Former Pfizer Vice President Dr. Mike Yeadon Speaks Out


Summary

Dr. Mike Yeadon is a former vice president of Pfizer and was the company s chief scientist for allergy and respiratory research. He spent 32 years in the industry leading new medicine research development, and he retired from the pharmaceutical giant as the most senior research position in his field when he retired a couple of years ago. After his retirement, he founded his own biopharmaceuticals company, Ziarco, which he co-founded with his wife. In this episode, he talks about the coronavirus outbreak in the UK, and why he thinks gene-based vaccines should be the next big thing in medicine. He also talks about why he doesn t think the vaccine should be called a vaccine at all. And he gives us his thoughts on whether or not the vaccine is safe enough to be given to the public.

Transcript

00:00:00.000 I'm very, very excited for our guest today.
00:00:04.000 I've been waiting to talk to Dr.
00:00:06.000 Mike Yeadon for the last month.
00:00:09.000 I've been following you on a lot of other people's podcasts and the very, very courageous statements that you've been making.
00:00:16.000 I've learned a lot from you too.
00:00:18.000 Dr.
00:00:18.000 Mike Yeadon is a former vice president of Pfizer.
00:00:24.000 He was the company's chief scientist for allergy and respiratory.
00:00:30.000 He spent 32 years in the industry leading new medicine research development, and he retired from the pharmaceutical giant, and, quote, the most senior research position, end quote, in his field.
00:00:45.000 When he retired, what, two years ago?
00:00:48.000 Mike?
00:00:49.000 Yes, Robert.
00:00:50.000 So I left Pfizer in 2011 when they closed their UK research base.
00:00:57.000 And so I ended up with a second career in biopharmaceuticals.
00:01:01.000 And I founded my own company, Ziarco.
00:01:05.000 By the way, where are you now?
00:01:07.000 I am about 100 miles from the coast of France.
00:01:12.000 I'm quite near the port of Dover.
00:01:16.000 But you're on the British side of the channel, right?
00:01:19.000 Yes.
00:01:19.000 I was wondering because it looks like it's sunshine there and I know that never happens in England.
00:01:27.000 You're in California, right?
00:01:30.000 Yeah, I'm in California.
00:01:31.000 All about sunshine.
00:01:33.000 I've visited the States maybe probably between 30 and 40 times on business and so I'm hoping to come and join you in In the not-too-distant future, because I'm not confident that the UK and Europe is going to be a safe place.
00:01:47.000 I mean, continue to protest, actually.
00:01:50.000 And just today, I'm proud to say that as an alien investor, I've officially today confirmed that I am in one of these EB-5 investment schemes.
00:02:01.000 So it may take time, but eventually Apparently the deal is I might help create and preserve U.S. jobs, and in return they say you can come live here.
00:02:09.000 So there you go.
00:02:11.000 We signed the papers today.
00:02:12.000 So we start the journey.
00:02:14.000 Well, I recommend Los Angeles.
00:02:16.000 It's a first word by people from Great Britain because we have palm trees here, beaches, dolphins, and all the things we're dreaming about.
00:02:26.000 It actually is a happening in California.
00:02:30.000 Okay.
00:02:31.000 So let's talk about what was it first that started traveling to do about the vaccine real fast?
00:02:38.000 Yeah, certainly.
00:02:39.000 So I think first I should say to those who don't know me, I've had no public profile prior to commenting on coronavirus ever about anything.
00:02:48.000 I've not been on a barricade or Handed out political leaflets.
00:02:53.000 Not the sort of person who's kind of noisy personally.
00:02:57.000 What I noticed from, I guess, the first lockdown, probably by the summer of last year, I was clear we'd made some serious policy mistakes, and I'm afraid they just continued.
00:03:10.000 When we got to the vaccine rollout, I was surprised because I know enough about mRNA technology as a lag tool for the last 20 or 30 years.
00:03:21.000 And I knew, certainly when I left 5 or 10 years ago, that we're miles away from A product you can give to everybody.
00:03:28.000 And so I was intrigued as to what it is they've done to have fixed the difficulties which are safe delivery, really.
00:03:35.000 Safe delivery of a message into a cell that will allow it to then copy that message and do something useful without in any way being harmful and don't really understand how they've succeeded because those were always the problems in the lab.
00:03:50.000 How do you get it into cells without hurting them to do what you want?
00:03:54.000 And of course, I'm not sure they have succeeded, Robert.
00:03:58.000 The problem is these vaccines are of a completely novel technology.
00:04:02.000 I don't think they should be called vaccines.
00:04:05.000 I would say gene-based vaccines would probably be the honourable thing to do because they do raise an immune response, but they do as unusually.
00:04:14.000 As you will gather from my concerns about messenger RNA technology, I anticipated that it wouldn't be quite safe enough.
00:04:23.000 And I'm afraid to say that I think potentially as many as one in a thousand, perhaps a little less, of people have actually perished, which sounds appalling, but we've certainly dosed 35 million people in the UK here, and I do think a significant proportion of the January 2021 wave, as they called it, and I'm afraid I think quite a portion of those were Fatality.
00:04:48.000 Why do I say that?
00:04:50.000 I'm a member of a group called Doctors for COVID Ethics, and we're mainly Europeans.
00:04:57.000 And we've written to the European Medicines Agency, I think, three times.
00:05:02.000 And we've told them that we believe that these gene-based vaccines cause the expression of something called spike protein, the little spike you see on the cartoon pictures of coronavirus.
00:05:13.000 And it causes that protein to be expressed wherever it is that the vaccine lands after you've been jammed in the arm.
