<br />
The EU Commission admitted that COVID-19 vaccines were released without complete safety data. This raises concerns about accountability and risks for the public. Austrian EU MP Gerald Hauser questioned why citizens were not informed about the uncertainties in the vaccines' effectiveness and safety.<br />
<br />
The vaccines received conditional approval, which allows access in emergencies despite incomplete data. Hauser criticized this, stating that it turned vaccinated individuals into "test subjects." Meanwhile, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is restructuring health authorities and has withdrawn COVID vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women, emphasizing the need for stricter approval criteria.<br />
<br />
New evidence suggesting 25 deaths among vaccinated children could further fuel the debate on vaccine safety.<br />

An explosive new study conducted within the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) own laboratory has revealed excessively high levels of DNA contamination in Pfizer’s mRNA Covid-19 vaccine.<br />
<br />
Tests conducted at the FDA’s White Oak Campus in Maryland found that <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">residual DNA levels exceeded regulatory safety limits by 6 to 470 times</span>.<br />

<br />
"We are incredibly proud of the role Vaxzevria played in ending the global pandemic. According to independent estimates, over 6.5 million lives were saved in the first year of use alone and over three billion doses were supplied globally," the company said in a statement.

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The European Medicines Agency has begun the process to formally withdraw the vaccine</span>, reflecting an expected move away from monovalent vaccines, which target only the original COVID-19 strain.

<br />
Kate Scott, whose husband suffered a permanent brain injury after receiving the vaccine, expressed mixed feelings: "AstraZeneca’s Covid vaccine no longer being used in the UK or Europe, and soon the rest of the world, means no one else will suffer from this awful adverse reaction," she said.

(Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Screenshot via The Epoch Times)</div>
<br />
<br />
ZH | FEB 18, 2024 <br />
Authored by <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/us-officials-concede-no-active-surveillance-on-long-term-effects-of-covid-19-vaccines-5588199?utm_source=partner&amp;utm_campaign=ZeroHedge&amp;src_src=partner&amp;src_cmp=ZeroHedge" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Megan Redshaw via The Epoch Times</a> [slightly adapted] (emphasis ours)<br />
<br />
In a Feb. 15 hearing by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">U.S. health officials side-stepped a question when asked whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is actively conducting extended safety surveillance on those who received early COVID-19 vaccines</span>.<br />
<br />
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) asked Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, whether the FDA is conducting active surveillance and if there are any specific health markers they’re studying that may signal trends requiring further inquiry.<br />
<br />
“Every time we go through and do the safety surveillance, we start back, and it goes back to 2020. In some cases where we’re looking for certain things, we might use a different window, but indeed, we have to look from the beginning of the period of surveillance. I can turn it over to Dr. Jernigan because he can speak for CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] in that regard,” Dr. Marks said.<br />
<br />
“So with regard to myocarditis, we certainly have been monitoring the issue with various different data systems. I think the most recent data really demonstrates that you’re about eight times less likely to get myocarditis if you’re vaccinated compared to those that are unvaccinated,” Dr. Daniel Jernigan, director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases at the CDC responded.<br />
<br />
Rep. Malliotakis told Jernigan she wanted to know about “everything,” not just myocarditis.<br />
<br />
Dr. Jerrigan asked her to repeat the question, and she asked again whether the FDA was conducting extended safety surveillance on early recipients of COVID-19 vaccines.<br />
<br />
“<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Most of the reports that we get of adverse events are in the few weeks following the vaccination</span>,” Jernigan said. In terms of monitoring these over time, Jernigan said the agency has “vaccine effectiveness” systems in place at the CDC.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Neither Jernigan nor Marks referenced any active surveillance initiatives being undertaken by their agencies to monitor people who received the original COVID-19 vaccines for long-term health effects.</span><br />
<br />
“There is no system in place for long-term vaccine safety surveillance in this country,” Ms. Liz Willner, founder of <a href="https://openvaers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">OpenVAERS</a>, told <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The Epoch Times</span>.<br />
<br />
“The FDA and CDC do not actively search for safety signals.

