Data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 13, 2021, a total of 595,622 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 13,068 deaths — an increase of 702 over the previous week.
There were 81,050 reports of serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 10,945 compared with the previous week.
Excluding “foreign reports” filed in VAERS, 464,769 adverse events, including 6,018 deaths and 37,806 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. Of the 6,018 U.S. deaths reported as of Aug. 13, 13% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 19% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 33% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.
In the U.S., 354.5 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of Aug. 13. This includes: 141 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine, 199 million doses of Pfizer and 14 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID vaccine.
The data come directly from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
Paul Plante says
That answer is quite simple – nobody really knows!
Sorin Varzaru says
From the CDC website. “Healthcare providers are required to report to VAERS the following adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination [under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)], and other adverse events if later revised by CDC:
Vaccine administration errors, whether or not associated with an adverse event (AE)
Serious AEs “regardless of causality”
The last bit is important and most people miss it. The reports in VAERS do not require or imply causation.
Note: Media and most medical journals/ three-letter agencies: You see what they want you to see. You don’t see what they don’t want you to see. They convince you to see what they want you to see regardless of what you are seeing.

Kathy Glaser says
The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), founded under the name Dissatisfied Parents Together (DPT) in 1982, is an American 501(c)(3)[1] organization that has been widely criticized as a leading source of fearmongering and misinformation about vaccines.[2][3][4] While NVIC describes itself as the “oldest and largest consumer led organization advocating for the institution of vaccine safety and informed consent protections”,[5] it promotes false and misleading information including the discredited claim that vaccines cause autism,[6][7][8] and its campaigns portray vaccination as risky, encouraging people to consider “alternatives.”[9]
Like other anti-vaccination groups, NVIC has been investing heavily into its social media presence in the 2010s. In addition to developing their own social media channels, the organization pushes anti-vaccination messages to online gatherings of young parents, anti-GMO activists and wellness enthusiasts.[10] However, due the group’s decision to stick to Facebook as their main social media channel, they experienced only a small growth of their social media base, while other anti-vaccination groups such as Children’s Health Defense saw their impact increase considerably on systems such as Instagram during the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] In April, 2020, the organization was identified as one of the greatest disseminators COVID-19 misinformation on Facebook.[12]
Despite its name, the National Vaccine Information Center bears no relation to the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, an advisory body of the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Since 2003, the NVIC maintains a website named Medalerts.org which republishes the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System data without its appropriate warnings, which has lead to misleading attributions of deaths to the Covid-19 vaccines.[1.

All well and good and highly informative if one is interested in that subject, but what exactly does any of that have to do with these COVID vaccines, which despite any U.S. government approvals, are experimental?
Publius Americanus says
Yes, Kathy trust ONLY the Government, and remember to take your Thalidomide during pregnancy.
So go on, take the Tuskegee Two shot. GOVERNMENT wouldn’t ever lie to you.
Stuart Bell says
These sheep would drink a shot of dog urine if the CDC told them it would help with the Chinese Flu. The dog worshipers would most likely enjoy it. A 70lb dog puts out 137 gallons of urine a year.
Sorin Varzaru says
I’m curious about something.
Trump, de santis, all former us presidents, all top officials from all the countries on the planet, all scientists that worked on covid vaccines all over the world say they are vaccinated.
Do you think they are all lying to make you take the vaccine, like a global conspiracy of sorts?
Or do you think you understand the science better then all of them and think you will be proven right eventually?
Note: The final variant is called one-world government.
Paul Plante says
Proven right?
About what, Sorin?
What on earth are you asking him, or anyone else for that matter?
And science is taught to children in America now beginning in pre-school.
You don’t need a Ph.D. to comprehend science, or it couldn’t be taught in grade school or high school.
The immune system functioning is eighth grade health and the study of viruses in tenth grade biology.
And we are back to the fact that there is more than a whiff of panic coming from the Biden-istas and CULT OF JOE because these vaccines they have been touting as a miracle cure for COVID are failing to do the job:
Press Briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials
AUGUST 18, 2021
SURGEON GENERAL MURTHY: Well, thanks, Jeff.
And, Lev, good to hear your question.
I appreciate it.
Look, I do not accept the idea that we have to choose between America and the world.
We clearly see our responsibility to both, and that we’ve got to do everything we can to protect people here at home while recognizing that clamping down the epidemic — the pandemic across the world and getting people vaccinated is going to be key to preventing the rise of future variants.
We know that.
We see that clearly.
And we believe we have to work on both fronts, as we have been.
But, Lev, when we see data that is giving us, essentially, indications that protection is starting to diminish — in terms of mild to moderate disease — when we recognize that if this trajectory continues, that people who are well protected today may see more vulnerability in the future, we have to act.
The science tells us that, our clinical judgment tells us that, and that was the collective decision of the top public health and medical experts in this administration.

