Covid mRNA Vaccines Are Unregulated Military Countermeasures

mRNA Vaccines DID NOT UNDERGO a legally regulated drug approval or manufacturing process

It is important to recognize that an EUA is not part of the development pathway; it is an entirely separate entity that is used only during emergency situations and is not part of the drug approval process. (2009 Institute of Medicine of the National Academies publication, p. 28)

All mRNA products on the market and in development today became available as a result of the declared Covid pandemic, through legal pathways intended for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) emergencies – in other words, war or terror incidents involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

These WMD-related laws include Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and blanket legal indemnity granted through the PREP Act.

The manufacturing agreements for the Covid mRNA vaccines were military Other Transaction Agreements (OTA) signed by the Pentagon. This type of “other than contract” agreement is intended to supply the military with cutting-edge technology while bypassing pesky regulations and red tape. It is not intended for civilian use.

RFK Jr: “We were lied to about everything”

In a Twitter (now X) thread, Children’s Health Defense picked out some highlights of ‘The President’s 2026 Health Care Agenda’ hearing held on 4 September 2024.  We have republished the thread below. 

You can watch the full Senate hearing on YouTube HERE and read the written statement submitted by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. HERE.

RFK Jr.’s Senate testimony just broke the Internet: “We were lied to about everything.”

By Children’s Health Defense

Kennedy spent three hours exposing the truth about vaccines and autism, the CDC’s cover-up of vaccine injuries and why Trump just fired corrupt CDC leadership.  And he named names – he called out corrupt Senators to their faces for taking Pharma money.

First, RFK Jr. broke down the truth about Pharma’s covid-19 cover-up: “We were lied to about everything.”

Democrats accused him of “politicising” HHS – but he exposed that everything about Pharma’s covid narrative was a lie.

“The whole process was politicised.”

“We were lied to about natural immunity.”

“We were told again and again the vaccines would prevent transmission, they’d prevent infection.”

“It wasn’t true.”

“Probably the most famous scientist on ACIP was Martin Kulldorff from Harvard … and he criticised the covid booster mandates.”

“President Biden came in, he mandated it, and then he fired the two top health officials at FDA, Dr. Gruber and Dr. Krause,” for their refusal to bow to Covid orthodoxy.

Then, RFK Jr. held Senator Michael Bennet accountable for refusing to acknowledge covid-19 vaccine injuries.

“Are you saying, Senator, that the mRNA vaccine has never been associated with myocarditis or pericarditis in teenagers?”

Sen. Bennet: “I am simply trying to say that the people that you have put on that panel, after firing the entire …”

RFK: “You’re evading the question.”

ICYMI: Video Of RFK Jr. Pile-Driving Bill Maher Over Vax on His Own Show – Left Audience Applauding for Kennedy

Sometimes, one needs reminding that the public debate over the efficacy of COVID vaccines has always pitted faith against reason.

No one, of course — certainly no one who reads The Western Journal — should denigrate faith in general. But the object matters. Faith in what exactly?

In April 2024 — four months before he allied with now-President Donald Trump — now-Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was running as an independent presidential candidate.

He appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” and delivered what any reasonable person would regard as a knockout blow to the host’s pro-vaccine argument.

Maher, however, would not concede defeat. After all, as a liberal, his faith in science — particularly COVID vaccine science — amounts to a kind of religion.

Clips of the exchange began circulating again this week on the social media platform X. It became even more relevant on Monday, when Trump used his social media platform Truth Social to demand that “Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs.”

Moreover, last week, the Trump administration fired Director Susan Monarez from the Centers for Disease Control. This prompted resignations from four other CDC officials.

In short, the debate over COVID vaccines has taken center stage once again. And this time, there isn’t a Biden administration around to censor it.

Thus, the Kennedy-Maher exchange reminds us of why this debate remains so maddening to skeptics of coronavirus vaccinations.

In a clip posted to YouTube, Maher began by asking about Kennedy’s vice-presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan. The host noted that Shanahan wanted to recall the Moderna vaccine, which Maher happened to have gotten.

Kennedy responded by citing polls on the subject.