Authored by <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/us-officials-concede-no-active-surveillance-on-long-term-effects-of-covid-19-vaccines-5588199?utm_source=partner&amp;utm_campaign=ZeroHedge&amp;src_src=partner&amp;src_cmp=ZeroHedge" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Megan Redshaw via The Epoch Times</a> [slightly adapted] (emphasis ours)<br />
<br />
In a Feb. 15 hearing by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">U.S. health officials side-stepped a question when asked whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is actively conducting extended safety surveillance on those who received early COVID-19 vaccines</span>.<br />
<br />
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) asked Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, whether the FDA is conducting active surveillance and if there are any specific health markers they’re studying that may signal trends requiring further inquiry.<br />
<br />
“Every time we go through and do the safety surveillance, we start back, and it goes back to 2020. In some cases where we’re looking for certain things, we might use a different window, but indeed, we have to look from the beginning of the period of surveillance. I can turn it over to Dr. Jernigan because he can speak for CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] in that regard,” Dr. Marks said.<br />
<br />
“So with regard to myocarditis, we certainly have been monitoring the issue with various different data systems. I think the most recent data really demonstrates that you’re about eight times less likely to get myocarditis if you’re vaccinated compared to those that are unvaccinated,” Dr. Daniel Jernigan, director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases at the CDC responded.<br />
<br />
Rep. Malliotakis told Jernigan she wanted to know about “everything,” not just myocarditis.<br />
<br />
Dr. Jerrigan asked her to repeat the question, and she asked again whether the FDA was conducting extended safety surveillance on early recipients of COVID-19 vaccines.<br />
<br />
“<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Most of the reports that we get of adverse events are in the few weeks following the vaccination</span>,” Jernigan said. In terms of monitoring these over time, Jernigan said the agency has “vaccine effectiveness” systems in place at the CDC.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Neither Jernigan nor Marks referenced any active surveillance initiatives being undertaken by their agencies to monitor people who received the original COVID-19 vaccines for long-term health effects.</span><br />
<br />
“There is no system in place for long-term vaccine safety surveillance in this country,” Ms. Liz Willner, founder of <a href="https://openvaers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">OpenVAERS</a>, told <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The Epoch Times</span>.<br />
<br />
“The FDA and CDC do not actively search for safety signals. They did not find the myocarditis or the thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome that led to the withdrawal of the J&amp;J COVID vaccine—those signals were discovered by the European Medicines Agency. The Vaccine Safety Datalink has never corroborated any vaccine safety signals, including myocarditis, <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">because you cannot find what you are not looking for</span>,” she added.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The technology used in Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine carries toxicity risks</span>, scientists with the company said in a new paper.<br />
<br />
“A major challenge now is how to efficiently de-risk potential toxicities associated with mRNA technology,” the scientists wrote in the paper, which was published by <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41573-023-00859-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Nature Reviews Drug Discovery</a> on Jan. 23.<br />
<br />
The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 shots use modified messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology. The mRNA is delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNP).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The toxicity risks include “lipid nanoparticle structural components, production methods, route of administration and proteins produced from complexed mRNAs,”</span> the authors of the paper said.<br />
<br />
Authors of the paper include Eric Jacquinet and Dimitrios Bitounis, Moderna employees, and Maximillian Rogers, who was working at Moderna when the paper was being done.<br />
<br />
Moderna didn’t respond to a request for comment.<br />
<br />
The mRNA vaccines have multiple known side effects, including heart inflammation and severe allergic shock. Those may stem from hypersensitivity reactions, which can be elicited by “any LNP-mRNA component” but are most likely triggered by PEGlyated lipid nanoparticles, which is “the most potentially reactogenic component,” the scientists said.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Polyethylene glycol, or PEG, an ingredient in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, is known to cause allergic reactions</span>. Outside scientists are divided over the mechanism behind the heart inflammation, while Pfizer has <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/pfizer-identified-most-likely-mechanism-for-heart-inflammation-after-covid-19-vaccination-5139370" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">posited</a> that the LNPs are behind the issue.<br />
<br />
The new paper drew from prior publications and other data. The authors didn’t carry out any new experiments.<br />
<br />
Some of the papers cited included those that have found mRNA and the spike protein delivered by Moderna’s shot in various parts of human beings <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/covid-19-vaccine-found-in-dead-people-study-5500468" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">weeks</a> or <a href="https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)00076-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">months</a> after vaccination, despite health officials claiming when the vaccines were rolled out that such materials would exit the body within days.<br />
<br />
The scientists said that Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine is “safe and effective” and hailed the development of an updated shot as “demonstrat[ing] the rapid timeline for modifications with mRNA technology in the clinic.” Due to the “transient nature of mRNA,” though, “repeat administration may be necessary,” they said.<br />
<br />
The scientists added later that <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">reducing risks of toxicities with mRNA-based vaccines and drugs is necessary but “complicated.”</span> That can be accomplished through a multi-pronged approach that includes advanced testing in laboratories and adjusts preclinical, animal trials to better account for “differences in human and animal physiology.”<br />
<br />
Moderna and other companies are currently testing a number of new mRNA products, including influenza vaccines and cancer treatments.<br />
<br />
“Thanks to the mRNA platform we built, we have an exciting pipeline, with up to 15 launches in the next five years,” Stephane Bancel, Moderna’s CEO, told investors in the company’s most recent earnings call.<br />
<br />
The paper’s corresponding author, Mansoor Amiji of Northeastern University’s Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chemical Engineering, referred a request for comment to Mr. Bitounis, who didn’t provide any answers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u">Dr. Malone Reacts</span></span><br />
<br />
Dr. Robert Malone, who helped invent the mRNA technology, said the paper downplayed the range of risks that have been linked to the mRNA-based vaccines and may be part of a limited hangout, or a propaganda technique.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">That technique, a form of misdirection, involves people offering some information to obscure or prevent the discovery of other information.</span><br />
<br />
“My most generous interpretation of the overall intent of the article is that this article summarizes and represents information concerning risks and toxicities of this platform technology which Moderna wishes to have disclosed in a manner which puts the firm, its activities and the underlying platform technology in the best possible light,” Dr. Malone, who wasn’t involved with the paper, wrote in his review.<br />
<br />
“A less generous interpretation of intent is that this article represents a subtle form of propaganda strategy commonly referred to as a limited hangout.”]]></description>

