WHO Chief Scientist Warns "No Evidence COVID Vaccine Prevents Viral Transmission"

 Of course a Vaccine whatever the results will solve nothing! This is what doctors have been saying from the beginning. The specificity of the Covid flu virus is its very high speed of mutation. Consequently, we were going to have significant mutant sooner than later... 

Mask and social distancing are forever because they are not medical but political decisions. The WHO instead of taking its time to listen to medical experts has bent twice over, first to deny the artificial origin of the virus under pressure from China, then to push aggressively for the unreasonably fast vaccination of population while knowing that it would probably be useless against new strains. Now what?

 Here's the article from Zero Hedge:

WHO Chief Scientist Warns "No Evidence COVID Vaccine Prevents Viral Transmission"


Once again, the WHO has stepped in to offer some confusing comments about the coronavirus vaccine, warning that there is "no evidence to be confident shots prevent transmission" and that people who receive the vaccine should continue wearing masks and following all social distancing and travel guidelines.

The comments were made by WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan during what appears to have been a virtual press conference held Monday.

A clip of the offending line has begun circulating on social media.

"At the moment, I don't believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines, to be confident that it's going to prevent people from getting the infection and passing it on,"

Of course, a close look at the research released by Pfizer and Moderna shows the studies haven't actually tested whether the vaccines actually prevent transmission of the virus; the goal of the trials was to see whether vaccinated patients presented with COVID symptoms at a rate that was substantially less frequent than individuals who hadn't been vaccinated. That's pretty much it. Though the data might hint at lowering transmission rates, that's still tbd, apparently.

Some on twitter scoffed at the comment.

The doctor went on to explain that there's no evidence to suggest that those who have been vaccinated wouldn't be a risk if they traveled to a foreign country, say Australia, with relatively low COVID rates.

At this point, it might be helpful for the WHO to produce some kind of clarification that either offers substantially more context to explain this remark.

But we suspect they won't.

Why? Well, perhaps because that context might undermine certain government officials' insistence that there's absolutely no reason to question the efficacy, and potential side effects (both long-term, and short) tied to the new COVID-19 vaccines.
