The New York Times reports Moderna's vaccine test results even more glowingly—and falsely—than Moderna's own PR department

Here's the headline of the lead story in Tuesday's New York Times.* Click on the link, and 
read that article about the "promising early results" of Moderna's test of its coronavirus
vaccine. 

Then read the commentary (just below) that Robert Kennedy, Jr. posted yesterday on 
Instagram (the only "social media" forum he's allowed to use in this "democracy"). 

From reading both those pieces, you will learn that "America's newspaper of record" 
is as reliable an outlet as Pravda under Stalin, or the Frankfurter Zeitung under Dr.
Goebbels. Just note the discrepancy between the Times' upbeat reference to the 
"8 healthy volunteers" participating (and doing really well!) in Moderna's test, and 
the "15 human guinea pigs" subjected to it—three of whom (to continue quoting 
Kennedy, who quotes Moderna's press release) "suffered a 'serious adverse event' 
within 43 days of receiving Moderna's jab."

How long can this go on, before even that newspaper's most devoted readers see 
that it's every bit as credible as Donald Trump?

*That's the online headline. The headline in the paper paper: "Vaccine's Early
Test Result Elevates Hopes and Stocks."  


Moderna Coronavirus Vaccine Trial Shows Promising Early Results

The company said a test in 8 healthy volunteers found its experimental vaccine was safe and provoked a strong immune response. It is on an accelerated timetable to begin larger human trials soon.

Despite Moderna’s cheery press release [Monday] morning, the clinical trial results for its groundbreaking 
COVID vaccine could not be much worse. The vaccine, developed and championed by Anthony Fauci 
and financed by Bill Gates, used an experimental MRNA technology that the two men hoped would allow 
rapid deployment to meet President Trump’s ambitions “warp speed” time line. Dr Fauci was so confident 
of his shot’s  safety that he waived ferret and primate studies. (Moderna suspiciously reported no health 
data from its mouse studies.) 

That appears to have been a mistake. Three of the 15 human guinea pigs in the high dose cohort (250 mcg)
suffered a “serious adverse event” within 43 days of receiving Moderna’s jab. Moderna did not release its 
clinical trial study or raw data, but its press release,which was freighted with inconsistencies, acknowledged 
that three volunteers developed Grade 3 systemic events defined by the FDA as “Preventing daily activity and 
requiring medical intervention." Moderna allowed only exceptionally healthy volunteers to participate in the 
study. A vaccine with those reaction rates could cause grave injuries in 1.5 billion humans if administered 
to “every person on earth”. That is the threshold that Gates has established for ending the global lockdown.

Moderna did not explain why it reported positive antibody tests for only eight participants. These outcomes 
are particularly disappointing because the most hazardous hurdle for the inoculation is still ahead: challenging 
participants with wild COVID infection. Past attempts at developing COVID vaccines have always faltered at 
this stage, as both humans and animals achieved robust antibody response, then sickened and died when 
exposed to the wild virus. 

Moderna’s press announcement heralded “Positive Interim Phase 1 findings.” I have forwarded that claim to 
my colleagues in securities law. FTC rules restrict the amount of lipstick public companies may slather on 
bad donkeys.
