“Please don’t make your view on mass vaccination public”, an Indian friend advised me. “Nobody will listen anyway”. He probably is right, but since I am worried and trust my reason and intuition, I feel I need to write…
Suppose, we have a problem and believe, we found a method to solve it. Most experts agree that it is the best method, yet there are also experts who claim it will make things worse.
We use the method. Soon after, the problem gets bigger. We push the method even stronger. Yet the problem still gets worse.
Should we not pause and consider the arguments of those who had warned against using this method?
Yet this is not done. Doctors and scientists, who come on Indian TV, still don’t acknowledge that there could be not only a correlation but also a connection between the frightening increase in deaths and hospitalizations in India in the second wave from Covid19, which is still at a much higher level than even the peak of the first wave, and the mass vaccination drive. This increase in deaths is seen drastically also in other Asian countries after they started vaccinating widely. Thailand for example had only 80 deaths due to Covid from the start in 2020 till April 2021. Then they started vaccinating. Meanwhile, the country has 1,555 deaths with 30 alone on June 17th.
Even in countries, which have already vaccinated a great part of their population, the deaths are increasing. Chile has given already 20 million doses with a population of only 19 million, yet the deaths on June 17 (218) would mean around 16,000 deaths in the Indian population context.
Specific versus broad based immunity
The critics of mass vaccination had warned that the vaccine induced immunity is specific for the original Corona virus, while our innate, natural immunity is broad based, which means it can tackle different variants of the virus. Virologist and vaccine developer Geert Vanden Bossche warned that a vaccination drive, while the virus is all over, forces the virus into more dangerous mutations and for the vaccinated, the specific immunity outperforms their innate immunity.
Not surprisingly in the present climate of intolerance on social media, Geert Vanden Bossche and many others, who are not in agreement with the WHO view, are defamed. “Why this guy is dead wrong” is the first video that shows up when googling his name on YouTube, calling the head of reputed vaccine development institutions with great credentials as “guy”.
Incidentally, when googling my name, the first article which shows up is also titled “Why Maria Wirth is wrong” (regarding my views on Hinduism). “Wrong” doesn’t mean wrong here. It means “politically incorrect”.
Usually, I write only on Hindu Dharma and religion, but l had followed the news on Corona from the start and noticed many strange happenings.
Some observations and questions
Why was from the start, the “Corona pandemic” so much hyped by the media worldwide?
Do you remember the horrendous pictures of people dropping dead in China? How they brutally enforced a lockdown in Wuhan? Built hospitals in record time, etc.? TV channels created panic 24/7. Or do you remember the rows of hundreds of coffins in Bergamo/ Italy? It was a fake picture. The bodies in the coffins were of migrants who had drowned. What was the intention to mislead?
And what was the intention to flood us daily with cumulative numbers of ‘cases’, which continues even today? Without saying how many were asymptomatic or had just a light flu? Or how many of those who died had co-morbidities’? (97 percent in Bergamo) And what was their average age? (in Bergamo over 80 years}.
Imagine, we would hear daily in great detail the numbers of those who had died and were injured in road accidents all over the country. We would be afraid to travel. Incidentally, about the same number of Indians died in road accidents in 2019 (150,000 and mostly young) as the number given for Corona deaths in 2020. We cannot save every life. Some risk is inherent in living.
There are many more unanswered questions:
Why did several countries, not allow doctors to treat Corona with Hydroxychloroquine? A few days after India had generously lifted the export ban on this drug on the request by President Trump, media reported that according to a study in Lancet, “double the number of patients died who took HCQ”. Lancet took down the article. It was not true, but it had created confusion.
Why nobody tells us that the PCR test has many false positives when the amplifying cycles go above 25 and that this test must not be used for diagnosis? In January 2021 the WHO finally acknowledged this fact. Yet on the basis of PCR test results, the panic was sustained, and asymptomatic, healthy people had to observe quarantine.
Why does the definition of a Corona death not include causality? A death is counted as “from or with Corona”, when the person had tested positive and had died within 4 weeks of testing. A German doctor gave an example: when a person gets the news that he is positive and jumps out of the window, he is counted as Corona death.
Why did governments in several countries incentivize doctors and hospitals to declare deaths as from Corona and to do PCR testing? Even if someone was very old, had terminal cancer, but had tested positive, Corona overrode the other factors as cause for death.
Yet reluctance…
Compare this with the great reluctance or outright refusal to connect deaths with the vaccine, even if it happened a few hours afterwards. In homes for senior citizens in Europe, many seniors died soon after vaccination. They suddenly tested positive after vaccination and were counted as Corona deaths. Others died of heart attacks or strokes soon after vaccination.
