Pfizer, Fauci staffers sign off on research finding mRNA COVID vaccines produce worse antibodies

Second study in a month to find "class switch" to so-called IgG4 antibodies, known for their mild immune response, in mRNA recipients alone. Future of Johnson & Johnson's traditional vaccine unclear as demand craters.

Less than a month after the CDC marked the two-year anniversary of the first administered COVID-19 vaccine by telling Americans to get a bivalent booster, two peer-reviewed German studies have found that mRNA vaccines — the vast majority of the U.S. market — induce worse antibodies compared to traditional adenovirus vaccines.

The first paper, published in Science Immunology Dec. 22, focused on mRNA boosters, while the second, published in Frontiers in Immunology Jan. 12, found the same association with the two-dose primary series.

The Frontiers paper has the added distinction of a Pfizer scientist serving as its editor and one of Anthony Fauci's staffers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as a peer reviewer, suggesting the mRNA vaccine maker and feds were aware of a potential antibody problem around the time Omicron-targeting boosters were authorized.

The findings call into question the government's promotion of bivalent boosting even while regulators admit that newer COVID variants are evading vaccines.

New York City's Department of Health told residents Friday the XBB.1.5 Omicron subvariant now comprises three-quarters of documented COVID infections in the city.

It is "the most transmissible form of COVID-19 that we know of to date and may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated or already had COVID-19," the department tweeted. It didn't answer Just the News queries about the evidence for its claims about vaccination or prior infection.

The CDC said XBB.1.5 accounted for 43% of documented infections nationwide last week, with under 3% from BA.5, which is part of the bivalent cocktail. University of Tokyo virologists shared research Sunday that found XBB.1.5 exhibits "profound immune resistance" and "augmented ACE2 binding affinity," and hence "increased transmissibility," due to specific mutations.

While the World Health Organization deemed XBB variants "the most antibody-resistant variants to date" in a "rapid risk assessment" last week, it said XBB.1.5 specifically "does not carry any mutation known to be associated with potential change in severity."

The University of Lübeck researchers behind the Frontiers study confirmed the so-called IgG4 antibody "class switch" first observed by their peers at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg among healthcare workers in the Science Immunology paper, which was submitted 11 days earlier in August.

The Lübeck researchers recruited 157 people starting in December 2020 and split them into six groups, five of which had no known prior infection.

The first five received either two doses of Pfizer, Moderna or traditional AstraZeneca, or one dose of AstraZeneca followed by either a Pfizer or Moderna dose. The sixth group — infected but not hospitalized — received one or two Pfizer doses.

"[R]epeated immunization of [uninfected] individuals with the mRNA vaccines increased the proportion of the IgG4 subclass over time which might influence the long-term Ab [antibody] effector functions," according to the paper.

IgG4 is known for a mild immune response that "can even inhibit the effector functions of IgG1 and IgG3" antibodies, the researchers said. (Elsevier's ScienceDirect says IgG1 accounts for about 70% of total antibodies in adults, while IgG3 "mediates comparable functional activity.")

The groups that received any Moderna dose, whether a full primary series or just second dose, had a "higher potential to generate" long-term IgG4 responses compared to those who received any Pfizer dose, the paper says, speculating the higher mRNA concentration in Moderna might explain this.

Researchers didn't find a long-term IgG4 response in those who received two doses of AstraZeneca, the non-mRNA vaccine. (The study period was 270 days.)

The sixth group, with documented prior infection, which received the Pfizer vaccine, had "comparable long-term IgG subclass levels when compared to" uninfected Pfizer recipients, but "their IgG4 response seemed not to be or barely induced," the paper says. This result was "likely generated by re-activation" of memory B cells induced by natural infection.

"If I were to choose between mRNA vaccines and adeno-vaccines based on these data alone, I would choose adeno-vaccine," University of Southern Denmark global health professor Christine Stabell Benn tweeted. She coauthored a paper last year finding that Pfizer and Moderna vaccines didn't reduce all-cause mortality, but it has not been published yet.

Pfizer and NIAID did not respond to Just the News queries on when they knew mRNA vaccines might induce a less effective antibody response, given their employees' involvement in editing and reviewing the Frontiers paper. Fauci stepped down as NIAID director at year's end, after his scientist completed peer review.

"The long-term impact of the switch to IgG4 antibodies is unclear," former New York Times drug industry reporter Alex Berenson wrote in his newsletter, which analyzed both IgG4 studies. "But nearly all the wealthy countries that heavily used the mRNA jabs continue to endure waves of Covid and significant numbers of deaths," particularly those with little prior infection such as Japan.

Without a stark change in across-the-board COVID vaccination policy, the U.S. stands to become even more heavily reliant on mRNA vaccines amid uncertainty over Johnson & Johnson's place in the market.