A prominent microbiologist argued that the amount of DNA in the COVID shots was as much as 18 to 70 times higher than the limits set by some regulatory agencies.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Jan 4, 2024 <br />
OTTAWA (<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/health-canada-admits-plasmid-dna-is-in-covid-shots-but-claims-levels-are-within-allowable-limit/?utm_source=most_recent&amp;utm_campaign=usa" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">LifeSiteNews</a>) – Officials from Health Canada have admitted that there is “residual plasmid DNA” in the COVID shots after a Conservative MP asked the agency through an official information request if the DNA fragments were in the shots.<br />
<br />
As per a recent <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Epoch Times</span> <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/health-canada-responds-to-mps-questions-on-sv40-dna-sequence-in-pfizer-vaccine-5550551" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">report</a>, a December 17 Inquiry of Ministry response from Health Canada to Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Colin Carrie, who wanted to know more about what was in the shots, says that the agency claims the shots are safe despite the presence of plasmid DNA fragments.<br />
<br />
Health Canada claims that the amounts are within the limits set by the World Health Organization after Carrie had asked about the “amount of acceptable residual DNA per vaccine dose and the method used to measure it.”<br />
<br />
Health Canada responded to Carrie’s question by admitting that it is aware of the presence of “residual plasmid DNA” in the COVID shots but claimed this number is below a limit of 10 nanograms per human dose.<br />
<br />
Kevin McKernan, a microbiologist and former researcher and team leader for the MIT Human Genome project, and Dr. Phillip J. Buckhaults, a professor of cancer genomics and director of the Cancer Genetics Lab at the University of South Carolina, earlier <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/exclusive-health-canada-not-concerned-about-scientists-finding-of-plasmid-dna-contamination-in-covid-shots-5449394" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">revealed</a> that there is plasmid DNA in the COVID shots. Plasmid DNA is used in the manufacturing of mRNA jabs.<br />
<br />
McKernan and Buckhaults had also raised in a public manner how cancer-linked Polyomavirus Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA was found in the Pfizer COVID shot.<br />
<br />
According to McKernan, the amount of DNA in the COVID shots was as much as 18 to 70 times higher than the limits that were set by some regulatory agencies.<br />
<br />
Carrie also asked Health Canada to let Canadians know about the “adulteration of these products” through the presence of the SV40 DNA to make sure there was “fully informed consent” before taking the jab.<br />
<br />
The agency responded by claiming that “In the manufacture of any vaccine, it is expected that there may be variabilities or residual elements that are part of the standard manufacturing process.”<br />
<br />
Regarding the presence of SV40 in the Pfizer COVID shot, LifeSiteNews recently reported how the agency admitted it was present but claimed the DNA in the shot is “inactive” with “no functional role” and that the jabs are not a form of gene therapy.<br />
<br />
However, a study published in December by the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences found while looking at the genomes in the blood cells of humans injected with the mRNA COVID jab that DNA had been altered with the genetic code of the shots.<br />
<br />
SV40 in vaccines has been linked to the spread of turbo cancers in those who have been exposed to the virus via contaminated injections. According to a 2002 study published in the Lancet, there is evidence that links the older polio vaccines, which were filed with SV40 contaminants, to certain forms of cancer.<br />
<br />
Polio vaccines from the late 1950s to the early 1960s were contaminated with SV40 after it was discovered that the virus was present in the monkey kidney cells, which vaccine makers used to grow the shots.<br />
<br />
The authors of the 2002 study claim that the SV40-contaminated polio vaccine may have caused up to half of the 55,000 cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosed each year.<br />
<br />
SV40, or the simian (monkey) virus as it is known, according to Dr. Maurice Hilleman, who is a late vaccine developer, was put in the polio vaccine and then into wide circulation by Merck inadvertently.<br />
<br />
It has never been clear, Mercola noted, whether SV40 has been completely removed from polio vaccines since, however, it is known that contaminated jabs were in circulation in Italy as late as 1999.<br />
<br />
Despite the health risks associated with the COVID shots, governments across Canada all enacted strict rules, including workplace jab mandates.<br />
<br />
As a result, many Canadians who chose not to get the shots lost their job. However, many of them are fighting back.<br />
<br />
Late last year, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">LifeSiteNews</span> <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/health-canada-claims-cancer-linked-dna-sequence-found-in-pfizer-covid-jab-is-inactive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">reported</a> that over 700 vaccine-free Canadians negatively affected by federal COVID jab dictates have banded together to file a multimillion-dollar class-action lawsuit against the federal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.]]></description>

<br />
As per a recent <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Epoch Times</span> <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/health-canada-responds-to-mps-questions-on-sv40-dna-sequence-in-pfizer-vaccine-5550551" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">report</a>, a December 17 Inquiry of Ministry response from Health Canada to Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Colin Carrie, who wanted to know more about what was in the shots, says that the agency claims the shots are safe despite the presence of plasmid DNA fragments.<br />
<br />
Health Canada claims that the amounts are within the limits set by the World Health Organization after Carrie had asked about the “amount of acceptable residual DNA per vaccine dose and the method used to measure it.”<br />
<br />
Health Canada responded to Carrie’s question by admitting that it is aware of the presence of “residual plasmid DNA” in the COVID shots but claimed this number is below a limit of 10 nanograms per human dose.<br />
<br />
Kevin McKernan, a microbiologist and former researcher and team leader for the MIT Human Genome project, and Dr. Phillip J. Buckhaults, a professor of cancer genomics and director of the Cancer Genetics Lab at the University of South Carolina, earlier <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/exclusive-health-canada-not-concerned-about-scientists-finding-of-plasmid-dna-contamination-in-covid-shots-5449394" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">revealed</a> that there is plasmid DNA in the COVID shots. Plasmid DNA is used in the manufacturing of mRNA jabs.<br />
<br />
McKernan and Buckhaults had also raised in a public manner how cancer-linked Polyomavirus Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA was found in the Pfizer COVID shot.<br />
<br />
According to McKernan, the amount of DNA in the COVID shots was as much as 18 to 70 times higher than the limits that were set by some regulatory agencies.<br />
<br />
Carrie also asked Health Canada to let Canadians know about the “adulteration of these products” through the presence of the SV40 DNA to make sure there was “fully informed consent” before taking the jab.<br />
<br />
The agency responded by claiming that “In the manufacture of any vaccine, it is expected that there may be variabilities or residual elements that are part of the standard manufacturing process.”<br />
<br />
Regarding the presence of SV40 in the Pfizer COVID shot, LifeSiteNews recently reported how the agency admitted it was present but claimed the DNA in the shot is “inactive” with “no functional role” and that the jabs are not a form of gene therapy.<br />
<br />
However, a study published in December by the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences found while looking at the genomes in the blood cells of humans injected with the mRNA COVID jab that DNA had been altered with the genetic code of the shots.<br />
<br />
SV40 in vaccines has been linked to the spread of turbo cancers in those who have been exposed to the virus via contaminated injections. According to a 2002 study published in the Lancet, there is evidence that links the older polio vaccines, which were filed with SV40 contaminants, to certain forms of cancer.<br />
<br />
Polio vaccines from the late 1950s to the early 1960s were contaminated with SV40 after it was discovered that the virus was present in the monkey kidney cells, which vaccine makers used to grow the shots.<br />
<br />
The authors of the 2002 study claim that the SV40-contaminated polio vaccine may have caused up to half of the 55,000 cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosed each year.<br />
<br />
SV40, or the simian (monkey) virus as it is known, according to Dr. Maurice Hilleman, who is a late vaccine developer, was put in the polio vaccine and then into wide circulation by Merck inadvertently.<br />
<br />
It has never been clear, Mercola noted, whether SV40 has been completely removed from polio vaccines since, however, it is known that contaminated jabs were in circulation in Italy as late as 1999.<br />
<br />
Despite the health risks associated with the COVID shots, governments across Canada all enacted strict rules, including workplace jab mandates.<br />
<br />
As a result, many Canadians who chose not to get the shots lost their job. However, many of them are fighting back.<br />
<br />
Late last year, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">LifeSiteNews</span> <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/health-canada-claims-cancer-linked-dna-sequence-found-in-pfizer-covid-jab-is-inactive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">reported</a> that over 700 vaccine-free Canadians negatively affected by federal COVID jab dictates have banded together to file a multimillion-dollar class-action lawsuit against the federal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.]]></content:encoded>

