Funny how fast the FDA can move when they have zero evidence. See: monoclonal ban

Senator Johnson's panel earlier in the week is worth everyone's time to watch. And looking forward to your piece Alex on Ivermectin and other known remedies being used out there.

“For whatever reason, the agency seems to be in no particular hurry to act.” My interpretation-we don’t want to lose our Pfizer kickbacks just yet. FDA is a Department of Big Pharma.

"For whatever reason, the agency seems to be in no particular hurry to act."

It should be blindingly obvious by now that Pfizer owns the FDA.

That is not to say that this new vaccine is without issue, but Fauci is already pushing the Pfizer Omicron boosters and they will almost assuredly get swift approval while their competitors languish in review purgatory.

They've been doing the same thing to the Novavax vaccine, which is a vector vaccine. Basically, they inject you with the spike proteins. The same company has made a pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine the same way and it seems to work. But that's neither here nor there. While the EU has okayed the Novavax vaccine, the US won't. This is why the conspiracy theories. You can't blame people for going out and buying tinfoil and making hats when you're pulling monoclonal antibodies because, you claim, they don't help with omicron, but you keep shoving the original vaccines, which also don't work for omicron obviously, and you won't let any other vaccines that people might be more comfortable with out in public with no more research done on them than the ones you're shoving on everyone that won't work. In short, if you don't want people to be suspicious, do not act in suspicious ways.

ALL VA$$INES are NOT SAFE OR EFFECTIVE. I want to hope that people have learned in the last 2 years the scam of the va$$ine industry and how it has devastated our childrens health in the last 30 years when injections went from 7 to 72 injections. Horror.

I appreciate her stance. But there is no need for Covaxin for this “disease” either. Especially not if it has been rushed to production with little to no data regarding its safety and effectiveness. Vaccines dont have to be MRNA technology ( can be “traditional “) to be harmful. We have TONS of evidence to point this out. How about NO VACCCINES for this digital i.D. nudging boondoggle?

Better late than never, I suppose, but I’m just a nobody with a Master’s degree and I’ve known since the get go that mRNA vaccines were a bad idea. Anyone who consulted the literature early on would have known that the spike protein (via natural infection) was the putative culprit in the systemic inflammatory response that killed so many COVID patients. It’s distressing how incurious — and yet, imperious — so many health professionals are on this topic.

Forgive me, but why is Pfizer and Dr. Fauci so hell bent on developing a "vaccine" for Omicron strain if, by all accounts as we currently are led to believe, there are no serious complications with this variant. Would we all not be better served to simply get Omicron and get on with it? I understand that Pfizer and Moderna have always looked at this as a revenue opportunity. With the original virus, perhaps there was a slim margin of virtue in what they were attempting (very slim). However, it would seem now to be more evident than ever that they simply are trying to find a continuous revenue stream. If an ineffective vaccine for the common cold (Omicron), than why not one for dandruff, acne, obesity, diabetes, ibs, depression, anxiety....and so on. The point is, if a vaccine only ameliorates and doesn't prevent, than what's to stop them from promulgating said lunacy?

Considering previous (attempted) coronavirus vaccines failed badly, I don't see any reason to think these will work any better. And I'd be damned suspicious of any trial data without absolute full disclosure and independent confirmation. On second thought, I'd just assume it was false information.

I totally disagree with taking a vaccine, mRNA or not, that has not been thoroughly and properly tested for safety and efficacy. The IFR and survival rate for this virus DO NOT warrant the use of untested vaccines of any stripe!!

Expand full comment

Boosters, schmoosters...we don't need any vaccines for a virus with a 99% survival. Not an mRNA, not Covaxin. There are always risks with vaccines. Please stop with the promotion of "good" vaccines for Covid. It's just more money for Pharma. Also, I hate the term "Covid centrist," as it implies that someone like me, who thinks this whole false pandemic and the rush to a forced, dangerous vaccine, is an extremist. I am not an extremist. I am smart, educated and informed on this topic.

The WHO currently authorizes 10 covid vaccines and lists 30+ in use in different countries around the world. So why are US citizens stuck with these three garbage products? Cuba has some vaccines that don't expose you to the full spike protein, just the receptor binding domain. But that's Cuba.

I am 64, haven’t had Covid or any variant as far as I know. I didn’t trust the vaccine from the beginning because of how hard they were pushing it on everyone, not just risk groups. You’d have thought people were dropping on the streets, but I saw and heard none of that in my circles. Sure, several got sick, but none were hospitalized. They set up dozens of huge trailers for temporary hospital beds that went unused. The mask/no mask thing didn’t help. For months we’ve been seeing evidence that the vaccines don’t work very well. Masks have never worked. I’ll keep reading and listening, but I don’t need any more convincing. I’m not gonna get it.

Before Covid, I thought vaccines were one the greatest medical interventions. Shortly before Covid hit, I got two different vaccines. One to protect me and one to protect my next door neighbor's baby. My idea and my choice, on both counts.

Now, my earlier assumptions would need to be verified with actual data. I have learned about OAS and the questionable efficacy of the flu vaccine in the needy populations. How peer reviewers don't have access to any of the raw data for any drug that they review (that data is only available if there is a lawsuit). That in the Pfizer mRNA trial, more people died in the vaccine arm than in the placebo arm.