U.S. regulators crippled the reputation of J&J's traditional vaccine by recommending a "pause" to investigate a handful of blood clots in spring 2021. They did not repeat the pause when acknowledging heart inflammation reports in mRNA recipients that summer.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that "slumping demand" led J&J to end manufacturing agreements for its traditional vaccine. It's also in arbitration with Merck, whose vaccine partnership was created under pressure from the Biden administration.

J&J said it has hundreds of millions of doses it will continue to make available "where needed," but didn't tell the Journal whether it will keep making its vaccine, which does not purport to target newer variants. The only other traditional COVID vaccine maker, Novavax, received authorization just six months ago.

It seems like more and more media sites are getting behind the anti-government narrative over Covid. The question I have is whether or not this is genuine, or part of severing Biden from the democRAT party because the country as a whole DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS ASSHOLE OR GLOBALIST INTERFERENCE. In other words, damage control with 2024 in mind. An article in USA Today mildly attacked the administration directly, joining other outlets that even gently, rebuke Biden. When 2024 hopefuls begin openly attacking Biden, then we’ll know the reasons for certain. To me, it looks like the idiot has outlived his usefulness and the left is planning for the not too distant future.

From student loans to masks, why does Biden want to keep us in a perpetual 'emergency'? It’s long past time for Biden to end the national emergency and give up the tremendous powers that go along with it.

We’ve made it to 2023, nearly three years since the pandemic hit the United States in full force. The virus is less deadly, we have effective vaccines and life is pretty much back to normal for most of us.

If you’re President Joe Biden, however, the COVID-19 “emergency” is still front and center.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think Biden actually believes we are still in a state of emergency. He admitted as much in September when he declared the pandemic was “over.”

Yet the president and his administration have enjoyed the extra powers that have accompanied the national emergency declaration. And they are working hard to cling to this authority, which has granted the executive branch broader control over our lives.

While the country has been distracted with the classified documents that keep popping up in Biden’s office, garage (near his treasured Corvette) and home, the administration continues its crusade to convince the courts the country remains in a state of emergency.

Biden still obsessed with debt 'cancellation'

Here are two examples.

First, the Biden administration won't give up on its plan to “forgive” hundreds of billions of dollars of federal student loan debt. Biden did this through executive action – with the national emergency over COVID-19 as the rationale. Several courts have found that Biden's order is an unconstitutional overreach, and the U.S. Supreme Court has taken up two cases and plans to hear arguments next month.

While loan forgiveness is on hold, Biden hasn’t stopped meddling in student debt, separating personal responsibility from borrowing decisions. In November, the administration once again extended the pause on student repayments, even after saying repeatedly it wouldn’t do so.

And this month, it issued a proposed rule for income-driven loan repayments. If Biden gets his way with debt cancellation, along with these other measures, the cost to taxpayers will balloon to as much as $600 billion – debt that the country can’t afford.

The Education Department calls efforts to block the forgiveness “callous” and claims the legal fight has created “financial uncertainty” for borrowers.

If anyone has created uncertainty, it’s the Biden administration and its illegal actions.

Second, the administration was in court this week grappling to reinstate the federal mask mandate for airplanes and other transportation. That order was struck down in April by a federal judge in Florida to the relief of the airlines and most travelers.

Yet the Biden Justice Department is arguing that the administration does hold the authority to require masks in the name of public health and that it's an "important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve.”

I have a feeling many Americans would disagree. Unless you’re a student at Ann Arbor Public Schools in Michigan or visiting a doctor’s office, masks are no longer part of most Americans' daily lives. So why is the administration fighting for them?

It’s all about power.

End the emergency, already

The courts have already shot down other Biden emergency-related mandates, including COVID-19 vaccine requirements at private businesses and extended eviction bans. The fate of these latest measures isn’t looking good either.

Next month, Biden will again consider whether to extend the COVID national emergency declaration that has existed since early 2020. Congress has signaled it’s ready for it to end. In November, the Senate – including 12 Democrats – passed a resolution calling for a termination of the emergency. Now that Republicans hold the House, expect that chamber to join in.

Yes.

Contrast with DeSantis:

Yesterday the Epoch Times ran an encouraging story reporting that DeSantis Administration officials say the Governor is working to allow the hospital covid liability shield to expire on June 23rd.

Link: EXCLUSIVE: Florida’s DeSantis Hopes to Let Hospital Immunity Related to COVID Die, Insider Says.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/...er-says_4995653.html

The ‘leak’ signals to Florida legislators that DeSantis would not sign a bill extending the much-hated law. Hopefully they take the hint. If necessary, we’ll help them remember.

