FDA approves BA. 5 vaccine

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, amended the emergency use authorizations (EUAs),

of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine

to authorize bivalent formulations

BA.4 and BA.5 lineages of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.

Omicron booster shots, with lots of questions

United Kingdom has authorized Moderna Omicron subvariant BA.1

Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, have submitted data about their BA.4/BA.5 vaccines

Biden administration

Has already placed an order for 170 million doses

What do the new boosters contain?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) coding for the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2

Bivalent, Wuhan strain and BA.1 or BA.4 and BA.5 (which have identical spikes)

What sort of data have the companies collected?

Human data, only available BA.1 booster

BA.1 trails did not look for protection against severe disease, (People trials are very expensive)

For the BA.4/BA.5 boosters, the companies have submitted animal data.

(not released publicly)

Pfizer presented preliminary findings in eight mice given BA.4/BA.5 vaccines as their third dose, (for EMA)

Showed an increased antibody response to all Omicron variants tested: BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4, and BA.5.

Clinical trials for the BA.4/BA.5 vaccines will begin next month

Why still target the ancestral strain?

Probably for new variants, more polyclonal response

Still has some neutralising power against the new variants

If the benefits are limited, do we really need the new boosters?

Some scientists don’t think we do.

Paul Offit, vaccine researcher, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

COVID-19 vaccines still prevent the most severe outcomes

If the goal is to stop infections, even updated vaccines will have little impact

(Incubation period is too short)

(Measles or rubella, 2-week incubation period, so can stop spread)

even if 100% of the population were vaccinated,

and the virus hadn’t evolved at all,

vaccines would do very little to stop transmission

Efficacy of vaccines: content claiming that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease

Claims that any medication or vaccination is a guaranteed prevention method for COVID-19

The Biopharmaceutical Industry Provides 75% Of The FDA's Drug Review Budget. Is This A Problem?

Caroline Chen

the agency is beholden to the biopharmaceutical industry

Given this level of support, one might assume that the FDA would bend over backwards to meet the needs of its financial backers.

Caroline Chen ProPublica

Dr. Thomas Marciniak

(former FDA medical team leader)

You don’t survive as a senior official at the FDA unless you’re pro-industry

The FDA has to pay attention to what Congress tells them to do, and the industry will lobby to get somebody else in there if they don’t like you

Pfizer

has made nearly $26bn (£21bn) in revenues in the first three months of the year

Covid-19 vaccines and treatments

Expects record sales of $98bn to $102bn this year,

half of which will come from Covid products, Comirnaty and Paxlovid

prompting fresh accusations of pandemic profiteering.

AstraZeneca, Chief executive officer, Pascal Soriot

(27th August)

Most of the vaccinated population has a foundation immunity against severe disease

People who are otherwise healthy – especially if they are young, have been vaccinated, have had a boost already – boosting them again,

I’m just not sure it’s really a good use of resources.

Foundation immunity lasts, a long time, we don’t know if it’s one year, two years, three years.

I think more than one year for sure

On boosting people every year

I’m not sure it’s a really good use of money,

because most of the people now who catch it will just have symptoms if they get Covid, and that’s it

I would feel happier if Pharma CEOs tested it on themselves.

[chadthompson]

Right up their backsides is where this can

[mikemilton]

As a non participating observer I can say without any equivocation that my trust in all institutions has been completely destroyed.

[KristyTheRN]

Poor Dr. Campbell is getting frustrated. Thank God we have him. He is a very wonderful man. I'm a very frustrated registered nurse in NY. Much love ❤️

[tobyglyn]

Very carefully treading the fine line of censorship and cancellation while making sure we know what is really going on. Well done and thank you for your efforts!

[jono]

Very well done! Summarizing corruption and insanity in the most calm, polite, and collective tone!

During a vaccination season:
Patient: Does it guarantee immunity?
Doctor: Only for the manufacturers.

Your video has been a great source of comfort to me. It was so reassuring to learn that they used 8 mice as test subjects. If it had only been 6 I would heve been concerned about cost cutting taking precedence over genuine research.

[rainasuke]

In the United States, we also do not agree with or support the FDA being dependent on biopharma. We know that something having FDA approval doesn't mean anything because there is motive for corruption

[ukisardworld]

This man will be a hero one day. He definitely is on the GOOD SIDE. Well done sir. Highest respect for you.

[michelbaseotto]

It's time for the People to stand and stop this madness. Thank you for your update. you're the best.

[luigibizzarrro]

Thanks as ever Dr. Campbell, your candidness is essential and appreciated. Please keep up this good work

[ovidmccuistion]

If I recall at one there wasn't enough data and double blind studies to even allow Ivermectin to be considered, yet now you just need a few mice and a few billion dollars to be made and that is good enough. Thank you John, I watch all your videos and appreciate your perspective.

[jabba]

Finally Dr Campbell, its taken nearly 3 years but its good to see you have pieced everything together and/or no longer afraid to speak about it on your platfrom.

[terencemichaels]

One of your best John..relaxed, informative and not so subtly playing them at their own game.

[adriennebell]

Excellent presentation of the facts, dear Dr. Campbell. I particularly like that you speak to us, your audience presuming that we have brains, can think, reflect by ourselves. The governing bodies presume we are all fools

[JohnnyBrook]

Dr Campbell your subtle sense of humour is simply brilliant.

[masonstorm]

Bravo Dr Campbell you managed to get across your points without breaking you tube guidelines while also showing how biased the guidelines are .

[jnorth]

The sooner people wake up to the fact that they have been screwed - really well by the forces all known to us, the better. Let’s not sugarcoat what’s happened here, a crime against humanity has occurred and people need to speak up and defend themselves.

[darylbennett]

Dear Dr Campbell, My heart goes out to you and every person related to the United Kingdom with the news of the Queen passing. May you find the Peace that passes all understanding now and as the days go on. From across the pond and beyond.
