Covid-19 And The Explosive Pfizer Documents

A time of fear and panic   

Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses which cause disease in mammals and birds. The SARS-CoV-2 virus manifests as Covid-19 disease in humans. It is highly contagious and spreads very fast.

Covid-19 became a global public health emergency in 2020. Today, over five years later, it doesn’t really matter whether the virus was released into the environment from Wuhan (China) or Fort Detrick (USA), and whether carelessly or  motivatedly. But at that time, global media went into overdrive with accusations and counter-accusations, and more importantly, into stoking public fear of contracting Covid-19, as disease occurrence counts became front-page headlines, and breaking news on TV, accompanied by heated debates.

Public fear of Covid-19 spread perhaps even faster than the Corona virus itself. Governments swung into action to deal with public demands from their respective constituencies, for protection. Advised by the scientific-medical community, governments prescribed preventive “social distancing”, wearing of approved masks, 20-seconds soap-and-water handwashing, and cleaning door handles and knobs with hand-sanitizers, etc. It is another matter that the bulk of India’s population could not observe most of these preventive measures, but a whole new line of businesses sprung up to cater to these requirements.

Governments created hospitals dedicated for treating Covid patients, and priority for Covid patients in hospitals caused patients of non-Covid-19 diseases to be effectively downgraded for treatment. Production of medical oxygen and medicines (e.g., Remdesivir) to treat Covid-19, were ramped up. And, most importantly, the pharmaceutical industry swung into action to produce vaccines against Covid-19.

In India, at 8:00 PM on March 24, 2020, PM Modi announced a 21-days national lockdown, starting midnight 24-25 March, to break the chain of Covid infection. This had the unintended consequence of daily wage workers losing income, and migrant workers trekking back to their homes, even hundreds of kilometers distant. The national economy was seriously hit by the combination of Covid incidence and the 4-hours-notice lockdown. Some states even amended laws seeking to prevent workers from migrating.

Public demand, support of the scientific-medical fraternity and WHO, the advice of Dr.Anthony Fauci (then lead member of the White House Corona Virus Task Force), and national public health officials, together led national governments across the world to begin and fast-track manufacture of anti-Covid vaccines. Budgets were re-arranged to cater for manufacture, purchase, refrigerated storage, administering vaccines and protective clothing for medical and paramedical staff, who worked tirelessly and heroically non-stop for days on end. Laboratories sprung up to conduct rapid tests for Covid detection, and newspapers and TV channels provided Covid incidence and deaths due to Covid. Governments arranged logistics to reach and administer vaccines even to people living in remote places. All in all, it was a huge logistical challenge to governments.

A tragic spin-off of all this was that fear of infection spreading and public health rules, denied people access to the dead bodies of their dear ones who had succumbed to Covid, and for conducting last rites. Corpses were hurriedly cremated or buried in shallow graves, often with the use of JCBs. Following heavy rainfall in some places, Covid shallow graves got exposed, and pictures in the media shocked and angered some sections of the public, and further heightened the fear factor.

The Covid pandemic was a global time of fear, death, uncertainty and economic loss for millions of people, and a downturn for national economies. But the pandemic also brought out the noble and selfless work of the medical and paramedical fraternity and anonymous individuals and voluntary bodies, to provide Covid relief measures especially where government measures were inadequate or failed.

Was world response to Covid a fear-induced over-reaction?

On January 30, 2020, almost at the start of the pandemic, when the official death toll was a mere 171, Covid-19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) [Ref.1].

Today, based on data compiled from reports, tables and spreadsheets of WHO, the worldwide Covid deaths reported were 7,070,115, as updated to 20 October 2024 [Ref.2].  According to another source [Ref.3] worldwide total deaths due to Covid were 7,010,681, as updated to April 13, 2024. Hence the figure of total worldwide deaths due to Covid-19 starting January 2020 to the present nearly five years later, may be safely assumed as 7-million.

Without at all trivializing the seriousness of the Covid-19 pandemic, it may not be out of place to mention that hunger annually kills around 9-million people, and those who don’t die of hunger fall prey to other diseases, living to suffer those diseases. Also, WHO figures show that, of worldwide annual 56.9-million deaths, 54% are due to Ischaemic heart disease (IHD), Stroke, COPD, Lower respiratory infections, Alzheimer & other dementia, Cancers, Diabetes, Road injury, Diahorreal diseases and Tuberculosis, in that order. These do not account for war-and-conflict related disease and starvation deaths, apart from bullet-and-bomb deaths. [Ref.4]  

It therefore appears that the pervasive fear of Covid created by global media, caused millions of people and governments worldwide, to over-react to the threat and occurrence of Covid. Collaterally, due to the fear factor focussed on Covid-19, the global reaction to the pandemic resulted in almost complete neglect of the factors that caused deaths from other known killers mentioned in the previous paragraph.

However, the fear-factor regarding Covid-19 may not have been the sole factor driving people and governments to panic. Other connected matters are discussed in succeeding paragraphs.

Vaccines and trials

A vaccine is a biological preparation designed to provide active immunity against harmful viruses, by causing the body’s immune system to recognize and combat specific virus(es). Most traditional vaccines contain a weakened or inactivated form of a virus. Since a virus is a protein, modern biotechnology (recombinant genetic modification of the virus) can produce industrial-scale quantities of vaccines.