00:05:19.000 And our concern is that the manufacturers were not asked to study where the vaccine went, because you don't do that with classical vaccines.
00:05:27.000 You do with any novel medicine, but you're not required to do it.
00:05:30.000 And we think some poor unfortunate people Get the vaccine deposited in vulnerable vascular beds, perhaps in the brain and the heart and the mesenteric supply to the gut.
00:05:41.000 And then when they express the message for spike protein, if they have to make more of it in one person than another, and then add to that perhaps a vulnerability for thromboembolic events, and lo and behold, I think that's the explanation.
00:05:55.000 For why many people are fine, and some people get serious clotting and bleeding disorders and die.
00:06:01.000 And we've written to the European Medicines Agency and regulators several times, and they have simply dealt with a substantive issue, as I've just laid out.
00:06:12.000 There's plenty of scientific literature that shows that spike proteins do have biological activities.
00:06:19.000 The question is, why wouldn't you?
00:06:21.000 Expect some thrombotic risks.
00:06:24.000 And I think those mostly explain, Robert, why...
00:06:28.000 I think that's the underlying pathomechanism, pathological mechanism for these side effects that we're seeing.
00:06:36.000 I think they're so severe in a minority of people that we should absolutely not be offering them to young, healthy people who are not at risk from the virus.
00:06:48.000 I can't say that more clearly.
00:06:51.000 In your opinion, how long does those spike protein particles, as you would call them, survive in a healthy body?
00:07:02.000 And, you know, what is the fate of them?
00:07:06.000 They end up in the brain.
00:07:07.000 Can they cause the blood-brain barrier?
00:07:09.000 Can they go to the organs?
00:07:10.000 Can they go to the lungs?
00:07:12.000 What happens to them?
00:07:13.000 It's a great question.
00:07:15.000 I wish I knew the answer.
00:07:16.000 The proprietors, the manufacturers, are not asked to study that.
00:07:19.000 I must say, I wouldn't think they'd last very long.
00:07:22.000 You should not accept Mike Eden's speculation.
00:07:24.000 You should demand, as I have done, that they be characterized.
00:07:28.000 Because I have the same concern you've just expressed, which is, well, where are they?
00:07:32.000 How long do they continue to be expressed?
00:07:34.000 And what are they doing?
00:07:36.000 You really want them to be exposed to bits of your immune system so that you educate the immune system to protect you if it should encounter that protein again.
00:07:46.000 You don't really want it in your brain, and there are many other tissues, vessel walls, you don't want it there and so on.
00:07:52.000 So I can't answer your question, and I wish I could, but the fact that I can't is a measure of, shall we say, how much latitude a developer gets if their medicine is classified as a vaccine.
00:08:04.000 They get a whole load of, shall we say, waivers.
00:08:08.000 If this was not classified as a vaccine, the manufacturer would need to study what we call pharmacokinetics, Where the drug goes, how it disappears.
00:08:17.000 We also need to study pharmacodynamics, which is what does it actually do?
00:08:22.000 Where does it give it?
00:08:23.000 How long does it last?
00:08:24.000 Because it's a vaccine, not required to study any of those things.
00:08:28.000 I think that's exposed, for me, a gap in the regulation of medicines that sit in the netherworld, should we say, between vaccines and new drugs.
00:08:40.000 I hope you would agree and would help join with me in the future and Making sure that those gaps are not exploited again.
00:08:48.000 I mean, when you look at the manufacturers in MH, people who are promoting MRNA, for example, the CEO of Moderna Classic, he said, what we do is we hack the brain of the cell and we have the cell to begin creating these spike protein materials.
00:09:13.000 But The mechanism that they use to hack the cells, is that also a femoral?
00:09:19.000 Is it possible that you could hack the cell in a way that continues to produce like protein?
00:09:25.000 Is that even a concern?
00:09:27.000 Robert, it shouldn't happen, certainly the mRNA.
00:09:30.000 It should not, at least if you try to draw the biochemistry.
00:09:34.000 The whole material should get inside the cell and then mimic People will know, I think, DNA is our store of information.
00:09:43.000 Protein is what is finally made.
00:09:44.000 The intermediate step is this message, and that's what the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is.
00:09:50.000 And so it should only go one way, but we're putting it into a cell and then asking for that cell to copy the hell out of that message until the message itself is destroyed.
00:10:01.000 It should degrade over time.
00:10:03.000 I don't think, not by design, it should not incorporate into the DNA. So it shouldn't be permanent.
00:10:11.000 But depending on how it's designed, you could have pieces that are promoted, something that will amplify the number of times that that mRNA is copied.
00:10:22.000 So I do think it's possible to modify the intensity of the resulting signal.
00:10:28.000 I know they can be stabilized somewhat in that the actual molecules used to make up this mRNA, they're modified nucleic acids so they're a little bit more stable.
00:10:38.000 Resilience being broken down.
00:10:40.000 But I think that's what I would call it.
00:10:42.000 You do the experiments and see what you get.
00:10:44.000 Then we can design a very prolonged message.
00:10:48.000 Although I understand and I'm excited too about the potential for mRNA technology to treat hard-to-treat diseases that are life-threatening.
00:10:59.000 So if you had a cancer, And we didn't really know how to intervene, but we knew experimentally, perhaps, in vitro, taking a tissue of my own tumour perhaps, and we'd shown if you could knock down these three genes, the cancer will die.
00:11:15.000 And then if you could manufacture that swiftly with messenger RNA technology and inject it, you'd think, wow, that could cut 10 years out of customised, you know, whatever medicines.
