Covid Jabs and the Prevention of Transmission: The Science which Piers Morgan Conveniently Ignored
Introduction
Morgan is furiously back-pedalling on his previous enthusiastic endorsement of a policy of barring the unvaccinated from civil society, removing their human rights and basically treating us like lepers.
He took firm views based upon, he tells us, his beliefs, “one of which” was, “when the vaccines first came along that they would stop transmission”. Well, Morgan, you might have believed that, along with numerous (wilfully or otherwise) uninformed others, but it was not the case in actuality. You took your ignorant beliefs into the public arena and abused your high profile media position, in order to advocate an extremely damaging apartheid policy against the unvaccinated and furthermore endorse the introduction of Nazi-style ‘papers please’ fascist vaccine passports in the UK. Now you think you can justify a complete reversal of your beliefs by claiming that you were innocently ‘following the science’ and the evidence and that it is “perfectly logical” for you to change your mind now that the facts have changed.
Not going to happen Morgan. I’m here to forensically dismantle your ill-begotten belief in your own righteousness and your superstitious belief in vaccine pseudoscience. I’m here to expose you as the knee-jerk fascist that you are. My only regret is that so few people will read this in comparison to those who took note of your mainstream media voiced effluent. You were rightfully pilloried for your ignorant views at the time, but many other gullible, ignorant people and lesser known knee-jerk fascists would have been emboldened by your hateful rants against those who merely exercised their human right to refuse an experimental medical intervention. Those people would have gone on to persecute and marginalise unvaccinated family members, friends, neighbours and work colleagues.
So firstly, even if your belief that the ‘vaccines’ being rolled out did in fact stop transmission was correct, you still had no right to demand that those who chose not to get vaccinated were excluded from society. Why? This is why:
The ‘vaccines’ were experimental, absurdly expedited in the space of just a few months, authorised for emergency use only, and not extensively tested.
The vast majority of the population were not at risk of severe disease or death from Covid-19. It was a nasty cold, causing or contributing to the deaths of a tiny sub-section of the population, that being the very elderly and people with existing co-morbidities. It was not the bloody Plague or Spanish Flu!
Infection-acquired immunity was, and is, real, and is at least equal to, probably superior to vaccination.
The ‘vaccine’ was rolled out to the vulnerable first, in order to protect them from the serious consequences of infection.
Thus, considering the above, there was never any real public health justification for a mass vaccination campaign. Aggressively coercing the entire population to get jabbed with an experimental vaccine where full, informed consent could never, by definition, be obtained, and in particular where cheap, effective prophylactic treatments (like HCQ and IVM) existed, was in direct contravention of the Nuremberg Code, even in the case where transmission would supposedly have been stopped.
Points 1-5 alone mean that Morgan was acting as a knee-jerk medico-fascist Nazi at the time. But it gets worse; Morgan’s extremely shaky moral justification for his previous behaviour and his subsequent “perfectly logical” rejection of that historical stance is shot to pieces by an examination of the facts. Not only is he a knee-jerk fascist, he is a wilfully ignorant knee-jerk fascist. I say wilful because, given his position of influence, it was his responsibility at the time to check carefully that what he was saying to the public was based on up to date information and facts. He didn’t do that (one charitably assumes), for whatever reason we can only speculate. But in not doing that, he was criminally negligent.
The Science
As early as February 2021, Morgan was mouthing off about his love of the idea of vaccine passports and his excitement at the prospect of ‘anti-vaxxers’ being denied entry to public venues.
Everywhere. Even shops. Covid dissidents and vaccine refuseniks could starve for all he cared. Clearly, he believed at this point that the ‘vaccine’ was the magic bullet which meant that the jabbed were ‘clean’ and could mix freely in society, safe in the knowledge that they would not transmit the deadly SARS Cov-2 virus. Conversely, the unjabbed were the ‘unclean’ who must be forced to hide in the shadows lest they infect responsible, upstanding citizens with the deadly Covid plague. This is Mediaeval style superstition and not based on any science or evidence available at the time. The Pfizer and Astra Zeneca trials, conducted prior to emergency use authorisation, were not designed to demonstrate effectiveness in reducing transmission, only effectiveness in reducing symptomatic infection. This was common knowledge at the time. Morgan only had to check.