Vaccine production in large quantities is preceded by strictly monitored and scientifically regulated clinical trials in four phases, according to established protocols. These trials are primarily to assess the safety and efficacy of the vaccine, and may take several years in normal circumstances.

Trials include monitoring, collecting, and collating data concerning possible harmful effects of the vaccine itself, across large sections of the immunised population. Naturally, such activity involves close cooperation between national public health institutions and the researcher/producer of the vaccine.

It is well understood and accepted that a vaccine can have harmful effects. But so long as harmful effects are experienced and observed among a statistically insignificant proportion of the population, as confirmed by credible trial data, the vaccine is approved by national public health institutions.

Covid-19 vaccine production fast-tracked  

Urgent demands for vaccines galvanised the medical-scientific-academic community into creating a vaccine for the already identified Corona virus. Multi-millions-scale production of vaccine for human populations needed initiative from the pharmaceutical industry, which rose to the occasion in several countries. Administering any vaccine to the population calls for rigorous scientific clinical trials mandated by national/governmental public health institutions.

However, the extreme urgency for producing Covid-19 vaccine demanded accelerated clinical trials, which could generate sufficient credible scientific data, to demonstrate that the vaccine is safe and effective for most people who receive it, so as to satisfy national/governmental public health institutions to authorize Covid-19 vaccine marketing and administering.

Covid vaccines were produced in record time, by accelerating processes which, in normal circumstances would have taken about 10-years, to government-approved roll-out in a few months. Countries which could not produce vaccines purchased them from producers. All this was possible because the emergency production and sale-purchase of hundreds of millions of vaccine doses, and the connected finance and logistics from procurement to refrigerated transportation and storage, to administering to populations, and data capture, were facilitated by the political leadership of every country.

India

Public vaccination or other immunisation requires permission (termed “full market authorisation”) from the Central Drugs Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) under Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India.

Bharat Biotech International Ltd (BBIL) with ICMR and National Institute of Virology manufactured ‘Covaxin’, and Serum Institute of India Pvt Ltd (SIIL) manufactured the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine under the brand name ‘Covishield’. BBIL and SIIL separately applied to CDSCO, to seek full market authorisation, stating that more than a billion vaccine doses have been administered to beneficiaries under the national Covid-19 immunisation programme [Ref.5]. It appears that fast-tracking of production and population-wide administration of Covaxin and Covishield had not received CDSCO’s prior clearance, and that SIIL and BBIL were seeking post-facto full market authorisation.

UK and USA

In UK, AstraZeneca, a global science-led biopharmaceutical business corporation in collaboration with Oxford University, produced the ‘AstraZeneca’ vaccine, which is reportedly based upon ChAdOx1nCoV-19 recombinant mRNA technology.

In USA, Moderna in collaboration with the US National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases and the Biomedical Advanced Research & Development Authority, produced ‘Spikevax’ mRNA technology vaccine.

Also in USA, Pfizer-BioNTech produced ‘Comirnaty’ mRNA vaccine. With a manufacturing network and supply chain across four continents and over 165 countries, Pfizer was arguably the world’s largest Covid-19 vaccine producer.

Research concerning Covid-19 vaccine

Founded in 1849, today Pfizer is a global pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporation with headquarters in New York, USA. On its Pfizer India homepage, Pfizer assures “a system of vigilant quality control operating through the entire gamut of production to ensure the safety, efficacy and dependability of every Pfizer product”, and that Pfizer is “a collaboration that is based on a singular belief that everyone has a right to good health”.

Accordingly, Pfizer’s scientific research and testing facilities for its products, are state-of-the-art, befitting its enviable international stature. The qualifications and ability of specialty scientists on Pfizer’s payrolls, are impeccable. Understandably, Pfizer corporation has reach to apex persons in the political, economic and scientific hierarchy of all countries.

However, data reveals [Ref.6] that the integrity of the scientific and administrative processes and procedures that Pfizer and the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adopted, in rolling out Covid-19 vaccines, are questionable.

Summary of the revelations

Based on the primary source of Pfizer clinical trial documents released under court order, and related medical literature, ‘The Pfizer Papers’ features stunning new reports written by WarRoom/DailyClout research volunteers. These expose the facts that Pfizer’s mRNA Covid-19 vaccine clinical trial was deeply flawed; that Pfizer knew by November 2020 that its vaccine was neither safe nor effective; Pfizer knew by February 2021 that the injection was linked to a myriad of serious, even fatal, adverse events, and knew by April 2021 that the injections damaged the hearts of young people.

‘The Pfizer Papers’ reveals that the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – which asked the court to suppress these documents for 75 years – also knew about the shortfalls of Pfizer’s clinical trial and about the harms caused by the company’s mRNA Covid vaccine product. The FDA’s failure to fulfill its mission to “[protect] the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices”, allowed catastrophic damage to be inflicted on the US and global public [Ref.7]. 

A conspiracy theory?

A carefully referenced paper published [Ref.8] in a 2023 issue of the International Journal of Humanities Social Sciences and Education, presents “evidence” that the Covid-19 vaccines were designed for depopulation. However, it is not clear how depopulation by administering vaccines to whole populations, would benefit any entity – person, institution, government or non-State actor.

