My written testimony to Congress prior to testifying last week (full version with footnotes available at ):

Dear Chairman Massie,

Thank you for the invitation to testify before the House Judiciary Subcommittee ... in the hearing titled, Follow the Science?: Oversight of the Biden Covid-19 Administrative State Response.

Our firm’s vaccine practice, which spans vaccine injury, exemptions, and policy, has over forty professionals. In our lawsuits, we must prove claims regarding these products with government and high impact journal data and sources. Appeals to credentials do not suffice.

Please find below a few points regarding Covid-19 vaccines we believe provide a broader framework in which to consider the administrative state’s actions regarding these products. While these points may conflict with the cultural cognition of some, based on our experience, they reflect the best available evidence.judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subs… 1. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials Were Robust When Compared with Other Vaccine Trials

The pivotal trials relied upon to license Covid-19 vaccines were robust as compared to the trials relied upon to license most childhood vaccines.

The following chart compares the pivotal trials for Pfizer and Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines with those for FDA licensed vaccines that CDC recommends be injected (three times each) between birth and six months of age:

The above data is easily confirmed by reviewing the source material on FDA’s website for each product. For example, below is a screenshot of Section 6.1 of the package insert for the Hep-B vaccine in the chart above:

The trial reports submitted to FDA to license this Hep-B vaccine (obtained via FOIA) also confirm it was licensed for infants based on a trial with 147 infants and children and 5 days of safety monitoring after injection. FDA is also over three years late in substantively responding to a petition regarding this patently invalid trial.

As another example, Prevnar 13 was licensed for babies based on a trial in which Prevnar was used as a control:

In turn, Prevnar was licensed based on a trial in which another experimental vaccine, an “Investigational meningococcal group C conjugate vaccine,” was used as a control:

A chart of each vaccine licensed by FDA on CDC’s childhood schedule, along with the control, safety review period, and link to FDA source for each, is available at . This chart reflects that none of the vaccines on CDC’s childhood schedule were licensed by FDA based on a long-term placebo-controlled trial and most were licensed based on days or weeks of safety follow up after injection. Hence, in comparison with the trials relied upon to license childhood vaccines, the trials for Covid-19 vaccines were robust.

Covid-19 mRNA vaccines are “vaccines.” Like it or not, mRNA vaccines are no less a vaccine than other vaccines. For everyone sending me friendly messages such as “STOP CALLING THEM A F--ING VACCINE,” I have bad news: Covid-19 vaccines are “vaccines.”
aaronsiri.substack.com/p/mrna-vaccine… Let me suggest reading the Substack article first before commenting. The entire point of publishing this article was to address many of these comments all at once. Thanks!

1/5 Pfizer's Prevnar-13 vaccine licensed based on clinical trial comparing it to Pfizer's Prevnar-7 vaccine.

And Prevnar-7 was licensed based on clinical trial comparing it to another experimental vaccine. (I can't make this stuff up, see sources below.) 2/5 Prevnar-13 trial found:

"Serious adverse events reported following vaccination in infants and toddlers occurred in 8.2% among Prevnar 13 recipients and 7.2% among Prevnar 7 recipients."

Meaning, equally safe by FDA standards. But equally unsafe by any other standard.

1/5 If you think it’s an outrage Congress gave pharma financial immunity for harms from C19 vaccines, you should be absolutely incensed Congress gave financial immunity for harms from childhood vaccines. Truly, you should be. 2/5 For virtually all consumer products, you can sue for harms. That threat is what drives their safety. But, of ALL products, you can't sue for harms caused by products injected into babies and infants dozens of times?!

1/4 Responding to 100s of comments about mandates sent to me:

The safety valve for the human errors, mistakes, and conflicts attendant with the development, trial, licensure, and sale of any medical product is the ability to say no without penalty. 2/4 There may not currently be a medical product you are mandated to receive that you do not want, but the day may come when there is a mandated medical product you don't think appropriate for you or your loved one. Then what will you do?

1/4. Pfizer's website for its C19 vaccine tells patients to advise their vaccination provider if they have any of the following medical conditions. I wonder how many vaccine providers ever bother asking about these before injecting.
 
Without ado, in Pfizer's own words: 2/4.

"Tell your vaccination provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

- have any allergies

- have had myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart)

- have a fever

1 - As an example of why gov't should at most recommend medical treatment, but never ever mandate, let's take a closer but quick twitter style look at the claim C19 vaccines do not cause variants.

Here we go: 2.1 - Here is the CDC's first claim about C19-V and variants:

"MYTH: COVID-19 vaccines cause variants. FACT: COVID-19 vaccines do not create or cause variants of the virus that causes COVID-19."
