1. I agree the vaccines did not prevent universally transmission or disease. I did observe and continue to hold the position that vaccines prevented adverse disease and death to an incredibly high level as it pertains to delta strain.
2. As I have said, I no longer recommend vaccination to people of low risk factor. Omicron is a highly transmissible not dangerous disease. It’s the dreaded summer cold, which ironically have always been corona virus species.
3. I do hold that the vaccinations are safe. The data presented and hyperbole of clot shots are not borne out as clinically significant. The hospital is not full of thromboembolic events and strokes across 260 million people.
You are one of the first to ask my opinion
I think vaccines for us through an unusual genetic shift which causss a pandemic. I am open to the fact that the shift may have been artificially created. My guess is it was gain of function research that is clearly forbidden that for out. I think Fauci funded it and is culpable
I think the disease has now become endemic and essentially not dangerous at all. I am not seeing high numbers of deaths daily related to LRI and ARDS
I think that the great thing to come out of this was monoclonal antibody treatments. They did not seem to be objectionable to those who were wary of vaccination so provided s good and reasonable treatment that covid specific and incredibly efficacious.
I think that they gross politicization of this whole process with the instant blathering of people using social media is what has driven this. I think people will gravitate to what they want to believe nor what the data show
I think it’s over. It was a particularly harsh pandemic but it has followed all the rules of pandemics. The question is can we learn lessons from it or are we simply going to remain committed to division
Again thanks for your question.
Okay, I’ve been watching this thread with bemusement, but this one always cracks me up. We’ve heard ad infinitum about how these “vaccines” keep people from getting “as sick”.
Exactly what the hell does that mean?
After it became obvious that these “vaccines” weren’t vaccines, the argument turned to them being merely treatments. You won’t get “as sick” if you get them Fauci and his minions would say. Never once, do they quantify what that means.
“As sick” as what?
“As sick” you won’t die?
“As sick” you won’t end up in the hospital?
As a matter of fact, most people who got Covid — by far — didn’t get “as sick” as those, vaccinated or not. It’s a meaningless term that is bandied about to attempt to desperately give some meaning to why people should throw away common sense and jump into the pharma line.
You need to have a better argument than not getting “as sick”. And thus far, I haven’t seen that, from you, or any of the other pharma/CDC sycophants on this page or in the public realm…
Like that's ever stopped you from bloviating your uninformed opinion. Trying to get you to stop would be like standing on the tracks of the stupid train as it bears down on you.

@ 391 Thank you for a fair response. No ‘push back’ from me tonight - I am tired. Take care.
From what I've read, monoclonal antibodies are often tested on fetal-derived cell lines, i.e., during development of the monoclonal antibody itself, and not jut long after they are in use, cf. the BS the govt. flunkies gave about Tums begin tested on fetal cell lines despite their being invented in 1928...
Have you seen anyone push back on monoclonals over that?
Because I will, for my own personal treatment.
