Why MAECC Is Wrong About Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Study!

The MAECC is at it again, calling for a pause on the COVID-19 vaccine mandate because of a recent Swedish study on the Pfizer mRNA vaccine!

Let’s take a look at their claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

MAECC : Pause Vaccine Mandate Over Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Study!

The MAECC (Malaysian Alliance for Effective Covid Control) has issued yet another call for the Malaysia Health Ministry to pause the “vaccine mandate”.

This time, they are using the recently-released Swedish study that allegedly shows the Pfizer mRNA vaccine being converted into DNA.

Their press release is very long, so feel free to skip it and head over to the next section for the facts.

PAUSE ON VACCINE MANDATE IS NECESSARY ON LATEST SCIENTIFIC FINDING

Malaysian Alliance for Effective Covid Control (MAECC) would like to highlight a recently published study that has confirmed the messenger RNA (mRNA) from the Pfizer Covid vaccine is able to enter human liver cells and convert into DNA. From the outset MAECC has been very concerned for the potential long-term adverse effect of the mRNA Covid vaccine, and this includes DNA change. Our fear is now confirmed.

 

Here’s Why MAECC Is Wrong About Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Study!

The MAECC has stridently promoted ivermectin, despite the lack of evidence, and came out strongly against vaccination even though COVID-19 vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective.

Here are the reasons why they are, yet again, wrong about the Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #1 : There Is No Vaccine Mandate In Malaysia

First, let me address their title – there is no COVID-19 vaccine mandate in Malaysia.

No one is forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine in Malaysia. Any claim that there is a COVID-19 vaccine mandate is undeniably false.

Heck, Malaysia has no vaccine mandate, period. That’s why children of antivax parents remain unvaccinated, despite the risks to their health.

If they start off with a factually false title, what hope is there that their press release is actually based on facts?

Fact #2 : Swedish Study Did Not Show Pfizer Vaccine Changed DNA

The crux of their new press release is the recently-released Pfizer mRNA vaccine study by the Lund University of Sweden.

The MAECC claimed that their fear that the mRNA vaccine can change our DNA “is now confirmed“. That’s nonsense.

The Swedish researchers themselves pointed out in their study, that :

At this stage, we do not know if DNA reverse transcribed from BNT162b2 is integrated into the cell genome.

To be clear, the study does not show that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine altered our DNA in any way or form.

The study does not even show that the transcribed DNA entered the cell nucleus!

Fact #3 : Study Findings Did Not Shock Scientists / Physicians

The MAECC claims that the Swedish study findings has “shocked scientists and physicians throughout the world“. That is utter nonsense, unless they mean the few who did not read the study, or actually understand what it stated.

You don’t see health authorities ordering the immediate cessation or pause of mRNA vaccination, as some have done when some real adverse effect was discovered, like the risk of pericarditis / myocarditis.

Instead, the only people calling for mRNA vaccines to be stopped based on this laboratory study are fringe groups like the MAECC.

That’s because everyone else spent their time reading and understanding what the study meant, instead of “accidentally” or intentionally misinterpreting its results to push their own agenda.

If you are interested to know more about what the results of this Swedish study actually mean, please read my article – Did Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Combine With DNA In Liver Cells?!

Fact #4 : Waning Immunity Is Indirect Evidence Of No DNA Change

The waning immunity of COVID-19 vaccines is actually indirect evidence that mRNA vaccines do NOT change our DNA. Here’s why…

mRNA vaccines work by instructing some of our cells to manufacture the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike proteins, and put them on the cell surface to trigger the immune system into action.

If the mRNA vaccine actually integrates into our human DNA, all of our cells would display those spikes and continuously trigger the immune system for lifetime protection. That is not simply not the case.

In fact, it is now known that our COVID-19 antibody levels gradually drop after we are fully-vaccinated, which is why a booster dose is required to boost antibody levels after a few months.

Booster doses would not be necessary if the mRNA vaccine actually integrates with our DNA, making all our cells produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein forever.

Fact #5 : mRNA Vaccine Proven Safe + Effective

MAECC claims that bad science is “behind the promotion and coercion of the masses to get the injections“. That’s utter nonsense. They are the ones propagating bad science.

COVID-19 vaccines have undergone the world’s largest clinical trials, collectively involving over hundreds of thousands of volunteers – far more than clinical trials of vaccines and drugs in the past!

All those clinical trials have shown that the approved COVID-19 vaccines are all safe and effective. Even then, these vaccines continue to be monitored for safety issues.

Over 10 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered worldwide, and we are already able to confirm rare adverse effects like anaphylaxis and myocarditis with mRNA vaccines.

If it’s true that mRNA vaccines are able to modify our DNA, we would have seen those effects in the real world, not only in a small laboratory study of liver cancer cells.

Don’t risk your life or your family’s lives on the bad science and misinformation promoted by fringe groups like the MAECC.

Is COVID-19 Vaccine Useless Against Delta Variant?

Is the COVID-19 vaccine really useless against the Delta variant of COVID-19?

Let’s take a look at this new claim, and find out what the FACTS really are!

 

Claim : COVID-19 Vaccine Is Useless Against Delta Variant!

Captain Wong Ang Peng from the MAECC is at it again, crying wolf about the COVID-19 vaccines to promote ivermectin.

He managed to get The Malaysian Insight to post his letter, which has gone viral on WhatsApp after it was actively shared by ivermectin proponents and antivaxxers.

It is a very long letter, so just SKIP to the next section for the facts…

Delta variant demolishes vaccine claim of less severe Covid for inoculated

Wong Ang Peng

A flurry of new scientific information challenges the presumption of efficacy and demolishes the Covid-19 vaccines’ claims that they are a guard against severe infection.

THE Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 is now a serious global concern. The spate of scientific reports on Delta variant surfacing over the last few weeks showing those fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are no better off, or even disadvantaged, is cause for policymakers to rethink.

This flurry of new scientific information challenges the presumption of efficacy and demolishes the vaccines’ claims that they are a guard against severe infection.

 

Truth : COVID-19 Vaccine Protects Against Delta Variant!

Captain Wong Ang Peng is part of MAECC – a pseudoscientific group that is actively promoting ivermectin as an alternative to COVID-19 vaccines.

Let’s go through his claims, and find out what the FACTS really are…

Fact #1 : KKM Did Not Randomly Sequence COVID-19 Samples

Captain Wong Ang Peng claimed that the Malaysia Health Ministry (KKM) randomly sequenced 265 COVID-19 samples – all of which turned out to be of the Delta variant.

That’s not true.

First of all, the samples were not randomly selected, they were selected as suspected variants to be confirmed through genome sequencing.

Secondly, the research was not conducted by KKM itself but the Institute of Medical Research (IMR), the UITM Integrative Pharmacogenomimcs Institute (iPROMISE), and the UNIMAS Institute of Health and Community Medicine.

Read more : Delta variant of COVID-19 can infect in seconds!

Fact #2 : New COVID-19 Cases Are NOT Necessarily Of Delta Variant

It is very misleading and wrong for him to claim that the 265 samples were randomly selected, because it suggests that all new COVID-19 cases are of the Delta variant.

That is simply NOT true.

Very little genomic testing is being conducted in Malaysia – just over 1,200 cases, which is less than 0.065% of all detected cases.

There is simply not enough data to draw any strong conclusion, much less suggest that all new COVID-19 cases are of the Delta variant.

Fact #3 : Percentage Of Breakthrough Infections Is Misleading

The use of percentage to judge the effectiveness of a vaccine is misleading, because :

  • in a population with 0% vaccination, there will be ZERO breakthrough infections – does that mean that the vaccine is 100% efficacious?
  • in a population with 100% vaccination, there can only be breakthrough infections – does that mean that the vaccine is 100% useless?

As the vaccination rate increases, the percentage of breakthrough cases versus infections of the unvaccinated will undoubtedly increase.

