Data from the United Kingdom indicates that while those that have been fully vaccinated have been less likely to catch COVID they are more likely to die of it. Since February of this year there have been 47,008 cases of COVID among the fully-vaccinated and 151,054 cases among the unvaccinated. Of the fully-vaccinated cases, 402 have died (0.86%). Of the unvaccinated cases 253 have died (0.17%). The vaccinated are five times more likely to die of COVID if they catch the disease than the unvaccinated are. These statistics would seem to cast doubt on the assertion that public health requires that everyone be vaccinated.
COVID expert Dr. Anthony Fauci urged that "we should disregard this anomalous data from one small country. There quite easily might be a unique characteristic among the infected population that is muddling the scientifically obvious conclusion that being vaccinated is better than being unvaccinated. The leaders of virtually every nation in the world are eager to have their populations vaccinated. Government medical officials all over the world are unanimous that their populations must get vaccinated. Some have even gone so far as to go door-to-door vaccinating those unwilling to voluntarily submit to being vaccinated. In Australia they're building internment camps for those who refuse to be vaccinated. These decisive steps wouldn't be taken if we weren't certain of the health benefits of being vaccinated."
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ken), an "unofficial" medical practitioner, says "the UK data undermine the poorly thought-out assertions of Dr. Fauci and the politicians using his advice to trample individual freedom. The claim that the vaccines save lives is contradicted by these data. Coercing people to take a drug that appears to increase the likelihood they will die if infected by COVID is not justified."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ken) disagreed with Paul, saying "if it were up to me I'd allow employers and school officials decide whether to force employees or students to get vaccinated. Individuals aren't medically qualified to determine whether they need to get vaccinated. Persons in positions of authority like corporate CEOs, school boards, and university administrators have easier access to expert opinions and can make a more informed decision that better serves the general welfare. Sen. Paul should not be permitted to challenge the recommendations of those, like Dr. Fauci whose job it is to guard the public health. Without his and other discordant voices confusing the issue we would be much further along toward the goal of achieving a 100% vaccination rate and maybe not have to resort to the overtly coercive measures needed o achieve it."
In related news, a study done by the Oxford University Clinical Research Group found that "fully-vaccinated healthcare workers carry a coronavirus load 251 times larger than than unvaccinated individuals." the study's authors speculated that "while vaccination does seem to moderate the symptoms of infection in the individuals inoculated, it also appears to transforms them into presymptomatic superspreaders. This phenomenon may be the source of the shocking post-vaccination surges in heavily vaccinated populations globally."

Perfect example of how you can twist statistics to deceive people.
Who is more likely to die from covid? the very young or the very old? the old of course.
who is more likely to die from covid, those with many pre-existing conditions or the healthy? which of that group i more likely to be vaccinated?
Who is more likely to be vaccinated, the very young or the very old: the old, very young can’t get vaccinated, and the stats have show us the young have very little to fear from the disease in the first place.
So the young and healthy who are not vaccinated are more likely to die than the older, less healthy vaccinated people - shocking news.
Why do to the anti-science folks keep posting stupid articles like this? Because they don’t have any actual scientifically rigorous ones to use to prove their point - because there are none - so they need to lie and make stuff up.
This is satire.

Actually, this set of statistics from the UK shows the vaccinated dying at a higher rate than the unvaccinated.
From the BBC, Covid vaccine: How many people in the UK have been vaccinated so far?:
"So far, nearly 48 million people have had a first vaccine dose - 88% of over-16s - and about 42 million - 78% of over-16s - have had both doses".
If anyone can make sense of all the data, here you go.
So is this news or satire? I tend to avoid satire here as it anniys me.
You twist stats and even support outright lies, yet, here you are trying to twist the stats of those against your pro vaccine propaganda.
The lying propagandist qwerty is trying to claim those vaccinated that ate dying are because they are in high risk groups anyway.
What the little idiot fails to realize is that she is proving the vaccine fails to work.
There’s five of them working today, the pro vaxxers that is.
>>What the little idiot fails to realize is that she is proving the vaccine fails to work.
Let me guess, 10th grade education at most? - can’t read basic statistics? I guess when you can’t dispute the facts, attack the messenger.
>>You twist stats and even support outright lies, yet, here you are trying to twist the stats of those against your pro vaccine propaganda.
Didn’t twist a single fact, facts are facts - if they are twisted, they are no longer facts.
I get it, you don’t understand basic math or statistics, sorry, but life can be hard for ignorant people like yourself.
Simply put, looking at only the deaths associated with the over 50 cohort, indeed significantly more vaccinated elders died with/of Covid than did unvaccinated elders.
That fact is clear and undeniable.
What all that actually means is subject to pure conjecture, but it is quite clear that the so-called “vaccine” is no magic bullet for preventing infection, severe illness or death.
To wade into actual cause, contributing factors, statistically relevant comparisons between specific cohorts, and the effectivity of the so-called “vaccine” would require as yet unpublished controlled studies of such cohorts. I find it telling that to date no such studies exist.
If the so-called “vaccine” were truly so effective, given the sizable population of vaxed people, publishing studies of just how wonderfully the vaccine performs would be a no-brainer “win” for the pro vaccine crowd.
Instead we get the shop worn rebuke “Just shut up and get your vax because we say so.”
Remarkably similar to the “No Election Fraud” crowd saying “Just shut up and accept the 2020election results ... because we say so!”
The vaccines have mixed results. They seem to provide a degree of protection that wanes over time as the virus mutates. Given this pattern plus their historically huge side-effects, it is clear that (1) the vaccines are very unsafe for many recipients and (2) the vaccines will never be able to eliminate this virus.
COVID will be around for the foreseeable future. Fortunately, the fatality rate for this virus is below 1% for the vast majority of the population, even without treatment. If Fauci and his crowd had not gone all out to discourage alternative therapies like hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin the fatality rate would have been even lower—probably below 0.1% for the vast majority of the population.
The hysteria drummed up by the government and the media is way out of proportion to the risk posed by COVID. But it has been a great aid to unprecedented tyrannical measures carried out by power mad government officials and their corporate allies.
Another fine/scary column, John. Thanks much.
BTW, I do love it when a little spat breaks out here in FR over (alleged) satire.
Just had a conversation with my neighbor. Nice guy and a good friend. Unfortunately, he is terrified by MSM news, believes all reported Covid deaths are actually deaths FEOM Covid rather that WITH Covid; believes we unvaxed are a threat to him because of so-called "Delta" ... never mind that if the vax worked he wouldn't have a problem and won't even try to learn anything on his own (he relies on the so-called "experts".
THAT is the REAL problem!!
