The most damning article about vaccines yet (Alex Berenson)
Unreported Truths ^ | September 15, 2021 | Alex Berenson

Posted on 09/16/2021 6:40:45 PM PDT by Antoninus

This new piece from Reuters - hardly a outpost of anti-vax fanaticism - should terrify vaccine advocates.

And, honestly, scare the rest of us.

A reminder: Britain has pursued a mass vaccination strategy as aggressively as any country. It approved Pfizer’s vaccine even before the FDA. More than 80% of Britons over 16 are now fully vaccinated.

But Britain is in far worse shape than it was at this time last year, when no one was vaccinated. It is now averaging about 140 deaths a day, roughly 10 times as many as mid-September 2020. And hospitalizations and deaths continue to rise.

That isn’t exactly what the NYT article says.

What the Israeli data show is that a booster can enhance protection for a few weeks in older adults — a result that is unsurprising, experts said, and does not indicate long-term benefit.

“What I would predict will happen is that the immune response to that booster will go up, and then it will contract again,” said Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington in Seattle. “But is that three- to four-month window what we’re trying to accomplish?”

I think the main dispute with the study was that it had limited data over a short period of time and many officials feel the vax distribution needs to be given to the unvaxxed first rather than pushing boosters to all age groups.

On Monday, an international group of scientists, which included the departing F.D.A. officials, decried the push for boosters. In their review, published in The Lancet, the scientists analyzed dozens of studies and concluded that the world would be better served by using vaccine doses to protect the billions of people around the world who remain unvaccinated.

The Israel study:

Why anyone still considers these jabs “safe and effective” is mind numbing.

Because--one billion PSAs repeat the same lie over and over and over and over again....

Brainwashing the masses of homo sapiens is a trivial exercise.

Since we’re talking about the UK, and with all due respect to Berenson, how do we know how many are being killed by vaxxes...and how many are being croaked by the NHS?

This is intentional and heads should roll.

I would say the main point of the study is that the variant in circulation now is sufficiently different than the old vaccine that giving such a failing vaccine to old people as a third shot is throwing away a shot that might protect 30% of those who get it who were never vaccinated.

Of course, this practically means that the older person not getting the third dose is likely to have a really bad infection, if that third shot was truly protective for at least 12 days. Older people need much stronger doses of vaccines for them to work, as we know from special flu shots for the elderly.

I disagree with what you wrote.

You wrote” The important numbers are the rates of covid cases between vaccinated and unvaccinated.” Since most cases are not serious, those are not the important numbers.

Instead, the important numbers are the rates of covid SEVERE CASES and DEATHS between vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Based on data from this summer in Massachusetts, there is no difference in the number of cases between vaccinated and unvaccinated. But the rate of death is about 80% less for those who have been vaccinated.

As a note of caution, that data may possibly be skewed and misleading because of demographic, age, lifestyle, and co-morbidity differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated.

That’s not an unreasonable conclusion.

But that’s a vast right wing conspiracy theory! That’s crazy! It’s all Trump’s fault!

But Methodist in Houston (the Texas Medical Center), and some others are firing front line nurses and doctors who refuse.

Bizarro world, that’s what this is now.

Wow... so much for “informed consent”. If Johns Hopkins “vaccinates” a single human being this way, I hope that person sues the f*ck out of that hospital for violation of Nuremberg and all medical conventions, crimes against humanity, violation of civil rights, etc.

Alex Berenson went on the Tucker Carlson show to talk about a specific topic. Instead he went on a rant about how people should stop wasting their time whining about the election results and Instead concentrate on working with the Biden administration.

Alex is a former NY Times reporter. As with all such types, I don't go to him for every issue. But with COVID, he's been a like a dog with a bone. Great info and very willing to buck the narrative.

Good advice! This is all so evil. But then again, I am grateful that it is being exposed. . .at least some of it.

You FRacebookers need to be really careful here, the MSM #Narrative has finally admitted experimental therapies are ineffective, that will lead US straight to lockdowns in time for the mid-terms.

The #Narrative should be that Delta is overplayed and is already in retreat in Britain and Europe.

"In the U.K., the Delta surge began in mid-May and peaked in mid-July; in the Netherlands, it began at the beginning of July and has already peaked. If the U.S. followed the British trajectory, our Delta surge, which began about a month ago, would peak by September 1"

This paradigm data should soon emerge, meanwhile the MSM are cherry-picking hot delta areas to make it seem like Delta is unconquerable.

That’s what I’m afraid of and I would bet everything I own it’s going to be blamed on a deadly new variant.

And of course, a deadly new variant will terrorize everyone and force more lockdowns, masks and vaxxes.

I plan on being ready for it so I don’t have to go anywhere I absolutely don’t need to.

I have plenty to do around the house that I won’t have to worry about being bored.

I think consensus was to provide a booster for the most vulnerable but not for the healthy majority.

It appears the booster mitigates hospitalizations and deaths concerning the delta variant in breakthrough cases from the abbreviated study. Whether that will carry through long term remains to be seen.
