You know, when the COVID vaccine was approved, let's say Pfizer and Moderna, which was the most prominent COVID vaccines used in the United States, We were under this impression, and it was obviously fueled by all sorts of media, especially the legacy media, that it was going to be very protective, maybe 95% to 100% protective against infection, et cetera, et cetera.

And of course, that all ultimately proved to be false. But when the original trials were reanalyzed by independent scientists, and this was then published in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccine, which is the highest impact medical journal for vaccines, what they found is from the very beginning,

Megan, you were more likely to suffer serious harm from the COVID vaccine, mRNA vaccines, than you were to be hospitalized with COVID. And that serious harm rate in the trial was only a short-term harm, because I want to come on to long-term harms in a second. And that was a rate of about 1 in 800.

And that's on the most rigorous data, that's their own original trials where everything is supposed to be equal in terms of the participants who are in the placebo group, who don't get the vaccine, the ones who get the vaccine, same background, same age, etc. But when these trials are designed, and they were designed by the drug companies, so this is another problem.

You know, they design the trials, they control the data, they then give summary results to the regulator, the regulator then approves them. But of course, it's in the interest of the regulator to approve them if they're getting funding from Big Pharma. So it's a complete mess. That's just short term harms.

And then there was an interesting survey done in the United States, which was published in one of the major medical journals. I must say, though, later retracted, not because of error, but because of pressure, because of the media frenzy that happened as a result of it.

They did a survey in the United States that revealed, according to 57% of people surveyed, felt that they knew somebody, either they'd been severely injured or they knew someone that had died or been severely injured from the vaccine. They extrapolated from that and estimated there may have been in the first year of the COVID vaccine in the United States alone, Megan, 280,000 deaths.