00:11:27.000 But I just don't think they're ever going to be safe enough to give to healthy, normal people.
00:11:33.000 I've not been a vaccinologist, so I've had to read up a lot in the last year.
00:11:37.000 But just to remind any of my peers who might be watching, we give vaccines to people who are healthy in order to keep them healthy, and they would remain healthy if they were not injected.
00:11:48.000 And so there's an extremely high standard of proof of safety in my view.
00:11:55.000 Over and above anything else.
00:11:57.000 Because unlike other medicines, you generally give to people who are either ill already or they have some process like blood pressure or blood sugar or blood lipids that's out of whack and you want to We turn it to normal to keep them healthy or to treat them.
00:12:11.000 With vaccines, the person arrives at your office healthy and you want them to leave healthy and to be able to defend themselves against the pathogen.
00:12:21.000 It's unethical to risk anything other than a minuscule chance of harm, in my view.
00:12:27.000 And I don't think these mRNA or DNA vaccines, I don't think they come close to meeting that standard.
00:12:33.000 Okay?
00:12:34.000 Even if this is an emergency, Not everybody would agree with me that we should offer them to people who have got a strong risk of dying if they contract this virus.
00:12:46.000 Then be very honest and tell them these are experimental, novel technology products.
00:12:50.000 Probably not as safe as an ordinary vaccine, but here's what we know.
00:12:54.000 And then let the person make an informed consent decision.
00:12:57.000 But we're not doing that.
00:12:59.000 If anyone even raises questions like I've done, which I think are reasonable, these are not normal vaccines.
00:13:05.000 They're all experimental.
00:13:06.000 And I've outlined a plausible mechanism for the pathology we're seeing, blood clots and bleeding.
00:13:14.000 Of course, you get attacked for doing that.
00:13:16.000 But where I put my foot down, I have two healthy adult girls, 25, 29 years old, and I would be really upset if they ended up being coerced into taking these products because they're healthy and young and they're not at any measurable risk from COVID-19.
00:13:36.000 And I think they would be at a small but measurable risk from these Vaccines, and as you may remember, the Europeans first discovered a problem, at least with the AstraZeneca vaccine, when healthy young women aged between 20 and 50 were presenting with life-threatening cerebral vein sinus thrombosis, so blood clot in the brain.
00:13:58.000 And they, in my view, it doesn't so much happen there more often than other people, or happen in that group of people more often.
00:14:05.000 It's just my father who has a physician used to say, some women don't die.
00:14:11.000 It was almost a joke that it's extremely unlikely if you reach this age, unless you die in childbirth or Go under a bus.
00:14:20.000 You pretty much don't die of diseases.
00:14:23.000 And so when somebody, when I think they had seven, a cluster of seven, and then there was another cluster of more than 10 in different towns that had the same brain blood clot, they realized they couldn't look the other way.
00:14:34.000 I think some people had been doing that.
00:14:36.000 And I think they realized this is such an unusual and serious problem.
00:14:41.000 People who don't normally suffer it must be the vaccine.
00:14:44.000 And I think that's when you saw a few weeks ago Country by country, they paused Rollout to evaluate it.
00:14:52.000 And I think at that point, they could probably have just about saved their ethics by outlining more or less as I've done, which is that they've been produced very quickly, and that's a miracle.
00:15:04.000 But they do have some built-in design consequences.
00:15:09.000 I think a consequence of having chosen spike protein As the, what's called the immunogen, think your body's to make in order to educate the immune system.
00:15:19.000 Having made that design choice, I think it's not unreasonable to expect a class effect risk now with all gene-based vaccines for COVID so far that we've seen under emergency approval because they all cause the body to produce spike protein or part of spike protein.
00:15:39.000 So that's what I would tell people that my general...
00:15:43.000 Please, do not get vaccinated for non-medical reasons.
00:15:48.000 You know, when I hear people say, oh, if I get vaccinated, maybe I can go on holiday or rejoin my normal life.
00:15:54.000 You shouldn't have to do that.
00:15:56.000 That's just crazy.
00:15:58.000 If you're personally worried about the risk of illness and death from COVID and you take advice and you choose to be vaccinated, okay.
00:16:08.000 But please, if you're healthy and young, don't give in to people Pressurizing you, peer pressure, or whatever.
00:16:16.000 It's not a safe thing if you do, and you're not at risk from this virus.
00:16:21.000 Almost everything we've been told, Robert, about this virus has been exaggerated.
00:16:26.000 Sometimes I've said it's untrue, but almost everything we've heard has been exaggerated.
00:16:31.000 The lethality of the virus, the inability of other medicines to treat it.
00:16:37.000 That's not risk work, which they don't.
00:16:39.000 Lockdowns prevent.
00:16:41.000 Epidemic spreading, which they don't, and I can explain why that is.
00:16:45.000 And here, one of the worst things, which I hope we'll get to, and push me back if it's not the right time, one of the things that frightens me most is another thing that's close to the truth but is not right.
00:16:56.000 Close to the truth, when viruses replicate, they make typographical errors, a typo.
00:17:02.000 And sometimes those typos produce a viable virus.
00:17:06.000 We call those variants if they survive and are seen in enough people to kind of get sequenced.
00:17:13.000 But it's not true that the variants we've seen so far are immunologically different enough from the original Wuhan virus that you need another vaccine.
00:17:24.000 But I'm told every day by politicians and advisers to the government that they will have variant or top-up vaccines ready for us.
00:17:35.000 I'm telling you, one of my strongest suits is immunology.
