Law of Unintended Consequences! Some vaxxed become unwitting spreaders

Analysis from: Geert Vanden Bossche / Janci Lindsay / S.V. Subramanian & Akhil Kumar / Rand Paul

One of the gutsiest scientists during 2021 has been an independent virologist and vaccine expert, Geert Vanden Bossche (DVM & PhD) who was formerly employed by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In early March of this year (which seems like eons ago) an alert reader sent me the doctor’s startling six-page entreaty, titled “Open letter to all authorities, scientists and experts around the world.”

That was seven months ago! I remember thinking “Wow! If any of this guy’s predictions are even half-right, he will go down in history as the greatest sage ever!” In his first paragraph, Bossche uses the term “human intervention” as a synonym for the efforts – occurring at that time – to develop a reliable, safe, and effective vaccine:

“As the unprecedented extent of human intervention in the Covid-19 pandemic is now at risk of resulting in a global catastrophe without equal, this call cannot sound loudly and strongly enough.”

His letter correctly predicted a concept known as “immune escape” and explained “This is how we are currently turning vaccinees into asymptomatic carriers shedding infectious variants.”

My hat is off to Geert Vanden Bossche. He went out a limb to warn all of us. If we had paid attention back then, we would all be better off today. Please read his entire March 6 letter:

Equally brave is Janci Lindsay, a PhD in Toxicology & Molecular Biology. Her ‘tweets’ got plenty of attention, but government types and most media outlets dismissed her as a kook. Looking back, she was attempting to validate the claims that Bossche and other concerned souls were making. Her highest-profile tweet is reproduced here:

Fast forward to the Sept. 30 online issue known as European Journal of Epidemiology. There – thanks to authors Subramanian and Kumar – even non-scientific types can understand the documentation and real world data. Here is just one of many astounding examples: New COVID-19 cases further exemplified, for instance, by comparison of Iceland and Portugal. Both countries have over 75% of their population fully vaccinated and have more COVID-19 cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa that have around 10% of their population fully vaccinated.

Their informative four-page article urges “learning to live with COVID-19 in the same manner we continue to live a 100 years later with various seasonal alterations of the 1918 Influenza virus.” The document can also be found below:

Finally, our accolades go out to U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) who came to the defense of the unvaccinated during a Senate hearing last week. We thank media outlet www.theblaze.com for this transcript:

Paul grilled Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra over the Biden administration’s seeming refusal to recognize natural immunity against COVID-19. Paul began the tense exchange by asking Becerra whether he was aware of an Israeli study that found natural immunity provided significantly stronger protection than the COVID-19 vaccine.

When Becerra admitted he is “not familiar with that study,” Paul tore into the secretary.

“I think you might want to be if you’re going to travel the country insulting the millions of Americans, including NBA star Jonathan Isaac, who had COVID, [and] recovered — look at a study with 2.5 million people, and say, ‘Well, you know what, I should make the decision,'” Paul said. “Instead, you’ve called Jonathan Isaac and others, myself included, flat-earthers. We find that very insulting, it goes against the science.”

“Are you a doctor or a medical doctor?” Paul pressed.

Becerra, in fact, is not a medical doctor or public health expert. He spent three decades in politics before joining President Joe Biden’s Cabinet this year. Becerra dodged the direct question, telling Paul that he has “worked over 30 years on health policy.”

Paul continued:

You’re not a medical doctor. Do you have a science degree? And yet you travel the country, calling people flat-earthers, who have had COVID, looked at studies of millions of people, and made their own personal decision that their immunity they naturally acquired is sufficient but you presume somehow to tell over 100 million Americans who survived COVID that we have no right to determine our own medical care. You alone are on high and you’ve made these decisions, a lawyer with no scientific background, no medical degree. This is an arrogance coupled with an authoritarianism that is unseemly and un-American.

You, sir, are the one ignoring the science. The vast preponderance of scientific studies, dozens and dozens, show robust, long-lasting immunity after COVID infection. Even the CDC does not recommend measles vaccine if you have measles immunity. The same was true for smallpox. But you ignore history and science to shame the flat-earthers, as you call them. You should be ashamed of yourself and apologize to the American people for being dishonest about naturally acquired immunity.

If the Biden administration wants to increase vaccination rates, then Paul told Becerra that officials must stop “lying to people about naturally acquired immunity.”

“Quit lording it over people, acting as if these people are deplorable and unwashed. Try persuasion instead of government cudgels. Try humility instead of arrogance. Try freedom instead of coercion,” Paul said. “Most of all, try understanding there is no more basic medical right than deciding what we inject into our bodies.”

“Today, after hearing that millions of people in a study prove — show without a doubt that there is a great deal of immunity from getting it naturally – do you want to apologize to the 100 million Americans who suffered through COVID, survived, have immunity, and yet you want to hold them down and vaccinate them?” Paul continued. “Do you want to apologize for calling those people flat-earthers?”

In response, Becerra did not address any of Paul’s points, but claimed the HHS is following “facts” and “the science.”

Paul responded by telling Becerra the HHS is not following the science, and explained he is not arguing against the COVID vaccine, but rather government mandates for people who have naturally acquired immunity.

“You are just ignoring [science] because you want submission. You just want everybody to submit to your will, do as you’re told, despite the evidence, the large body of scientific evidence that says naturally acquired immunity does work, is an important part of how we’re going to recover from this,” Paul said.

Editor’s note: Dr. Anthony Fauci infamously said last month he cannot explain why Americans with naturally acquired immunity against COVID-19 need the vaccine.
