If you got the Pfizer shots, over the next 12 months, your mortality was 36% higher than Moderna. That\u2019s <strong>causality<\/strong>. No hedging any more. This study is definitive and bulletproof. They did everything right.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s assume to be super generous that the Moderna shots are super safe and don\u2019t increase all-cause mortality (ACM) at all. That\u2019s not true of course, but this is the best case.<\/p>\n<p>That means that the Pfizer shots, at a minimum, must increase your ACM by at least 36%.<\/p>\n<p>So that means that Pfizer, single-handedly, <strong>likely killed at least 470,000 Americans<\/strong> if the results in other states are similar to what they found when they looked in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The excuse that \u201cyeah, but there was a net benefit due to the lives saved from COVID\u201d is complete BS because COVID was at best a 20% mortality problem, and 36%-20% = 16%. So it was nonsensical to recommend the Pfizer shot for anyone, regardless of age; the math doesn\u2019t work for any age.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s possible that all the bad Pfizer batches went only to Florida, but that seems highly unlikely due to the strict quality control measures that the FDA has in place.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-anchor-post\">The vDFR is greater than the infection fatality rate so even if the vaccine was 100% effective, it kills &gt; saves<\/h3>\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-alignItems-center pc-position-absolute pc-reset header-anchor-parent\">\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-contents pc-reset pubTheme-yiXxQA\">\n<div id=\"\u00a7the-vdfr-is-greater-than-the-infection-fatality-rate-so-even-if-the-vaccine-was-effective-it-kills-saves\" class=\"pencraft pc-reset header-anchor offset-top\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The resulting vaccine dose fatality rate (vDFR)=0.157% for Pfizer.<\/p>\n<p>This is nearly identical to the vDFR numbers that Andre Redert found in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Andre-Redert\/publication\/368777703_Causal_effect_of_covid_vaccination_on_mortality_in_Europe\/links\/63f8d85757495059453e8f00\/Causal-effect-of-covid-vaccination-on-mortality-in-Europe.pdf?origin=publication_detail&amp;_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIiwicGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uRG93bmxvYWQiLCJwcmV2aW91c1BhZ2UiOiJwdWJsaWNhdGlvbiJ9fQ\" rel=\"\">30 country EU study, one of the best studies of the pandemic<\/a> (he calls it VFR).<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it amazing that nobody inside the FDA, CDC, NIH, or Congress (except Senator Ron Johnson) is calling for the shots to be stopped?<\/p>\n<p>This study, which was VERY carefully done, exposes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A major failure of all vaccine safety monitoring systems worldwide<\/li>\n<li>A major failure of the mainstream medical community to identify vaccine safety problems<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What will happen now is profuse apologies from the drug makers, the regulators, the mainstream media, and the mainstream medical community for not being able to spot such a gigantic safety problem.
