Australian authorities are forcing unnecessary covid vaccines on three million people who have recovered from the virus giving them robust natural immunity.
For more than a year, peer-reviewed studies published by the world’s top medical journals have repeatedly confirmed that those who recover from covid have broad and long-lasting immunity.
Like a free vaccine, natural immunity protects the covid-recovered from severe illness, hospitalisation and death from future waves of the virus.
Immunity from prior infection has outlasted every study ever done on it.
It outlived an eight-month study published more than a year ago in Science, with a robust, durable and diverse response involving all four major types of immune memory.
Natural immunity provided 95 per cent protection against symptomatic infection more than 13 months after covid infection according to a retrospective cohort study of more than 325,000 people published in the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases in December.
It was confirmed again by the US Centres for Disease Control in a study released in January that showed those who recovered from covid have more protection from infection than those with the vaccine alone.
Robust and long-lasting natural immunity was described again last month in the Journal of Environmental Research where doctors reviewing the published science found natural immunity offers equal or better protection than two doses of an mRNA vaccine.
Lead author Stefan Pilz, associate professor at the Medical University of Graz, Austria, said the data is clear. Natural immunity reduces the risk of reinfections for at least a year.
“For natural immunity we see in many studies that it’s really very, very stable and only moderately waning with time,” he told Dr John Campbell.
By comparison, the two-dose vaccine lasts about 25 weeks while the booster provides protection for two months, then declines steeply.
The UK Health Security Agency found vaccine immunity dropped to 45 per cent just over 10 weeks after a third Pfizer booster.
Other countries recognised natural immunity months ago.
In October, the official visa advice for Switzerland said covid-recovered residents are considered “fully vaccinated” for a year, and 180 days in the rest of the European Union.
The Department of Health says three million Australians have now had covid.
The science is clear: these people do not need more product for the forseeable future.
Despite this, vaccine advisory group ATAGI said last month that everyone over age 16 has to get a third dose of product to be considered “up to date with their vaccination status”, whether they’ve had covid or not.
Exactly the same number of doses are recommended for the covid-recovered as for people who never had it.
Why are they doing this to us?
Letters from Australia asked ATAGI through the Department of Health why it was ignoring natural immunity, linking four major pieces of research including a population-level study from Denmark, and a large UK study on health workers, both published in The Lancet, a prestigious peer-reviewed medical journal.
The Department of Health replied - for which I thank them. I am grateful the department’s media team took the time to pass on the request and respond via email.
But they stuck to the discredited line that covid-recovered should inject more product.
“People who have had COVID-19 should still be vaccinated. The development of specific antibodies to COVID does not always result in protective immunity,” the Department said, against the evidence.
“Reinfection and breakthrough infection can occur in persons previously infected and/or immunised. Because SARS-COV-2 is novel and because lineages of concern continue to emerge, experts don't yet know how long any natural protective immunity might last. Australians should not rely on assumed protective immunity from previous infection.”
This is simply wrong. And harmful.
Those who recover from covid are at a higher risk of a bad reaction from additional vaccine product, as several studies have found.
There’s no easy way to say it: the government is incompetent or lying.
The evidence is conclusive; the data overwhelming. Protective immunity from previous infection is not “assumed”, it has been demonstrated, repeatedly. It lasts far longer than vaccine immunity, especially against variants.
Australia’s coercive vaccination policy is centrally planned despite outsourcing implementation to the states, and it is stuck in 2020 when we didn’t know covid almost exclusively harms the elderly, or that the vaccine is short-lived, or that natural immunity is strong.
Millions of Australians are forced to take a poorly-tested medical product they don’t need while pretending it’s for their own good.
Taking a medical product you don’t need risks side-effects without benefit.
Brendan was a fit 34-year-old software coder from Perth, Western Australia, before his second Pfizer shot in November.
The vaccine is only supposed to go into the muscle not the bloodstream where it can cause terrible side effects.
Like others, Brendan asked for the simple safety measure of aspirating the needle to prevent accidental vein strike - shown to cause myopericarditis in mice.
All nurses were once trained to aspirate intramuscular injections.
But the World Health Organisation changed its guidelines, scrapping aspiration to reduce pain during vaccination, so Australia followed.
Australian doctors must do what the government tells them so Brendan’s concern was dismissed as the government guidelines say not to aspirate.
Brendan had almost zero chance of severe covid without a vaccine, but he had to inject this product if he wanted to travel or live a normal life.
It nearly killed him. He suffered weeks of racing heart and chest pain, in and out of hospital, before he could get a referral to a cardiologist who diagnosed him with post-vaccine myopericarditis, he told Dr John Campbell.
It cannot be known whether accidental vein strike or the vaccine product side-effects caused Brendan’s problem. Either way, it was a risk he shouldn’t have been forced into.