And a VERY important question:
Why did the WHO change its definition of “pandemic” in 2009 and removed the dead and sick from it? Earlier, an enormous number of dead and sick people was the condition for declaring a pandemic. Since 2009 it is enough that a virus spreads quickly. Whether people die or are sick is no longer a criterion for pandemic. Sounds strange? It surely does.
How it developed over time
Already in March 2020, several doctors and scientists spoke out on YouTube that Corona is not that dangerous, and many of those videos were taken down. President Trump also called it a bad flu and got a storm of heaviest criticism in return. Estimates by academic institutions spoke of millions of dead if the countries wouldn’t lock down. Governments probably didn’t want to risk being responsible for millions of deaths, in case those estimates were right.
In April 2020, Bill Gates declared that he wants to vaccinate seven billion people. Angela Merkel repeated it in February 2021, “The pandemic will not end, until the world is vaccinated.”
Yet in September 2020, the lethality was said to be 0,37 percent, similar to Influenza. And the German bureau of statistics did not record significantly more deaths for the year 2020 than in earlier years.
So was the “solution” to the pandemic discovered by politicians like Angela Merkel and “philanthropist” Bill Gates who is a massive sponsor of the WHO and massively invested in the vaccine business?
Where were the scientists?
Many scientists were probable busy searching for vaccines. Ever since President Trump jumped on the mass vaccination bandwagon, countries jostled to get their share of the big pie.
Meanwhile in China
Yet something was strange. While the world was in panic and locked down, China had miraculously overcome the pandemic in record time and closed the new hospitals. We could watch on TV how the nurses took off their masks and smiled while walking out.
And India…
India had relatively few cases and deaths in the first 5 months, even though media did its best to make the situation appear very bad. When several people were infected in Dharavi, the greatest slum in Mumbai, media painted a doomsday scenario. Dharavi was locked down, and there was NO doomsday. Later I read in the paper, that 57 per cent of the population of Dharavi had antibodies. It meant they had contracted the virus without noticing it, and that certain herd immunity was acquired due to the impossibility of distancing. In comparison, in a gated community, only 18 percent had antibodies after having been a containment zone, the paper wrote.
Epidemiologist: Lockdowns, masks prolong an epidemic
So what should we conclude from this? Is it not an indicator that lockdown, masks and distancing are counterproductive? Epidemiologist Dr. Knut Wittkowski claims that attempts to stop the spread of the virus like lockdowns, masks only prolong the epidemic and also lead to a dangerous diversification of the virus.
Shouldn’t we find out who is foremost in danger of dying from it and protect those, mainly the old and sick? And shouldn’t we all strengthen our innate immunity?
In the beginning, we were indeed encouraged to strengthen our immunity with Ayurveda, Pranayama, Kadha, Haldi, etc. Yet this advice is meanwhile completely missing in official broadcasts. Why? Now it’s only about masks, distancing, and vaccination. Is this not a sad climb down by India which has great knowledge how to boost immunity?
Comment by former chief scientist of Pfizer
Why was this done? Was it done because Bill Gates and Big Pharma had “convinced” politicians worldwide that a vaccine for the whole world must be the solution? Prominent scientists warned of this solution. The former chief scientist of Pfizer, Dr. Michael Yeadon said that “there is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. “I’ve never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines. You do not vaccinate people who aren’t at risk from the disease. You also don’t set about planning to vaccinate millions of fit and healthy people with a vaccine that hasn’t been extensively tested on human subjects,” Yeadon said.
Yet those critical voices were silenced. A friend of mine tried to put his comment on Facebook and was immediately informed that her post is not visible and she needs to remove it.
Is Yeadon not right that it is nonsense to vaccinate the “world”, 7 billion people including children, against a virus which had killed for example in Thailand with its 70 million inhabitants only 60 people in the whole of 2020? Now, after about 3,7 million jabs, the number rose to 1,550. Should this not worry us?
Take Africa:
The whole of Africa with the exception of South Africa, had till April 2021 relatively few deaths (South Africa 54,000 and 66,000 the rest). There is presently no rise, but a slight dip and vaccinations are still few. But WHO wants to ramp them up.
Now look at India
Till February 2021, the virus killed 150,000 (many of them had comorbidities) of average 9 million dying every year, or 1,6 percent of the total deaths. Moreover, the maximum deaths occurred in only one state Maharashtra, and it would need an enquiry, what was the reason for this abnormality.
The Indian population has generally good immunity. The virus seemed to have petered out, just when the vaccination started, and 2nd and 3rd waves were expected not being so dangerous any longer.
