Well, I never had the jab, so there.<\/p>\n
Had You Known, Would You Have Taken the Jab?<\/a><\/p>\n Would\u00a092%<\/a>\u00a0of American adults have gotten a Covid shot had they known the \u201cvaccines\u201d only offered a 0.85% reduction in risk? Would young men have taken the jab if they had known it did not prevent transmission?<\/p>\n Americans came to understand that the media campaigns supporting the shots were fraudulent. The touted benefits \u2013 preventing infection and transmission \u2013 were lies. In response, fewer than one in five Americans elected to receive \u201cboosters\u201d despite multi-billion dollar propaganda campaigns.<\/p>\n Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has now brought a suit to bring accountability for the fraud that resulted in record profits for the pharmaceutical industry. Last week, he filed a complaint alleging that Pfizer misrepresented Covid vaccine efficacy and \u201cconspired to censor public discourse\u201d in violation of Texas\u2019s Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA).<\/strong><\/p>\n While Big Pharma enjoys\u00a0immense government-provided insulation from legal liability<\/a>\u00a0for vaccine injuries, it cannot lie to promote those products.<\/p>\n Paxton alleges that the $75 billion Pfizer has raked in through sales of Covid vaccines were the \u201cdirect and proximate result\u201d of the company\u2019s deceit.<\/p>\n The DTPA requires Paxton prove two questions to succeed in his case. First, he must establish that the company lied or failed to disclose known information concerning its Covid vaccine. Second, he must prove that the company\u2019s fraud was designed to promote sales of the shots.<\/p>\n Brownstone previously analyzed the applicability of the\u00a0DTPA against Moderna<\/a>. Now, Paxton\u2019s lawsuit threatens Pfizer with fines of $10 million as well as awards of \u201crestitution, damages, or civil penalties.\u201d<\/p>\n Paxton\u2019s case argues that Pfizer deceived the public on three issues: (1) the efficacy of the vaccine; (2) whether the shots reduced the risk of transmission; and (3) the company\u2019s efforts to \u201ccensor[] persons who threatened to disseminate the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n In each instance, the company skewed the public debate in order to induce Americans to take its shots. The efforts stripped us of the right to informed consent, deceiving us on purported benefits while hiding established risks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First, Paxton targets the now-familiar falsehoods that the company, led by CEO Albert Bourla, touted, including that the shots had \u201c95% efficacy\u201d and worked against mutations of the virus.<\/p>\n Paxton\u2019s critiques do not require the benefit of hindsight. Pfizer\u2019s own data showed that the vaccine was merely 0.85% effective\u00a0<\/strong>in reducing the likelihood that an individual would contract Covid (known as absolute risk reduction). Put differently, Pfizer\u2019s clinical data showed that \u201cpreventing one COVID-19 case required vaccinating 119.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite this unconvincing data, Bourla claimed there was \u201cinitial evidence of our vaccine\u2019s ability to prevent Covid-19.\u201d Bourla later said that the shots had \u201c100%\u201d efficacy rates against mutations of the virus, including the Delta variant. Not only was this a lie, Pfizer never tested the shots against the variants. Still, in May 2021 he baselessly\u00a0claimed<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cno variant identified so far\u2026escapes the protection of our vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n Three months later, the company issued a press release saying that boosters would \u201cpreserve and even exceed the high levels of protection against\u2026relevant variants.\u201d Shortly thereafter, the United States exercised its option to purchase 500 million more doses of Pfizer\u2019s Covid vaccines.<\/p>\n These lies clearly and directly induced Americans to take products with illusory benefits. The claims were fabricated, and they led to billions of dollars in windfalls for Bourla and Pfizer.<\/p>\n Pfizer\u2019s marketing relied on convincing healthy young adults and teenagers to get shots despite the negligible risk that Covid posed to them. Bourla used transmission to launch a moral blackmail campaign. He told teenagers that they should get the shots to \u201cprotect\u2026their loved ones.\u201d He later\u00a0tweeted<\/a>, \u201cwidespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n Under oath, company officials later admitted that they had never tested whether the vaccines reduced transmission.<\/p>\n In October 2022, Pfizer spokeswoman Janine Small appeared at a European Parliament hearing. \u201cWas the Pfizer Covid vaccine tested on stopping transmission of the virus before it entered the market?\u201d\u00a0asked<\/a>\u00a0Dutch MEP Rob Roos. \u201cNo!\u201d Small responded emphatically. \u201cWe had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market; and from that point of view, we had to do everything at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n Under the DTPA, Paxton must prove that the company misrepresented information regarding the vaccine in an effort to promote sales of its products. With the vast majority of Americans under 70 facing zero substantial risk from Covid infection, the lies regarding transmission were critical to expand the customer base.<\/p>\n This deception underpinned the mandates in 2021 as government and corporate officials insisted that vaccination was necessary to keep healthy adults\u2019 coworkers and neighbors safe. By December 2021, Pfizer\u2019s stock price had doubled from the onset of the pandemic in February 2020.<\/p>\n As Pfizer committed to deceiving the public, it had to ensure that journalists would not uncover its corporate misdeeds. Paxton\u2019s suit outlines how the company \u201csought to intimidate and silence\u2026journalist Alex Berenson.\u201d<\/p>\n As Berenson reported on the efficacy, or lack thereof, of mRNA \u201cvaccines,\u201d Pfizer Board Member Dr. Scott Gottlieb colluded with Twitter to silence his reporting. In August 2021, Berenson\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0that Pfizer\u2019s vaccine \u201cdoesn\u2019t stop infection\u2026[o]r transmission,\u201d and had a\u201climited window of efficacy.\u201d Despite the veracity of these statements, Gottlieb wrote to Twitter officials encouraging them to ban Berenson\u2019s heresy.<\/p>\n Hours later, Berenson received a permanent ban (he was later reinstated following a lawsuit). Now, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is a defendant in\u00a0Berenson\u2019s case against the Biden Administration<\/a>, which accuses White House officials of colluding with private actors in Big Tech and Big Pharma to usurp Berenson\u2019s First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n Paxton\u2019s case also outlines how Pfizer worked to silence scientists who discussed the benefits of natural immunity, calling the rhetoric \u201ccorrosive\u201d to the public\u2019s confidence in their products. The aim was simple: shield Americans from the truth so that they would continue to get the product.<\/p>\n To this point, \u201cvictories\u201d against the hegemon that emerged in 2020 have been defensive in nature. Groups have fended off vaccine mandates, states have resisted calls for renewed lockdowns, and journalists have begun to expose the corruption that shattered Western civilization.<\/p>\n These efforts, though important, have failed to bring accountability against those who usurped our civil liberties and pillaged the national treasury. Paxton\u2019s suit strikes at the heart of the corruption behind the Covid regime: how their success required mass deception and their profits depended on lies.<\/p>\n Though $10 million in fines is little compared to the $75 billion in revenue that Pfizer raked in from vaccines alone, the suit signifies that the resistance is at last on the offensive.<\/p>\n Big Pharma sees this is a grave threat, and its lobbying forces led a failed impeachment effort against Paxton this fall. They threw him out of his office, and disabled his ability to do his job that the voters sent him to do. Turning up nothing, the legislature rejected the entire drama. Now he is back and working and this is the result: accountability at last.<\/p>\n The steep drop in demand for Covid shots reveals how Pfizer depended upon fraud to promote their most lucrative product. Once Americans knew the truth, demand dropped by over 75%.<\/p>\n Now, Paxton\u2019s suit brings that fraud to trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I never had the jab, so there.
