*Here's the headline of the lead story in Tuesday's New York Times.* Click on the link, **and * *read that article about the "promising early results" of Moderna's test of its coronavirus* *vaccine. *
*Then read the commentary (just below) that Robert Kennedy, Jr. **posted yesterday on * *Instagram (the only "social media" forum he's allowed to use in this "democracy"). * *From reading both those pieces, you will learn that "America's newspaper of record" * *is as reliable** an outlet as Pravda under Stalin, or the Frankfurter Zeitung under Dr.* *Goebbels. Just note the discrepancy between the Times' upbeat reference * *to **the * *"8 healthy volunteers" participating (and doing really well!) in Moderna's test, **and * *the "15 **human guinea pigs" subjected to it—three of whom (to continue quoting * *Kennedy, **who quotes Moderna's press release) **"suffered a 'serious adverse event' * *within 43 days **of receiving Moderna's jab."* *How long can this go on, before even that newspaper's most devoted readers **see * *that it's every bit as credible as Donald Trump? * *MCM * **That's the online headline. The headline in the paper paper: "Vaccine's Early* *Test Result Elevates Hopes and Stocks." * Moderna Coronavirus Vaccine Trial Shows Promising Early Results The company said a test in 8 healthy volunteers found its experimental vaccine was safe and provoked a strong immune response. It is on an accelerated timetable to begin larger human trials soon. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/18/health/coronavirus-vaccine-moderna.html *https://www.instagram.com/p/CAWpmL6nhc_/?igshid=1p3krqqrzyr84* <https://www.instagram.com/p/CAWpmL6nhc_/?igshid=1p3krqqrzyr84> *Despite Moderna’s cheery press release [Monday] morning, the clinical trial results for its groundbreaking * *COVID vaccine could not be much worse. **The vaccine, developed and championed by Anthony Fauci * *and financed by Bill Gates, used an experimental MRNA technology that the two **men hoped would allow * *rapid deployment to meet President Trump’s ambitions “warp speed” time line. Dr Fauci was so confident * *of his shot’s **safety that he waived ferret and primate studies. (Moderna suspiciously reported no health * *data from its mouse studies.) * *That appears to have been a mistake. Three of the 15 human guinea pigs in the high dose cohort (250 mcg)* *suffered a “serious adverse event” **within 43 days of receiving Moderna’s jab. Moderna did not release its * *clinical trial study or raw data, but its press release,which was freighted **with inconsistencies, acknowledged * *that three volunteers developed Grade 3 systemic events defined by the FDA as “Preventing daily activity **and * *requiring medical intervention." Moderna allowed only exceptionally healthy volunteers to participate in the * *study. A vaccine with those **reaction rates could cause grave injuries in 1.5 billion humans if administered * *to “every person on earth”. That is the threshold that Gates has **established for ending the global lockdown.* *Moderna did not explain why it reported positive antibody tests for only eight participants. These **outcomes * *are particularly disappointing because the most hazardous hurdle for the inoculation is still ahead: challenging * *participants with **wild COVID infection. Past attempts at developing COVID vaccines have always faltered at * *this stage, as both humans and animals achieved **robust antibody response, then sickened and died when * *exposed to the wild virus. * *Moderna’s press announcement heralded “Positive Interim **Phase 1 findings.” I have forwarded that claim to * *my colleagues in securities law. FTC rules restrict the amount of lipstick public companies **may slather on * *bad donkeys.* -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
