Dr. Malone has always presented himself as an intelligent and thoughtful man of even & stable disposition.
This is being reported as the video {Direct Rumble Link Here} that got Dr. Robert Malone banned from Twitter. In this video Dr. Malone makes very strong statements about the “irreparable harm” to children caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. WATCH:
I can see why the powers that be would respond to this video with such ferocity. What Dr. Malone states in this video is alarming in the extreme. He is specifically stating that any parent or grandparent who has permitted, facilitated or chosen to vaccinate their child, has permanently and irrevocably harmed them.
According to his statement, the consequences of that harm will surface in the future life and health of the child. These are remarkable words that stun the viewer when absorbed in their totality. If what Dr Malone is saying in this video is accurate, the consequences, not only to the children – but also to the larger society of all future generations, could collapse global social structures.
Think about the ramifications to families, communities and the construct of the global relationship of all citizens to their government, if what he is saying is accurate. Additionally, if these words are true, there’s no way any institution of government could ever admit them. The consequences are unfathomable.
The transcript of his remarks is available HERE and duplicated below:
My name is Robert Malone, and I am speaking to you as a parent, grandparent, physician and scientist. I don’t usually read from a prepared speech, but this is so important that I wanted to make sure that I get every single word and scientific fact correct.
I stand by this statement with a career dedicated to vaccine research and development. I’m vaccinated for COVID and I’m generally pro-vaccination. I have devoted my entire career to developing safe and effective ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
After this, I will be posting the text of this statement so you can share it with your friends and family.
Before you inject your child – a decision that is irreversible – I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created:
There are three issues parents need to understand:
The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including
Their brain and nervous system
Their heart and blood vessels, including blood clots
Their reproductive system
And this vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system
The most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable
You can’t fix the lesions within their brain
You can’t repair heart tissue scarring
You can’t repair a genetically reset immune system, and
This vaccine can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your family
The second thing you need to know about is the fact that this novel technology has not been adequately tested.
We need at least 5 years of testing/research before we can really understand the risks
Harms and risks from new medicines often become revealed many years later
Ask yourself if you want your own child to be part of the most radical medical experiment in human history
One final point: the reason they’re giving you to vaccinate your child is a lie.
Your children represent no danger to their parents or grandparents
It’s actually the opposite. Their immunity, after getting COVID, is critical to save your family if not the world from this disease
In summary: there is no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine that as a parent, you and your children may have to live with for the rest of their lives.
The risk/benefit analysis isn’t even close.
As a parent and grandparent, my recommendation to you is to resist and fight to protect your children. (link)
India’s Home Minister Amit Shah believes that his nation is on track to become the fastest-growing economy in 2022. India just experienced an 8.4% rise in GDP during Q3 compared with the year prior. Asia’s third-largest economy seems to be growing faster than many other nations; however, inflation and labor woes are hurting growth.
Inflation soared 14.3% in November after months of double-digit increases. Urban unemployment is around 9%, according to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, which noted that the poor are experiencing the effects of inflation most significantly.
Private consumption in India in Q2 was 7.7% less than the same timeframe in 2019 and 2020. Demand has waned from the lowest earners as they are simply struggling to survive. Aljazeera noted that India’s micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) compose 30% of GDP, represent 50% of exports, and 95% of manufacturing. Due to COVID, 9% of MSMEs have shut down. That number is likely to rise as thousands reported earlier in the year that they would need to scale down or shut down before 2022.
The government supported a rural job program as highly desired employment in the larger cities is scarce. The program developed was designed to guarantee workers 100 days of paid work, but the annual budget ran out of funds only seven months into India’s fiscal year. Sabyasachi Kar, RBI Chair at the Institute of Economic Growth, has stated that this problem is not novel as India has failed to create enough manufacturing jobs. Instead, MSMEs remain the staple of India’s workforce, employing nearly 110 million people.
