Reflections on the Efficacy of mRNA Vaccines

The Controversial Efficacy of mRNA Vaccines

The respected editor of this platform has concluded that mRNA-based vaccines were seen as the solution to a problem by health and national security elites. They believed that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was the perfect opportunity to implement these vaccines. However, according to Jeffrey Tucker, their solution has been a spectacular failure. Others argue that the correlation between mRNA vaccines and rising all-cause excess mortality is so strong that causation is a likely assumption.

Defending the Success of Public Health Interventions

Despite these criticisms, there are those who still defend the efficacy of public health interventions. These proponents cite the severity and universality of the threat posed by Covid, and the public health benefits of the vaccines. For instance, the World Health Organisation estimated that nearly 15 million people died from Covid in 2020 and 2021, almost triple the official estimates. Other studies have suggested that Covid-19 vaccines have saved millions of lives and significantly reduced the global death toll.

Questioning the Claims of Vaccine Success

However, these claims of vaccine success have been met with skepticism. Critics argue that these estimates are based on abstract mathematical models and assumptions about infection rates and vaccine efficacy. They also note that many studies fail to consider immunity from natural infection, changes in individual behavior to reduce risk, and the variability of the virus's transmissibility and lethality. Furthermore, there are issues with how deaths are recorded and classified, and the rapid decline in vaccine efficacy over time.

Comparing Vaccine Efficacy Across Countries

When comparing the timing of peak Covid mortality rates and vaccination rates in four countries - Canada, the US, Australia, and New Zealand - interesting patterns emerge. In North America, mortality rates fell well before vaccination coverage reached 60 percent. In contrast, in Australasia, mortality rates peaked well after reaching 60 percent vaccination. This suggests that the vaccines may not be as effective as claimed, and that natural immunity from prior infection plays a critical role in controlling the pandemic.

Reevaluating the Role of Vaccines and Natural Immunity

In conclusion, the evidence from these four countries suggests that vaccines may have played a negligible role in ending the pandemic, and that natural immunity from prior infection was critical. This serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding and learning from our experiences with public health crises.

A Neutral Perspective
