The Atlantic Admits That the 100% Safe Covid Vaccine Killed Children (But Finds Room to Attack Vaccine Skeptics Anyway)

Steve Jobs' Widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic takes a "pox on both their houses" position on the covid vaccines: The "health authorities" and their I-Believe-In-Science allies are criticized for denying the undeniable, that the covid vaccines did cause myocarditis and death in children, particularly young boys.

But the article of course also criticizes those who correctly and honestly pointed out that the vaccine was dangerous for children, particularly young boys, because... well, because they're On the Other Side and it's very gauche of them to be right about The Science.

David Strom excerpted this yesterday.

On the Friday after Thanksgiving, Vinay Prasad, the FDA's top vaccine regulator, made a claim that shocked the public-health establishment. "For the first time," he wrote in a leaked email to his staff, "the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children." The agency had supposedly identified at least 10 children who died from getting COVID shots.

...

To say the email was poorly received by vaccine experts and physicians would be an understatement. Prasad's claim provoked a rapid series of rebuttals. A response from 12 former FDA commissioners, published in The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday, called Prasad's memo "a threat to evidence-based vaccine policy and public health security." All of the potential vaccine-related deaths reported to the government, presumably including those to which Prasad referred, had already been reviewed by the agency's staff, the former commissioners wrote, and "different conclusions" had been reached. Elsewhere, doctors and scientists declared that absolutely no evidence links COVID-19 vaccines to death in children; and that in order to suggest otherwise, Prasad and his colleagues had engaged in an "evidence-manufacturing mission," a "dumpster dive" for shoddy data, or--worse--a campaign of lying.

...there's something troubling--and telling--in the fact that his memo has provoked people to deny even the possibility of COVID-vaccine-related deaths. The idea that mRNA-based shots have, tragically, killed a very small number of children is not far-fetched. It also doesn't imply a catastrophic threat to public health, given that tens of millions of doses of these vaccines have safely been given out to young people. From the start of the coronavirus pandemic, lack of nuance has been a problem with public-health messaging--one that anti-vaccine advocates have made use of to great effect. Now, in a moment when public health in America is under existential threat, this insistence that no evidence exists for vaccine-related deaths risks adding to the crisis.

But children did not need the "vaccines," meaning that the risks of mandating it to them -- and the deaths that then occurred -- were absolutely unnecessary.

No public-health authorities deny that COVID shots can have some ill effects. Adverse reactions are possible with all medical interventions. The mRNA-based vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna, in particular, are known to cause myocarditis--inflammation of the heart--on rare occasions, especially in teenage boys and young men. The form of myocarditis that occurs after vaccination is typically far less severe than the one caused by viruses; for unclear reasons, mRNA-related cases have largely disappeared in recent years. But this condition can be deadly, and considering the hundreds of millions of mRNA doses that have been administered to Americans, even extraordinarily unlikely outcomes may well be inevitable.

He doesn't want to lose his Leftwing Pinhead Membership Card, so he now pivots to attacking those who correctly said that children do not need the vaccine and in fact seem to be harmed by it:


The possibility--perhaps the likelihood--that a handful of vaccine-related deaths occurred and were downplayed by medical authorities does not undermine the fact that COVID vaccination, on the whole, has prevented death on a massive scale. Nor does it justify sweeping changes to vaccine regulations. Rather, it suggests the need for some targeted reforms, such as improvements to the country's vaccine-adverse-event reporting system--and also tells us that a strategy of minimizing tragic outcomes, however rare, may not be the best way to protect a vital instrument of public health.

Strom points out that this joker believes that RFKJr. is an "existential threat" to public health. Not the people who mandated that children take a vaccine that they did not need and which actually murdered a couple dozen of them, but the guy saying "Let's review the necessity and efficacy and safety of vaccines."

Strom mentions that once upon a time, he assumed the best of public health officials. Not any longer, of course.

I've written about this, but I'll mention it again: My own realization that public health officials consider it a badge of honor to blatantly lie to the pubic about public health -- to convince the uneducated to do what the educated want them to do, through any means necessary, including public disinformation campaigns -- came when I saw CNN's health correspondent Sanjay Gupta interview Obama's head of the CDC during the ebola outbreak.

During that outbreak, "The experts" decided to downplay the risk of the disease, instead of being hyper-alarmist. They did so because Obama had decided that the First Black President must never impose a temporary travel ban to any African country, even one in the midst of an ebola outbreak. So the marching orders went out to public health officials to convince the Uneducated Bigots of America that ebola was no big deal, really, You Racists.