The “science” says the vaccines are not the miracle cure the Biden administration is stating they are.
Do you dispute the science of the Biden-appointed surgeon general of the mighty United States of America?
Sorin Varzaru says
“The “science” says the vaccines are not the miracle cure the Biden administration is stating they are.”
I don’t know who told you vaccines are a miracle cure. Anyone with even a fraction of a functioning brain would’ve been able to understand their capabilities and limitations.
Being 16 times less likely to be hospitalized for covid is a pretty good result though.
Paul Plante says
Where on earth did you get that statistic from, Sorin?
That is hyped-up political propaganda, not science, and not established fact, because there is no possible way to prove that statement true.
Paul Plante says
And Sorin, if in fact anyone with even a fraction of a functioning brain, which I must presume if a reference to yourself, would’ve been able to understand the capabilities and limitations of these vaccines, why haven’t you reported on these limitations before this?
And since you are a person with at least a fraction of a functioning brain, please tell us about those limitations so that those of us who are incapable of understanding the “science” because we are not medical doctors or infectious disease specialists can finally know for certain what it is we are confronted with here, given the whiffs of panic coming off the Biden-istas and the CULT OF JOE.
Paul Plante says
Talk about ducking a question and not giving a direct answer, some political bull crap instead known as the old shuck-and-jive, which we are just plain sick of hearing now, and which is why so many people do not trust these Biden-istas and their “science”:
Press Briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials
AUGUST 18, 2021
MODERATOR: Jeremy Diamond.
CNN.
Q Hey there.
Thanks for taking my question.
First of all, why did you guys decide not to limit this to older and more at-risk Americans, and simply say that “all vaccinated people will need a booster shot after eight months”?
And secondly, you say in the statement that the protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death could diminish.
How certain are you about that?
And are you saying over time that you do not believe these vaccines will continue to be highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death?
Thanks.
MR. ZIENTS: Let’s start with you, Dr. Murthy.
SURGEON GENERAL MURTHY: Well, thanks, Jeremy, for that question.
Look, first, I would say that when we look at the data, we see a reduction in protection against mild to moderate disease across age groups, and that was an important part of why we made this recommendation for all adults.
We want to protect all adults in our country from the worst effects of COVID-19.
But our plan does prioritize the most vulnerable.
If you look at how we began vaccinating people, Jeremy, over the — at the beginning of the vaccination effort, we prioritized healthcare workers, long-term care facility residents, and the elderly.
And those are exactly the same populations that we will be starting with.
So, we do prioritize the most vulnerable, and we think that’s going to be essential, you know, in our goal to ultimately to protect the country and save the most lives.
Paul Plante says
Evasive mealy-mouth political horse crap is not “science” and why can’t we ever get a straight answer from any of these Biden-istas:
MR. ZIENTS: Next question.
MODERATOR: Alice Park at Time.
Q And secondly, for Dr. Fauci, can you tell us — you focused a lot on the data looking at antibody responses to vaccines.
Can you tell us what we’ve learned about the T cell response and what role that plays in any decision to recommend boosters — or, you know, continue to recommend boosters in the next year or even years to come?
DR. FAUCI: Yeah, thank you for that question, Alice.
There — no doubt T cells will play a role — very likely — in not preventing initial infection, but in the progression of disease in the — in the situation that T cells usually do in eliminating or blocking against infected cells.
The issue is that they are not as easy, at all, to measure in the standpoint of large volumes of cohorts, and we will continue to study the T cell response.
end quotes
That is an answer an idiot would give to a moron.
Does the Fabulous Fauci even know what a T-cell is?
Doesn’t sound like it to me, anyway, at least according to a Medscape article entitled “As Vaccines Wane, Immune System Still Has Weapons Against Delta” by Damian McNamara on August 16, 2021, as follows:
Neutralizing antibodies induced by COVID-19 vaccination circulate in the body, recognize and bind to the virus, and thereby prevent it from entering cells and replicating.
“That is arguably why we have cell immunity,” Sette said.
However, once the virus enters a cell, it is no longer accessible to the antibodies, explained Sette, who is a professor at the Center for Autoimmunity and Inflammation and Center for Infectious Disease and Vaccine Research, La Jolla Institute for Immunology in California.
Enter the T Cells and B Cells
“The immune system really works in concert against invaders,” and it is like bringing in the army, navy, and air force at the same time to fight a war, Sette said.
There are two types of T cells.
Helper T cells recognize infected cells and stimulate B cells to make antibodies to fight it.
