00:00:00.000 The FDA just gave their approval to the COVID vaccine, and we're going to talk with a life
00:00:07.100 site specialist, Celeste McGovern, who's been covering the issue of the vaccines, talking
00:00:11.180 to doctors since really the beginning of the pandemic, and we're going to get the goods.
00:00:15.860 In fact, she's got for us a top 10 list of why this so-called approval is not one at
00:00:22.620 all.
00:00:22.780 In fact, it's there to force the vaccine on everyone.
00:00:26.580 Stay tuned.
00:00:30.000 Celeste McGovern, welcome to the program.
00:00:47.940 Thanks, John Henry.
00:00:49.020 Glad to be here.
00:00:50.100 Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:00:52.660 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
00:00:56.640 Amen.
00:00:56.920 So, Celeste, you have been covering this issue for a long time now, but I'm sure you've
00:01:03.460 never seen anything like this.
00:01:04.660 But what we want to get from you today is your top 10 list, which I know you're putting out
00:01:08.780 on LifeSite News, but your top 10 list about the FDA approval that was just handed down.
00:01:15.060 What's happened here is just as the COVID vaccines have been warp-speeded through development and
00:01:23.060 ushered over hurdles and barriers moved to put them on the market to us under an EUA, the FDA
00:01:32.500 has now just broken its own protocols to give the final green light.
00:01:39.760 It's a gold standard FDA-approved label to Pfizer's mRNA vaccine.
00:01:48.440 I would say that the top reason I've cited that this is not reassuring, that this really
00:01:56.200 just means that the FDA approval is not about our health and safety or public health, but
00:02:02.640 it's not about mandating the vaccines, is that the drug is still experimental.
00:02:08.380 These are novel mRNA, messenger RNA vaccines that hijack our own human cellular machinery and
00:02:18.760 cause it to manufacture the coronavirus notorious spike protein on their own.
00:02:26.320 This has never before been done in humans.
00:02:28.700 We are less than a year, everyone knows, months from the rollout of the vaccine.
00:02:36.240 And so by definition, it is still experimental.
00:02:40.440 This is a new platform, a new technology, never used before, with known and unknown risks,
00:02:48.960 many unknown long-term risks on fertility, on COVID itself, on cancer, on the immune system,
00:02:56.400 all unanswered questions.
00:02:58.380 As well, this vaccine is still in clinical trials.
00:03:03.520 Pfizer's clinical trials were initially constructed the last two years and go to May 2023.
00:03:10.320 We're still in 2021.
00:03:11.800 And these are experimental drugs, whether you call them experimental or not, which is what
00:03:19.200 the FDA has just done.
00:03:21.060 The other thing the FDA has done, which I would say is point two on this, is that they have
00:03:26.360 skipped the external review.
00:03:28.200 So rather than having independent scientists look at the open book data from Pfizer, they've
00:03:39.160 basically done a closed-door process.
00:03:42.440 Kim Witschak, who is an FDA drug reviewer on an advisory committee, came out in June with
00:03:50.600 a petition in the British Medical Journal imploring Pfizer to open the doors before it did this
00:03:59.000 FDA approval and saying this should not be approved until 2022, at least.
00:04:04.860 Kim Witschak's letter is then was an updated letter was posted in the BMJ just a few days ago,
00:04:12.200 in which she cited, she said, we basically have had no access to the data.
00:04:17.540 And what they have seen is six months of data.
00:04:22.820 When trials were set up for two years before approval was to be sought, they've now done it
00:04:31.160 with six months of data.
00:04:32.360 So they've just skipped a year and a half and not opened the data on that.
00:04:37.220 Another thing that Witschak pointed to is the fact that there are no controls.
00:04:41.860 Every high schooler knows that you need, in a gold standard trial, a placebo and an experiment
00:04:50.140 group.
00:04:51.140 The Pfizer erased the placebo group and decided to give the shots to the control group months
00:05:00.980 ago.
00:05:01.200 So now any long-term effect that might have been detected in the experimental group and
00:05:07.500 not in the control group are erased.
00:05:11.440 We can't see that.
00:05:13.320 Absolutely making a mockery of science while they just try to foist this vaccine on everybody.
00:05:18.120 Incredible.
00:05:18.440 I mean, a control group is a pretty basic concept and there is no control.
00:05:24.320 In fact, I would say that the unvaccinated are the only remaining control. 1.00
00:05:28.960 And the mission of this FDA approval is to erase that group as well.
00:05:34.000 Wow.
00:05:34.260 So that we can never see what the effect is without the vaccine, that all long-term effects
00:05:39.520 are then attributed to other causes rather than the vaccine.
