Did Pfizer docs reveal mRNA vaccines as US weapon system?!

Did Pfizer documents just reveal that mRNA vaccines are actually a US weapon system?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Pfizer docs reveal mRNA vaccines as US weapon system!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that Pfizer documents just revealed that mRNA vaccines are actually a US weapon system!

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

Confidential Pfizer FOIA Documents Reveal mRNA Vaccines Are ‘US Weapons System’

Bombshell Pfizer documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests have revealed the Big Pharma giant sought to suppress the release of damaging information about vaccine side-effects for 75 years because the releasing the information would “impair the application of state-of-the-art technology within a US weapons system.”

Due to FOIA requests, Pfizer was forced to release a “Confidential Report” titled “5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021.”

Pfizer knew their vaccine were killing unprecedented numbers of recipients, but they refused to stop distribution or application.

Even worse, Pfizer wanted these reports blocked from release for 75 years. This constitutes willful mass murder and crimes against humanity.

However, there is new information in the FOIA-released document that is raising eyebrows among researchers.

What is of particular concern is the government redaction coding applied to the documents by the National Archives.

As the National Archives explain, “The declassified documents will usually contain redactions, which indicate portions that contain information not releasable to the public. Each redaction will be associated with a redaction code, which gives the reason for why the information cannot be released.”

Throughout the Pfizer document we find redactions coded “(B) (4)”. The National Archives redaction coding page defines redaction code (B) (4) as: 3.3 (b) (4) Reveal information that would impair the application of state-of-the-art technology within a U.S. weapon system.

The revelation that the government consider mRNA vaccines to be part of a “weapons system” adds further weight to evidence present by Big Pharma whistleblowers who allege the mRNA vaccines is a “bioweapon” designed to depopulate humanity.

Truth : Pfizer docs do not reveal mRNA vaccines as US weapon system!

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

Fact #1 : mRNA vaccines are not a US weapon system

Let me start by simply pointing out that mRNA vaccines are not a US weapon system.

In fact, the Pfizer document in question do not show that the Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was defined as a US weapon system.

Fact #2 : Pfizer document was not released by National Archives

The People’s Voice article claims that the (b)(4) redaction code refers to “state-of-the-art technology within a U.S. weapon system”, using the National Archives redaction codes as reference.

However, that’s utter nonsense, because the Pfizer document was not redacted and released by the National Archives. It was redacted and released by the US FDA under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

In addition, the National Archives clearly states that its redaction code (b)(4) only applies to “records over 25 years old“. Documents related to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine would definitely be less than 25 years old, and would never have a (b)(4) redaction code applied by the National Archives.

Fact #3 : FOIA (b)(4) redaction code refers to trade secrets

Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the (b)(4) redaction code refers to “trade secrets“:

Exemption 4 of the FOIA protects “trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person [that is] privileged or confidential.”

In short, when the US FDA redacted the Pfizer 5.3.6 document, it did so using the FOIA redaction code for Exemption 4. It obviously would not use the National Archives redaction code for documents over 25 years old!

Fact #4 : Pfizer 5.3.6 document is no longer redacted!

More importantly – the Pfizer 5.3.6 document is no longer redacted! If you compare the redacted (PDF) and uncensored (PDF) documents, you will see that only 3 small pieces of information (which I highlighted in bold) were originally redacted:

To date, Pfizer has onboarded approximately 600 additional full time employees (FTEs).
More are joining each month with an expected total of more than 1,800 additional resources by the end of June 2021.
It is estimated that approximately 126,212,580 doses of BNT162b2 were shipped worldwide from the receipt of the first temporary authorisation for emergency supply on 01 December 2020 through 28 February 2021.

As you can tell, the (b)(4) redactions (which I highlighted in bold) had nothing to do with US weapon systems!

Fact #5 : Pfizer 5.3.6 document was released long ago!

On top of that, the Pfizer 5.3.6 document wasn’t released recently. It is actually very old news.

The Pfizer 5.3.6 document was first released by the FDA to the PHMPT (Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency) group, with three small pieces of information redacted on 17 November 2021 – almost 3 years ago!

The FDA later decided that the redacted information were not confidential after all, and reissued the same document in full on 1 April 2022 – almost 2.5 years ago! You can read more about that here.

In other words – this is old news that has been regurgitated as something new, but is really stale and unpalatable like old vomit.

Fact #6 : Pfizer was not forced to release its documents

Finally, I should point out that Pfizer was not forced to release its documents.

