Dr. Fauci Comes Clean on Vaccines and Respiratory Viruses

 

• Struggling with the dogma

• The real value of the paper is in the way it contrasts Covid dogma against evidence. More strangely, the authors claim: “…the rapid development and deployment of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines has saved innumerable lives and helped to achieve early partial pandemic control.” That the vaccines appear to have saved too many lives for the authors to contemplate is surprising. Dr. Fauci felt able to contemplate numbers of deaths during the first year of the Covid outbreak when the virus hit a population said to have no prior immunity. It is therefore more plausible that the vaccines averted relatively few deaths. Such a lack of impact is fully in line with the expectations of the authors noted above. Putting dogma up against evidence is really hard when you have staked your reputation on the dogma, so the struggle apparent here is understandable.

• “Attempting to control mucosal respiratory viruses with systemically administered non-replicating vaccines has thus far been largely unsuccessful.” ~ Dr A Fauci (former director of NIAID), 2023, commenting on vaccines for Covid-19.

• The authors of this paper are not developing new hypotheses to explain why Covid vaccine performance was disappointing. They are simply restating previous knowledge. Predictions of high and sustained vaccine efficacy, and vaccination paving the ‘way out of the pandemic,’ were not expected to come true. People with reasonable knowledge of the subject knew the rhetoric to be incorrect, though relatively few said so. Natural immunity was always going to be more effective than vaccines, and statements to the contrary such as the John Snow Memorandum promoted by the Lancet contradicted expert understanding and common sense. This is justified, and can be argued to be a good thing.
