Covid-19 Vaccines Are Gene Therapy – LewRockwell

As calls for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination grow around the world, its becoming ever more crucial to understand what these injections actually are. The mRNA vaccines created by Moderna and Pfizer are in fact gene therapies.

As Ill explain below, theres simply no way around this, and drug manufacturers and public health officials must be made to admit this fact. Why? Because it makes all the difference in the world. You cannot mandate a gene therapy against COVID-19 any more than you can force entire populations to undergo gene therapy for a cancer they do not have and may never be at risk for.

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?

In short, they know labeling them as gene therapies would be like slapping a skull and crossbones label on them. Most people have enough common sense to realize that gene therapy is a different ballgame from a regular vaccination, and might be a bad idea, especially for children and younger individuals.

mRNA Vaccines Fulfill None of the Criteria for a Vaccine

To start, lets take a look at some basic definitions of words. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a vaccine is:1

Immunity, in turn, is defined as:

Thats the medical definition. The legal definition, in the few cases where it has been detailed, is equally unequivocal:

These definitions, both medical and legal, present problems for mRNA vaccines, since:

Dictionaries Attempt to Rewrite Medical Terms

Curing the Incurable: ... Levy, MD JD Thomas E Best Price: $22.60 Buy New $18.89 (as of 08:55 UTC - Details) We should not be fooled by attempts to condition the public to accept redefined terms. As of February 2019, Merriam-Webster defined5vaccine as a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease. By February 26, 2021, they had updated the definition of vaccine to:6

A preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the bodys immune response against a specific infectious disease:

a:an antigenic preparation of a typically inactivated or attenuated pathogenic agent (such as a bacterium or virus) or one of its components or products (such as a protein or toxin)

b:a preparation of genetic material (such as a strand of synthesized messenger RNA) that is used by the cells of the body to produce an antigenic substance (such as a fragment of virus spike protein)

Lets be clear. Merriam-Webster does not dictate medical terminology. It can be used, however, to confuse people. For now, all medical dictionaries still show the traditional definition of vaccine,7as Merriam-Webster did up until this year. That said, I would not be surprised if changes are made there as well, eventually, if the misrepresentation of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines is allowed to stand.

mRNA Therapy Doesnt Satisfy Public Health Measure Directive

Theres also the issue of whether a gene therapy can be mandated, and this may hinge on it being accepted as a vaccine. The 1905 Supreme Court ruling in Jacobson v. Massachusetts8essentially established that collective benefit supersedes individual benefit.

Put another way, the ruling argues (although legal experts diverge on some of the finer details of its interpretation) that its acceptable for some individuals to be harmed by a public health directive as long as it benefits the collective. However, if vaccination is a public health measure meant to protect and benefit the collective, then it would need to accomplish two things:

How to Live Longer and... Pauling, Linus Best Price: $3.99 Buy New $11.70 (as of 04:15 UTC - Details) Were now back to the original problem that mRNA therapies for COVID-19 do not accomplish either of these things. Since these gene therapies do not render the person immune, and do not inhibit transmission of the virus, they cannot qualify as a public health measure capable of providing collective benefit that supersedes individual risk.

On the contrary, the only one benefiting from an mRNA vaccine is the individual receiving the gene therapy, since all they are designed to do is lessen clinical symptoms associated with the S-1 spike protein.

In other words, they wont keep you from getting sick with SARS-CoV-2; they are only supposed to lessen your infection symptoms if or when you do get infected. So, getting vaccinated protects no one but yourself. Since youre the only one who will reap a benefit (less severe COVID-19 symptoms upon infection), the justification to accept the risks of the therapy for the greater good of your community is blatantly irrational.

Marketing mRNA Therapy as Vaccine Violates Federal Law

Since mRNA vaccines do not meet the medical and/or legal definition of a vaccine, referring to them as vaccines, and marketing them as such, is a deceptive practice that violates915 U.S. Code Section 41 of the Federal Trade Commission Act,10the law that governs advertising of medical practices.

The lack of completed human trials also puts these mRNA products at odds with 15 U.S. Code Section 41. Per this law,11,12it is unlawful to advertise that a product or service can prevent, treat, or cure human disease unless you possess competent and reliable scientific evidence, including, when appropriate, well-controlled human clinical studies, substantiating that the claims are true at the time they are made.

Heres the problem: The primary end point in the COVID-19 vaccine trials is not an actual vaccine trial end point because, again, vaccine trial end points have to do with immunity and transmission reduction. Neither of those was measured.