Killer T cells, which as the name suggests, recognize and eliminate infected cells.
“T cells in particular have the capacity, not so much to prevent the infection, but to modulate or terminate the infection,” Sette explained.
Whereas antibodies recognize the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, T cells spot fragments of the virus left on the cell surface after a virus replicates inside.
Although antibodies can lose some ability to neutralize a variant, “what we and other labs have shown is the T cell response remains unaffected,” Sette said.
Therefore, even if the virus gets past the vaccine antibody line of defense and enters cells, T cells can still attack.
“This is exactly what we are seeing,” Sette added.
“Obviously, this is good news.”
Paul Plante says
And speaking of the political bull crap we are being fed by the Biden-istas and the CULT OF JOE, who are there to protect Joe, not the truth, not the facts, and not the American people, about COVID, let’s again go back just a little more than a year to August 31, 2020 and the Joe Biden Pittsburgh Speech, where we have this spew of poisonous rhetoric from Joe Biden which underlies all the horse crap his team of “experts” are feeding us today about these vaccines, to wit:
Joe Biden: When I think of the presidency, I don’t think about myself.
It isn’t about my brand.
It’s about you, the American people.
We can do better and we have to do better.
I promise you this.
We will do better.
The road back begins now in this campaign.
You know me, you know my heart, you know my story, my family story.
Ask yourself, do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters?
I want a safe America, safe from COVID, safe from crime and looting, safe from racially motivated violence, safe from bad cops.
Let me be crystal clear, safe from four more years of Donald Trump.
Having failed to protect this nation from the virus that has killed more than 180,000 Americans so far, Trump posts an all caps tweet, screaming, “Law and order,” to save his campaign.
The simple truth is Donald Trump failed to protect America.
So now he’s trying to scare America.
Since Donald Trump and Mike Prince can’t run on their record that has seen more American death to a virus, this virus, then the nation suffered in every war since Korea combined, since they can’t run on their economy that has seen more people lose their jobs than any time since the Great Depression, since they can’t run on a simple proposition of sending our children safely back to school, since they have no agenda or vision for a second term, Trump and Pence are running on this.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI
“What COVID-19 Does to Your Body”
Phase One: Contact
As of now, we know COVID-19 is spread through water droplets expelled from the nose or mouth.
If an infected person sneezes or coughs, another person can catch the virus by either directly inhaling the droplets or by touching a surface where the droplets landed and later touching their eyes, mouth or nose.
Phase Two: Upper Respiratory Tract
Once the virus enters the body, it begins to invade the cells that line the nasal cavity and throat.
For a vast majority of COVID-19 cases, this is where the virus remains.
As the virus starts to take over and damage healthy cells, symptoms can start to appear in the form of a headache, sore throat or cough.
At this point, your body will recognize something abnormal is happening and trigger a generic immune response to create a “hostile environment,” which can cause you to develop a fever.
Over time, the immune system learns more about the virus and adapts by creating specific antibodies to counteract it.
This phase lasts about 5-7 days, and for many people, the COVID-19 infection ends here.
Paul Plante says
And while we are dealing with all of the political horse crap from the Biden-istas and the CULT OF JOE that swirls around these COVID vaccines, while a year ago, on August 31, 2020, Joe Biden was spewing his poisonous rhetoric, telling us “Having failed to protect this nation from the virus that has killed more than 180,000 Americans so far, Trump posts an all caps tweet, screaming, “Law and order,” to save his campaign,” seventy-three (73) days later, we had the Fabulous Fauci, who may be losing his mind like Joe Biden, as we shall soon enough see, putting the lie to what Joe was selling the American people on August 31, 2020 in an AFP article posted on FRANCE 24 entitled “Fauci says Biden ‘attuned to science,’ credits Trump for vaccines” issued on 11/12/2020, where we had the facts from Tony that put the lie to Joe’s poisonous spew, to wit:
The widely respected physician and scientist, who has been named as Biden’s chief medical advisor on Covid-19, also praised the work of the Trump administration in delivering on its vaccine promises.
The 79-year-old praised “Operation Warp Speed,” the more than $11 billion US program for expedited Covid vaccine and treatment development.
“Operation Warp Speed has been very successful,” he said, “and I’m certain that we will continue the pathway of Operation Warp Speed.
“I think, in credit to what has gone on in the current administration, I think that is a quite successful endeavor.”
“I mean, to come up with a vaccine that is ready for distribution in less than a year, from the time the virus was identified is really an unprecedented speed.”