If I have had serious questions about the Covid vaccines (I made a list of my concerns and it gets longer by the day), I can't understand why doctors haven't also had a healthy skepticism. Knowing what I know as a lay person, I can't understand why any doctor would ever recommend the mRNA vaccines to anyone under 60. So I still question Dr. Gandhi's discernment.

You’ve got this right Alex. I’ve had numerous discussions with Gandhi about various pandemic issues and she knows full well the data showing strangely high correlations between vaccination and case rates.

"Dr. Gandhi is too smart to come out and say openly the mRNA vaccines are useless..."

That's not being smart, that's being dishonest. Having the "elite media bluechecks" should not be the goal of any honest scientist with a conscience at this point.

Careful, Berenson. You're ripping your own mask off with such statements.

Many experts have been openly saying that "mRNA vaccines are useless (if not dangerous) at this point", for 2 years now. Dr. Gandhi, like Alex, are a little late to the game. But at least they're coming around to that reality now.

There were some who shouting from the rooftop that to mass "vaccinate" in the middle of a pandemic was dangerous and useless. Unfortunately, they were censored, mocked and marginalized.

I'm glad I listened to them and never offered myself to become part of the grand experiment.

Here's Fauci lying about Covaxin/Ocugen when asked why the FDA hasn't approved it. Fauci lied and said that OCGN hasn't applied. They did...on November 5th.

Fauci: What do you mean alternative? It’s not an alternative. It’s another vaccine. We don’t need another vaccine; we have plenty of vaccines, they have not applied to get approved. When you try to get approved, the FDA looks at the data, and if the data are in order and give you a good scientific rationale to approve it, the FDA will approve it. There are no interventions that are not being approved for reasons other than they’ve either not been submitted for approval or the data are not strong enough to warrant approval.

To me it sounds like you are just better of getting Omicron.

Of course my preferred option is just not get any of it. Vax or covid. It's worked so far.

I am actually surprised, which doesn't seem to happen much today, that this is the first time I have heard about Covaxin. An actual possible vaccine. It sounds like someone didn't line enough pockets to get this passed for emergency use. Or maybe they need to offer stock options to people heading the FDA, CDC, and Fauci?

Dr. Gandhi now joins the unoffical cohort of Conspiracy Theorists and domestic terrorists because, the science, or something. Now anything she writes, says, whispers or even thinks will be promptly buried by the gutter press and she will be sent to the back of the classroom to keep the likes of Dr Peter McCullough, Dr Robert Malone, Steve Kirsch and Joe Rogan company. Kudos to her!!!

File this under quotes by fools that will look stupid in the fullness of time. MSNBC - Morning Joe today (1:07 mark): “We just can’t keep shutting down our country because of these people who would rather take Ivermectin than get a vaccine that is SAFER THAN ASPIRIN.”

For decades the pharma industry could not develop a covid vaccine. Kept running into problems. Until the liability waiver is taken away, it seems nuts to consider any of their new vaccines unless you are at extreme risk and don't mind the risk of the new shots.

Guess what, Dr. Gandhi, the mRNA vaccines shouldn't have been pushed on those of us who already recovered from wild type, Alpha, or Delta, too. Because we've "seen the whole virus".

A quick internet search took me to an article in bizjournals.com about Covaxin. The EUA they are seeking is for children 2-18. It says that last summer they decided “based on a recommendation from the FDA” that wouldn’t seek an EUA for adults, but would instead file for a license. The article is called “FDA places a hold on Ocugen’s plan for U.S. trials of the Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin.”

Would have been better for Dr. Gandhi to have been done with mRNA poison death shots before they killed tens of thousands of people and disabled many more.

And how about we stop pretending that any vaccine for this virus makes any sense at all knowing that there are numerous safe and effective treatments.....

Dr. Monica Ghandi should research the Novavax (Covovax) vaccine! The vaccine can be stored in a normal fridge for 3 months unlike other vaccines which must be kept in low temperatures.

It ALSO has a protein base (F the MRNA vaccines!) - and is expected to be well-received by the unvaccinated population. Other vaccines create parts of the virus that can trigger the immune system, but Novavax contains the spike protein of Covid and formulates this as a nanoparticle which can't cause disease - according to Yale Medicine. Already has WHO approval, and they are waiting for FDA approval - which they expect to get within the next week or two.

I've actually been hoping you might write on this topic. I've been following the "traditional" vaccines since the Spring. The Covaxin EUA Gandhi refers to is actually only an EUA for under 18 and they seem to be sitting on it for quite a while (sub date Nov 5). Ocugen, the company trying to bring Covaxin to the US market, submitted an application for EUA for adults back in June and was rejected by the FDA. FDA told Ocugen that they had to go BLA route instead. Well Ocugen submitted an application in the Fall to begin clinical trials here and the FDA issued a clinical hold at the end of November, citing problems but not publicly specifying what they were. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but between the Ocugen/Covaxin saga and the struggles Novavax has had with the FDA for their protein subunit vaccine, it almost seems like the deck is stacked for the mRNA vaccines at the FDA. Fauci was asked about Covaxin in the US in an interview recently and said he couldn't understand the question because we already have plenty of vaccines and the "best ones available". In my observation, 90 percent of vaccine hesitancy is because of the new and not fully understood technology. If the goal is to maximize vaccination, authorizing a traditional vaccine should be a slam dunk...and yet...would love to hear your thoughts.

You have to wonder about the critical thinking skills of an "expert" who thinks these mRNA jabs "are really safe and effective." They are neither. The data are clear.