00:17:39.000 That's not true.
00:17:40.000 Yeah, let me talk.
00:17:41.000 I think that's probably the most important topic, and I want to address it, because I feel they're really corralling us into issues.
00:17:51.000 With those arguments, and when you break down those arguments, it's clear that there are lies.
00:17:58.000 Let me talk to you just for a moment about this.
00:18:02.000 Apparent disproportionate injury to children and young people from the vaccine, which gives them an entire different calculus when they're trying to decide whether to take a vaccine or not.
00:18:18.000 And during the Phase 1 trials of the Moderna vaccine, there was a horrendous injury rate.
00:18:25.000 100% of the people experienced injury to the second vaccine, and in the high dose group, 21% had a stage 4 injury, which means Medical intervention or hospitalization required, and 6% of the people in the low dose group.
00:18:43.000 And so when I was looking at the phase 2 studies, I didn't see those kind of entry rates.
00:18:50.000 And I called Peter Doshi, who's made a comprehensive study of this from the British Medical Journal, Dr.
00:18:57.000 Peter Doshi, who's the associate editor of the BMJ. And I said, you know, why are we saying this?
00:19:02.000 And he said, you know, he hadn't really studied it.
00:19:06.000 But the possible answer is that in the Phase II trials, the people who were experiencing the worst injuries tended to be younger, more robust people.
00:19:22.000 And he said because those were the only cohort that they allowed in the Phase I trial of very, very young, robust people, It may be that they had a much higher injury, right?
00:19:35.000 I don't know if you think that's true or not.
00:19:37.000 And really, for Peter Doshi, it was speculative.
00:19:40.000 But he said something important, which is if you're young and healthy, your risk from this vaccine is much, much higher.
00:19:48.000 And your risk from the disease, conversely, is much, much lower.
00:19:53.000 Your calculation to take that is a completely different calculation.
00:19:58.000 Absolutely.
00:20:00.000 Yes, absolutely.
00:20:02.000 It's almost criminal to give this to a child.
00:20:06.000 Yes.
00:20:07.000 I don't think it's exaggeration.
00:20:10.000 I'm of the industry.
00:20:11.000 I've never been more ashamed than I felt in recent months.
00:20:16.000 I almost feel like I've been duped because I honestly don't think in my decades of working with people in research, I came across people who are not Good-hearted people trying to do good quality science to try and make new products that would help people, and they needed to help them by improving on existing therapies, so to be better than an existing therapy, or they needed to be safer than an existing choice, ideally both.
00:20:42.000 That was always what we wanted to do.
00:20:44.000 So now seeing these products coming out of an industry, and maybe it won't be the researchers, but someone is misrepresenting the situation where At very least, as you described, Robert, there's two moving curves.
00:21:00.000 One is, as you get older and already more sick, you're at greater risk of illness and fatality from the virus.
00:21:08.000 That we know.
00:21:10.000 If it should also be the case, as Peter Doshi's analysis may suggest, that younger people are maybe even getting a worse safety outcome, then the crossover, that is the age below which you would not want to offer these vaccines to people who are not ill, not at great risk from the virus, would be quite high.
00:21:32.000 My general cutoff is 60.
00:21:35.000 I just happen to be 60.
00:21:37.000 I've not chosen to have this vaccine so far.
00:21:39.000 I'm 60 years old.
00:21:40.000 I have no chronic illnesses.
00:21:43.000 I don't take any chronic medicines for things like diabetes or whatever.
00:21:47.000 So when I look at statistics, there aren't very many people like me that have died with COVID, Casper.
00:21:53.000 It's less than 1,000 out of 750,000 total deaths.
00:21:58.000 We made it 125,000 attributed to COVID. So over the last two seasons, less than 1,000.
00:22:04.000 People who are under 60 and not already chronically ill.
00:22:08.000 I just simply would not offer to that group these vaccines at all, because I think the data shows they do carry significantly greater risk than ordinary vaccines.
00:22:21.000 They are experimental anyway, so we don't really know the full pattern that the phase two trials don't complete until 2022 or even later.
00:22:30.000 Basically, there's not enough upside in it for younger people.
00:22:33.000 And then, to your point of children, I'm horrified by two things.
00:22:37.000 One is, I've seen leaflets from groups that are providing guidance to physicians and counselors, to their patients, and they're guiding healthy pregnant young women to receive the vaccine using things like There's no evidence of harm to pregnant women or no evidence of harm to the developing baby.
00:22:58.000 Well, of course, there's no evidence.
00:23:00.000 They haven't done the studies.
00:23:01.000 And so they are spinning the absence of evidence and trying to make you think that it means evidence of absence.
00:23:10.000 That is, it's been studied and not there as a problem.
00:23:12.000 That's not true.
00:23:13.000 I haven't studied it.
00:23:14.000 That upsets me because I know the lid of mine was a long time ago, but it was a different era entirely.
00:23:20.000 But the point is, we have not studied what's called reproductive toxicology.
00:23:25.000 It has not been studied.
00:23:27.000 And so I would not want, and I would never have done this myself, have persuaded anybody to take an experimental medicine where reproductive toxicology is not being done, And the person is pregnant or may be pregnant.
00:23:41.000 We had really serious prohibitions.
00:23:44.000 We would exclude women of childbearing potential, or if they were allowed in the trial, we would cancel and say, we haven't done the talks yet.
00:23:54.000 If you want to be in the study, you would have to use a warrant that you are going to use and understand why you should use highly effective interconception.
00:24:02.000 Because we knew that we wouldn't want to allow the intercept of this new drug and developing Embryo or fetus.
