3d NH Testimony on 2/16/23

Honorable Chairpersons, Members and Senators,

My name is Dr. Meryl Nass, and I am testifying against HB 425.

We have learned from the COVID experience that vaccines given to 80% of Americans may yield only brief and partial benefit.  See the CDC graphic below, presented to its advisory committee last fall, which reveals around zero benefit after six months, for all age groups.

Their risks may exceed their benefits.

They may not prevent transmission.[1]  They may have no possibility of providing any herd immunity.[2]

They may cause severe injuries and deaths.

[Someone asked in the comments about the vigi-access site, so I downloaded the Pfizer mRNA vax reports 2/17. There are nearly 5 million. See below.]

They may have never completed clinical trials.

They may even cause negative efficacy--making the vaccine recipient more susceptible to getting COVID, beginning about 6 months after vaccination.

Their widespread rollout is temporally associated with more excess deaths in all age groups, apart from those over 85, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics and the NY Times.

Does New Hampshire really want to compel vaccination as a condition to receiving public benefits?  Do you want to compel vaccinations for the poorest or sickest residents, leaving those with greater means a choice whether to vaccinate?

Does New Hampshire want to be in a position where it might be liable to pay damages, or contribute to the medical costs accrued by the vaccine injured, many of whom are on Medicaid?

--------

Mere days after Dr. Tony Fauci left his job as director of the National Institute for Allergy and infectious Diseases, he was senior author on a paper[3] whose link I have provided to you, in which he admits that, quote:

" none of the predominantly mucosal respiratory viruses have ever been effectively controlled by vaccines."  In the conclusion, Fauci reiterates, "durably protective vaccines against non-systemic mucosal respiratory viruses with high mortality rates have thus far eluded vaccine development efforts."

He has finally admitted that vaccines against influenza, COVID and the soon to be licensed RSV vaccines barely help the recipient, and cannot provide herd immunity.  Does New Hampshire truly want to compel vaccination for anyone with vaccines that even Dr. Fauci now acknowledges work poorly, when we have no way at present to make them work better?  

It's 2023, and time to accept the facts:  we cannot make a good vaccine against respiratory viruses, including flu and COVID.  It is anyone's guess whether we can make them for any future pandemic.  Compelled pandemic vaccinations no longer make sense.  Allow people the right to choose.