Although the depopulation angle may well be a conspiracy theory, the author, John D. Wyndham, explains the central role of the U.S Department of Defense (DoD) [Ref.8], quoting evidence revealed from a lawsuit filed by Brook Jackson, [Ref.9] a Clinical Research Auditor and Certified Clinical Research Professional, against Ventavia Research Group LLC, Pfizer Inc., and Icon PLC. Jackson proceeded against the firms for producing a fraudulently-tested pharmaceutical drug, namely a Covid-19 vaccine. The legal response from Pfizer was hidden for over a year, but when eventually made public, revealed that DoD was the prime mover in the Covid-19 vaccine response to the pandemic.

Wyndham alleges that DoD agreed to pay $1.95-billion, or $19.50/dose, for Pfizer‘s vaccine, provided Pfizer first secured FDA approval or Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), for the product.

Wyndham also writes: “Given the DoD‘s worldwide influence and connections, this can explain why so many countries and government agencies adopted the DoD‘s approach requiring vaccinations and lockdowns”.

The obvious question that comes to mind is why vaccine development and production should be funded from a U.S defense budget, instead of a U.S Administration department concerned with public health.

Epilogue

Law courts in the United States ordered public release of such startling data in the public interest. The truths revealed in the documents which were released into the public domain, were obviously heavily loaded against the U.S Administration, Pfizer Inc., and Moderna, which reportedly sought to suppress the information. 

The U.S courts’ adherence to the rule of law and to the desperate need for the truth to be revealed to the public in the face of opposition from the U.S Administration and powerful corporations, is testimony to the courage and integrity of the respective judges.

Ambassador Mike Huckabee Strikes Again

Ambassador Mike Huckabee Strikes Again

Philip Giraldi, Dec 15, 2025

So Israel, which has killed hundreds of Gazans, many of them children, since the so-called Ceasefire was declared on October 11^th, has now stated that it is currently intending to maintain its “yellow line” occupation of more than half of the Gaza Strip. That will likely eventually make most of Gaza de facto part of Israel and the Palestinians who once upon a time lived there are shit out of luck, as the old saying goes. And as for those benighted creatures who actually believe that ceasing fire means one must stop shooting it is perhaps past time to ask the man behind the “Peace Plan” which bears the name “Trump” what is going on. Does peace means you disarm the Palestinians so they cannot defend themselves while giving Israel both freedom to occupy their land and to use it as a shooting gallery for killing kids out looking for something to eat? After all, stealing someone else’s land is something that the Jewish state is very good at, see more below.

So Donald Trump, who is assiduously seeking the next Nobel Peace Prize based on his claimed performance is the man in charge of what goes down, but he has been silent and by his presumed reticence he gives Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli army a green light to kill at will and lie about what it does. And that silence prevails up and down the line of the morons devoid of any compassion or moral scruples that Trump has somehow collected and appointed to high office in his criminal enterprise administration. Since the State Department and the so-called War Department are not actually interested in what is going on in the Middle East or anywhere else, except insofar as they can steal oil and other commodities while telling foreigners whom to vote for, one might actually be tempted to call the relevant US Embassy to find out what is happening and to complain if it comes to that. But forget about calling the Embassy in Israel’s illegal capital Jerusalem as it is Trump-land, inhabited by a creature who calls himself an ambassador but who really is an ultra-Zionist corrupted apologist for everything Israel does and every crime that it commits. And he bases it all on the Bible!

I have already written how US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee recently met with Israeli-Jewish American spy Jonathan Pollard, whose claim to fame is that he stole more secrets from the United States than anyone else ever has and that includes Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who were executed in 1953 for their theft of nuclear weapons technology to benefit the old Soviet Union. Pollard is a hero in Israel who was pardoned by Donald Trump at the urging of Huckabee to allow him to emigrate to Israel after his prison term ended. It was a friendly meeting according to Pollard and Huckabee did not bother to inform Washington about what he was doing. Trump did not respond as he should have, which would have been to fire Huckabee.

Mike Huckabee is your typical evangelical Israel-firster out of Arkansas but the mystery is why anyone would appoint him to the position he now holds, suggesting that Netanyahu might have given Trump his marching orders on whom to pick. Admittedly, Trump is quite capable of making terrible choices all on his own, witness also the choice of his former lawyer David Friedman as ambassador during his first term. Friedman only qualified for the post by virtue of his being Jewish and a defender of all things Israeli, so one might hypothesize that there is some kind of pattern vis-à-vis who winds up in Jerusalem. And the only thing lost in the process is any sense of a US Ambassador to the Jewish state serving to benefit the United States and the American people, which appears to be irrelevant. Friedman, and now Huckabee, are consumed with making the case that Israel can do no wrong because the Jewish people have been Chosen by God. So, if you are an American traveling in Israel and need help, the US Embassy would be the last place you would go to.