Other countries are keen to trade with India, and they certainly have promise for advancement. India successfully moved away from its agriculture-based economy over the last two decades and earned its place as the sixth-largest economy in the world.
Americans have lost faith in the economy after a year of runaway inflation and incompetent leadership. The Economic Confidence Index (ECI) fell to -33 last week, similar to levels seen during April 2020 when the world economy went on a hiatus. With inflation running at its highest level since 1982, it is no wonder that the public has lost confidence in the government’s ability to handle the economy. Even President Biden recently told the public that there is no solution at a federal level to combat the effects of covid.
About 67% of respondents said that the economy is worsening. Around 29% said that the economy was their greatest concern, and among them, 11% cited general concerns, 6% cited employment constraints, and 2% cited class differences. Around 21% said poor government leadership was of utmost concern and 13% noted the ongoing coronavirus. Gallup stated that 40% of Americans would rate the economy as “fair,” while 42% feel it is “poor.”
“As 2021 comes to a close, morale is low in the U.S. COVID-19 continues to rage on, perceptions of the U.S. economy have worsened, Biden’s job approval rating is slumping, and Americans’ overall satisfaction with the direction of the country is low,” the report concluded. “Six months ago, the public was much more optimistic, but the delta and omicron variants of COVID-19, supply chain problems and rising inflation have dampened spirits.”
This is how the pendulum swings from public to private waves.
New Zealand has unofficially approved assisted euthanasia for a virus with a ~98% survival rate. Under the End of Life Choice Act (EOLCA) that passed in 2020, citizens may choose to end their life in a medical setting if they meet the following criteria:
aged 18 years or over
a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand
suffering from a terminal illness that is likely to end their life within six months
in an advanced state of irreversible decline in physical capability
experiencing unbearable suffering that cannot be relieved in a manner that the person considers tolerable
competent to make an informed decision about assisted dying
At the beginning of December, the Ministry of Health (MOH) responded to an inquiry by The Defender. “Could a patient who is severely hospitalised [sic] with Covid-19 potentially be eligible for assisted suicide or euthanasia under the Act if a health practitioner viewed their prognosis as less than 6 months?” The Defender questioned. The MOH stated that the guidelines state a citizen may legally end their life if their prognosis is less than 6 months. “A terminal illness is most often a prolonged disease where treatment is not effective. The EOLC Act states eligibility is determined by the attending medical practitioner (AMP), and the independent medical practitioner,” the MOH added, italicizing the portion noted.
The New Zealand Ministry of Health basically admitted that they would permit doctors to give patients the OK to end their life if they contract COVID. “Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis; therefore, the Ministry cannot make definitive statements about who is eligible. In some circumstances, a person with COVID-19 may be eligible for assisted dying,” the statement continued. The law is so broad that the requirements are subject to interpretation — a life or death interpretation.more
It is interesting how the propaganda “fact-checkers” who have NO medical background went into panic mode to claim that the CDC did not mean what they said and desperately tried to spin it around. Claiming the CDC did not mean what it plainly wrote that the COVID tests cannot distinguish between the Flu and COVID was clearly political. Look at all the lockdowns, people forced into home confinement all over tests that are not valid.
I previously wrote that I had a breathing problem so I did go to the ER in the hospital. They x-rayed my lungs and assumed I had COVID. They threw me into the COVID wing and then said it would take TWO COVID tests with negative results to get released. As I said, 5 tests later, all were negative. Yet based upon the x-rays, two doctors said that I had probably COVID and that the tests were INVALID.
Now the FDA admits that the Rapid COVID-19 antigen tests may be less effective at detecting Omicron than earlier strains on the virus. Indeed, the PCR test is meaningless because it has never been standardized and compared to an isolated virus. If you read the fine print of the PCR test by Roche, it clearly states: “This test is not to be used for diagnostic purposes.”
Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test who was awarded a Nobel Chemistry Prize, said that “…with PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody.”
