Vaccine Amnesia: Why Did The Media Stop Covering Vaccine Disasters?

Forgotten news segments show how widely acknowledged vaccine injuries were before the media was bought out by the pharmaceutical industry

= = = 

Story at a Glance:
• Something about vaccines (e.g., their promise of a simple injection being sufficient to safely and effectively end all diseases) has always deeply appealed to the minds of government officials.
• Unfortunately, that promise is often a lie, so over and over, unsafe and ineffective vaccines enter the market. When this happens, the officials who are invested in them do everything they can to protect the vaccines from scrutiny and cover up each red flag that emerges and the medical field has dutifully complied.

• In previous decades, the press was much less corrupt than it is now and occasionally would air real investigations into what happened which highlighted the immense suffering many have faced.

• Collectively, these segments both show how much more candid the media used to be about the issues, and how closely many of them match what we see now.
• Since those TV programs made many who were suffering from the vaccine injuries realize they were not alone, this created a massive PR problem the vaccine industry, which was eventually solved by preventing any future segments from airing.

 

This article was written in the hope that collective amnesia could be broken as we are now at the precipice of the pharmaceutical industry’s grip over the media being broken.

. . .

Since the risks outweigh the benefits for most vaccines (detailed here), a mass vaccination paradigm can only be sustained by censoring all evidence of harm, and then using that absence of evidence as proof the vaccines are safe. As such, over the decades, we’ve seen more and more be done to conceal those harms.

More rubbish from an anoymous anti-vaxer internet blogger:

 

Per the New York Times:

 

"This subject is uncomfortable because it feeds into false stories about the Covid vaccines that many Americans have come to believe — namely, that the vaccines are ineffective or have side effects that exceed their benefits. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, has promoted these stories, as have some Republican politicians and conservative media figures. “The scale of misinformation,” Dr. Joshua Sharfstein of Johns Hopkins University told Apoorva, “is staggering.”

 

So let me be clear: The benefits of the Covid vaccines have far outweighed the downsides, according to a voluminous amount of data and scientific studies from around the world. In the U.S. alone, the vaccines have saved at least several hundred thousand lives and perhaps more than one million, studies estimate. Rates of death, hospitalization and serious illness have all been much higher among the unvaccinated than the vaccinated. [emphasis added]

 

Not only are the vaccines’ benefits enormous, but the true toll of the side effects may be lower than the perceived toll: Experts told Apoorva that some people who believe Covid vaccines have harmed them are probably wrong about the cause of their problems."

ICMRA statement on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines

This International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA)* statement provides the general public with important information regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, which have now been in use for more than two years. It also addresses some of the most common types of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccine safety.

 

• COVID-19 vaccines significantly reduce the risk of severe disease, hospitalisation and death from infection with SARS-CoV-2. 
   
• Evidence from the more than 13 billions of vaccine doses given worldwide shows that COVID-19 vaccines have a very good safety profile in all age groups. The benefits of the approved vaccines far outweigh the possible risks.
   
• As for all medicines, reports of medical events after COVID-19 vaccination (suspected side effects) are collected and continuously evaluated by the authorities. These evaluations show that in most cases the medical events were not caused by the vaccine. [emphasis added]
   
• False and misleading information about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines on social media often exaggerates the frequency and severity of side effects. Misinformation also wrongly attributes unrelated medical events to the vaccines. Vaccine misinformation leading individuals to decline vaccination has very likely led to many more deaths than adverse effects of the vaccines.

No need to provide a source for statements/articles on this sub-forum, but it's obvious from what I highlighted in your post, that this article is already at least 3 years old.  And in the mean time it has been proven wrong by all the evidence of Covid-19 'vaccine' harm that was published since the High-Days of Fauci and his cronies...

‘Died suddenly’ posts twist tragedies to push vaccine lies

 February 4, 2023

...

"those facts didn’t matter online, where Anastasia was swiftly added to a growing list of hundreds of children, teens, athletes and celebrities whose unexpected deaths and injuries have been incorrectly blamed on COVID-19 shots. Using the hashtag #diedsuddenly, online conspiracy theorists have flooded social media with news reports, obituaries and GoFundMe pages in recent months, leaving grieving families to wrestle with the lies. [emphasis added]

 

There’s the 37-year-old Brazilian television host who collapsed live on air because of a congenital heart problem. The 18-year-old unvaccinated bull rider who died from a rare disease. The 32-year-old actress who died from bacterial infection complications.