But India also has a very strong Pharma sector. Did India decide to vaccinate its population because the government genuinely believes that it is the best solution? The opposition Congress, too, wants to vaccinate Indians as fast as possible, though it sends out occasionally conflicting signals. It is rare that government and opposition are on the same page. Should this be celebrated or is it reason for worry?
Now the all-important question:
Could it be that the policy of mass vaccination is not the best solution?
More and more harmful side effects of all vaccines become known and people become wary. The Bavarian Chief minister said “those who have the courage should come forward and take the AstraZeneka vaccine” after it had been temporarily suspended. Norway and Denmark banned it. In the USA, vaccination fatigue set in. The vaccine by Johnson and Johnson was suspended. In Africa, vaccine hesitancy is wide spread and the WHO tries to counter “misinformation” about the vaccine.
Safe and effective?
Yet in India, most people seem convinced that only the vaccine can save us and it is “absolutely safe and effective”.
This surely cannot be said for a vaccine that was developed in a hurry, where trials are still going on, where long-term effects are not known, where the companies are not liable for any damages to one’s health. Moreover, most of those vaccines are not normal vaccines but try to influence the behavior of genes. And while even normal vaccines take average 8 years to be developed, this new gen technology was developed in a record time and claims are made that it is even effective against new mutants, which however doesn’t seem to hold.
Appeal to the WHO by scientists
Geert Vanden Bossche made an emotional appeal to the WHO already in April: “Please stop the mass vaccination immediately”. In June 2021, 57 more scientists appealed to the WHO to immediately stop the vaccination drive.
European scientists have filed cases at the European Court for annulment of the emergency use approval for the vaccines and asked for urgent hearing.
Meanwhile the vaccination drive all over the world continues at a rapid pace. We don’t hear, how many of those who are dying now of Corona, had already taken a jab. In Europe, there were many. And in UK, a recent report says that the Delta variant claimed more lives among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated.
Terrifying prognosis
Many governments locked down in March 2020, when terrifying estimates of millions of deaths were circulating. Luckily, these estimates didn’t come true. Incidentally, similar estimates were given in 2009 for the Swine Flu which luckily also didn’t come true.
Now, another terrifying prognosis is given by eminent scientists like Dr. Bossche, that the virus becomes more virulent and may go out of control due to the human interference with the vaccination drive.
And more bad news from scientists which was recently revealed by Dr Byram Bridle from Canada and which was already since long suspected by Prof Bhakdi who is based in Germany: It’s now confirmed, that the Pfizer vaccine doesn’t stay in the arm as is usual in other vaccines, but wanders all over the body which can result in great damage. It needs to be checked if this is true for the other vaccines as well.
Natural health and immunity through Ayurveda
I wished, India would support her great, beneficial, long-proven Ayurveda and share it with the world, instead of supporting Big Pharma and new, not fully tested vaccines with genetically modified organisms.
There is a video of a press conference in China from March 2020 on the net, where Chinese doctors claim that they were victorious over Corona with the help of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
India is the mother of such effective traditional medicine since many thousands of years. It wants people to be healthy. It doesn’t want people to be dependent on drugs.
But will Big Pharma, Big Tech, and the China friendly WHO let this happen?
That’s why I am worried…

Namaste,Your insights
I think whatever harmful side effects have been reported, they are of the vaccines based on the mRNA or gene-based stuff. Perhaps the traditionally-made Covaxin in/by India is a lot safer?
A very informative and a sharp analysis of the Corona related hype peddled by vested groups to cash on the Corona crisis.Thanks MARIA

Sorry saw your comment only now
Please feel free to share
You wrote so much and in so much details . It’s sad that not many people are paying attention.
Take care Maria.
Namaste ma’am. I always saw your tweets regarding how Vaccine were harmful(blood clots etc.) but that didn’t change my mind. From past two weeks, I have read your articles, saw many videos regarding how Vaccine would affect our lives and I believe that there’s a global nexus behind vaccinating the whole population. However taking vaccine is optional for one but students like me are forced to take vaccine. It is compulsory to take atleast one dose before attending the the college orelse our hall ticket will be withheld.
dear Karanth, i am very sorry, i see your message only now. yes, i know there is tremendous pressure, but government has said it’s “entirely voluntary” when in Parliament a question was asked if there is compensation for possible vaccine side effects. no, there won’t be compensation. but check this link, https://www.linkedin.com/posts/avatansk_vaccinate-lawyer-vaccination-activity-6825035928050966528-trgA and also @awakenindiamovement. in Manipur a student was exempted after he asked to get the mandate in writing. he was asked what prevention he takes and he gave the Ayush ministry protocol that recently allowed Ayurveda… best of luck
thank you. sorry i see your message now only. my blog has much reduced visibility since some 2, 3 years and i don’t check often.
Well said.
