Many everyday Americans probably believe that the COVID vaccines will keep them from getting COVID. That’s not true and never has been true.
The vaccines do not prevent you from being infected with the COVID virus. They do not keep you from spreading the COVID virus.
There have been many cases of so-called “breakthrough” infections where double-vaxxed citizens get COVID anyway. That’s not uncommon.
There’s even new evidence that double-vaxxed individuals who get COVID will build up huge viral loads in their noses and sinuses, causing them to become super-spreaders and infect others.
Do the vaccines do anything?
Yes, they are effective at reducing severe symptoms of COVID.
They also reduce the death rate among those who get infected.
That’s advantageous for the most vulnerable, including those over 70 years old and those suffering from obesity, emphysema, diabetes and other conditions closely associated with fatalities due to COVID.
That said, there’s almost no reason for children, teenagers and otherwise healthy individuals in their 20s or even 30s to take the vaccine.
Among all individuals, vaccinated and unvaccinated, the global survival rate is 99.2%. Among those under 70, the survival rate is 99.97%. The survival rate for children is 99.995%.
The data indicate that the most vaccinated countries have the most cases and deaths per million people, while the least vaccinated countries have the fewest cases and deaths per million people.
Israel is providing a useful case study in the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of vaccines.
Israel is one of the most heavily vaxxed countries in the world, with over 60% of the population fully vaccinated and almost 100% of the elderly. But now Israel is experiencing a massive increase in infections, including cases among the fully vaxxed.
The government has also determined that the vaccines wear off after six months or less and is recommending a third shot for everyone. The problem, of course, is that the third dose will wear off too, so a fourth, fifth or sixth dose will be needed.
And with every new dose comes a new risk of dangerous side effects, including the small but real possibility of death. The vaccinated will be getting boosters for the rest of their lives, and the virus still won’t go away.
Meanwhile, effective treatments, including ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, zinc and other inexpensive measures, are being suppressed by the medical establishment.
How many people died because they were denied access to these therapies, especially early on in the disease cycle when treatment is more effective?
It’s impossible to say, but they could potentially run into the hundreds of thousands.
A new study by the U.K.’s National Health Service and a Canadian biotech company revealed that a nitric oxide nasal spray slashed SARS-CoV-2 viral load by 95% within 24 hours and 99% within 72 hours.
If further trials pan out, early treatment with a similar cheap therapeutic could cut serious cases down to almost nothing.
But it doesn’t matter. The medical establishment will continue pushing the narrative that only universal vaccination will stop the virus.
The media continue to hyperventilate about “cases” but ignore the fact that death rates have declined since January. When one accounts for the 38 million Americans who have survived COVID and already have antibodies, then herd immunity is already here.
Data indicate that people who had COVID between January and February of 2021 and recovered have 13 times more immunity to the Delta variant than vaccines provide.
We’re at the stage where we can learn to live with COVID as we do with many other endemic diseases such as the seasonal flu. There’s no reason for fear.
But the public health authorities insist that these people with natural immunity must also be vaccinated.
It’s not “science.”
The zero-COVID policies many governments have pursued are completely unrealistic. The virus goes where it wants. The only real solutions are patience, herd immunity and effective therapies.
The time has come to stop living in fear and start treating COVID as an endemic disease that will be with us for a long time, like the seasonal flu or diabetes. Unfortunately, government authorities continue to insist they can control the situation with orders and mandates.
But the evidence is clear that masks don’t work and lockdowns don’t work (but they do destroy economies — most lost sales were permanent losses, not temporary losses). Lockdowns don’t work to stop the spread of the virus because they keep people indoors where the virus can spread more easily.
Outdoor activity is essential for fresh air, mental and physical health and exercise.
People will find a way to gather and interact even with lockdown rules. This means that lockdowns impose all of the economic costs with few of the supposed public health benefits.
This was recognized in a paper in 2006 by D.A. Henderson, the greatest virologist and epidemiologist of the 20th century who led the successful effort to eradicate smallpox and won the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom.
He said lockdowns don’t work and provided detailed reasons why. Unfortunately, his award-winning work was ignored by politicians eager to appear to be doing something.
Health officials should never have been put in charge of the economy. That was a huge mistake by Trump, and it’s been made worse by Biden.
Immunologists saw some benefits from lockdowns, but these would have happened anyway because each viral outbreak runs a predictable eight–10-week course. What the experts ignored were the costs in terms of deaths from suicide, excessive alcohol consumption, drug abuse, domestic violence, depression, anxiety and other dysfunctional behaviors.