00:24:10.000 And so how can it be that without doing formal studies in pregnant women, that the authorities say not only that it's okay, but it's advised that pregnant women get vaccinated?
00:24:21.000 That's one.
00:24:22.000 And then the other one that makes me really see red is children.
00:24:25.000 I haven't done any sort of neonatal toxicology, young animals.
00:24:30.000 We just don't have enough experience really in young people at all.
00:24:34.000 And yet there is a small ongoing trial, I think it's 300 Children, people under 16.
00:24:41.000 I say to people in their face, that's not a technical trial.
00:24:44.000 300 people, that's propaganda.
00:24:47.000 The reason I say that is if you're trying to rule out a risk of something like one in a thousand people getting a serious adverse event, how can you possibly warrant to people that there isn't one when you've studied 300 people?
00:25:01.000 It's propaganda.
00:25:02.000 When I saw the designer at the trial, I knew immediately this is not appropriate.
00:25:06.000 If it was a pilot study, fine.
00:25:09.000 It's going to be followed by even a much bigger study, fine.
00:25:12.000 But that's not what they're saying.
00:25:13.000 What they're saying is we're doing a safety study in children.
00:25:18.000 We think things will be fine when we've got the data, then we'll make the vaccines available to school children.
00:25:23.000 And in the UK, they're talking about autumn.
00:25:26.000 This year, they're not at risk from the damn virus.
00:25:30.000 Sorry to get, you know, I get agitated.
00:25:33.000 Not a single child, I think, under the age of 15 in the UK who did not have serious pre-existing illnesses has died even with COVID. Not of it, but with it.
00:25:45.000 Not one.
00:25:45.000 So why would I want to go and vaccinate 10 million children in my country?
00:25:51.000 That's unaccountable.
00:25:53.000 You mentioned before that the risk of an adverse event may be linked to the part of your body where you actually get the jab.
00:26:02.000 I think that the prevalent notion among scientists who have really been thinking a lot about this is that the biggest risk is from pathogenic priming.
00:26:13.000 In other words, People get the antigen in the vaccine, which is just like protein.
00:26:20.000 And because they may have been previously exposed to coronavirus, they have an enhanced immune reaction and a close inflammation throughout their body.
00:26:32.000 And this is what we saw in animal studies where all the animals died.
00:26:36.000 And that's something that's a risk that everybody's known about and warned about.
00:26:41.000 No, I agree it's a risk.
00:26:43.000 I just don't think it's invaluable, shall we say, at this point.
00:26:47.000 What I would say is, yes, it's a risk.
00:26:50.000 Yes, it definitely happened before with experimental products like this, as you say, where I think it was ferrets were vaccinated and they were fine.
00:26:59.000 But if they compare vaccinated ferrets with unvaccinated ferrets and both were exposed, I think it was to a different virus, not this one, that only the vaccinated ones became seriously and then died.
00:27:11.000 As you say, pathogenic priming, antibody-dependent enhancement.
00:27:17.000 Now, the exact mechanism is not understood, but it does involve having previously generated some, perhaps what's called a non-steralizing immunity.
00:27:28.000 It's not a great phrase, but basically insufficient immunity to prevent you being infected at all.
00:27:35.000 And then, for some reason, this inadequate protection opens you to a greater onslaught.
00:27:41.000 It's not invaluable if it occurs.
00:27:44.000 It could be absolutely awful.
00:27:46.000 Millions of people have been exposed to these vaccines.
00:27:51.000 And all I would say is that it goes back to my mantra, which is do not get vaccinated for non-medical reasons.
00:27:57.000 You've no upside.
00:27:59.000 And as you say, Robert, you've just reminded me that there's another risk that we don't know won't occur.
00:28:04.000 And if it does occur, God help us when we get to the winter season.
00:28:09.000 I wish I could put that one to bed.
00:28:11.000 I can't.
00:28:12.000 But I think it just reinforces what I've said.
00:28:15.000 Only the people at measurable elevated risk of death, severe illness and deaths from the virus should chance their arm and give consent.
00:28:25.000 No one else.
00:28:27.000 So, you know, please I think this, and we talked about the children, this cuts across something that's very, very important.
00:28:34.000 We're all aware of two things, I think, converging on us.
00:28:37.000 One is this top-up vaccine.
00:28:39.000 I should touch on briefly.
00:28:41.000 And then the other one is the vaccine.
00:28:44.000 By top-up vaccine, that's a British expression.
00:28:49.000 We call them booster vaccines.
00:28:50.000 Booster, yeah.
00:28:52.000 Booster vaccines.
00:28:54.000 And the danger is...
00:28:56.000 We're being told now that there's going to be these mutant variants that are periodically appear, but thank God we have this mRNA technology that will allow us to vaccinate immediately, formulate a vaccine to each mutant, and then to give that vaccine to the entire population.
00:29:18.000 Then we're going to have a passport That makes sure that you are, as you would call it, topped up.
00:29:25.000 You've had all your boosters.
00:29:27.000 As soon as there's an alert or a new variant coming out, everybody has four months to get their boosters, and without it, you can't travel.
00:29:37.000 And in this way, we become absolute slaves to this whole vaccine paradigm.
00:29:42.000 Yes, it's terrifying.
00:29:44.000 It's absolutely terrifying.
00:29:46.000 Yeah.
00:29:46.000 Just in brief then, I think I can explain it quickly.
00:29:49.000 It is true, as I said earlier, when this virus replicates, it makes time programmable errors.
00:29:54.000 It's actually a really good copier.
00:29:57.000 It makes very few mistakes.
