Political loser or not, it is now very clear, that hummanity will bear the brunt of our hubris.

Humanity of bearing the brunt of our paranoia.

There are people in vulnerable demographics DYING because of Covid that might not have because they convinced not to get the vaccine by paranoid people stirred by con man like Alex Jones.

And, there are plenty studies documenting the fact the vaccines prevent hospitalizations and death. Including these very recent ones:

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2022/01/studies-covid-vaccines-effective-limited-waning 98% protection against ICU stay, life support

One study, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) COVID-19 Response Team, involved 445 hospitalized COVID-19 patients 12 to 18 years old and 777 uninfected matched controls at 31 hospitals in 23 states from Jul 1 to Oct 25, 2021, after the emergence of the Delta (B1617.2) variant. Seventeen case patients (4%) and 282 controls (36%) had received two doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

Among case patients, 180 (40%) were admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), and 127 (29%) needed life support. Of all ICU patients, only two were fully vaccinated. Overall vaccine effectiveness (VE) against hospitalization was 94% (95% confidence interval [CI], 90 to 96).

Among uninfected controls with COVID-like symptoms, VE was 95% (95% CI, 91 to 97), while it was 94% (95% CI, 89 to 96) among uninfected controls with no symptoms. VE was 98% against ICU admission and 98% against requiring life support. Seven patients died, and 13 required extracorporeal membrane oxygen, all of whom were unvaccinated.

Awww, how cute. You're citing the CDC.

Meanwhile, the vaccine deaths, injuries, and ICU admissions are piling up. But you and CDC say different.

Go figure.