Israel exceptionalism when it comes to any kind of response from official Washington no matter what crimes it might commit against Americans are numerous. One might cite cases like that of Rachel Corrie, deliberately run over and killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003, who was ignored by the US Embassy, as was Shireen Abu Akleh, a journalist covering the Gaza genocide who was targeted and killed by an Israeli Army sniper in 2022. The US Embassy, far from demanding explanations for killing Americans, decided in both cases to let Israel look into it, with predictable results. And then there is the story of the USS Liberty attack by Israel fighter planes and torpedo boats in June 1967, which killed 34 seamen and injured over 172 in international waters off Egypt in an attempt to sink the intelligence gathering ship. President Lyndon B Johnson and his Defense Secretary Robert McNamara immediately called back US aircraft sent to assist the ship and then arranged for a cover-up. Johnson reportedly said that he would rather “see that ship go to the bottom than upset his good friend Israel.” The survivors from the Liberty are still reported to be waiting for Congress to do something, but the US national legislature is also controlled by Israel and its friends.

More recently, the United States government has notably not condemned Israel, or even tried to restrain it, over the slaughter in Gaza. On the contrary it enables the war crime by funding it, arming Israel, and providing it with political cover for whatever it does. At a recent “Ambassador Summit 2025” held in Jerusalem before an audience of 1,000 American evangelical “pastors” who had been flown in by the Israel lobby for the event, Huckabee gave his “take” countering reports of Israel’s recent reported atrocities. He repeated the neocon claims that Israel has a “right to defend itself” and expanded that to attack allegations that he regards as false. For example, he explained that Israel did not attack the State of Qatar on September 9^th, 2025. The surprise attack against a country with which Israel was not at war had in fact targeted the leadership of Hamas, housed in a Qatari government residential complex, as it met to discuss an active ceasefire proposal presented by the United States. Huckabee argued oddly, contrary to the evidence and the clear intent, that Israel only targeted a single terrorist gathering, not a sovereign state—an action fully aligned with its right to protect its citizens from terrorism. Addressing a second claim, Huckabee argued that Israel is not blackmailing Donald Trump with information contained in the Jeffrey Epstein files, without providing any evidence that that was not the case as Epstein was clearly an Israeli intelligence asset who was working for Mossad and who exploited a close relationship with Trump. And, on the question of whether Israel was involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Huckabee firmly dismissed the rumor, contending that there was absolutely no reason for Israel to target him, which is manifestly false as there were plenty of good reasons to do so, just as in the cases of the JFK killing and 9/11. Huckabee comes off as a cheerleader for the Jewish state as well being in a fully protective mode when it comes to Netanyahu and his manifestly evil associates.

What is odd, particularly given Huckabee’s Bible thumping, is the fact that he and the Embassy and the Trump Administration have not even done anything about the persecution of Christians by the Israeli government and its various constituencies. Trump has recently gone after the Nigerian government, threatening military intervention, for the problems Christians are allegedly having, but has no concern for churches being bombed and Christians killed in Gaza and on the West Bank. Admittedly, the Christians in question are Palestinians which means that they are included in the shoot to kill policies coming from Netanyahu and the fanatics that he has supporting him.

Israel has been engaged in making Christian worship more difficult both in Jerusalem and all along the West Bank. This has included restricting access to Christian holy sites in both Jerusalem and in Bethlehem on feast days like Christmas and Easter and allowing Jewish extremists, many of them the so-called settlers, to gather outside churches to spit on and verbally and physically abuse Christian worshipers, especially targeting foreign Christian visitors. Christian churches are even vandalized as Israeli police stand by and do nothing.

On the West Bank Christian villages are under siege, with settlers attacking farmers, destroying crops and olive trees, and killing livestock. Recently, Israeli settler groups began clearing and occupying land in and adjacent to the Christian Palestinian town of Beit Sahour, the largest remaining Christian town on the West Bank, located just east of Bethlehem. The settlers have placed mobile homes on a hilltop known by locals as Ush al-Ghurab and announced the establishment of a new settler outpost called Shdema. According to a report by the Balasan Initiative for Human Rights, the new Shdema outpost “marks a substantial escalation in Israel’s settlement expansion and territorial consolidation in the Bethlehem district.” When the new settlement is completed, Beit Sahour will be largely cut off, confined by Israeli Army controlled “Jews only” roads. The villagers will be unable to sustain themselves without any land to farm and will have to leave, if they can find anywhere to go to. This is typical Israeli government supported action against the Christian as well as Muslim communities and what do Mike Huckabee and his Embassy do about it? And Donald Trump, who claims to defend Christians? Nothing!

The State Department and American Embassies have been at it again in another recent case which has just surfaced in Congress, regarding an American journalist Dylan Collins who was wounded by the Israeli Army in Lebanon. Last week, a small group of Democratic lawmakers, joined by the Committee to Protect Journalists and Amnesty International, called on Israel and the Trump administration to carry out a full and independent investigation into the targeting of journalists by Israel as it initiated its wars on Gaza and Lebanon after October 7^th 2023. Israel has tried to avoid publicity about its war crimes and has both restricted access to Gaza and also particularly targeted journalists for killing, with nearly 300 journalists killed in Gaza, more than the total of journalists that died in the entire Second World War!

