FDA RECORDS SHOW TOP FDA OFFICIALS CONCERNED ABOUT BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION VACCINE BOOSTER TIMELINES THAT “MAKE NO SENSE”

[[link removed]]
We can confirm that the FDA’s decisions on Covid booster shots
were not entirely about “science.”

We received 112 pages
[[link removed]]
from the Food and Drug Administration that show top officials being
pressured by “companies and, for that matter the Administration, who
try to impose timeless [sic] that make no sense.”

We received the records in response to a February 2022 FOIA lawsuit
[[link removed]]
against the
Department of Health & Human Services filed after HHS failed to
respond to a September 3, 2021, FOIA request for records of
communication from the former director and deputy director of the
FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, Dr. Marion Gruber and
Dr. Philip Krause, respectively (_Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:22-cv-00292)).

Drs. Gruber and Krause reportedly resigned during the White House’s
push to approve the COVID-19 vaccine “booster shots.”

On September 13, 2021, Gruber and Krause
[[link removed]]
were among a group of resigning
[[link removed]]
doctors who agreed that, “Available evidence doesn’t yet indicate
a need for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots among the general population
…”

The records include an August 25, 2021, email
[[link removed]]
by Marion Gruber to her boss, Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research (CBER) Director Peter Marks:

Over the last couple of days, Janssen has bombarded us with emails
regarding their booster dose studies.
***

I am also very concerned that companies (such as Pfizer and Janssen)
are trying to put pressure on OVRR [Office of Vaccines Research and
Review] by way of PR [public relations]. We need to be given time to
consider their data and cannot be pushed by these companies and, for
that matter the Administration, who try to impose timeless [sic] that
make no sense (e.g., Sep 20)…. It appears that at least Pfizer’s
data will not be aligned with this approach and the ‘n’ [test
numbers] they have is grossly insufficient. Obviously, we have to
review the data but we have taken a peak and have serious concerns.

Lastly, and this is my personal opinion, data we have seen so far from
various companies (Pfizer, Janssen, Moderna) appear to suggest that
boosters are not needed.
In an email exchange
[[link removed]]
on August 27, 2021, Gruber replies to an email from Maureen Hess, a
communications specialist at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and
Research: “Well, the message appears to be ‘total buy-in in the
need for boosters,’ this is not how I am writing the BD [likely
board decision], I am trying to take a more neutral approach. This
piece sounds as if we already decided to approve this supplement.”

Hess responds, “Okay, I’ll make some additional edits (but JW
[likely Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock] was included on this
statement –
[link removed]
[[link removed]]
– so our edits may be rejected above us.” After sending more
emails about edits Hess made, Gruber replies, “From my perspective
this is as good as it can get. Obviously, this statements [sic] puts
us into a real bind but the damage is already done.”

In an Aug. 20, 2021, email exchange
[[link removed]]
Dr. Doran Fink
[[link removed]],
the
Deputy Director of the FDA’s Division of Vaccines and Related
Products Applications raises questions regarding new data, that
Moderna was submitting to FDA about its COVID vaccine. Fink told Drs.
Gruber, Krause and other colleagues:

I had to bite my tongue when Peter [likely Dr. Peter Marks
[[link removed]],
Director
of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research] mentioned this
morning we wouldn’t be doing rushed reviews anymore so as not to ask
about the booster doses that the administration promised to everyone
by Sept 20!

***

And then there is the question of the data that will support these
booster doses – maybe I’m wrong, but my understanding is that
Pfizer is proposing that their sBLA include the Phase 1 booster data
from a grand total of 23 subjects. I’m not sure what Moderna will
have, but the data Fauci presented in the press conference from NIAID
studies, which was ~25 subjects per treatment arm.
Gruber states in an August 17, 2021, email
[[link removed]]
“They [Dr. Doran’s team] fully understand that the Acting
Commissioner would like to approve this product [Pfizer Covid booster
vaccine] very soon and are trying their best to complete their review
and assessment, while at the same time, maintaining our high standards
and scientific and clinical integrity.”

Philip Krause, in an August 10, 2021 email
[[link removed]],
complains: “It sounds like Peter [likely Center for Biologics
Evaluation and Research Director Peter Marks] thinks he has taken over
all vaccine operations, not just the Pfizer BLA [Biologics License
Application] …”

On August 23, 2021, Dr. Arnold Monto, Professor in the Department of
Epidemiology of the University of Michigan School of Public Health,
emails
[[link removed]]
Drs. Gruber and Krause using the subject “VRBPAC and boosters:”

The Surgeon General last night made a statement that the FDA and CDC
advisory committees would be reviewing Hope that he misspoke about the
VRBPAC (Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee)
Doesn’t seem to be enough time to get it organized Just got asked
about flu vaccination and Covid boosters being given at the same time.
Gave my personal information, don’t
Gruber then replies to Monto: “We will be discussing the
‘booster question’ and related submissions including whether
VRBPAC should be held. We do not know yet and you are right that
timing will be an issue once again.”

