A Pfizer executive said on Monday that neither she nor other Pfizer officials knew whether its COVID-19 vaccine would stop transmission before entering the market in late 2020. The Epoch Times has more.
Member of the European Parliament, Rob Roos, asked during a session: “Was the Pfizer COVID vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market? Did we know about stopping immunization before it entered the market?”
Pfizer’s Janine Small, president of international developed markets, said in response: “No … You know, we had to … really move at the speed of science to know what is taking place in the market.”
Roos, of the Netherlands, argued in a Twitter video Monday that following Small’s comments to him, millions of people around the world were duped by pharmaceutical companies and governments.
“Millions of people worldwide felt forced to get vaccinated because of the myth that ‘you do it for others,’” Roos said. “Now, this turned out to be a cheap lie” and “should be exposed,” he added.
The Epoch Times notes that in late 2020 the Food and Drug Administration wrote that there were no data available to determine whether the vaccine would prevent transmission and for how long. Around the same time, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said his firm was “not certain” if those who receive its vaccine will be able to transmit COVID-19 to other people.
However, during spring 2021 a number of people, including President Joe Biden and his Chief Medical Adviser Anthony Fauci, claimed vaccinated people are “dead ends” for the virus. “When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health and that of the family but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community,” Fauci said. Fauci later rowed back on these claims, saying that the vaccine prevents severe disease, hospitalisation and death from COVID-19. However, U.S. vaccination policy has remained wedded to the notion that it stops transmission, with mandates and coercion routinely imposed by public authorities and employers citing federal Government advice. Many of these policies, including the ban on unvaccinated visitors entering the United States, remain in force.

Who knew?!
The physicist’s dilemma – you can’t observe anything without affecting it.
And yet the amount of money, political capital, power, and reputation that is tied up in the net-zero – climate-change conspiracy is such that a few ‘inconvenient truths’ are not easily going to shift the official line.
I wish this was news. Same story reported by Dr. Roy Spencer and Professor John Christy for years, and by so many other credible people. The list is long. Very long.
Thanks for reporting it anyway.
They can only be ‘top scientists’ if they are the approved for giving right sort of information in support of The Climate Change Narrative™️ – they aren’t.
So nothing they say will make any difference.
The great climate change supertanker is full stream ahead towards our economic ruin with the throttle and rudder superglued in position.
Great choice of image for the post.
I’m just thrilled that Google’s expert climatologists (along with their expert medical scientists, military specialists, geopoliticians and legal eagles etc) are there to keep us all safe from such nefarious information, written by people who only have a measly 40 plus years of experience in their fields of endeavour, only one NASA award for Exceptional Scientific Achievement plus some random Fellowships and Distinguished Professorships. Yes, Google’s crowd can really teach these guys a thing or two about the weather, don’t you think?
Ah, yes, that Global Warming trend that’s been obvious since the Industrial Revolution…
“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”
Kenneth Watt, Ecologist, 1970
This is what I was hearing incessantly as I came of age. There are many more of that period warning us about the “settled science” of the coming Ice Age.

“Any model, including those predicting climate doom, can be tweaked to yield a desired result. I should know.”
After three iterations [of remodeling] I finally blurted out, “What number are you looking for?”
He didn’t miss a beat: He told me that he needed to show $2 billion of benefits to get the program renewed.
I finally turned enough knobs to get the answer he wanted, and everyone was happy.
Was the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] official asking me to lie?
I have to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he believed in the value of continuing the program. (Congress ended the grants in 1990.)”

The climate-change industry is making some people rich and powerful so they try to censor any other informations that differs from their claims.
