‘Fraud, Pure and Simple’: Merck Mumps Vaccine May Contain Up to 4 Times Approved Amount of Live Virus

Drug manufacturer Merck misrepresented the efficacy of its mumps vaccine for years, “overfilling” the vaccine with live mumps virus to meet efficacy targets despite the lack of safety testing — and the practice may be continuing today.

Merck appears to have concealed the practice from public health agencies, which have taken no action to stop it.

Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense, joined “The Defender In-Depth” this week to discuss the revelations, which stem from a lawsuit two Merck whistleblowers filed in 2010 under the False Claims Act.

The 3rd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia heard oral arguments in the case on July 9.

According to Hooker, the Merck measles, mumps rubella vaccine, MMR II — the only mumps vaccine licensed in the U.S. and listed on the childhood vaccine schedule for 12- to 18-month-olds — may contain up to 4 times the approved concentration of live mumps virus.

A two-part deposition by Dr. David Kessler, former head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), also indicates that Merck, rather than informing regulators that it was “overfilling” its MMR vaccine, relied on passive surveillance — reports from parents regarding vaccine reactions in their children — to identify possible safety signals.

U.S. Government ‘Saddled’ With COVID Vaccine Injury ‘Mess’ — While Vaccine Makers Avoid Liability

As early as January 2022, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers were aware of at least 850 peer-reviewed case reports and/or research articles about COVID-19 vaccine reactions, according to emails obtained by Children’s Health Defense (CHD).

In one email (name and agency redacted), NIH researchers were told the federal government was “saddled” with the “mess” of dealing with those injured by the COVID-19 vaccines, due to the liability shield enjoyed by vaccine manufacturers.

The emails, part of a 309-page batch of documents released to CHD on June 21, originated from a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) request to NIH researchers for input on a report highlighting several injuries common among people who received the vaccines.

CHD requested the documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the NIH in November 2022. When the NIH hadn’t responded by April 2023, CHD sued the agency.

In an October 2023 settlement, the NIH agreed to produce up to 7,500 pages of documents at a rate of 300 pages per month.

The batch of documents released in June — which include emails to Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research — revealed that by fall 2021, key NIH researchers were aware of scientific studies on serious adverse events, including persistent neurological symptoms, following COVID-19 vaccines.

As with prior releases of the NIH documents, June’s tranche also included several emails from vaccine-injured individuals to NIH researchers, seeking help for their symptoms — with one person asking, “Why aren’t you studying vaccine injuries?”

Update on Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Vaccination

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) is a complex immunological phenomenon where virus-specific antibodies, rather than neutralizing the virus, enhance its entry into host cells and amplify its replication. ADE can occur in the context of natural infections and vaccinations, leading to heightened disease severity. This phenomenon has been observed in various viral infections, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), dengue, and HIV, and has been a subject of intense scrutiny in the context of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.

The historical context of ADE provides critical insights into its mechanisms and implications. One notable example is the RSV vaccine trials in the 1960s. Vaccinated children who later encountered natural RSV infection experienced more severe respiratory illness compared to unvaccinated children. This was attributed to ADE, where vaccine-induced antibodies facilitated enhanced viral entry and immune activation (Kim et al., 1969). Understanding the diverse mechanisms of ADE, its implications for vaccine development, and its potential occurrence in SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial. This comprehensive analysis aims to elucidate the different types of ADE, evidence of ADE in SARS-CoV-2, and the risks and proposed mitigation strategies associated with ADE in COVID-19 vaccines.

Longtime pro-jab apologist finally comes clean about lack of science proving vaccine safety

After decades of aggressively promoting vaccines of all kinds, Dr. Stanley Plotkin, the world’s leading vaccinologist, is finally coming clean about the fact that vaccine safety has never been robustly studied as he has long claimed.

A paper he co-authored that was published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on July 6, 2024, reveals that no vaccine has ever been properly studied either before or after their release.

Aaron Siri tweeted a lengthy post about Plotkin’s new paper in the NEJM, which admits that “prelicensure clinical trials have limited sample sizes [and] follow-up durations,” as well as that “there are not resources earmarked for postauthorization safety studies.”

“That is an incredible reversal,” Siri said before unpacking the rest of the study’s damning revelations basically indicting the vaccine industry and Big Pharma for science fraud.

“For decades, the medical community insisted vaccines are the most thoroughly studied product ever; for example, Dr. Paul Offit said, ‘I think we should be proud of vaccines as arguably the safest, best tested things we put in our body,'” Siri further explained.

“For decades, parents of vaccine injured children, vaccine injured adults, and other stakeholders contested these claims only to be shunned and attacked by the medical community and health agencies.”

