The Big COVID Vaccine Lie Comes Crashing Down

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

For two years, big government tyrants, using examples set by the Chinese Communist Party, have gleefully dehumanized wide swaths of the American population, condemned dissent and run those with questions about rushed and experimental drugs out of society with digital passes and vaccine cards. 

After bravely working through the height of the pandemic, firefighters, police officers, nurses, doctors and other frontline workers were fired from their jobs as governments and their corporate partners instituted non-negotiable mandates. 

In his quest for unlimited power, President Joe Biden attempted to use the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to force every working American to take the jab while vilifying "the unvaccinated" as the reason why the pandemic was dragging on. 

"We need to do more. This is not about freedom or personal choice. It's about protecting yourself and those around you — the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love," Biden declared from the White House. "We're going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers. We're going to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by increasing the share of the workforce that is vaccinated in businesses all across America."

Officials justified firings by repeatedly arguing being vaccinated prevents individuals from spreading the disease to others. 

"Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and it's not just in the clinical trials, it's also in real world data," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in March 2021. 

"When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health and that of the family but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community. In other words, you become a dead end to the virus. And when there are a lot of dead ends around, the virus is not going to go anywhere," NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said in May 2021. 

"You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations," President Joe Biden said in July 2021. 

Then, the CDC finally admitted on July 27, 2021, that vaccinated individuals can, in fact, spread the disease to others and that the vaccine did not prevent transmission. 

But this week, it all came crashing down when Pfizer Director of International Developed Markets Janine Small admitted during a hearing with the European Parliament that the company never tested whether their COVID-19 "vaccine" actually worked to prevent transmission of the disease. 

"Was the Pfizer COVID vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market? If not, please say it clearly. If yes, are you willing to share the data with this committee?" European Parliament Member Rob Roos asked. 

"Regarding the question, did we know about stopping transmission before we entered the market? No. We had to really move at the speed of science," Small answered. 

Everything "the experts" said about "the data" on transmissibility didn't exist because it wasn't tested. This was, of course, obvious in the spring and summer of 2021 as fully vaccinated individuals started testing positive for the disease, many with symptoms. 

These are the same people who were in charge of making decisions about the lives of countless millions in the United States. It's a scandal, and their actions aren't without consequences. 

Working at the "speed of science," which apparently means without proper testing or data, has become the norm. 

"The White House needs new COVID advisers. The current cast has made too many critical mistakes and has now gone rogue, violating sacred principles in science such as authorizing novel mRNA vaccines with zero public clinical trial data," John Hopkins University Dr. Marty Makary posted on Twitter. "It appears the FDA no longer requires clinical trial data. Pfizer & Moderna's new Omicron vax (tested in 8 mice) was authorized today for children, who are at the highest risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis. FDA bypassed their expert advisers. The most political FDA&CDC in U.S. history." 

A new study from Harvard-educated Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo shows the drug increased "the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination."

"The Florida Department of Health (Department) conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series, which is a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety," the Florida Department of Health released in a statement. "This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks. As such, the State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines." 

A lack of vaccine efficacy, which was sold to millions on a lie without proper testing and data, is a scandal. Worse, the damage this dishonesty has done to the trust of the medical community is immeasurable and possibly irreparable. That does not bode well for the future of health in America and certainly goes against the first rule of medicine: Do no harm.