Obama's CDC director claimed that ebola wasn't a danger for spreading because it could not be spread by "airborne transmission" but only by "direct contact." He said this specifically to allay fears of people on planes, trains, and buses that they could catch ebola from a fellow passenger.

Gupta asked, "So there's no risk if someone with ebola sneezes on another passenger? "

Obama's lying CDC directed reiterated that "ebola cannot be spread by airborne transmission," asserting that this statement answered the question.

But it didn't. Because we later learned that "airborne transmission" refers to disease-carrying bodies remaining in the air for hours and hours after the infected person has left the room. It refers to particles so light that they just "bounce" up and down in the air and don't sink to the ground for days.

But a sneeze is not considered "airborne transmission," even though it sounds like it should be, and even though Obama's CDC director insinuated that a sneeze would be a case of airborne transmission and ebola could not be spread by airborne transmission.

No, Gupta later told viewers in an update: A sneeze is considered direct contact with the infected person -- the spittle passes directly from them to anyone hit by the spray -- so yes, ebola is easily spread by a sneeze. And Obama's CDC director knew this, but he wanted to lie to the public, per Obama's wish to downplay the outbreak, so he told the world that ebola could not be passed via a sneeze.

It was a straight up lie. But he told it because the "experts" had decided that the value of keeping travel open to Africa outweighed Racist Americans' bigoted ideas about ebola being a killer disease that could literally liquify your internal organs, so "The Science" was changed to convince people of the political decision the "experts" had decided was best for them.

Earlier this year I started watching House, MD. The main character is an arrogant sociopath who routinely lies to patients about the risks or benefits of a course of treatment. He justifies this by noting that he went to medical school whereas most patients did not, and so he knows the right course of action and they simply don't. When told that this violates the law of informed consent, he snaps back that informed consent is a lie because informed consent is impossible for non-experts. So might as well lie to them or trick them into doing "the right thing," at least according to "the experts."

I mention that, of course, because it's not just a trait given to a fictional character on a TV show. There are a lot of people in medicine and particularly in the highly political field of government "public health" who share House's view on the impossibility of true informed consent and therefore the justification for simply lying to people to get them to do the "right" thing.

If you meet with a doctor, you're the client.

But you are not the client of "public health officials." The government, specifically the President or the state governor, is their client.

That's the person they are working for. You are just the rubes they're hustling to sell a product to.

10 To admit that children were killed by a vaccine designed to protect them from the effects of a disease that was not terribly dangerous to them would undermine the whole purpose of having mandatory childhood vaccine schedules.

Admitting this is a limited hang-out.

Their real problem in defending this is that it appears that the spike protein and the various DNA contaminants in the Covid vaccine are oncogenic.

One of the core things about the modern bureaucracy is there is never to be punishment for failure to achieve whatever the supposed goal of the bureaucracy is.

So pointing out that the NIH, CDC, and FDA all completely failed at COVID and expecting consequences is...wrong. In the old days of course the leadership of each would be fired and maybe proscuted.

But the only area the permanent bureaucracy wants consequences for is if people demand accountability like RFK is doing.

Mine was when Fauci and the gang decided to announce that a huge wave of heterosexual AIDS was about to sweep the country, to avoid "stigmatizing" homosexuals and injectable drug users, who constituted almost all the actual AIDS cases.

At a time when most AIDS cases were occurring in a couple of dozen urban neighborhoods with large quantities of homosexuals and IV drug users, instead of focusing on those neighborhoods, the Federal government was spending hundreds of millions of dollars telling normal high school students that they were at high risk of contracting AIDS.

Fauci defunded and marginalized the big names that opposed him out of the gate. Most of the rest of the establishment noted that and either shut up or started helping him.

We note for many cops the job is "come home safely until I can get retirement" well the same is true for most government scientists and pretty much all government bureaucrats.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” -CS Lewis

Ten children killed by Covid mRNA? I believe thousands, and the excess deaths will continue indefinitely. I wish it weren't true, but I can't reach a different conclusion. Every single thing the "experts" have told us about Covid has turned out to be a lie.

64 I wandered across a thread last week where a woman had noted that the left wanted to imprison people for not taking the clot shot and to take their kids away.

There were three types of responses from leftwingers:

1) Quoting the effectiveness of other, non-COVID vaccines as if they were being discussed

2) Arguing no leftist anyway want to imprison people for refusing the clot shot or wanted to take their kids away

3) Arguing that we really should have imprisoned dissidents on the clot shot and taken their children away.

In fact it was common to see a type 2 response showing up right below a type 3 response...

And this is one of the games the left plays

65 There are a lot of people in medicine and particularly in the highly political field of government "public health" who share House's view on the impossibility of true informed consent and therefore the justification for simply lying to people to get them to do the "right" thing.

Public health is supposed to be about protecting you from external threats. Banning smoking in public spaces is, at least arguably, a public health issue. Getting you to stop smoking is not a public health issue. They have no business sticking their nose into 90% of the issues that they go on about.

90 There is a recent French study making the rounds. It shows that the vaccine "resulted of lower all cause mortality" and even reduced things such as car accidents and ingrown toenails.

(I joke about toenails, but car accidents is a tell.)

The study is held as defnitive proof, but let me quickly show the flaw. The study looks at the entire French population and then separates out those who got a vaccine and those who didn't.

But it uses interaction with health care system as the mechanism to ID those cohorts. See the problem? The vaccinated group all went to Dr. to get vaccine, the unvaccinated group only count if they ... were sick and went to the Dr.

Anyway, let me get that out there if anyone is interested.

96 He justifies this by noting that he went to medical school whereas most patients did not, and so he knows the right course of action and they simply don't. When told that this violates the law of informed consent, he snaps back that informed consent is a lie because informed consent is impossible for non-experts. So might as well lie to them or trick them into doing "the right thing," at least according to "the experts."

102 While traveling for Thanksgiving, I saw, on MSNBC I think it was, an acknowledgment that yes, the COVID vaccine did kill people. At least, that’s what the graphic said, I couldn’t hear what they were saying.

But no worries, because the tradeoff was worth it. The graphic compared the chance of death from COVID (possibly adverse reactions, but I’m pretty sure it was death) with the chance of catching COVID, and there was no contest. The chance of catching COVID swamped the chance of death from the vaccine.

Which leads me to suspect that the chance of death from the vaccine swamps the chance of death from catching COVID.

109 Back in the 80s there was a bad swine flu vaccine.

It killed/injured a number of people, but it wasn't obvious at first because no one was collecting this type of data.

60 Minutes of all shows did an investigation and it turned out the FDA had ignored test data and then intentionally didn't follow up on investigating as they should have. Hell they had a letter from one employee to his boss saying they needed to get this shot off the market and when they presented it to the boss he claimed he never got the letter...

This scandal led to VARS since they needed a single entry point for this sort of data to be able to find bad vaccines in the future.

And of course as we know the clot shot ended up having more entries in VARS then all other vaccines over VARS's 30 year history by a factor of more then 1000.

"But COVID's worse," he added. A case of COVID-19 is about 10 times as likely to induce myocarditis as an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination, Wu said."


But this Dr. clearly failed statistics. The "COVID" cohort here are people who presented at hospital. That is maybe 1% of covid actual cases. So 1/1000 who have covid (by his numbers) have myocarditis. But 1/10 of vaccinated do (his number - "10x worse")

So it appears "Covid's much worse," in reality, the vaccine is a killer. He is looking at the data and LYING.

Knowing that DC was working behind the scenes to recruit BLM as riot army should Trump win in 2020, I can conceive that we might not have seen "actually masks work!" or possibly even the shutdown.

It was mid-2020 when social media started banning people who questioned the legitimacy of mail-in balloting. Even though mass mail-in balloting was not something that was tried and true, and has always had mainline skeptics.

But not Scotland for some reason.

The summer they introduced the clot shot their death numbers increased by about a percent.

Now...if the clot shot had any sort of positive effect that makes no sense right? They already had COVID, and it was the summer so this wasn't a bad flu on top of COVID...

154 Attitude has been around.

The Scotus decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905) by a rather progressive court full of undistinguished corporate lawyers (decided the same year as Lochner) said it was perfectly fine for the State of Mass to order compulsory vaccinations on the explicit idea that the needs of the many outweighed the rights of the individual.

This is despite the fact that Jacobson could demonstrate past bad reactions to the smallpox vaccine as a child in Sweden and he had already been vaccinated against smallpox.

Bad bloviating by progressive justices indicate Jacobson should trust the experts based on experiences in foreign countries.

Apparently, the technicality is that the DOJ didn't produce an order of removal.

However, Garcia's lawyers admitted, in early discussions in the court, that Garcia was under an order of removal.

So, factual assertion that the defense had admitted to the judge is throwing as not established. Which means...appeal and stay and remand (no...the higher courts are not going to remove Xinis, unfortunately).