00:29:58.000 It's not like influenza, where it can make big leaps.
00:30:03.000 You know, it can change big chunks of itself because it exchanges bits of genetic information sometimes inside you.
00:30:09.000 And so you see big leaps in the evolution of influenza viruses.
00:30:14.000 And they genuinely do change a new vaccine.
00:30:19.000 So I think this is where, for whatever reason, whoever's playing this stupid game, they're giving you just enough information that it's adjacent to something that's true that is not itself true.
00:30:31.000 So the coronavirus is mutated so slowly.
00:30:34.000 Let me tell you, in 16 months since it was sequenced in Wuhan, China, it's the most different variant.
00:30:42.000 It's still 99.7% identical to the original.
00:30:48.000 That's it.
00:30:52.000 I absolutely assure you, both empirically and theoretically, That a variant of that little change will slither past your immune defenses, whether acquired naturally after infection or by vaccination.
00:31:07.000 So I'm sorry folks, I've asked hundreds of thousands of people through these interviews, immunologists, doctors, scientists, researchers, Challenge me if I'm wrong.
00:31:16.000 I'd love to be wrong.
00:31:18.000 I'd sleep better, but I'm convinced I'm not wrong.
00:31:21.000 And we are being told, and worse than we're being told, some of these companies, Robert, are manufacturing a billion doses of booster virus vaccines.
00:31:32.000 And I think they can't be vaccines because you're already immunized and the change is so slight, you do not need a change.
00:31:39.000 So this is where I fear At best, the scenario you described, Robert, of being controlled and required to receive some expensive top-up.
00:31:49.000 It'd be a way of milking humanity forever whilst also having totalitarian control.
00:31:54.000 You may have seen me say this.
00:31:56.000 I don't know.
00:31:57.000 It's not my crime.
00:31:58.000 I don't know what they're going to do.
00:31:59.000 My fear is the combination of vaccine passports, an app on your phone that has to be valid at all times for you to transact in your normal life, We'll be used to bring you to a centre where you receive your booster jab or top-up jab.
00:32:14.000 And if it is in someone's mind and plan to harm or kill us, that's the way they could do it with plausible deniability.
00:32:23.000 And I think there are enough people who think they need to save the world by culling quite a lot of us.
00:32:28.000 So I've not seen an insider's copy.
00:32:32.000 I don't know that that's their motivation.
00:32:34.000 But what I do know is there's a massive...
00:32:38.000 Deception has been going on since last year about these mutants and variants and a need for a top-up about a booster.
00:32:45.000 That's a massive amount of light.
00:32:47.000 The published literature supports what I've said.
00:32:49.000 That's where I got the information.
00:32:51.000 There's been several dozen really good immunological papers that I've studied.
00:32:56.000 So-called T-cell immunity in people who've been vaccinated or recovered from the virus and asked, if we present these T-cells with every variant that we've got at the time they did the study, do they recognize them or not recognize them?
00:33:10.000 The answer is they all recognize all of the variants.
00:33:13.000 So theoretically, practically, what I've said is true.
00:33:17.000 So you need to challenge The, you know, public health people who are telling you you need to get your jabs, your top-ups, your boosters, because it's not true.
00:33:25.000 And maybe, maybe I'm right, and someone is planning to do some significant harm.
00:33:31.000 Well, one way out of that is not to be in the trapped position that the vaccine passports provide.
00:33:38.000 And as we've discussed, I think, I'm of the view that most people don't need vaccinating at all.
00:33:43.000 They're not a delegated person.
00:33:47.000 Good dyes and maybe some medicines will protect almost all of them.
00:33:50.000 And there is risk in the vaccines currently, the existing first-generation ones.
00:33:55.000 It's probably easily solved.
00:33:56.000 A bit of truth.
00:33:58.000 Reassure people, actually, there's no need to be fearful.
00:34:01.000 We've been told to be fearful, but actually there's nothing to worry about now.
00:34:05.000 I think the event is pretty much over, and I'm much more frightened of things.
00:34:09.000 Of the government denying of the virus.
00:34:12.000 Yeah, I think that's right.
00:34:14.000 Tell us what's happened to you.
00:34:16.000 How has this impacted?
00:34:17.000 Because you did something that we haven't seen before, which is a high-level, you know, Pfizer official, highly respected, stepping forward and talking about misgivings and doing it very publicly and very, very aggressively.
00:34:36.000 What have they done to silence you other than evicting you from all the social media sites?
00:34:42.000 Yeah, okay, yes.
00:34:43.000 I would say there's been a systematic campaign of written pieces about me because one way to affect someone like me who they might think has a reputation or pride is to make me out to be a lunatic.
00:34:57.000 And that's why I was keen to say that before the COVID era, I had never made a public comment about anything.
00:35:04.000 And so they made me out to be the anti-vaxxer darling.
00:35:08.000 I'm not an anti-vaxxer.
00:35:10.000 I'm pro well-developed, well-understood vaccines used appropriately.
00:35:15.000 I'm definitely not pro these things.
00:35:18.000 They don't belong in the same category as those well-understood vaccines.
00:35:22.000 Others said, oh, I'm a bitter ex-employee.
00:35:25.000 Let me tell you, Robert, I had a lovely time at Pfizer, and welcome before that.
00:35:29.000 I loved my career.
00:35:30.000 I had fantastic colleagues, great budget, so I could do the work I wanted to do.
00:35:34.000 But I had a 10-year career after that, and luckily I made more money in that 10 years than in the rest of it.
00:35:41.000 This affects anything.
