Among VAERS and vax results data there are
also legal, definitions, liability, and other related
subthread topics that people have been noting
since day one, now more than ever because the
forced vax regime is now being rolled out in force
and will result in many legal challenges...


"mRNA vaccines ARE gene therapy. There’s simply no way around this.
They fulfill all the definitions of gene therapy and none of the
definitions for a vaccine."

"
As for why drug companies are misrepresenting this technology, Martin
suspects “it’s 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.

COVID-19 'Vaccines' Are Gene Therapy
By Joseph Mercola
https://www.mercola.com/
March 17, 2021

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.

As I’ll explain below, there’s 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. Webb, George Buy New $1.99 (as of

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.

Dictionaries Attempt to Rewrite Medical Terms

Levy, MD JD Thomas E Best Price: $22.60 Buy New $18.89 (as of 08:55
EST - Details) We should not be fooled by attempts to condition the
public to accept redefined terms. As of February 2019, Merriam-Webster
defined5 “vaccine” 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 body’s 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)”

Let’s 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,7 as
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 Doesn’t Satisfy Public Health Measure Directive

There’s 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. Massachusetts8 essentially established
that collective benefit supersedes individual benefit.
Since mRNA therapies do not render the immunized 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, and therefore cannot be mandated.

Put another way, the ruling argues (although legal experts diverge on
some of the finer details of its interpretation) that it’s 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:

    Ensure that the vaccinated person is rendered immune from the disease.
    Inhibit transmission of the disease from the vaccinated person to
other individuals.

Pauling, Linus Best Price: $3.99 Buy New $11.70 (as of 04:15 EST -
Details) We’re 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 won’t 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 you’re 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 violates9 15 U.S. Code Section 41
of the Federal Trade Commission Act,10 the 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,11,12 it 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.”

Here’s 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.

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

That means there’s 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.15 The 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. Let’s move on to the definition of “gene therapy.” As
detailed on MedlinePlus.gov’s “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, it’s worth noting that there are many different treatments 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,
here’s 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 person’s
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 person’s 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 ASGCT’s 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 there’s Moderna’s trial website,19 where they describe their
technology thus: Henriques, Tiago Best Price: $18.23 Buy New $17.97
(as of 08:00 EST - 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 body’s 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 BioNTech’s
vaccine directs any cells it reaches to run a coronavirus
spike-building program.”

Importantly, as reported by David Martin, Ph.D.,21,22 “Moderna …
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, Moderna’s 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 Moderna’s in particular, stating:24

    “Vaccines were not their focus. At the company’s 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 patient’s own cells from an RNA
blueprint. ‘We were asking, could we turn a human into a bioreactor?’
says Noubar Afeyan, the company’s cofounder …”

Bloomberg, in August 2020, reported25 that 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 reported26 that
“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. There’s
simply no way around this. They fulfill all the definitions of gene
therapy and none of the definitions for a vaccine.

Defining ‘COVID-19’

There’s 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).27 In 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. That’s 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 don’t want to get COVID-19.’ What they mean is they
don’t want to get infected with a virus. The problem is those two
things are not related to each other. A viral infection hasn’t been
documented in the majority of what is called cases.

    There is no basis for that conflation other than the manipulation
of the public. That’s 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? It’s 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. It’s not supposed to trigger you to make a toxin
…

    It’s not somewhat different. It’s not the same at all … It’s not a
prohibiting infection. It’s not a prohibiting transmission device.
It’s 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 “it’s 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

I’ve 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. What’s happening here is a medical fraud of unprecedented
magnitude, and it really needs to be stopped before it’s 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 you’d 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
Children’s Health Defense is calling on all who have suffered a side
effect from a COVID-19 vaccine to do these three things:28

    If you live in the U.S., file a report on VAERS
    Report the injury on VaxxTracker.com, which is a nongovernmental
adverse event tracker (you can file anonymously if you like)
    Report the injury on the CHD website