On September 22, 2021, the FDA approved use of a booster dose of the
Pfizer drug. According to the organization’s news release
[[link removed]],
the FDA, “amended the emergency use authorization (EUA) for the
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to allow for use of a single booster
dose, to be administered at least six months after completion of the
primary series” for people at “high risk” of “severe
COVID-19.”

These documents confirm a politicized approval process for the
controversial Covid-19 vaccine booster shots. It is a scandal that
took months and a federal lawsuit to expose these troubling facts
about this unprecedented and seemingly never-ending vaccine operation.

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES FOR EMAILS OF DR. FAUCI’S SPOUSE, CHRISTINE
GRADY

We want basic information about the work Dr. Anthony Fauci’s wife,
Christine Grady
[[link removed]],
who is also
employed by the National Institutes of Health. The Biden
administration is trying to block us.

We filed a FOIA suit against the Department of Health and Human
Services for her emails referencing the COVID-19 and related vaccine
controversies. She is an important government official who serves as
chief of the Clinical Center’s Department of Bioethics. (_Judicial
Watch. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:22-cv-02112)).

We sued after NIH responded to our September 9, 2021, FOIA request on
October 6, 2021, by stating that it had recently processed a similar
third-party FOIA request and asking if we would limit our request to
mirror the third-party’s request. We denied this request.

Our FOIA request asks for:

* All emails sent to and from NIH Clinical Center/Department of
Bioethics Director Christine Grady regarding vaccines for the
prevention and/or treatment of SARS-CoV-2 and/or COVID-19.
* All emails sent to and from Ms. Grady referencing the terms
“Antibody Dependent Enhancement,” “ADE” (when used to
represent Antibody Dependent Enhancement), “pathological priming,”
“pre-priming,” “paradoxical immune enhancement,” and/or
“disease enhancement.
* All emails sent between Ms. Grady and [National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Disease] Director Anthony Fauci.

NIH has been hiding Ms. Grady’s emails for almost a year in
violation of FOIA law. This is the very definition of a cover-up. The
unlawful cover-ups of Fauci family government records strongly suggest
that there is something to hide.

This is part of our ongoing investigation into the US government’s
handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the activity of Dr. Fauci
and his wife.

Last week, we filed a FOIA lawsuit
[[link removed]]
on behalf of American Transparency (OpenTheBooks.com) against HHS for
Grady’s employment and financial disclosure records.

An October 2021 lawsuit uncovered
[[link removed]]
that over a 10-year period, Fauci and others at NIH received more link
to than $350 million in secretive “royalty” payments from drug
companies and other third parties.

Another Judicial Watch lawsuit
[[link removed]]
also
just uncovered that an infamous Fauci agency grant tied to the Chinese
Wuhan Institute of Virology and gain of function research had been
under FBI investigation.

We’ll be sure to let you know if and when any new emails in this
case come in.

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES FOR NAVAL ACADEMY CRITICAL RACE THEORY RECORDS

The Marxist Critical Race Theory has spread throughout our military.

We filed a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense for
records related to the United States Naval Academy implementing
Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the training of midshipmen. (_Judicial
Watch. v. U.S. Department of Defense_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:22-cv-02172)).

We sued after the agency failed to respond to an August 5, 2021 FOIA
request for:

* Any and all PowerPoint presentations used for training and/or
classroom instruction discussing Critical Race Theory, CRT (when used
to represent Critical Race Theory); and/or “white supremacy.”
* Any and all emails referencing Critical Race Theory, CRT (when
used to represent Critical Race Theory); and/or “white supremacy”
sent between .mil and/or .gov email accounts and any of the following
USNA officials: Superintendent VADM Sean Buck and/or Deputy
Superintendent CAPT James Bates.

Marxist Critical Race Theory and its racial division have no place in
the Naval Academy, which is training the next generations of Navy
leadership. That the Pentagon has been unlawfully hiding these records
for a year suggests something awful is afoot.

On June 24, 2022, _The Federalist_ reported
[[link removed]]
that the US Navy, “issued an instructional video
[[link removed]]
training
its members to create a ‘safe space’ by using ‘correct’
pronouns. The video emphasized how service members must use
‘inclusive languages’ and not ‘misgender’ others.”

In June, we uncovered
[[link removed]]
over 700
pages of documents revealing critical race theory (CRT) instruction at
the U.S. Military Academy, West Point. One training slide contains a
graphic titled “MODERN-DAY SLAVERY IN THE USA” and many of the
documents denounced “whiteness.”

I appeared
[[link removed]]
on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss these documents and the US
Navy’s pronouns. In speaking about what we have uncovered in their
investigation, I warned:

They suggest that blacks are still the equivalent of slaves today, and
they’re pushing queer theory, which is a “cousin” of the Marxist
critical race theory.

And so our military is being undermined from within. This is the type
of Marxist revolutionary (agenda) that our military was designed
during the Cold War to try to protect this nation from. And now
they’re on the inside.