Purge of unvaccinated workers continues
Despite overwhelming evidence that covid vaccines do not impact transmission, Australia’s ignorant, bigoted purge of unvaccinated workers continues.
Supermarket giant Woolworths has become the latest to sack the unvaccinated.
One distressed former staffer, who loved his job, wrote on Twitter of the powerlessness and hurt he felt after the supermarket chain threw him away after five years of dedication because he chose not to take a medical product.
“It makes me so depressed to see my work gone like this,” he wrote.
Woolworths still takes money from unvaccinated customers, though.
Fascism is the union of corporation and state. In Australia, big business enforces vaccine uptake for the government.
Woolworth’s competitors Coles and Aldi have said they will sack unvaccinated staff. Bunnings, Target and Kmart, all owned by Wesfarmers, said they’d make vaccination a condition of new employment.
The Retail and Fast Food Workers Union has nothing on its website to say they will help unvaccinated workers.
The New Zealand High Court recently threw out vaccine mandates for police and defence forces in a human rights win, bringing hope across the channel.
A Bill of Rights guarantees Kiwis can refuse a medical treatment - but Australians have no such legal protection.
Australians must inject three doses now in order to be “up to date” so they can keep their jobs, travel, visit loved ones in aged care or hospital, or even research at the NSW state library.
ATAGI’s new wording “up to date with your vaccination status” is both sinister and important. It replaces “fully vaccinated” - because you can never be “fully vaccinated”.
Pfizer is now testing a new vaccine for Omicron, which means more injections are coming, whether you need them or not.
The American pharmaceutical giant raised its covid vaccine sales forecasts in November to $36 billion for 2021 and another $29 billion in 2022, Reuters reported.
Global pharmaceutical corporations have enormous influence in Australia, and were described in a recent documentary as having “power comparable to that of a state”.
Living a lie
Australians must live a lie: to pretend three million adults need a poorly-tested medical product when they know they do not.
Worse, we pretend it’s OK for governments to force inject us with it, then change the subject.
The vaccine is not useless - it is of benefit to the elderly, obese and those with health issues that make them vulnerable to severe covid. But it’s not good for everyone.
A medical issue should be decided between a patient and their doctor, not dictated by the state then reduced to a “for or against” binary, as if barracking at the football.
This has silenced criticism of Australia’s blanket, blunt, forced vaccine policy - and we are paying for it with our lives, our jobs, and our long-term health.
Australia’s health professionals were silenced long ago by government. All were forced to take the injection or lose their license.
They were told not to say anything bad about the vaccine including on their private social media accounts by the health regulator, AHPRA, and the professional boards, before the rollout even began.
Social media censored unpleasant facts from the start, lumping scientific data and real vaccine injuries in with misinformation then dismissing it all. The vaccine dead and injured have been hidden from view.
It’s totalitarian.
Health workers self-censor, silenced by a machine more controlling than the USSR.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn the famous Russian dissident, knew what it was to live in that totalitarian Soviet state.
People had to lie so much they could no longer orient themselves to reality, he wrote.
In Live Not By Lies, his last essay before exile to the West in 1974, Solzhenitsyn wrote that even in a hopeless situation, every person has the power to refuse a lie.
“When people renounce lies, it cuts short their existence. Like a virus, they can survive only in a living organism …. let us refuse to say what we do not think.”
It is only the energy of a few western dissidents – demonised, censored and sacked – that have brought vaccine problems to light.
We may never have known of Pfizer’s vaccine trial misconduct if not for the gutsy Brook Jackson, Phase III clinical trial regional director, who blew the whistle on botched Ventavia testing, and for the brave reporting by the British Medical Journal which was censored by Facebook.
Pfizer never even released all its raw trial data to regulators, so it is difficult to see how Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) could have thoroughly reviewed the vaccine for safety, as it claims.
It is only through the activism of non-profit Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency that the public will see any of it.
They took the US regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to court to get the emergency use authorisation documents released.
Like Australia’s TGA, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is funded by fees paid by Big Pharma applicants, creating a monetary relationship between regulator and regulated.
Relationships of career advancement also exist: former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb sits on the board of Pfizer.
The FDA sought to hide Pfizer’s documents for 75 years - but a Texas court ordered them to release them all over the next eight months.
The first tranche of 55,000 documents released on March 1 can be found here.
It will take experts time to go through it, and to understand what it reveals about the product and the side effects we weren’t told about such as Hashimoto's encephalopathy, heart attacks and immune-mediated hepatitis.
Diagnostic pathologist Clare Craig told Neil Oliver on GB News that it was likely the most damning information would be hidden until the last of the document dumps as the FDA seeks to minimise the reputational damage.
The Academy of Ideas points out how the essence of totalitarianism is an attempt to change reality to fiction.
Australia needs to get off the road of lies, admit it is wrong to force covid injections on the entire population regardless of need, and make vaccine discrimination illegal.
