Thank you so much for that lucid outline/framework of your articles on the vaccines! And bless you for all your hard work! I'm a physicist, used statistics in the first area I worked in as a new hire at NASA, brittle fracture analysis. It was surprising how little people wanted to deal with stats, when that discipline can be used like a lamp to show what's happened and the way forward. To find your substack has been wonderful. Thanks again

I started investigating the history of both infectious diseases and the products designed response to them, in 2015. Dozens of long-time-held internalized assumptions have had to be retired since then. J.J. Couey refers to "immuno-mythology" in terms of popular assumptions/partial understandings/outright inventions related to SARS-CoV2 and human immune system function. I would say there is a corollary to it related to every infectious disease for which we vaccinate. The misunderstandings have lead to wonderfully profitable arrangements for pharma, and possibly negative overall health impacts for many of us told that there is no downside to indiscriminate and ever-increasing vaccine product use. Currently, many vaccine product safety information holes exist where robust research should long ago have been provided. Conflicts of interest also currently prevail in agencies tasked w/approving and recommending such products. One of the best documents through which to begin to understand the dimensions of the COI and holes problem, is a deposition of one of vaccinology's long-time leading lights: Dr. Stanley Plotkin. It occurred in the process of a court case in 2018, and it is worth reading slowly and carefully and completely (yes, its long). https://www.scribd.com/document/389327361/1-11-18-Matheson-Plotkin
