More media pundits and doctors are continuing to renege on their support for the Covid-19 vaccines. The latest retraction comes from Ben Shapiro, conservative pundit and founder of The Daily Wire.
Yesterday Shapiro bitterly made these retractions after touting the effectiveness and necessity of getting vaccinated, during an episode of The Ben Shapiro Show titled, “Ep. 1596 – They Lied About Covid, And Young People Paid The Price.”
It is now perfectly clear that we were lied to. And we were lied to at a very high level and from very, very early on by both the vaccine companies, in terms of the ability of the vaccine to prevent transmission, and … by our politicians who apparently knew better.
Shapiro lamented
One of the pieces of evidence to support Shapiro’s sentiment was the recent admission by Pfizer executive Janine Small, who explicitly said that their mRNA Covid vaccines were never once tested to see if they prevent transmission, even though the media and politicians assured everyone that they did, and was the core reason to get vaccinated as to prevent or greatly reduce transmission:
Shapiro also cited a recent article courtesy of The Washington Post that also made a similar admission, claiming that the Biden administration already knew over a year ago that the shots did not prevent transmission, but concealed this information from the public.
It turns out the Biden White House knew this and promoted the lie anyway. This is truly amazing stuff.
[When the health bodies and companies says something that align with the government, who] is issuing laws to get you to do a thing, and it turns out these thing are lies … people’s distrust in the institution is going to skyrocket.Shapiro added
Shapiro explained that the vaccine campaign hinged on two main tenets: one being that there was “robust data on the lowering of the risk of death — particularly if you were old and vulnerable — from baseline Covid,” and added that this was a “fairly strong” case since the great majority of the population was already living in poor health. The second point of evidence was “largely on the basis of Pfizer claims and Moderna claims,” that their experimental mRNA shots would indeed hinder transmission.
Shapiro explained that the media ate that up and proliferated these empty claims.
That was the data that most of us used … because that was the available data.
Shapiro explained
However, as The Blaze pointed out, this is the very same data Shapiro relied on and perpetuated to his audience.
A handful of tweets made by Shapiro, for example, demonstrate him gleaning from these talking points: advocating that people need to get vaccinated, whilst boasting about how he and his family also got all the necessary doses.
Getting vaxxed essentially protects you from the virus. Remaining unvaxxed makes you vulnerable. Make your choice.
He said on August 2, 2021
Get vaxxed. I did. My wife did. My parents did.
If you’re not vaxxed and you get sick, that’s on you.
Ben said on July 20th, 2021
The problem with the entire strategy in getting the unvaxxed to vaxx is that it is reliant on a false premise: that you can worry the unvaxxed into vaxxing. This is generally untrue.
Right now, the only people worried about covid, unfortunately, are people who are vaxxed and shouldn’t be worried; the unvaxxed are generally unworried, which is why they are unvaxxed.
September 2nd, 2021
Here’s the plan to end the pandemic: (1) If you’re vulnerable, get vaxxed. (2) If you’re symptomatic, go home. (3) Stop testing the asymptomatic.
Live your life. Enjoy Christmas. That’s the whole plan.There is no alternative plan. So this is what is going to happen. Because if you decide to mass test the asymptomatic and send them home, you will shut down the economy, the schools, and everything else. It will be March 2020 by default.
Shapiro posted on December 22nd, 2021
[I am] Double-vaxxed. My wife is triple. My parents are triple.Shapiro said in a response to a question on February 2nd, 2022
Moreover, beyond the tweets Shapiro made, and was not cited by The Blaze, Shapiro reaffirmed the need for people to get vaccinated last year when he was a guest on the Drink’n Bros Studios show, where he again confirmed that he did get vaccinated.
If you’re above 65 you should 100% get the vaccine. If you’re above 65 your risk factor from the vaccine is waaay the hell lower than your risk factor from Covid, no question.
If you’re above the age of 20, uh, then it is pretty clear that the vaccines are significantly safer than getting actual Covid in terms of side effects.
I’m very pro-vaccine. I’ve been very pro-vaccine since the beginning. I’ve urged people to get the vaccine if they have any risk factors at all, and a huge percentage of the American population is fat. A huge percentage is unhealthy. A huge percentage is older. So, you know, I certainly not anti-vaccine.
[…] I’m vaccinated, which means that my chances of dying from Covid are now about the same as my dying from a lightning strike, so I am not really particularly worried about it […]I’m a very ‘follow-the-science-guy:’ I’m not vaccine skeptical.
