Journal Rejects Request to Retract Study Suggesting Negative COVID Vaccine Effectiveness
A scientific journal is rejecting a request to retract a study that found people who received a COVID-19 booster were more likely to become infected when compared to unvaccinated people.
Analyzing numbers from California's prison system, a research group found that those who received one of the bivalent boosters had a higher infection rate than people who have never received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Their study was published by the journal Cureus following peer review.
Each study has an author who fields questions and comments. They are known as the corresponding author.
Cureus confirmed that the study's corresponding author has asked the journal to retract the article.
"I can confirm that we were contacted by the corresponding author with a request to retract. However, we have determined that there is no basis for retraction and therefore it will remain published," Graham Parker-Finger, director of publishing and customer success for Cureus, told The Epoch Times via email.
Dr. Peter McCullough is the most, if not one of the most important doctors in the long, difficult pandemic pushback effort. His extended chain of impeccable credentials — many now stripped away — and his clear, credible, precise, and persuasive speaking style make him an extremely effective advocate for early covid treatment and against the jabs.Peter is a hero in the full modern sense of the word. He has freely sacrificed much for many, for millions of people he does not even know.
The doc gave a terrific speech last week, and it’s well worth a watch if you have 17 minutes or so. Otherwise, I’ve transcribed a bunch of it, so you can read instead of watching, or watch and skip the transcription, or watch and read. You get the idea.
Dr. McCullough's Speech at the European Parliament on Rumble (17:35).
On Wednesday, Dr. McCullough appeared as a on of nine panelists in a European Union Parliament breakout session on the W.H.O., the pandemic, and the vaccines. In his segment, Dr. McCullough named names, called out individuals like Jerome Powell and Peter Daszak, and encouraged the EU to completely withdraw from the W.H.O., persuasively arguing the international health agency is a sold-out co-conspirator in a harmful bio-pharmaceutical syndicate.
As usual, Dr. McCullough did not mince words. Here’s just a tiny sample of how he characterized the WHO:
The longest section of his presentation was about the vaccines. But it was worth it, since Dr. McCullough summarized everything we know for sure — what we can prove — about the horrible jabs and their devastating injuries. First, McCullough described the single biggest problem with the mRNA shot — it’s made of a toxic protein that never goes away:
Next, McCullough organized officially-verified vaccine injuries into four groups, or “domains”: cardiovascular, neurologic, blood clots, and immunologic problems. His list is understandably incomplete. I completely understand why McCullough omitted other emerging domains such as turbo-cancers. The link between turbo cancer and the jabs is not yet sufficiently proven in the literature or recognized by regulatory agencies, and the credibility that has propelled McCullough to speaking at the EU lies in his careful, scientific precision.
Let’s dig in. Here’s Dr. McCullough’s description of the first group of jab injuries: heart attacks.
Next, Dr. McCullough turned to brain damage:
Next, Dr. McCullough described group three: the nightmarish, tapeworm-sized types of blood clots that doctors have never squished into before:
Finally, Dr. McCullough described the fourth domain of recognized injury: wrecked immune systems:
Let’s pause for a minute to celebrate. Look how far we’ve come in a relatively short period of time. A year ago, there was only one domain of injury the regulatory agencies grudgingly recognized (myocarditis). Now there are four. Next, think about the fact that, at this point, McCullough was presenting at the EU. And nobody is presenting on how successful the shots have been (except possibly at financial conferences, but that’s not what I mean).
We are winning the mind war.
Back to McCullough. Having laid out all these potential types of injuries, and knowing most of his audience was probably jabbed, Dr. McCullough then addressed the elephant in the room: Who’s next?
Before I get to the good news, the final bit that I transcribed for you was Dr. McCullough’s warning to the ministers not to believe the latest fake narrative that “long covid” is causing the excess deaths:
At the very end of his segment, right before calling for the covid vaccines to be pulled from the market, and after all that bad news, Dr. McCullough offered something hopeful. He said the studies are showing that somewhere between 4% and 7% of the jab batches account for almost all officially-recognized jab injuries. So, with regard to the recognized domains of injury, there’s a good chance that any particular person got a safe batch with no reported injuries at all (about a third) or even more likely, a batch with only very rare injuries (all the rest).
We are grateful to Dr. McCullough and all the selfless and heroic work he’s done over the last few years.