Press Briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials
AUGUST 18, 2021
MR. ZIENTS: Next question, please.
MODERATOR: Weijia, at CBS.
Q Hi, thanks so much for taking my question.
If — it sounds like effectiveness begins to wane sooner than eight months.
And please correct me if I’m wrong.
So, if the supply is not an issue, can you walk us through the science of how you landed on eight months, please?
Thanks.
MR. ZIENTS: Why don’t we start with you, Dr. Murthy?
DR. MURTHY: Sure.
So, thank you, Weijia, for that — for that question.
So, let me talk you through how we were looking at this.
We did see that around the six-month mark in the data, you start to see increases in mild-to-moderate infection.
But our anticipation is that if the trajectory that we are seeing continues, then we will likely see, in the future, an increase in breakthrough hospitalizations and breakthrough deaths.
And that’s why we used our judgement, Weijia, to see when to make a determination of what that point may be, and that’s how we came to the eight-month mark.
I want to be clear, though, there is — there’s nothing magical about this number.
Could it have been one week earlier, one week later?
This is where judgment comes in, and it’s why we’ve put so much time and thought into this decision, and why we pulled the best public health and medical minds from together around the department to look at the data and discuss it a number of times, and then, ultimately, to come to that determination.
And last thing, let me just say this, Weijia: We have said, over the last several months, that we are looking at the data closely and, when we see a signal, that we will let the public know and tell them what our plan is.
And that’s exactly what we’re doing today.
We put the best minds together in the administration, and we looked at the best data that we had.
We saw a signal, and now we’re sharing our assessment with the public with a plan for how to make sure that the protection people still have today from the vaccine will continue in the future.

