Fauci Acknowledges Failure
I am not a doctor, scientist, or expert in anything. This content should not be construed as advice or recommendation, but is intended for entertainment and informational purposes only.
I recently read an article written by Jeffrey Tucker of The Brownstone Institute that was published in The Daily Reckoning that highlighted an article co-authored by none other than St. Anthony Fauci, former head of the NAIAD. The article Tucker reviewed is titled Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenzaviruses, and other respiratory viruses and was published in Cell.
The gist of the article is a call to the disciples of “The Science” to find newer generations of vaccines that work better against respiratory viruses such as influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and others. Ironically, while the intent of the article is about advancing vaccine research, the underlying reality is the acknowledgment that previous and current efforts to produce vaccines against these diseases are failures.
Quoting directly from Fauci’s article regarding influenza vaccines (emphasis is mine):
Until the emergence of COVID-19, influenza had for many decades been the deadliest vaccine-preventable viral respiratory disease, one for which only less than suboptimal vaccines are available. Surprisingly, little has changed with influenza vaccines since 1957 when they were first administered in US national vaccination programs. Over the years, influenza vaccines have never been able to elicit durable protective immunity against seasonal influenza virus strains, even against non-drifted strains.4,5,6,7 Although current influenza vaccines reduce the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death to some degree, their effectiveness against clinically apparent infection is decidedly suboptimal, ranging from 14% to 60% over the past 15 influenza seasons.1 Furthermore, the duration of vaccine-elicited immunity is measured only in months. Current vaccines require annual re-vaccination with updated formulations that are frequently not precisely matched to circulating virus strains.8
and
As of 2022, after more than 60 years of experience with influenza vaccines, very little improvement in vaccine prevention of infection has been noted. As pointed out decades ago, and still true today, the rates of effectiveness of our best approved influenza vaccines would be inadequate for licensure for most other vaccine-preventable diseases.7
So, it’s been understood for decades that our “best option for preventing the flu” doesn’t prevent infection or transmission, but may reduce risk of severe disease, hospitalization, or death to some degree (which goes undefined) works so poorly that that they are inadequate for licensure. But run out and get your flu shots.
“Why” you ask?
“Because we are “The Science”… and they put a shitload of money in our pockets. Now shut up and take your shots.”
Of course, they claim that the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine has saved “innumerable lives” which conveniently goes undefined as is the modus operandi with “The Science.” But in the next sentence they acknowledge the failure of the magic COVID shots:
However, as variant SARS-CoV-2 strains have emerged, deficiencies in these vaccines reminiscent of influenza vaccines have become apparent. The vaccines for these two very different viruses have common characteristics: they elicit incomplete and short-lived protection against evolving virus variants that escape population immunity.12,13,14,15 Considering that vaccine development and licensure is a long and complex process requiring years of preclinical and clinical safety and efficacy data, the limitations of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 vaccines remind us that candidate vaccines for most other respiratory viruses have to date been insufficiently protective for consideration of licensure, including candidate vaccines against RSV, a major killer of infants and the elderly,16,17,18,19,20,21 parainfluenzaviruses, endemic coronaviruses,22 and many other “common cold” viruses that cause significant morbidity and economic loss.
But, these shots with their incomplete and short-lived protection are really your best chance against COVID, so run out and get another booster.
“Why?”
“Because we are “The Science”… and they put a shitload of money in our pockets. Now shut up and take your shots.”
What’s interesting is that the authors acknowledge the body’s ability to produce long lasting or even lifetime protection from natural infection against certain pathogens such as measles, mumps, rubella, smallpox, and varicella zoster virus.
However, natural infections with these three vaccine-controlled respiratory viruses, as well as smallpox and varicella zoster virus (VZV), are not representative of infections caused by most respiratory viruses. They differ in at least three critically important ways that are related to their successful control with vaccines (Table 1):
(1) after first replicating mucosally, these systemic respiratory viruses all cause significant viremia that seeds an enormous number of infectious virions throughout the body, putting them in contact with multiple immune compartments and immune competent cell types,
(2) they have relatively long incubation periods that reflect initial mucosal replication and the subsequent systemic spread of infectious virions, which allows time for the induction of the full force of adaptive immunity, and
(3) they elicit long-term or lifetime protective immunity (Table 1).
If the vaccines for these diseases work because the body has evolved to respond to a natural infection from these pathogens and acquire long-lasting immunity in the first place, why in the hell do we need to go about injecting people with something that is laden with untested chemicals that hijacks the body’s natural response when the body can already handle the infection better?
“Because we are “The Science”… and they put a shitload of money in our pockets. Now shut up and take your shots.”
A future post will cover declines in mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases and the role vaccines have supposedly played, but as a reminder from the post 120 Years of Conventional Medicine, Part 1, mortality and morbidity from several infectious disease were already in advanced stages of decline before vaccines were unleashed on the public. For example:

But I digress.
The article goes into the differences of SARS-CoV2, influenza, RSV, and parainfluenza viruses compared to other respiratory viruses such as measles that supposedly respond better to vaccines, and Fauci et al. drop these little sweethearts in our lap:
Taking all of these factors into account, it is not surprising that none of the predominantly mucosal respiratory viruses have ever been effectively controlled by vaccines.
Wait, what? Not surprised?
And then they have their Homer Simpson “Doh!” moment:
This observation raises a question of fundamental importance: if natural mucosal respiratory virus infections do not elicit complete and long-term protective immunity against reinfection, how can we expect vaccines, especially systemically administered non-replicating vaccines, to do so?
“Because we are “The Science” and we are smarter than nature and infinitely complex systems such as the human body. And, these shots put a shitload of money in our pockets even if they don’t work and have never worked.”
The article then goes into these challenges and how much they really don’t know about anything while acknowledging the body has evolved to tolerate or deal with these types of viruses:
The terms “disease tolerance” and “immune tolerance” refer to the still-incompletely characterized but distinct category of mammalian immune defense mechanisms that allow hosts to “accept” infection and other antigenic stimuli to optimize survival (reviewed in Medzhitov et al.42 and Iwasaki et al.43). Because humans inhale and ingest enormous quantities of exogenous proteins with every breath and mouthful, the respiratory and gastrointestinal immune compartments have evolved to deal with continual and massive antigenic assaults from the outside world.
Inhaled and ingested proteins must be identified and either tolerated or attacked and eliminated. This requires a highly evolved and complicated immune “decision-making” strategy that simultaneously accepts harmless foreign proteins while down-regulating immune responses to infectious agents and allergens that otherwise might cause bystander tissue damage.46,47,48,49,50
Our medical authoritarians have known for decades that respiratory viruses such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2 do not respond to vaccines. Scarf lady, Dr. Deborah Birx, admitted as much during interviews several months ago to pimp her book bragging about how they wantonly lied the American public. So I will raise the question again.
If these vaccines have never worked and the human body has evolved over millions of years to develop this complicated immune decision-making strategy to deal with enormous quantities of exogenous proteins with every breath we take to optimize survival, why do egotistical, arrogant humans think they can do better with some combination of incredibly poorly tested chemicals of which they have no way of knowing (nor care to know) how these chemicals would interact with a highly complex system such as the human body?
And why mandate these COVID shots that are experimental, have no safety profile, and were known in advance to be ineffective?