190 Trump is not a doctor and is a germophobe. I don’t know what he knew (and neither do you). COVID came out of a PRC bio-weapons lab and might have been much worse. It was NOT an influenza virus, but in retrospect was comparable to a bad, but not very bad, flu epidemic. Think 1968 flu not 1918. The measures taken against it were nonsense and proven not to work by measures taken against the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919. Isolation, masking, and distancing were tried then and made no difference. They didn’t work this time either. I think Trump was manipulated by his advisors like Fauci and Birx, but they, Fauci and Birx, were in on the scam. Frankly, I think Trump was too trusting of people like them and got fooled into “solving” the problem with a dubious “vaccine” technology: the MRNA approach. Again I think Trump didn’t know how dangerous that approach is: he just didn’t know and trusted his “experts” too much.

Trump was naive, but well intentioned. He never called for a national shut-down: that was due to state and community leaders. The mandatory “vaccination” occurred under Biden not Trump. It was not required in my state, and I worked for the state: I never took it. The MRNA based “vaccine” should be outlawed. Some countries are moving in that direction. That is one thing I will hold against Trump. He doesn’t want to admit how badly he was fooled. Let’s hope that once burnt, twice shy applies here. I know I will never blindly accept vaccination again, but will research what it is first. Basically do not accept any MRNA-based shot.

215 I can never understand why there is a religious exemption but not a science-based exemption.
Posted by: Destini Z

Depends on state laws in many cases. Public Health is a police power of state governments under the 10th Amendment. But overlaid is the complex regulations of Federal grant and health care programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare among others.

The whole edifice of mandatory vaccinations rests on the very old Jacobson v. Mass case of 1905 where an individual challenged Mass law that ignored the rights of individuals altogether to avoid the vaccination but fined non-compliers with a $5 penalty. Jacobson sued alleging violations of his federally protected civil rights because he had been vaccinated as a child for smallpox in Sweden and sustained a vaccination injury. His argument thus that he was exempt from Mass law because of prior vaccination and individual heightened risk from a new one was brushed aside by the Mass Sup. Ct.

US Scotus allowed Mass's fine to stand based on its perverted trust in experts and authority.

Its watchable for me because the comebacks are pretty good. And Cameron. And Dr cuddy are smoke shows. In a later season cuddy is seen in thigh highs, garter belt etc. I can still see it in my minds eye. Very appeallingly presented. Most of the medicine is reasonably presented. Except for the fact that his team is shown doing procedures surgeries they would never be able to do in real life.

it's an okay show but House is the worst part of it. He just causes problems for everyone, including himself. I don't really care when he sabotages himself but when he sabotages his friends and Cuddy, it pisses me off.

227 In that same year, however, the progressive jurists on Scotus were perfectly fine with holding a) that an individual could demand an individual hearing based on individual circumstances as to an improvement district tax, and b) that the state of NY could not mandate health and safety labor laws because individuals had a 14th Amendment based right to contract with employers that superceded such legislation.

Scotus got it right in 1/3 of the cases that year.

237 But children did not need the "vaccines," meaning that the risks of mandating it to them -- and the deaths that then occurred -- were absolutely unnecessary.

Getting the "vaccines" mandated for children WAS absolutely necessary for the Deep State, because then the "vaccine" is no longer under only Emergency Use Authorization. If I remember correctly, vaccine companies could be sued for health issues and deaths if the "vaccine" remained on the EUA.

But once the "vaccine" was mandated for children, it was no longer under EUA and no one could sue for any harm or death that came from the "vaccine". There was complete immunity for the government and the drug companies.

That was the entire reason the Deep State pushed for mandating it for children who didn't need it... to prevent lawsuits for all the harm and death it caused.

Thalidomide wasn't approved here. Someone at the FDA whose name escapes stopped it, as there wasn't enough safety data. That spared us compared to Europe and others. It was given here, I think, but not as much as it would've been if the FDA at the time approved it.

It's even worse than that. Because they're cowards who are terrified of being called racist, they force treatments that are only necessary for small segments of the population on everyone. See Hepatitis vaccines for babies for example.

Unless you're born into a crack den, you most likely don't need it. But doctors don't want to have that conversation, so they mandate EVERYONE have it. If you try to opt out, they will do their damndest to FORCE it on you. You might even have to deal with a CPS investigation.

299 The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) more than a decade ago launched itself into the diseases of...guns...and salt intake.

The agency should have been boarded up at that time, or everyone fired and replaced with new hires who understood what a "disease" is.

Big permanent RIF there at CDC and their hero asshole head was canned after trying to subvert RFK Jr as head of DHS. The noxious evil previous head of CDC during Trump's term literally bragged about her own illegal and immoral actions promoting all the shutdown crap late in Trump I.

And you have smirking Senator Cassidy Rino from Louisiana as chair of HHS and CDC oversight (who voted the second time to impeach Trump) trying to dictate HHS policy for his miserable grifting from his donors.