I predict that, if the liability shield expires, hospital covid patients will suddenly and unexpectedly start having much better outcomes. Florida hospitals might discover they don’t need ventilators as much unless they keep putting people into medically-induced comas, and those might become a lot less necessary. Just saying.

Utah plastic surgeon sold COVID-19 vax cards but threw away the vaccine, feds say

“MIDVALE — A Utah plastic surgeon and his associates are facing federal charges accusing them of throwing away COVID-19 vaccinations but still handing out COVID-19 vaccination cards to those who paid……
Each person seeking a vaccination card then made a $50 "donation," which prosecutors say "were made to a 'charitable organization'……
Prosecutors say 1,937 doses of the COVID-19 vaccination, worth a little more than $28,000, were supposed to be given to patients between Oct. 15, 2021, and Sept. 6, 2022, "when, in fact, they had received none."

He's in deep doo-doo I would suspect.

He's probably in deep doo-doo...
but I wonder how many doses were thrown out by similar actions, kept quiet and without any "donations" or paper trail?

In other words, the actual vaccination rate is probably lower than the 68% or so that the government claims.

Dumb question: what does the statement regarding ACE2 mean? If someone is taking ACE inhibitors (for blood pressure?), is the finding above good, bad, irrelevant?

Irrelevant. Keep taking your BP meds.

The one thing I am sure of in all this is that it seems to be happening every day now.

AT this point, based upon the research and papers readily available, We really cannot have any doubt that the mRNA vaccines elicit antibodies with cross-reactivity to antigens on myocytes (cardiac cells).

There is emerging evidence that these vaccines also elicit a subclass of antibodies that are ineffective at neutralizing the virus, but instead act as blocking agents preventing the subclasses of effective antibodies from attaching to and neutralizing virus.

This is what you get when you rush a new "drug" to market. The annals of the FDA are replete with similar examples.

Sad, but true. This vaccine may eventually be responsible for more deaths than the damn virus.

Very large Cleveland Clinic study shows more vaccines make you more likely to get COVID

Steve Kirsch

Top study shows people with more jabs were more likely to get COVID than people with fewer jabs.

They lied, people died.

Introduction

Here’s Figure 2 from the Cleveland Clinic study (posted December 19, 2022) which looked at 51,011 working-age people who work at the Cleveland Clinic who have various vaccination status.

People with more jabs were more likely to get COVID than people with fewer jabs.

They started the clock for everyone at the same time: on the day the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine first became available to employees.

As you can see, people with more shots were more likely to get COVID and the differences were statistically significant.



https://stevekirsch.substack.c...eveland-clinic-study

Dumb question: I know this is just a sample but the numbers should correlate to the population, right? At this point, we would have expected almost everybody, especially in metro areas, to have been exposed to the virus.

Is this data then showing, assuming 100% coverage, how many people actually get sick based on jab count? Or how do I interpret this data - what does the line for 0 doses mean at the country level?

Is this saying, zero jab people, in the same location (same exposure and risk) as other people with jabs, 2 out of 100 of these people will actually get sick? Whereas in the same location, 6 out of 100 people with 3 jabs will get sick?

This data is specific to the 51,011 working-age people who work at the Cleveland Clinic who have various known vaccination status.
Interpret and extrapolate as you want, but you don't have the data. In the over-all population you just don't know who has taken the shot, how many shots, and how many have nevertheless come down with Covid.

The following is kind of related in showing that even in hospitals they really don't know who is jabbed and who is not:

A nurse speaks out
She started off emailing about the deliberate undercounting of vaccinated Covid patients, but she wound up saying much more
Alex Berenson

Hi Alex -

As a nurse for over 20 years I can tell you it is DELIBERATE that hospitals DO NOT ASK about covid vaccination status. Epic (the most common hospital charting system) does not register shots given at pop up vaccination clinics, roving vans or pharmacies or from many other health organizations (as you noted).

MANY of my patients show covid vax status as 'unknown', but when I ask them many have already have 4 shots (the people in my state are ridiculously compliant). We have an extensive covid checklist that we ask all patients, even outpatients, before they enter the hospital - so whether it's a quick EKG or a huge surgery that's going to require a 4 day stay you get asked the 'covid questions'

https://alexberenson.substack....rue&utm_medium=email

Empirical evidence. Based on observable data. I know more people that have been “vaccinated” that have either gotten Covid multiple times, gotten quite ill from it, or both than unvaccinated people- myself included. At this point, I don’t see how anyone can place any faith in them. You can’t turn around without seeing a news story about so-and-so getting Covid after getting all the shots. They are not vaccines.

Just coincidence. Safe and effective.

No they do not fit into the historical definition of a vaccine that is why they recently changed the definition of a vaccine. So they can keep using the word. This is also why some of us describe what was given to people as a jab, shot, experimental drug.