On October 13^th 2023, Collins and a group of highly visibly identified journalists were hit by two shells, which eyewitnesses at the scene said came from Israeli Merkava tanks positioned nearby, wounding Collins and several others and also killing one journalist. As a US citizen, Collins approached both State Department and the Biden and Trump administrations to get answers and transparency but was met with “deafening silence.” In February 2024, a United Nations inquiry determined that the Israeli tank had caused the death and injuries by launching two 120mm shells at a group of “clearly identifiable journalists”, in breach of international law. “The firing at civilians, in this instance clearly identifiable journalists, constitutes a violation of UNSCR 1701 (2006) and international law,” said the seven-page Unifil report, referring to Security Council resolution 1701.

The point to be made is that the United States, reviled throughout much of the world for its cover-up of Israel atrocities in the Middle East, has nothing to gain from sending out ambassadors who are little more than apologists for Israel. Nor does it benefit when it goes to extremes to cover up Israeli crimes, including its unconscionable denial of the genocide that is still going on. American citizens, like Collins, Corrie and Abu Akleh, who get caught up in Israeli war crimes are among those who wind up paying the price and the impression that the United States does not play fair when it comes to supporting the rule of law does serious damage to our country in terms of its international relations. And what does the United States gain in return for all that from Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel? Absolutely nothing?

The Five Big Lies of Vaccinology

The Five Big Lies of Vaccinology

People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will sooner or later believe it. 

― Walter Langer

------------------------------------

On Nov 19, 2025, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article entitled “Efficacy, Immunogenicity, and Safety of Modified mRNA Influenza Vaccine.” This article purportedly reviewed the results of Pfizer’s Phase 3 clinical trials testing its experimental, mRNA-based, gene therapy injections for Influenza, which Pfizer presents as an alternative to traditional Influenza vaccines.

Two weeks later, on December 5, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted 8-3 to end the recommendation in the CDC’s pediatric vaccine schedule that all American children receive the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) vaccine at birth. This recommendation would bring the CDC’s HBV vaccine recommendations closer to those in numerous other developed nations, countries that have both better overall pediatric health than the United States and no surplus pediatric HBV deaths.

To the casual observer, neither of these events may seem very noteworthy. However, in the post-Covid world of medicine, vaccinology, and politics, both fueled controversy that shows no sign of ending soon. Why?

The New England Journal of Medicine article of Pfizer’s self-conducted study of its own product has been extensively analyzed by independent reviewers. It has been identified as an object lesson in the scientific fraud that is endemic in vaccine research, development, and marketing. Detailed review of the study has revealed multiple systematic techniques of deceptive research methods, omission and concealment of unfavorable data, and outright misrepresentation of results. 

The ACIP panel’s decision, which represents a minor change in the previously sacrosanct – if ever-expanding – CDC pediatric vaccine schedule, has been met with an onslaught of hair-on-fire, alarmist proclamations by the vaccine industry and its minions of impending disease and death in American children. These claims are unsupported by the existing scientific data and bear little relationship to objective reality as a whole.

The reasons these two events have sparked such controversy are:

• The New England Journal of Medicine article – now thoroughly deconstructed – exposes the brazen, systematic dishonesty of both vaccine development and the clinical trial process as a whole. 
• Meanwhile, the results of the study, once fully uncovered and comprehensively reviewed, shatter the viability of the mRNA gene therapy platform as a substitute for conventional vaccines.
• The unhinged response to the ACIP decision reveals the entire pediatric vaccine schedule to be a house of cards, built on falsehoods, that cannot withstand any criticism, reform, or revision whatsoever.

The awful truth (and it is both awful and the truth) is that vaccinology is overwhelmingly a façade, constructed on a shaky foundation of lies. In the wake of these two recent controversies, it is instructive to enumerate the five great lies propping up vaccinology (plus two Honorable Mentions). I shall outline them here, and provide a more detailed discussion of each in forthcoming essays.

The Five Big Lies of Vaccinology

Big Lie #1: Equating Antibody Production with Immunity to Disease

Big Lie #2: Using Fake Placebos

Big Lie #3: Insisting My Immunity is Dependent on Your Vaccination

Big Lie #4: Declaring Multiple Simultaneous Injections to be Safe

Big Lie #5: Declaring Vaccines Fundamentally “Safe and Effective” as a Class

Honorable Mention 1: Declaring mRNA Gene Therapies to be “Vaccines”

Honorable Mention 2: Allowing Criminal Corporations to Conduct their own Clinical Studies 

In upcoming essays, we will analyze each of these Big Lies of Vaccinology. In the process, we shall see how each Big Lie is interdependent upon others, and how the entire vaccine narrative depends upon this web of falsehoods. We shall see why vaccine zealots such as Peter Hotez and Paul Offit would refuse to attend the ACIP meeting – which they were invited to do – and in fact why they refuse to debate these points.

The reckoning that is taking place regarding the vaccine industry is overdue, but it is hardly unique.

There was a time within living memory when pre-frontal lobotomy was considered cutting edge medicine (pun intended). Its founder won the Nobel Prize for Medicine. 

There was a time within living memory when physicians accepted corporate payment to convince the public that cigarette smoking was safe.

There was a time – very recently – when mainstream medicine actively promoted OxyContin and other deadly narcotics as safe and minimally addictive. Hundreds of thousands died as a result.

The bloom is off the rose for the vaccine industry. It is long past time for its accounting. May we all open our minds, use our heads, and face the reality of this subject.

