"October 18, 2019 (the same date of the contrived Event 201, sponsored by the World Economic Forum, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and John Hopkins University, that predicted the Covid-19 pandemic.

The CDC (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) was born, just like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), as an important regulatory agency of the United States government.
The intent of the legislation that authorized both watchdog groups was to regulate various corrupt and monopoly-seeking for-profit healthcare-related industries
that could harm the health of the populace that are otherwise powerless to protect themselves from the dangerous practices of powerful healthcare-related industries.
Tragically, over the past few generations (most significantly starting with the presidency of the pro-Big Business, pro-Big Pharma Ronald Reagan),
both the CDC and the FDA have been seriously co-opted by the Big Pharma Corporations,
their Big Bank lenders and investors
and the ubiquitous corporate lobbying groups that propagandize our legislators in DC.
Simultaneously, the CDC and FDA have abandoned their original mission of protecting the people from the inevitable adverse consequences of pharmaceutical greed
and the toxic and often addictive products that they manufacture and profitably market,
which results in the production of even more polluting by-products that then additionally sicken the victims who took the drugs or vaccines in the first place.
The multimillionaire owners, investors, lobbying groups and think tanks of corporate America have become grotesquely wealthy – and powerful –
because of their investments in the multitude of highly profitable anti-democratic (non-elected) entities that over-charge for the drugs and vaccines.
The toxic adverse side effects include adverse drug-drug and vaccine-vaccine interactions, which are actually iatrogenic disorders (= doctor- or drug-caused).
The control that those corporate entities have acquired is easily seen in the day-to-day activities of America’s corporate-infiltrated White House, Congress and Supreme Court,
each of which is doing the biding of whatever entities are currently profiting from Wall Street’s and War Street’s often secret agendas.
There should be no surprise as to why many governmental entities, many of our regulatory agencies, Big Pharma, Big Vaccine, Wall Street, etc have lost credibility with awakened citizens.
But in this column, I have focused on the CDC, which buys and sells 4 billion dollars-worth of vaccines every year from their cronies in the Big Vaccine corporations.
The CDC also, it must be pointed out, owns 56 vaccine-related patents that are projected to make the CDC’s elites a lot of money in the future,
much of which will be used for the lavish bonuses for the higher-ups. And the FDA is not much cleaner.
Conflicts of interest are everywhere.
The CDC is no longer an un-biased entity that protects the citizenry from sociopathic corporations.
As a matter of fact, the CDC actually acts just like a corporation.
A good example is the annual push by the CDC to get everybody in American to get their flu shots despite the powerful (and censored-out) evidence that influenza vaccines can be seriously harmful while offering little or no benefit.
What follows is a critique of what has become an institution in corporate-controlled America:
The unconscious acceptance of annual flu shots.
Definitions:
Vaccine Efficacy (VE) is the percentage reduction of disease outcomes in a vaccinated group of people compared to an unvaccinated group, using the most favorable conditions.
It is best measured using double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trials, which are rarely done.
A VE of 60% means that a vaccinated group of people has a 60% Relative Risk Reduction ... of a given outcome compared to an unvaccinated group.
Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) is a deceptive statistic that is commonly-used by Big Pharma and the CDC
to over-estimate the reduction in risk or outcome for a treatment group when compared to an untreated control group (ideally a placebo-controlled group).
RRR is commonly a gross exaggeration of the actual effectiveness of a drug or vaccine and is therefore favored by entities that want to promote a drug or vaccine by exaggerating its efficacy.
The more useful Absolute Risk Reduction statistic is essentially never used in medical journal reporting,
perhaps because it more accurately describes the weaknesses, adverse effects, risks and failures of any treatment modality.
Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) signifies the absolute or actual difference in the reduction in risk between an untreated group and a group of treated individuals.
The importance in being able to understand the difference between RRR and ARR is well illustrated in the Merck Fosamax Fraud case described further below.
The Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNV) is the number of individuals that must be vaccinated for an expected benefit to be attained in one individual.
... The Number Needed to Treat (NNT) is the number of individuals that must be treated with a drug, vaccine or surgery that results in a measurable benefit to one individual.
It is the inverse of ARR.
The larger the NNV (or NNT) is, the more useless is the treatment.
Examples of NNV and NNT Statistics
A Cochrane Review publication from 2018, states: 71 healthy adults would have to be vaccinated with a flu shot to prevent one case of influenza.
(NNV = 71)
Another example of NNV comes from a Pediatrics journal article from 2007:
“Between 4255 and 6897 children ages 24–59 months of age would have to be vaccinated for influenza to prevent one hospitalization.”
(NNV = A number between 4255 and 6807)
“6000 to 32,000 hospital workers would need to be vaccinated with the flu shot before a single patient death would be averted.”
(NNV = A number between 6,000 and 32,000 for hospital healthcare workers to prevent one patient from dying because of influenza contagion from an un-vaccinated worker).
“33,784 – 38,610 infants would need to be vaccinated with the Group B meningococcal vaccine in order to prevent one case of invasive Group B meningococcal disease.”
(NNV for Group B Meningococcal Vaccine = >33,000)
And from a 2007 UCLA publication: 231 adults 70 years of age or older would have to be vaccinated for shingles to prevent 1 case of Herpes Zoster.”
(NNV = 231)
“The NNV for Prevnar-13 to prevent one case of invasive pneumonia in low-risk asthmatic adults is estimated to be as high as 1059.”
(NNV = 1059 for Prevnar-13 to prevent one case of invasive pneumonia).
“Assuming that Gardasil procures lifelong protection and that its vaccine efficacy is 95% (both irrationally over-optimistic assumptions!), and if vaccine protection is assumed to wane at 3% per year (also an over-optimistic assumption),
the predicted NNV would increase to 9,080.
In other words, one would have to vaccinate and give booster Gardasil shots regularly to 9,080 girls to prevent one case of cervical cancer).”
– One of the conclusions of a Canadian Medical Association Journal article (3 of the authors actually had financial conflicts of interest with Gardasil’s maker, Merck & Co. From here.
Common experience will understand that “The NNT for treating penicillin-sensitive streptococcal pharyngitis with penicillin is 1, and the NNT for any treatment that only cures half of the patients is 2.”
A Cochrane Review from 2011 states: “104 patients would have to take a statin drug for 5 years to prevent one heart attack.”
(NNT = 104)
“To spare one person a heart attack, 100 people had to take Lipitor for more than three years, and for every 10 patients taking a statin drug for 5 years, one of them will develop statin-induced myonecrosis.”
(NNT = 100 for Lipitor to prevent one heart attack after taking the drug continuously for > 3 years.
(Number Needed to Harm [NNH] = 10, for patients who take a statin for 5 years.)
“There are only 30 to 40 cervical cancer cases per year per one million women between the ages of 9 and 26.
Therefore, you would have to vaccinate (with Gardasil) one million girls to prevent cervical cancer in 4 to 5 girls;
and since only 1/3 of women who develop cervical cancer actually die from the disease, you would have to vaccinate one million girls to prevent 1 to 2 deaths per year – at the “bargain-basement price” of $360 million per year.” – Dr Joseph Mercola
“I predict that Merck’s Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all time because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine, technical and scientific feat that it may be,
has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profits for the manufacturers.
Gardasil is useless and dangerous, and it costs a fortune!”
— Dr Bernard Dalbergue (former Merck employee)
