There’s a world of difference between enslaved chicom intellectualism and highly motivated Indian patriotism. India is a formidable competitor despite the cultural constraints/conflicts between its various regions. They will easily surpass many of the European welfare states in progress and quality of life in short order. As far as the chicoms, when India decides they are hungry enough, they will have them for lunch, and be hungry a half hour later. A free Chinese people will be the result.

I’m with you. I had (have) high hopes for this vax but we’ve been lied to so much by big Gov’t, I’m not sure I can trust this vax either.

I read the study.

Interesting points of note:

-out of the appx 14,000 shot and placebo people (split evenly), 10 shot and 96 placebo folks came down with virologically confirmed, symptomatic mild, moderate, or severe Covid-19 with an onset at least 7 days after the second dose, for a VE of 90%.

-these trials ran for about three months only. In contrast, 59% of industry-sponsored vaccine clinical trials fail to make it through clinical trials, which on median take 9 years for the ones that make it to approval.

-Solicited systemic adverse events were reportedly more frequently in the vaccine group than in the placebo group after both the first dose (45.7% vs. 36.3%) and the second dose (64.0% vs. 30.0%). While not stated explicitly, these adverse events effectively remove people from society for days, reducing their possible exposure to COVID19.

-The shots don't guard against fatality: Two deaths related to Covid-19 were reported, one in the vaccine group and one in the placebo group. (The death in the vaccine group occurred in a 53-year-old man in whom Covid-19 symptoms developed 7 days after the first dose; he was subsequently admitted to the ICU for treatment of respiratory failure from Covid-19 pneumonia and died 15 days after vaccine administration. The death in the placebo group occurred in a 61-year-old man who was hospitalized 24 days after the first dose; the participant died 4 weeks later after complications from Covid-19 pneumonia and sepsis.)

So, net-net-net, these shots lower your chance of contracting COVID19 for up to three months after the second injection. However, it doesn't lower your risk of dying from this bug, you likely need boosters forever, they make you sicker initially than the placebo group, and we have zero long-term clinical trial data to see if maybe these shots are non-efficacious in the long-run...parenthetically such trials accompany all legitimately-tested vaccines but statistically there is a 59% chance that these shots would fail a kosher long-term clinical trial that should take about nine years if we really put safety first.

I'll say it again: if people are in a high morbidity cohort and feel like they need to get these shots, I will never criticize them. Heck, even if they AREN'T in such a cluster I won't say a thing-Personal health is a personal matter.

But the decision to avoid shots, when put in this light. doesn't seem crazy.

Get a load of this...

Looks like the UK's Deep State may be blinking. Look what made it into print. If you get the chance, read the entire article and the comments, too. Whoa...

Hi.

A vaccine made from the deactivated Rona virus.

Brilliant.

Gotta understand that their “90% efficacy” equates to about an actual 1% potential reduction...

Report: CDC overcounts millions of vaccinations

Yup, cause they are trying to pressure the holdouts into giving in since “everyone else has had it”.

Problem is, that line of reasoning doesn’t work on me. I don’t care if “everyone else” anything. I’m not “everyone else”.

Deep State underestimated us.

Unfortunately, I don’t think they will make that mistake again.

I wondered where Novavax went. It just seemed to drop off of the radar a few weeks ago almost like an intentional media blackout.

Did they at least try to define an adequate primary series?

They still works against severe disease and ultimately death…

This has been a strawman argument from the pro-vaxxers since the beginning. “Get the vaccine and you won’t get as sick and/or die”. The dirty little secret is that most people — by far — who got COVID didn’t get that sick or die. Many had to even been told that they had COVID unknowingly…

This vaccine will never be approved. Your guess will be as good as mine as to what excuse will be given for denial.

It has been almost a year since the trial of this vaccine.

If I could know more I might be inclined to consider it. That is quite a difference in agreeing to take it.

This write-up seems more credible than others I have seen. Short and to the point without a lot of wiggle words and intent to baffle with BS.