Did the Draconian Lockdowns Kill More People than Covid-19?

Did the Draconian Lockdowns Kill More People than Covid-19?

Peter C. Gøtzsche   December 2, 2025   Public Health, Society, Vaccines  

Brownstone Journal

Did the Draconian Lockdowns Kill More People than Covid-19?

People familiar with respiratory viruses know it is impossible to lock out such viruses by locking down the society. Yet, in virtually all countries, the politicians panicked to such an extent that, two months into the COVID-19 pandemic, I dubbed it the COVID-19 panic.¹

The lockdowns were foolish and illogical. Denmark closed its borders with Germany and Sweden when we had more coronavirus than they had. Golf was forbidden, which led to the absurdity that you were allowed to walk on the fairways if you didn’t look like a golfer. Tennis courts were closed, although gatherings of four people were not forbidden. Even outdoor running clubs closed.² Life as we knew it stopped, on government orders. 

There were early warnings but they were not heeded. After India introduced a lockdown three months into the pandemic, migrant labourers feared that hunger would kill them before the coronavirus did.³ Ten months into the pandemic, the World Bank estimated that it had caused an increase of about 100 million people living in extreme poverty,⁴ and poverty kills.

The pandemic saw a new breed of people who had become experts overnight but knew very little about the issues. They constantly appeared on TV with sinister messages about the need for lockdowns and many other interventions, including dressing whole populations as bank robbers with face masks, although they don’t work.⁵

Curiously, governments all over the world preferred to listen to the false gurus rather than to the real experts. I think it was because they supported the official narratives, ideas and dogma, which were flimsily created on the spot by politicians eager to be seen as powerful people who didn’t sit on their hands but did something. 

The pseudo experts were also loved by the media. I wrote in a newspaper that after a year with the same Danish “expert” on TV, Allan Randrup Thomsen, a laboratory researcher, who was always worried and uttered trifles virtually every day about the pandemic anyone could have said, I needed a new remote control because I had used the mute button so much that it had stopped working.⁶ When I asked a TV journalist why they always interviewed Thomsen, he said it was because Thomsen was well prepared as he read what some journalists had written! 

Only Sweden had a real expert the politicians listened to and respected, even after a public outrage⁷ when mortality figures became rather high in early 2020 compared with the other Nordic countries,^8,9 which was because Sweden had failed to protect the elderly in the beginning. State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell stood his ground and advised that Sweden should not change its policy, which was to keep the society open and not mandate face masks, which were rarely seen in Sweden. 

Sweden was a lone star in the darkness. I think it was the only country that didn’t panic and did the right things, and it had the lowest excess mortality in the whole western world during the pandemic^9-11 (excess mortality is the increase in all-cause mortality during the pandemic compared with prepandemic levels). 

The Panickers

The most harmful panickers were researchers from the Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at the Imperial College London.^12,13 The modelling exercises of Neil Ferguson and his team played a preeminent role in shutting down most of the world in early 2020, a couple of months into the pandemic. A year later, historian Phillip Magness wrote that the exaggerated forecasts of this modelling team “may well constitute one of the greatest scientific failures in modern human history.”¹³

I agree, and 2020 became the most surreal and shocking year in my whole professional life. The Danish Board of Health claimed it was documented that face masks were effective, which wasn’t true, and our government decided to kill all our 17 million mink only because a mutation had been found that might make future vaccines less effective, which was also wrong.^2,14 In Denmark, we have four pigs for every citizen, and I asked in a newspaper: “What if our pigs got swine flu and there was a mutation in the flu virus? Should all our 25 million pigs then be killed? Where will this madness end?”¹⁴

Magness wrote that Ferguson’s team claimed credit for saving millions of lives through the lockdown policies and explained that they arrived at this figure through a ludicrously unscientific exercise where they purported to validate their model by using its own hypothetical projections as a counterfactual of what would happen without lockdowns.¹³

It became very dirty. Already one month after Ferguson’s model was published, researchers in Uppsala used it and showed clear signs of faltering. Later, at the one-year mark, Sweden had a little over 13,000 COVID-19 fatalities, smaller on a per-capita basis than many European lockdown states and a far cry from the 96,000 deaths predicted.¹³

In a House of Lords hearing, Ferguson snapped back, disavowing any connection to the Swedish results: “First of all, they did not use our model. They developed a model of their own.”¹³ This wasn’t true, but Ferguson continued deceiving people: “Imperial’s work is being conflated with that of an entirely separate group of researchers.” 

Ferguson was dishonest. He had made country-level projections, which few people would find as they were hidden in an Excel appendix to the College’s report, and they showed that their results for Sweden were nearly identical to those of the Uppsala team. 

How Effective Were the COVID Vaccines?

Yet again, the foremost deceptor was the team at the Imperial College London. They published a seriously misleading modelling study in a Lancet journal about the global impact of the first year of COVID-19 vaccination.¹⁵

It became the most-cited study of the number of lives saved, which they estimated as 14.4 million avoided COVID deaths and 19.8 million excess deaths, with remarkably narrow uncertainty intervals, which their data and methods did not allow: 13.7 to 15.9 million and 19.1 to 20.4 million, respectively. 