This article was originally published by <a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/chair-care-new-mexico-hairstylists-cdc-covid-flu-vaccines/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">The Defender</a> — Children’s Health Defense’s News &amp; Views Website.<br />

(<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/chair-care-new-mexico-hairstylists-being-trained-under-cdc-funded-program-to-push-covid-flu-shots/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Children’s Health Defense</a> - adapted [not all original hyperlinks included below]) — Public health agencies are funding a New Mexico program to train and pay local hairstylists working in privately owned salons to promote COVID-19 and flu vaccines to their clients.<br />
<br />
The “<a href="https://www.bettertogethernm.com/chair-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Chair Care</a>” program trains these “trusted messengers” to target New Mexico’s Hispanic, Black, Native American and conservative populations who have been shown to have the lowest vaccine uptake and highest “vaccine hesitancy.”<br />
<br />
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New Mexico Department of Public Health (NMDOH) are funding the program, which is run by Presbyterian Community Health and Better Together New Mexico, an NMDOH initiative that connects local organizations to do vaccine outreach throughout the state.<br />
<br />
Other partners in the grant program include an unnamed doctor, a salon, a hairstylist and an Albuquerque company, Serna Solutions, which provides behavioral health training.<br />
<br />
The program is training hairstylists to spread the agencies’ vetted messaging on vaccines to the public. The “<a href="https://www.bettertogethernm.com/chair-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">trusted messenger</a>” strategy is based on the assumption that people tend to trust such figures more than they trust public health authorities, according to the project website, which states:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>Research tells us that who a message comes from is just as important – if not more – than what the content of the message is … Chair Care TMs [trusted messengers] play a critical role in sharing the facts about vaccination with their clients because their clients trust them.<br />
<br />
TMs can talk with their clients about vaccinations in a more relaxed, conversational way than traditional authority figures or healthcare providers sometimes can.</blockquote>
<br />
By training the “trusted messengers” to promote their messages, the public health authorities can get their message across to the public, without the public being aware the message is designed and paid for by those health authorities.<br />
<br />
Hairstylists who sign up for a six-month commitment participate in two day-long trainings where they receive tools so they can “feel more confident” talking to their clients about taking vaccines.<br />
<br />
They will be trained in motivational interviewing, COVID-19 basics, flu basics and long COVID basics.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #71101d;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">After the initial training, the hairstylists are required to participate in twice-monthly virtual meetings to receive updated content and program support. At the end of the six-month program, they participate in a half-day debrief.<br />
<br />
They also spend 30-45 minutes per week submitting data on their client interactions. The program website doesn’t indicate what types of data they are collecting.</span></span>[Emphasis - <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The Catacombs</span>]<br />
<br />
Participants receive a one-time participant stipend, but the amount is also not specified on the website.<br />
<br />
Better Together offers grants of up to &#36;300,000 for proposals like Chair Care designed to circulate “vetted vaccine information” or increase access to vaccines for New Mexicans. All projects must include a focus on COVID-19 vaccination.<br />
<br />
Better Together did not respond to The Defender’s request for more information about the program at the time of publication.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">‘Trusted messengers,’ brought to you by corporate elite and the CDC</span><br />
<br />
Chair Care cites an <a href="https://www.adcouncil.org/learn-with-us/ad-council-research-institute" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Ad Council Research Institute</a> report, “<a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/adcouncil-acri-trustedmessenger-report-11-2022-final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">The 2022 Trusted Messenger Study</a>,” a follow-up on a similar report published in 2021, as the justification for the program.<br />
<br />
The Ad Council is a nonprofit research organization whose directorship is comprised of over 100 representatives from almost every major legacy and social media corporation, Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Tech, professional sports, banking and consulting.<br />
<br />
Its mission is to “convene the best storytellers to educate, unite and uplift – by opening hearts, inspiring action and accelerating change.”<br />
<br />
The Trusted Messenger Study concluded that Americans don’t trust political leaders and institutions. To “market” messages that will “shift perceptions” and “ignite new behaviors,” leaders have to find the messengers that people trust and get them to deliver the desired message.<br />
<br />
A key finding in the study was that local leaders – teachers, community leaders, nonprofits – are important references for people when they are gathering information to make decisions.<br />
<br />
Based on these and similar ideas, the CDC since 2021 has doled out hundreds of millions of dollars in grants for the creation of “culturally tailored” pro-vaccine materials and for training “trusted messengers” to promote COVID-19 and flu vaccines to communities of color in every state across the country.<br />
<br />
In March 2021, the Biden administration also earmarked &#36;3 billion for the CDC to support local initiatives to “strengthen vaccine confidence.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The method: motivational interviewing</span><br />
<br />
The Chair Care stylists will be trained to use motivational interviewing to influence their clients.<br />
<br />
Better Together defines the method, from the CDC’s website, as “an evidence-based and culturally sensitive approach to helping people manage mixed feelings and move toward healthy behavior change that is consistent with their values and needs.”<br />
<br />
According to <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapy-types/motivational-interviewing" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Psychology Today</a>, it is a counseling method used to help people decide to change their behavior, and it is particularly effective with people who are ambivalent, or even hostile. It can be effective in one or two sessions.<br />
<br />
Originally developed for people with substance abuse disorders, the method is now applied broadly in healthcare, psychotherapy, correctional and counseling settings, according to the <a href="https://dictionary.apa.org/motivational-interviewing" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">American Psychological Association</a>.<br />
<br />
The clinician – or in this case, the hairstylist – is meant to listen, show empathy and support for the idea that someone can change, and help people think about how they can do so.<br />
<br />
The goal is to guide the communication in order to direct people in a way that is “respectful and curious.”<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Mon Oct 23, 2023 <br />
OTTAWA (<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/health-canada-confirms-cancer-linked-simian-virus-40-dna-sequence-found-in-pfizer-covid-jab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">LifeSiteNews</a>) – The presence of Polyomavirus Simian Virus 40 (SV40), which is a monkey-linked DNA sequence known to cause cancer when it was used in old polio vaccines, has been confirmed by Health Canada to be present in the Pfizer COVID shot, a fact that was not disclosed by the vaccine maker to officials.<br />
<br />
As first reported by <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/exclusive-health-canada-confirms-undisclosed-presence-of-dna-sequence-in-pfizer-shot-5513277" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">The Epoch Times</a> last week, there is still ongoing debate among scientists regarding the findings, with some reporting SV40 poses a cancer risk and was hidden on purpose while others say it is nothing to worry about.<br />
<br />
<br />
As per an email that was sent to The Epoch Times, Health Canada said it “expects sponsors to identify any biologically functional DNA sequences within a plasmid (such as an SV40 enhancer) at the time of submission.”<br />
<br />
“Although the full DNA sequence of the Pfizer plasmid was provided at the time of initial filing, the sponsor did not specifically identify the SV40 sequence,” Health Canada added.<br />
<br />
Health Canada noted that Kevin McKernan, a microbiologist and former researcher and team leader for the MIT Human Genome project, and Dr. Phillip J. Buckhaults, who is a professor of cancer genomics as well as the director of the Cancer Genetics Lab at the University of South Carolina, had raised in a <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/exclusive-health-canada-not-concerned-about-scientists-finding-of-plasmid-dna-contamination-in-covid-shots-5449394" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">public manner</a> earlier this year how SV40 was present in the jabs.<br />
<br />
