Scientific research demands complete reporting, control groups, follow up and further testing within larger control groups to detect a difference, COVID, with its high communicability rate and power over global economies has denied us these opportunities.

I'm sure you are in favor of "following the science" on COVID vaccinations. A basic principle of the scientific method is that you need a control group. To detect a difference, say in adverse reactions, between the treated group and the control, you need a big enough control group.

Beltway Insider: Biden/UN, France, Canada, COVID/Vaccine Totals, Border Agents Fight Insurgency

As this graph shows, you need to have 50% in the control group to be sure that you have at least an 80% chance of detecting a statistically significant difference.

If 70% are vaccinated, only 30% are in the control group, and the statistical power is falling rapidly as more unwilling persons get the jab to keep their job. The Biden Administration is calling for 70% of the world population to be inoculated and pledging to donate 500 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech product to low and lower-middle-income countries and the African Union.

Another absolute requirement for scientific research is complete reporting. Probably, 90% or more of adverse reactions are not reported to the Vaccine Adverse Reactions System (VAERS). As revealed by Project Veritas, reporting may be actively discouraged.

Medical Science: COVID-19 – Is the Anti-Vax Stance Worth the Risk

I have been told of highly trained pilots being grounded post-vaccine because of severe migraine or cognitive problems, of sudden appearance of terminal cancer, of athletes who cannot play because of heart problems, of sudden paralysis or onset of seizures. We can't say it was because of the vaccine. Is it more common after vaccination? Without meticulous follow-up and a control group, we don't know.

The worldwide, coercive mass vaccination campaign is unprecedented, but because it lacks a control group it would be incorrect to call it a scientific experiment. Ethical research would, in addition, require voluntary informed consent, free medical care of subjects who experienced complications, provision to stop the experiment if it is doing harm, and these days an Institutional Review Board.

Jane M. Orient, M.D. obtained her undergraduate degrees in chemistry and mathematics from the University of Arizona in Tucson, and her M.D. from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1974. She completed an internal medicine residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital and University of Arizona Affiliated Hospitals and then became an Instructor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine and a staff physician at the Tucson Veterans Administration Hospital. She has been in solo private practice since 1981 and has served as Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) since 1989.

She is currently president of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness. She is the author of YOUR Doctor Is Not In: Healthy Skepticism about National Healthcare, and the second through fifth editions of Sapira's Art and Science of Bedside Diagnosis published by Wolters Kluwer. She authored books for school children, Professor Klugimkopf's Old-Fashioned English Grammar and Professor Klugimkopf's Spelling Method, published by Robinson Books, and coauthored two novels published as Kindle books, Neomorts and Moonshine. 

Medical Science: There’s More to Death Than Covid-19

More than 100 of her papers have been published in the scientific and popular literature on a variety of subjects including risk assessment, natural and technological hazards and non-hazards, and medical economics and ethics. She is the editor of AAPS News, the Doctors for Disaster Preparedness Newsletter, and Civil Defense Perspectives, and is the managing editor of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.
