The Myth of the FDA ‘Covid Vaccine Critic’ Marion Gruber

by Robert Kogon
2 July 2024 9:00 AM

One of the main, if not the main, takeaway from last week’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on the licensure of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine appears to be that FDA official Marion Gruber, who was at the time the Director of the FDA’s Office for Vaccines Research and Review, opposed the fast-track licensing of the vaccine. According to the standard spin, Gruber and her deputy Phillip Krause would even resign from the agency in protest. But what has gone virtually entirely overlooked in the related buzz about Gruber’s and Krause’s alleged opposition, is that Marion Gruber herself signed the letter approving the vaccine and granting full authorisation.

She only resigned after authorising. In fact, she did not resign. She retired, having reached the eligible retirement age the year before.

“The New Pause lengthens to eight years nine months” 

The writer of this excellent article concludes by saying;

”I have set out these new calculations in some detail because once it is more widely known it will help to bring the climate nonsense to an end.”

Well now, there’s optimistic for you! I wish that logic and rationality was a factor in this climate business but I am afraid it has gone way beyond that and seems to have become a religious cult driven with all the ferocity of the Spanish Inquisition.

Most office workers who quit their jobs during the pandemic now regret the decision, with almost three quarters pining for their pre-Covid roles

Sounds like more Government propaganda masquerading as news.

In the comments section of https://wherearethenumbers.substack.com/p/how-many-deaths-were-caused-by-the/comments , this one caught my eye:

Dan Shaw – Liked by Norman Fenton

The Yellow Card system is a passive monitoring system by government choice. On behalf of the government, the Royal College of GPs Research and Surveillance Centre at Oxford University runs active monitoring of respiratory viruses, such as influenza and SARA CoV 2. Active monitoring of all vaccines would expose the dirty secret of modern medicine that vaccines are not the ‘safe and effective’ miracle popular myth holds them to be. So long as doctors, bureaucrats and other well-meaning health practitioners believe vaccines are a miracle, they will go knees to chest to suppress anything ‘anti-vax’ in the false belief they are doing good.

Saw it on GBN around midday; top item on the news, with police Scotland taking an interest in offices in both Edinburgh & Glasgow. M’s £600K donation being spent on the odd campaign etc, by the sound of it.

“Say ‘pregnant people’, NHS watchdog tells staff in gender neutral drive” 

I’ll say ‘pregnant person’ the day they show me a bona fide XY ‘person’ with all his physical accoutrements – including dangly bits and testosterone levels – who who has become naturally pregnant.

Anyone else bothered by this? NHS to give our medical health data – you know, that thing we signed petitions about and instructed our GPs to withhold only a couple of years ago – to Palantir, that entirely corrupt ‘big data’ company. Were we informed? Do we get a choice any more? Clearly not. (It’s from Open Democracy so there might be a bit of nose-holding to read it.)

“In November, lawyers working for Foxglove wrote to NHS England on behalf of the National Pensioners’ Convention, Just Treatment and the Doctors Association UK, to raise concerns about the sharing of pseudonymised data.

The lawyers questioned whether consent requirements – which are needed to process pseudonymised data – had been violated, and what safeguards, if any, had been put in place to protect patient privacy.

NHS England has still not sent a substantive reply after more than three month’s but has now instructed all trusts to implement Faster Data Flows.

Following a story on GBN the other day, those who operate an iPhone might like to adjust their settings before April 23rd, to avoid the Gov’s trial “emergency” alarm game, allegedly to be tried on that day. In Settings/Notifications/EMERGENCY ALERTS, both Extreme Alerts and Severe Alerts, can be switched off. Mine have been.

Those who use Android ‘phones might wish to do likewise. It is really just a test of compliance.
