After advocating for COVID-19 vaccination for over a year, Ben Shapiro says he was deceived: 'We were lied to by everyone'
The Blaze ^ | October 25,2022 | Joseph Mackinnon

Ben Shapiro has long been a strong advocate for the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, believing that taking them was a socially responsible measure that might save someone's grandma and even slow or prevent the spread of the virus. On Tuesday, Shapiro stated that, like many others, he had been deceived about the efficacy of the vaccines, particularly with regard to their ability to prevent viral transmission.

Shapiro's admission about transmission

On Tuesday's episode of "The Ben Shapiro Show," Shapiro stated, "It is now perfectly clear that we were lied to. And we were lied to at a very high level and from very, very early on by both the vaccine companies, in terms of the ability of the vaccine to prevent transmission, and ... by our politicians who apparently knew better."

Shapiro's admission and sense of betrayal comes, in part, after Pfizer executive Janine Small stated on Oct. 10 that the company did not know if the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine it had developed with BioNTech would prevent viral transmission before the drug went on the market.

It always amazed me that even very smart people were fooled into getting this experimental jab.

Glad that he came around at least.

“very smart people” aren’t just now figuring it out it was a scam.

His sister got the vaccine and had a miscarriage.
Maybe coincidence, maybe not.

I don’t understand how so many got the shot.
Coronaviruses and flu viruses mutate and circle the globe forever.

Isn’t this the same fake conservative who, in 2016, said that he “calculated that it was better for ‘conservatives’ for HIllary to win than for Trump to win”?

I can’t believe anyone who calls themselves a republican or a conservative listens to anything this POS says.

That efficacy rate was always known, between absolute and relative risk. Also, it was intuitively obvious that all sorts of COVID-vaccinated people got COVID, and that the CDC and Fauci shifted from saying it could stop infection to it can reduce symptoms of COVID, but you still had an active infection and shared it with everyone around you, just like a non-vaccinated person, but maybe with fewer sneezes.

Ben, you are stupid.

“Shapiro stated that, like many others, he had been deceived ...”

Tell me you’re a gullible sucker without telling me you’re a gullible sucker.

Completely. Just an actor making money off conservatives, in my opinion.

He forgot Big Med.

They may not have been the ones doing the actual jabbing, buy they’ve been hand in nitrile glove with Big Pharma and Deep State.

“I don’t understand how so many got the shot.”

a) Most people are intellectually lazy and don’t want to have to do their thinking for themselves.

b) Don’t underestimate the power of social pressure.

Yes we were lied to but her also surrendered the use of his common sense, logic, and reason. Now he wants to blame someone else for his own foolishness

I got the vaccine. I’m around my 91 year old mom a lot. I’m also high risk.

I was wrong. I didn’t realize how political and greedy our medical establishment is.

Given his generally skeptical mind I don’t know why he thought they would not lie in this instance. Is he not a critical thinker?

Why suddenly and completely trust the government?

I am a Trump supporter, but he didn’t help I guess. He was pushing the quick “vaccine” rollout. Perhaps he made many conservatives less skeptical.

I still appreciate that Trump opposed economic lockdown and mandated shots. But I wish he had not invested in the idea that a ramrod fast shot for people was a good idea. It takes decades to develop good, safe, effective shots for a reason. Sometimes they never get developed. We still have AIDS. and the common cold.

Someone posted the ‘pyramid of intellect’ a week or so ago. Anyone have it? Those at the pinnacle were above PhD’s for realizing they should not take the vax and stuck to their guns. 🚫😷💉

Some were forced into getting the shot, against their will, because their employers and “elected” leaders forced them!

Absolute cruelty, and absolute evil.

When i read my copy of the Constitution, it says we have the right to peaceably assemble.. it does not say we have the right to peaceably assemble “unless there is a covid pandemic”... etc

The government had ZERO right to take away our freedoms based on a cold virus. The Democrat Governors / Secs of State had ZERO right to rig the election by sending out millions of mail in ballots, illegaly, in violation of the Constitution without state legislatures’ approval. These people MUST be held accountable for what they have done or this country is finished.

Lots of FReepers do the same when they continually proclaim there is no point in voting and it’s all rigged and Dem and Rep are the same animal.

I am all for exposing voter fraud but in the meantime VOTE and get all likeminded people to vote with you.

Ben Shapiro may have been fooled but many FReepers (myself included) were not.