Canadian public-interest research group Correlation published a new study yesterday titled, “COVID-19 vaccine-associated mortality in the Southern Hemisphere.”
The researchers analyzed publicly-available all-cause mortality data from 17 countries in the Southern Hemisphere, statistically comparing those figures with data from the jab rollout campaigns. They found tremendous benefits for people who took the vaccines.
Haha, just kidding! No, their conclusion were stark. Not only did the jabs not save lives, but the shots consistently appeared to be killing people in large numbers. In the researchers’ own words:
The authors concluded, logically, that governments should immediately end the policy of pushing shots on vulnerable elderly people, which is only considered elder abuse when non-government actors do it.

Free Covid tests will be offered again to all U.S. households — STAT
The federal government is again offering free Covid tests to Americans, providing a fifth round of free tests.
Vaccine Efficacy Has Reached Zero, According To CDC Data
Initially former director Rochelle Walensky claimed that the vaccines were 100% effective against infection, transmission and severe illness, despite there being virtually no evidence to support her statements.
Even after a study of an outbreak in Massachusetts showed that vaccinated people were easily contracting and spreading the virus, they stayed silent while jurisdictions and politicians, including President Joe Biden, enacted vaccine mandates or passports. All based on the lie that there was a significant reduction in transmission from vaccination.
Finally, Walensky did acknowledge publicly that the vaccines couldn’t stop transmission. However it was already far too late to matter.
But all along the agency has strongly stated that the mRNA shots were effective at preventing hospitalizations. Or at least that the latest booster was effective, tacitly acknowledging that the original two dose series has lost whatever impact it once had.
But a new presentation of data, directly from the CDC itself, shows that their relentless effort to promote endless COVID vaccines has been entirely unjustified. Mostly because they don’t actually perform as well as expected.
Vaccine Efficacy Among Adults Is Nearly Nonexistent
The key tenant of CDC and media messaging over the past few years is that the unvaccinated pose a severe threat to hospitals and that universal vaccination would prevent virtually every single COVID-related hospitalization.But their own data, provided just last week, show how disconnected from reality that messaging actually is.
The CDC presentation covered any number of “absolute vaccine efficacy” calculations, including one slide that grouped immunocompetent adults aged 18-64 and those over the age of 65, with adjustments for age, sex, race/ethnicity, admission date and HHS region. And the results are shockingly bad.
These numbers are, again, according to the literal CDC. For 18-64 year olds who’ve received the original two dose series only, they estimated a vaccine efficacy percentage of 20%, with a potential range of 4-34%. For the bivalent boosters, the same doses that were widely hyped last winter by Anthony Fauci, Ashish Jha and others as the only way to protect yourself from currently circulating variants - The Most Important Thing anyone could do last winter - vaccine efficacy was 17% after 90 days.
For those at highest risk of severe illness, those over 65, the original two dose vaccination series had an estimated….1% efficacy rate.
You read that right. 1%. With a confidence interval (CI) of -20% to 19%.
The bivalent boosters after 90 days had 10% vaccine efficacy, with a range of -24% to 35%.
For immunocompetent adults from 18-65+, confidence intervals show virtually no vaccine efficacy whatsoever from the monovalent vaccine or bivalent booster after 90 days.
The numbers aren’t much better for immunocompromised adults. The original two dose series has an estimate of 13% efficacy, with a CI of -14 to 33.
Another undiscussed aspect of vaccine efficacy is the impact of new variants. As the coronavirus changes over time, new variants emerge; from Delta, to Omicron, to BA. 4/5 to XBB 1.5 and beyond. And boy oh boy, do these vaccines struggle against XBB.
Again, according to the CDC’s own estimates, vaccine efficacy against XBB 1.5 is not only nonexistent, it’s negative.
The two dose monovalent series has an adjusted efficacy estimate of -10%. Negative 10% vaccine efficacy. Healthy adults over 18 who had received the original doses were actually more likely to be hospitalized after contracting the XBB 1.5 COVID variant than unvaccinated adults.
The results were similarly poor for the bivalent booster dose. After 90 days, immunocompetent adults with a bivalent booster saw an estimated -7% efficacy against hospitalization.
Although, as with some of the other estimates, small sample sizes made more precise estimates difficult to ascertain.