However, the number of hospitalisations and deaths will drop, and over time, so will the number of new cases.

Fact #4 : Vaccines Protect Against Hospitalisation + Death

COVID-19 vaccines vary in efficacy from just 50% to 95%, which means there will ALWAYS be some breakthrough infections.

There will be more breakthrough case with less efficacious vaccines, and fewer breakthrough cases with more efficacious vaccines, but they ALL offer excellent protection against severe COVID-19 and death!

People who are fully-vaccinated can get infected, but will either be asymptomatic or suffer only a mild disease.

Even so, you are strongly advised to maintain COVID-19 precautions, at least until herd immunity is achieved.

COVID-19 Vaccine Protection Against
Symptomatic
Infection
Severe
Disease
Death
Pfizer Comirnaty 95.0% 100% 100%
Gamaleya Sputnik V 91.6% 100% 100%
Moderna mRNA-1273 94.1% 100% 100%
AstraZeneca AZD1222 62% ~ 90% 100% 100%
Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV 79% ~ 86% 90% 100%
Sinovac Biotech 50.65% 83.7% 100%
J&J Janssen COVID-19 66.0% 85% 100%
CanSino Biologics 65.7% 90.98% 100%

Fact #5 : Vaccines Still Protect Against Delta Variant

It has been known since June 2021 that the Delta variant causes more breakthrough infections.

However, it is false and misleading to claim that the breakthrough infection rates are rising because the COVID-19 vaccine does not work against the Delta variant.

Take a look at the table below, which I compiled of the latest 7 days with full data from KKM. It shows that even with just under 50% of the adult population in Malaysia fully-vaccinated :

  • less than 28% of all new cases were fully vaccinated.
  • less than 25% of new cases requiring hospitalisation were fully vaccinated
  • just over 20% of new cases had severe COVID-19 requiring an ICU bed were fully vaccinated

What this means is unvaccinated people are 3X more likely to require hospitalisation, and 4X more likely to develop severe COVID-19.

This shows that the COVID-19 vaccine you received still offers great protection against moderate and severe disease, even with the Delta variant.

29/8 44.5% 23.9% 23.4% 14.6%
30/8 45.9% 23.9% 21.5% 18.9%
31/8 47.2% 26.4% 21.4% 32.8%
1/9 48.7% 28.9% 19.4% 18.8%
2/9 50.2% 29.2% 30.4% 13.5%
3/9 51.6% 30.4% 26.8% 25.1%
4/9 53.0% 32.1% 29.9% 18.3%
Average 48.7% 27.8% 24.7% 20.3%

* Data taken from 15 days prior : 14 days for full efficacy + 1 day to account for discrepancy in reporting time

Fact #6 : Delta Variant Not Caused By “Vaccine Escape”

Captain Ang falsely claimed that the Delta variant was caused by “vaccine escape” – the virus mutated to evade the vaccine, like antibiotic resistance – an idea propagated by Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche.

When it comes to the Delta variant, that would be IMPOSSIBLE because it was detected in India in October 2020 –  months before the first COVID-19 vaccinations started!

Fact #7 : Natural Immunity Is Risky

It is true that getting infected by COVID-19 imparts strong natural immunity for at least 6-8 months. However, there are a few caveats :

  • not everyone develops natural immunity – 1% to 10% will not develop neutralising antibodies.
  • its protection is not guaranteed – 10% to 20% can get reinfected within 7 months
  • immunity is greatly reduced in the elderly – up to 50% of people over 65 years in age can be reinfected.

There is also that pesky problem with natural immunity – you have to get infected with COVID-19, which has an average mortality risk of 2.2% – 22 people out of every thousand infected people will die.

Recommending that people develop natural immunity is as asinine as asking people NOT to wear seatbelts so that they will develop stronger bones after fracturing them in car accidents… if they survive them!

Fact #8 : Attenuated Virus Protein Vaccine Does Not Exist

In order not to appear as an antivaxxer, Captain Ang proffered a red herring – he’s in favour of the attenuated virus protein vaccine.