Anyone who has dared to repeat Mullis’ comments is classified as “misinformation” and a “conspiracy theory” all because COVID has become political. This is no longer about health. The fact-checkers spinning this to maintain the medical tyranny are doing so for a political agenda and they could care less about the health of society. Biden has even lifted the travel ban on South Africa and the doctors there say that Omicron is extremely mild.
Now even one British Court has ruled against the vaccines. We will NEVER know the truth until politics is banned from medicine.

Nevertheless, New York City has committed economic suicide. Broadway plays are folding like dominoes. Vaccine mandates have killed New York City. The New York governor’s mask mandate has caused confusion and protests. She never bothered to read the Washington Post’s report that masks were “useless” during the 1918 Spanish Flu. Indeed, when I told the doctors I did not know anyone with COVID, they said I could have got it by pumping gas into my car. So I said, then masks are useless, they said pretty much!
Hospitals that refuse to depart from the political agenda are highly dangerous and anyone should inquire about their policy BEFORE entering. It took a judge to order a hospital to administer COVID alternative medicines. David DeLuca of Sicklerville, New Jersey will never know if the Ivermectin prescribed by an out-of-state doctor for his wife would have saved her life. Colleen DeLuca, 62, died of COVID-19 on Oct. 10, at Jefferson Washington Township Hospital in Sewell, New Jersey, before he could get a court order to administer the drug. It is unimaginable that people have to go to court to force hospitals to administer Ivermectin all because this has become so political. Some doctors have abandoned their oath to first do no harm. Check their willingness to administer Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine and any doctor who refuses you should go elsewhere. The head of pulmonary at Tampa Hospital told me besides the fact that I probably had COVID despite the 5 negative tests, that Hydroxychloroquine was the ONLY thing they had to help severe patients.
Australia, which has returned to its historical roots of a penal colony imprisoning its citizens, would not even allow its own citizens to return home from overseas. That was just lifted. They stranded their own people overseas without any financial assistance to live outside the country in hotels. Only beginning November 1, did New South Wales open its borders to the fully-vaccinated Australians stranded overseas. Initially, only Australian citizens, residents, and their families were to be eligible for quarantine-free travel through Sydney. Then the abuse of politicians in Australia is leading the way to the top of the list of corruption.
It appears that many of these politicians have been “encouraged” by big Pharma to impose Draconian measures for a disease that has had a lethal impact of just 0.25% (only 800,000 out of 320 million). Yet they have terrorized the world population using invalid tests while destroying small businesses and changing the world economy forever. Whenever I went to a play on Broadway, most of the people there were foreign tourists. There will NEVER be a return to normal. They have changed the world permanently and politicians, as well as fact-checkers, will NEVER admit to ever making a mistake.

On economic matters, no one really knows what is about to happen, with one possible exception. It is demonstrably certain inflation into 2022 will continue increasing. Beyond that, after pumping $9+ trillion into the U.S. economic system under the guise of COVID relief, we are entering some very uncharted waters.
On a macro level, CTH has an idea what is likely to take place in the next three years; however, before getting to that, allow me to present evidence for the underlying supposition. As you can see from this Biden message, shaped entirely by politics, on an economic basis the people around him have no idea what the downstream consequences of 2020 and 2021 will present in 2022:
The team behind Joe Biden brag about the U.S. economy being the only economy to continue growing during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Their top line reference point is the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. Their brag is the U.S. GDP did not shrink during 2021 and the COVID pandemic.
However, what they omit (for political reasons) is that massive U.S. spending and bailouts covered the GDP hole. More than $9 trillion was injected for stimulus payments, blue state bailouts, payroll protection programs, rent moratoriums, school subsidies, medical payments to hospitals, student loan payment pauses, vaccination purchases, covid sick pay and years of continually extended and enhanced unemployment benefits.
They also omit that none of this domestic spending would be possible if the global trade currency did not take place in dollars. Our value is propped up by the fact that almost all trade takes place in U.S. currency. If that system was not in place, congress could not spend this much money without collapsing the U.S. into a devaluation position resembling what happened previously in Greece.
