“Posted for the 12,000th time”.
First I’ve seen of this.
“If you’re afraid of the vaccines, don’t get vaccinated. Otherwise, stop wasting everyone else’s time obsessing over them”.
If you don’t want to see the truth, don’t read these threads.
“73% of the country has been vaxxed, like it or not. So, the issue is a political loser”.
That’s not how those who have had adverse/harmful/long term damage and the families of those who have died look at it.
That it is the truth is laughable. The the vast majority of studies showing that the vaccines prevent deaths and hospitalizations. And, that is precisely why Donald Trump has encouraged citizens to get the vaccines. It is wise advise if someone is a demographic that leaves them vulnerable to Covid.
We live in age where anyone can find a study that will tell them what they want to hear.

A trio of new studies yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine report encouraging results on the effectiveness and durability of protection of COVID-19 vaccines against hospitalization and death, including teens.
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.
