LAST WEEK independent journalist Alex Berenson reported that a pre-school child died of ‘cardio-respiratory arrest’ after taking a dose of Moderna’s covid mRNA vaccine during its clinical trials. Despite federal requirements to report all trial information, the company withheld the truth for years as it raked in billions from its covid shots.
The extent of the cover-up remains unknown, but Moderna, headed by CEO Stéphane Bancel, disregarded federal law requiring companies to report ‘summary results information, including adverse event information, for specified clinical trials of drug products’ to ClinicalTrials.gov. The company, not the government, is responsible for posting all results, and failure to report the death of a child constitutes a clear breach of US law, which threatens civil action against any party that ‘falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact’.
Until now, pharmaceutical companies have remained largely immune for their role in perpetrating globally-scaled deception resulting in thousands of vaccine injuries and billions in profits. They have enjoyed a liability shield in the US courtesy of the PREP Act, which offers protections for injuries resulting from vaccines; that indemnity, however, does not extend to non-compliance with federal regulations, material misstatements or omissions of fact, or other offences.
The death of the child became known only because of an obscure European report released last year, which revealed that Moderna has known about the death for over two years while it continues to advertise covid shots to children as young as six months.
Moderna’s European filing also revealed that the company withheld trial results demonstrating that children under 12 who received the vaccine were ten times more likely than those who received the placebo to suffer ‘serious side effects’. Without any evidence, Moderna claimed that the side effects, including the death of a child, were unrelated to the shots.
The incoming Trump administration has the opportunity to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable and to investigate the depth of the cover-up.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for enforcing the reporting of vaccine trial results, but recent heads of the agency such as Scott Gottlieb and Robert Califf have been fanatical supporters of Big Pharma. Trump’s choice for the FDA, Dr Marty Makary, presents a stark contrast to his predecessors. Makary has criticised the US Government’s reluctance to acknowledge the role of natural immunity in preventing covid infection, and he opposed the widespread vaccination of children. He testified to Congress: ‘In the US we gave thousands of healthy kids myocarditis for no good reason, they were already immune. This was avoidable.’
President-elect Trump has tapped Robert F Kennedy Jr, perhaps the best-known critic of the covid vaccines, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the FDA. He has named Dr Jay Bhattacharya, a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, as his choice to head the National Institutes of Health. Further, Senator Ron Johnson told Berenson that he plans to subpoena the FDA once Republicans become the majority party in the Senate this month.
President Trump’s first term was ultimately defined by his failure to fulfil his pledge to ‘drain the swamp’. A corrupt bureaucracy, personified in many ways by Dr Anthony Fauci, aided and abetted by advisers such as Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, hijacked the president’s agenda. Now, the Trump administration has an unlikely yet monumental opportunity for health reform, which can start on January 20 with an investigation into Moderna’s cover-up.
The covid response doomed Trump 1.0. Whether one regards this as a monumental error, the betrayal of a president by his advisers, an event beyond the president’s control, or a deeper and more complex plot involving everything and everyone associated with the government, both in the US and around the world, there is no question of the scale of the calamity for the public. The shots are part of that, the capstone failure of a long line of foreshadowing with lockdowns and all that was associated with pre-pharmaceutical interventions. The antidote came not as a cure but, for many, the disease itself.
There must be truth if not justice.