The only way for Biden to avoid the direct economic consequence of this massive injection of $9+ trillion, which has created the illusion of a strong GDP by subsidizing consumer spending, is to keep injecting more money to keep the artificial GDP inflated.
Biden really needs congress to keep spending. However, it now looks like congress does not have an appetite to do this….. so, the consequences are coming.
The prior spending covered a hole created by a drop in total economic activity. Outputs dropped, payrolls dropped, consumer spending would have dropped, etc. In essence, the void in economic activity was subsidized on a massive scale by government.
The U.S. economy was essentially a $20 trillion GDP going into the pandemic period. Think of the GDP as total value. We do not know what the total contraction on the economy was due to the first subsidy; but we do know the aggregate response over the past two years has been to subsidize -or cover- the contraction with a $9 trillion blanket.
That $9 trillion in artificial GDP value is the most direct cause of inflation. There are other aspects related to energy policy making products more expensive (energy, gas, fuel, transportation, heating, cooling, etc), but the $9 trillion artificial spend is the largest factor of current inflation.
These two figures will become important moving forward. A $20 trillion natural economy, and $9 trillion in unnatural spending to maintain it.
In our economic studies, CTH has assembled a reference library from which we can draw guidance. The 2008 and 2009 bailout phase [TARP, auto-bailouts, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), QE1 and QE2 as well as the porkulous bill] provide some reference points for long term outlooks.
There is a general investing guideline consisting of a factor of seven. Seven years to double money, seven years to recover investment, seven years of depreciation etc. The number seven shows up in multiple macro-economic reference points. Seven is also represented by an approximate of 13%.
Spending at the level of 25% of our GDP (over two years) creates an inflationary pressure point of a similar size. Two years at 13% is 26% inflation. In real terms, that’s roughly where we are right now – we are somewhere in the 25% range in higher prices on goods overall. That aligns with the spending subsidy inside the U.S. economy.
If my review of the ’08/’09 spending impact is accurate as an overlay, it means our natural economic cycle will take roughly four years to make parity between real wage incomes and the inflation rate. It will take us four years to grow wages enough to cover for all this spending. Meaning, in four years the level of overall wages will be enough to finally catch the inflation currently recorded in the price of goods.
However, the problem arises in the near future. Without that $9 trillion spent, our GDP would have contracted. We now need to work through the value of that contraction in the economy. We need wages to rise to compensate for inflation; but unfortunately, we are about to enter a phase where employment is likely to contract.
Two-thirds of the U.S. GDP is created by consumer spending. Inflation, created by prior spending, is chewing up current wages and incomes. As a consequence, disposable income is wiped out. Consumer spending on non-essential products and services (luxury stuff) is essentially gone. That reality is going to lead to a natural drop in employment as non-essential goods and services are no longer in demand.
We covered the prior point where the drop in demand for less essential products would have happened with government spending. That subsidy is now drying up, and the hole we avoided is now in front of us. All of the people who work in the economic process of providing ‘less-essential‘ goods and services will now likely see lay-offs.
This could potentially set us on a collision course. If the employment condition worsens, there will be no need for upward pressure on wages. At the same time, wage pressure decreases the inflation pressure remains high. This dynamic means it takes even longer than four years to cover the hole of the previous spending.
We have talked about the predictable consequences of this dynamic for approximately eight months. Some of the data is now beginning to surface to support exactly what we were discussing last year. All of the artificial spending is drying up, and now the inflationary bills (chickens) are coming home to roost.
Each spike on the WolfStreet graphic below is government COVID spending. Massive influxes of artificial payments into the economy. The first spike is the Paycheck Protection Plan and initial economic bailout. The second spike was the second covid relief bill, and the third spike (the tallest) was the soon followed even larger covid relief bill.
The WolfStreet analysis shows how inflation is much higher than wage growth {DATA HERE}. Those spikes represent approximately $4.5 trillion in spending – subsidy infusions into the U.S. employer and employee workforce.
