Maryanne, You are a diamond-not-in-the-rough...one of the only couple people actually reporting extensively, unbiasedly, and accurately in this space. Thanks for all you do. You should have far more subscribers considering the quality of your work.

Big hugs, thanks Dr K. I'm trying to work out how to increase subscribers - hoping people share this within their own networks -- tricky to break through in a crowded market.

thank you Dr Demasi,

- extraordinary -

.. extraordinary

extraordinary to finally see statements like the following:

"Also, as you know, there is an issue with DNA contamination – high levels of plasmid DNA found in the vaccines – which is not supposed to be there, and the question is, what is that doing to the body?"

.. and

"The DNA contamination issue is interesting because we cannot just look at the published literature. It has been documented by several labs across the world, including an FDA lab as you’ve shown, but it’s difficult to get this stuff published in high-impact academic journals, which is unfortunate. So we will be digging further for answers, potentially consulting with various experts who do this work."

now .. will Australia's TGA finally submit and admit the DNA contamination information our team so diligently presented to them, and Mark Butler, and the Prime Minister, and all Australian Local Councils, and all Australian media, does require their immediate and full attention?

.. will the TGA now stop what has been, essentially, a cover-up operation to protect its political masters .. and get professional .. and assist their colleagues in the ACIP?

I am sure Professor Levi and the the CDC’s new Covid-19 vaccine working group would appreciate their assistance .. they are just a phone call away, TGA

Yes, I remember when the TGA brushed it off as “misinformation”… sly. The TGA knew and wilfully suppressed the information. Malfeasance 101.

Don’t we recall the big sell when it was announced in 2020 that mRNA which was fledgling at the time would be brilliant as after initial trial and approval it could be modified for virus variants which were very common in respiratory viruses (nudge flu vacines changed to suit new variant of the year)

Seems the FDA and TGA believed the hype … lots of changes designed and committed like dna contamination never saw a randomised placebo controlled trial even company registered - and the school student review under the wings of the FDA was dead on arrival

Maryanne - you obviously have access to people in high places in the Trump Administration.

Can you bring your influence to bear to ask the Trump Administration to quickly put intense pressure on both the Australian federal government and Queensland state government to block their intended destruction of the bio-samples and data that were obtained from the prematurely halted “Queensland COVID-19 Vaccination (QoVAX) Safety and Efficacy Trial Program” ?

The evidence from this program will be crucial to the review that the ACIP body is conducting. The U.S. Govt will need to act quickly on this as it appears that the Queensland politicians are under a lot of pressure (from somebody !!) to destroy these all important biological samples gathered from those injected with the mRNA agents.

Thanks, I sent all the information to Jay B at the NIH, but to no avail. I haven’t kept up with the story… I thought there was a resolution to keep the samples now? Or was that just a temporary solution?

I have only been receiving fragments of information about the status of the QuoVAX issue from Substack sources so I cannot be sure about the reports of ‘a solution’. Putting on my post-Covid Paranoia Hat, I trust neither the Queensland state politicians nor the slimy ‘health’ bureaucrats who sit behind them who pull the puppet strings. I fear that without widespread public media exposure, that we will wake up one morning and find that those precious bio samples have all been destroyed without public notice. As far as I am concerned, all trust has been lost in the real governments who run Australia - namely the self-serving bureaucrats - and that includes some of the judicial system players as well.

If the explicit goal is rebuilding trust, then certain findings will not be permissible.

The health professionals dealing with Long COVID know that looking at onset of adverse impact just short term after vaccination is an insult to patients, their families and their doctors. Seems this review by ACIP chaired by Dr Levi, may at last counter the big pharma profiteering bias and look far and wide for answers. He mentioned some are still producing spike protein after 700 days…

Well done Maryanne for securing such a timely balanced interview which MSM seem incapable of doing

Maryanne Demasi, PhD's avatar

Thank you, C… My impression is that the Working Group is very interested in helping the vaccine-injured by examining the evidence for mechanisms of injury, with the hope that this will open new avenues for treatment. That's my hope too.

