The breakthrough infection issue is not an issue of vaccine performance, but one of expectation mismanagement. The majority of vaccines are not designed to prevent infection, or even prevent mild disease, they are designed to address a public health threat.

Every one of the Emergency Use Authorizations for the Covid vaccines specifically stated they prevent Covid 19 infections. Now they are claiming that was never the intent of the vaccines.

And if the vaccines don’t prevent infection, then why does the author say, “ Covid has shone a light on the difficulty of trying to convince people to sacrifice a bit of individualism for the common good. ”

And why do we keep seeing statistics from reputable sources saying the majority of hospitalizations and deaths worldwide are vaccinated people?

Yep, this isn’t a fact-based, objective piece. It’s a propaganda polemic that strays not one inch from the official narrative and refuses to even acknowledge the legitimate concerns of his opponents.

Is this a fact?

I doubt it. One of our regional hospital system posts their covid admissions. Vaccinated admissions have been running between 10% and 20% over the last month

When a colleague throws down his or her principled gauntlet, I usually ask, “Why now?”

Because government was allowed to make this all about politics. Covid/'vaccines' were allowed to become a political football and the game destroyed trust. Science has taken a hit by becoming prostitutes to politics. Scientist and doctors have sullied themselves.

It has been done with Global Warming as well. Most people want to do right by the environment, we're just not willing to accept communism to appease the GW gods. There are too many on their jets flying around telling us we can't use our AC or drive our gas cars.

There are too many who insist we mask up but they almost never do unless a camera is present.

Politicians drag Hollywood trash in on this mess, too. Much of Hollywood are neurotic nutbags willing to do anything for a bone.

Get off your high horse and look around--you guys blew it--the fault, the blown fuse is y'all.

"Covid vaccines are safe and the risks which are associated with vaccination pale in comparison to the risks associated with contracting the disease."

Uh... What? So they're safe, just risky. And they're risky, but safe. Huh?

What does that even mean??

In summary, the vaccines don’t work, but you are a selfish SOB if you don’t take it.

And the focus is ALWAYS on being vaxxed, never on being immune, thus not needing the vax.

Things that make you go hmmmmmm……

The wife of chuck norris went through hell after having an MRI. fDA didnt want to admit the contrast dye was an issue

Before you get an MRI read up on what to do to help try to prevent a problem

You cannot trust what the FDA tells you

Hello, breakthrough infections ARE an issue of vaccine performance. If the vaccine were performing well, there wouldn’t be breakthrough infections.

The majority of vaccines are not designed to prevent infection, or even prevent mild disease, they are designed to address a public health threat.

And if they don’t prevent infection or prevent mild disease, then just how, on God’s green earth, do they address a public health threat???????

"The majority of vaccines are not designed to prevent infection, or even prevent mild disease, they are designed to address a public health threat."

That's a legally-actionable lie. Until a few months ago, the legal definition of a vaccine was a bioactive substance that would confer IMMUNITY from a viral infection:

Why did CDC change its definition for ‘vaccine’?

He didn’t address the reason the FDA did not approve the 3rd jab for everyone, only for high risk groups. Why is that?

“Fauci and other covid cult leaders have lied over and over again for the past 20 months. Why on earth would any sane adult believe them now?”

Exactly. Look at what the puke Falsey said when he got his first JAB (supposedly he got it).

“To have a virus that was brand new, and first recognized, and sequenced in January of 2020, and then in December of 2020 speaking to you today, as we speak, Steve, people are getting vaccine injected into their arms, with a vaccine that’s 94-95% effective against clinical disease, – I mean, that is a historic, unprecedented achievement,” he added.

https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-vaccine-updates-12-14-20/h_959ebc08ff13510ec80807a932934d17

So how are all these reinfections of vaccinated people equating to “94-95% effective against clinical disease”?

Now that these vaxed people are getting sicker than they would have if they had just caught the cold before the vax how’s that “very, very effective against serious disease” workin’ out for them?

The false promises these evil scumbags made about the JAB and what reality has turned out to be should be enough reason for anyone to refuse it now.

This article is published in Forbes Magazine.

Forbes used to be an important Conservative business magazine.

About 10 years ago, 51% of Forbes was sold to a Hong Kong investment group.

There have been multiple complaints from the public and Conservative news media that Forbes has yielded to Chinese pressure to ignore or obfuscate issues that would bring criticism onto the CCP and mainland China.

Obviously, the source of the COVID virus is one of those controversial issues.

This article reads like political propaganda to me.

Let me enlighten the good doctor: people do not like being bullied, not as to vaccinations or as to anything else.

That is EXACTLY what ran through my mind. It looks like the propaganda is ramping up these days.

“The breakthrough infection issue is not an issue of vaccine performance, but one of expectation mismanagement.”

Just as we suspected. It’s not about the infection, it’s about not spinning the lies well enough. “Expectation mismanagement”.

“Numerous women have told me they are thinking about trying to get pregnant,”

Any women with the tiniest scintilla of a thought about getting pregnant in today’s world ... Just wow. How stunningly stupid!!!

All one has to do is look at Israel, the most vaccinated nation on earth (95%). Currently suffering thru record high cases, hospitilazations and deaths. Proof the vaccines do not work. Then look at Uttar Pradesh India (240 million people, that uses ivermectin. Covid is nearly statistically irrelevant.
