As calls for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination grow around the world, it's becoming ever more crucial to understand what these injections actually are. The mRNA "vaccines" created by Moderna and Pfizer are in fact gene therapies.
Interestingly enough, mainstream media, fact checkers and various industry front groups insist the gene therapy claim is bogus, even though every single detail about the vaccines shouts otherwise. Why are they spreading this disinformation? Why do they not want you to know what these injections actually are?
mRNA 'Vaccines' Fulfill None of the Criteria for a Vaccine
To start, let's take a look at some basic definitions of words. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a vaccine is:1
- "A product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease."
Immunity, in turn, is defined as:
- "Protection from an infectious disease," meaning that "If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected."
That's the medical definition. The legal definition, in the few cases where it has been detailed, is equally unequivocal:
- Iowa code2 — "Vaccine means a specially prepared antigen administered to a person for the purpose of providing immunity."
- Washington state code3,4 — "Vaccine means a preparation of a killed or attenuated living microorganism, or fraction thereof …" The statute also specifies that a vaccine "upon immunization stimulates immunity that protects us against disease ..."
These definitions, both medical and legal, present problems for mRNA "vaccines," since:
- mRNA injections do not impart immunity. Moderna and Pfizer both admit that their clinical trials aren't even looking at immunity. As such they do not fulfill the medical and/or legal definition of a vaccine.
- They do not inhibit transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection. As such they do not fulfill the medical and/or legal definition of a vaccine.
