Fact #1 : Project Veritas Videos Are Always Misleading
It is a hallmark of Project Veritas videos that they are secretly recorded, and then
heavily edited to cast a misleading angle in the story, or to push misinformation.
In other words – propaganda.
You can watch the video they have been sharing, which we added a
Misleading overlay to prevent abuse, to see for yourself.
You could find yourself agreeing with them that they “exposed” Nick Karl, but I will show you why it’s just a sleight of hand and why the video is not only misleading, it doesn’t change anything.
Fact #2 : The Project Veritas Video Was Heavily Edited
The viral video shows Nick Karl (Nicholas Karl) dining with a lady (from Project Veritas) in a social setting, saying :
When somebody is naturally immune, like, they got COVID, they probably have better, like, not better, but more antibodies against the virus.
So, your antibodies are probably better at that point than the vaccination.
Wow, that sounds like an admission that natural immunity is better than vaccination, doesn’t it?
However, Project Veritas edited this part out of the original Nick Karl video :
Because what the vaccine is – is, like I said, that protein – that’s just on the outside. So it’s just one antibody against one specific part of the virus.
When you actually get the virus, you’re going to start producing antibodies against, like, multiple pieces of virus and not only just like that outside portion, like the inside portion, the actual virus.
So you have to ask yourself – what else did Project Veritas edit out of the full Nick Karl video?
No one knows because Project Veritas did not release the full, unedited video.
Fact #3 : Nothing Nick Said Are Secrets
At the end of the video, Project Veritas cuts to Nick saying, “
I specifically have, like… Oh God, I signed NDAs against this.”
Sounds incriminating, but we don’t actually know what he’s referring to because … Project Veritas heavily-edited the video and removed all context!
But what may not seem obvious at first glance is this – whatever he said in that video is not exactly correct, and is really not a secret.
It’s just basic virology and vaccine science, so why would he need to sign an NDA?
Could it be possible he wanted to impress the lady and cooked up that NDA story to make him sound more important? Who knows? Because Project Veritas edited out all context!
Fact #4 : Antibodies Are Produced Against EXTERNAL Virus Surfaces
Nick Karl was only
partly correct in his explanation in that video.
When the immune system recognises the SARS-CoV-2 virus as foreign, it produces antibodies that attach to the virus surface, blocking it from infecting cells, and flagging it for macrophages to eat and destroy (phagocytosis).
Because the immune system can only see the
EXTERNAL virus surfaces, it only produces antibodies against the
EXTERNAL virus surfaces.
Your immune system doesn’t have x-ray vision, and thus cannot produce antibodies against the internal part of the virus – its RNA. Even if it could, the antibodies cannot penetrate the virus to attach to the RNA.
Fact #5 : More Antibodies Doesn’t Mean Better Immunity
Nick Karl is correct that your immune system will produce more antibodies because the SARS-CoV-2 virus offers a “complete” range of surfaces for different antibodies to be designed and produced.
However, having a wide range of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 does not mean that the immunity is better. That’s why Nick actually said “
not better, but more antibodies“.
In fact, inactivated virus vaccines like the
Sinovac CoronaVac vaccine are
LESS EFFECTIVE than mRNA vaccines, even though they offer the complete SARS-CoV-2 virus surface to the immune system.
Antibodies against envelope proteins, for example, may attach to the virus but not prevent it from infecting cells.
That’s why most COVID-19 vaccines target the
spike protein that the virus uses to infect our cells. Their antibodies will attach to the spike proteins, physically preventing the virus from attaching to our cells.
We do not just want MORE antibodies, we want MORE antibodies of the RIGHT KIND.
Fact #6 : Natural Immunity Is NOT Robust
Irrespective of what Nick Karl may have said, and all the videos that Project Veritas may produce, they will not change the fact that
natural immunity to COVID-19 is NOT robust.
On 10 May 2021, the WHO released a
scientific brief on COVID-19 natural immunity, which points out that :
90-99% of infected individuals develop neutralising antibodies within 2-4 weeks of the infection.
1-10% of infected individuals do NOT develop neutralising antibodies at all.
Individuals with
mild / asymptomatic infection produce LOWER antibodies than those with severe COVID-19.
Natural immunity appears to offer 80-90% protection against reinfection for up to 7 months, but only 50% for people over 65 years old.
Because reinfections (sometimes twice!) have been reported even in younger adults with natural immunity, the WHO and all major health authorities recommend that even people who survive COVID-19 should get vaccinated.
Fact #7 : Natural Immunity Is Risky
What Project Veritas does not mention is that for you to gain “natural immunity”, you must first put your life at risk by getting infected with COVID-19.
The risk of dying from COVID-19 ranges from 0.25% to 10%, depending on whether there is ready access to an ICU and ventilator. And even if you do survive, you may have to live with the long COVID.
Vaccines offer a
safer way to attain immunity against COVID-19. They are essentially
self-defence classes that teach our own immune system to identify and create antibodies against COVID-19.
Choosing to risk your life with a “natural” COVID-19 infection instead of a vaccine, is like refusing to undergo military training before going to battle.