“There’s 25 percent of Americans who believe that they know somebody who was killed by a COVID vaccine,” Kennedy stated.

“Killed?” Maher queried.

“Killed — 25 percent. Fifty-two percent of Americans believe the vaccines are causing injuries, including death,” Kennedy continued. If nothing else, that amounts to a significant public-perception problem for the drug companies.

Kennedy also mentioned clinical trial studies of the Pfizer vaccine.

“People who got the vaccine had a 23 percent higher death rate from all causes at the end of that study,” he said.

Then came the remarkable exchange that ignited huge applause.

“But that could not be the disease itself?” Maher asked.

“If it is, then the vaccine doesn’t work, does it?” Kennedy replied.

The laughter and applause from the crowd practically drowned out the host’s protests.

“Well, no, no that’s … not true at all,” Maher insisted, appearing annoyed at his own audience.

Gates-Funded Study Confirms 27% Higher Risk of Heart Injury in Influenza-Vaccinated Compared to Unvaccinated: ‘The Lancet’

A massive new study funded in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and published last week in The Lancet’s eClinicalMedicine provides evidence that seniors vaccinated for influenza experienced more heart injuries, not fewer.

The findings come after U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cut American funding to Bill Gates’ vaccine syndicate Gavi, citing a 2017 study showing the DTP shot “may kill more children from other causes than it saves” from diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis.

The new influenza vaccine study analyzed over 8.1 million Chinese adults aged 65 and older between 2020 and 2022.

Out of those, just 170,011 received an influenza vaccine, while more than 8 million remained unvaccinated.

Researchers then tracked the rate of major cardiovascular events in each group.

The Raw Data Tell the Story

The most striking finding comes from the crude numbers.

When researchers looked at acute coronary syndromes (ACS)—a category that includes heart attacks, unstable angina, and other sudden cardiac events—the results were blunt:

  • Vaccinated: 26.4 events per 1,000 person-years
  • Unvaccinated: 26.3 events per 1,000 person-years
  • Crude incidence rate ratio (IRR): 1.27 (95% CI: 1.24–1.31)

That figure means vaccinated seniors had a 27% higher risk of heart injury compared to the unvaccinated.

This is the kind of red-flag signal that would normally demand urgent investigation. Instead, the authors buried it under layers of statistical adjustments.

Post-COVID Canada shows excess deaths continue to surge

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) has released a meticulously sourced 54-page report titled “Post-COVID Canada: The Rise in Unexpected Deaths.”

This explosive document depicts Canada’s post-pandemic landscape where excess deaths have skyrocketed since the era of draconian lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine coercion. Yet, health bureaucrats and politicians remain eerily silent, content to pat themselves on the back while burying inconvenient data.

President of the JCCF, John Carpay, dissects this crisis and highlights how many continue to cling to a flawed narrative.

“Well, thus far we’re not really seeing much interest yet on the part of public health officials and politicians,” Carpay said. “They seem to be quite happy with the narrative that COVID was not just a bad annual flu, but it was an unusually deadly killer, and it killed lots of people, and now COVID is over. Lockdowns were wonderful. Vaccines are still safe and effective, and ‘nothing to see here, folks. Let’s just move on.’”

The report draws on official government data from Statistics Canada to reveal these shocking trends.

COVID deaths, for instance, actually increased post-vaccination instead of declining.

“In 2020, in the first year of COVID, we had about 16,000 COVID deaths in 2020, according to Statistics Canada,” Carpay explained. “And this jumped up to 20,000 COVID deaths in 2022, after everybody got vaccinated.”

This 20% spike raises glaring questions about vaccine efficacy, especially as mandates fueled division and discrimination.

Even more alarming is the surge in non-COVID deaths among younger demographics. “We also had a startling and unexplained rise in deaths from Canadians under the age of 45,” Carpay noted. “The death rates went up for Canadians under age 45, jumped by more than a third.” Tens of thousands more young Canadians perished in 2022 and 2023 compared to pre-COVID years. Drug overdoses soared by 55%, from 4,500 annual deaths pre-lockdown to nearly 7,000—a tragic escalation that persists to this day.