After this, Health Canada noted, it was “possible for Health Canada to confirm the presence of the enhancer based on the plasmid DNA sequence submitted by Pfizer against the published SV40 enhancer sequence.”<br />
<br />
SV40 is used to enhance gene transcription when the shots are made.<br />
<br />
According to McKernan, he noted in correspondence to The Epoch Times, that Pfizer did not let it be known of SV40 being in the COVID shots given its cancer link when it was used in polio vaccines decades ago.<br />
<br />
McKernan shared his concerns about SV40 but did say there is no straightforward evidence yet if it is a full-blown carcinogenic. He did warn the public that SV40 promoters are still a concern due to the risk of them “integrating into the human genomes near oncogenes, which are genes that have the potential to cause cancer,” as noted by The Epoch Times.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="https://twitter.com/P_J_Buckhaults/status/1708543984203939884" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Buckhaults</a>, “People have a right to have their concerns taken seriously and addressed by competent, caring scientists, even if their concerns end up being invalidated. We should look for monsters under the bed and report results honestly.”<br />
<br />
Health Canada spokesperson Mark Johnson, as noted by The Epoch Times, said the current data available regarding SV40 does not connect it to so-called “turbo cancers” linked with the COVID shot.<br />
<br />
Dr. Joseph Mercola in an opinion piece posted to LifeSiteNews in June mentioned a discussion about COVID jab contamination between Dr. Steven E. Greer and McKernan, along with Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi.<br />
<br />
According to McKernan’s team, SV40 DNA contamination was found in both the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA shots, with the findings posted on OSF Preprints in early April 2023.<br />
<br />
Greer noted, as observed by Mercola, that “governments and drug companies ‘have misled the world to a far greater extent than previously known.’ If these findings are correct, it would also mean that ‘the so-called ‘vaccines’ are actually altering the human genome and causing permanent production of the deadly spike protein,’ and this internal production of spike protein would, in turn, ‘trigger the immune system to attack its own cells.’”<br />
<br />
Mercola wrote that as for SV40 showing up in the COVID shots, “it appears to be related to poor quality control during the manufacturing process, although it’s unclear where in the development SV40 might have sneaked in.”<br />
<br />
“Quality control deficiencies may also be responsible for the high rate of anaphylactic reactions we’ve been seeing,” Mercola noted.<br />
<br />
Last month, Health Canada <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/health-canada-approves-modified-moderna-covid-shot-for-those-six-months-and-older/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">approved a revised Moderna mRNA-based COVID shot</a> despite research showing that 1 in 35 recipients of the booster have myocardial damage.<br />
<br />
There is mounting evidence concerning the adverse effects they cause in many who have taken the COVID shots, including kids.<br />
<br />
For example, a r<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/definite-causal-link-between-covid-vaccine-rollouts-and-peaks-in-all-cause-mortality-new-study-finds/?changed=530621200" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">ecent study</a> done by researchers with Canada-based <a href="https://correlation-canada.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Correlation Research in the Public Interest</a> showed that 17 countries have found a “definite causal link” between peaks in all-cause mortality and the fast rollouts of the COVID shots as well as boosters.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">SV40 was ‘hidden’ from regulators by vaccine makers, doctor says</span><br />
<br />
According to Dr. Janci Lindsay, who works as the director of toxicology and molecular biology for Toxicology Support Services, Pfizer did not disclose the presence of SV40 “promoters” to both Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, as well as the European Medicines Agency.<br />
<br />
She said, as reported in <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The Epoch Times</span>, the drug company “hid them.”<br />
<br />
“So it’s not just the fact that they’re there, it’s the fact that they were purposefully hidden from the regulators,” she noted.<br />
<br />
Lindsay explained that the full SV40 virus is not present in the COVID shots, but a <a href="https://twitter.com/c_plushie/status/1703960656561750340" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">nuclear localization</a> sequence is.<br />
<br />
She said that SV40 promoters were integrated into the “human genome — in a process known as insertional mutagenesis — that would then result in gene mutations that could cause cancers.”<br />
<br />
Lindsay also said SV40 will “sit down anywhere” as it is a strong promoter.<br />
<br />
As for Health Canada, it maintains that when it comes to the COVID shots, it has “concluded that the risk/benefit profile continues to support the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.”<br />
<br />
“Health Canada does not rely on the conclusions provided by vaccine manufacturers. Health Canada conducts an in-depth, independent review of the required evidence provided by the manufacturer to ensure that our high standards for safety, efficacy and quality are met,” the agency noted.<br />
<br />
Buckhaults noted, as per <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The Epoch Times</span> report, that the SV40 “sequence in the vaccine is NOT the cancer-causing SV40 large T antigen, which would be a very significant cancer risk.<br />
<br />
He said that the SV40 enhancer is a “standard bit of molecular biology engineering to achieve high level expression of the Neo resistance marker” that has been used “for decades.”<br />
<br />
He did state that the small DNA pieces of SV40 still have a “non-zero future cancer risk, same as all the other DNA sequences.”<br />
<br />
“Concern among regulators is appropriate, but panic among the public is not appropriate (and indeed harmful),” he noted.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">What is SV40 and why was it in the shots?</span><br />
<br />
SV40 in vaccines has been linked to the spread of turbo cancers in those who have been exposed to the virus via contaminated injections. According to a <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11897278/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">2002 study published in the Lancet</a>, there is evidence that links the older polio vaccines, which were filed with SV40 contaminants, to certain forms of cancer.<br />
<br />
Polio vaccines from the late 1950s to the early 1960s were all contaminated with SV40, after it was discovered that the virus was present in the monkey kidney cells, which vaccine makers used to grow the shots.<br />
<br />
The authors of the 2002 study claim that the SV40-contaminated polio vaccine may have caused up to half of the 55,000 cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosed each year.<br />
<br />
SV40, or the simian (monkey) virus as it is also known, according to Dr. Maurice Hilleman, who is a late vaccine developer, was put in the polio vaccine and then put into wide circulation by Merck inadvertently.<br />
<br />
It has never been clear, as noted by Mercola, whether SV40 has been completely removed from polio vaccines since, however, it is known that contaminated jabs were in circulation in Italy as late as 1999.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The Lancet</span> <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(04)16746-9/fulltext" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">book review </a>titled “The Virus and the Vaccine: The True Story of a Cancer-Causing Money Virus, Contaminated Polio Vaccine and the Millions of Americans Exposed” goes over SV40’s link to cancer in detail.<br />
<br />
An expert from the book reads, “By 1960, scientists and vaccine manufacturers knew that monkey kidneys were sewers of simian viruses. Such contamination often spoiled cultures, including those of an NIH researcher named Bernice Eddy, who worked on vaccine safety … Her discovery … threatened one of the USA’s most important public-health programs.”<br />
<br />
“Eddy tried to get word out to colleagues but was muzzled and stripped of her vaccine regulatory duties and her laboratory … [Two] Merck researchers, Ben Sweet and Maurice Hilleman, soon identified the rhesus virus later named SV40 – the carcinogenic agent that had eluded Eddy,” the book reads.<br />
<br />
By 1963, U.S. health authorities switched to African green monkeys, which do not naturally carry SV40 to make polio shots.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Adverse effects from COVID shots on the rise in Canada</span><br />
<br />
Adverse effects from the first round of COVID shots have resulted in a growing number of Canadians who have filed for financial compensation over alleged injuries from the jabs, via Canada’s Vaccine Injury Program (VISP).<br />
<br />
Thus far, some VISP has already <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadas-vaccine-injury-program-has-paid-out-over-6-million-but-almost-2000-claims-remain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">paid over &#36;6 million</a> to those injured by COVID injections, with some 2,000 claims remaining to be settled.<br />
<br />
Despite the health risks associated with the COVID shots, governments across Canada all enacted strict rules, including workplace jab mandates.<br />
<br />
As a result, many Canadians who chose not to get the shots lost their job. However, many of them are fighting back.<br />

<br />
Mon Oct 23, 2023 <br />
OTTAWA (<a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/health-canada-confirms-cancer-linked-simian-virus-40-dna-sequence-found-in-pfizer-covid-jab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">LifeSiteNews</a>) – The presence of Polyomavirus Simian Virus 40 (SV40), which is a monkey-linked DNA sequence known to cause cancer when it was used in old polio vaccines, has been confirmed by Health Canada to be present in the Pfizer COVID shot, a fact that was not disclosed by the vaccine maker to officials.<br />
<br />
As first reported by <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/exclusive-health-canada-confirms-undisclosed-presence-of-dna-sequence-in-pfizer-shot-5513277" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">The Epoch Times</a> last week, there is still ongoing debate among scientists regarding the findings, with some reporting SV40 poses a cancer risk and was hidden on purpose while others say it is nothing to worry about.<br />
<br />
<br />
As per an email that was sent to The Epoch Times, Health Canada said it “expects sponsors to identify any biologically functional DNA sequences within a plasmid (such as an SV40 enhancer) at the time of submission.”<br />
<br />
“Although the full DNA sequence of the Pfizer plasmid was provided at the time of initial filing, the sponsor did not specifically identify the SV40 sequence,” Health Canada added.<br />
<br />
Health Canada noted that Kevin McKernan, a microbiologist and former researcher and team leader for the MIT Human Genome project, and Dr. Phillip J. Buckhaults, who is a professor of cancer genomics as well as the director of the Cancer Genetics Lab at the University of South Carolina, had raised in a <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/exclusive-health-canada-not-concerned-about-scientists-finding-of-plasmid-dna-contamination-in-covid-shots-5449394" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">public manner</a> earlier this year how SV40 was present in the jabs.<br />
<br />
After this, Health Canada noted, it was “possible for Health Canada to confirm the presence of the enhancer based on the plasmid DNA sequence submitted by Pfizer against the published SV40 enhancer sequence.”<br />
<br />
SV40 is used to enhance gene transcription when the shots are made.<br />
<br />
According to McKernan, he noted in correspondence to The Epoch Times, that Pfizer did not let it be known of SV40 being in the COVID shots given its cancer link when it was used in polio vaccines decades ago.<br />
<br />
McKernan shared his concerns about SV40 but did say there is no straightforward evidence yet if it is a full-blown carcinogenic. He did warn the public that SV40 promoters are still a concern due to the risk of them “integrating into the human genomes near oncogenes, which are genes that have the potential to cause cancer,” as noted by The Epoch Times.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="https://twitter.com/P_J_Buckhaults/status/1708543984203939884" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Buckhaults</a>, “People have a right to have their concerns taken seriously and addressed by competent, caring scientists, even if their concerns end up being invalidated. We should look for monsters under the bed and report results honestly.”<br />
<br />
Health Canada spokesperson Mark Johnson, as noted by The Epoch Times, said the current data available regarding SV40 does not connect it to so-called “turbo cancers” linked with the COVID shot.<br />
<br />
Dr. Joseph Mercola in an opinion piece posted to LifeSiteNews in June mentioned a discussion about COVID jab contamination between Dr. Steven E. Greer and McKernan, along with Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi.<br />
<br />
According to McKernan’s team, SV40 DNA contamination was found in both the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA shots, with the findings posted on OSF Preprints in early April 2023.<br />
<br />
Greer noted, as observed by Mercola, that “governments and drug companies ‘have misled the world to a far greater extent than previously known.’ If these findings are correct, it would also mean that ‘the so-called ‘vaccines’ are actually altering the human genome and causing permanent production of the deadly spike protein,’ and this internal production of spike protein would, in turn, ‘trigger the immune system to attack its own cells.’”<br />
<br />
Mercola wrote that as for SV40 showing up in the COVID shots, “it appears to be related to poor quality control during the manufacturing process, although it’s unclear where in the development SV40 might have sneaked in.”<br />
<br />
“Quality control deficiencies may also be responsible for the high rate of anaphylactic reactions we’ve been seeing,” Mercola noted.<br />
<br />

