The prestigious American Journal of Epidemiology kindly published a response from me, entitled “Critical analyses concerning COVID-19 vaccines need to be consistently critical and informed”, on what seem to be double standards concerning a recent article on the “need to be critical of the claims made by both COVID-19 vaccine proponents and critics”.
People should be going to jail not asking if they would consider our argument. Until we shove the crime they committed down their throats, they will do it again.
They forced people to have to make a choice between work and supporting their families or get injected with an experimental drug.
They lied and claimed that herd immunity would be reached with the injection, knowing it has never been done.
They lied that for the first time in history a corona virus could be stopped with an injection.
They lied and told scared parents to inject their kids or they could die.
Pfizer may have immunity from civil suits but not criminal ones that need to be done. Same for the people that funded the lab
And in the end I mock my doctor friends to this day about the Amish control groups that proved, everything they said and done was crap. Masks, social distancing, shut downs and injections all did not work and the ones that keep talking about it should lose their medical licenses.
Raphael, I've read a bit about what happened to you and I hope you are recovering from the entirely unnecessary injury inflicted on you by your employer as a result of their unreasonable management action, taken in an unreasonable manner. Please take them to the cleaners.
I have a question. I'm a bit concerned about the unchallenged claims I frequently see about the shots providing protection against severe illness and death. Have you seen this paper I've cited below by Peter McCullough and colleagues? You can access the PDF from the site at the link. Do you think the argument and conclusions, with respect to boosters, are reasonable? I do.