Inflation will continue chewing up wages through next year. However, it can readily be expected that total employment will start getting a lot more tenuous as consumers/workers hunker down and prioritize spending on higher priced housing, food, energy and fuel.

When CDC Director Rochelle Wolensky talks, she is speaking to a diminishing audience of branch covidians. As the official guidance from the U.S. medical community (NIH, FDA, CDC) shifts drastically, more people are awake to the political motives behind the rules. This reality is now becoming a serious issue for them.
Earlier today, CDC Director Wolensky spoke to several stenographers about the changes. On ABC she stated there was no recommendation to “test out” of quarantine after five days, because the CDC is now admitting the PCR tests are useless. As she stated, “PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks” after the infection. This is an issue now, because the politics of the quarantine has changed. WATCH:
In another interview the CNN stenographer, now sensing the dam collapsing, asked directly if this shift in quarantine guidance was due to the “business” or economic impacts of COVID as it relates to the ever-shifting science.
What we are watching, in real time, is a considerable shift amid those who are attempting to retain the false premise behind the COVID narrative. People are not jumping into the booster narrative, because the difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated is now nullified by the statements and guidance of the officials themselves.
It is going to get more difficult for the regime to keep pushing COVID-19 mandates, while they have to keep justifying their contradictory positions. The contradictions themselves do not make sense when contrast against the science, especially when the scientific outcomes undermine the original premise of the mandates, rules and guidance.
This is why it has become even more important, in this destabilized public opinion phase, for opposing scientific views to be suppressed.
The institutional government healthcare system is trying to retain credibility. However, the dam is breaking, and they have run out of fingers and toes to plug the gaps. Those in the executive suites have shifted their efforts to securing scuba gear, as indicated by Biden’s “there is no federal government solution”….
Continuing with the dam analogy, further credibility collapses will likely become exponential if the praetorian guard media start asking the obvious questions about where all this water is coming from, and we move into the phase of rapid sunlight.
The larger issue is not related to Twitter’s individual and arbitrary rules, but rather all Americans should consider that communication about COVID-19 is being restricted by various compliance officers operating on behalf of the state. We are living in a communication era of Orwellian proportions.
We are also entering into a very dangerous phase in our national history. People are eyes-wide-open to the vaccine propaganda, messaging and inherent conflicts from officials in the institutions of government and health.
While it may sound like a good outcome to have massive numbers of Americans awaken to their new reality, and that outcome results in a complete collapse in confidence with government officials, the downstream consequence of such severe destabilization comes at a much higher cost than the virus itself.
Dr. Malone can be found on the Substack platform where he shares the following message:
We all knew it would happen eventually.
Today it did. Over a half million followers gone in a blink of an eye. That means I must have been on the mark, so to speak. Over the target. It also means we lost a critical component in our fight to stop these vaccines being mandated for children and to stop the corruption in our governments, as well as the medical-industrial complex and pharmaceutical industries.
So, please spread the word – share this on your own twitter feed or whatever social media venue you wish.
Traditionally, the telegram account with my handle (rwmalonemd) is run by a someone else – it is not my own account. They have done a good job auto-posting from twitter and I have personally thanked the person who does this (I only have one of me and getting scientific knowledge and info pushed out is critical in this battle). It has 100,000 followers. Not sure how that will work now…
Tomorrow I am on the Joe Rogan show (I don’t know when it will air, probably tomorrow maybe)? Please spread the word that you can see me there next!
Marty Makary, MD, MPH, remains one of the most prominent critically thinking public health experts during this pandemic. A staunch supporter of COVID-19 vaccination, Dr. Makary, a prominent surgeon and editor-in-chief of MedPage Today, also raised the importance of balanced, more unbiased scientific reasoning, often making declarations that haven’t been popular with the dominant government and industry-driven pandemic narrative. For example, Makary has argued that a proper risk-benefit analysis should accompany any mass COVID-19-focused pediatric vaccination drive. Now the surgeon and researcher affiliated with Johns Hopkins University shares with the world concerns about indiscriminate booster campaigns—raising the specter of possible harm associated with such a one-size-fits-all approach embraced by the current U.S. executive branch and its scientific advisors.
