“Before I go any further, let me say the following: The Covid vaccines are remarkably beneficial tools. They’ve saved innumerable lives. And the evidence shows they’ve helped reduce the incidence of severe disease in untold numbers of people.”

We don’t know this. He can’t know this. No one knows this. Language like this, “reduce the incidence” is straight off the propaganda sheet. I don’t know if this guy really believes this or is just into the virtue signaling and moral equivalence crap.

Heck, we don’t even know how many died OF Covid rather than WITH Covid. It’s more than likely that OF Covid numbers are in the less than 10% of the deaths the media and CDC breathlessly report.

Interestingly, every drug advertised on television comes with a massive list of potential side effects and the warning don’t take this if….. see anything like that regarding the “vaccines”? And now Pfizer wants to intervene to “help” the FDA circumvent releasing the background info within the next 8 months rather than 75 years. If not releasing the background info for 75 years doesn’t say everything, nothing will.

Thanks for the “deep dive”. Here is a “shallow dive”. We have been repeatedly lied to by our Institutions. Journals have printed lies. “Science” has been unconscionably politicized. I refuse to be bullied anymore. This is my life, these are my choices.

Of course, the elephant in the room is that early treatment nearly completely eliminates the already-miniscule risk that the CCP virus represents to young men and boys. Here in The People's Republic Of Virginia, a bill before the Assembly to prohibit the state board of medicine from going after doctors who prescribed ivermectin and/or hydroxychloroquine failed along a strictly party-line vote. (Guess which party voted which way.) We are literally being murdered by our own elected officials.

I am a retired physician, and I review the medical literature every morning. I have two nearly-thirty year old sons, one of whom is taking local college courses at a school that requires the jab. I am recommending that he - who is at negligible risk from the CCP virus - drop out rather than take the risk.

I can't speak for elsewhere, but Virginia physicians are very successfully treating patients on the sly; family members are slipping ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine into the hospital rooms of their loved ones. Never should such subterfuge have to take place in the Land of the Free. I predict an electoral bloodbath in November, and I will certainly be doing everything legally in my power to help it happen.

Bari writes "Despite the conspiracy theories in some corners of the web or on Fox News, there is simply zero evidence that they are killing people; that they are harming people in large numbers; or that this is all some malicious plot by Big Pharma. There is overwhelming proof that these vaccines prevent serious illness."

I haven't heard anyone on Fox News make such lurid claims, and as noted below, Bari, you are better than this. Conflating the risks and benefits of vaccines for 80 year olds and 8 year olds is just silly. There are, two problems with the vaccines and mandates for children. First, the failure of the CDC and others to acknowledge and investigate the risk to kids. Second, this is compounded by the irrefutable and inconvenient fact that children are not particularly at risk for the virus. An inconvenience (for the "mandaters") that is exacerbated because the recent omicron variant is milder and the vaccines do not work against it. It really is time to stop the madness. We are being ruled by medical tyrants who have been revealed as quacks. There is no sugar coating this.

“The Covid vaccines are medical miracles. During the pandemic they have been literal life-savers; I’ll never forget the relief I felt after getting that first shot.”

“Despite the conspiracy theories in some corners of the web or on Fox News,…”

Yeah, stick with conspiracy theories from the MSM. They are eventually proven to be conspiracy theorist and, projectionists!

My 16-year old son who had Omicron in December is being forced to get the third dose by his school. I spoke to the doctor who is the head of the Covid committee and she told me and then all parents on a school wide zoom three untruth that she clearly believes. 1. That the vaccine is more effective than getting Covid at giving immunity and for this reason she would give her child a booster on the 11th day after getting Covid 2. That we need to give boosters to our children to protect the under five year olds who cannot yet be vaccinated 3. That there is total agreement on this position by all doctors. It is the last statement that drives me crazy. I had shown her scientific studies and data from Israel that at the very least show that there is no scientific consensus and examples of booster skepticism by prominent doctors abound across media. Clearly there is no agreement and don’t tell me otherwise. I am mostly disappointed by the fact that doctors and decision makers are letting their fears guide their decisions not the science. This is yet another issue that undermines trust in institutions.