Claim
Employees at the White House, CDC, FDA, WHO, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson are not currently required to be vaccinated for COVID-
True
Context
As of August 2021, employees of the White House, CDC, FDA, WHO, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson, were not required to be vaccinated for COVID-19. However, some of these places required regular testing and various precautions for people who did not wish to be vaccinated. Also, both Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have set a deadline of early October for all workers to be vaccinated, unless they have a specific exemption.

Paul Plante says
And those same people are being reinfected, YAWN!
And their supposed immunity is nosediving, at least according to the Fabulous Fauci in the Press Briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials on August 18, 2021, to wit:
DR. FAUCI: Thank you very much, Dr. Walensky.
First, antibody levels decline over time.
Second, higher levels of antibody are associated with higher levels of efficacy of the vaccine.
Third, higher levels of antibody may be required to protect against the problematic Delta variant.
So, let’s take the first concept: that antibody levels decline over time — in this case, following two mRNA immunizations.
And that’s regardless of the variant.
So, if you look at the horizontal axis, at day 29 is when you get your second shot.
You can see the level of antibodies go up at 43 days.
But look what happens at 119 and 209 days: Regardless of the variant involved, the antibody levels against those variants decline over time.
end quotes
And no sooner was Tony telling us to get the booster at eight months, Joe Biden, himself panicked, was cutting it back to five months.
So does anyone really know anything about these vaccines?
And that answer is no, because this is a science experiment and everyone who gets the shot is a lab rat.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — It’s the argument that some have used to not get vaccinated.
“I’ve had COVID – therefore I don’t need to get the vaccine.”
Luz Pena: “Is it dependent on the level of virus they were infected with?”
Dr. Timothy Henrich, UCSF Professor of Medicine in Residence: “It seems to be and we don’t know exactly how protected or how long the protection from natural infection will last.”
“Both antibody responses and cellular immune responses or for example T-cells that recognize SARS-CoV-2 infection can persist for months.”
“Eight to 12 months after natural infection and most likely after vaccination.”
“What we don’t fully understand is how protected those immune responses are longer term overtime,” said Dr. Henrich.