Whats more, key secondary end points in Modernas trial include prevention of severe COVID-19 disease (defined as need for hospitalization) and prevention of infection by SARS-CoV-2, regardless of symptoms.13,14However, Moderna did not actually measure rate of infection, stating that it was too impractical to do so.

That means theres no evidence of this gene therapy having an impact on infection, for better or worse. And, if you have no evidence, you cannot fulfill the U.S. Code requirement that states you must have competent and reliable scientific evidence substantiating that the claims are true.

Making matters worse, both Pfizer and Moderna are now eliminating their control groups by offering the real vaccine to any and all placebo recipients who want it.15The studies are supposed to go on for a full two years, but by eliminating the control group, determining effectiveness and risks is going to be near impossible.

What Makes COVID Vaccines Gene Therapy?

Alright. Lets move on to the definition of gene therapy. As detailed on MedlinePlus.govs What Is Gene Therapy page:16

Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease Researchers are testing several approaches to gene therapy, including: Introducing a new gene into the body to help fight a disease

Although gene therapy is a promising treatment option for a number of diseases (including inherited disorders, some types of cancer, and certain viral infections), the technique remains risky and is still under study to make sure that it will be safe and effective. Gene therapy is currently being tested only for diseases that have no other cures.

Here, its worth noting that there are many differenttreatments that have been shown to be very effective against COVID-19, so it certainly does not qualify as a disease that has no cure. It makes sense that gene therapy should be restricted to incurable diseases, as this is the only time that taking drastic risks might be warranted. That said, heres how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration defines gene therapy:17

Human gene therapy seeks to modify or manipulate the expression of a gene or to alter the biological properties of living cells for therapeutic use. Gene therapy is a technique that modifies a persons genes to treat or cure disease. Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms:

Replacing a disease-causing gene with a healthy copy of the gene

Inactivating a disease-causing gene that is not functioning properly

Introducing a new or modified gene into the body to help treat a disease

November 17, 2020, the American Society of Gene + Cell Therapy (ASGCT) announced COVID-19 Vaccine Candidates Show Gene Therapy Is a Viable Strategy, noting that:18

Two COVID-19 vaccine trials, both of which use messenger RNA (or mRNA) technology to teach the body to fight the virus, have reported efficacy over 90 percent.

These findings, announced by Moderna on Nov. 16 and by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech on Nov. 9 demonstrate that gene therapy is a viable strategy for developing vaccines to combat COVID-19.

Both vaccine candidates use mRNA to program a persons cells to produce many copies of a fragment of the virus. The fragment then stimulates the immune system to attack if the real virus tries to invade the body.

mRNA Deliver New Genetic Instructions

As explained in the ASGCTs video above, mRNA are molecules that contain genetic instructions for making various proteins. mRNA vaccines deliver a synthetic version of mRNA into your cells that carry the instruction to produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the antigen, that then activates your immune system to produce antibodies. Then theres Modernas trial website,19where they describe their technology thus: How Not To Die With Tr... Henriques, Tiago Best Price: $18.23 Buy New $17.97 (as of 08:00 UTC - Details)

Typical vaccines for viruses are made from a weakened or inactive virus, but mRNA-1273 is not made from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is made from messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), a genetic code that tells cells how to make protein, which help the bodys immune system make antibodies to fight the virus.

November 18, 2020, Wired magazine made a big deal about COVID-19 vaccines being genetic vaccines, noting:20

The active ingredient inside their shot is mRNA mobile strings of genetic code that contain the blueprints for proteins. Cells use mRNA to get those specs out of hard DNA storage and into their protein-making factories. The mRNA inside Pfizer and BioNTechs vaccine directs any cells it reaches to run a coronavirus spike-building program.

Importantly, as reported by David Martin, Ph.D.,21,22Moderna describes its product not as a vaccine, but as gene therapy technology in SEC filings. This is because neither Moderna nor Pfizer make any claims about their products creating immunity or preventing transmission. Additionally, Modernas SEC filings specifically state that Currently, mRNA is considered a gene therapy product by the FDA, as well.23

mRNA Is Proven Form of Gene Therapy

In a February 2021 article, MIT Technology Review reviewed the history of mRNA technology in general, and Modernas in particular, stating:24

Vaccines were not their focus. At the companys founding in 2010, its leaders imagined they might be able to use RNA to replace the injected proteins that make up most of the biotech pharmacopoeia, essentially producing drugs inside the patients own cells from an RNA blueprint. We were asking, could we turn a human into a bioreactor? says Noubar Afeyan, the companys cofounder

Bloomberg, in August 2020, reported25that the Moderna vaccine would seek to transform your body into a vaccine-making machine. The New York Times was more to the point. In May 2020, they reported26that Researchers at two Harvard-affiliated hospitals are adapting a proven form of gene therapy to develop a coronavirus vaccine. Read it again A proven form of gene therapy.