Pfizer actually submitted those documents to health authorities in various countries way back in December 2020 or early 2021, when Pfizer applied for its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine to be approved.

It was really the US FDA (not Pfizer) that released those documents under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Fact #7 : 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 think twice about sharing anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Are the Mongols riding to Colorado to battle Venezuelan gangs?!

Are Mongols MC bikers riding to Aurora, Colorado, to fight against Venezuelan gangs?! Take a look at the viral claims and videos, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : The Mongols are riding to Colorado to battle Venezuelan gangs!

Some people are sharing videos which apparently shows Mongols MC bikers heading to Aurora, Colorado, to fight against Venezuelan gangs, with the Hells Angels!

Matt Wallace : Rumors are circulating that the Hells Angels & Mongols are heading to Colorado TO DEAL WITH THE ILLEGAL VENEZUELAN GANGS ⚠️

THEY ARE F*CKED 😳

RyGuy : Reportedly this is a convoy of the Hells Angels, the Mongols and other biker bands, banded together to take on the Venezuelan gangs in Aurora Co 🍿🍿🍿

IcedOutlan : JUST IN 🚨: Reports showing Hells Angels & Mongols driving to Colorado to fuck up illegal Venezuelan gangs! #HellsAngels

Show less

Truth : The Mongols are not riding to Colorado to battle Venezuelan gangs!

This appears to be an example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : This video shows the Mongols Victory Ride in 2010

This video clip does not show the Mongols MC bikers heading to Aurora, Colorado to fight against the Venezuelan gangs.

It actually shows the Mongols Victory Ride in 2010 (over 13 years ago!), after the Mongols Motorcycle Club won its legal case against the Department of Justice and the ATF.

The Mongols Victory Ride took place over 10 days – from 30 July until 8 August 2010, and covered four states:

July 30 : Mongols Victory Ride began in Los Angeles, California
August 1 : The Mongols stopped at Las Vegas, Nevada
August 3 : The Mongols continued to Denver, Colorado
August 8 : The Victory Ride concluded at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota

The viral video clip circulating on TikTok appears to be edited from the original video that was posted by the Mongols MC on its official YouTube channel on 3 October 2010.

Bizarrely, the first part of the video was flipped horizontally from the original video, so the bikers appear to be riding on the left side of the road. This may have been done to make it more difficult for fact checkers to identify the original video.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Mongols-heading-to-Aurora-Colorado-to-fight-Venezuelan-gangs-fake-video-01.mp4?_=1

Fact #2 : This video was posted in 2022

This video most definitely does not show Mongols MC bikers on their way to Aurora, Colorado, to “help clean up the Apartments”.

It appears to have been digitally altered from an earlier video, which was posted by @pysssh on TikTok, on 6 November 2022 (archive), with the caption – Republicans ROARING to go vite [sic] Nov 8th!!!

It is unknown when that video was taken, and it does not appear to be related to the 2022 US midterm elections. But it is most certainly not a Mongols MC event, based on the casual clothes of some of the bikers, and the lack of Mongols MC patches.

A man can also be seen wearing a Susquehanna Valley Harley-Davidson t-shirt, while another is seen wearing a Harley-Davidson vest.

A Sidecarddog Riley booth can be seen at the back of this bike rally. The first available videos of Sidecarddog Riley show him at the Ocean City Bike Fest in Maryland, but the video does not seem to be taken in Ocean City. In fact, three bikes with readily visible number plates appear to be registered in Pennsylvania.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Hells-Angels-heading-to-Aurora-Colorado-to-fight-Venezuelan-gangs-fake-video-03.mp4?_=2

Fact #3 : This video was recorded in Brazil

This video does not show Mongols MC bikers heading to Aurora, Colorado, to fight against Venezuelan gang members either.

This video appears to be originally posted by @robertoguedesjr on TikTok on 7 July 2024 – over a month before the Aurora gang takeover video went viral.

While I cannot yet determine where it was actually recorded, you can see three police vehicles escorting the bikers, and they all have the words Policia printed on them. They appear to be São Paulo State Highway Police vehicles escorting Brazilian bikers.

In short, this video was recorded several weeks earlier in Brazil, not the United States.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Hells-Angels-heading-to-Aurora-Colorado-to-fight-Venezuelan-gangs-fake-video-05.mp4?_=3

Fact #4 : Aurora PD established a special task force to tackle the gangs

For those who are not sure what the fuss is about, here’s a quick summary of what’s going on in Aurora, Colorado.