Only trouble is – there is NO SUCH THING as an attenuated virus protein vaccine!

He probably mixed it up with the live attenuated virus vaccine, which is a vaccine that uses a weakened virus (not a protein) to trigger immunity.

While such a live attenuated virus vaccine can elicit a strong immune response, it cannot be used in people with compromised immune system because it can trigger the very disease it seeks to protect you from

In any case, there is no approved live attenuated virus vaccine for COVID-19, so he was basically suggesting that none of the current COVID-19 vaccines are good, and that is simply FALSE.

All approved COVID-19 vaccines have been proven through clinical trials to be safe and effective.

 

Fact #9 : Ivermectin Has Not Been Proven To Work Against COVID-19

Ivermectin has been shown to work against COVID-19 in vitro studies (labs studies), but does NOT improve clinical outcomes or prevent transmission.

That is why the WHO and practically the vast majority of health authorities around the world do NOT advocate using ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19.

In fact, the FLCCC cheerleader himself – Dr. Pierre Kory – was INFECTED WITH COVID-19 despite taking ivermectin as prophylaxis!

Dr. Kory also admitted that ivermectin is failing to prevent infections from “new variants”, and that the FLCCC Alliance members are “demoralized and frightened“.

Fact Check : Dr. Kenny Yong On How To Survive COVID-19

Dr. Kenny Yong is a COVID-19 survivor who is preaching fake and unproven cures.

Find out why he’s putting people’s lives at risk, and WARN your friends!

 

Dr. Kenny Yong : Rise Of An Antivax Doctor

Dr. Kenny Yong rose from obscurity to a social media celebrity of sorts, after releasing an audio message claiming to be a COVID-19 survivor who was chosen by God to teach us how to survive it too.

He now runs both a Telegram group, as well as a WhatsApp group, where he promotes fake or unproven treatments like ivermectin, as well as vaccine antibody tests, while sharing anti-vaccination videos and opinions – the irony of which is lost on his followers.

In this voice message, he explained how his mother was vaccinated with the Sinovac vaccine that resurrected like a zombie, and infected him and his whole family.

That is an outright lie because the viruses in the Sinovac vaccine are completely dead, but people still believe his lies. Even today, he continues to peddle that lie.

Ironically, he self-medicated himself and his mother with ivermectin and other alternative treatments like high-dose vitamins, ultraviolet blood irradiation, stem cells and even ozone therapy… and FAILED!

Instead of seeking medical help as soon as things got worse, they only sought help more than a week later when they were both breathless.

Even though they both managed to get beds in hospitals that were filled to the brim, Dr. Kenny Yong berated the doctors arrogant for not giving them both his preferred “alternative treatments for COVID-19”.

In the end, his mother died of COVID-19, and Dr. Kenny Yong himself only survived after being resuscitated on four different occasions.

 

Dr. Kenny Yong : COVID-19 Survivor Peddling Falsehoods

Despite failing to treat himself or his mother with his alternative treatments, Dr. Kenny Yong believes that he is a Messiah chosen by God to teach us how to defeat COVID-19 like he did.

He is no Messiah. In fact, he is an object lesson on how NOT to treat or prevent COVID-19.

He refused to get vaccinated, and falsely blamed his own mother for infecting him and his family with COVID-19 from the Sinovac vaccine, which is impossible.

And when they both got infected, he put both their lives at risk by self-medicating with ivermectin and other alternative treatments.

They were only admitted to the hospitals when they “crashed” on Day 8, after a week of alternative treatments. This clearly shows that ivermectin and all those alternative treatments they took were USELESS!

Yet, he continues to promote ivermectin, even though it FAILED to prevent his entire family from getting COVID-19, and when they all got infected, FAILED to prevent both him and his mother from getting severe COVID-19.

And he calls the doctors who treated them “stupid”, “assholes” and “royal circus clowns” – the same doctors who saved him from dying FOUR TIMES.

