Top U.S. government epidemiologist Dr. Matthew Memoli warned Dr. Anthony Fauci about the potential negative consequences of mandating COVID-19 vaccinations, an unearthed email from 2021 has revealed.
“Coercing or forcing people to take a vaccine can have negative consequences from a biological, sociological, psychological, economical, and ethical standpoint and is not worth the cost even if the vaccine is 100% safe,” Memoli, director of the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases clinical studies unit at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), wrote to Fauci and others.
Upon urging mass vaccinations, Fauci claimed a significant increase in vaccinated communities would lead to a safer environment. Memoli, who has spent years researching influenza vaccinations, expressed reservations.
“At best what we are doing with mandated mass vaccination does nothing and the variants emerge evading immunity anyway as they would have without the vaccine,” Memoli wrote. “At worst it drives evolution of the virus in a way that is different from nature and possibly detrimental, prolonging the pandemic or causing more morbidity and mortality than it should.”
Memoli also raised concerns regarding the bioethical aspects of the mandates, referring to issues such as the vaccines’ diminished protection over time, potential severe health risks, and the undifferentiated spread rate between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. During a debate at an NIH event, Memoli acknowledged the necessity of vaccine mandates but questioned their justification in the case of COVID-19 vaccines, given their transitory effectiveness.
A number of recent studies have proved that the COVID-19 vaccines caused several serious medical side effects, some of which are lethal.