Well we don’t vaccinate for sunburn, we suggest a barrier between the scorching sun and the skin and we even ADVERTISE

SLIP SLAP SLOP on TV with no shouts by TGA of RESTRICTED REPRESENTATIONS even though every chemical in sunscreen requires scheduling and Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods ARTG device approval

Real vaccines are long lasting protection - as your question of Dr Levi points out - it’s definitional- is MHRA really a vaccine or a gene therapy. Maybe those commenting about or hating anti-vaxers need language correction

Are they

Anti-gene therapy

And maybe many would join them as supporting GAIN OF FUNCTION research was criticised by many…

Interesting, perhaps that’s how we change the slur…. Call those opposed to the Covid injections “anti-gene therapyers” 😂

[The original pivotal trials excluded pregnant women, and the only trial ever conducted was very small, underpowered, focused on vaccination in later stages of pregnancy and stopped early.]

and I well remember the TGA and all the health bureaucrats specifically telling pregnant women they should get jabbed. 'Safe and Effective'. Criminal.

Wow Maryanne, pinch me to make sure I’m not dreaming. The blow back from pharma will be huge. Paul Offit has been doing the rounds to discredit RFK JR and the media takes everything in as if it’s gospel, disgraceful. Great interview to give to a wonderful, inquiring minds. Thank you Maryanne!!

Maryanne Demasi, PhD's avatar

I reckon Offit’s head might explode if he sees this interview — he’s already dismissed most of the topics in the Terms of Reference as inventions.

Glad you liked it. I really sensed a genuine commitment to uncovering the mechanisms behind vaccine injuries, which could eventually lead to treatments. It’s a long road ahead for those already injured, but there's hope.

Maryanne, Retsef Levi comes across as having empathy, committed and above all else, truthfulness.

He’s the best critic/skeptic of vaccines in any high-ranking government position, but his answer about not pausing the COVID jabs was weak and perhaps treasonous.

I don’t want to hear another health official say forward-looking again. Let’s boldly look at the past with a willingness to pursue civil and criminal charges.

Otherwise the next scamdemic will be more deadly.

We have something more dangerous than salmonella here!

Romaine lettuce, especially organic romaine lettuce is healthy food with numerous positive effects, but we issue recalls after 5 people experience moderate food-poisoning. I don’t think Levi understands what a safety signal is or how to conduct a risk-benefit analysis. I think the whole ACIP committee needs an in depth 3 week class - 30 hours per week from my favorite Substack authors to get up to speed. By January 29, 2021 the data in VAERs showed hundreds of safety signals based on PRRs and Chi squares and a minimum number of events as specified by law. This product never should been approved because of the SV40 sequence, the lack of testing on the safety of the Lipid nano particles, the endotoxin contamination and DNA contamination resulting from switching manufacturing processes which essentially created a new product that should have gone through all the initial tests again. But this product should have been discontinued in early February of 2021 based on those safety signals. The CDC claims they did run those numbers until 2022. But we are now in 2025.

Levi and Kennedy both bear some responsibility for not pulling these products off the market in July.

What will it take? The Japanese data published this June from a review of medical records of 17 million people is convincing. The more shots the more likely the person will die in the next 12 months, and the more shots the sooner the person is more likely to die. Correlation does not provide causation, but fulfilling any one of the Bradford Hill criteria indicates that causality is more likely than not.

I hope the study of DNA and endotoxin contamination leads to a rapid discontinuation of these products.

Now that the ACIP committee knows they were misled by the RSV monoclonal antibodies research, can they rescind their approval? I can’t believe this happened!

Thanks Maryanne. It’s good to see such a positive step forward, and your interview is very helpful in providing clarity on the WG move. (It should not be unusual of course for systematic and credible advice to be obtained to inform decision makers, but the reality is that it is.) Can you please clarify the WG role, however? The responsibility to make decisions rests still with ACIP doesn’t it - the WG merely provides advice on what is reliably known about scientific questions (not restricted of course to self-interested advice from pharmaceutical companies)? So the WG cannot make any decisions (about vaccine schedules, mRNA deployment, etc) can it? The ACIP is not obliged to take the WG advice, I thought. Frustrations with ‘slow’ change to practices are understandable, but we need a clear sense of who is empowered to make the decisions before expecting that the WG advice will routinely be taken, don’t we? Thanks.