Furanocoumarins. Its an enzyme tbey have that blocks the bodys ability to regulate the steady break down of certain drugs. You get it much faster into you system than you should. So an all day slow release becomes a big whopping loading dose. Conversely with otber drugs it can interfere with the drug making it into the target cells, so you get less than you should.

Vastly oversimplified.

hospitalist - the way I'm using it - means they are employed by the hospital system, they aren't in private practice.

“I don’t think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset.

Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies.
A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.”

What it comes down to is NOT about premature deaths or immune system compromise or even dead kids. It comes down to the self-proclaimed educated make the wrong call, and compromising their own health in the process by taking their own advice and shooting up the clot shot...AND noticing all those great unwashed rubes were better prepared and smarter than they were throughout the conceived crisis.

They hate those who didn't fall for the "vaccine" hype. Because they wish they had done the same. All this chattering (like in this article) is an attempt at rationalizing their stupidity.

===
Because some doctors have a practic3 where they will see you in the hospital, but also in the office as your primary care doc. Hospitalists only practice in the hospital. They do not become your primary doctor after you are discharged. Also hospitalists are typically employees of the hospital. Not in private practice. At least in the midwest.

#9: THE VACCINES DO NOT STOP TRANSMISSION OR INFECTION

Wait, what? Aren't these vaccines supposed to be what we've been waiting for to "go back to normal"? Nope.

Why do you think we're getting all these conflicting messages about needing to practice social distancing and wear masks AFTER we get a vaccine?

The reason is because these vaccines were never designed to stop transmission OR infection.

If you don't believe me, I refer you again to the papers submitted to the FDA I linked to above.

The primary endpoint (what the vaccines are meant to accomplish) is to lower your symptoms.

Sounds like just about every other drug on the market right?

That's it... lowering your symptoms is the big payoff we've been waiting for.

Does that seem completely pointless to anyone but me?

321 The possibility -- perhaps the likelihood -- that a handful of vaccine-related deaths occurred and were downplayed by medical authorities does not undermine the fact that COVID vaccination, on the whole, has prevented death on a massive scale.

(1) "handful" of "vaccine"-related deaths? Handful is 5. There have been a LOT more than 5 "vaccine"-related deaths.

(2) It is not a "fact" that the "vaccine" prevented any deaths whatsoever. Considering it did not prevent transmission nor spread of the virus. However, it is an actual fact that the "vaccine" caused harm and death on a large scale.

I knew the testing was all theater early on. We were supposed to be tested at random. So I went twice. The second time they left me on my own to take my nose sample. I simply put the q-tip into the jar without probing my proboscis.

Result: Negative. Not "We did not have material for a sample; please come in again." Just "negative."

I stopped going, and there were never any repercussions. There was no enforcement. They just expected us to comply like good little workers.

My Doc is not pleased. In order to keep privileges at Big Hospital he had to go completely on board. Now, it's as others have stated, the room has a computer instead of my hand written chart. The computer, which is linked to Big Hospital, owns the room. I'm thinking, as soon as he gets everything paid off, he's out of there.

331 That's why we have so many foreign doctors, the American brains that would have become doctors have gone into other businesses.

People don't realize the historical, independent mindset of doctors. That's why they called it a practice. It was like a fighter pilot; they received the training then it was their judgement, their call on what it was and how to treat it. It was work in the safe zone.

333 I can't lose more respect for anyone like the way I lost respect for doctors. I was working as an RN when the whole thing blew up in 2020. I ended the best career I ever had over the stupid shot. Worth it. Extremely personally painful and destructive, but worth it.

I think the reason they killed off the J&J vaccine was not really because of the adverse events. It was the one-dose nature of it, making it impossible to hide the adverse events. When people had adverse events from the J&J vax, nobody could use the rhetorical cover they used with the other two-dose vaccines. That cover being that you are not considered "vaccinated" after one dose.
Therefore, "you are not having a reaction to the shot we just fucking gave you, because you haven't been vaccinated yet."
I can't believe the straightfaced cons they pulled.

And no one will be punished. Because culpability is spread all over our society from top to bottom. It's like murdering Julius Caesar, if everybody has a knife in their hand, then nobody can be punished.

335 It was good for a season or two, but it just got tedious to me. I can not imagine it being "bingable" at any level. Has binge watching changed what they produce? House was the same story over and over each week -- you can't do that anymore.

I would watch it when it aired and it didn't bother me much until it hit streaming, then seeing how much of an ass House was in a 3 hour stretch made me hate the show when it was just 'meh' before

I think having a week between shows would let you decompress from it and you don't remember how awful he was. When it was binge watching, I began to wonder why would anyone put their careers on the line for him when he's been a complete douche bucket for 3 episodes in a row?