00:35:42.000 So they've made me out to be either lost my mind or I must have some other agenda.
00:35:49.000 I don't know what it is because I've progressively been pushed off the remaining scientific advisory boards I was on.
00:35:56.000 I enjoyed helping Startup companies, and I was on a few SABs.
00:36:01.000 And I understand why they did it.
00:36:03.000 I understand that the CEOs gradually phoned me up to say, we can't have a controversial person on the board, the advisory board.
00:36:10.000 And I said, I understand, and attended my resignation.
00:36:13.000 So it's cost me friends, reputation, not that I really mind about that.
00:36:18.000 Some people have said it's brave.
00:36:20.000 It would be braver or harder to sit still knowing there's bad things happening and say nothing.
00:36:25.000 And that's why I mystify.
00:36:27.000 And I will say it again, I'm looking them in the eyes.
00:36:29.000 Any of you watching this, people I've worked with over the last 32 years, shame on you.
00:36:34.000 Why aren't you speaking out?
00:36:36.000 Unless you believe everything you're being told is accurate, this is not.
00:36:39.000 And there are several seriously frightening things going on.
00:36:43.000 You know, you must be close to retirement, too.
00:36:45.000 What have you got to lose?
00:36:47.000 You know, so that's the way I treat it.
00:36:49.000 You know, there really isn't anything to lose.
00:36:51.000 There's no peaceful place for me to step back from and just pick up a quiet life.
00:36:55.000 We are being controlled more and more.
00:36:59.000 Today, the European Parliament discussed, I think it's called Green Certificates, something like that, Green Certificates.
00:37:04.000 It's really a vaccine hospital system.
00:37:07.000 And I watched several hours of debates, and most people seem to be in favour of them, and we've lobbied them as well.
00:37:13.000 Maybe 10% understood this is unnecessary and it honestly represents a totalitarian control system.
00:37:21.000 Vaccine passports are nothing like a yellow fever certificate that you need to go to certain parts of Africa.
00:37:29.000 They are the world's first single format, digital ID containing, editable, And then what's called an interoperable database.
00:37:40.000 So it's something that you can show through a system and the system can understand what you've shown them and make a decision to let you enter or not, to do a transaction or not, in real time.
00:37:51.000 There's no system like this.
00:37:53.000 The closest thing we've got is bank cards.
00:37:55.000 But there are many bank cards.
00:37:57.000 There are payment systems that don't use bank cards.
00:38:00.000 There's cash.
00:38:01.000 So you're not really controlled by bank cards.
00:38:03.000 But imagine a world in which there was only Visa.
00:38:06.000 And no other means of pain.
00:38:08.000 Well, now you are in completely the grip to live your life with whoever controls that database and the algorithms that sets what happens when you present your pulse.
00:38:18.000 And so the vaccine passports, it's creating a world's first system that allows whoever And its algorithms, they utterly control everything, really, your ability to cross any threshold, be it a border or entering into a storm, and to spend any of your money if they want.
00:38:37.000 It's easily done.
00:38:38.000 I'm not an IT specialist, and even I can paint how that will be done.
00:38:42.000 But here's my fear.
00:38:43.000 If we allow a vaccine passport system to come into being, then they can start with generous allowances.
00:38:50.000 That is, you can do all sorts of things that you currently can't do under COVID protections.
00:38:55.000 And the goal would be to make it less liberal and so you coerce people who are not vaccinated.
00:39:03.000 And I just think that's what's happening in Israel.
00:39:05.000 I'm fearing it'll happen in Europe if they vote for that legislation.
00:39:10.000 If they do, I'm confident the UK Parliament would follow very swiftly.
00:39:14.000 And that's why I'm thinking already now, I think it's wonderful.
00:39:19.000 I'm sucking up to the Americans.
00:39:20.000 I love the fact we've got a written constitution.
00:39:22.000 We have no written rights and they've just been stripped away.
00:39:27.000 And you also have a federal system.
00:39:29.000 I noticed that some states have chosen to go their own way compared with others.
00:39:33.000 And that's created a natural experiment and that's helped people learn really important things.
00:39:39.000 And so I think two things.
00:39:41.000 One is I think to carry on my assistance, should we say, warning people, I'd probably be best to be in America and perhaps to help a state that is determined not to have, I don't know, scientific exaggeration, force closures of businesses and restrict people in the future.
00:39:59.000 And I think I could help do that.
00:40:01.000 In return, I would like sanctuary.
00:40:02.000 I've applied for visas, but they may take time to come through.
00:40:06.000 But it's growing dark.
00:40:08.000 Lots of people have written bad things about me.
00:40:10.000 There's no upside whatsoever in doing what I'm doing, other than I can say to myself, I tried my best.
00:40:18.000 I probably got stuck in because I can't stand injustice.
00:40:21.000 I've always struggled with Now, if anyone bullies somebody, messages their power, brings an unfairness about, I always respond to that.
00:40:30.000 And then my other attribute, I guess, is I tinker.
00:40:32.000 You use the expression tinker, where you just play with things to try and understand how they work, mess about with.
00:40:38.000 So I've always messed about with old machinery, and I've always messed about with scientific concepts just all the time.
00:40:43.000 And so I've combined those things.
00:40:45.000 I tinkered with what we were being told and framed it, weren't it?
00:40:49.000 And then realized there were injustices and unfairnesses and felt, you know, I've no choice but to say it like I'm seeing it.
00:40:57.000 And I think I've said, I'm very scared about the booster vaccines, top-up vaccines, and not necessary.
00:41:05.000 So what the hell is in those bodies?