He might also have taken note of some very worrying warning signs which emerged very soon after the jabs were rolled out in nursing homes in early 2021, in Britain and across the world as it turned out. In January 2021, I wrote about the concerning uptick in ‘Covid deaths’ at nursing homes soon after the residents were vaccinated, sometimes resulting in a shocking third to a half of all residents succumbing to the disease and dying. If the injections prevented transmission and reduced serious illness then why was the virus spreading like wildfire in nursing homes and killing large numbers of residents?
It wasn’t just in the UK either. The same thing was happening in America and Europe; elderly residents dropping dead ‘from Covid outbreaks’ soon after getting vaccinated.
The week after gobby Piers posted his ill-informed rant on Twatter , there was still no definitive answer on whether the genetic ‘vaccines’ could stop or even significantly reduce transmission, even though two studies were published which purportedly demonstrated that they did in fact reduce transmission. Wired took up the story:
This week, two new studies—neither of which have yet gone through peer review—made splashy headlines about the extent to which vaccines slash viral spread. The first, a leaked manuscript first reported by Israeli news site Ynet before being covered by MIT Technology Review, Bloomberg, The Financial Times, and Vox, found that two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s shot drove an 89.4 percent drop in infections—both symptomatic and asymptomatic—among vaccinated people in Israel. Though they did not directly measure transmission, the study’s authors—researchers from the Israel Ministry of Health, Hebrew University, and Pfizer—stated in the abstract that the Pfizer vaccine “was highly effective in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections.” Subsequent news coverage hailed it as the first evidence from the real world that the vaccine could strongly suppress spread of the virus. But scientists not associated with the study say that was an overstatement. (Indeed, Bloomberg later updated its story to include such criticisms, though not the headline.)
The second report, a preprint posted on The Lancet Monday, blew that glimmer of good news into a bigger flame. It described a Public Health England study of health care workers in the United Kingdom who’d received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and who were tested every 14 days for Covid-19. The study found that in addition to making people less likely to get sick from the coronavirus—no surprise there—the vaccine sliced the risk of the recipient getting infected, period. By how much? Vaccinated health care workers were 72 percent less likely at 21 days after the first dose, and 86 percent 7 days after the second dose. The logical jump here is that a vaccinated person has far fewer chances to spread the virus, since the shot reduces the odds they’ll ever be carrying it around. “We provide strong evidence that vaccinating working age adults will substantially reduce asymptomatic and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and therefore reduce transmission of infection in the population,” the study authors concluded.
But the design of the study left quite a lot to be desired:
While this study was better controlled, Topol says testing every two weeks still isn’t frequent enough to catch new infections. “It’s really got to be daily,” he says. Those kinds of experiments are much harder and costlier to do. But both Pfizer and Moderna are reportedly working on them right now, with data rumoured to drop sometime in the next few weeks. (A Pfizer spokesperson declined to confirm that timeline or provide any details until data from a study has been published. Moderna did not respond to an emailed request for more information.)
So, you see, even after Morgan was asserting that the ‘vaccines’ prevented transmission, enough to introduce ‘vaccine passports’, enough to warrant banning the unvaccinated from every public venue and treating us basically like unclean Lepers, the jury was still very much out on whether the ‘vaccines’ prevented transmission or not. As it happens, the scientific case for saying they did didn’t get much better after that and in fact quite a few published studies suggested that the jabbed were just as likely or even more likely to transmit the virus than the unjabbed. This is now not a matter of debate, with even the CDC admitting that the Covid ‘vaccines’ do not prevent infection and it was wrong of them to give the public the impression that they did.
Even if the jabs didn’t prevent transmission outright, the assumption was that they reduced the viral load in vaccinated individuals and therefore made them less likely to transmit the virus. Nice theory, except in July 2021, a study carried out in very highly vaccinated Wisconsin, USA, demonstrated that viral loads of the delta variant in the jabbed were the same as those in the unjabbed:
SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.617.2 (delta) is associated with higher viral loads [1] and increased transmissibility relative to other variants, as well as partial escape from polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies [2]. The emergence of the delta variant has been associated with increasing case counts and test-positivity rates, indicative of rapid community spread. Since early July 2021, SARS-CoV-2 cases in the United States have increased coincident with delta SARS-CoV-2 becoming the predominant lineage nationwide [3]. Understanding how and why the virus is spreading in settings where there is high vaccine coverage has important public health implications. It is particularly important to assess whether vaccinated individuals who become infected can transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others. In Wisconsin, a large local contract laboratory provides SARS-CoV-2 testing for multiple local health departments, providing a single standard source of data using the same assay to measure virus burdens in test-positive cases. This includes providing high-volume testing in Dane County, a county with extremely high vaccine coverage. These PCR-based tests provide semi-quantitative information about the viral load, or amount of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, in respiratory specimens. Here we use this viral load data to compare the amount of SARS-CoV-2 present in test-positive specimens from people who self-report their vaccine status and date of final immunization, during a period in which the delta variant became the predominant circulating variant in Wisconsin. We find no difference in viral loads when comparing unvaccinated individuals to those who have vaccine “breakthrough” infections. Furthermore, individuals with vaccine breakthrough infections frequently test positive with viral loads consistent with the ability to shed infectious viruses. Our results, while preliminary, suggest that if vaccinated individuals become infected with the delta variant, they may be sources of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to others.
Did Morgan change his mind about the unvaccinated after reading this? No, of course he didn’t. He went with the prevailing hysterical discriminatory narrative and continued to pile hatred and derision upon those ‘anti-vaxxers’ who wisely chose not to get injected with an experimental gene therapy which was proving to be both uniquely dangerous and ineffective. Only now, over one year later, has he finally recanted because the evidence against the ‘vaccines’ stopping transmission and for them causing untold harm has become so overwhelming it’s impossible even for the cult followers of Covid pseudoscience to deny.
Did he change his mind when in August 2021, it was revealed that Delta was transmitted very easily between Vietnamese health care workers and was associated with very high viral loads? No.
Between 11th–25th June 2021 (week 7–8 after dose 2), 69 healthcare workers were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. 62 participated in the clinical study. 49 were (pre)symptomatic with one requiring oxygen supplementation. All recovered uneventfully.
Complete-genome sequences were obtained. They all belonged to the Delta variant, and were phylogenetically distinct from the contemporary Delta variant sequences obtained from community transmission cases, suggestive of ongoing transmission between the workers. Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020. There was no correlation between vaccine-induced neutralizing antibody levels and viral loads or the development of symptoms.
Interpretation: Breakthrough Delta variant infections are associated with high viral loads, prolonged PCR positivity, and low levels of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies, explaining the transmission between the vaccinated people.
Our study provided strong evidence demonstrating for the first time the transmission between vaccine breakthrough cases infected with the Delta variant.
The gobby Good Morning expert vaccinologist/epidemiologist didn’t even change his mind when the WHO admitted in September 2021 that the ‘vaccines’, by their very nature, were systemic, inducing antibody resistance in the body, but could not induce sterilising mucosal immunity against an airborne respiratory virus whose first mode of entry was via the nasal passages or other mucosal membranes. I wrote about this in December 2021:
The WHO say:
The evidence just kept mounting up, especially with the advent of Omicron Ba.1, Ba.4 and Ba.5 sub-variants against which the vaccines were totally ineffective, even as regards to preventing hospitalisation and death. It is just fortunate that Omicron is a lot less dangerous than its predecessor Delta, but the jabbed have still been going down with cold symptoms all throughout spring and summer 2022. Meanwhile, the unvaccinated, with intact innate immune systems and robust, broad spectrum and probably long term natural immunity to SARS-CoV-2 from previous exposure are doing fine, no thanks to Morgan and others who tried to get them banished from society for their responsible, informed choice.
Update 15 Oct 2022
I found this on Gab via @BeachMilk. It proves that Pfizer were promoting mass vaccination as early as January 2021 based on the lie of preventing transmission and achieving herd immunity.
A number of prominent people are apparently now reversing their positions at the 'speed of science' as reality has reared its uncomfortable head. Piers Morgan is just another of the useful idiots. Expect an honour for him in the New Year's list!
Very well said and laid out!