<br />
NEW YORK, Aug 14 (<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/new-covid-vaccines-are-way-eris-variant-rises-2023-08-14/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Reuters</a>) - A new COVID vaccine is due out next month, but health experts and analysts say it is likely to be coolly received even as hospitalizations from "<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/what-is-eris-new-covid-variant-2023-08-14/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Eris</a>", a variant of the Omicron form of the coronavirus, rise around the country. [Eris was the Greek goddess of strife and discord. - <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">The Catacombs</span>]<br />
<br />
Some public health experts hope that Americans will welcome the new shot as they would a flu jab. But demand for the vaccine has dropped sharply since 2021 when it first became available and more than 240 million people in the U.S., or 73% of the population, received at least one shot.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 2022, by which time most people had either had the COVID virus or the vaccine, fewer than 50 million people got the shots.<br />
<br />
Healthcare providers and pharmacies such as CVS Health (CVS.N) will start next month to offer the shot, updated to fight the Omicron version of the virus that has been dominant since last year.<br />
<br />
They will be fighting declining concern about the virus, as well as fatigue and skepticism about the merits of this vaccine, Kaiser Family Foundation Director of Survey Methodology Ashley Kirzinger said.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Public health officials, if they want to see a majority of adults get these annual vaccines, they're going to have to make the case to the American public that COVID isn't over and it still poses a risk to them," Kirzinger said.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;" class="mycode_align"><img src="https://graphics.reuters.com/HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS/zgvorrmkopd/chart.png" loading="lazy"  width="400" height="600" alt="[Image: chart.png]" class="mycode_img" /></div>
<br />
The top reason vaccinated people gave in KFF surveys earlier this year for eschewing annual shots was they believed they had protection from the virus because of previous shots or infections, she said.<br />
<br />
COVID-19 vaccine makers have pared back expectations for this fall's vaccination campaign, with Pfizer – the largest maker of mRNA shots with BioNTech – recently warning that it might need to cut jobs if it does not do well. Its biggest rival, Moderna, conceded demand could be as few as 50 million shots.<br />
<br />
Last year, Pfizer and Moderna's vaccine sales topped &#36;56 billion worldwide; analysts project around &#36;20 billion for this year.<br />
<br />
Jefferies analyst Michael Yee said he does not expect the autumn campaign to reach last year's.<br />
<br />
"Take a look at what happened last winter. It was 50 million in the US, and it seems likely to be lower than that, given that there's less concern about COVID this year than last year," Yee said.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">POST PANDEMIC VACCINE</span><br />
<br />
The COVID public health emergency ended in May and the government has handed much of the duty of vaccinating America to the private sector. Over 1.1 million people in the United States have died from COVID, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<br />
<br />
CDC Director Mandy Cohen said last week in a podcast that she expects the shots - which still need to be authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and recommended by the CDC - to be rolled out in the third or fourth week of September. She suggested Americans should view these shots as an annual measure to protect oneself, in line with the annual flu shot.<br />
<br />
As with the flu, Pfizer (PFE.N)/BioNTech SE (22UAy.DE), Moderna (MRNA.O) and Novavax (NVAX.O), have created versions of the COVID vaccine to try to match the variant they believe will be circulating this fall. The shots are aimed at XBB.1.5, a subvariant that is similar to EG.5 and also a sub-lineage of the still dominant Omicron variant.<br />
<br />
COVID-19 related hospitalizations are up more than 40% off of recent lows hit in June, but are still more than 90% below peak levels hit during the January 2022 Omicron outbreak, according to CDC data.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">THE EVIDENCE</span><br />
<br />
Some doctors suggest that annual shots should be targeted at the elderly and other high risk people, who are most likely to have dire outcomes if they catch COVID-19.<br />
<br />
Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious diseases specialist at Vanderbilt University and a liaison to the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization practices, said it is possible that the ACIP could make a weaker recommendation for younger, healthier people. That could also affect demand.<br />
<br />
"Should children really receive this booster?" Schaffner said. "Should the average person with no underlying illness who is a younger adult receive this vaccine or should this vaccine now be a more targeted vaccine?"<br />
<br />
The CDC recommended children get a single dose of last year's updated vaccine for those aged 6 and older.<br />
<br />
Dr. David Boulware, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of Minnesota, said that according to research he has published, people who are boosted have less severe symptoms for a shorter duration.<br />
<br />
"When you look at what you can do to reduce your duration of illness, even if you do get sick, being boosted is going to be the best way to do that," he said.]]></description>

