Now the New York Times has run an article headlined: ‘Thousands Believe Covid Vaccines Harmed Them. Is anyone listening?’ It was written by Apoorva Mandavilli, a reporter specialising in science and global health. She spent more than a year interviewing experts in vaccine science, policymakers and people who said they had experienced serious side-effects after the jab.
The article demonstrates how injured patients, including vaccine experts themselves, were denied help by federal health officials who kept insisting – against a tide of scientific and medical evidence – that the jabs are ‘safe and effective’.
It quotes Dr Janet Woodcock, a respected US Food and Drug Administration commissioner, now retired, as acknowledging that some vaccinees experienced uncommon but ‘life-changing’ reactions beyond those described by federal agencies. ‘I feel bad for those people,’ she said.
The Daily Mail picked up on the report, and last week told the story of how bereaved UK families have felt treated as ‘collateral damage’ in the vaccine rollout.
Mandavilli’s account still contains a genuflection at the altar of vaccine effectiveness. ‘The covid vaccines, a triumph of science and public health, are estimated to have prevented millions of hospitalisations and deaths,’ she writes. The NYT, previously a champion of the ‘misinformation’ claims, probably would not have published the article without such a declaration of faith.
Yet according to a fresh analysis by the former BlackRock Wall Street executive Ed Dowd, far from saving millions, the jabs may have cost hundreds of thousands of lives in the US alone.
