Peter Marks, FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Director, thinks he’s shaming Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo over Ladapo’s raising the question of whether the FDA has adequately monitored mRNA-based Wuhan Virus vaccines for possible contamination with extraneous DNA fragments. Marks is claiming—and he’s actually serious—that simply raising the question is intrinsically misleading.
Yet he claims this, also:
Given the dramatic reduction in the risk of death, hospitalization, and serious illness afforded by the vaccines, lower vaccine uptake is contributing to the continued death and serious illness toll of COVID-19[.]
The mortality rates for children from a Wuhan Virus infection are
- 3 per 100 000 for those younger than 1 year [with their unformed immune systems]
- 6 per 100 000 for those aged 1 to 4 years
- 4 per 100 000 for those aged 5 to 9 years
- 5 per 100 000 for those aged 10 to 14 years
- 8 per 100,000 for those aged 15 to 19 years
For adults, the rate is 0.5% or less—a maximum of 500 per 100,000. Hospitalization and less than hospitalized serious illness rates are even smaller—and the number of actual infections that are so trivial that the individuals don’t bother to see a doctor about it or even don’t notice the infection illustrates the growing lack of general severity of the Virus.
mRNA vaccines may lower those rates further, but calling such reductions “dramatic” is itself…misleading.
Marks shames himself with his distortion.
