How Many Shots Does It Take?

In an interview with CBS News, Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, now says a fourth shot of his company’s product is necessary.

Two months earlier, back in January, the Pfizer CEO was again speaking in his own cause, this time asserting that a third shot was necessary—and he did this after admitting that Pfizer’s necessary two-dose regimen was not effective at stopping infections involving a variant. However, a third shot of his company’s product, Bourla asserted, will offer “reasonable protection against hospitalization and death.”

Here, Bourla echoed the CDC director, Rochelle Walensky, who, back in August, said basically the same thing during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer:

“Our vaccines are working exceptionally well. They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death—they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.” (https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/health/us-coronavirus-thursday/index.html)

Clearly, the narrative has shifted. The so-called vaccines cannot prevent infection or transmission. They only offer “reasonable protection against hospitalization and death”—whatever “reasonable” means in the mind of Bourla.

But that is not what we were told, initially. That is not how these experimental mRNA shots were sold to the public.

We were told that by taking these “vaccines” we would be able to stop the spread of the virus and end the pandemic. To this day, there are posters, billboards, and advertisements everywhere reminding us to “stop the spread” by getting the shot.

We were thus led to believe that these so-called vaccines would enable us to get back to normal—the “old normal.” (Although the “Safety First” Dictators have relaxed their grip on society, we are still not back to the old normal, as the Biden administration extended its mask mandate for all transportation networks.)

That was seemingly the forgone conclusion, which was promoted from almost the very beginning by the likes of Zeke Emanuel. Remember Zeke? Remember when he told us we had “no choice” but to stay locked down for twelve to eighteen months until there’s a vaccine?  (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/04/07/ezekiel_emanuel_us_must_stay_locked_down_for_12-18_months_until_theres_a_vaccine.html

Who is this guy?

Well, besides being the guy who somehow knew as early as April 6, 2020 that Americans had no choice but to stay locked down for twelve to eighteen months, Zeke is the current Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of President Biden’s COVID-19 Advisory Board. He is also the brother of Rahm Emanuel, former Mayor of Chicago and President Obama’s White House Chief of Staff.

Sound familiar?

Rahm is famous for saying “we” should never let a good crisis go to waste, because in a crisis there are opportunities to do things we wouldn’t be able to do under normal circumstances (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mzcbXi1Tkk).

(Of course, the “we” he refers to does not include you and me. By “we” he means the political elite. As the late, great George Carlin once said, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it!” (https://odysee.com/@LadySofia1:4/george-carlin-it’s-a-big-club-you-ain’t:b)

I mention this because Zeke, like his brother, perhaps sees opportunities in a crisis. And maybe—just maybe—he saw an opportunity in the hysteria he helped stoke with his dire warning to the public.

As an advisor to President Biden and coauthor of a paper entitled “A National Strategy for the ‘New Normal’ of Life with COVID,” Zeke is on the warpath against all things normal. (Recall that “normal” conditions are an obstacle to political elites who want to do things they normally wouldn’t get away with. That’s why there has to be a crisis, even when there really isn’t one.)

Even as COVID hysteria recedes and more and more people come to their senses, Zeke is setting the stage for aspiring biosecurity technocrats to block society’s full return to normal—and to do so permanently.

In the aforementioned paper, Zeke and his co-authors detail a scheme to entrench and extend the so-called new normal by declaring serial public health emergencies on the basis of a statistical manipulation designed to frighten the public into submission. The scheme is to aggregate the number of cases of all types of respiratory illness—including flu, pneumonia, COVID-19 variants, etc.—into a single statistic, and then establish a “peak week threshold,” a magic number beyond which an excess of cases would set in motion “policy recommendations for emergency implementation of mitigation measures.”

With this setup, biosecurity technocrats won’t have to wait around for a pandemic to come along in order to get emergency powers and federal funds galore. If Zeke has his way, they will soon have their own panic button to press. They’ll be able to manufacture a “crisis” at will. (Read all about it here; link to paper provided in the text: https://www.technocracy.news/wesley-j-smith-ezekiel-emanuel-is-pushing-for-permanent-medical-technocracy/.)    

But I digress… (Not really.)

The point I want to make is that these admissions by the CDC director and Pfizer CEO are just more evidence of a confidence game we’ve been following, a game in which we are the marks.

There’s a pattern of deception here.

Just as “fifteen days to flatten the curve” was the foot in the door for Safety First Dictators who seized the opportunity to impose extended lock-downs and other draconian mitigation measures—which ultimately proved ineffective, if not counterproductive—this “necessary” fourth mRNA shot appears to be another false promise in the making. (For details of counterproductive mitigation measures, see here https://mises.org/wire/johns-hopkins-study-lockdowns-only-reduce-mortality-02-percent).

If the first three shots did not work as promised, why should anyone have confidence in a fourth shot? When will the subjects of this experiment (the marks in this con job) wake up and draw the line? Will they draw the line at four shots, five shots, twelve shots?

How many shots does it take to get to the center of a Big Pharma boondoggle?  

—Objection! But the vaccines protect against hospitalization and death, Area Man.  

Reply: Perhaps, TV-watcher, although the extent to which these supposed benefits are offset by vaccine-related injuries and deaths remains to be seen (https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/the-cdc-knew-in-january-2021-that?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzk3Mzc5MSwicG9zdF9pZCI6NTA0NjY1OTgsIl8iOiJ6bisxTCIsImlhdCI6MTY0NzQ2ODEyNywiZXhwIjoxNjQ3NDcxNzI3LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNTQ4MzU0Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.lJnuXABJvVG1KgkQ7xGnnyqrQhRju9ax60IhV0KhM0s&s=r).

And, again, if that’s all these shots do, then they have failed to work as advertised. They did not stop the spread. They did not end the pandemic. This hardly inspires confidence in the self-interested parties and corporate shills promoting them.

Furthermore, do you know what else protects against hospitalization and death—and does a better job of it?

Natural immunity does. 

And now, finally, the CDC, too, admits this, albeit very quietly: 


Meanwhile, the scientific data have not changed. Healthy people—especially young, healthy people—remain at very low risk of experiencing severe illness or death. Healthy children continue to have virtually no risk.

Of all the people who stand to derive no benefit whatsoever from the experimental mRNA shots—shots that admittedly do not prevent infection—healthy children, especially, would seem to have the most to lose and very little, if anything, to gain from being made subjects in this ongoing experiment.

Of course, we still don’t know how “safe and effective” these shots really are, due to the limitations of the clinical trials and one observational study conducted in New York, as noted by Dr. Martin Kulldorff, former Harvard Medical School professor and coauthor the Great Barrington Declaration (https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=14072).

(There’s also the small matter of the CDC’s reluctance to find any safety signals in the government’s own vaccine safety database, VAERS. But I’m sure there’s nothing to see here: https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/the-cdc-knew-in-january-2021-that?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMzk3Mzc5MSwicG9zdF9pZCI6NTA0NjY1OTgsIl8iOiJ6bisxTCIsImlhdCI6MTY0NzQ2ODEyNywiZXhwIjoxNjQ3NDcxNzI3LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNTQ4MzU0Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.lJnuXABJvVG1KgkQ7xGnnyqrQhRju9ax60IhV0KhM0s&s=r.)

This is precisely why the Surgeon General of Florida, Dr. Ladapo, recommends that healthy children should not be exposed to risk unnecessarily by getting the COVID shot.  

But it’s all in good fun for the powers-that-be who now concede the shortcomings of the mRNA shots and the importance of natural immunity, however quietly:
