Covid 19 Vaccination: Leading to a Global Viral-Immune-Escape Catastrophe?

 Letter to Editor of Focus Malaysia

A LEADING global environmental virologist and microbiologist for 30 years and involved in human vaccine development for 23 years with various major pharmaceutical firms, Dr Geert Vanden Bossche warns that the global vaccination programme amid the global pandemic does more harm than good.

Expressing genuine concerns if the vaccination was the right thing to do against this super smart mutating coronavirus, he stated: “If you go to war, make sure you have the right weapon at the right time against the enemy that you understand enough.”

He further warns that the vaccination:

• Creates more asymptomatic cases to spread the virus as the vaccines do not prevent infection and transmission;
• Merely suppresses COVID-19 symptoms and can prevent hospitalisation and deaths. But at what price?
• only stimulates artificially induced antigen-specific antibodies and not natural killer (NK) cells needed to neutralize the coronavirus effectively;
• Allows antigen-specific antibodies, which may not work on new variants, to remain permanently and compete with, undermine and even destroy capable and loyal warrior NK cells;
• Helps create new variants and “teaches” the virus on “viral immune escape”; and
• It is a “lose-lose” situation that is dangerous at all levels, emphasizing that dealing with the coronavirus and pandemic must be based on science.

In a nutshell, if we aren’t cautious, humanity – facing a “global catastrophe without equal” – will suffer exponentially by this “emperor” virus. 

In June 2020, Ken Frazier, CEO of Merck, implored the need to understand the coronavirus more before rushing for a quick solution via vaccines. (Merck is the gold standard for vaccine development and had produced four out of seven successful vaccines in world history)

Merck was honest enough to give up its COVID-19 vaccine development programme to this mutating “emperor” virus to focus on a treatment or cure.

The Director of US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in stating in a CNN report on March 2 that gains made in the US including the mRNA vaccination could be wiped out by new variants. This supports Dr Bossche’s warning.

The US Government National Institutes of Health (NIH) has confirmed that the mRNA vaccine is a form of gene therapy, an approach that can have “serious health risks, such as toxicity, inflammation and cancer.”

Already, there are many reported cases worldwide about unexplained deaths and suffering from severe side effects after taking the Pfizer product.

Being constructive and based on Dr Bossche’s revelatory warning, we appeal to the Government and its relevant agencies to:

• Urgently consider deferring, if necessary, the mRNA vaccination programme to truly curb long-term harm;
• Do an honest “benefits versus risks” analysis for every vaccine purchased based on the latest information (It is UNFAIR to lump these vaccines together as not all vaccines are equal. We are NOT anti-vaxxers but pro-SAFE vaccines);
• Keep its promise NOT to force – directly or indirectly – vaccination, especially with the experimental mRNA vaccine, which is a breach of the Nuremberg Code; and
• Consider (after a study) using more appropriate, much safer, and tried and tested vaccines such as using inactivated or attenuated virus technology while choosing the right timing to enforce the vaccination programme.

Therefore, we urge the Government to immediately approve Ivermectin, a repurposed” wonder drug” that’s easily available, very safe and effective in preventing and treating COVID-19 and also fund a low-cost Ivermectin Programme.

We are aware that Ivermectin poses a major financial threat to some big pharmaceutical firms and unfortunately. Ivermectin is being discredited and demonized by people with selfish interest, whose biased views must be seriously dismissed.

In fact, Ivermectin has already been proven to be safe for over 40 years. The Government has nothing to lose by immediately approving Ivermectin in Malaysia, as a prescribed drug. There is no need to wait for clinical trials as people are dying fast and getting infected from COVID-19.

We state clearly here that we do not have vested interest, directly or indirectly, in the manufacturing, selling or distribution of Ivermectin. – March 12, 2021

Boeing Corporation's Board of Directors and the Anticipation of Aviation Disasters

The English novelist and aviation engineer, Nevil Shute, wrote two books about air disasters. The first, his 1948 novel, No Highway, centered on the crash of a newly introduced British airliner, the Reindeer, a crash attributed to pilot error until an obscure aviation engineering researcher concluded, and ultimately proved, that structural failure due to metal fatigue was the cause. The story eerily foreshadowed two 1954 crashes of the deHavilland airliner named the Comet (after Santa's Reindeer?) due to structural failure.

Shute's second air disaster story comprised a major portion of his autobiography, Slide Rule, and concerned Britain's government-sponsored entry into airship aviation. Two ships were commissioned by the government, the R100 which was built by a subsidiary of the engineering firm Vickers-Armstrong, the other, the R101, constructed by the British Air Ministry. Shute, was the chief stress engineer and, in the final stages of construction, chief engineer, of the R100 project.

The R100 closely complied with the design specs and completed a successful round-trip flight from England to Canada in June, 1930. Shortly thereafter, the greatly overweight, Government-built R101 crashed and burned near Beauvais, France on the first night of its maiden voyage from England to India. The disaster led the Government to terminate the airships program and the successful, private-sector R100 was broken up.

Comparing the two programs, Shute concluded that the bureaucrats overseeing the Air Ministry program lacked the motivation necessary to make the tough decisions required to ensure that the R101 was developed and put into service in a prudent fashion. In contrast, Shute argued, a private company such as built the R100 has a board of directors who not only have a large financial stake in the viability of the business, but deep knowledge of the industry in which the business operates and hence the judgement necessary to ensure that the business is conducted in a prudent fashion.

But today, Shute's assumptions as to the competence and the financial commitment of the directors of a large company such as Boeing seem no longer valid. The only Boeing Board member with advanced engineering experience is Dennis A. Muilenburg, who has the titles of President, Chairman, and CEO. Muilenburg holds a BS in Aerospace Engineering and an MS in Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The rest of the talent appears to be in anything but aviation engineering:

Robert E. Bradway, BS Biol.;

D.L. Calhoun, BS Accounting;

A.D. Collins, Jr., who holds an MBA and is author of Childrens' book series: Adventures of Archibald and the Jackabeb;

K. Duberstein, Chief of Staff to President Reagan, graduate in Law;

Admiral E.P. Giambastiani, Jr., a graduate in Law, with good credentials in submarine handling;

 Lynn J. Good, a graduate in Systems Analysis and Accounting;

Larry Kellner, a former airline exec. with a degree in Accounting;

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK, former US ambassador, and a lawyer;

Ronald A. Williams, a management consultant;

Mike Zafirovski, a Jack Welch protegé at GE and a swimming scholar at Edinboro U, (discipline? swimming perhaps);

and last but by no means least, Nikki Hailey, currently a board member nominee, who's done just about everything, from being a US Congresswoman, (former) Canadian, state governor, and most recently, Trump's ambassador to the UN.

That's a team I'd trust to do a cover-up of the 737MAX's inherent instability and the inept effort to fix it.

But who want's to risk their life as a passenger on a plane built by those guys?