I myself could have died from taking the vaccine, so I have experienced the side effects first hand. Prior to the second injection my blood pressure was 135/75 and had been stable all my life, although of course lower when I was younger. It was tested at the dentist the day before my second shot. AFTER the second shot my blood pressure shot up to 190/100, which can be silently fatal. If I had not been tested again at the ophthalmologist a couple of weeks later there is a very good chance I could have died from a stroke or a blood clot. Now I am forced to take blood pressure medicine, probably for life.

You are WRONG to assert that there is no evidence the shots are killing people. There is plenty!

This is just patently false Bari. You are better than this.

The Vaers DB has 21000 possible deaths linked to the vaccines and vaccines or any medication do not have to impact large numbers to be pulled.

With that said the premise of the article is right on. Scientific and policy debate is being shut down. The source of that behavior is always power and/or money related. This whole pandemic response is corrupt. Dr. Fauci and Collins have contributed to 100,000s of thousands of deaths and must be held accountable

It is good to hear at least some hint of a different point of view from a legacy journalist. Having said that, why are we so coddling of them? When one shows a slightly more balanced take on a Covid issue, he or she is either vilified or praised as the second coming. Meanwhile, the obligatory bashing of Fox News. Guess what, I am a lifelong Democrat with several advanced degrees (including journalism, Columbia). I can tell you that mainstream reporting has been a disgrace. The fawning propagandizing has been repulsive to me. Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan have been willing to ask the real questions in real time so they have the audience, it is that simple. What is the mainstream response? Demand they be censored. Really disgraceful and pathetic.

Bari -- Thank you for sticking up for the kids. Thank you for so much. I truly consider you a light during these times.

With all due respect though, fuck your gaslighting of the vaccine injured. I get it, you need to maintain credibility and there is no slur more damaging in the western world at this time than antivaxxer. That alone should clue you into something. Even Vinay Prasad who might marry vaccines if he could is now being called one. Who is driving that? That kind of scapegoating campaign is religious, not scientific.

We, who are vaccine injured, are the walking representation of the phrase "adding insult to injury." And you just did it above. No evidence? That's the statement of someone hiding under a rock. And fine, we're in dangerous territory when it comes to criticizing vaccines. You can be forgiven for hiding under a rock. But if you are going to claim your place as the intrepid reporter we all love you to be, if you consider yourself someone willing to speak truths that others wish to turn away from, then I challenge you to look at this further.

Look at the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System. This is the CDC's post-marketing surveillance system. It's a terrible system, but it's really all we've got. The reports have sky rocketed.

Watch the testimony with Senator Ron Johnson. The people offering that testimony are begging people like you to take notice. They've been abandoned by the media, our elected representatives, the CDC, NIH and FDA. They've been shunned by the pharmaceutical companies. They are begging.

And these are not Fox News types. These people were the first to sign up for the vaccines and the first to sign their children up. They were in the vaccine trials. They are doctors, nurses, engineers, preschool teachers and (were) professional athletes. Guess what? Some of their children are dead now. Some are living in wheelchairs.

Also included in this video are military doctors, Peter Doshi, editor of the British Medical Journal and respected researchers and academics.

I beg you. Listen to them. Listen to the preschool teacher, married to a PhD in Chemistry who was dropped from her vaccine trial when she had a life altering injury after her first shot. She's still not recovered. They've remortgaged their house to pay her medical bills (got about 500 bucks from the Pharma company who was supposed to cover all medical expenses should there be an adverse event.) What happens to her safety data when she's dropped from the trial? Doesn't take a science degree to process that one. It disappears. No conspiracy there.