...

Rigorous study and real-world evidence from hundreds of millions of administered shots prove that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Deaths caused by vaccination are extremely rare and the risks associated with not getting vaccinated are far higher than the risks of vaccination. But that hasn’t stopped conspiracy theorists from lobbing a variety of untrue accusations at the vaccines. [emphasis added]

...

An AP review of more than 100 tweets from the account in December and January found that claims about the cases being vaccine related were largely unsubstantiated and, in some cases, contradicted by public information. Some of the people featured died of genetic disorders, drug overdoses, flu complications or suicide. One died in a surfing accident.

ICRMA hasn't updated their statement, or needed to, because the underlying facts -- as opposed to anonymous anti-vaxer nonsense -- haven't changed:

Study finds no safety issue with most recent mRNA COVID vaccines

July 30, 2025

 

"At a time when federal officials are calling into question the safety and necessity of COVID-19 vaccines, the mRNA COVID vaccine version used this past season showed no elevated risk of any of the 29 serious adverse events that researchers in Denmark assessed.

 

The nationwide cohort study, published this week in JAMA Network Open, included 1,585,883 people (54% female), of whom 1,012,400 (64%) received the updated mRNA COVID vaccines containing the JN.1 lineage. 

...

No increased risk of 29 adverse events

...

They found no statistically significant increases in the rate of hospital contacts for any of 29 adverse events during the 28-day period after patients received an mRNA vaccine.

No, it hasn’t – and your insistence on using absolutes only highlights how shaky many of your arguments are.

 

No one with a shred of scientific literacy claims vaccines are perfect – that would be impossible. But what is beyond dispute is that vaccines have saved hundreds of millions of lives. Time and time again, data from decades of global research show that vaccines do far more good than harm. Any risk, statistically speaking, is negligible compared to the catastrophic outcomes we’d see without them. That includes the Covid and mRNA vaccines, which have prevented millions of hospitalisations and deaths worldwide, as confirmed by independent studies across the US, UK, and Europe.

 

As for RFK Jr – he’s now becoming a serious embarrassment to the anti-vax movement. His statements are so riddled with scientific errors that they can be debunked in seconds by anyone with even a basic grasp of biology or epidemiology.

Your “saviour”, the man many believed would expose a global conspiracy, has instead resorted to cherry-picking data, twisting studies, and outright fabrication. Whether that’s through wilful ignorance or deliberate deceit doesn’t even matter at this point – the result is the same: he’s misleading people and eroding public trust in life-saving science - but fortunately he's doing so in such a poor manner, only the fools and idiots still follow him - do you really want to follow someone who can't even pronounce the chemicals he discusses ?

Ohh, the news media still do cover vaccine disasters, just not the imaginary false ones you keep trying to hoodwink people with... Here's the real one:

 

‘RFK Jr is a disaster’: Staff describe chaos in ‘anti-science’ regime

Officials in US health agencies fear ‘people will get sick’ as programmes are slashed and scientists are fired under the constant surveillance of Doge

June 20 2025

...

"Ever since Robert F Kennedy Jr was appointed health secretary in February, more than 10,000 staff — many with decades of experience — have been fired. Now, the tens of thousands of health workers and scientists still employed by the US government feel like their lives have been turned upside down, according to ten current and former staff at the CDC, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), speaking to The Times.

 

Under instruction from Kennedy and Doge, health priorities have been reset, longstanding scientific norms disrupted and thousands of research programmes cancelled because of their perceived “wokeness”, officials said.

...

“RFK Jr is a disaster,” said one CDC grant specialist who joined the agency within the past five years. “He is completely dismantling things to the point where the damage is going to become irreparable.”

Doctor!!

 

'My wife just died just a day after her 4th booster. What happened to her?'

'Just one of those things. Maybe dodgy ancestor genes.'

'And, my brother is very ill after his fifth booster?'

'Obviously down to Long Covid. It's going around.'

'But he was up to date with his shots. How? Could it be the vaccine doc?'

'No, no, no! They are safe and effective. Just heard it again on the BBC Nine o'clock news.'

'Now what did you say was wrong with you? Never mind. Have you had your flu jab yet? See the nurse, and these pills will sort out your anxiety problems.'

 

IMO, the phrase 'safe and effective', will be the white-coats downfall. Sooner or later they will have to admit they are anything but; and they got it hopelessly wrong. Hopefully the apathetic public will take note.