The Efficacy of COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters against Severe Illness and Deaths: Scientific Fact
Generally yes, I have stated this in various ways. My stuff on negative effectiveness, and my insistence that the myocarditis risk alone probably wipes out any 'benefit' of the jabs in the young and healthy at least. I've even shown that Pfizer kind of admits they don't know the benefits outweigh the risks as they don't know the extent of the CV risk. All this is easily overlooked, however, as I have a very small audience.
Thank you. I hope you are able to get a much bigger audience. I have been extremely suspicious of the purported efficacy against severe covid, hospitalization and death, ever since the narrative changed from "prevents infection and transmission" to this fall back position.
I can see how the elevated myocarditis risk alone would wipe out the benefit, if any, in the young and healthy. I can't see how there would be any benefit at all in the elderly, due to immunosenescence.
I have sort of a rule and so do most courts. If you lie to me about almost everything, if you by chance say the truth, I am not checking your answers anymore. They are liars and kept changing their answer and are still tryiing to gas light us. Stuff the stupid in their face when they say that shit.
"I have been extremely suspicious of the purported efficacy against severe covid, hospitalization and death"
Berson was right then... he is still right. It is gaslighting. If it was true that the disease was so deadly everybody needed to take the vaccine or die it would have been very easy to prove. The only thing they can point to is the original trial patients were younger. They didn't have elderly in the study.
Wow, the comments. It looks like this guy got under a lot of people's skin. Maybe because you thought he'd be more of a middle of the ground type actual scholar but ended up just shilling for Big Pharma? Anyway, make sure to let him know exactly how you feel, politely, because you know he'll be here reading every comment. And Kirsch apparently texted this to him. Hi Jeff, and thanks for being a good sport!
Stay STRONG outliers. The criminal-liars (crimes of omission and commission) are starting to crack.
Stay STRONG for the deceased, for the injured (current and pending). We the People, around the world need courageous, ethical, superbly educated-qualified CHAMPIONS.
"Despite Morris stating that we should be looking at the clinical trials and observational studies critically..."
If he'd followed his own advice during 2020, he could have helped prevent the "excess deaths" of these people in Ireland (and multiples of others around the world):
I don't think Ireland changed theirs, no. In any case, those figures from Ireland are independently added up using published Death Notices. Official UK deaths are already back above their artificially increased expectations - they're going to need a bigger algorithm!
Official excess of births over deaths in Northern Ireland (ie. UK statistics) each year from 2015 to 2024 were: 8667, 8646, 7039, 6907, 6689, 3201, 4483, 3678, 2708, 1366. This depopulation is caused both by increasing deaths, and also decreasing "live" births.
I would not call this “double standards” anymore. It clearly is fraud. The so called Covid “vaccines” are a disaster. There is zero benefit, but plenty of harm. The vendors knew that in advance, and most likely the public servants, too. The WHO protocol to not give antibiotics for pneumonia was murder from the WHO criminals and at least negligent homicide from the doctors following this protocol, because it is common sense to fight secondary infections wherever pneumonia is diagnosed. What was the treatment with experimental gene therapies when the harm was not only foreseeable but also foreseen?
There must indeed come a point where we can no longer chalk it up to mistake after mistake after mistake - the same mistakes done all over the world at the same time. Especially if the mistakes happen to enrich the global elite. At some point we must be allowed to wonder if it was by design.
As far as I am concerned, it WAS by design, if you read Dr. Peter Breggin’s book, written with his wife, award winning journalist Ginger Breggin, with introductions by Dr. Peter McCullough, M.D., MPH, Dr. Elizabeth Vliet, M.D., and Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko, M.D., which was published around October of 2021, one would definitely conclude it was “by design,” planned. Dr. Zelenko, who was bravely on the “front lines” of wanting to get the truth out, back then, has since passed away, as he lost his battle with Cancer. In any event, over time, I have bought 8 copies of their book, “Covid-19 And The Global Predators: We Are The Prey,” giving 3 copies to medical professionals that I deal with, 4 other copies to family and friends, and keeping one for myself, of course. This book goes into GREAT detail, of how these apparent crimes were planned for several years. I have not seen another book like it, as it goes into distinct, chronological detail of how this was planned. I want to know where Congress is on this, and the past, as well as, the current administration. Considering the present administration, this IS the “elephant in the room” for me. (I am neither Democrat or Republican)
We definitely need to continue warning our families and others, now about this bird flu vaccine, as the vaccine regulatory agencies are all broken down and basically the agencies have removed traffic lights, stop signs and speed limits for their products. If we were on a highway driving a car in this situation, we would warn others about how dangerous it is to drive, that there are a lot of wicked people on the road with no care about safety or your life, the police are not allowed to arrest anybody, and there is a need to take special precautions. We need to do the same with what is happening in the "vaccine" industry because the regulatory agencies have thrown out safety and efficacy as an issue and no one can arrest them for what they are doing--it is a dangerous highway that can take your life or result in terrible health problems. Thanks to Dr. McCullough and The Wellness Company and various other physicians and healthcare workers for warning us.
Wasn't gonna say nothin' but look at the people that gave money to his employer. Looks like they have partaken of that Bill Gates money. And lo, though it smelleth rotten it tasteth so sweet! https://www.med.upenn.edu/donorrecognition/donor-walls.html
It would be enough to expose his posts on his blog if someone has the time and desire. There is enough material there about what he believes in. The financial issues are just the icing on the cake
The harm done by these journals and so-called experts to the American Medical Establishment has reached to point of no return and to the point that people don't know the difference between good and bad and see all mainstream doctors and hospitals as suspect until proven otherwise. Until "justice" is served, and truth sees the light of day nothing will change minds.
Mr "the protocol was fine" Morris who belives in 95%.... oh no, thank you. I remember reading his articles 3-4 years ago on his blog. His answers and comments are even better or worse.
Where is the scholarly curiosity, huh? We just don't care that they didn't actually demonstrate a death benefit? As if that isn't the ultimate goal, to save lives? Scholars these days!
These people come in varying degrees of “amplification of Pharma lies,” so that the consumer has a choice. Morrison presents as Medium, whereas Offitt would be Large, and Hotez XXL.
You've framed it very nicely, and that may explain all this ill will toward him. I guess people feel like he really should have been more 'medium' and scholarly but maybe leaning towards the pro-jab side, like me but the other way, but despite all his bluster he just reiterates Big Pharma's narrative and doesn't really critique their claims as I do.
Great article, Raphael! You are doing beautiful work, please keep it coming.
One thought here: I live on a fixed retirement income (US Social Security). I can't afford to subscribe to every writer who's work I love, but I could occasionally send a small donation. Please see if you can enable your Substack to receive one time donations. I'd be delighted to contribute when I can.
Thank you. Not necessary, I'd only ever want people to become paid subscribers if they can really afford it. Not in it for the money. If I were I'd be taking Big Pharma's money to parrot the mainstream narratives like our buddy Morris here!
Triple standard as all vaccines, mRNA poisons and drugs are always deemed to be safe and effective right off the drawing board. It's up to the injured and the murdered to prove otherwise because not one soul in the government gives a rat's butt since they all get payoffs and perks. How many doctors preform express informed consent for all the drugs they dispense? How many even know what the inserts say?
Anybody seen otherwise? Have the 1986 vaccines laws ever been discussed for repealing? Statin trials ever done by independent testing? Cancer drug trials never manipulated? Many thousands have to be murdered before anyone considers lifting a finger except in the case of mRNA poisons where millions have been murdered and it still continues over 4 years later...NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

2020 = 1732

https://irelandexcessdeaths.com/excessdeaths
There were 18050 officially registered deaths in Northern Ireland during 2024. The last time that was exceeded was 1941.
The UK changed the excess death algorithm (think in '22 or '23) to wipe out tens of thousands of excess deaths. Did Ireland do the same?
I don't think Ireland changed theirs, no. In any case, those figures from Ireland are independently added up using published Death Notices. Official UK deaths are already back above their artificially increased expectations - they're going to need a bigger algorithm!

I am a C19 vaccine skeptic. Vax free. Firm believer in McCullough's early treatment protocols. Ivermectin is my hero.
Thank you for not complying!