(Related: At the 2020 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [ACIP] meeting, Plotkin, often referred to as ‘the godfather of vaccines,’ promoted Donald Trump’s COVID injections before they were even released under Operation Warp Speed.)

‘Highly Confidential’: Former FDA Chief Details Fraud in Merck’s Testing, Marketing of Mumps Vaccine

For decades, Merck misrepresented the efficacy of its mumps vaccine, marketing an “adulterated” drug without proven efficacy to millions of American children, according to a recently released expert report by Dr. David Kessler, former head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The report — posted in two documents and marked “highly confidential,” for “attorneys’ eyes only” — provides over 800 pages of Kessler’s opinion and analysis about the history and severity of Merck’s regulatory violations over decades, beginning in the late 1990s.

By 1998, regulatory labeling review had revealed that the mumps component of Merck’s measles, mumps rubella vaccine, MMRII, did not maintain the stated potency over its shelf-life, in violation of FDA regulations.

Rather than recalling the vaccine or attempting to develop a different formula, the company spent years trying to develop new and more sensitive ways to test the existing vaccine that would show high efficacy results, so it would still be in compliance with regulatory requirements and allow Merck to maintain its exclusive license.

Merck did this even though its existing data showed the vaccine was significantly less effective than claimed, Kessler wrote.

To temporarily make the drug meet Merck’s efficacy claims while the company developed tests, Merck increased the dosage of virus present in the vaccine — with the FDA’s knowledge — although the higher dosage was never tested in clinical trials for either safety or efficacy.

The company did not inform the vaccine recipients, providers or purchasers — including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which purchased the drug through its Vaccines for Children Program — that its vaccine was out of compliance.

Merck’s actions, Kessler wrote, had important “public health significance.”

According to the report, starting in 2006 and recurring since then, there has been a resurgence of mumps outbreaks in the U.S. The largest outbreak in 2017 affected more than 10,000 people in 46 states.

The vast majority of the people infected in all of the outbreaks received the recommended two-dose regime of Merck’s MMR vaccine, the report says.

Sixfold Increased Risk of Colon Cancer in Covid-Vaccinated — Study

A study published in June documented how one form of colon cancer saw a sixfold increase in individuals vaccinated with the Covid injection. The researchers explained the link between the shot and the cancer.

“Microsatellite instable (deficient mismatch repair, dMMR) colon cancer is associated with hypermutability and immune infiltration-activation. COVID-19 vaccines stimulate immune-inflammation response,” the study said in the ‘Introduction’ section.

A medical doctor broke down the findings on social media.

“Pfizer vaccination conferred sixfold increased risk,” Dr. Peter McCullough said regarding the study’s findings.

The researchers discussed how the Covid injection affects the immune system in a way that is linked to the onset of this type of colon cancer.

“Immune infiltration in dMMR colon cancer may interact with COVID-19 vaccine-induced immune activation,” the study said in the ‘Conclusion’ section.

The researchers compared the vaccinated and non-vaccinated cancer patients.

“The study was a single-center case-control study. Patients diagnosed with colon cancer at least three months after the last COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2, CoronaVac) dose were included. Patients with dMMR and microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors were defined as cases and controls, respectively, between June 2021 and June 2023,” the study said in the ‘Methods’ section. “Baseline characteristics and vaccine status between case-control groups were compared as univariable and multivariable. Inflammation markers were compared between MSS+CoronaVac and dMMR+BNT162b2 groups.”

After analyzing the study, Dr. McCullough discussed its findings on his Substack.

After decades of gaslighting the public, a new study admits that vaccine safety studies are not conducted before or after use on the public

Wow. After decades of Dr. Stanley Plotkin and his vaccinologist disciples insisting vaccines are the most well-studied products on the planet, they just penned an article admitting precisely the opposite.

They just admitted vaccines are not properly studied – neither pre-licensure nor post-licensure. They admitted, for example, “prelicensure clinical trials have limited sample sizes [and] follow-up durations” and that “there are not resources earmarked for post-authorisation safety studies.”

That is an incredible reversal. But let me provide context so nobody is fooled by what they are clearly up to.

For decades, the medical community insisted vaccines are the most thoroughly studied product ever; for example, Dr. Paul Offit said, “I think we should be proud of vaccines as arguably the safest, best-tested things we put in our body.”

For decades, parents of vaccine-injured children, vaccine-injured adults, and other stakeholders contested these claims only to be shunned and attacked by the medical community and health agencies.

In 2018, I had the unprecedented opportunity to depose the architect of our vaccination programme and the Godfather of Vaccinology, Dr. Plotkin, and lay bare the evidence that showed what these authors are now finally admitting about the utter lack of vaccine safety trials and studies. See ‘The Deposition Of Stanley Plotkin’.

