"The death rate from this virus is .002%."

No, the Infection Fatality Rate of COVID-19 is between 0.65% and 1%. You're off by orders of magnitude.

"Further, now that hysteria is dying down, the real data is showing that people who do catch this virus, and who become quite sick with it (most people do not) the infection is easily treated with the chloroquinolone protocol or Ivermectin."

No, you need to talk to actual ICU physicians treating real patients. They'll laugh at your claims there. The only known effective treatment is monoclonal antibody therapy. That's why President Trump got it when he was in the hospital: because it actually works. They didn't bother giving him Ivermectin or HCQ or colloidal silver or anything else. They gave him monoclonal antibody therapy. But it's not 100%. It's likely closer to around 70%, which is wonderful, but it doesn't beat prevention.

"If you recall, Pres. Trump recovered after 3 days with Remdisvir, yet another medication that leads to rapid and full recovery."

No, he was given Regeneron and he praised it as a "blessing from God".

"So why, in heaven’s name, would you support the administration of an untested vaccine"

It's not untested. Testing began with Phase 1 clinical trials on March 16, 2020. That's well over a year ago. President Trump himself stated that the Pfizer vaccine had passed the "gold standard of safety testing". The three vaccines available in the US today have all gone through full Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials. Over 100,000 participants were in those trials. All of them are safe and effective. President Trump said so himself after looking at the data.

"which has a number of serious and sometimes fatal side effects"

Serious side effects are rare (anywhere from 1 in 90,000 to 1 in 1.1 million depending on which you're talking about). There are zero deaths known to have been caused by any COVID-19 vaccine anywhere in the United States.

“There are zero deaths known to have been caused by any COVID-19 vaccine anywhere in the United States.”

Right...the cause was blood clots...and just because previously people have died directly after receiving the covid is purely anecdotal.

These are not the droids you are looking for...

Meh.

“All of them are safe and effective.”

The CDC also says the vaccines are safe and effective. They do not define “safe” or “effective”.

***

They say some people have no side effects. (That’s a start).
Others have reported common side effects. (That doesn’t sound as safe).
Serious safety problems are rare. (The common side effects must be more common than rare. And there are serious safety problems.)
Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) ... occurring at a rate of about 7 per 1 million women between 18 and 49. (Any deaths? Why are there no figures for the common side effects and the other serious safety problem? (Anaphylaxis).

The CDC continues with “Long-term side effects are unlikely ... Vaccine monitoring has historically shown that side effects generally happen within six weeks of receiving a vaccine dose.” (The vaccines use new technology. How does the history of other vaccines let us conclude that these vaccines will have few to no side effects in the future?)

***

The CDC says the vaccines are effective. They provide links to four studies. These are for Healthcare Personnel, Hospitalized over 65, Essential and Frontline Workers and Residents of Skilled Nursing Facilities. (Are there no studies for the vast majority of adults? How about a study comparing the effectiveness of the vaccine for people with and without antibodies?)

This isn't true. I got two does of the Pfizer vaccine and I've died at least 6 times. It also started connecting me to Bluetooth and recently turned me into a newt. I got better. :)

Seriously, not one side effect from the first. With the 2nd, arm soreness as if I had lifted weights, a slight fever and body aches for about 8 hours.