Listen to the mother of a 12 year old who was in Pfizer's trial. A previously healthy girl who told her mother immediately after her second shot that something was terribly wrong. Her heart felt like it was being ripped out of her chest. Her daughter is now on a feeding tube and in a wheelchair. Do you know how Pfizer recorded her injury? A stomach ache. What does that do to the safety data? Again, doesn't take a science degree to figure it out.

You may have felt enormous relief after getting your vaccine. That has nothing to do with science and everything to do with your own psychology. These folks all thought they'd feel relief too and instead they are living (if they're lucky because some have died from the vaccines and others have killed themselves due to the agony and loneliness that followed) a nightmare.

When people like you erase their experience by calling it conspiracy theory (almost up there with antivaxxer as a lazy term) it's beyond offensive. You can do better. I hope you will.

Here's a link to one round of senate testimony. I think the speakers begin at about 30 minutes in: https://rumble.com/vokrf7-sen.-johnson-expert-panel-on-federal-vaccine-mandates.html?fbclid=IwAR22MjN8d6n-Lm1O_psf48QJDyUb3-1Olja_sM1FML1KGIhzDfBqiYayp3I

Why the need to genuflect to the vaccine cult in the first two paragraphs?

If vaccines are safe and effective then what is going on? We're seeing recent 40% increased non-covid mortality among 18-64 age group reported by multiple insurers who, by the way, have the death certificates. We're seeing record number of cases, which public health treats as infections.

Why, if the vaccines are safe and effective, are cases and mortality on the rise?

The virus is leaky, and everyone knows it.

“Despite the conspiracy theories in some corners of the web or on Fox News, there is simply zero evidence that they are killing people;”

—————————————————

This reminds me of how there’s zero evidence of voter fraud. That’s true. Because in order to identify ballots that were harvested or cast illegally you would have to survey the individual voters……which is illegal.

There’s no evidence because the system is designed to not provide evidence. If it had been illegal to send investigators to OJ’s house, there would have been no evidence in that case either.

While VAERS is giving a clear signal that something is happening, it is a system that appears as if it was designed to never generate reliable evidence.

The vaccine makes you more likely to get sick for the first two weeks and then it makes you less likely to get sick for 3 months. You are characterized as unvaccinated for the first two weeks so that really narrows the focus on how awesome the vaccines are.

If you’re old or unhealthy you should probably take it, mainly because everything else that works has been made harder to obtain than fissile materials. If you give it to a healthy child you should be put in prison.

According VAERS the vaccines have killed many thousands of people. Even if the reporting system is over/mis reported by 80% ( which according to a government audit it is, but in the under reporting department ) there would be a couple of thousand deaths caused by the vaccine which is far from zero Bari.

There’s lots of evidence that it helps folks but there’s lots of evidence that they kill people too. Don’t distance yourself from the truth so you can speak other truths, it undermines your stance.

First why is BW singing such praises for the therapeutics that these so called “vaccines” have become? Nobody knows long term effects of them. They have not been tested. They are still under emergency authorization. Did you see the actual numbers of people who died from Covid only in the UK? 17,000 Covid only deaths over 2 years compared to 700,000 dead Brits every year from all other causes. Lockdowns, forced medical testing (that’s what I call this forced vaccination) all caused by fear porn and massive psychosis and the sheep follows. BW is responsible for it abs she is also the victim of this psychosis.

I say shame on all who lie or are too lazy or stupid to do their own research.

Big pharma has killed and hurt thousands of people. If every one is vaccinated there will not be a control group to prove it was their fault in court. Oh and billions of dollars every year for a virus whose creation was funded by the people that tried to mandate vaccines.

Nothing to see here folks!

I watched Senator Ron Johnson's conference (COVID 19 A Second Opinion) last night on OAN. I thought I had been following all the information on the virus as it came out but this was an eye opener. The doctors were unanimous that children should NOT be vaccinated. The virus poses little danger to children but the vaccine can be deadly and cause long term serious health issues, particularly for boys.
