His Open Letter, Video Interview and High-Profile Supporters<\/em><\/h3>\n

by Rosemary Frei, MSc<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Truth Comes To Light March 16, 2021<\/h1>\n

On March 6, an\u00a0open letter<\/a>\u00a0by Geert Vanden Bossche, PhD, DVM, and a\u00a0video interview<\/a>\u00a0of him by Phillip McMillan, MD, from a company called Vejon Health, were posted online.<\/p>\n

On the surface, Vanden Bossche appears to perhaps be addressing credible concerns about Covid.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s saying that the current crop of Covid vaccines will cause the novel coronavirus to mutate into a \u201csuper-infectious virus.\u201d And therefore he\u2019s calling for an immediate halt of the use of the current vaccines.<\/p>\n

If humans are \u201ccommitted to perpetuating our species, we have no choice but to eradicate these highly infectious viral variants\u201d via \u201clarge vaccination campaigns,\u201d Vanden Bossche claims at the conclusion of his open letter. But in contrast to the currently used Covid vaccines, these new vaccines must focus on stimulation of mass production of the component of the immune system known as natural killer cells, he asserts.<\/p>\n

However, Vanden Bossche bases his\u00a0views\u00a0on unproven hypotheses<\/strong>. This is similar to, and builds on, high-profile modeling-paper authors who use theoretical frameworks to inflame fears about the\u00a0supposed dangerousness<\/a>\u00a0of the new variants.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Vanden Bossche\u2019s views were very quickly and positively received by high-profile vaccine sceptics such as Dell Bigtree\u00a0<\/strong>in his\u00a0March 11 episode<\/a>\u00a0(starting at 57:25)\u00a0and Vernon Coleman<\/strong>\u00a0in his\u00a0March 13 video<\/a>\u00a0and article.<\/p>\n

Bigtree and Coleman virtually unquestioningly accept and amplify Vanden Bossche\u2019s views.\u00a0They strongly insinuate to\u00a0their\u00a0overwhelmingly credulous subscribers\u00a0that there\u2019s\u00a0virtually\u00a0no fact-checking or pause for\u00a0sober\u00a0second thought required<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But from my experience as a former long-time medical writer and journalist (1988-2016) \u2014 particularly a four-month stint with media-relations giant FleishmanHillard in 1994 (yes, I\u2019ve worked for the dark side) \u2014\u00a0this has all the hallmarks of a\u00a0drug-company<\/a>\u00a0astroturf<\/a>\u00a0campaign<\/strong>. It\u2019s another step in the decades-long erasure of the fact that our sophisticated and highly effective immune systems work well and don\u2019t need any assistance from the biomedical\/pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s abundant evidence that Vanden Bossche has a not-so-hidden agenda. For example, just before the three-minute mark in the video interview of Vanden Bossche by McMillan, Vanden Bossche indicates he\u2019s a long-time vaccine developer. He adds he\u2019s now focusing on vaccines that \u201ceducate the immune system in ways that are to some extent more efficient than we do right now with our conventional vaccines.\u201d\u00a0Clearly he\u2019s got significant conflicts of interest.\u00a0Therefore he has zero credibility\u00a0when it comes to advising the public\u00a0about\u00a0how to avoid negative effects of mass vaccination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, Bigtree, Coleman and others don\u2019t point out these and other red flags. In fact these high-profile alternative-media figures don\u2019t even do basic due diligence such as looking into McMillan, who\u2019s the man who interviewed Vanden Bossche, or the company McMillan\u2019s apparently affiliated with, Vejon Health. Bigtree, for example, relies heavily on the McMillan interview for the content of his March 11 segment.<\/p>\n

As far as I know, McMillan and Vanden Bosch aren\u2019t among the thousands of MDs, PhDs, and other people with graduate degrees or equivalent qualifications who have thoroughly debunked the official Covid narrative over the last 12 months. Rather, the pair suddenly popped out of the woodwork.<\/p>\n

Also, McMillan isn\u2019t anything close to an expert on vaccines. He describes himself as a \u201cdementia authority.\u201d The most recently published paper of his that I can find is from\u00a02016<\/a>\u00a0and is on Alzheimer\u2019s in the journal\u00a0Medical Hypotheses.<\/em>\u00a0(In that paper he and his co-author propose nutritional supplementation to lower the body\u2019s burden of aluminum, a high level of which is linked to Alzheimer\u2019s.) In addition, when one clicks on\u00a0http:\/\/www.vejonhealth.com<\/a>\u00a0one gets a message indicating the website isn\u2019t in use. Indeed, Vejon appears to be a\u00a0dormant<\/a>\u00a0company.<\/p>\n

