(NaturalHealth365) Astute readers who use social media might have come across a major gaffe by Instagram and Facebook “fact-checkers” recently, who have made the incredibly misleading claim that the COVID injection has been “approved” for use in the United States.  This may seem like a small matter of semantics, but as supplement companies know well, “approval” from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a LOT different from “authorized for use” under emergency use authorization (EUA).

Indeed, the EUAs for the Pfizer, Moderna, and now Janssen jabs explicitly allow the FDA to authorize the use of “unapproved medical products.”  We bring this up to remind people what the media seems all too willing to brush aside: that these shots are investigational and there’s still a lot about them we don’t know.  Now, one Houston-area doctor is calling special attention to his concerns over the mRNA technology used to make the Pfizer and Moderna experimental drugs.

“Experimental gene therapy:” Houston doctor offers his thoughts on the true nature of COVID shot

In a video posted to Rumble.com on March 15, Houston doctor Dr. Steve Hotze talks about his professional opinion about what the mRNA COVID shot from Moderna and Pfizer really are.  Here are a few talking points from the 18-minute clip:

• Dr. Hotze asserts that the current shots available for COVID-19 don’t provide immunity against COVID-19 — which explains why the FDA and CDC warn it’s still possible for people to get and spread SARS-CoV-2 even if they’ve gotten the jab.  Indeed, these unapproved “vaccines” — which were authorized for use without any long-term data nor published animal studies — do not meet the CDC’s own definition of a vaccine.  (You may notice that even Dr. Hotze inaccurately refers to the vaccines as having been “approved” by the government — goes to show you how blurry the lines truly are surrounding these drugs.)
• What these experimental gene therapy drugs are actually designed to do is minimize your symptoms if you do become infected.
• By law, pharmaceutical companies are not liable for vaccine-related injuries or deaths.  According to Dr. Hotze, this explains why Moderna and Pfizer (with the support of the US government) are deceptively marketing their drugs as vaccines, in order to preemptively protect themselves against future litigation.
• Meanwhile, mRNA gene therapy has never before been tested in humans, “because of its failure in previous animal studies.”

In case you’re wondering, here’s how an mRNA COVID injection works, according to the FDA:

“The [Pfizer and Moderna] COVID-19 Vaccine contains messenger RNA (mRNA), which is genetic material.  The vaccine contains a small piece of the SARS-CoV-2 virus’ mRNA that instructs cells in the body to make the virus’ distinctive “spike” protein.  When a person receives this vaccine, their body produces copies of the spike protein, which does not cause disease, but triggers the immune system to produce an immune response against SARS-CoV-2.”

In other news: Why does the FDA seem so desperate for people NOT to talk about immune health?

Along with many other medical professionals, Dr. Hotze has received official warnings from the FDA for allegedly writing about products that are “intended to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-19.”  (It seems the government has a Google Alert set for any mention of “immune-boosting” or “immune function” and COVID-19 in the same sentence.)

To be sure, inaccurate or unsubstantiated claims about vitamins and minerals should not be promoted, and right now no one can make the claim that any vitamin or herb (nor any drug for that matter) can prevent COVID-19 … but it’s not as if having a healthy immune system isn’t important.

For example, we know that obesity — which is linked to immune dysfunction, as noted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — is a leading risk factor for severe COVID illness.  We also know that the stronger and healthier your immune system is, the better equipped you’ll be to handle the stress of fighting off the virus if you do become infected.

So, why is the FDA not educating the public about sustainable weight loss and healthy immune support strategies to help our country put an end to this pandemic?  Why does the government continue to subsidize junk food through its nutritional assistance programs?  Why are our public health leaders not talking about healthy diets, exercise, stress management, time spent outside, and other lifestyle strategies that could enhance the other measures to end the pandemic and keep people healthier — now and in the future?

For context, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admits on their own website that “Vitamin D also helps the immune system fight off bacteria and viruses,” and according to JAMA Network, even Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a September interview that he takes vitamin D because it “does have an impact on your susceptibility to infection” and that he “would not mind recommending it.”

No word yet on whether Dr. Fauci has gotten his written warning from the FDA for talking about a product intended to prevent COVID-19.
