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 was the mandates. You could not or could barely travel, work, go to to school, visit loved ones — without proof.

Many, and I don’t blame them, took the shot because they would have otherwise had to leave mom alone in the nursing home, lose the job that was providing for all their dependents, or jettison the educational program they have invested their lives into achieving.

You still can’t enter a hospital in SF without proof of shot. Your wife could be in the ER after a car accident and you can’t go in to see her. It’s purely criminal.

Nor was I. Early on I refused to get the jab until someone could explain to me exactly what the side effects were in 5, 10 years.

No one could, so I took the stance I wasn’t going to risk anything.

The dude’s a shill.

If he’s really so smart and so conservative, he should have encountered plenty of evidence two friggin’ years ago.

“he had been deceived”

Ben, like so many others, you wanted to be deceived. You wanted to lord it over others to comply. You ignored the easy-to-understand, readily available information. Apparently covidism acts as your religion... your proclaimed religion apparently doesn’t cut it. Maybe you should rethink things.

Likely so.

If he’s honest, he come to the same conclusion about the 2020 elections. He was likely told he’d be banned (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, lecture circuit, etc) if he did, and he caved.

Smart guy, his wife is a doctor.

But, can he not read? I'm just some dumb schmuck living in the country north of the lakes and I knew something smelled about this from the start.

Welcome to the party, Ben.

The people behind this, government and private, need to be held accountable for this travesty on free people who were forced to believe government and self-interested parties. They all should be put in prison without any possibility of parole, IMO.

The Bible says in Revelation 18:23…for by thy sorceries (in Hebrew that word is pharmakia) we’re all nations deceived. I think that passage has been fulfilled.

What’s really strange is the people who should know better...that is people in health care...are the ones who are most adamant about vaccines and masks.

If you try to explain that, for instance, the mesh size on a mask is 500 nanometers and the virus is 100 nanometers in diameter they will not listen.

It doesn’t matter if you have been looking at small objects through an electron microscope for 25 years. You are stupid and need to obey the authorities.

You have to wear your mask in a healthcare setting.

Then many of these people will go to the grocery or hardware store without a mask, as if the virus does not hang out at these locations.

Ben was anti-Trump. He still is. He also summarily dismissed Dinesh D’Souza 2000 mules. He is more in the mold of Bush and Cheney and the rest if the swamp.

Very smart people are some of the most that fall for mass formation psychosis. I think they trust those who they think are smart like themselves and totally miss having any common sense and skepticism.

“It was the mandates.”

I don’t think that’s purely it. The mandates came later, as they were attempting to force the “holdouts” to take the shot. But if more people had just refused the shot in the first place, the mandates would never have happened. They only thought they could get away with a mandate because a majority of society had already caved.

Nearly the entire medical profession (among others) beclowned themselves and showed the world what a bunch of unprincipled hacks they are from day one of this scam.
