David Kupelian had so much more medical misinformation to spread in the latest issue of his sparsely read Whistleblower magazine that he did something he rarely does: write a second article for it. Published at WorldNetDaily on Feb. 3, it’s largely about fearmongering about vaccines and accusing others of “vaccine worship,” fearmongering about “ever-increasing numbers of vaccine disaster cases” (something he doesn’t substantiate) and claiming that a federal fund to compensate people with adverse reactions to vaccines has made drug companies unaccountable:
As a result, vaccine manufacturers today enjoy a rare business bonanza: 1) They manufacture drugs everyone is supposed to take, 2) they benefit from all the aggressive and free marketing efforts of government, the medical profession, educational establishment and news media, and 3) they are simultaneously protected from liability claims, even if their drug turns out to be dangerous.
For recent proof of the corruption this system has wrought, one need look no further than the COVID-19 pandemic.
The so-called Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, established in 1990 as an outgrowth of National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, has long been touted as a sort of “early warning system,” allowing doctors and scientists to identify “adverse events” resulting from a particular vaccine. The idea, of course, is that if a certain threshold of such problems is reached, the drug responsible will be pulled from the market.
[…]Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the VAERS database racked up an astonishingly large number of adverse events related to the COVID vaccines. For journalists, reporting on negative outcomes of the various vaccines, especially among the young, became virtually a daily occurrence, from “sudden death” reports of athletes to the never-ending string of disturbing reports of vaccine-induced myocarditis in young men.
Yet throughout the pandemic, rather than serving as an “early warning system,” VAERS served as a barometer of just how disinterested and corrupt the federal health bureaucracy – from the CDC (which administers VAERS) to the Food and Drug Administration to the National Institutes of Health – have all become. None seemed to care about the alarming number and variety of serious medical crises following COVID-19 vaccination.
Currently, the VAERS database – summarized on the much more transparent “Open VAERS” website – documents the following list of COVID-19 vaccine “adverse events.” (Bear in mind, as “Open VAERS” states up-front, that VAERS “is a voluntary reporting system that has been estimated to account for only 1% of vaccine injuries.”)
We’ve shown how the whole “died suddenly” narrative was a largely manufactured conspiracy theory by the likes of anti-vaxxers like WND. We’ve also pointed out (which Kupelian did not) that reports in the VAERS database have not been independently verified and that a website like Open VAERS is unreliable becuase of that. Kupelian then ramped up the anti-vaxx fearmongering:
Of course, everyone knows the world has been blessed historically with highly beneficial “miracle drugs” – including smallpox, polio and other vaccines, as well as myriad drugs, from penicillin and insulin to morphine and even aspirin. There’s no question these and other medicines have greatly benefited mankind.
But that obviously doesn’t mean every vaccine and every drug is in the same league. Some are questionable and problematic, while others simply should be banned, based on their terrible track record.
Moreover, why are some vaccines administered when they clearly are not indicated? For example, as Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, himself a medical doctor, asked during the confirmation hearing for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., why is it that the Hepatitis B vaccine is routinely administered to newborn babies to “protect” them from contracting a disease that is transmitted almost exclusively through sex or sharing of contaminated needles from illicit drug users?
Part of the answer is obvious – the financial incentive pharmaceutical companies have for making sure every child born receives their shot.
In fact, hepatitis B can also be spread to the baby through an infected mother or through blood or body fluids. (Also, Paul is an optometrist, not a real medical doctor.)
Kupelian then got mad that anti-vaxxers faced criticism for it:
Meanwhile, treatment of heretics and unbelievers in the religion of vaccine worship is often extremely harsh.
During the COVID pandemic, nearly half of all Democrat voters told pollsters for Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute that they backed measures that would require “the unvaccinated” to live, at least temporarily, in detention facilities. The national telephone and online poll surveying 1,016 likely voters found that 45% of Democratic voters favored such measures for unvaccinated Americans.
A shocking 59% of Democrat respondents – 3 out of 5 – favored a government policy requiring citizens to “remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies” if they refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine – which later turned out to be one of the most problem-ridden vaccines in history.
In fact, COVID vaccines are not more “problem-ridden” than other vaccines. But Kupelian apparently thinks WND will make more money if he’s an anti-vaxxer, regardless of what the truth is.