So I ignored McMillan\u2019s interview and Vanden Bossche\u2019s open letter when I first learned about them last week. But then on March 12 I was contacted by the producer of something called the Gary Null show on the \u2018Progressive Radio Network<\/a>.\u2019 The producer, Richard Gale, asked me to be a guest. I agreed to do the interview on March 15.<\/p>\n

About 1.5 hours before the interview was to start, I contacted Gale and asked what the interview would focus on. Gale told me Null wanted to discuss Bigtree\u2019s segment on the Vanden Bossche letter and he sent me a link to the segment.\u00a0So I\u00a0quickly\u00a0read the\u00a0open\u00a0letter\u00a0and watched the full interview and Bigtree segment on it.\u00a0A field of red flags popped up in my mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the appointed interview start time of 12:30 pm on March 15, Null proceeded to read live to air, for about 12 minutes, some key points from the open letter. He told the audience to take them seriously. Then Null put me on the air. But he wouldn\u2019t let me talk about the letter. Instead, he repeatedly interrupted my efforts to do so and insisted I only discuss the new variants. So I hung up. And I\u2019ve been edited out of the archived\u00a0broadcast<\/a>\u00a0of Null\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to be interviewed live starting at 4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time today (March 16) by\u00a0Ryan Cristi\u00e1n<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0The Last American Vagabond<\/em>\u00a0about the Vanden Bossche letter and McMillan interview. Apparently Ryan\u2019s on the same page as me.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, my tweets about the\u00a0open letter<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Null interview<\/a>\u00a0have gotten a lot of reaction. And, as it happens, since Sunday people have been emailing to encourage me to read Vanden Bossche\u2019s letter and watch his interview. Many are swayed by his calling for an immediate half of the current crop of Covid vaccines and by the fact that people like Bigtree are propagating his messages.<\/p>\n

So I decided to write this article to expose a few of the dozens of clues that this curious case is a continuation of the overall Covid deception.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some more of those clues:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In his\u00a0March 11 segment<\/a>, Bigtree shows a slide with Vanden Bossche\u2019s background. It indicates he\u2019s affiliated with the Bill & Melinda\u00a0Gates Foundation,\u00a0the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI<\/a>), GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and other\u00a0vaccine proponents<\/a>.\u00a0Dell\u00a0dubs\u00a0Vanden Bossche\u00a0a\u00a0\u201cworld-renowned vaccine creator.\u201d\u00a0Coleman\u00a0calls him<\/a>\u201ca very eminent vaccine specialist.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But,\u00a0when combined with the contents of his open letter,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0impossible to\u00a0believe\u00a0that he\u2019s\u00a0in fact\u00a0an insider who\u2019s\u00a0now\u00a0going against his\u00a0very high-powered\u00a0comrades.\u00a0(More on this below.)<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s more likely\u00a0that\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0their accomplice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Another\u00a0indication\u00a0that\u00a0the letter is\u00a0designed to propagandize rather than\u00a0to let objective\u00a0evidence\u00a0speak for itself\u00a0is the\u00a0wording\u00a0Vanden Bossche uses.\u00a0He writes,\u00a0for example,\u00a0that he\u00a0was\u00a0\u201cracing against the clock\u201d to write \u201cthis agonizing letter\u201d in which he \u201cput[s] all of my reputation and credibility at stake\u201d\u00a0to help \u201cturn the tide\u201d\u00a0against this \u201cirrepressible monster\u201d\u00a0that the virus could soon become\u00a0unless we heed\u00a0Vanden Bossche<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In his open letter\u00a0Vanden Bossche\u00a0also\u00a0writes,\u00a0\u201cI can assure you that each of the current vaccines have been designed, developed and manufactured by brilliant and competent scientists.\u201d\u00a0However, he\u00a0doesn\u2019t say a word about\u00a0the\u00a0massive adverse-event\u00a0rate and very scant efficacy\u00a0profile of the\u00a0vaccines\u00a0that were\u00a0created\u00a0by these\u00a0\u201cbrilliant scientists.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n
    2. Vanden Bossche\u00a0also asserts that\u00a0there\u2019s an \u201cever[-]increasing threat from rapidly spreading, highly infectious variants.\u201d\u00a0But as I detailed in my\u00a0February\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>3<\/strong><\/a>article\u00a0and accompanying video\u00a0on the new variants, there is no proof that they are highly infectious or will\u00a0be\u00a0any time soon.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    3. There\u00a0is the possibility\u00a0of viral resistance, as\u00a0for example\u00a0I\u00a0note\u00a0in my\u00a0March 9, 2021<\/a>,\u00a0article\u00a0and accompanying video.\u00a0But\u00a0it\u2019s not\u00a0the\u00a0major threat Vanden Bossche attempts to scare\u00a0us about by\u00a0saying\u00a0the virus\u00a0is likely to\u00a0mutate\u00a0so much and so quickly\u00a0because of the current mass vaccination campaigns\u00a0that\u00a0soon it could\u00a0escape\u00a0all\u00a0current\u00a0attempts\u00a0to stop its\u00a0spread.\u00a0Remember, for example, that\u00a0yearly flu mass vaccination hasn\u2019t\u00a0caused influenza to spiral out of control\u00a0and decimate the global population<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    4. Vanden Bossche\u00a0also writes that\u00a0some\u00a0antibodies are made by the innate immune system, but that\u00a0these\u00a0\u2018natural\u2019 antibodies are non-specific,\u00a0have \u201csuboptimal\u201d \u201cmaturity,\u00a0and are\u00a0\u201crather limited and only short-lived.\u201d\u00a0He claims\u00a0they are a very\u00a0weak link in our immune reactions to pathogens such as the novel coronavirus \u2014\u00a0and that \u201cthe combination of viral infection on a background of suboptimal Ab [antibody] maturity and concentration enables the\u00a0[novel corona]virus to select mutations allowing it to escape the immune pressure.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      However,\u00a0this is on very shaky ground.\u00a0Because,\u00a0among other things:\u00a01)\u00a0Neither in the original\u00a0March 6 piece\u00a0<\/a>nor his March 13<\/a>\u00a0follow-up\u00a0does Vanden Bossche\u00a0back this up with any\u00a0direct,\u00a0non-theoretical\u00a0evidence\u00a0that this\u00a0is happening;\u00a02) The \u2018natural\u2019 antibodies that are produced\u00a0after\u00a0encountering a pathogen\u00a0are\u00a0only a small\u00a0part<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0a quick, effective\u00a0and broad-based\u00a0first-line\u00a0immune-system\u00a0defense \u2013\u00a0known as \u2018innate\u2019\u00a0or \u2018passive\u2019\u00a0immunity \u2013\u00a0which in fact\u00a0largely\u00a0comprises\u00a0other components<\/a>;\u00a0and\u00a03)\u00a0Vanden Bossche\u00a0downplays the effectiveness of\u00a0the\u00a0antibodies\u00a0our bodies naturally\u00a0produce as part of the second-line\u00a0(\u2018adaptive\u2019)\u00a0part of the immune system that\u00a0also\u00a0has\u00a0served us\u00a0extremely\u00a0well for millennia.<\/p>\n