00:41:08.000 And the vaccine passport on its own is a totalitarian control system, the like of which Orwell and Huxley never thought of.
00:41:17.000 So I think we can avoid both of these risks by stopping the passports.
00:41:22.000 We can avoid that.
00:41:23.000 It's not necessary.
00:41:25.000 In the UK, almost everybody, I think 99% of people from whom any COVID-19 fatalities came, Have been vaccinated.
00:41:35.000 And also, I don't understand how there are really any remaining vulnerable people.
00:41:40.000 The vaccines genuinely don't work.
00:41:42.000 I think they probably do.
00:41:43.000 But if they don't, then it's the end of the line as well.
00:41:47.000 I can't see any basis for vaccine hotspots.
00:41:50.000 So if you're If 75 and felt vulnerable, had been vaccinated, you're now protected.
00:41:56.000 You don't need to know whether the person on the next seat on the train has been vaccinated or not.
00:42:01.000 You're protected.
00:42:02.000 And obviously, if you're young and carefree and healthy and you're not at significant risk from the virus, you don't care about anybody's immune status either.
00:42:10.000 So you don't need to see the old guy's vaccine passport.
00:42:13.000 The only people who want vaccine passports are the people who are suggesting that they're necessary.
00:42:18.000 Why are they doing that?
00:42:19.000 I don't know exactly, but it's going to give them complete control for whatever.
00:42:24.000 I worry about the simultaneously moving toward these digital currencies.
00:42:33.000 They give them really, really absolute control over all of us when combined with those digital passports.
00:42:42.000 I agree with you.
00:42:43.000 I must say, when I made a little bit of money a few years ago, I realized that I only keep the money, as it were, the beneficence of whoever runs the banking system.
00:42:53.000 If they decide that the digits on my screen aren't real anymore, then it's gone, because they're not real assets.
00:43:00.000 And yes, it does feel like there's a strong push for digital currencies.
00:43:05.000 I always say to people, I don't use cash very much, but do not let the executive ban cash.
00:43:12.000 They don't like it.
00:43:13.000 Yeah, it could be used for criminal behaviour, but criminals are going to have no trouble using blockchain, I assure you.
00:43:19.000 No trouble at all.
00:43:20.000 The idea that we should restrict cash as an anti-crime measure is just a lunatic idea.
00:43:27.000 But the reason they want to get rid of cash, I think, is if you can spend your money sight unseen away from the authorities, legitimately and freely as a free citizen, why should you not do that?
00:43:38.000 And they want that gone.
00:43:40.000 I think, along with these vaccine passports, your life will be controlled by apps, the rules of which are set by other people who are not democratically elected either.
00:43:52.000 So be assured, no need to be fearful anymore about this.
00:43:56.000 We've understood it adequately now.
00:43:58.000 There are several really good medicines just from the medicine chest, like ivermectin and the anti-inflammatory product of steroids and others.
00:44:06.000 So there's a medicine chest, there's probably a good level of herd immunity.
00:44:11.000 For those who've chosen to be the vaccination, there was already some prior immunity in the population because this virus is related to other coronaviruses.
00:44:22.000 There are at least now seven characterised.
00:44:24.000 If you've been exposed to any of the common cold coronaviruses, that would probably give you a degree of protection against this one.
00:44:30.000 And then finally, back to the children.
00:44:32.000 The youngest children tend not to suffer from If they're infected, also very poor at transmitting it.
00:44:39.000 So they don't need vaccines to protect them, and we don't need them vaccinated to protect anybody else.
00:44:45.000 So I'm afraid the only reason that people are proposing they be vaccinated on the pregnant women is so that everybody's vaccinated.
00:44:54.000 If everybody's vaccinated now, you can see that it makes sense to recruit them onto someone.
00:44:58.000 It wouldn't make sense to me, but I can see them selling me up, putting everybody on a database.
00:45:04.000 But the reality is only the Elderly and already ill really benefit from a vaccine.
00:45:09.000 And so unless everybody gets vaccinated, the whole idea of vaccine passports is just non-void because two thirds of people, I think, shouldn't need to present it since they haven't been vaccinated.
00:45:23.000 Every time I speak to somebody, hopefully, Robert, you've got a huge audience.
00:45:27.000 So thank you for letting me use that.
00:45:30.000 And I hope every time A few thousand, maybe a few tens of thousands of people go, wait a minute, this guy's either a lunatic or, oh, crikey, yeah, maybe we're not being told the truth.
00:45:41.000 You're not being told the truth.
00:45:43.000 You're not.
00:45:44.000 It's been exaggerated, made persistent, ineffective measures put in place that I think economy, civil society, your community, and it could get worse.
00:45:56.000 So just say, no more of this.
00:45:59.000 Take back your own lives.
00:46:00.000 Work with people who...
00:46:03.000 I like to think I'm normally a moderate person, and I wouldn't recommend you do something that would be harmful, but you can just take those.
00:46:11.000 If you do that, there are far more of us than there are of whoever the demo.
00:46:16.000 So, you know, it's in our hands for us to take it back.
00:46:21.000 Dr.
00:46:22.000 Michael Yeadon, thank you very much.
00:46:24.000 You are truly a hero.
00:46:26.000 Please let us know when you come to Boston so I can take you out to dinner.
00:46:30.000 All right.
00:46:31.000 Thank you very much.
00:46:32.000 Thank you very much, Michael.
00:46:34.000 Keep doing what you're doing.
00:46:36.000 Take care of your health.
00:46:37.000 Thank you, Mark.
00:46:38.000 Thank you very much.