Even recent bivalent booster doses weren’t much use. While suffering from small sample size, recent boosting against XBB 1.5 still only resulted in a 33% efficacy estimate. Far below the original 50% target set by the FDA for emergency use authorization.
Yesterday, Politico wrung its hands into splinters in an angst-laden article headlined, “The anti-vaccine movement is on the rise. The White House is at a loss over what to do about it.” The sub-headlined promised, “This is the first story of a five-part series diving into the rise of the anti-vaccine political movement.”
Early this morning, right on schedule, Politico published its second installment, this one alarmingly headlined, “‘We’re going to lose lives’: Health experts decry rise of vaccine skepticism.”
Hey, look on the bright side. Maybe we’ll lose expert lives.
Haha, just kidding. The article’s emotional sub-headline fretted, “Some worry that only a national tragedy will turn the current trend around.” They’re fretting about you. And — according to Politico — you have gone mainstream, baby:
The article begins by insinuating that gullible fools like yourselves were deluded, but not by monstrous government overreach and an especially nasty form of mass hallucination that its psy-experts intentionally discharged under cover of so-called “public health programming.” No, Politico says you’ve been deluded by Robert Kennedy, Jr., and by dark GOP forces who slipped off the leash when the judge in Missouri v. Biden shut down the federal government’s censorship machine.
But Politico’s bad news, delivered using as somber and ominous of a tone as that silly rag can muster, is our good news. What Politico sees as ‘horrifying’ trends, we count as accomplishments. In Politico’s words (lightly edited for clarity):
The paranoid hypochondriacs, I mean public health experts, are pulling what’s left of their hair out. First covid, now this. Politico quoted lockdown-worshipping maskaholic Dr. Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University public health professor who advises the White House, who tearfully but angrily warned, “Diseases that we once thought had ended will roar back and kids will get sick and die from 100 percent preventable conditions.”
You’ll be sorry if you don’t listen to us.
Permanently-disheveled bowtie advocate and pharma shill “doctor” Peter Hotez, somehow still employed as a virologist at Baylor’s College of Medicine, took a short break from counting his covid money and sighed that questioning vaccines has “now become a politically motivated movement.” In his multiple books about the so-called anti-vaccine movement, Hotez argued that vaccine skepticism has become part of conservatives’ political worldview. But for some reason, despite that Hotez says he’s tried to cure conservatives of their delusions, nobody will listen to him: “I can’t get any engagement out of anybody.”
Dr. Umair Shah, Washington state’s secretary of health, was yet more blunt and apocalyptical. She sees vaccine hesitancy leading to the End of Days. “This is the beginning of a really rough and tough time,” Shah told Politico. “People are going to get sick. We’re going to lose lives.”
The long-form article made one main point: the White House needs to do something. But Politico glided right over two gigantic flaws in its argument: first, why is it the White House’s job to sell pharma’s products? And two, Politico’s articles never discussed the two categories of lived experiences actually fueling people’s so-called skepticism: covid shot side effects and jab mandates. If it’s not that, then Politico should explain how conservatives became vaccine skeptical, when it was a massively-popular Republican President who was originally responsible for the shots?
In more good news, sort of, Politico admitted that at least some public health experts realize that a lot of people hate them now. Dr. Dean Sidelinger, Oregon’s state health officer, told Politico, “I may be a trusted messenger for, hopefully, a large segment of the population, but I am not the trusted messenger for everyone.”
No doubt.
Here’s some news you can use. Since nobody is listening to the public health “officials” anymore, whoever is paying these so-called scientists (we could guess) has shifted tactics and is now sneakily going after pastors and social media influencers:
Re-building trust using sneaky, manipulative tactics seems oxymoronic, but what do I know? I’m just a lawyer.
The two articles, yesterday’s and today’s, were so similar that it was like Politico ran the same story twice. They’re going to do it three more times. Is it wrong of me to speculate about who’s paying Politico to write all these anti-anti-vaccine articles and give all these well-known pharma henchmen even more airtime?
I’m sure it has nothing to do with this article Politico published on Saturday:
Follow the science and you will find the money, or vice-versa.

Being hospitalized is too late, should be given at first diagnosed for greatest benefit. They still want you to die.