Dr. Kenny Yong and Dr. Vijaendreh Subramaniam of MAECC

Let me be VERY CLEAR about why Dr. Kenny Yong is not being honest with us, and why he’s peddling dangerous falsehoods :

  1. Inactivated virus vaccines cannot be resurrected. The Sinovac vaccine, for example, is made by using a chemical to scramble the virus’ genetic code, leaving its carcass to serve as the vaccine.
  2. It is impossible for his mother to get COVID-19 from her Sinovac vaccine. It is also wrong for him to blame her for infecting him and his family.
  3. He falsely claims that natural immunity works better than vaccines – 50% of survivors 65 years or older can get reinfected, for example.
  4. He almost died 4 times getting that natural immunity, and his mother died.
  5. Ivermectin has not been shown to work against COVID-19 outside of a lab. In fact, the latest clinical studies show that it offers no clinical benefit against COVID-19, and it doesn’t stop transmission either.
  6. He also falsely claimed that it’s wonderful to take 15 ivermectin tablets – a senior citizen overdosed and fell unconscious!
  7. The other alternative treatments he tried has not been tested or found to work against COVID-19 – stem cells, high-dose vitamins, ultraviolet blood irradiation, ozone therapy.
  8. The FLCCC is a fringe group of doctors that promotes alternative treatments for COVID-19, that they themselves did not even test in any trial to prove that they work!

Dr. Kenny Yong : Voice Recording + Summary

Here is Dr. Kenny Yong’s viral voice message, followed by my brief summary :

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Kenny-Yong-testimonial-WhatsApp-Audio-2021-08-09-at-23.56.40.mp3?_=1
  • He claimed that his mother was infected by COVID-19 from the Sinovac vaccine, and she in turn infected him and his family.
  • He started feeling “not good” from 1 – 3 July 2021
  • His PCR test came back positive for COVID-19 on 3 July 2021
  • Day 1 to 6 : He was “doing ozone [therapy], high-dose vitamins (including Vitamin C), ivermectin, ultraviolet blood irradiation and ozone step 1 and step 2 major autoimmune therapy
  • He and his mother (who also tested positive) were doing well from 3 – 7 July 2021, and they implanted 100 million units of stem cells
  • Nevertheless, both of them took an acute turn for the worst on Day 7, and “crashed” on Day 8.
  • He claimed that they both belong to a special “Day 8 deterioration” group that requires steroid treatment at the hospital.
  • His mother was admitted to the Sungai Buloh Hospital on 9 July, and was doing okay until 11 July.
  • But he claimed the hospital gave his mother the “wrong steroid”, claiming that she should have been given methylprednisolone from Day 1, as recommended by FLCCC.
  • He claimed that in her last 5 days at the Sungai Buloh Hospital, his mother had “Happy Hypoxia” with SpO2 of 52%, but they deprived her of a ventilator.
  • He also claimed that his mother was yelling for a ventilator for those 5 days but passed away on the morning of 16 July 2021.
  • He also complained that his family was not allowed to visit his mother while she was in the hospital.
  • Dr. Kenny Yong himself was admitted to the Sungai Long Hospital where he was given Clexane, a low-molecular weight heparin, for 15 days to treat COVID-19 hypercoagulability.
  • He claimed he was doing well but then “crashed” because they were giving him the “wrong steroid” – 80 mg of dexamethasone for the first four days, instead of methylprednisolone as recommended by FLCCC.
  • He claimed he stopped breathing for 4 times during his hospitalisation on 15 July, after which they switched him to 180 mg of methylprednisolone for the next 4 days, which he said turned things around.
  • Even though he was in the ICU, he claimed he was able to smuggle vitamin C, zinc, sodium bicarbonate, all of which he put into his own drip.
  • So he claimed that he was not saved by the hospital’s intervention, but his own treatments.
  • He also claimed that he was chosen by God to explain everything to other doctors and people how to treat COVID-19.
  • He called the DG Health of Malaysia and his doctors and specialists “stupid”, “assholes” and “royal circus clowns”.
  • He finally recovered and tested negative for COVID-19 on 21 July 2021.