In 2025, John Ioannidis and colleagues published a study that estimated that, during five years, from 2020 to 2024, the vaccines had averted 2.5 million deaths, with sensitivity analyses suggesting between 1.4 and 4.0 million.¹⁶

Considering that the College only looked at the first year of vaccination, the discrepancy between the two estimates is gigantic.

Even so, there were critical comments on John’s paper on the journal’s website that I agreed with and I also published my own.¹⁷ I noted that I had never seen a paper with so many assumptions before and that I found the estimates for vaccine effectiveness much too high, e.g. a reduction of 75% in mortality overall and 50% for the Omicron variant. 

The essential issue is that there were, and always will be, too many assumptions for estimating the effect of the COVID vaccines on mortality reliably. 

AstraZeneca’s Self-Congratulatory Estimates of Lives Saved

In March 2024, AstraZeneca withdrew its COVID adenovirus based vaccine from the market worldwide, officially due to a surplus of updated vaccines that targeted new variants of the virus,¹⁸ but with drug companies, we rarely know what the real reason is. 

Many newspapers quoted an AstraZeneca statement that, “According to independent estimates, over 6.5 million lives were saved in the first year of use alone,” but strangely, not a single newspaper provided any link to the source. 

As I got nowhere by searching on the Internet, I went to the company website where, mysteriously, I could not find anything either about the saved 6.5 million lives. But in a press release from May 2022, the vaccine, called Vaxzevria, was claimed to have “helped prevent 50 million COVID-19 cases, five million hospitalisations, and saved more than one million lives worldwide, based on model outcomes assessing COVID-19 worldwide.”¹⁹

These were monstrous lies. COVID-19 vaccines cannot prevent infection of other people because they produce IgG antibodies in the blood, not IgA antibodies in the respiratory mucosa.²⁰ The whole idea of getting vaccinated to protect others, which we have heard constantly about in the media, is simply not true.

Interestingly, the 6.5 million lives saved were said to be an “independent” estimate, and the reference to the 1 million lives saved had only an internal reference: “Data on File Number: REF-131228.”

Non-traceable statements and unavailable data on file in a drug company should not be trusted and I could not find any of them, even though I searched intensely on the AstraZeneca website. But I found a press release from November 2021, six months earlier, which also claimed that 1 million lives had been saved.²¹ So, apparently no lives were saved between November 2021 and May 2022. 

Pascal Soriot, AstraZeneca’s CEO, found it remarkable that a million lives were saved less than a year after the vaccine’s approval. So do I, but not for the same reason. 

I suggest that Neil Ferguson and his team at the Imperial College London look for highly paid jobs in the drug industry. The industry also loves wild exaggerations about how dangerous diseases are and how many lives they can save. This is what they announce all the time. As I have explained, the drug industry doesn’t sell drugs, they sell lies about drugs.²²

Can We See Anything on the Mortality Graphs?

If the huge numbers of lives saved claimed by Ferguson and AstraZeneca were correct, it should be possible to see an effect of the vaccine rollout on mortality in a graph. But the cumulative vaccine rollout and mortality ascribed to COVID are both smooth graphs:^23,24

In contrast to the COVID vaccines, the measles vaccine is highly effective and when it was introduced in the USA in 1963, the incidence of measles dropped immediately and dramatically:²⁵

These data are from the CDC, which, in an earlier publication, showed a graph that went further back in time. It is no longer available but is included in my vaccine book.² The graph shows that the measles incidence was rather stable before the vaccine came on the market (the arrow is misplaced, should be moved two years to the left): 

The major differences to measles are that COVID-19 was caused by a new virus, highly likely manufactured in Wuhan,^8,26 and that it was still spreading in a non-immune population when the vaccines were introduced, in December 2020 onwards. This makes it difficult to conclude anything about lives saved with the vaccines, but the graphs do not suggest any major effect on mortality. 

People Killed by the Draconian Lockdowns

It is futile to try to estimate the number of lives saved by the Covid vaccines. There were far too few deaths in the randomised trials to be of any use and the uncertainties in observational studies are far too many and too large to allow trustworthy estimates.

But in the trials, there was an interesting difference between vaccine types. Overall mortality for the mRNA vaccines was not reduced, risk ratio 1.03 (95% confidence interval 0.63 to 1.71) whereas it was reduced for the adenovirus-vector vaccines, risk ratio 0.37 (0.19 to 0.70).²⁷

One of the many uncertainties is that the virus mutates rapidly. Another obstacle is that the WHO advised already in April 2020 that:²⁸ “A death due to COVID-19 is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID disease (e.g. trauma).” 

This meant that some deaths ascribed to COVID were not caused by the virus, and the opposite was also true. Some people who died for various reasons without having been tested for COVID might have been killed by it. 

The lockdowns killed a huge amount of people but we will never get anywhere near a realible estimate, for at least seven reasons. 

First, as noted, lockdowns increased poverty dramatically.⁴ In an analysis by John Ioannidis and colleagues that compared 17 vulnerable countries defined as those with a low gross domestic product or large income inequality (which included the USA and the UK) with 17 other countries, there were 3,046 excess death per million inhabitants in the former group and only 500 per million in the latter.²⁹

Second, it has been estimated, albeit in a modelling study, that lockdowns, lack of staff, and fear of getting infected increased maternal and child mortality in low- and middle-income countries so much that hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost.³⁰ This is disastrous because it is loss of lives right from life’s beginning, childbirth, and the deaths of tens of thousands of young mothers. In contrast, the median age of those who died from COVID in the UK was 83 years.³¹

Third, people have died because they were not allowed to go to hospital, e.g. young people with meningitis. 

