During a press conference held at the European Parliament on November 21, 2023, MEP Marcel de Graaff reported on elements of responses that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) provided to him regarding anti-Covid vaccines. If he sometimes gets to work quickly in terms of conclusions, thereby exciting social networks, there is reason to wonder.
On October 4, the conservative Dutch MEP contacted the EMA to request a suspension of the marketing authorization (AMM) for anti-Covid vaccines, detailing the sources of his concerns: effectiveness of the vaccines at the level of transmission, targets of vaccination campaigns, underestimation of the risks of side effects… On October 18, the EMA responded.
A month later, a press conference titled “ Marcel de Graaff and Joachim Kuhs on shocking revelations about Covid vaccines » is held in the European Parliament. There, Marcel de Graaff throws several paving stones into the pond.
First, it reports that in 2020, the EMA authorized vaccines for “ individual immunization » above all, and not to reduce interpersonal infections. In fact, here is what the EMA wrote in the letter: “ The COVID-19 vaccine information clearly states that the vaccines are intended for active immunization to prevent COVID-19. Additionally, EMA evaluation reports on vaccine authorization note the absence of data on transmissibility. » Furthermore, the institution recommended speaking to a doctor before being vaccinated, to find out if it was useful or not.
The MP recalls that very quickly, European governments chose to recommend vaccination “ to protect others “. According to him, given the absence of data on the reduction of transmission and the opinion of the EMA, it is “ nonsense “. On the other hand, this does not necessarily make vaccination campaigns “ illegal » or « unauthorized », as we read on social networks.
He then focuses on the side effects linked to vaccines. Without denying their existence, the EMA explains in its letter that “ reporting a suspected side effect does not in itself constitute proof that the vaccine caused the side effect in question. These side effects may occur for other reasons in vaccinated people, as well as in unvaccinated people. » She adds, however: “ Since much of the general population has been vaccinated, we expect many cases to be reported for conditions occurring at the time of vaccination or shortly after. » The problem, according to Marcel de Graaff, is that European governments would only have taken into account the declarations of side effects after waiting 14 days following the injection, ” until the vaccine is effective “. The EMA responded to this directly on his websitein the FAQ section: “ No, reports of suspected side effects occurring within 14 days of vaccination are not excluded from safety monitoring. » She also explains that “ the vast majority of known side effects are mild and short-lived “, even if ” in very exceptional cases, deaths have been confirmed to have been caused by a vaccine. »
Ultimately, the EMA rejected the request to suspend marketing authorization, considering that the benefit-risk balance of vaccines remains positive. On the page “ Covid vaccines: key elements » from their site, we always read that “ anti-Covid-19 vaccines work and are safe » from the first line.
Marcel de Graaff nevertheless considers that “ governments and political parties that supported these vaccination campaigns should be held accountable for their lies and fraud “. On Twitter (X), he recently sharing a scientific study carried out by three Italian researchers which reports serious side effects linked to the Spike protein of the vaccine.
