Is the J&J trial's randomization credible when 96 placebo recipients "terminated prematurely", but only 49 vaccine recipients did (Fig. S3)? https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa2101544/suppl_file/nejmoa2101544_appendix.pdf

Oddly, these are almost the same numbers as the people who withdrew from the Pfizer trial after dose 2 (95 vs 48, see Fig. 1). https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577

Edit: As Tom suggests below, unblinding errors probably explain the imbalance. I've heard elsewhere that trial participants sometimes figure out which group they are in, and placebo recipients are more likely to withdraw. The odd coincidence of Pfizer and J&J withdrawal numbers (one less per study arm) remains.

I fear that I'll never get the answers to the most pressing questions I have- Was this all really just about the money (short term profit and collecting safety and mechanism data to unlock a new generation of mRNA products)? How did the entirety of the FDA, CDC, NIH, NHS and other foreign health authorities (seemingly) get captured, and how did they all continue to play along once the data began to come in? How did those agencies and medical professionals lose sight of basic facts about respiratory viruses, as they pertain to masks, spread and inefficacy of vaccines? How did medical professionals in Western nations go along with treatment recommendations that asked them to throw out what they know, give dangerous treatments and refuse to try safe alternatives? How did the media fall in line with these narratives so easily? The level of capture and coordination involved here defies all understanding of mankind. Western nations are free from the kind of totalitarian rule that would push everyone into lock step because their family would be killed otherwise. I can attribute some to greed, some to mass psychosis, some to incompetence, some to ass covering.... but all of them in perfect concert? Where are the whistle blowers from these agencies?

I am just rambling at this point, and I know my need for closure will (likely) never be fulfilled, but I can't stop asking these questions. I need to try and make sense of the world, or this Matrix we are in...

Mathew, you are a master educator. Reading your work is actually thrilling. Thank you for all you do. It is critical.

Trying to rationalize any of this has been a ridiculous task. It was Trump after all that spearheaded the warp-speed development of vaccines and within a poisonous politicization of medicine the Dems still managed to get fully behind the vaccines touted by their nemesis Trump.

That double standard: when they automatically rejected HCQ also touted by Trump tells you everything you need to know about how corrupt our healthcare systems have become.

There had never been a successful vaccine for coronavirus previously and yet we were led to believe that X number came along all at the same time and they were all highly effective. I instinctively knew the RCTs were a fraud from that point.

The biggest problem with all of this from my point of view is that is has normalized GMO in general. Previously in Europe we had been highly resistant to GMO technology in agriculture and elsewhere. Now after this global GMO vaccination project the argument will be - how can you object to GMO in agriculture and all other spheres when you willingly had the tech injected straight into you body?

The floodgates are now open to GMO 'science' which is steeped in a hubris that holds itself equivalent with the knowledge of a divine creator which can design and control everything to perfection. Such 'science' always suppresses the side effects and accidents of it Frankenstein interventions with the criminal defence of "who could ever have anticipated X happening". The answer: all those dissenters who were marginalized and cancelled in the great debate.

"The primary weakness is that the follow-up time is short."

The short followup means that all-cause mortality will be undercounted for vaccines. This applies both to direct damage from vaccines (likely autoimmune diseases) and waning immunity to covid.

I loved your interview with Steve Kirsch. Thank you.

Am I out of line to suggest America is the one country that might put up a counter-weight fight against WHO/WEF/Fauci&Co plans to get the whole world on a bi-monthly multi-booster regime? And that is why the mind phuckery is thickest here? All of it as a generalized plan to "orderly" draw down global population?

Thanks so much for the information. I feel less isolated reading what you've written. Confirmation of my own gut feelings...I too feel, as other readers of yours that I cannot trust medicine... Been a long time coming "feeling" for me. If you don't listen to the whispers, they say, you'll get the screams. Worse situations pretty much saying "GET OUT OF THIS SYSTEM!" It's so obvious all around for those who open their eyes. I find myself so aggravated when others do not... especially family....Thank you so much again for your writing and research.

There doesn’t seem to be anything to the adenovirus all cause headline. 6 of the 8 extra placebo deaths were in the Jannsen trial. The authors declare random chance impossible because the trend is consistent (in that there are 2 extra deaths split between all non-Jannsen adenovirus placebo groups)? So the outlier is misconstrued as a trend. Pure farce.

Not a paid subscriber, so I'll add a comment here about the Dalai Lama. Every single celebrity and politician and journalist who goes to see him HAS TO PROVIDE A GIFT. And the DL gets a lot of visitors, so his staff has a handy guide of what to buy for the DL. And it's a lot of extremely expensive watches + techno gadgets. Definitely another weird aspect to this guy and what he's supposed to be selling (enlightenment, freedom from material desires, etc).

Canadian stats are also massaged to say that the gene jabs reduced all-cause mortality. It just does not make sense from any perspective.

The lead author of the study was recently interviewed on the UnHerd Youtube channel. Interesting lady. 30 years of research into non-specific effects from vaccines. They discuss this study on the program. https://youtu.be/o_nKoybyMGg She mentioned briefly older studies on the very positive affects to all cause mortality for the measles vaccines, 50%+, which surprised the researchers, and me. Based on her read of the data, she said she wouldn't have anyone over 50 vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines. And if she had kids in their 20s, they would receive no covid vaccine.

Do you think that based on the data that there is at least a slight beneficial effect on mortality in at risk groups. Meaning did it make sense for an elderly at risk person to get the shot.

In your opinion since the studies were clear that herd immunity was not possible with these shots and young healthy people were not at risk , why did the CDC and fauci and all the public health agencies push these things so hard . I mean i can understand these groups having strong opinions about whether they think people should take them or not. But the level of pressure and caution Reached fascist levels. I never thought in my life a 54 years as a practicing physician that I would live through something so disturbing and creepy. It’s like we went through a psychotic fascist episode

Mathew, I really appreciate your contributions knowing you had to work through a flood crisis; the devotion you show to helping us understand the facts at hand is exceptional and highly commendable- I will make a contribution to your site in some form. So glad you shared some personal background to your story. Blessings from Oregon...