New Zealand woman dies after receiving Pfizer vaccine
30 August 2021
New Zealand has reported what it believes to be its first death linked to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
An independent vaccine safety monitoring board said the woman’s death was “probably” due to myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.
It also noted there were other medical issues which could have “influenced the outcome following vaccination”.
European regulators say myocarditis is a “very rare” side effect and that the vaccine’s benefits outweigh the risks.
The official cause of death has not yet been determined.
However, the Covid-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board said the myocarditis was “probably due to vaccination”.

“The benefits of vaccination with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine continue to greatly outweigh the risk of both COVID-19 infection and vaccine side effects, including myocarditis,” Pfizer said.

Joe Biden: We need justice in America.
We need safety in America.
We’re facing multiple crises.
Crises that under Donald Trump have kept multiplying.
COVID, economic devastation, unwarranted police violence, [inaudible] white nationalists, a reckoning on race, declining faith in the birth of the right American future.
There’s no reason why we can’t just do so much more than we’re doing.
The common threat, the incumbent president who makes things worse, not better, an incumbent president who sows chaos rather than providing order.

Fools…
Paul Plante says
And here we come to a critical question in this discussion, that being whether Tony Fauci is losing his mind and going bonkers like his boss, Joe Biden, so that he and Joe occupy some private LA-LA LAND of their own in a different universe that that in which the rest of us reside, a private LA-LA LAND where they can reminisce about things that never happened as though they did; or is Tony, like Joe Biden, simply a prevaricator (a person who speaks falsely; liar. a person who speaks so as to avoid the precise truth; quibbler; equivocator) who makes things up to aggrandize (enhance the reputation of himself beyond what is justified by the facts) himself, knowing full well that as America’s darling of the moment, as we see in a Marketwatch article entitled “5 reasons Gov. Cuomo and Dr. Fauci are America’s de facto leaders during the coronavirus pandemic” by Virginia K. Smith on March 30, 2020, he will never be challenged by the main-stream media that dotes on him and hangs on his every word as the gospel truth, to wit:
Throughout the month of March, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has held near-daily news conferences updating New Yorkers with dire statistics on ventilators and hospital beds.
In response, #PresidentCuomo has trended on Twitter, and the governor’s updates are repeatedly hailed as “comforting,” even by users who don’t live in New York.
Meanwhile, a Twitter user in Rochester, New York, recently posted a photo of doughnuts decorated with photos of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who earlier in the day made what would otherwise be an improbable appearance in an Instagram Live Q&A with Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry.
For Americans gripped with fear and confusion over the rapid spread of the coronavirus, Cuomo and Fauci have emerged as unexpected emotional life rafts.
For many, they’ve also become primary sources of information on the pandemic — a recent poll from Business Insider listed both men as the most trusted leaders in the U.S. when it comes to the coronavirus response.
Here’s how a previously little-known infectious disease expert and a state governor who’d spent the past year battling plummeting approval ratings wound up as many Americans’ de facto leaders in the face of an unprecedented threat.
They state facts clearly.
The coronavirus has been plagued by the spread of false or confusing information — much of it coming from the White House and President Trump himself.
end quotes
So, keeping with the timeline, which is very important in this discussion, on March 30, 2020, one hundred fifty-four (154) days before Democrat presidential contender Joe Biden trashed then-president Donald Trump for failing to protect the nation from COVID, and two hundred twenty-seven (227) days before the Fabulous Fauci came out in an AFP article entitled “Fauci says Biden ‘attuned to science,’ credits Trump for vaccines” issued on 11/12/2020,
we had Tony being praised by the media as being an emotional life raft for Americans gripped with fear and confusion over the rapid spread of the coronavirus because he states facts clearly.
So, a quiz here: given that on March 30, 2020, Tony Fauci was being praised by the media for stating facts clearly, while in the same article Trump was being condemned for spreading false or confusing information, was the same Tony Fauci stating the facts two hundred twenty-seven (227) later, on 11/12/2020, when the widely respected physician and scientist, who has been named as Biden’s chief medical advisor on Covid-19 praised the work of the Trump administration in delivering on its vaccine promises?
When the Fabulous Fauci was saying on 11/12/2020 that ““I think, in credit to what has gone on in the current administration, I think that is a quite successful endeavor,” and “I mean, to come up with a vaccine that is ready for distribution in less than a year, from the time the virus was identified is really an unprecedented speed,” was he stating facts?
Or was he simply mouthing political horse crap?”
And if in fact he was stating facts in giving praise to Trump on 11/12/2020, then how do we account for his bizarre statements one hundred thirty-seven (137) days later, after Joe Biden was in the white house, in an article in the Independent entitled “Dr Fauci says it was him and not Trump who pioneered historic vaccine project – Dr Fauci said decision ‘to go all out and develop vaccine may have been best decision that I’ve ever made’” by Gustaf Kilander, Washington, DC on 29 March 2021, where we have the Fabulous Fauci on the record seemingly contradicting himself with regard to his earlier statements praising Trump while Trump was still in office, to wit:
Dr Anthony Fauci has said that it was him who decided it was time to develop a vaccine against Covid-19, something former President Donald Trump has long said was his doing along with the “Operation Warp Speed” vaccine project.
end quotes
So now that Tony was a member of the Biden administration, did Jen Psaki come along and give Tony the sharp side of her tongue, as the wags up this way are speculating happened, telling him that if he wanted to be considered a team player in the Biden administration, he had to lose the pro-Trump narrative, and instead, bash Trump like Joe Biden was doing?
Or has the dude simply become senile due to his advanced age, so that in his mind, that really happened, even though as we will see, it really didn’t happen at all, which means if Tony has not lost his mind, then he is a liar, which takes us back to that story, to wit:
Dr Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the chief medical advisor to president Biden, told CNN in a special report broadcast on Sunday: “When I saw what happened in New York City, almost over-running of our healthcare systems… that’s when it became very clear that the decision we made on January 10 to go all out and develop a vaccine may have been the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to intervention as the director of the institute.”
HUH?
And how come this is the first time we are hearing about that?
How come we didn’t hear about that one hundred thirty-seven (137) days earlier, on 11/12/2020, when the Fauci narrative was very pro-Trump without a word being said about how it was Tony himself who had the great idea?
Getting back to that story:
Trump advisor Jason Miller tweeted in response: “If it were up to Fauci we still wouldn’t have a Covid vaccine.”
Operation Warp Speed was a collaboration between public and private entities to develop and test vaccines as quickly as possible.
While Dr Fauci was one of the top members in Mr Trump’s Coronavirus taskforce, he’s not reported to have had any formal role in the project, The Daily Mail writes.
end quotes
So it would appear as if the Daily Mail is outright calling Fauci a liar while telling us, as the media in this country should if they weren’t so craven, that Fauci is full of ****, which takes us back to that story once again, as follows:
Operation Warp Speed worked separately from the taskforce and Dr Fauci has not previously been reported as a key figure in the development of the vaccines.
The Director of the National Institutes of Health Dr Francis Collins has previously said that the Trump administration deserves credit for the fast development of vaccines.
He told Axios in February: “It’s just breathtaking that that got done in 11 months from when we first knew about this virus.”
“It is at least five years faster than it has ever been done before.”
He added: “Operation Warp Speed, for which I give a great deal of credit to [former Health Secretary Alex Azar], was an effort that many of us were not initially convinced was going to be necessary.”
“And it was thought about as a Manhattan Project.”
The Manhattan Project was a secret US government project to develop a nuclear bomb during World War II.
Dr Collins said: “Those words were used sometimes to describe what needed to happen in order to get all parts of the government together in an unprecedented way to test up to six vaccines in rigorous trials… so that if any of those trials happen to work, you would already have doses ready to go into arms.”
“That effort and the recruitment of Dr Moncef Slaoui [Head of Operation Warp Speed from 2020 to 2021] was an incredibly important step forward that the administration deserves credit for because that did motivate a lot of actions, a lot of coordination.”

