Did vaccine inventor admit mRNA would depopulate world?!

Did COVID-19 vaccine inventor Professor John Bell admit that the mRNA vaccines were designed to depopulate the world?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : Vaccine inventor admits mRNA would depopulate world!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that COVID-19 vaccine inventor Professor John Bell just admitted that the mRNA vaccines were designed to depopulate the world

Here is an excerpt of the (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Covid Vaccine Inventor Blows Whistle: ‘mRNA Was Designed To Depopulate the World’

The Covid vaccine was designed to sterilize the masses and depopulate the world, according to the inventor of the ill-fated Oxford Covid vaccine who has blown the whistle on the elite’s real agenda behind the shots.

Truth : Vaccine inventor did not admit mRNA would depopulate world!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Professor Bell did not admit mRNA would depopulate the world

Professor Sir John Irving Bell did not admit or claim that the mRNA vaccines were designed to sterilise the masses and depopulate the world.

For one thing – if he said that, it would have triggered an uproar, and there would have been investigations all over the world. The truth is – his words were taken out of context, and (intentionally?) misrepresented.

During a Channel 4 interview, presenter Jon Snow asked Professor Bell when would people be able to get the COVID-19 vaccine, to which the professor responded:

A lot of this depends on the intensity of infection. So, in order to get a readout, you have to have a certain number of incident cases in the control vaccine population. And that then tells you that you can look at the real vaccinated population and see whether they’ve been protected. So, I’m hoping that’s going to happen pretty smartly this autumn.

But then, don’t forget – these vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilise the population. They’re very likely to have an effect which works in a percentage, say 60 or 70 percent. We will have to look quite carefully, and the regulators will have to look quite carefully that it’s done, what we needed to do, before it gets approved.

So there will be a delay between the outcome of the [clinical] trial, and the decision on whether it can approved as a vaccine. Anything that happens to undermine the legitimacy of regulators to make independent decisions is, in my view, profoundly unhelpful.

As you can see, Professor Bell was speaking strictly about whether the COVID-19 vaccines being tested would be good enough to protect people against infections. He never once mention any potential impact on reproduction or fertility.

While Professor Bell did mention “sterilise the population“, he was referring to the ability of the vaccines to medical term – “sterilising immunity“, which refers to the ability of a vaccine to eliminate the pathogen before it replicates in the host.

Fact #2 : The interview was posted on 24 August 2020

I should point out that this claim is based on a very old Channel 4 interview from 24 August 2020, which has been debunked numerous times since then.

Why The People’s Voice would repeat this long-debunked claim in August 2024 – almost 4 years later???

Fact #3 : COVID-19 vaccines do not cause infertility

When Channel 4 conducted its interview with Professor Bell, the mRNA vaccines were still undergoing clinical trials, so it was impossible for anyone to know (at that time) whether they cause infertility issues in vaccinated people.

Several months later, the clinical trial results show that the COVID-19 vaccines were safe and effective, and they were approved for mass vaccination. Since then, additional research have shown that COVID-19 vaccines do not affect fertility.

As the US CDC explains, recent studies have found “no differences” in fertility between vaccinated women, or women who survived COVID-19, and women who were not infected by COVID-19. It also pointed out that a study of more than 2,000 females aged 21-45 years and their partners, showed that COVID-19 vaccination did not affect their fertility.

In addition, the world population continues to increase in 2024 – at 0.91% per year, up from 0.88% in 2023. That would not be possible if COVID-19 vaccines cause infertility.

Fact #4 : Professor Bell refuted those claims in 2021

Professor John Bell refuted those claims in April 2021, when he told AAP Factcheck that he was referring to how vaccines can “sterilise” a community from COVID-19 by preventing the virus from spreading.

I was referring to the ability of the vaccines to completely eliminate viral replication (ie sterilise) and (it) had no relevance to fertility.

Why would The People’s Voice revive this false claim in August 2024???

Fact #5 : Professor Bell never mentioned mRNA vaccines

I should also point out that Professor John Bell never even mentioned the mRNA vaccines. He was speaking about COVID-19 vaccines in general, and the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine that he was helping to develop.

Professor Bell was not part of the teams developing the mRNA vaccines, and he would not know anything about their efficacy and side effects. More so since the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were still undergoing clinical trials at that time!

Fact #6 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice.  Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did AstraZeneca withdraw COVID-19 vaccine over side effects?!

Did AstraZeneca just withdraw its Vaxzevria vaccine for COVID-19 over side effects?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : AstraZeneca Withdraws COVID-19 Vaccine Over Side Effects!

