I just saw this story at TGP: Renowned Oncologist Sends Urgent Letter Calling to End COVID Vaccine Program Immediately as Cancers and other Diseases Are Rapidly Progressing in ‘Boosted’ People The doctor’s name is Angus Dalgleish. This is his letter as published in the
It seems to me that what is missing from Dalgleish's warning is a full understanding and consideration of the possible benefits of vaccination. Just because a vaccine has potential side effects, including deadly side effects, doesn't mean that public health authorities shouldn't recommend it.
Let's say testing shows that a vaccine for Novel Gorilla Flu will reduce the mortality rate for the disease from 1 in 1000 to 1 in 10,000, but will kill 5 in 100,000. In this hypothetical 90 lives in 100,000 will be saved if there is universal vaccination, but 5 in 100,000 will be lost, which otherwise would not be.
Should public health authorities be permitted to mandate vaccination in the belief that saving a net of 85 lives in 100,000 is a public good? Or should they be prevented from mandating vaccination because they know in advance that 5 in 100,000 lives will be lost which otherwise would not be?
If the authorities decline to mandate vaccination, perhaps only 1/2 the population will decide to take the vaccine, resulting in 100 deaths out of 100,000 in the unvaccinated 1/2 of the population, with only 5 lives saved. In the vaccinated 1/2 of the population only 15 lives out of 100,000 will be lost.
Who makes this choice? Anthony Fauci? Public health authorities? Governors? Legislatures? Individual doctors? Individuals who are informed of the odds? Individuals who are not informed? Blog post readers?
My hypothetical is simplistic. The ethical considerations become far more complex when risk of transmission in vaccinated and unvaccinated persons is factored in, or when the possible benefits of natural immunity and herd immunity or the risk of re-infection are considered. Or when the possible benefits and detriments of alternative strategies such as masks, lockdowns, social distancing or quarantining are considered. Or when risk of death for different age groups or co-morbidities are factored in.
And then there is the ethical precept of 'Primum non nocere': first, do no harm. The ethical rules are not straight forward when an action carries risk, but a non-action may carry more risk.
I mention all of the foregoing largely to remind myself that the decisions made by governments and public health authorities and doctors and individuals over the past almost three years were not easy ones, and may have even been justified, even if they may have turned out to be wrong in some cases. And I mention the foregoing as one who after taking the first two Moderna jabs (primarily to go to a wedding, not because I wanted to) has steadfastly declined to be jabbed again.
Sadly this information rarely, if ever, gets out into the mainstream. Fauci and his crew will sail off into the sunset, pensions and reputations assured, with little to no serious accounting for what they've done. Sure, he gets made a tad uncomfortable at times but, otherwise...nothing.
I have to laugh when I read stories elsewhere that sound something like, "I can't wait for him to testify under oath, blah, blah..." What a joke. Little Tony will get up there and claim, "I don't recall", "I can't remember". He'll rip off the entire panoply of excuses people like Hillary and Billy Bulger (of Massachusetts fame) always trot out with the complete understanding that nothing is ever going to happen to them. We out here in America may think guys like Fauci should pay a steep price but, the people they consort with believe them to be pseudo-gods. They travel amongst an "elite" that maintains a level of bulletproof that cops and soldiers can only dream of.
If - and I do mean IF - they are ever held to account, it is only because they went against the elite orthodoxy. In such cases they usually end up hanging from a jail cell ceiling in a "suicide" and what remains of any reputation is hustled down the memory hole like a Stalin lackey, wiped from the earth in both form and substance. Sorry to be so cynical but I'm creeping up on 60 years of age and my BS meter is more finely tuned every day.
I will not be receiving more vaccines for ANYTHING, with one exception, if I am exposed to a possibly rabid animal I will definitely take THAT vaccine. The rabies vaccine prevents a universally fatal disease, so the benefit outweighs the risk. No other vaccines that I'm aware of pass that test !!!
I was required to take many vaccines during 9 years of service in the TXANG:
SEP1981 INFLUENZA TRI/VAL, ADENOVIRUS GP 4&7, MENINGOCOCCAL GP. C, TD#1
The evidence continues to pile up, doesn't it. I can't understand, then, how our local newspapers usually owned by Gannet Publishing, continue to carry articles written by doctors, nurses, government officials who urge people to 'get that booster' or vaccine to prevent Covid.

I have been intending to get a booster shot. My wife refuses to do so.
I will have to think about the booster some more.

My primary care doctor is a dirty liar.
What a brave man! There are plenty of them out there, and the tide seems to be turning - slowly!
