I'm not a vaccine expert, but I am a scientist. When the Japanese released a biodistribution study that showed that the vaccine migrated away from the injection site, and they faced a strong backlash, I knew something was amiss. So I held off.

Later, when one of my daughters who was pro-vaccine sent me the NEJM articles on the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, the case was sealed. Her argument was the prestige of NEJM. But both trials described how the control group had been vaccinated. I've been in medical research for a very long time and treating the control group is a mortal sin which invalidates everything else.

Modelling, as I so often told my students is the road to a fool's paradise. You cannot model what you don't understand.

And finally, the violation of the Nuremberg Code and Declaration of Helsinki. You cannot coerce anyone to take a drug that is not approved. The mRNA vaccines have never received FDA authorization, yet they were forced on people.

Great comment doc.

The scientific method was trashed from day one, and that was due to all of the animal trials that were so grim they could never even commence a single human trial.