Children, too, have suffered inexplicably. “Those deaths have increased by 16%,” Carpay said of kids aged 1-14. “In 2022, there were just under 800 children ages one to 14 who died.” This permanent uptick cries out for scrutiny, potentially linked to lockdown-induced mental health crises, obesity, isolation, and novel pharmaceutical products never before unleashed on the general public.

Adding to the crisis, unknown causes now account for 15% of young Canadian deaths in 2022—astronomically high, with autopsies performed only 6% of the time.

Trump Says Youth Vaccine Mandate Rollback is a “Very Tough Position” – “They Just Pure and Simple Work… I Think Those Vaccines Should be Used”

President Trump on Friday expressed support for mandatory vaccines for school-aged children, amid Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.’s push to end unnecessary vaccination. 

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, where Democrats sought to grill him about his personnel and vaccine guidance shake-up at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Per the Hill, “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for those under 18. Kennedy, meanwhile, has fired all 17 sitting members of CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and also moved to oust the CDC head and other top HHS experts.”

During the Senate hearing, RFK revealed that in the early 2000s, a senior CDC scientist was ordered to destroy data from an internal study that showed a staggering link between the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and autism risk in young Black boys. The data showed that black boys, who got vaccinated before 24 months of age or 36 months of age, “had a 260% greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited,” RFK said.

This also comes after Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced earlier this week that the Florida Department of Health is planning to remove “every last” vaccine mandate from Florida law.

“All of them. Every last one of them,” Ladapo said to loud cheers and a standing ovation.

“Who am I, as the government, or anyone else, who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your child should put in their body? I don’t have that right.”

FDA Official Pressures YouTube Into Removing a Channel For Posting His Own Vaccine Comments

Last week, a top official with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) apparently filed a bogus copyright claim to get a critic’s YouTube account taken down. This is an inappropriate act of censorship that, not long ago, conservatives would rightly have stood against.

“Jonathan Howard, a neurologist and psychiatrist in New York City, received an email from YouTube on Friday night, which stated that Vinay Prasad, who is the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, had demanded the removal of six videos of himself from Howard’s YouTube channel,” The Guardian reported this week. “Howard’s entire channel has now been deleted by YouTube, which cited copyright infringement.”

On his channel, Howard hosted videos of public health officials—including Prasad, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya—making statements during the COVID-19 pandemic that turned out to be untrue or overly myopic. “I had accumulated about 350 videos, almost all of which were short clips of famous doctors saying absurd things,” Howard wrote in a blog post, “that herd immunity had arrived in the spring of 2021 and that RFK Jr. was an honest broker about vaccines, for example.” Howard is also critical of Prasad’s stance on vaccines, which Prasad now has the authority to regulate.

According to an email Howard posted, YouTube “terminated” his channel after “multiple copyright strikes” against his videos, and the “removal request” came from Prasad.

“Publishing someone else’s videos without modification or commentary is a clear copyright violation,” an FDA spokesperson told The Guardian. “The mission of Johnathan Howard was not medical transparency, but personal profit by grifting and stealing someone else’s intellectual property.”

“My YouTube channel had 256 subscribers and its videos were typically seen by dozens of people,” Howard wrote. “I never promoted the channel and made no money from it.” Besides, U.S. law allows for fair use of copyrighted material, which means someone can use protected content for purposes such as “criticism, comment, news reporting,” or “research” without the creator’s permission.

Howard is the author of the book We Want Them Infected, which criticized doctors and public health officials who advocated a herd immunity strategy for dealing with COVID-19. Howard says such warnings fed into anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. His YouTube channel collected videos of people who are now in charge of public health institutions, making what he feels were irresponsible claims during the pandemic.

But whether you agree with Howard or not, it is wrong and hypocritical for Prasad to silence his critics in this way.

UK’s Health Minister Stephen Kinnock claims vaccines are 100% safe. So, here’s my challenge to him

UK Health Minister Stephen Kinnock MP claims vaccines are 100% safe.  This claim has prompted a challenge from Dr. Vernon Coleman.

Dr. Coleman challenges Stephen Kinnock to a live, national television debate on the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, including the covid-19 vaccine.  “He can bring as many advisors as can be fitted into the studio.  And I will argue that he is wrong. Just by myself,” Dr. Colman says.

