The COVID-19 public health emergency, during which the government put a heavy emphasis on the technology of vaccines, was a pivotal moment in government overreach, says Jane Orient, M.D., executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS).
AAPS filed an amicus curiae brief in Murthy v. Missouri, a case challenging collusion between private companies and the Biden administration to censor unapproved medical opinions.
“Whether it was a deliberate experiment or an example of not letting a crisis go to waste, COVID showed how easy it is to manipulate people with fear, and how readily they submit to tyranny based on official opinion,” Orient said. “It also shows how corrupt our regulatory agencies, medical organizations, media, and academic institutions are, seemingly owned by Big Pharma. Dissenting voices are essential and have saved countless lives with information about effective early treatment and vaccine adverse effects.”
‘Magic’ Technology
In his State of the Union speech on March 7, President Biden stated, “The pandemic no longer controls our lives. The vaccines that saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat cancer, turning setback into comeback. That’s what America does.”
Big Pharma has high hopes for mRNA vaccine technology, says Orient.
“The technology that gave us COVID mRNA shots is touted as the magic platform for Warp-speed development of vaccines for Diseases X, Y, Z, et cetera, with no need for testing, and immunity from liability,” said Orient.
“However, the increasing concern about severe adverse effects is cracking the barrier to questioning the huge and growing number of vaccines forced on children,” said Orient. “Might these have something to do with the growing burden of autoimmune and neurodevelopment disorders? Could it be better to treat disease if it occurs rather than try to make permanent alterations to everyone’s immune system—which is poorly understood?”
AMA ‘Committed’ to Vaccines
AAPS’s amicus also responds to an amicus brief filed in Murthy (see related article, today, “Supreme Court Hears Arguments on Social Media Censorship Laws” ) by the American Medical Association (AMA).
“The AMA (and others) are firmly committed to the vaccination approach—what if they are as mistaken as they were about promoting tobacco as safe and effective?” said Orient. “Panic about this possibility might contribute to their support for censorship in their amicus—the need to quash ‘vaccine hesitancy.’”
The U. S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Murthy v. Missouri on March 18. A decision is expected by June.
