Not only is the new RSV vaccine not safe and effective, early results suggest it makes the disease worse
Bear in mind, they are experimenting on the youngest of the young: babies from 5 months to 2 years of age, and we are dealing with a disease that 90% of babies will catch in their first two years. Some of these babies will get a severe life threatening disease, but as I reported last month, the ones who are deficient in vitamin D are 5 to 10 times more likely to end up in intensive care. We can already do a lot to protect these babies, more cheaply and with far less risk than testing immature and complex therapies.
Maryanne Demasi reports that things are looking bad for the new RSV vaccine:
Moderna’s mRNA vaccine against RSV takes a tumble
The latest trial data demonstrates the dangerous speed of innovation.
This week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) disclosed that vaccinated children in the trial experienced higher rates of severe RSV compared to those in the placebo group.
The data was striking: 12.5% of vaccinated children developed severe or very severe RSV disease, compared to just 5% in the placebo group.
Moreover, among those who developed symptomatic RSV, 26.3% of vaccinated participants progressed to severe illness, sharply contrasting with the 8.3% in the placebo group.
The trials were stopped in July after five babies aged 5 to 8 months developed severe cases of RSV. The FDA has since put the experiment on hold.
With uncanny timing, Moderna’s massive new vaccine factory opened in Victoria two weeks ago. It will “have the capacity to produce up to 100 million vaccine doses each year for respiratory diseases including influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and COVID-19.” As Demasi points out the Australian Federal government signed a $2 billion agreement, committing to the purchase of Moderna’s locally produced vaccines for at least a decade. (Damn.)
History rhymes — in the long, unfortunate quest for vaccine development for RSV
A classic antibody diagram
Back in 1966, researchers tried killing the virus and then injecting it into twenty-five children. The results were disastrous — about 80% of the children caught RSV regardless of the vaccination, and worse, 80% who caught the illness went on to have a severe form of the disease. Sadly, two children died. People were still publishing papers on why that happened forty years later.
Years later researchers figured out that the formalin used to kill the virus chemically changed the shape of the key markers, meaning that the children developed immunity to the dead form of the virus which was different from the live form. We trained their bodies to make antibodies that were not at all effective. This was not just a major drain on resources (all those expensive proteins get used to make the wrong weapons), but worse, these antibodies helped the virus gain entry to cells. It was the first instance of vaccine induced antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).
The message here is that there are far better cheaper ways of dealing with infections than with rapid vaccine development. Vaccines can be very useful, but their are a hundred ways they can go wrong, and changes to our immune system are potentially permanent or at least long term. If we weren’t embedded in a deep dark cav, dripping with patent and profit incentives we would spend a few dollars fixing natural deficiencies, get a little bit of sunlight, and then seek antivirals that we’ve safety tested on millions of people for thirty years.
The FDA will meet urgently to discuss the situation.

PS: In great news today Dr William Bay won his case today in the Supreme Court against the Australian medical police who suspended him two years ago for speaking out against vaccination — at one point he yelled at a conference “”stop forcing these vaccines on the people of Australia who are getting killed by them”.”
The regulators argued they had to stop him damaging confidence in vaccines etc, but Justice Bradley said “None of these measures extended the board’s regulatory role to include protection of government and regulatory agencies from political criticism.”
We hope this is truly a free speech win, rather than a technical victory over some fine print. Doctor Mark Hobart (who has also been suspended) seems to think it is — “The house of cards is now falling down. Doctors can now tell the truth. This will be unstoppable. This will spread throughout the world and create a revolution. A revolution of truth.”
Me, I want a free market. I want to be able to visit any doctor I want. I want their honest opinion, not their “permitted one”.

“Safe and Effective”. NOT.

And to cap this off nicely – Moderna’s mRNA “vaccines” may be exempt from advisory committee scrutiny under Morrison’s $2bn deal with Moderna to manufacture in Australia.
My local member was never asked, apparently the Senate can stop it. Please all follow up by contacting your senators here in Australia.

Dis the Babies and Children sign a Consent Form? Were the Parents paid money?

Somewhere in Florey’s biography was the comment ” if one patient in the trials had an adverse reaction to penicillin the development of antibiotics would have been delayed for decades”
Different times and approach, one being for the good of mankind, the other appears to be for the good of the bottom line on the balance sheet.

I think that “trail” is quite appropriate here, even if it’s not what Jo meant.

Jo, it’s a trial , not a “ trail”.

But follow the money trail.

Pedantic Proofreaders’ Lives Matter too!
I see the graphic designers have been ‘working hard’ producing ever-new psychedelic scary looking voyeureses to scare Pete & Penni Population.
Mode RNA – like the rest, avoid at all costs, even if you’re paying $$$ billions for it (ouch!).

It is a 5 minute drive from my workplace to the recently opened Moderna plant. I drove past it last week, it seemingly sprung up in no time. Ironically, given the many post-jab reports of pericarditis and myocarditis, the plant is positioned across the road from the Victorian Heart Hospital

“The plant is positioned across the road from the Victorian Heart Hospital.”
Handy placement, they’ll likely need it.
A bit like the time at work when I made the suggestion they could move the sick bay closer to the canteen in the interests of efficiency.

Bad luck that the old Hippocratic Oath seems not to over rule the bureaucrats that know everything about “experimental safe and effective vaccines.” (Sarc)

They have sneakily changed ‘Hippocratic’ to ‘Hypocritic’. Works perfectly then…..

Medicos started all this “concensus” rubbish in the science we see today.
And probably because their professional insurance companies pressured them … always follow the money.
Cowards who only speak up when the tide finally turns.
“Honesty”? My local doctor stopped dispensing covid vax after the second round. I got the message.

The likes of Moderna and Pfizer exploit us as a free and expendable supply of human lab rats. It amounts to quality control on the fly.

What type of parent puts their kids forward for these trials?

Woke ones.

Just what I thought IWick. Fancy allowing a drug company to vaccinate a 5 month old baby with an unknown material. Quite abominable.

With RFK Jr as US Health Secretary nominee, he will stop this unethical experimentation on humans (as opposed to legitimate human trials).
This means Big Pharma will be looking for new targets in Stupid Countries like Australia.
You can bet that the present Australian Government or a possible future fake conservative Liberal Government will make the experimental products from that factory compulsory for human experimentation and general administration, just like they did with the covid “vaccines”.
Of course, to maintain public confidence in the health system this will require further silencing of critics and thus draconian censorship legislation. They already tried this but it failed – but only just. They will try and reintroduce it. And don’t forget, the fake conservative Liberal appointed e Safety Kommisar can still issue “take down” orders for unapproved opinions.

Rip Van Winkle only slept for 20 years but Rip Van Wankle Big Chem look like doubling that before they tumble to reality

What sort of irresponsible behaviour leads to a ten year $2 billion contract with a fundamentally defective experimental product?
And why was a contract needed at all?
If they have a product to sell, they will easily be able to sell it to stupid Australian politicians in any case.

I read about Dr. Bay’s win this morning. Marvellous. Although I think that the medical profession was so cowered during Covid, that freedom of opinion may not have totally changed their responses.
Dr. Melanie Phillips and vaccine injured are also currently suing the TGA and other authorities. At the moment the authorities are claiming that they dont have “Duty of Care”. Amazing!

Thanks Joanne, great article and important information

The ultra “ out there” conspiracy theory is that the new Moderna plant was funded by the US DOD. That it’s masquerading as a common respiratory vaccine plant, but it’s really a strategically located vaccine plant for possible future biological warfare reactions. The fact that everything about is clouded in secrecy is a big tell. Might be best not to talk about it again- why do I have that black van parked across the street with government plates anyway?
