Now that the majority of Americans believe COVID-19 “vaccines” caused mass deaths (Rasmussen survey), the vaccine cartel has pivoted.

No longer able to deny harms, they resort to a new defense: the fraudulent claim that COVID shots “saved millions of lives.” This talking point is designed to override evidence and silence accountability. But it collapses under scrutiny. A new peer-reviewed paper, A Step-by-Step Evaluation of the Claim that COVID-19 Vaccines Saved Millions of Lives, shows in detail why this claim is scientifically baseless and manufactured through deception:

.

Step 1 — The Modeling Scam

The heart of the “millions saved” claim lies in computer models, not observed evidence. The Senate hearing even cited a Commonwealth Fund blog post (Dec 2022) claiming 3.2 million U.S. deaths averted. But that wasn’t the only one.

The paper reviews several highly publicized studies:

• Watson et al. (2022, Lancet Infectious Diseases): projected 14–20 million lives saved worldwide in the first year — based on assumptions of high infection-blocking and mortality risk without vaccination.
• Meslé et al. (2021, Eurosurveillance): estimated 470,000 lives saved in Europe, ignoring both natural immunity and early treatment options.
• Commonwealth Fund (2022 blog & updates): claimed massive U.S. deaths averted, with little methodological transparency.

Across all of them, the problems were the same:

• Assumptions stacked on assumptions (fixed infection fatality rates, no waning, vaccines stop spread).
• Counterfactual fantasy: “what would have happened without vaccines” projected with inflated baselines.
• Harms excluded: no deaths or adverse events from vaccination were ever considered.

The authors conclude: these “millions saved” numbers are political constructs — simulations engineered to create the illusion of benefit.

Step 2 — The “Stop the Spread” Lie Was the Core Input 

The models’ “lives saved” numbers depended on assuming vaccines stopped spread. The Commonwealth Fund, Watson, Meslé — all explicitly treated vaccination as preventing infection chains, meaning every jab supposedly broke links that would have led to hospitalizations and deaths.

But the reality is undeniable: COVID shots never prevented infection or transmission. Breakthrough cases appeared within weeks of rollout and by 2022 the most vaccinated and boosted populations were driving major waves.

That means the very foundation of the “millions saved” models — durable transmission blocking — was never real. The math was built on a lie.

Step 3 — Zero Proof They Prevented Deaths 

Once it was undeniable that vaccines didn’t stop infection, the cartel shifted: “Okay, but they still prevented millions of deaths from severe illness.” This is where the paper drills down into the evidence:

• Randomized Trials: Pfizer and Moderna RCTs were not powered to show mortality benefit. Six-month Pfizer data showed more deaths in the vaccine arm (15 vs. 14). There was no proof of deaths prevented.
• Observational Studies: Israeli NEJM studies and similar reports were methodologically flawed. The paper’s conditional probability analysis showed that the apparent reduction in severe outcomes was just an artifact of short-lived infection prevention, not independent protection against death.
• Dashboards: National health dashboards were widely cited to “prove” fewer deaths among vaccinated. But they presented raw, unadjusted counts. When proper controls were applied, the supposed mortality benefit disappeared — sometimes even reversing.

The authors show clearly: there is no empirical evidence that vaccines prevented deaths.

Step 4 — How the “Millions Saved” Myth Was Manufactured 

If the evidence for “millions saved” was this weak, how did it become the official story? The study shows it wasn’t an accident — it was manufactured and enforced by officials, institutions, and media:

• Methodological Tricks: Studies were designed to flatter vaccines — cutting off follow-up before waning appeared, misclassifying vaccine deaths as “unvaccinated,” and ignoring adverse events altogether.
• Misrepresentation: Temporary dips in infection were sold as permanent proof of death prevention.
• Misinterpretation: Crude dashboard counts were treated as scientific fact, even though they ignored age, comorbidities, and risk differences.
• Censorship: Scientists who raised alarms were silenced, de-platformed, or smeared as “misinformation.”

Through these tactics, a fragile, assumption-driven claim was weaponized into a fraudulent consensus — repeated in Senate hearings, government press releases, and media soundbites as though it were beyond question.

 

Conclusion 

The “millions of lives saved” claim is the fraudulent fallback of the vaccine cartel. It collapses when you:

1. See the models (Watson, Meslé, Commonwealth Fund) are speculative, assumption-laden, and one-sided.
2. Recognize that the infection-blocking they relied on was not based upon reality.
3. Note trials, studies, and dashboards show no independent mortality benefit.
4. Understand the narrative was manufactured through bias, misrepresentation, and censorship.

It isn’t science. It’s propaganda. And Americans are no longer buying it.

The Worldwide Corona Crisis, Global Coup d’Etat Against Humanity

by Michel Chossudovsky

Michel Chossudovsky reviews in detail how this insidious project “destroys people’s lives”. He provides a comprehensive analysis of everything you need to know about the “pandemic” — from the medical dimensions to the economic and social repercussions, political underpinnings, and mental and psychological impacts.

“My objective as an author is to inform people worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries, followed by the imposition of the “deadly” COVID-19 “vaccine”. This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: almost 8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings and our children worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.”

Reviews

This is an in-depth resource of great interest if it is the wider perspective you are motivated to understand a little better, the author is very knowledgeable about geopolitics and this comes out in the way Covid is contextualized. —Dr. Mike Yeadon

In this war against humanity in which we find ourselves, in this singular, irregular and massive assault against liberty and the goodness of people, Chossudovsky’s book is a rock upon which to sustain our fight. –Dr. Emanuel Garcia

In fifteen concise science-based chapters, Michel traces the false covid pandemic, explaining how a PCR test, producing up to 97% proven false positives, combined with a relentless 24/7 fear campaign, was able to create a worldwide panic-laden “plandemic”; that this plandemic would never have been possible without the infamous DNA-modifying Polymerase Chain Reaction test – which to this day is being pushed on a majority of innocent people who have no clue. His conclusions are evidenced by renown scientists. —Peter Koenig 

Professor Chossudovsky exposes the truth that “there is no causal relationship between the virus and economic variables.” In other words, it was not COVID-19 but, rather, the deliberate implementation of the illogical, scientifically baseless lockdowns that caused the shutdown of the global economy. –David Skripac

A reading of  Chossudovsky’s book provides a comprehensive lesson in how there is a global coup d’état under way called “The Great Reset” that if not resisted and defeated by freedom loving people everywhere will result in a dystopian future not yet imagined. Pass on this free gift from Professor Chossudovsky before it’s too late.  You will not find so much valuable information and analysis in one place. –Edward Curtin
