COVID vaccine was never meant to ‘protect those around you’ says EU regulator

Europe’s pharmaceutical regulator admitted last month that the COVID-19 vaccine was never intended to prevent transmission and achieve herd immunity, thus obviating the need for a mandate.

During the pandemic the European Union (EU) imposed forced vaccinations through the EU Digital COVID Certificate, which restricted travel, jobs and other civil liberties for those who refused the shots. This was accompanied by rhetoric from European and international authorities who told the public that vaccination was altruistic in purpose because it “protects you and those around you.” This also formed the basis for vaccine mandates which were justified by the promise of herd immunity.

“No one is safe until everyone is safe,” said World Economic Forum Executive Director Klaus Schwab, echoed by high-ranking US officials, media operatives, and others.

But the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recently revealed that when the injections were first granted authorization for use it was only to protect the vaccinated individual. There was no expectation that the vaccine would prevent transmission of the virus to others.

The EMA made the disclosure in response to a letter from Dutch MEP Marcel de Graaff. The letter requested that the EMA withdraw its authorization from the COVID vaccines for numerous reasons, one of which was that it does not prevent transmission and is thus deceptively marketed.

“You are indeed correct to point out that COVID-19 vaccines have not been authorised for preventing transmission from one person to another,” replied EMA Executive Director Emer Cooke. “The indications are for protecting the vaccinated individuals only. The product information for COVID-19 vaccines clearly states that the vaccines are for active immunisation to prevent COVID-19. In addition, EMA’s assessment reports on the authorisation of the vaccines note the lack of data on transmissibility.”

In October last year, Pfizer’s President of International Developed Markets Janine Small admitted to the European Parliament that when the vaccine went to market, Pfizer had no data showing that it prevented transmission of the virus. 

But even now, the EU's Vaccination Information Portal states, “Vaccination protects the vaccinated persons and those around them who are vulnerable to the diseases, reducing the risk of diseases spreading among family members, school mates or colleagues, friends, neighbours and other people in the community.”

In his letter, De Graff had brought several other objections to the vaccine’s authorization, one of them being its well-documented dangers. Such documentation includes, for example, the adverse events reported in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). Not long after the COVID-19 vaccines were introduced, reported deaths in connection to the COVID vaccines totaled more than all vaccine-related deaths over the past three decades combined.

But the EMA replied that it is difficult to tell whether an adverse event is a result of the vaccine because most of the population has been vaccinated .

“Such adverse events can occur for other reasons in vaccinated people, as they do in unvaccinated people,” wrote Cooke. “With a large proportion of the general population having had the vaccines, we expect many reports of conditions occurring at or soon after vaccination.”