LOBBYIST BROTHER OF TOP BIDEN ADVISOR PROFITS IMMENSELY FROM WH TIES

It pays to know someone in the White House. Are you surprised? Once
struggling lobbyist Jeff Ricchetti has clearly benefited once his
brother Steve became Biden White House Counselor. Our _Corruption
Chronicles_ blog reports
[[link removed]].


Despite President Biden’s order
[[link removed]]
to “restore ethics in government” by banning members of his
administration from using public service for private gain, his top
advisor’s lobbyist brother is profiting immensely from ties to the
administration after struggling for years. Records obtained by
Judicial Watch show Jeff Ricchetti’s small lobbying firm had just
one client in the years leading up to Biden’s election but has made
an unbelievable turnaround since his brother, Steve Ricchetti, became
White House Counselor. In fact, Ricchetti Inc. has made a killing
since Steve, a longtime Biden confidant and one of the president’s
most trusted aides, became the commander-in-chief’s top advisor. A
slew of recently filed lobbying disclosures obtained by Judicial Watch
show that Ricchetti Inc. raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars in
revenue in just one quarter.

The exceptionally profitable quarter illustrates an upward trajectory
for the once-struggling little firm that began thriving in the
aftermath of Steve’s White House appointment after many sluggish
years. In the first half of 2021, the firm made $1.7 million, more
than quadruple the $370,000 it earned during the same period the
previous year, according to filings obtained by a mainstream newspaper
[[link removed]].
Jeff’s client list grew quickly when Biden won the Democratic
nomination, the article states, and his firm has since enlisted
high-profile clients such as General Motors, Amazon and several
drugmakers. The Ricchetti brothers—63-year-old Steve and 60-year-old
Jeff—are considered one of the most important power brokers in
government. “Not since the heyday of John and Tony Podesta, who
served in the Obama White House and dominated K Street, respectively,
have siblings wielded so much public and private power in
Washington,” reads a national news story
[[link removed]]
published last year. “While John Podesta held a series of
high-ranking positions in the Clinton and Obama White Houses, Tony
Podesta built one of the largest influence-peddling operations in the
capital city,” the article continues. “He minted money,
party-hopped around town in red leather shoes and amassed a
museum-quality collection of artworks valued in the tens of millions
of dollars.”

The latest lobbying disclosures obtained by Judicial Watch show that
most, though not all, of Jeff’s new clients are in the vaccine or
pharmaceutical industry. In all, the records show an estimated
$860,000 in revenue for the second quarter. That includes $80,000 from
Vaxart, which is currently conducting trials for an oral COVID-19
vaccine. An animal study for the vaccine was funded by the Gates
Foundation. The first disclosure showing Jeff Ricchetti as a paid
lobbyist for the company was in January 2021. Seven months later, the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the vaccine candidate as
an investigational new drug, the records confirm. The White House
Counselor’s little brother also earned $80,000 to lobby the
administration on behalf of Pardes Biosciences, which is developing a
therapeutic for COVID-19. Its Investigational New Drug (IND)
application was approved by the FDA in February, the lobbying
disclosures reveal.

Jeff’s firm also made $90,000 from TC Energy (formerly TransCanada),
the company that was developing the Keystone XL pipeline, which was
supposed to carry more than 800,000 barrels of oil daily from Canada
to the U.S. President Donald Trump granted the permit for the project,
but Biden revoked it in his first day as president. TC Energy is
seeking $15 billion in damages from the Biden administration as
compensation for rescinding its permit to build the 1,200-mile
pipeline and it is not entirely clear what Jeff’s role is in the
matter, though he is being generously compensated. Jeff’s lobbying
firm was also paid $50,000 by a tech company, InterDigital, working on
wireless communications and fifth-generation wireless (5G). Four
months before the 2020 election Ricchetti Inc. registered InterDigital
as a client and by September 2021 the company was awarded a $525,000
contract from the Department of Defense (DOD), its first federal deal
in nearly a decade and a half.

The most recent quarterly records also show that a global
semiconductor and display panel manufacturer called Applied Materials
paid Jeff’s firm $60,000. The specific lobbying subject is described
in the documents as “issues related to U.S.-China relations and
potential impact on commercial relationships, including the
manufacture of semiconductor equipment and energy storage and battery
technologies.” Industry publications report that the company, which
owns a subsidiary in China, is expected to benefit from the CHIPs Act
that was recently approved by the Senate to provide $52 billion in
subsidies to build computer chips in the U.S. Other Ricchetti Inc.
earnings recorded in the latest quarterly disclosure include Amazon
($90,000), Pharmaceutical Research and Manufactures of America
($60,000) and General Motors ($60,000). Biden’s election and his
brother’s White House position have clearly paid off for Jeff,
despite the president’s ethics order. An analysis conducted by
Judicial Watch found that in 2021 and 2022, he has signed a firm high
of 15 new clients, compared to: Zero in 2014, two in 2015, two in
2016, zero in 2017, zero in 2018 and just one client in 2019.
Registration dates for the new clients are all clustered around the
election, according to the records obtained by Judicial Watch.
Until next week,