After this deposition is made public, Dr. Plotkin goes on a tirade, making demands that FDA add “missing information on safety and efficacy” in vaccine package inserts and that CDC excludes harms from its vaccine information sheets, “lobbying the Gates Foundation to support pro-vaccine organisations,” working to have WHO list vaccine hesitancy as a global threat, lobbying AAP, IDSA and PIDS to “support training of witnesses” to support vaccine safety, etc. See ‘Dr. Stanley Plotkin, The “Godfather Of Vaccines,” Reaction To Being Questioned’.

The problem is, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work because, at the bottom, there are no proper safety studies. So, there is no safety data to add to the FDA package inserts, and hiding harms by removing them from CDC inserts doesn’t make them go away. Parents and other adults don’t simply stop believing what they have seen with their own eyes because the CDC, WHO, the Gates Foundation, etc., won’t acknowledge them, or worse, they attack them.

Former CDC Director Says FDA Underreported Adverse Vax Side Effects To Prevent Vaccine Hesitancy

Dr. Robert Redfield, the former director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Thursday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pushed a false “safe and effective” COVID vaccine narrative by underreporting adverse events. The mRNA shots “never should have been mandated,” Redfield told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday.

The Democrat-controlled Senate oversight hearing entitled “Risky Research: Oversight of U.S. Taxpayer Funded High-Risk Virus Research,” included witnesses  Dr. Gerald Parker, Dr. Carrie Wolinetz, Dr. Kevin Esvelt, and Redfield.

Former President Trump’s CDC director accused the Biden government of suppressing data about vaccine injuries in an effort to prevent vaccine hesitancy.

“There was not appropriate transparency from the beginning about the potential side effects of these vaccines, and I do think there were inappropriate decisions by some to try to underreport any side effects because they argued that would make the public less likely to get vaccinated” Redfield testified.

Redfield said the biggest mistake of all was the Biden regime’s decision to mandate the mRNA products.

“They never should have been mandated,” he said. “It should have been open to personal choice. They don’t prevent infection, they do have side effects.”

A growing number of doctors and scientists now say that the cost to society and the cost to the individual taking the COVID injection far outweighed any of the proposed benefits.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pointed out that Biden regime officials like Dr.  Peter Marks, head of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, continue to deny that the injections are dangerous.

“They’re saying they [vaccine side effects] are rare and they’re mild,” Johnson said.

“The FDA should release all of the safety data they have,” Redfield replied. “I was very disappointed to hear that they’re planning to hold on to that [safety data] until 2026,” he continued. “That really creates a sense of a total lack of trust in our public health agencies toward vaccination. It’s counterproductive,” he added.

Johnson lamented that he has been unable to get Rep. Gary Peters (D-Wis.), the chairman of the the Senate Homeland Security Committee, to issue any subpoenas to the relevant health agencies to obtain the safety data.

“I would suggest you do that,” the Republican told Peters.

The Century of Forgotten Vaccine Hot Lot Disasters

•Producing a vaccine has many opportunities for error or contamination. Because of this, disasters continually occur from “hot vaccine lots” being unleashed onto the public. Remarkably, as the years have gone by, there has been less and less accountability for this (e.g., previously public investigations were held and people went to jail whereas now government tends to keep the hot lots on the market and deny there is a problem).

•In 1967, an eminent bacteriologist wrote a book detailing many forgotten vaccine disasters under the belief (he shared with many of his anonymous colleagues) that unless his profession was honest about the dangers of vaccination, the mistakes which led to those disasters would keep on repeating.

•Many of the disasters he detailed related to an excessively dangerous vaccine lot being released onto the market. Remarkably, many of the disasters he detailed mirrored what occurred in the decades that followed (e.g., this article discusses the documented DPT and anthrax hot lots which caused a tsunami of injuries in infants and veterans).

•One of the largest problems with the COVID-19 vaccines were the deadly hot lots that were released onto the market. In this article, I will cover everything we know about those lots and show their remarkable parallels to the century of hot lot disasters which preceded them.

During the COVID-19 rollout, patients gradually began to realize that some of the COVID-19 vaccines were more dangerous than others. Initially this was written off as a conspiracy theory. However, as time moved forward, and more evidence emerged to support the “hot lot” hypothesis there was an increasing acceptance of this theory.

At the time, the most common theory I heard raised to account for this was that a large global experiment was being done to assess the effects of various mRNA doses (e.g., one researcher was able to show that the hot lots of each COVID vaccine brand hit the market at different times in a manner that seemed to be coordinated between the manufacturers and that Pfizer’s lots contained a simple code that correlated to their toxicity).

Godfather of Vaccines, Stanley Plotkin, Admits They Have Never Been Properly Tested

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.