On August 28, 2024, surveillance footage of a shooting incident that happened 10 days earlier at The Edge – an apartment building in Aurora, Colorado, went viral. It showed young men with handguns and at least one automatic rifle breaking doors in, and barging their way into the apartment units. In another video, gunshots rang out as people called to their loved ones.

The Edge was one of three apartment buildings that are allegedly being terrorised by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). However, Interim Aurora Police Chief Heather Morris said in an interview that officers found no evidence of a gang takeover:

We’ve been talking to the residents here and learning from them to find out what exactly is going on. And there’s definitely a different picture. I’m not saying that there’s not gang members that don’t live in this community, but what we’re learning out here is that gang members have not taken over this complex.

In any case, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman said that the city is seeking an emergency court order to shut down those apartment buildings, and the Aurora Police Department has established a “special task force” in collaboration with local, state, and federal partners to handle the situation.

Truth : Hells Angels are not heading to Aurora to fight Venezuelan gangs!

Fact #1 : This video shows the Rolling Thunder protest

This video clip does not show Hells Angels heading to Aurora, Colorado on 31 August 2024. Neither does it show Hells Angels heading to Milwaukee in July 2024, as other people have alleged (example).

The original video clip was actually recorded in Canada, sometime in April 2022 – more than 2 years ago, as a convoy of motorcyclists headed to Ottawa for the 2022 Rolling Thunder protest ride.

The original clip was posted on TikTok by @bidmartcanada (but appears to have been removed) but it is still available on TikTok (here) and was also featured in this CTV News video on 25 April 2022.

Fact #2 : This video was recorded a year ago

This video was edited to claim that the Hells Angels bikers were going to, or are already at, Aurora, Colorado, in August 2024. That’s not true.

The original video was posted by @johnwauto on 17 August 2023 – a year ago. It showed bikers riding through Main Street of Sturgis, South Dakota.

It is unknown if those bikers were from Hells Angels. But why is certain is that they were in Sturgis for the 83rd Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which ran for 10 days from 4-13 August.

To be clear – those bikers were there for a good time, not to trade fists and gunfire with Venezuelan gang members in Aurora, Colorado!

Fact #4 : These bikers are from Survivors Motorcycle Club

This video does not show Hells Angels bikers heading to Aurora, Colorado, to fight against Venezuelan gang members. They are from the Survivors MC – a motorcycle club dedicated to combating addiction.

The video was originally posted by @aliens_are_purple on 31 August 2024, with hashtags like #cleanandsober, #soberlife, and #getyourmindright

He also shared in a later video that they had already arrived at the venue (which is obviously not Aurora in Colorado), and had a little barbecue, and explained that the 4-day road trip was to raise money for a good cause.

Fact #6 : These do not appear to be Hells Angels bikers

This video was allegedly taken by @sp500_trades, who posted it on X (archive) saying “Can confirm. #HellsAngels headed to Aurora, CO!”

He said that he recorded the video on Highway 64, near the Arkansas-Oklahoma border, on the afternoon of August 30, 2024 (archive, archive). Apparently, it was a long convoy of bikes followed by some repair vans, headed west on Highway 64.

However, if you look closely, you can see that it’s an eclectic convoy of motorcycles and trikes in a staggered formation. The Hells Angels ride in a tight paired formation, and they do not ride trikes. So those are unlikely to be Hells Angels bikers.

In addition, you can see that shadows appear on the left side of the bikers, which suggest that the bikers are heading south. If they were headed west, they would be riding with the sun in their face, not to their right.

Of course, the highway may have curved south when this video was recorded, and the bikers are headed west to Colorado. After all, there was a biker rally in Durango, Colorado from 29 August to 1 September. But what is clear is that those are not Hells Angels bikers.

Is Taiwan storing tanks + weapons in temples and churches?!

Is Taiwan stationing its tanks and weapons in temples, churches and other religious places?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Taiwan is storing tanks + weapons in temples + churches!

Some people are claiming that Taiwan is stationing its tanks and weapons in temples, churches and other religious places!

ShanghaiPanda : Taiwan is stationing a lot of weapons in temples, churches and other religious places.👇

In the future, in case the war breaks out, I am sure the western media will criticize mainland China for attacking these places.

