Earlier this year – on March 29, to be exact – Rachel Maddow, the host of a highly rated MSNBC cable nightly program, spent a considerable portion of her show extolling the purported efficacy of the vaccines. Maddow claimed, among other things, that there was evidence that vaccination protected against infection. She then declared that the vaccines were going to end the pandemic by stopping transmission. These are some of the claims she made that night:

“We know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person… What this means is that we can get there with vaccines. We can end this thing… A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus. The virus does not infect them. The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to get more people.

That means the vaccines will get us to the end of this. If we just go fast enough to get the whole population vaccinated. It`s huge news!”

Maddow’s claims were seconded by her guest on the show Rochelle Walensky. Dr Walensky, as you may know, is the director of the CDC and considered one of the nation’s top experts on infectious diseases. This is what Dr Walensky told Maddow that day:

“[W]e can kind of almost see the end. We`re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don`t get sick, and that it`s not just in the clinical trials but it`s also in real world data.”

At that time, the claims made by Maddow and Walensky were typical of what was being said by mainstream media journalists and public health officials.

There was, however, one problem with those claims. Almost all that was said on Maddow’s show that night regarding the vaccines was inaccurate and wrong. It was not true that the vaccines would protect against infection, stop transmission or end the pandemic. A few months later the truth was impossible to hide.

Fast forward to August 5 of this year. On that day Rochelle Walensky made a startling admission to CNN as she spoke with Wolf Blitzer on his program called The Situation Room. Referring to the vaccines, she said:

“What they can’t do anymore is to prevent transmission.”

This was a stunning confession from a woman who, barely four months before, had advertised the vaccines as the solution to the pandemic.

By spreading misinformation in the early stages of the vaccination drive, public health officials like CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, Dr Anthony Fauci and their collaborators in the mainstream media managed to deceive large segments of the citizenry and fuel a vaccine frenzy. The false narrative they promulgated took such a deep hold in the public psyche that many otherwise reasonable people were so desperate to get inoculated that they were willing to break the rules and jump the vaccine line at the expense of their more vulnerable and needy fellow citizens.

It now turns out that their rush to get jabbed was in vain. The vaccines never really protected them against the delta variant that became prevalent in the US in the first half of 2021. Moreover, many of those who got their shots earlier this year are for all practical purpose unvaccinated as the vaccine induced antibodies fade for most people within six months. Just ask the Israelis whose Covid passport have now expired even though they received a full course of Pfizer protocol earlier this year.

Worse yet, there is every reason to believe that the spreading of misinformation by people like Walensky, Fauci and other establishment experts concerning vaccine efficacy was intentional and deliberate. After all, they are experts in virology and as such they must have known that these vaccines could not but fail due to the tendency of this virus to mutate.

More than a month before Rochelle Walensky made her false claims on the Rachel Maddow show, we wrote the following:

“Here is the truth: It is not possible to devise an effective vaccine for the type of virus that causes COVID-19. Why?… Coronavirus is a type of virus that mutates widely and because of that it is impossible to come up with a vaccination protocol that would stop its spread. Every bona fide virologist knows this. And yet the public has not been advised of this. Quite to the contrary, this crucial information has been actively suppressed.”

These words appeared in in this outlet on February 13 of this year, more than six weeks before Walensky made her appearance with Maddow, where she falsely claimed that the vaccines stopped transmission.

We are not bringing this up because we want to receive a pat on the back. We point to it in hope of opening people’s eyes to the immense fraud that is being perpetrated on the American public by the vaccine lobby.

Even though what we wrote in this space ran completely contrary to the official narrative promulgated by the establishment experts and media at the time, our assessment turned out to be correct.

If this non-scientist, just by doing some honest research, could correctly foresee the inevitable failure of the vaccines to stop transmission, what of the experts? They must have known this all along. And yet they chose not to tell the truth but instead suppressed relevant information and engaged in pro-vaccine propaganda and misinformation.

Why did they do this?

Because they are shills for the pharma lobby and the companies that produce the vaccines. In case you didn’t know, an appreciable portion of CDC’s funding comes from the pharmaceutical industry. If you look at the donor list of the CDC Foundation, you will come across familiar names like Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca. One only wishes that Rachel Maddow would have asked CDC Director Rochelle Walensky some questions about a conflict of interest.

Rather than trying to be serious journalists, Rachel Maddow and her colleagues in the mainstream media function as mere propagandists for the Covid establishment and the money interests behind it. They are what Lenin used to call “useful idiots.”

The propaganda is still working since the establishment experts and their media mouthpieces are still in their jobs while the outlets that publish the truth are being slandered and targeted by Big Tech. Being censored on social media and downgraded by Google algorithms, the oligarchs in the Silicon Valley make it difficult for people to access the truth.

But all this is part of the alternative reality we live in these days.

Under the weight of evidence, the vaccine peddlers who have lied about the initial effectiveness of the vaccines were forced to change their tack. Now they claim that even though the vaccines do not stop transmission, they still protect against severe Covid or death. But this claim is as false as their original lie. We have called them out on this in the piece titled The Vaccines Do Not Stop Severe Covid or Death, which you can peruse at your convenience.
