Stanley Plotkin et al wrote an article for The New England Journal of Medicine recently. The purpose of his words was to attract even more funding for Big Pharma but in doing so he admitted that all vaccines are not tested properly.
…the widespread vaccine hesitancy observed during the Covid-19 pandemic suggests that the public is no longer satisfied with the traditional safety goal of simply detecting and quantifying the associated risks after a vaccine has been authorized for use.
Great gaslighting! Plotkin suggests that, up until now, the public have been happy that vaccines haven’t been properly tested before use. In reality, Plotkin and his colleagues have been telling everybody that vaccines are properly tested and the public believed them. It looks like the pandemic has caused this dam to burst and even characters like Plotkin are trying to wriggle away from the fact that they have been busted.
The public also wants public health authorities to mitigate and prevent rare but serious adverse reactions.
Whatever gave you that idea, Plotkin? Why would we want you to test the vaccines before you inject them into our and our children’s bodies? Just cover up the adverse reactions once we’ve all been injected, it’ll be fine [sarcasm].
Postauthorization studies are needed to fully characterize the safety profile of a new vaccine, since prelicensure clinical trials have limited sample sizes, followup durations, and population heterogeneity.
Translation: vaccine trials before rollouts are inadequate. No vaccine is tested properly.
It is critical to examine adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) that have not been detected in clinical trials, to ascertain whether they are causally or coincidentally related to vaccination.
Erm yeah, that seems like quite a major thing that you haven’t been doing.
…there are currently no resources earmarked for postauthorization safety studies beyond annual appropriations, which must be approved by Congress each year.
But my doctor told me that vaccines were the safest drug available. How can he know that if no safety studies have been done?
To show how little we actually know about vaccine adverse reactions, Plotkin produces a table of some of the major historical ones.
