10/04/21COVID Outbreak Sparked by Fully Vaccinated Patient Challenges Vaccine-Induced Herd Immunity Theory
A paper published Sept. 30, in Eurosurveillance showed COVID spread rapidly by a fully vaccinated patient to fully vaccinated staff, patients and family members — despite a 96% vaccination rate and use of full personal protective equipment. Five patients died and nine had severe cases.

08/03/21Delta Infections Threaten Herd Immunity Vaccine Strategy
“If the vaccinated can become infected and, we believe from other studies, potentially spread COVID, then herd immunity becomes more mirage than oasis,” said Andrew Noymer, an epidemiologist at the University of California at Irvine.
04/05/21Epidemiologist: We Could Have Reached Natural Herd Immunity in 6 Weeks
In an interview with Alliance for Natural Health International, epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski, Ph.D., says shielding the most vulnerable from a virus, while letting the infection run its course through healthy populations, is the fastest way to achieve herd immunity.
02/11/21Using Herd Immunity Myth to Justify COVID Vaccines for Kids Is Deceptive — and Dangerous
COVID poses almost no risk to children. Yet the push is on to mandate COVID vaccines for all children, with little or no consideration for the health risks of the experimental vaccines.
01/18/21Violating Science, WHO Changes Meaning of Herd Immunity
In June 2020, the WHO changed its definition of herd immunity, stating the only way to achieve herd immunity is by vaccination. The new definition is inconsistent with long-established science which says herd immunity occurs when enough people acquire immunity to an infectious disease.
01/23/19Herd Immunity: A False Rationale for Vaccine Mandates
Herd immunity is a largely theoretical concept, yet for decades, it has furnished one of the key underpinnings for vaccine mandates in the United States. The public health establishment borrowed the herd immunity concept from pre-vaccine observations of natural disease outbreaks.
06/21/18“Herd Immunity”? A Dishonest Marketing Gimmick
As a country and a society, we’ve never been anywhere close to “herd immunity” through vaccination, but where are all the epidemics? That doesn’t keep vaccine makers from using herd immunity as a weapon to guilt and scare parents. Why are we allowing “mythology to trump science”?
11/29/17Natural vs. Artificial Herd Immunity: What Have Failed Vaccination Programs Taught Us?
Herd immunity is a concept by which an infectious agent can no longer spread across a population because a sufficiently large percentage of individuals have immunity, either from a history of exposure to the wild-type of the infectious agent, or due to acquired immunity from vaccination with a vaccine designed to protect against the wild-type. From an individual perspective, herd immunity can afford protection to one who is not immune.
04/05/23Pfizer Hid Data on Waning Immunity as Millions Lined Up to Get Its COVID Vaccine
New regulatory filings show Pfizer had evidence, early into the vaccination campaign, that the efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine waned, but the drug company waited months before alerting the public.
02/28/23WSJ: It’s Time Health Officials ‘Concede Opponents Were Right’ — Natural Immunity Protects Against COVID
A Wall Street Journal editorial board member Sunday called out the press and public health officials — who are now affirming “natural immunity” protects against COVID-19 — for spending three years disparaging natural immunity despite overwhelming evidence supporting it.
09/14/21Vaccinating People Who Have Had COVID-19: Why Doesn’t Natural Immunity Count in the U.S.?
The CDC estimates that SARS-CoV-2 has infected more than 100 million Americans, and evidence is mounting that natural immunity is at least as protective as vaccination. Yet public health leadership says everyone needs the vaccine.
08/30/21Fully Vaccinated With Pfizer? You’re 6 to 13 Times More Likely to Get Delta Than Someone With Natural Immunity, Study Says
In the largest real-world observational study comparing natural immunity gained through previous SARS-CoV-2 infection to vaccine-induced immunity afforded by the Pfizer vaccine, people who recovered from COVID were much less likely than never-infected, vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms or be hospitalized.
08/06/21Physician Speaks Out Against ‘Vaccine Mandates for All’ — Especially Children and Those With Natural Immunity
In an interview with U.S. News & World Report, Dr. Marty Makary said the CDC’s relentless focus on vaccine-induced immunity and its “demonizing” of those who choose not to get the vaccine make the agency “the most slow, reactionary, political CDC in American history.”
06/16/21Physician: ‘Fanaticism’ — Not Science — Governs CDC’s Aggressive Push to Vaccinate Even Those With Natural Immunity
Public health insiders increasingly are calling out the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over the “insanity” of pushing COVID vaccines on people who have already acquired natural immunity.
03/21/23If Kids and Teens Keep Getting COVID Boosters, What Will Happen in 10 Years?
The COVID-19 vaccine inhibits the type-1 interferon pathway — an immune molecule that protects cells against invading pathogens — so mass injecting young children may erase natural herd immunity that would develop if children remained unjabbed.
05/24/22Action Alert: It’s Now or Never. We Must #StopTheTreaty.
We cannot afford to centralize power under a global public health organization that fails to recognize the benefits of natural immunity, suggests that vaccines are the only way to herd immunity and has walked away from science, transparency and accountability. This is a “use it or lose it” moment for freedom.
09/14/21Vaccine Mandates ‘Potentially Harmful, Damaging Act,’ Physician Says
In a paper published Sept. 9, Nina Pierpoint, M.D., Ph.D., analyzed studies published in August 2021 which she said prove the Delta variant is evading the available COVID vaccines, leading her to conclude herd immunity to COVID cannot be achieved through vaccination.
07/27/21‘Mathematically Impossible’ for Vaccines to Eliminate COVID
The latest data suggest the wave of COVID among unvaccinated has peaked and natural herd immunity has set in, while vaccinated individuals are actually becoming more prone to infection.

03/20/24Be Very Afraid? CDC, Big Media Drum Up Fear of ‘Deadly’ Measles Outbreaks
Modern measles-mongering is a leitmotif of post-pandemic public health, where the state and mainstream media measles-mongering is telling the population to fear a disease that they have an extremely remote chance of getting and an even more remote chance of dying from.

11/15/23HPV Vaccine May Cause Increase in Cancer-Causing Strains, Study Shows — But Media Puts Misleading Spin on Study’s Findings
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine may increase the prevalence and distribution of some HPV virus strains not targeted by the vaccine — including some strains that are linked to cancer, according to a study published last week in Cell Host & Microbe. But STATNews misleadingly, according to experts, concluded the study showed the vaccine was effective at preventing cancer.

08/17/23Under New ‘Medical Misinformation’ Policy, YouTube Will Delete Content That Contradicts WHO Guidance
YouTube on Tuesday announced updates to its medical misinformation policy, tightening restrictions on what it described as “harmful” claims about COVID-19, vaccines and cancer treatments, but critics said the tech giant lacks the expertise to make these judgments and its plans to restrict such content could violate people’s civil rights and stifle scientific debate.
