Check⁉️ World-renowned vaccine scientist: RFK Jr is right?

INTRO: (Martin Kulldorff): Some in the scientific community are shocked and dismayed. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the Centers for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, and other federal health agencies. Are their concerns warranted? Or, are they hypocritical?

Kennedy’s three stated goals for the federal health agencies are (i) evidence-based medicine, (ii) clean up corruption and conflicts of interest, and (iii) end the chronic disease epidemic, with special emphasis on our children and concrete results within two years. These are not only laudable goals, but urgent ones.

During the Covid pandemic, evidence-based medicine and the fundamental principles of public health were thrown out the window. With the health agencies’ singular focus on Covid, school closures and other lockdown measures generated enormous collateral damage that is increasingly obvious. The exception was Sweden, which had the lowest excess mortality during the outbreak.

Federal agencies questioned and ignored 2,500 years of scientific knowledge about immunity when they enforced vaccine mandates on students and working-age adults with superior infection-acquired immunity while my 87-year-old neighbor and other older people around the world were still unvaccinated. Covid vaccines saved the lives of many older people, but Covid vaccine mandates killed older people by directing vaccines to those not needing them. That was both unscientific and unethical.

It is noteworthy that many who abandoned evidence-based medicine during the pandemic are now criticizing Kennedy, who wants the CDC, NIH, and FDA to return to evidence-based medicine... (MORE - details)

I have to admit that I've thought of RFK Jr as a bit of a crank. But there might be something to what he says about the m-RNA Covid vaccines.

Here's a fairly persuasive article by a retired Yale University epidemiologist. Comments and highlighting by me.

https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/26/big...e-effects/

There is no perfect medicine. The benefits and harms of any treatment must be carefully considered in order to prescribe the safest, most effective course of action for a patient. While the FDA and CDC continue to extol the benefits of the Covid vaccines, they have ignored a growing body of evidence that these products can also be harmful. The code of medical ethics demands a transparent and balanced accounting of their impact...

An honest accounting begins with clinical trials, supposedly “the most rigorous in history.” Pfizer’s own legal arguments suggest otherwise. Responding to a whistleblower lawsuit alleging major deviations from protocol, Pfizer’s lawyers noted that the company’s “Other Transactions Authority” agreement (OTA) with the Pentagon didn’t require clinical trials to comply with FDA regulations because the vaccine was a military prototype for “medical countermeasures.”...

I'm guessing that was done during the initial Covid panic in order to shorten the normally years-long human trials process so as to get the Covid vaccines out to the public as soon as possible.

Concerning the early evidence of potentially serious vaccine side effects...

The FDA intended to keep Pfizer’s data hidden for 75 years...

The main culprit is the Covid spike protein encoded in the vaccine’s mRNA technology. This protein is an antigen, or foreign immunogenic substance, located on the outer coat of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, that triggers an immune response. The mRNA in the shots instructs the body’s cells to produce identical spike proteins, inducing the immune system to create antibodies that bind to them, theoretically protecting vaccinated individuals against the virus. Unfortunately, this plan has a fatal flaw: The spike itself is toxic and potentially deadly.

Hundreds of peer-reviewed articles have demonstrated the spike’s potential for harm independent of the rest of the virus. Potential complications include myocarditis, blood clots, neurological injuries, and immune dysfunction...

There is no way to predict how much spike protein the mRNA injections will produce in any individual, and there is no “off switch.”

According to CDC figures...  from 2021-2023 the U.S. suffered 600,000 excess deaths not associated with Covid. Furthermore, Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveal two million Americans became newly disabled, with unusual excesses in historically low-risk groups.

I'd guess that the excess deaths were due to a variety of causes. Not least the fact that hospitals were essentially shut down during Covid and many people weren't being screened/treated for other potentially fatal conditions like cancer.

These trends coincided with mass Covid vaccination, including an unaccountable 59 percent surge in deaths among Americans ages 15-44 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 2019...

Similar figures from abroad underscore a tragic loss of life among healthy people at minimal serious risk from the virus.

It could get worse. No carcinogenicity studies were performed on the injections prior to their launch, thus long-term cancer risks are essentially unknown. The spike protein also appears prone to prion-like misfolding, raising the specter of potential neurodegenerative disorders.

Medical ethics demand a balanced approach to every intervention, weighing potential benefits against potential harms. However, in the case of the Covid vaccines, federal agencies have chosen only to proclaim benefits. By surfacing data that bear upon both the positive and negative impacts of the Covid vaccines, and evaluating the pandemic performance of CDC, FDA, and other health agencies, the new administration can restore confidence and integrity in medicine and public health.

So yet another idea dismissed (and widely censored) as "misinformation", as a "conspiracy theory", once again starts to look as if it might actually be true. (As the 'meme' says, 'Scientists warn of a serious future shortage of conspiracy theories, if they keep coming true at the current rate.')

It was certainly call "misinformation" and "conspiracy theory," but most people were just questioning the evidence as it became known.
That's not a conspiracy theory becoming true. That's the facts being mislabeled "conspiracy theory" as propaganda misinformation.

In the UK we have a thing we call 'Long Covid' .. it goes like this..

Most people with COVID-19 feel better within a few days or weeks of their first symptoms and make a full recovery within 12 weeks.
For some people, symptoms can last longer. This is called long COVID or post COVID-19 syndrome. Long COVID is a new condition which is still being studied.
Read about long COVID research studies on the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) website.
Information:
You can sign up to take part in long COVID research on the Be Part of Research website
Symptoms of long COVID
The most common symptoms of long COVID are:
extreme tiredness (fatigue)
feeling short of breath
problems with your memory and concentration ("brain fog")
heart palpitations
dizziness
joint pain and muscle aches
However, there are lots of symptoms you can have after a COVID-19 infection, including:
loss of smell
chest pain or tightness
difficulty sleeping (insomnia)
pins and needles
depression and anxiety
tinnitus, earaches
feeling sick, diarrhoea, stomach aches, loss of appetite
cough, headaches, sore throat, changes to sense of smell or taste
rashes

In the US do you have 'long covid' or is it all/mostly vax created problems?

Edit .. more..

Recent data from the US has suggested that Long Covid may affect up to 7% of the population and prevalence could rise further.

7% !!! are US folks seeing these figures?