      A\u00a0<\/strong>March\u00a011 commentary<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0by Michael Yeadon and Marc Girardot\u00a0has similar information to my points\u00a03,\u00a04 and 5.\u00a0However the pair present\u00a0it\u00a0in a way\u00a0that\u2019s very pro-mRNA-vaccine\u00a0and\u00a0pro-\u00a0much of the\u00a0official-Covid-narrative \u2014\u00a0neither of which I\u00a0endorse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Vanden Bossche\u00a0also\u00a0has no references in that original document. He\u00a0does\u00a0include\u00a0some\u00a0in his follow-up, March 13, document\u00a0posted on\u00a0his website<\/a>.\u00a0But that March 13 document, like the\u00a0March 6\u00a0one, hasn\u2019t\u00a0been posted on the website of a\u00a0journal, never mind a peer-reviewed one,\u00a0nor reviewed in any more serious manner. And\u00a0in\u00a0an\u00a0unusual approach, he doesn\u2019t attach each reference to a particular statement in his document; rather, he lists the\u00a0references\u00a0at the end of the article\u00a0under categories such as \u2018Natural antibodies.\u2019<\/li>\n
      2. Vanden Bossche\u00a0drives at the need for\u00a0\u201clarge vaccination campaigns.\u201d These, he\u00a0writes,\u00a0should be\u00a0for\u00a0\u201cNK [natural-killer]-cell\u2013based vaccines\u201d that \u201cwill primarily enable our natural immunity to be better prepared \u2026 and to induce herd immunity.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        But it\u2019s not very logical to believe that the only solution\u00a0to the theoretical possibility of immune escape, as espoused by someone who\u2019s got a long and strong focus on vaccination\u00a0as opposed to other ways to improve health,\u00a0is\u00a0yet more\u00a0mass vaccination.<\/p>\n

        Not to mention that the concept of herd immunity is contrived \u2013 after all, if\u00a0your\u00a0immune system is protecting\u00a0you\u00a0against a pathogen it doesn\u2019t matter whether someone else\u2019s is or not.<\/p>\n

        I do\u00a0agree\u00a0we should stop the use of the current vaccines \u2013\u00a0plus we need to stop production and use of\u00a0antivirals and antibodies and other parts of the Covid-industrial complex.<\/p>\n

        But we should\u00a0also not\u00a0add more treatments. Covid has an extremely high survival rate.\u00a0So<\/strong>\u00a0why develop yet another expensive, invasive and experimental solution to a problem that barely exists, if\u00a0it does\u00a0at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        It\u2019s all very curious.<\/p>\n