While the government, backed by industry and all-too-willing academician advisors (undoubtedly hopeful of more public grants and other financial benefits) continue to promote the full acceleration of mass booster programs, little to no mainstream discussion appeals to the negative side of the health-related ledger: what are the side effects of these vaccines? What about long-term risks? Of course, little is known about long-term health impacts because these products are so new. They have only been in use in the population for about a year. Often, it can take a handful of years before the true health risks associated with medicinal products materialize. But perhaps a glimmer of awareness shines through with growing chatter about vaccination risks alongside all-encompassing benefits.
Recently Makary shared a message from Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH, who introduces a new paper in Nature uncovering differing adverse event risk factors by vaccine product.
Led by corresponding author Julia Hippisley-Cox from the University of Oxford, the study shares how the risks for conditions such as myocarditis and pericarditis are very real, despite the initial clinical trial results.Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “COVID-19” ChannelNo spam – we promise
The self-controlled case series study targeting vaccinated people 16 years of age and up in England analyzed cardiovascular adverse event incidence by vaccine product, including AstraZeneca/Oxford (ChAdOx1), Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2), and Moderna (mRNA-1273).
The study authors discovered that the risks for myocarditis increase under the following conditions:
∙ After the first dose of AstraZeneca and Pfizer
∙ Subsequent to the second dose of Moderna over the 1–28-day post jab period
∙ Following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test
More specifically, according to this real-world data, myocarditis risks increases by the following:
Vaccine
Extra myocarditis event per/1 million
Stats
AstraZeneca
2
95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3
Pfizer-BioNTech
1
95% CI 0, 2
Moderna
6
95% CI 2, 8
The authors reported these outcomes for 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. In comparison, they find an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) such cardiovascular events per million 28 days after preliminary test indicating risks associated with COVID-19 itself. Indicating that overall vaccination could be less risky—but that precludes important subgroup analysis.
The UK-led study extends a growing study literature investigating COVID-19 vaccine-associated adverse events. In this case, significantly so, based on an analysis of 38 million adults in England receiving both the mRNA-based vaccines as well as the AstraZeneca product (adenovirus-mediated vaccine).
The study team discovered heightened myocarditis risk in subgroups (e.g., males under 40) as well as temporal association indicating risks after both the first and second jabs within a seven-day period post-vaccination.
The authors declared, “The excess risk was observed in men and women but was only consistently observed following both mRNA vaccines in those younger than 40 years.” The authors qualify that fewer people under 40 received the mRNA-based vaccines however other national health authorities have already acted, unbeknownst to most of the North American public.
Vaccine Limitations
Dozens of national health authorities have established parameters for vaccination during this unprecedented mass vaccination program. TrialSite provides some examples below that rarely make it into mainstream media in places like the United States, Canada, and even England.
Moderna
Due to heightened risks associated with mRNA-1273 for myocarditis and other events, numerous counties have placed either temporary or permanent restrictions on the use of this novel COVID-19 vaccine product.
TrialSite has reported how all the Scandinavian nations (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and even Iceland) have imposed limitations on access to this vaccine. In summary, health authorities in these nations have declared that the risks of cardiovascular-related events are too high for younger people, especially young males. TrialSite notes Moderna’s share price has been on a downward trend as reported by Yahoo Finance. Could traders have known something many others don’t?
AstraZeneca
Numerous nations placed holds, some permanent, some temporary, on this vaccine as TrialSite has reported ongoing. Even Wikipedia is updated on the “Suspensions” associated with this vaccine that had so much promise (more economical, easier to distribute, etc.).