So what is the verdict here, people – you have to be the judge, afterall, since it is your life and well-being at stake here – is Tony Fauci gone senile and has he lost his mind like Joe Biden is losing his?
Or is Tony Fauci simply another liar in a political city full of liars?
Paul Plante says
And as we consider what appear to be quite bizarre statements by Biden-ista Tony Fauci in the Independent article entitled “Dr Fauci says it was him and not Trump who pioneered historic vaccine project – Dr Fauci said decision ‘to go all out and develop vaccine may have been best decision that I’ve ever made’” by Gustaf Kilander, Washington, DC on 29 March 2021, where we were informed that Dr Anthony Fauci has said that it was him who decided it was time to develop a vaccine against Covid-19, something former President Donald Trump has long said was his doing along with the “Operation Warp Speed” vaccine project, with Tony being quoted as saying “When I saw what happened in New York City, almost over-running of our healthcare systems… that’s when it became very clear that the decision we made on January 10 to go all out and develop a vaccine may have been the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to intervention as the director of the institute,” let’s go back to the timeline, which is very important in this discussion, because the more we discuss this subject of how Dangerous are Covid Vaccines, the very first notice we had in this country of COVID was a CDC Advisory, as follows:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is an official CDC Health Advisory
Distributed via the CDC Health Alert Network
January 8, 2020, 1615 ET (04:15 PM ET)
CDCHAN-00424
Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring a reported cluster of pneumonia of unknown etiology (PUE) with possible epidemiologic links to a large wholesale fish and live animal market in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.
An outbreak investigation by local officials is ongoing in China; the World Health Organization (WHO) is the lead international public health agency.
Currently, there are no known U.S. cases nor have cases been reported in countries other than China.
CDC has established an Incident Management Structure to optimize domestic and international coordination if additional public health actions are required.
This HAN Advisory informs state and local health departments and health care providers about this outbreak and requests that health care providers ask patients with severe respiratory disease about travel history to Wuhan City.
Wuhan City is a major transportation hub about 700 miles south of Beijing with a population of more than 11 million people.
Background
According to a report from the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, as of January 5, 2020, the national authorities in China have reported 59 patients with PUE to WHO.
The patients had symptom onset dates from December 12 through December 29, 2019.
Patients involved in the cluster reportedly have had fever, dyspnea, and bilateral lung infiltrates on chest radiograph.
Of the 59 cases, seven are critically ill, and the remaining patients are in stable condition.
No deaths have been reported and no health care providers have been reported to be ill.
The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission has not reported human-to-human transmission.
Reports indicate that some of the patients were vendors at the Wuhan South China Seafood City (South China Seafood Wholesale Market) where, in addition to seafood, chickens, bats, marmots, and other wild animals are sold, suggesting a possible zoonotic origin to the outbreak.
The market has been closed for cleaning and disinfection.
Local authorities have reported negative laboratory test results for seasonal influenza, avian influenza, adenovirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV), and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) among patients associated with this cluster.
Additional laboratory testing is ongoing to determine the source of the outbreak.
Health authorities are monitoring more than 150 contacts of patients for illness.
CDC has issued a level 1 travel notice (“practice usual precautions”) for this destination. (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/wa … onia-china).
This message was distributed to state and local health officers, state and local epidemiologists, state and local laboratory directors, public information officers, HAN coordinators, and clinician organizations.

Now, note the date: January 8, 2020.
Prior to that date, we in this country had no knowledge of COVID.
Then note the date of May 15, 2020, one hundred twenty-eight (128) days later, which is the date operation Warp Speed began.
So when Tony Fauci was quoted in the Independent on 29 March 2021 as saying “When I saw what happened in New York City, almost over-running of our healthcare systems… that’s when it became very clear that the decision we made on January 10 to go all out and develop a vaccine may have been the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to intervention as the director of the institute,” what is he talking about?
Does he mean January 10, 2020, only two days after the 8 January 2020 CDC Alert which stated “Currently, there are no known U.S. cases nor have cases been reported in countries other than China.”
But that can’t be, since as we see in a Rensselaer County, State of New York press release entitled 3/2/20 – Rensselaer County Officials Working with State and Federal Officials on Coronavirus Issue, COVID was deemed by the CDC to not be a problem, to wit:
Rensselaer County Officials Working with State and Federal Officials on Coronavirus Issue
With confirmed cases of coronavirus in the nation and the state, Rensselaer County health officials took part in calls with the Centers for Disease Control and the New York State Department of Health regarding the issue.
At this time, there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in the county.
Federal and state health officials have termed the spread of the illness nationally and in the state as “isolated” cases.
“We want residents to know that our team at the Health Department is monitoring this situation closely and working with state and federal officials to share information and get updates.”
“However, there is no need for undue concern or worry,” said County Executive Steve McLaughlin.
“We have been informed that New York State remains at a low risk for coronavirus.”
“While we are at a low risk, residents are advised to take simple but effective steps to reduce exposure to all communicable diseases,” said Public Health Director Maryfran Wachunas.

So what is going on here, people?
Is Tony Fauci a senile head case like Joe Biden?
Or is Tony Fauci simply another liar in a political city full of liars?