US Civil Defense News : 🚨Update: Taiwan is deploying its weapons across the island and stationing weapons in temples, churches and other religious places.

In the future, when war breaks out, the western media will criticize the China PLA for attacking these locations!

磊哥聊政经 : 台湾的宫庙现在是这样的：台湾蛙兵的作战策略非常清晰：用台湾老百姓当挡箭牌垫背的

Translated : Taiwan’s temples are now like this: The Taiwanese frogmen’s combat strategy is very clear: using the Taiwanese people as a shield

Translated : In fact, it is not surprising that the Taiwan DU drove tanks into the temple. If you open the map and look at their military bases, you will understand how many of them are next to kindergartens and schools! Using children and students as shields has been going on for decades.

Show less

Truth : Taiwan is not storing tanks + weapons in temples + churches!

This is yet another example of propaganda created and/or promoted by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) and/or pro-CCP netizens, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Photo Was Taken In Taitung In 2022

Some people have suggested that this photo was taken recently, during the Hanguang 40 exercise at the Madou Daitianfu Temple (麻豆代天府) in Tainan. That’s not true.

The photo is genuine, but isn’t new. It was taken in 2022. The photo was also taken at a different temple – the Taitung City Zhiben Daitianfu Temple (台東市知本代天府) – about 130 km further north.

When that photo went viral two years ago, it was not because people actually believed that Taiwan was placing tanks and weapons in temples and other religious places. Taiwanese netizens poked fun at it because it appeared as if the dog was guarding those tanks!

Fact #2 : Tanks Were Temporarily Parked

At the time the photo was taken, the Taiwanese Army was holding exercises nearby, and asked the temple to temporarily use its compound to park its tanks.

That military exercise did not involve live-fire, so the tanks did not have any ammunition in them. In addition, the tanks were not stored at the temple, but removed at end of the exercise.

Fact #3 : Taiwanese Army Confirmed The Facts

The Taiwan Fact Checking Center contacted the Taiwanese Army (Republic of China Army) headquarters, which confirmed that the photo was taken when their soldiers parked their tanks at the temple during its 2022 military exercise.

Fact #4 : No Tanks Or Weapons Are Being Stored In Temples

The Taiwan Fact Checking Center also contacted both temples, and was told that no troops, tanks, or weapons are being stored on their grounds.

The Tainan Madou Diantianfu temple, which was misidentified in this drama, never hosted any tanks. It only provided accommodations to the Taiwanese Army during a different military exercise in its area several years ago, as it had vacancies in quarters that were normally reserved for pilgrims.

Other than this single photo of two tanks being parked in a temple two years ago, there has been no other report of temples, churches, or other religious places being used by the Taiwanese Army to store tanks or weapons.

Unsurprisingly, none of those who made these claims actually provided any evidence to back them up.

Fact #5 : One Unit Did Consider Using Temples To Store Ammunition

While that photo actually went viral two years ago, it appears to have been resurrected by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), and/or pro-CCP netizens, to take advantage of a controversy that erupted in early July 2024, over a suggestion to store ammunition on one temple’s grounds.

On June 17, 2024, the Taiwanese Army Armed Forces Reserve Command for Maoli County issued a letter to the Tianbao Temple (天寶寺), asking for permission to stockpile ammunition on its grounds in the event of an imminent conflict. The redacted letter was released online, triggering criticism by Taiwanese netizens.

On Monday, 1 July 2024, the Maoli County Armed Forces Reserve Command clarified that it had no plans to stockpile ammunition in temples, and it was merely requesting local temples to take part in its logistics resilience exercises. It urged the Taiwanese people to cooperate with efforts to bolster the combat preparedness of the armed forces, as national security cannot be maintained without the support of the public.

On the same day, Jiouhu Village (九湖) Warden Tseng I-nan (曾義男) said that the military called him to apologise for the controversy, and said that its ammunition storage proposal has been scrapped. Tseng said that he disagreed with the proposal as using religious sites for military purposes is banned under international law.

Fact #6 : This Is Just CCP Propaganda

While one Taiwanese Army unit did consider storing ammunition (not weapons or tanks) on temple grounds, it never came to fruition. As far as we can tell – no temple or church or other religious places in Taiwan have been used, or are being used, to store weapons or tanks or ammunition for the Taiwanese Army.

Ultimately, this appears to be nothing more than than yet another example of propaganda created or promoted by the infamous Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛), and/or pro-CCP netizens. Here are some other examples I fact-checked recently:
