penny’s naive scribblings:
“Altogether, evidence suggests that the reported increase in the IgG4 levels detected after repeated vaccination with the mRNA vaccines is not a protective mechanism; rather, it may be a part of the immune tolerance mechanism to the spike protein that could promote unopposed SARS-CoV2 infection and replication by suppressing natural antiviral responses. IgG4-induced suppression of the immune system due to repeated vaccination can also cause autoimmune diseases, promotes cancer growth, and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals.”
It appears from this study that Penny’s whole family likely had a bout with Covid infection because of vaccination, but of course Stuff is not paid by the government to tell us that. I recommend that everyone at Stuff keep up to date with published science, rather than giving us their seat of the pants, government-funded, home-grown myths of the wonders of Covid vaccination. They might also take a look at a recent Lancet paper concluding that natural immunity works very well, as responsibly reported here by the Wall Street Journal.
They should also look at the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in which Dr. Paul Offit a member of the US FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee writes under the title Bivalent Covid-19 Vaccines — A Cautionary Tale and reports the result of two studies of the bivalent vaccines which found:
“no significant difference in neutralization of any SARS-CoV-2 variant,” including BA.4 and BA.5, between the two groups. One day later, Dan Barouch and colleagues released the results of a similar study, finding that “BA.5 [neutralizing-antibody] titers were comparable following monovalent and bivalent mRNA boosters.” Barouch and colleagues also noted no appreciable differences in CD4+ or CD8+ T-cell responses between participants in the monovalent-booster group and those in the bivalent-booster group. Neither research group found the bivalent boosters to elicit superior immune responses. The results are now published in the NEJM.
The bivalent vaccine is designed to protect against BA.4 and BA.5 strains of Covid, but Offit also reported:
“By December 2022, the BA.4 strain was no longer circulating, and BA.5 accounted for less than 25% of circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains, having been partially replaced by more immune-evasive strains, such as BQ.1, BQ.1.1, BF.7, XBB, and XBB.1.”
In layman’s terms, studies show the bivalent vaccines are about equivalent to earlier mRNA vaccines, which as we know wear off rapidly and expose recipients to adverse effects. This is contrary to the advice of the New Zealand Immunity Advisory Centre which told Penny Murray that:
“In all likelihood, your [bivalent] booster dose will have given you additional protection.”
Certain Covid Vaccines Might TREBLE Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death in Women Under 30
I am guessing that Stuff is going to come roaring back with carefully edited extracts of an article from the Australian edition of the Daily Mail. You will know why Stuff can’t reprint it verbatim when you read the headline “Certain Covid vaccines might TREBLE risk of sudden cardiac death in women under 30, official data shows“. The article reports a study which found that the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine is a culprit when it comes to women’s health among the under 30s, increasing the risk of death by 3.5 times within 12 weeks, but the Mail goes on to report that the study also found mRNA vaccines don’t carry a risk of death (actually it did among young men).
IT IS ALWAYS USEFUL TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ANY ACTUAL STUDIES WHICH FORM THE BASIS OF NEWSPAPER ARTICLES ABOUT COVID.
The Mail then takes a giant leap of vaccine faith and asserts that this “disproves a conspiracy theory beloved by anti-vaxxers that the mRNA shots are responsible for a wave of ‘sudden’ deaths.” It is always useful to take a good look at any actual studies which form the basis of newspaper articles about Covid. This one was published by Nature on 27 March 2023 entitled “Risk of death following COVID-19 vaccination or positive SARS-CoV-2 test in young people in England”. The principal authors were scientists who work for the UK government, who are also coincidentally rolling out the bivalent booster.
The study measured the incidence of death in hospital up to 12 weeks after a vaccine dose in the age group 12 to 29 and compared that to the incidence of death after the 12 week period. In other words, it assumed that the risk of injury from the vaccine would only last 12 weeks. The authors state: “any long lasting increase in risk [of death] postvaccination would not have been detectable with this approach.”
They also note that sudden deaths of young persons outside of hospital were unlikely to have been captured by the study due to coronial delays. In other words, the ‘sudden deaths’ whose occurrence the Mail reporter wrongly believed the study refuted were not actually covered by the study. The authors also note that a similar study in Florida found differing results to theirs—an increased risk of death in the four weeks following mRNA vaccination for young males aged 12-39.
Globally Hospitalisations and Excess All Cause Mortality Are at Record Levels
Hospitalisations and excess all cause mortality in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the whole of the EU, and USA are at record levels and the data is pointing squarely at the long term effects of mRNA vaccines. In New Zealand, hospitalisations doubled in 12 key disease categories, during the mRNA vaccine rollout (pre-Covid), but government funded vaccine proponents are busy trying to convince us to take more. Dr. Paul Offit, in the NEJM describes bivalent vaccines as a ‘failure’ and asks why on earth did the US agree to buy 105 million doses in a great hurry before the scientific verdict was in. We have to say the same thing about New Zealand (who have bought 1.7 million doses), Australia, and the UK. Either they acted before the data was published or they chose to ignore it.
It is not just hospitalisations that are up. Work absences due to illness are through the roof and accelerating fast. Former Blackrock financial analyst Edward Dowd has found that absenteeism in the USA was up by 5 standard deviations in 2021 and 7 standard deviations in 2022. His data is worth a whole article on its own. For our purposes, here it indicates a range of effects from Covid vaccination among working age people, from tiredness to persistent illness to hospitalisation and an increasing number of deaths.
Importantly, the situation is not something we can just sit out and hope it goes away. People in charge of making policy are not coming to their senses, they are moving in the other direction. They are doing so using a mixture of misleading propaganda, media control, and draconian legislation. This trend is continuing to gather pace. For example, minors are being encouraged to ignore their parent’s advice when it comes to medical decisions about vaccination and other risky drugs like puberty blockers.
There is No Rhyme or Reason to Current Medical Policy Formation
It is time for people to stand up for commonsense and educate themselves about scientific facts. In the absence of sensible leadership, individual MPs need to do the same. Otherwise, we are slowly drifting towards a pharmaceutical state with policies that ultimately disrupt families (the basis of a stable society), prioritise corporate profits over health, and strip individuals of any medical choice.
It is worth repeating the conclusion of the latest published assessment of mRNA vaccines:
“INDUCED SUPPRESSION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM DUE TO REPEATED MRNA VACCINATION CAN CAUSE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES, PROMOTE CANCER GROWTH, AND AUTOIMMUNE MYOCARDITIS IN SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS.”
Stuff newspaper, writing on behalf of the government is urging you to roll the dice one more time with the bivalent booster. You decide if you are feeling lucky.