Friendly fire alert! A fascinating article appeared in the Harvard Gazette yesterday, headlined “How federal missteps opened door to COVID misinformation.”The author, an “investigative journalist” who actually thinks that the federal government understated the seriousness of the pandemic and undersold the protective effect of face masks, explained that the big government health agencies were lying, which has created a crisis in confidence and opened the door for critics:
As a result, if you follow her logic, because the federal agencies badly downplayed how serious the pandemic was, confusing everybody, you wily anti-vaxxers were able to use that confusion to your advantage. And, she ruefully admitted, you are winning:
Her proposed solutions were, predictably, calls for more “transparency” and more censorship.
It’s an awful article that doesn’t even try to mention the real problems with the agencies’ mendacious pandemic messaging. But the article signaled that even rabid, dictatorial leftists are now being forced to grapple with the fact nobody believes the governments’ pharma-occupied health apparatus anymore.

The Definition Of Insanity Exhibit A: Mask Mandates Are Back In California, And More May Be Coming
For those who live in sane parts of the country or the rest of the world, it might be hard to believe that there are still debates over continuing mask mandates and forcing masking.
But California’s wardens do not adhere to the rules of a sane society.
And as a result mask mandates are making their triumphant return in parts of the state, at least in specific settings. It’s an indefensible betrayal of the scientific method, a victory for “experts” who deliberately mislead and misinformed the public since 2020, and a reminder that despite the overwhelming evidence that masks don’t work, there is a committed group of ideological extremists who are more than willing to enforce their authoritarian demands onto a disturbingly complying public.
Just a few days ago the health officer of Sonoma County in Northern California issued an order forcing health care workers to wear masks in areas where they’ll be treating patients. Kaiser hospitals in the state also reinstated mask mandates several weeks ago, adding to the absurdity.
The worst aspect of this order, and that’s a high bar to clear, is that there’s literally no substantial increase of COVID transmission or concerning surge of hospitalizations or deaths to justify this decision. And they don’t even attempt to claim that there’s a surge worth worrying about.
Dr. Karen (you can’t make this up) Smith is going to force healthcare workers in Sonoma to mask from November all the way through until April. Not because of any actual data, but because she presumes wrongly that masks will have any effect.
In justifying her flagrant overreach, Smith issued a statement earlier in the week with a nonsensical, science-defying word salad about the risks of COVID several months into 2024.
This statement betrays a horrifying lack of awareness, delusional misinterpretation, and reveals how COVID extremists intend to continue their ineffective policies forever instead of admitting their much documented mistakes.

Speaking of rewriting history, a new study published Wednesday in the Journal Nature, titled “Duration of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine persistence and factors associated with cardiac involvement in recently vaccinated patients.”
The researchers autopsied 25 dead folks. Twenty of them died within 30 days of getting the safe and effective covid jabs. Five were a control group of deceased unvaccinated people. Here’s the study’s conclusion, which put the lie to the government’s long-standing claims that mRNA never ever leaves the injection site, disappears within a few short days, and never ever ever enters the heart:
The government lied. It lied like a flea-ridden dog, or a cheap rug, or a dead muskrat. The researchers found mRNA in damaged heart tissue in three out of the twenty vaccinated patients. That’s 1.5 out of ten (15%). Sadly, this information might have been helpful last year to some people who were deciding whether to go ahead and get the jabs to take a 3-day Caribbean cruise.
The obligatory glorification of the vaccines, which is still required for any study like this to get published, continues to be watered down. Here’s the how these particular researchers worded the compulsory language:
Hahahaha! Let us count the ways the stuffing was streaming out of the jab endorsement. First, they didn’t say “safe and effective.” They said, relatively safe and effective. But relative to what? Getting crushed by a meteorite?
Next, did you notice they didn’t regurgitate the line that serious adverse reactions are rare? Instead, they said serious adverse reactions are uncommon. Those are terms of art. Uncommon is a LOT different from rare. It’s a huge difference. ‘Rare’ adverse reactions occur in fewer than 1 in 1,000 people. ‘Uncommon’ adverse reactions occur in more than 1 in 1,000 people, but less than 1 in 100.
So now it’s uncommon, headed straight toward common at 60 mph, the last stop on pharma’s criminal railroad.
Finally, the researchers named a non-exclusive list of serious adverse events with NINE different categories of injuries. This was particularly remarkable considering that the CDC and the FDA currently only recognize THREE of those nine types (anaphylactic reactions, myocarditis, and pericarditis).
And yet it still got published. We’re making serious progress. Here’s a link to the study.