Russel Brand nails it this time...LOL

Elon Musk’s ‘Young & Peak Health’ Cousin Hospitalized with ‘Serious Myocarditis’ after ‘Booster’

https://slaynews.com/news/elon...myocarditis-booster/

Twitter boss Elon Musk has revealed that his cousin, who he describes as “young & in peak health,” has been hospitalized with a “serious case of myocarditis” after receiving a “booster shot.”

Musk broke the news in a series of posts late on Friday evening.

He was commenting on new data that shows large numbers of Americans say they have suffered side effects after receiving Covid jabs.

The data was shared on Twitter by author Scott Adams on Friday.

Musk responded to the post by revealing that he suffered “major side effects” after receiving his “second booster shot.”

“I had major side effects from my second booster shot,” Musk tweeted.

“Felt like I was dying for several days.

“Hopefully, no permanent damage, but I dunno.”

“And my cousin, who is young & in peak health, had a serious case of myocarditis,” Musk said.

“Had to go to the hospital.”

How the 'vaccine lies' will play out

The internet is exploding with talk of sudden deaths, vaccine injuries, and altered immune systems — and it's coming from all corners of the world.

The National Herald India ran a story in December titled "Covid-19: What explains the sudden deaths?" In Australia, an alternative news service declared, "Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) is taking the world by storm" while openly blaming the COVID vaccine.

Over at Channel News Asia, their report, "Sudden deaths: Why do seemingly fit and healthy people die for no apparent reason?," blames most of the deaths on undiagnosed, underlying heart problems — and never mentions the vaccine.

While speculation runs rampant, and social media are creating hashtags like #suddenlydied, one man seems to have a plan to counteract the craziness: let the people know how it's going to play out before it happens.

Media personality and conservative journalist J.D. Rucker runs the news aggregator site The Liberty Daily as well as other websites like his new project, Discern Report.

Earlier this week, he began his Substack report by imploring people to speak the truth about the vaccines as soon as possible: "We're seeing the truth starting to penetrate the shields of those who have ignored the signs for two years. Now, it's imperative that we drive the message home before it's too late."

Rucker continued:

The rise of adverse reaction concern is a good and bad thing. It's good for obvious reasons. It's bad because the powers-that-be are doubling down on their push to keep the universal vaccination agenda going for as long as possible.

He went on to tell his readers and podcast listeners that the "powers" behind the vaccine push knew they would eventually be caught; they never believed they could get away with it. The goal, he says, was always to get as many people "jabbed" as many times as possible before the populace realized there was a problem.

Here is how he believes it's going to go down:

The efficacy and the safety of the vaccines will be proven wrong. But with so many people involved in this, everyone will be pointing fingers at anyone but themselves. Eventually, they'll all point their fingers at Donald Trump and blame Operation Warp Speed. This is the point where his most fervent fans will chastise me for blaming him, but I'm not. The powers that be will blame him. Pfizer will blame him. China will blame him. The CDC will blame him. Anthony Fauci will blame him. They'll all say that they wanted to do longer testing but he demanded the jabs be available before the 2020 election. So they rushed it and made mistakes.

So what's the plan? Tell everyone this is going to happen before it happens. That way, he reasons, "[w]e will be able to argue more credibly against the powers that be who are playing dumb."

There are so many people involved in the vaccination agenda, directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowingly, that it will be nearly impossible to blame them individually. "They can be shamed, but they won't be blamed." To alleviate this, Rucker predicts, everyone will start pointing fingers at others, and eventually at former President Trump.

Rucker maintains that Trump should have come out against the vaccines as far back as 2021. In his podcast, however, he assures people he's not blaming Trump:

I think he was manipulated by people like Mike Pence who was working with Anthony Fauci. He was manipulated by his various chiefs of staff ... by everybody from a medical perspective in my humble opinion ... other than people like Dr. Scott Atlas [and] Peter Navarro[.] ... It doesn't matter. The point is they are going to blame him.

The fact is, many of President Trump's supporters are concerned about vaccine injuries and increasing reports of sudden deaths. He's listened to them before; he needs to listen to them again. It's not too late for him to lead the people in their quest for answers.

Regardless, Rucker says it's time for the people to take advantage of "this very small window of opportunity" to make everyone fully aware of what's going on before they drag us to the next step:

[They will tell us,] "Thanks to our coordination with the Chinese Communist Party ... the World Health Organization ... The Council for Inclusive Capitalism ... the World Economic Forum and Sweden and Australia and everybody else; we're all going to come together with this Pandemic Treaty — and we've got the solution."

"And the solution will be another round of jabs," he concluded.

Ultimately, Rucker says, they can't be allowed to perpetuate their lies. The truth must come out now in order to stave off whatever they have planned for us next.