Fourth, people have died because they were afraid of going to hospital, as they might get a COVID infection. Hospital avoidance behaviour has been documented for heart disease,^32-34 which led to increased mortality for heart attacks^35,36 and heart failure.³⁴ In Hong Kong, emergency department visits dropped by 25% while the 28-day mortality of non-COVID-19 deaths increased by 8%.³⁷

Fifth, the lockdowns increased risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, e.g. because of low physical activity, stress, and unhealthy diet, and for other diseases, too, e.g. psychiatric ones.

Sixth, living closely together increases the risk of dying from a respiratory virus substantially because people get a high infectious dose and therefore may not mount an adequate immune response before it is too late. This was shown for measles in ground-breaking research by Peter Aaby, both in Africa³⁸ and in one hundred-year-old historic Danish data.³⁹ During the pandemic, people were asked to work from home, and if infected, they were quarantined, which increased mortality. The index person – the one who gets infected in the community – will often have a good prognosis because of low viral load, but when that person is ordered to stay at home, secondarily infected people in the household will have a considerably higher risk of dying.

Seventh, deaths caused by the lockdowns are still occurring. For example, lack of cancer care may lead to shorter survival in future. 

However, we could at least estimate how many lives that might have been saved, if other countries had had the same low excess mortality as Sweden. In the United States and in the United Kingdom, around 600,000 and 100,000 lives could have been avoided.⁴⁰ These estimates agree reasonably well with the difference in population size. They do not take into account that many factors are different, e.g. many more people are obese in the US than in Sweden. On the other hand, that was also the case before the pandemic. Ioannidis estimated that the United States would have had 1.6 million fewer deaths if it had performed as Sweden.²⁹

The Total Death Toll of COVID

Since we cannot separate virus deaths from deaths caused by lockdowns, we are left to estimate the total number of deaths the pandemic caused.

A study comprising the years 2020 and 2021 estimated that there were 6 million COVID deaths worldwide and 18 million (95% uncertainty interval 17 to 20 million) excess deaths (which include the COVID deaths).⁴¹ Another study, which also included only 2020 and 2021, provided a similar estimate, an excess mortality of 16 million (15 to 17 million).⁴² 

In Europe, 66% of the excess mortality during 2020 to 2023 occurred in the first two years.¹¹ If we adjust the average worldwide estimate of 17 million for this, we get 26 million excess deaths. 

The Economist has also estimated the total number of excess deaths in the world during the pandemic.⁴⁰ A graph shows that the estimated number of COVID deaths was 7 million whereas the estimated number of excess deaths was 27 million, with an uncertainty interval from 19 to 37 million. This is remarkably similar to my adjusted estimate of 26 million. 

The 34 countries studied by Ioannidis et al. had a total population of 983 million.²⁹ If we extrapolate their 2 million excess deaths to the world, we get 17 million deaths. But as there were vastly more deaths in poor countries, this is likely a substantial underestimate.

Conclusions

The two current NIH directors have explained that we need a new pandemic playbook so that we don’t repeat the mistakes.⁴³ The subtitle of their paper is telling: “The old one failed to cope with COVID and may even have caused it.” They outline how insane it was to allow the dangerous gain-of-function experiments in Wuhan with US financial support that rendered a harmless virus deadly. 

The combined effect of fabricating the virus, the serious lack of appropriate safety precautions in the Wuhan lab in China, and the non-evidence-based draconian lockdowns created one of the worst man-made disasters ever in public health, with an estimated 27 million deaths.  

China has killed many people before. The so-called Great Leap Forward under Chairman Mao is estimated to have led to between 15 and 55 million deaths in mainland China during 1959 to 1961. Mao’s so-called cultural revolution from 1966 to 1976 likely also caused millions of deaths. 

For comparison, the number of deaths in the two world wars has been estimated as 40 million in WW1 and 70 to 85 million in WW2. 

What I miss the most is for the WHO to call for a total ban on gain-of-function research. Perhaps there is a reason for WHO’s foot dragging.² On December 31, 2019, Taiwan alerted WHO to the risk of human-to-human transmission of a new virus, but WHO did not pass on the concern to other countries. China had ensured that Taiwan is not a member of WHO, and WHO’s cozy relationship with China was criticised, particularly when WHO overly praised China’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak despite the fact that China did everything it could to cover it up.^2,8,26

I consider this the biggest cover up in medical history and in the US, particularly Anthony Fauci also did what he could to deceive the public, which included lying to Congress and at a White House press briefing.^26,44

The COVID saga demonstrates that the monomanic focus on just one disease increases deaths from other diseases. This is not public health and I wonder why the media have betrayed us to the extent they have, acting as uncritical microphone holders for our politicians without asking the relevant questions. 

Time has come for the media to discuss the many millions of deaths all the unwise decisions have caused. We also need documentary films that can help us never forget what happened. Public memory is surprisingly short-lived.
