The CDC was the centre for the lies, which the rest of the world blindly followed. So seems natural they will be the last, if ever, to admit it.

You notice Pfizer’s ceo Bourla has posted a “response” buttering up to Trump as being worthy of Nobel prize for Operation Warp-speed trying to drive a wedge between RFK Jnr and Trump

Being the cynic I am, I see a simple explanation for your observations Maryanne:

Outside of the US, the cv-19 politicians, cv-19 bureaucrats and cv-19 health 'authorities' have not been 'living on the back of vaccines and pharma! They were all obedient accolytes that did as they were told and now, as the scene is being reset, they think that if they go about things quietly and without any fanfare, the masses will soon forget about their crimes and treasonous behaviour (many Australians will have news for our own traitors - we will never forget or forgive).

Whereas, in the US, those similar humanoids exist for one thing and one thing only - the promotion and perpetuation of The Vaccine Lie and boosting their masters' bottom lines and agendas. Without vaccines and the countless side-effect industries, these footsoldiers, e.g. at the FDA and CDC and the plethora of 'academies'; med schools; professional 'Colleges'; journals; the msm etc. etc. will be severely impacted, cease, or worse, if pharma loses their risk free cashcow!

Agree. You either retreat quietly and hope people forget, or you scream bloody murder…. The US has chosen the latter.

Thanks for your excellent article. But, if I can say, Sweden and UK are not Europe. It seems to me that other Eu countries (namely, Germany, Italy, France and Spain) have not made significant progress. In Italy, a fierce war has broken out between representatives of the new government and “institutional science”, simply because the Health Minister just included 2 (out of 22) non-aligned scientists in the Italian Acip ( Nitag vaccines Committee). The minister had to cancel these nominations.

Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go to change the vaccination culture and mindset in the West. In the national newspaper where I write as journalist (La Verità) we are doing what we can to inform public opinion.

Thanks Maddalena, there are actually other European countries which I don’t mention but this NEJM article has the list https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929

In Australia under 2025 Covid vaccine rules only 9% of popn can have 6 monthly vaccine (only Pfizer Comirnaty) and 71% can have 12 monthly. Moderna Spikevax isn’t an option despite the government funding a Moderna mRNA manu facility in Melbourne in 2021 not one COVID vax has been produced. Novavax not on approved list.

We can only hope that Trump and RFK Jr putting the heat on Pfizer etc to prove their jabs are 'safe and effective' will cause the spotlight to also shine on the TGA and the other rabid jab pushers here.

Europe vaccine transparency is rather interesting

🔴ChatGPT🔴

• During the COVID‑19 pandemic in 2021, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen engaged in private text exchanges with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla as the EU negotiated one of the biggest vaccine deals—up to 1.8 billion doses of the Pfizer‑BioNTech vaccine, valued at roughly €35 billion.  

• A transparency battle ensued: The New York Times requested access to these messages under EU freedom-of-information laws—but the Commission refused, arguing the messages weren’t official documents and may not even exist. 

• In May 2025, the EU General Court ruled in favor of The New York Times, stating that the Commission failed to give a plausible explanation for the non-disclosure or claimed non-possession of these messages. The court demanded a more detailed explanation and revoked the Commission’s earlier refusal. 

• The decision has been widely seen as a significant rebuke of the Commission’s opacity in vaccine procurement and has been labeled the “Pfizergate” affair

The reason we are lagging behind Sweden, Denmark, the UK and the EU is because of people like the very vocal Daskalalis. They are nothing more than ideologues being paid by big Pharma. If he is a satanist as has been claimed by the damning pictures and articles, he needs to be far away from any decisions made about vaccines and, especially, children. Demons do exist.

I am disgusted with the willful blindness of the CDC and public health. With the adjuvants, excipients, and adventitious agents in vaccines being unproven and the significant lack of knowledge of how human immunity functions, they do not want to know or do not care. It is an ideology just like the COVID fanatics who are still wearing masks and saying there were no other options during March 2020-2023 when most people just wanted to get back to their normal lives.

I have today received communication from the Hatchard Report citing a study, done in Italy, that indicates the horrific increase in the incidence of cancers for those who took just one covid jab, against the unvaccinated.

The report is published by the Journal of Experimental and Clinical Sciences and is called "Covid 19 vaccination all-cause mortality and hospitalisation for cancer: 30 month cohort study in an Italian province"

The percentage increases are huge, ranging from 54% to 105% across specific cancers.

Thus how can those ex CDC idiots raise their heads above the parapet and dispute the accusations that have been tabled against them?

Thank you Maryanne. The stronghold pharma and investors have, particularly in the States over regulatory agencies is so detrimental it should be labeled a crime. The American media is supporting RFK’s removal. Unfortunately, people have swallowed pharma’s propaganda and are not open to another strategy . It worries me that Bourla is dangling the Nobel prize for trump with Operation Warp speed which appeals to trumps ego. We need trump to support RFK. There were endless lies pumped out about these shots that the powers have had to censor the injuries to support their safe and effective narrative, so the public is not receiving the true picture, the truth. It’s frustrating to watch them all spew anger over something they think they know all about, not realizing they’re being conned.

The "elephant in the room" here is the confusion about the definition of a COVID "case."

Being HIV+ve does not usually mean you automatically fit criteria for AIDS

Similarly being +ve at a high cycle threshold for covid-19 PCR test was not considered evidence you were a "case" If you had no symptoms before 2020. Repeat testing indicating a falling cycle threshold was necessary.

Again, the evidence that asymptomatic PCR+ve "carriers" could easily transmit the virus was grossly exaggerated in the early stages of the emergency.

I had a positive Mantoux test when I was a child. It didn't mean I had TB.

This comment from Dr. Paul Offit summarizes previous US policy quite well:

Q&A: Why the U.S. Is an Outlier on COVID Vaccines for Kids

Experts weigh in on why the U.S. departs from its peers in recommending COVID-19 boosters for young children.

"I think that the reason the U.S. broadly recommends [Covid] boosters for children is because we think that a nuanced recommendation – meaning targeting high-risk groups – is a garbled recommendation, and the best way to get those high-risk groups vaccinated is to recommend the vaccine for everyone."

There you have it folks. This is also precisely why we vaccinate for Hepatitis B, a disease almost exclusively contracted through shared drug needles or sexual contact, at birth, and require the vaccine for school entry even though it is not transmitted in a school setting. As the CDC explained decades ago, “Babies are accessible”.