00:05:43.240 The other thing is that, which Witschak pointed to in the BMJ, was the fact that there has been
00:05:51.560 no published data on the biodistribution and the pharmacokinetics of the vaccine ingredients.
00:06:01.400 Like, we haven't seen it.
00:06:02.880 We were leaked.
00:06:04.240 In fact, one unpublished study of Pfizer's biodistribution study in animals, lab animals, where the lipoprotein
00:06:14.280 that encases the mRNA was injected into lab animals.
00:06:18.660 And that was followed.
00:06:20.180 That data was leaked.
00:06:22.240 And it was incredibly disturbing.
00:06:24.580 It showed that this lipoprotein that was supposed to remain in the muscle cells at the injection
00:06:29.920 site, in fact, was measurable in every organ tested.
00:06:34.240 And especially concentrated in ovaries. 0.89
00:06:37.120 I mean, it's astonishing.
00:06:39.460 And it's not good for mass marketing.
00:06:43.240 You know, none of these, why didn't Pfizer do a trial, a published biodistribution experiment
00:06:50.560 where they inject the vaccine and follow it through the animals, sacrifice the animals,
00:06:56.440 and look at where it goes for all of us to see with every ingredient.
00:07:00.200 It hasn't been done.
00:07:01.060 And I think that most people who have gotten the shots, first of all, thought it was approved
00:07:05.460 already.
00:07:07.040 And second of all, assume that these kind of studies have been done.
00:07:11.760 And they haven't.
00:07:13.220 Or if they have, they've not been published because the results are learned.
00:07:16.460 Other things besides the hidden data is the fact that Peter Doshi, who is a senior editor
00:07:26.940 at the BMJ, points to is that he calls it the elephant or likens it to an elephant in
00:07:33.720 the room.
00:07:34.340 And he says, we have this problem of weaning immunity.
00:07:37.400 There are tens of thousands.
00:07:40.860 Well, there were tens of thousands of breakthrough cases of COVID in the fully vaccinated as of
00:07:45.860 May.
00:07:46.400 We're now in August.
00:07:48.080 And the CDC stopped counting those cases unless they were hospitalized or died.
00:07:53.140 So we have this phenomenon of fully vaccinated people being infected with the COVID virus and
00:08:02.740 spreading it around.
00:08:04.480 What this 95, in fact, the FDA's letter of approval cites Pfizer's initial clinical data
00:08:12.660 that the vaccine, its vaccine is 95% effective.
00:08:16.660 This is the figure we've heard since the beginning, back in November, October last year, is that
00:08:23.740 this is 95% effective.
00:08:25.980 Well, that number was very dodgy to begin with and controversial for what it meant for the
00:08:32.040 individual and not the population.
00:08:34.020 It certainly doesn't provide 95% effectiveness to the individual.
00:08:39.480 Israel's Ministry of Health data shows that it is by early July, that 95% effectiveness
00:08:46.660 had waned to 65% and by late July to 39%.
00:08:53.360 The latest data of a month ago is that you have a 39% effective vaccine, not a 95% effective
00:09:00.800 vaccine.
00:09:01.160 And the FDA's own requirement is that the vaccine, if you go back to the beginning of the pandemic,
00:09:10.140 a vaccine must be 50% effective.
00:09:12.620 So it's not even meeting the FDA's own low standards for approval now.
00:09:21.180 And they've just ignored that initial bar.
00:09:24.140 It's gone.
00:09:24.900 You add this to the fact that Biden is now, the real objective of this FDA approval is to
00:09:31.920 to give a green light to government agencies and businesses to override people's freedom
00:09:42.940 of conscience and the principle of informed consent so that they face no legal repercussions
00:09:52.100 for forcing this vaccine on people against their will.
00:09:55.280 So already we've seen the announcement was made by the FDA yesterday.
00:10:00.840 And immediately following that, the Pentagon announced that all military personnel would
00:10:07.440 be required to take the vaccine.
00:10:10.820 Immediately following that announcement, New York Mayor de Blasio said all New York school
00:10:16.360 teachers would be required to have the vaccine by September and there would be no opt-out
00:10:21.340 with testing.
00:10:22.120 So it's very clear.
00:10:24.740 And then Biden himself came out and made that very clear.
00:10:27.640 And he said, you know, if you were hesitating about this, I'm paraphrasing, but he said,
00:10:33.180 if you were hesitating about this, well, now you have FDA approval.
00:10:37.780 You go ahead and do what I did.
00:10:39.420 And you forced your employees to get this.
00:10:42.160 So the real purpose of this is not safety.
00:10:45.880 It's not public health.
