Two of the top officials at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a major change when it comes to the mRNA COVID shots. Starting immediately, the FDA will no longer approve any new mRNA COVID shots until they have undergone rigorous testing and trials.
In addition, the COVID jabs will no longer be recommended to any Americans unless they are over the age of 65 or have major health complications. This is a small, but necessary, step in the right direction.
Dr. Marty Makary is the new FDA commissioner, and Dr. Vinay Prasad is the head of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). They published a joint op-ed in the New England Journal of Medicine this week announcing the new policy.
In the op-ed, they make an observation that no mainstream news media outlet has reported to the American people yet. The op-ed states, “All other high-income nations confine vaccine recommendations to older adults (typically those older than 65 years of age).”
Every other advanced country has stopped recommending the shots for anyone under 65. Why did we have to be the last country to follow in their footsteps?
There are some good and bad aspects to this new policy going forward. If Pfizer, Moderna, or any other Big Pharma company invents a new COVID booster shot from now on, it won’t receive an FDA rubber stamp for a Biologics License Application. The pharmaceutical companies will first have to conduct randomized, controlled trials to evaluate real clinical outcomes before any new applications will be approved.
The shots were first rolled out in December 2020. By April 2021, we already knew the shots didn’t work. Biden’s FDA officials even made up a new term for this phenomenon, to excuse the fact that the shots didn’t offer any protection against COVID. They called these “breakthrough infections.”
Big Pharma needed to keep that gravy train running, however. So, Pfizer immediately set to work on a booster shot. They tested the first booster shot on eight mice.
Eight mice.
All eight of the mice caught COVID. Then, they killed the mice a week or two later. So, they knew the first booster shot was 100% ineffective at preventing COVID. Plus, they had no idea if there were even any short-term negative effects from the shots, because they killed the eight mice.
The FDA immediately approved the first booster shot, even though it didn’t work at all and there was virtually no “science” behind it. They started jabbing it into people in September 2021, right as Joe Biden’s illegal vaccine mandates were going into effect.
That won’t happen again under this new FDA policy. Drugs and vaccines have to be tested first to make sure they’re safe.
The bad news, unfortunately, is that the FDA is not going to force Pfizer and Moderna to go back and run real scientific trials on the original COVID shots or the six existing booster shots. So, they get a loophole on the shots that are already out there.
Another great aspect of this, however, is that the pharmaceutical companies are unlikely to conduct placebo-controlled trials on any new mRNA jabs after this. Trials are expensive, so they don’t like to do them in the first place. They also have to be able to prove to the FDA that any future mRNA booster shots prevent COVID, reduce COVID symptoms, and reduce hospitalizations and deaths from COVID.
If the pharmaceutical companies were to do real clinical trials, and the shots ended up killing or crippling a bunch of people, the jig would be up. As long as they never do these types of trials, they can keep claiming that it’s just a weird coincidence when someone’s 12-year-old daughter dies from a stroke after getting vaccinated.
Here’s another aspect of this that could spell the end of COVID mRNA shots. Since the FDA is no longer recommending the COVID jabs for anyone under 65, the liability shield that the pharmaceutical companies enjoy on these shots goes away. If someone under 65 gets the jab now and it hurts or cripples them, the pharmaceutical company is liable.
That last point could mean that this is truly going to be the end of any future mRNA shots, for COVID or any other disease. Without their precious liability shield, pharma companies will either have to make provably safe medicines or go do something else for a living.