People are sharing articles with titles that appear to suggest that AstraZeneca just withdrew its COVID-19 vaccine over side effects!

7NEWS Australia : AstraZeneca withdrawn worldwide over side effects

News.com.au : AstraZeneca vaccine withdrawn after fatal blood clot revelation

Some of the news articles have since been withdrawn, or had their titles amended, although screenshots exist of their original posts:

WION : AstraZeneca #Covidshield vaccine withdrawn globally after admitting rare side effects

Sky News : AstraZeneca withdrawn worldwide over side effects

In addition, people are claiming or suggesting on social media that the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine was withdrawn because it has dangerous side effects!

Avi Yemini : 🚨🚨 AstraZeneca finally WITHDRAW Covid vaccine worldwide, months after the pharmaceutical giant admitted for the first time in court documents that it can cause “a rare and dangerous” side effect.

Never forget how they cancelled anyone who questioned its safety.

Truth : AstraZeneca Did Not Withdraw COVID-19 Vaccine Over Side Effects!

This is yet another example of misinformation created or promoted by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : AstraZeneca Withdrew COVID-19 Vaccine For Commercial Reasons

Let me start by pointing out that the AstraZeneca Vaxzevria vaccine for COVID-19 is now old and outdated.

It was developed by Oxford University in early 2020, and first approved in December 2020. Since then, billions of doses have been administered worldwide, saving millions of lives.

Unlike the mRNA vaccines, the Vaxzevria vaccine has not been updated to better deal with the newer Delta and Omicron variants. In fact, AstraZeneca stopped producing the vaccine as the COVID-19 pandemic subsided, and updated vaccines became available.

Hence, AstraZeneca withdrew its marketing authorisations for the Vaxzevria vaccine from the European market on 27 March 2024, and worldwide by 7 May 2024. As an AstraZeneca spokesperson said in a statement, it was a commercial decision:

As multiple, variant Covid-19 vaccines have since been developed there is a surplus of available updated vaccines. This has led to a decline in demand for Vaxzevria, which is no longer being manufactured or supplied.

AstraZeneca has therefore taken the decision to initiate withdrawal of the marketing authorisations for Vaxzevria within Europe.

AstraZeneca also said that its withdrawal of marketing authorisations was not linked to its recent February 2024 legal submission acknowledging that its COVID-19 vaccine “can, in very rare cases, cause TTS“.

Fact #2 : AstraZeneca Had Earlier Ceased Producing Vaxzevria

As newer vaccines that target the newer COVID-19 variants became available, there was no longer a need for first-generation COVID-19 vaccines like the Oxford-AstraZeneca Vaxzevria. Hence, AstraZeneca ceased producing and supplying Vaxzevria.

For example, AstraZeneca stopped importing the Vaxzevria vaccine into Australia almost two years ago, with the last two batches (346753P1 and 347442P) being approved on 28 July 2022!

Obviously, that decision almost two years ago had nothing to do with the recent February 2024 legal submission acknowledging that the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine “can, in very rare cases, cause TTS“.

Fact #3 : AstraZeneca Vaccine TTS Risk Was Known Since 2021

Regardless of the AstraZeneca legal submission may imply, it has been acknowledged since April 2021 – 3 years ago, that the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine can potentially cause TTS in a very small number of people.

On top of that, it was not keyboard warriors or anti-vaccine activists who started warning people about TTS. It was health officials who first identified cases of TTS / VITT as early as March 2021 – just two months after the AstraZeneca vaccine was first deployed.

By April, the evidence was clear enough that health officials started warning people about the risk of TTS / VITT, and restricting the AstraZeneca vaccine to people over 30. They only offered the vaccine to people over 40 in May 2021.

Fact #4 : AstraZeneca Vaccine TTS Risk Was Very Low

Even though health officials were aware of the TTS risk by April-May 2021, they continued to offer the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine because the risk was judged to be extremely low – about one in 30 million.

Far fewer people – maybe one in 600,000, would die from TTS. In the United Kingdom, about 81 people died from blood clot complications linked to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, after about 50 million doses were administered.

In August 2021, the Australian Academy of Sciences issued this infographic, in which it compared the risk of dying from TTS to other common risks.

Fact #5 : COVID-19 Blood Clot Risk Was Much Higher

What you may not know is that COVID-19 infections greatly increases the risk of developing blood clots – up to 41% in positive patients, and up to 95% in severe COVID-19 cases.

Blood clots can also develop (through different mechanisms) with smoking and the use of oral contraceptive pills (OCP). Back in May 2021, we created this table to better demonstrate the risk:
