America has hit a roadblock in the coronavirus pandemic.
A hard, very dangerous and completely unnecessary roadblock.
Put bluntly, a lot of deluded, ill-informed, shamefully scare-mongered, or simply complacent Americans have got it into their heads that either the covid vaccines are somehow more dangerous than covid itself, or the virus isn't serious enough to warrant protection from it.
Some of these sceptics believe the insane conspiracy-theory that the US Government is using vaccines to plant microchips in their heads to control their minds. (Don't laugh: a recent Economist/YouGov poll revealed that 20% of Americans really do suspect this.)
Many more, tens of millions of people across the United States, are hesitant to get jabbed for all manner of other reasons ranging from doubts about the vaccine's efficacy, to a fear they impair fertility, damage pregnancy, alter DNA, magnetize you, or even actively help transmit the virus.
These unsubstantiated theories have been fuelled by anti-vaxxer whack-jobs online, and especially on social media.
And they have sadly begun to have a very real and deadly influence, as I can personally attest.
I've just had covid, the Delta variant, despite being fully vaccinated with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine.
It was an unpleasant experience and I felt quite sick, as sick as I've felt from any illness, but I never came close to being hospitalized or dying.
So, the vaccine worked: it stopped me getting seriously ill.
But when I revealed this on Twitter and Instagram, and urged people to get jabbed, I was promptly bombarded with an astonishing amount of utterly insane and incredibly vitriolic responses from the anti-vaxxer brigade – many of them in America.

The worldwide Marxist movement, led by the USSA, is on the march and virtually nothing is being done to stop it...
Hmmm...
Is it only a matter of time before a USSA-WHO partnership takes total control of this “emergency” and the equivalent of “blue helmets” are everywhere enforcing new draconian UN laws all across the globe?
Maybe this tinfoil hat I’m wearing is not functioning very well...
It is NOT a vaccine!!!!!
It is an injection.
Do your home work!
There will never be a formal investigation into Event 201, Bill Gates, or the World Economic Forum wargamming how to shut the world down in response to a global pandemic (South American Pig Virus) and then putting it into practice 6 months later.
Jane Fonda calls “Covid” Satan’s gift to the Democrats.
Bill Maher said that the only way Democrats could win is if Americans suffered a recession.
Get Trump!
At all costs the globalists wanted him out of office. By any means necessary.
Meanwhile the Tennessee health department has announced this week that more than 1,000 FULLY VACCINATED people have the virus, hundreds of them are hospitalized and dozens of those have already died...
Gee Joe, how can that have happened ???
True. “Just shut up and take it” is not science.
The single most disgusting thing about covid is the leftist worldview negating honesty in the medical and scientific conversation.
These government-only-way-of-doing-business zealots refuse to acknowledge immunity conferred naturally. If that was an honest conversation we would never read absolute trash such as this. The left is using willful ignorance and fear as a weapon to push top-down left-leaning government only answers and that is their usual ploy for everything nowadays.
People exercising freedom can not destroy freedom.
Yeah, Piers, because YOU took the mrna mix and STILL got sick, but didn’t die, proves only that you are a two dimensional thinker and narcissist. Spare me your childish anecdotes.
>> Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine
He needs to get vaxxed again.
Europeans decided that wasn’t “the one”
His remark is akin to:
A man stands on the corner looking up at the sky.
Another man comes by and asks, “What are you doing?”
Man 1 says “I’m guarding our town against flying pink elephants!”
Man 2 replies “There aren’t any flying pink elephants!”
Man 1 triumphantly responds “See what a good job I’m doing?”
In other words, the results of a pre-conceived belief can most certainly be justified, just like this man did when he said the vaxx protected him from getting seriously ill.
Pink elephants indeed.
Indeed. I think it is very hard to be sure that this thing is doing anything at all. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. Maybe herd immunity deserves the credit instead. But it does seem safe to say that this medicine has side effects, and they can be pretty bad.
I'm staying away.
“I’ve just had covid, the Delta variant, despite being fully vaccinated with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine... but I never came close to being hospitalized or dying...So, the vaccine worked: it stopped me getting seriously ill.”
Someone would have to explore 1984 to find a description of that logic.
What about the tens of millions of people who got covid and got over it in the same fashion and were never vaccinated?
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
Close the damn border. Leave the non vaccinated alone.
No, we just know about Ivermectin, and have it in our medicine cabinets.
The largest group (according to an MIT study) refusing inoculation are middle aged middle class well educated white noire easter folks
And since he blamed the Internet and didn't blame the main stream news media, he's clearly suggesting the main stream media is telling the truth.
Here’s the thing. I know there were doubters about the vaccine when Trump was President, and, in fact the current V.P. bragged about having her doubts. Yet the real resistance has happened since Biden took office. It only seemed like this became a real problem when Americans did not reach Biden’s highly touted goal. It appears we’ve let the old guy down.
Could it be that many Americans don’t believe a thing that this administration has to say about anything, let alone our personal health choices.
Also Piers seems to ignore the resistance to government health ‘mandates’ that are occurring in his own country as well as France, Italy, and Australia. Are they also “deluded, ill-informed, shamefully scare-mongered, or simply complacent...”?
Full disclosure: my wife and I got what we referred to as the Trump vaccine as soon as it was available to us—both being geezers.
It isn’t a vaccine