This is not to say that this vaccine hasn’t helped in the war against COVID-19 but the health-related costs associated with the novel product are real. Numerous nations in Europe, not to mention South Africa, Canada, Indonesia, and Australia placed suspensions at one point or another due to safety concerns such as blood clotting and low blood platelets. Still authorized by Europe and other authorities, many nations however transition from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more tailored, risk-based approach to vaccination. Remember, the USA completely stopped the AstraZeneca vaccine program.
More Data from Oxford-led Follow-on Study
Back to the mRNA-based vaccines and the most recent Oxford-led study in the preprint (this means it shouldn’t be used for making definitive claims). Males under 40 years of age face a higher risk with the vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Modena than actual COVID-19 infection, thus raising concern that a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach to COVID-19 vaccination should be supplanted with a more tailored, precise approach. After all, that follows the trend in the science of medicine anyway.
Dr. Prasad discussed the limitations of the former peer-reviewed (Nature) study as the exact number of vaccines were known while the actual number of SARS-CoV-2 infections wasn’t certain at all. But with known limitations, he referred to the Oxford-led authors’ updated point of view uploaded to medRxiv for further clarification.
In this update, the authors found a heightened risk of myocarditis following one to 28 days after the third booster dose of Pfizer’s BNT162b2 (IRR 2.02, 95%CI 1.40, 2.91). Not surprisingly, the risks were highest in males aged 40 and under with all vaccines with the various observations in the updated study:

The authors report that while the risk of myocarditis is very real for those sick with SARS-CoV-2, the risk-benefit analysis contributes to a reasonable position against vaccination of people 40 and under. But why aren’t governing health authorities discussing this science? Dr. Prasad asks publicly why health authorities aren’t and associated political representatives are re-adjusting the “risk radar?”
Medicine is nuanced as Prasad declares and in his point of view “Profit, greed, and power…not so much!!” TrialSite suggests some truth in this argument—the evidence of some forms of regulatory capture is present during this pandemic. TrialSite has accumulated a vast trove of study results, news stories, and various analyses pointing in this direction. Moreover, the level and type of information suppression indicate some forms of collusion between government, industry, and the largest media corporations.
Industry received considerable incentive to develop products and should be held accountable when public finances are involved. Yet they also take on enormous risks—the drug development process is complex, time-consuming, and financially risky. TrialSite suggests for those that seek reform to better understand deeper, more systemic forces are at play during the pandemic including intense investor demand for high returns.
The pharmaceutical industry shouldn’t be unilaterally vilified but also must be held accountable as should public health authorities and government embrace the comprehensive, unfolding science—not just a subset of data or evidence to back a convenient narrative.
TrialSite continually educates that the pharma companies operate in a system that economically and financially punishes executives and their talent for failing to shrewdly exploit financially any rich, fertile profit conditions such as COVID-19.
On the other hand, a balance can be achieved if regulatory and executive branch agencies behave and act independently with the public interest as a goal. Hence the risks and dangers of regulatory capture. But what happens when government and industry get too cozy? Known by some as “Crony Capitalism,” this involves a move away from free-market ideals mitigated by independent and objective regulators to an intertwined dynamic, vulnerable to bias and even corrupted practices.
The pandemic exposed system vulnerability in pandemic response, including a tendency or impulse for some Western governments and health authorities to lean toward authoritarian-centric responses while not only ensuring windfall profits for the winners at the expense of at least some public health considerations. An example would be the ongoing imposition of PREP Act liability shields despite widespread mandates. What happened to consumer rights activism?
Some could argue the growing polarization in places like America only worsened the situation, conflating politics with the economy and public health. However, no orthodoxy, regardless of paradigm or hypothesis, will hasten the demise of the pathogen other than an objective, science- and evidence-driven approach factoring in real-world unfolding and ongoing intelligence. Suppression of data that contradicts or raises questions about the dominant narrative only worsens social and political divides leading to new forms of crises that governments seek to manage, most of the time unsuccessfully.