So, to summarize: The definition of genetic is something relating to genes, and the definition of therapy is the medical treatment of a disease. The definition of gene therapy is the process of modifying or manipulating the expression of a gene, or altering the biological properties of living cells.

mRNA are snippets of genetic code that instructs cells to produce proteins. mRNA COVID-19 therapies deliver genetic instructions into your cells, thereby triggering your body to produce a fragment of the virus (the spike protein). So, mRNA vaccines ARE gene therapy. Theres simply no way around this. They fulfill all the definitions of gene therapy and none of the definitions for a vaccine.

Defining COVID-19

Theres yet one more potential problem with the COVID-19 vaccine narrative as a whole, which Martin unpacked in a January 25, 2021, interview on the Wise Traditions podcast (above).27In it, he explains:

COVID-19 is not a disease. It is a series of clinical symptoms. It is a giant umbrella of things associated with what used to be associated with influenza and with other febrile diseases.

The problem that we have is that in February [2020], the World Health Organization was clear in stating that there should not be a conflation between [SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19]. One is a virus, in their definition, and one is a set of clinical symptoms. The illusion in February was that SARS-CoV-2 caused COVID-19.

The problem with that definition, and with the expectation, is that the majority of people who test positive using the RT-PCR method for testing, for fragments of what is associated with SARS-CoV-2, are not ill at all. The illusion that the virus causes a disease fell apart. Thats the reason why they invented the term asymptomatic carrier.

In short, SARS-CoV-2 has yet to be definitively proven to be the actual cause of COVID-19. So, a gene therapy that instructs your body to produce a SARS-CoV-2 antigen the viral spike protein cannot even be touted as a preventative against COVID-19, as the two have not been shown to be causally linked.

They have been willfully lying since the inception of this,Martin says in the interview.There is not a causal link between these things It has never even been close to established.

We have a situation where the illusion of the problem is that people say, I dont want to get COVID-19. What they mean is they dont want to get infected with a virus. The problem is those two things are not related to each other. A viral infection hasnt been documented in the majority of what is called cases.

There is no basis for that conflation other than the manipulation of the public. Thats the first half of the problem. The second half of the problem is that what is being touted as a vaccination is not a vaccine. This is gene therapy

What is this doing? Its sending a strand of synthetic RNA into the human being and is invoking within the human being, the creation of the S1 spike protein, which is a pathogen A vaccine is supposed to trigger immunity. Its not supposed to trigger you to make a toxin

Its not somewhat different. Its not the same at all Its not a prohibiting infection. Its not a prohibiting transmission device. Its a means by which your body is conscripted to make the toxin that then, allegedly, your body somehow gets used to dealing with, but unlike a vaccine which is to trigger the immune response this is to trigger the creation of the toxin.

Why the Misrepresentation?

As for why drug companies are misrepresenting this technology, Martin suspects its done exclusively so that they can get themselves under the umbrella of public health laws that exploit vaccination.

Experimental gene therapies do not have financial liability shielding from the government, but pandemic vaccines do, even in the experimental stage, as long as the emergency use authorization is in effect. This is indeed a major incentive to make sure this technology is perceived as a vaccine and nothing else.

So, by maintaining the illusion that COVID-19 is a state of emergency, when in reality it is not, government leaders are providing cover for these gene therapy companies so that they are insulated from any liability.

Experimental Gene Therapy Is a Bad Idea

Ive written many articles detailing the potential and expected side effects of these gene therapy vaccines. If all of this is new to you, consider reviewing How COVID-19 Vaccine Can Destroy Your Immune System, Seniors Dying After COVID Vaccine Labeled as Natural Causes and Side Effects and Data Gaps Raise Questions on COVID Vaccine.

The take-home message here is that these injections are not vaccines. They do not prevent infection, they do not render you immune and they do not prevent transmission of the disease. Instead, they alter your genetic coding, turning you into a viral protein factory that has no off-switch. Whats happening here is a medical fraud of unprecedented magnitude, and it really needs to be stopped before its too late for a majority of people.

If you already got the vaccine and now regret it, you may be able to address your symptoms using the same strategies youd use to treat actual SARS-CoV-2 infection. I review these strategies at the end of Why COVID Vaccine Testing Is a Farce.

Last but not least, if you got the vaccine and are having side effects, please help raise public awareness by reporting it. The Childrens Health Defense is calling on all who have suffered a side effect from a COVID-19 vaccine to do these three things:28