00:10:47.000 It's strong arming the public in a way that violates basic ethics, cornerstone medical ethics like
00:10:55.840 the Nuremberg Code, which said, you know, when we came out of World War II, we saw the horrors
00:11:02.380 of forced experiments by the Nazis on the Jews and said, we will never, ever do that again.
00:11:09.340 We encoded it in the Nuremberg Code.
00:11:11.160 No one will ever be forced to participate in an experiment.
00:11:15.340 So now they're just saying this isn't an experiment, but it is an experiment.
00:11:19.500 It's an ongoing experiment.
00:11:21.140 And we have no idea of the long-term effects.
00:11:24.580 And while people are being put under strict regulations, people as young as 16 now, but I
00:11:31.800 can guarantee that this FDA stamp of approval will quickly extend to children under 16.
00:11:39.600 And then to our toddlers and our infants, ordinary citizens are being subjected to strict regulations.
00:11:49.580 Criminal recidivists like Pfizer are getting the pass from government.
00:11:53.900 We are being aided and abetted in this, allowing this experiment on people against their will and without informed consent.
00:12:04.420 So, I mean, I'm not using that as an analogy, by the way, that Pfizer is truly a criminal recidivist.
00:12:12.400 It is a company that paid out the largest payout in history for illegally promoting a drug for purposes that the FDA said was not safe.
00:12:28.240 It has a track record of violating the law and basic tenets of medical ethics.
00:12:34.380 So, we are basically in the hands of an administration that is allowing a criminal recidivist to foist its experimental drug on people who are unwilling.
00:12:50.660 It's an unbelievable thing.
00:12:53.020 We have over and over and over again, we're confirmed in the fact that this has nothing to do with a virus.
00:12:59.400 This has nothing to do with science.
00:13:01.040 This is all some political ploy, some kind of ploy for control of people, because none of it made sense scientifically from the start.
00:13:10.940 You had all of the, you know, public transportation still available where you sit side by side.
00:13:16.540 But, oh, God forbid you'd go to church because there you have to sit in a mask with this and that and probably won't let you in.
00:13:22.920 And if we do let you in, it's going to be at 5%, while stores, well, they can be at 25% or 50%.
00:13:27.560 The inequality was unbelievable and totally unscientific.
00:13:32.660 And what's lost in all of this, too, John Henry, is the fact that we have lessons of medical hubris and huge tragedies from experiments in the past.
00:13:45.100 Young people have never learned about horrors, medical horrors like thalidomide.
00:13:52.700 Thalidomide was a drug that was doled out like bubblegum to pregnant women who were told it's perfectly safe to treat their nausea, a harmless thing in pregnancy.
00:14:04.180 And they wound up, you know, it wasn't stopped until those women started delivering babies had flippers for limbs. 1.00
00:14:10.500 Thousands of children were born, thousands of children died, but others lived their lives with horrific disabilities, missing digits, missing limbs.
00:14:23.320 The horror stories in medicine are, I mean, there's a long laundry list.
00:14:28.100 DES was another drug given out in the 60s to pregnant women. 1.00
00:14:32.280 And they didn't discover the side effects of that until those pregnant women's babies developed. 0.95
00:14:39.320 And then they found that they developed a rare, I mean, there were grown women or young women when they developed a rare vaginal cancer.
00:14:46.760 So it was years and years later that the signal emerged.
00:14:50.460 And we've also seen horror stories from former vaccines.
00:14:55.620 It was only 2009 in the last wine flu pandemic that the pandemics vaccine was doled out in Europe.
00:15:07.180 And the signal of narcolepsy in hundreds and hundreds of cases, mostly children, who developed the brain disorder narcolepsy, which is a devastating sleep disorder.
00:15:19.740 It causes people to collapse like a rag doll several times a day.
00:15:22.960 You'll never drive a car.
00:15:25.120 You'll never, you know, it's a very limiting and devastating disease.
00:15:30.080 And this affected something like the 1,400 children, mostly in Europe, mostly children.
00:15:38.600 And that vaccine was pulled off the market.
00:15:41.540 But, you know, the GBS, the Guillain-Barre syndrome, was another disorder that was found in the 1970s pandemic swine flu vaccine.
00:15:54.160 We're having GBS now from these vaccines.
00:15:58.820 It's already emerging.
00:16:01.080 People think that, oh, these lessons are learned.
00:16:03.280 It was 2017 when the Dengvaxia vaccine was put out in the Philippines and hundreds of children died.
00:16:11.940 Because Sanofi's Dengvaxia vaccine actually made the disease worse in children.