Britain’s Health Minister, Stephen Kinnock MP, has allegedly told the BBC that the Government was concerned about vaccine uptake and hesitancy, which he said had increased after the covid-19 “pandemic.” He said campaigns explaining “the benefit of getting vaccinated and the fact that this is 100% safe would be brought forward as the Government sought to win this battle against the conspiracy theorists.”

He said the Government was also committed to combating disinformation and conspiracy theories about vaccines on social media.

“It’s our job as the government, and everybody else out there that is on the side of common sense and reason, to make this case and to win this battle against the conspiracy theorists, and misinformers and disinformers out there who need to be dealt with and need to be silenced,” Kinnock added.

Did Kinnock really say that?

Now, I’ve been studying vaccines for over 50 years and my conclusion is that to say that any vaccine is 100% safe is like saying bombs never kill people or that no one has been killed in Gaza.

I suppose it all depends on how you define “safe” but I would argue that there isn’t a vaccine in the world which is 100% safe – though this isn’t the first time that such an absurd claim has been made on the BBC. (To be clear, my dictionary defines safe as “not likely to cause or lead to harm.”)

The big question is: “How does Mr Kinnock explain why governments around the world have paid out billions of dollars to families of vaccine-damaged patients?”

And why does his government pay out huge sums of money to those who have been damaged by vaccines if vaccines are 100% safe?

And what’s all this about “silencing” people?

Howard Dean: Vaccines Likely the ‘Wedge Issue that Begins to Literally Divide the United States’

Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean claimed on Thursday’s “The Beat” on MSNBC that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s stance on vaccines could be “the wedge issue that begins to literally divide the United States.”

Host Ari Melber said, “Is RFK Jr. fit for this job?”

Dean said, “No, but he never was fit for the job. He’s a crackpot. But here’s the interesting thing about this, I’ve been thinking about this during the day. This is possibly the wedge issue that begins to literally divide the United States as a result of his nuttiness, and as a result of the victims of his nuttiness, which are going to be children, lots of children. The states in the West Coast, Washington, Oregon and California have essentially put together their own CDC. I think New England is going to join them. Massachusetts has talked about it already. I wouldn’t be surprised if New York and some other places like Pennsylvania joined them. So you’re going to have essentially two authorities, the CDC, run by a crackpot, and then you’re going to have a lot of states ignoring the federal government and making their own rules about all this stuff. That is a big divide and is a big change in the way that government has been operating in the United States for the last hundred years.”

He added, “Here’s the other interesting thing about this. So yesterday, the surgeon general, backed up by the governor in Florida, said that they were going to get rid of all vaccine mandates. Now, would you take your children to Disney World if you thought they might be exposed to whooping cough? Even people who have been vaccinated can be be become troubled and can spread the disease if they’re in a huge tank of people who have no vaccination.”

RFK Jr. Says CDC Ordered Scientist to DESTROY Autism Data Linking Measles Vaccine to Black Children in 2002

During a stunning Senate hearing, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that in the early 2000s, a senior CDC scientist was ordered to destroy data from an internal study that showed a staggering link between the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and autism risk in young Black boys.

In 2004, a CDC-backed case-control study in Atlanta compared 624 children with autism to 1,824 without, assessing whether timing of MMR vaccination (before vs. after 18 or 24 months) was linked to autism risk. It found no significant association.

While the 2004 study did not find a causal link, a later re-analysis of the same data received significant attention.

A 2014 study published in Translational Neurodegeneration re-examined the CDC’s dataset and claimed to find an increased autism risk among African American boys who received the MMR vaccine before 36 months of age.

According to the 2014 study, “The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis.”

According to RFK Jr., the findings were explosive:

“The data from that study showed that black boys who got the vaccine on time had a 260% greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited,” Kennedy testified.

“The chief scientist on that, Dr. William Thompson, the Senior Vaccine Safety Scientist at CDC, was ordered to come into a room with four other co-authors by his boss, Frank DeStefano, who’s the head of the safety press, and ordered to destroy that data. Then they published it without that fact.”