<a href="https://www.cityam.com/uk-inks-10-year-deal-with-moderna-to-produce-250m-vaccines-in-event-of-another-pandemic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">City AM</a> | December 23, 2022<br />
<br />
The UK government has signed a 10-year deal with Moderna to produce upwards of 250m vaccines a year in the event of a pandemic. <br />
<br />
The investment will give NHS patients access to UK-made mRNA vaccines while a new innovation and technology centre will be created, with 150 highly skilled jobs. <br />
<br />
In a major boost for the UK as a life sciences superpower, it will also boost health research and lead to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) working with Moderna in vaccine development.<br />
<br />
The partnership, led by the Vaccine Taskforce , was announced in June of this year. <br />
<br />
By producing vaccines in the UK, it will allow production to be massively scaled up in the event of a major health emergency, such as another pandemic or new covid variant. <br />
<br />
Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Steve Barclay, said: “This time 2 years ago, the UK was the first country in the world to administer a COVID vaccine outside of a clinical trial. Since then, countless lives have been saved across the world and more than 150 million doses have been given in the UK alone.”<br />
<br />
“It is vital we invest in fighting future variants of this disease as well as other deadly viruses that are circulating, such as seasonal flu and RSV, and this partnership with Moderna will also strengthen our ability to respond to any future pandemics.<br />
<br />
“By boosting our onshore vaccine manufacturing capability, we are a step closer to becoming the leading global hub for life sciences. This partnership will support our crucial mission to protect the people of the UK and across the world through the development of revolutionary vaccines and research.”<br />
<br />
The deal was heralded by Dr Jenny Harries, Chief Executive of UKHSA, who said it “will now be taking this forward as a vital part of our preparedness against future respiratory virus threats, including COVID-19.”<br />
<br />
“Our scientists have been monitoring the evolution of the virus throughout the pandemic, and assuring continued protection for the population. This partnership will take the winning ways of working with industry and build the nation’s resilience, giving us rapid access to vaccines. We look forward to working closely with Moderna and playing a key role in supporting the government’s ambitious life sciences strategy.”<br />
<br />
Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna, said: “Our new state-of-the-art facility will bring mRNA manufacturing to UK shores, providing the UK public with access to pandemic response capabilities through Moderna COVID-19 vaccines and future respiratory virus vaccine candidates.”<br />
<br />
Richard Torbett, Chief Executive, Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) said: “This partnership is fantastic news for British manufacturing and UK-based science and research. It is an important reminder that the Life Sciences Industry has the potential to be a key growth driver for the UK economy.”]]></description>

<div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">  A round the world, the extreme body count of men, women and children who have been injured or died following the forced and misrepresented genetic injections, continues to grow. The injections are dangerous based on their declared content, but they have many undeclared toxic ingredients as well. No one is spared from the assault on our rights and health.  </div>
<div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">  Though many doctors have maintained their income by complying with and participating in the criminal injection campaign; they are still required to roll up their sleeves and take their turns in this sick game of Russian roulette. In 2022 we now see dramatically increased death rates among young injected Canadian physicians. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">  Here is a recent compilation of Canada’s growing number of injected and lost medical doctors (currently 80). Our condolences go to the family’s of the lost Canadian physicians whose names and faces appear here. </div>

The August 23, 2021 FDA approval of Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine was a cause for celebration. Marked as a turning point in the battle against COVID19, the announcement was highly publicized by the Biden Administration with the clear intention to extinguish “vaccine hesitancy” and boost uptake.<br />

It was celebrated as a cause for national relief, and many Americans arrived at their local pharmacies under the impression, via government and pharmaceutical propaganda, that they were receiving an FDA-approved COVID vaccine. Yet that legally distinct product, as we know it, never existed. And now we know, via Pfizer, that it will never exist.<br />
<br />
For the uninitiated:<br />
<br />
Comirnaty is a legally distinct product from the emergency use authorization (EUA) shots, and It has never made its way to market. For months on end, no such vaccine has ever become available. Those who received the “Pfizer shot(s)” have been injected with the emergency use authorization (EUA) version of the shots. See my piece in The Dossier for more info.<br />

I fact checked the fact checkers and couldn’t believe what I found. Despite the corporate press, Big Pharma, and the federal government telling us otherwise, it is absolutely true that there is no FDA approved COVID-19 vaccine available in the United States today. And there are no plans to make one available any time soon…<br />

The information operation succeeded. There was indeed an FDA approved vaccine, at least on paper, but you couldn’t get it.<br />
<br />
When originally confronted with this ordeal, Pfizer labeled this issue an inventory question that had nothing to do with the legal distinction between an experimental EUA product and an FDA-approved vaccine. Up until just weeks ago, this was the statement up on the CDC website via Pfizer:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“Pfizer received FDA BLA license on 8/23/2021 for its COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals 16 and older (COMIRNATY).  At that time, the FDA published a BLA package insert that included the approved new COVID-19 vaccine tradename COMIRNATY and listed 2 new NDCs (0069-1000-03, 0069-1000-02) and images of labels with the new tradename.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">At present, Pfizer does not plan to produce any product with these new NDCs and labels over the next few months while EUA authorized product is still available and being made available for U.S. distribution.</span>  As such, the CDC, AMA, and drug compendia may not publish these new codes until Pfizer has determined when the product will be produced with the BLA labels.”</blockquote>
<br />
In May, Pfizer <a href="https://archive.ph/mND64" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">updated its statement</a> to mention a December 2021 licensed Comirnaty product, which was granted a license four months after the highly-publicized August FDA press release.<br />
<br />
And just last week, Pfizer finally acknowledged that its original licensed product will never be distributed. In an unreported update on the CDC website, Pfizer <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/iis/COVID-19-related-codes.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">told the agency</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>“Pfizer received initial FDA BLA license on 8/23/2021 for its COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals 16 and older (COMIRNATY). At that time, the FDA published a BLA package insert that included the approved new COVID-19 vaccine tradename COMIRNATY and listed 2 new NDCs (0069-1000-03, 0069-1000-02) and images of labels with the new tradename. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">These NDCs will not be manufactured. Only NDCs for the subsequently BLA approved tris-sucrose formulation will be produced</span>.”</blockquote>
<br />
The key distinction between the originally approved formulation and the tris-sucrose formulation is that — according to manufacturers — the latter can be held for a much longer period of time outside of an ultra cold freezer. These freezers cost over &#36;10,000 a piece and each unit uses as much energy per day as an average American household. Improper storage can render the mRNA unstable.<br />
<br />
Notably, the clinical trials for the Pfizer shot were conducted without the modified tris-sucrose ingredient. Given the partisan nature of Pfizer, the corporate media, government health bureaucracies, and your correspondent’s lack of expertise in this area, it is unclear whether this is significant.<br />
<br />
Another notable thing to look out for in the coming days and weeks is the possibility that the subsequently FDA approved product finally becomes available in the United States. In recent days, the CDC removed the language of “not orderable at this time” above the description of both Comirnaty and Moderna’s Spikevax.<br />
<br />
Additionally, as reported by <a href="https://uncoverdc.com/2022/05/27/military-email-reveals-alleged-deceit-regarding-pfizer-jab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Uncover DC</a>, the Defense Department appears to be in the early stages of ordering what it has interpreted as a legally required minimum of Comirnaty in order to continue its mRNA mandate of American service members.]]></description>