00:16:18.800 The vaccinated children suffered worse from Deng when they contracted it than if they had been unvaccinated.
00:16:24.640 This resulted in dozens of health officials being prosecuted, criminally prosecuted, and Dengvaxia being pulled.
00:16:33.220 But that ordeal is still, you know, percolating.
00:16:36.540 It happens today, and what I think is the most terrifying thing about this is that this is happening on such an unprecedented and grand scale, it's hard not to fear what is going to unfold.
00:16:52.620 Because it seems like we already have 9,000 deaths from Pfizer's vaccine-recorded deaths.
00:17:00.060 And this is just according to VAERS, or is this?
00:17:02.120 This is VAERS data is showing just for Pfizer, 9,000 reports of deaths, 16,000 permanent disabilities.
00:17:12.020 And we know that VAERS only captures a fraction of those.
00:17:17.300 Yeah.
00:17:17.600 We're not getting the whole picture.
00:17:19.780 And it took years for them to capture the narcolepsy in children with, it wasn't until 2011 that the signal on the narcolepsy came up.
00:17:31.060 It's two years later.
00:17:32.120 We've had already, in just months, unexpected side effects like blood clotting, fatal blood clotting, lethal, like potentially lethal, rare events that were not even on the screen to show up, at least not in the public screen to show up.
00:17:50.520 And then they've just said, oh, okay, well, it's a small risk.
00:17:53.400 Keep going.
00:17:54.520 Last week, Moderna was added to the FDA's watch list for cases of myocarditis.
00:18:02.920 Turns out that the risk of myocarditis in young people is now 12 in a million.
00:18:08.480 You remember they told us, oh, it's a one in a million chance of anything serious.
00:18:11.840 Well, just for myocarditis.
00:18:13.260 It's 12 in a million for young people that you develop a potentially fatal heart condition.
00:18:23.160 Why do we think that Pfizer's is just going to be any different from Moderna's and be perfectly clear?
00:18:28.880 It's the same technology.
00:18:30.060 I honestly find this just a, it's a terrifying situation.
00:18:38.220 It is, it is.
00:18:39.860 And I wanted to just thank you for your coverage at LifeSite.
00:18:42.660 We're, I think, you know, having experts like yourself writing on these subjects, being very conversant with the doctors who are trying, despite getting cancelled for it and facing all kinds of ramifications for it, speaking out for the good of humanity.
00:18:59.720 And, you know, to try and save people because they're watching what's happening in patients.
00:19:04.180 Anyway, thank you for your coverage.
00:19:07.160 And I encourage everyone to go to LifeSite News and check out Celeste McGovern and all of her writings there, most of which have covered COVID for these last months.
00:19:18.200 Thanks so much.
00:19:19.340 God bless you, Celeste, and God bless all of you.
00:19:21.500 We'll see you next time.
00:19:24.220 Hi, this is John Henry Weston, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSite News.
00:19:28.260 This is John Henry Weston, the co-founder and director of LifeSite News.
00:19:58.240 We knew this day would come.
00:20:00.620 We have been warning everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative platforms to continue to reach you.
00:20:08.620 We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms I'm going to explain in a minute.
00:20:12.700 But the most important thing to do is come direct to LifeSiteNews.com because there we will always be.
00:20:19.980 But we've also established ourselves on platforms like Parler and MeWe and our videos can be found on Rumble as well.
00:20:27.000 We would love to see each of you on those platforms too, as they are not censoring or suppressing the truth that we are sharing every single day.
00:20:36.400 More than these alternative social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe to our email newsletter.
00:20:42.780 We have really built up a large list of loyal readers on our email marketing platform, and we have prepared several backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's really when, we are removed from our current platform as well.
00:20:58.140 Additionally, I really encourage you, as I said before, to make it a regular habit to go directly to LifeSiteNews.com.
00:21:06.380 Make it your homepage.
00:21:08.440 While all of these different platforms are an excellent way to curate your news, going directly to our website means that you will never encounter any censorship or sudden loss of LifeSite News reporting.
00:21:20.600 Again, here's the thing, we will never stop sharing the truth.
00:21:25.840 We founded this organization with the mission to be the life, family, and culture source for men and women who seek to know the truth.
00:21:34.460 We have established a track record of honest reports, and this will never stop, even with censorship happening around the globe.
00:21:43.140 Again, I'm encouraging you to join us on Parler, MeWe, Rumble, and on our email list.
00:21:50.240 You can find all the direct links in the description of this video.
00:21:55.080 May God bless you and keep you, and we are so thankful that you've chosen to follow and support LifeSite News.
00:22:01.740 I'm John Henry Weston, co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSite News.