I’ve been telling people to vax from day one. I think it’s actually really important, based on your age and based on your preexisting health conditions, that vaccinate; and I think that the vaccines are basically – I think they’re a scientific miracle. We developed them inside of a year, they probably saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the United States […]
The WinePress reported last year that Ben’s sister, Abagail – another conservative commentator, and fashion blogger – admitted that she had a miscarriage not long after insinuating that she had received a Covid-19 vaccine.

Notwithstanding Shapiro concluded this on his recent podcast:
We were lied to by everyone. We were lied to by the scientists. We were lied to by Pfizer. We were lied to by the government. We were lied to by the Biden administration … I don’t like being lied to.
He also said that “everybody who’s involved in this sort of stuff” needs to be thrown out of office, and those in the private sector “need to be fired.”
[…] There may need to be actual criminal prosecutions if you are disseminating false health information to people on the basis of zero evidence.
Knowing what he claims to now know, Shapiro, contemplating if he shouldn’t’ve gotten the shot, said “maybe not.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
Proverbs 11:9
WE?! Whose this “WE” talk? There is no “we” here: I for one opposed this garbage and did not buy into this malarkey – even before the first state locked down here in the U.S., per since-deleted videos that YouTube scrubbed along with the rest of my channel. I am not here to brag, but the point is, I did not buy into the narrative then, and my resolve only strengthened as the weeks went by and the lies became even dumber.
But this egotistical airhead and with all of his “knowledge” – that this annoying, Neo-Con, spoiled brat, now wants to lump us all together in the same vacuum of lies and deceit.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3:13
But now this lying narcissist wants to play the victim and whine that “I don’t like being lied to.” Uh, YOU sir, lied to millions of people and ultimately influenced them to get this death shot, which will now royally screw them up for the rest of their lives if not outright kill them within the next few years, or already has; and now we’re are just supposed excuse your fervor and shilling for big-pharma? How much did they pay you, Ben? Or when he laments that “the media” perpetuated these lies – uh, Ben, in case you forgot: you ARE the media!
And where is your condemnation of Trump – you know, the self-promoted “father of the vaccine” and creator of the “Trumpcine;” that he routinely gushes about how he was the one who, via “Operation Warp Speed,” and got these things manufactured in the first place?!
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
Proverbs 17:4
I have a saying: “Liars love being lied to.” And that is on full display here.
Regulars of The WP may recall that in early-Spring I had warned readers that they would start to see more and more “healthcare professionals” and pundits retract their support for the shot and draconian restrictions, asking for forgiveness and becoming some sort of an ally in ‘standing-up’ for the suppressed voices whose lives are now destroyed by them. Well, now it’s happening a ton, and will continue this year and especially next year. Don’t listen to them or forgive them.
Also, it should be noted that people like Ben still are not even acknowledging all the people that have died and are majorly ill from these shots: he’s only whining about the lack of transmission prevention, for a virus that has yet to be proven even exists.
If you know anything about history, then you know that in these communist nations and regimes – Soviet Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba – that once the communist power has full and complete supremacy, they kill-off everyone that helped get them there, reneging all that “equitable” talk that was the driving message that helped entice their support groups. The same is happening now, and, as Joseph Stalin would call them, the “useful idiots” are now being disposed of.
[7] Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? [8] Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. Job 4:7-8
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Vaccine Fanboyisim has been an major issue for decades now, it’s was only a matter of time until these Vaccine Fanboys promoted an obviously dangerous Vaccine like the Covid Vaccine and have to beg for forgiveness. Of course I highly doubt we’ll have a truly independent investigation on all vaccines to see if any of them were even effective much less safe to administer, though I’m guessing it’d be a pretty big negative on both questions given all that I’ve seen with this Covid situation.
And I agree, don’t forgive these former vaccine fanboys in the mainstream media, or at least withhold your forgiveness until they’ve served a lengthy prison sentence. Some things can be forgiven with a simple apology and a handshake. This is not one of those.
Hmmm… Wonder how long it will be before he drops dead during a broadcast?
I still do not know who this Ben Shapiro person is and why what he ever said matters, although I have heard his name in passing fairly frequently. Ah, the absolute bliss of having a silent television set.
It is very obvious that Ben Shapiro is a sell out. He sold true conservatives out. He has blood on his hands, money in his pockets.