The benefits of public health policy were minimal, but the economic, social and psychological costs were great and are still being paid. Meanwhile, the push for universal vaccination continues, despite the evidence that it’s not nearly as effective and necessary as the government claimed.
Society is rapidly turning into a two-tier culture of the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
On Wall Street, where vaccination rates are as high as 90% in some firms, the unvaccinated are being treated like lepers. One investment banker said, “If you’re someone who is not vaccinated on Wall Street, you’re considered a loser.”
Even firms that do not require full vaccination to return to work are forcing the unvaccinated to undergo weekly testing, sit apart from colleagues and wear masks while others are maskless.
These rules are stupid, what might be called Vaccine Voodoo.
Again, vaccination doesn’t stop infection. It doesn’t stop the spread. A fully vaccinated person can catch COVID and spread it to others. The unvaccinated have as much to fear in terms of catching the disease from the vaccinated as the other way around.
There are ample reasons not to receive the vaccination, including being among the 38 million Americans who have recovered from COVID and have stronger antibody protection than the vaccinated.
But they’re being treated like lepers too. This vaccination discrimination will do nothing to slow the spread of the disease, but it will do a lot to tear society apart. Investors can properly understand vaccination discrimination as one more drag on productivity and economic growth.
But governments will keep imposing worthless mandates, and economies will continue on a trajectory of slow growth.
Nice to see you post this!
RE: Nice to see you post this!
As I said before, I am neither pro nor anti-vax. I just want to get closer to the truth.
They don’t keep you from hospitalization, or death, either.
And....now the FRAUDci’s are saying you need a THIRD shot...and, Pfizer says you need TWO pills/day, everyday, to stay ‘protected’.....for something that’s 99.8% survivable.
A note to those with persistent Anosmia (loss of smell):
My son-in-law recently contracted the virus. His ‘illness’ lasted a mere few days, but he opted for the 2 weeks to stay at home (long story, irrelevant).
But his job as LEO poses problems for persistent loss of smell (he can’t even smell his colognes), so I did a deep dive into the olfactory region, formed a hypothesis and sent him a suggestion to recover his sense of smell.
Since the mods are irrationally & inconsistently censoring vanities regarding the virus, treatments, etc., this will be my only comment on the matter (to the detriment of others).
If you read this and would like the full details of my hypothesis, my recommendations to the SiL (which I sent to him under an hour ago) and the results of his self-treatment (presuming he undertakes my recommendations), FReepmail me with a request.
Note: I will not respond to open forum queries/comments regarding my censorship comment, nor to my hypothesis in general (it’s a complicated medical hypothesis which warrants more words than a mere comment and recent history being a guideline, it would likely just get the zot).
If this comment ends up getting the zot, your loss.
I’ve had anosmia since 1981 due to a TBI.
I would give nearly anything to have it back.
It’s more of a hell than most would imagine.
Do the vaccines do anything????
Yes, they are effective at reducing severe symptoms of COVID.
They also reduce the death rate among those who get infected.
The article is generous in granting these concessions. There is no way of knowing whether the vaccine mitigated the symptoms or if the patient simply contacted a milder infection, a weaker strain, etc.
Otherwise an informative article.
The Pfizer “vaccine” is a farce.
It prevents ZERO and makes almost all sick in some way shape or form. Some are permanently SICK.
Some DIE.
It’s a money making scheme and a way to decrease the population.
They haven’t even sifted through the huge pile of adverse reactions-FAR FROM IT!
If you’ e had 2 jabs of this VIRAL m-RNA and feel just sand, consider yourself extremely lucky. Others have had serious adverse symptoms for MONTHS, gotten blood clots in various parts of their organ systems and bled to death. Some are paralyzed. Some now have dementia. Some can’t breath. Some have permanent heart damage.
* * *
They say the flu shot also helps in preventing those infected with the Rona from getting severe symptoms. So why not take the flu shot instead of the experimental, DNA tampering, spike protein laden, Big Pharma $how them the money jabs?
Ping.
Given that booster shots will be on going those who have been vaxed have signed up for a prescription subscription service for the foreseeable future. A great economic model for the Shamacecutical industry. WHO woulda thought!?
Near the bottom of the page on this site, there’s a video I hope everyone has seen, or will see. Please watch Dr. Ardis’ interview in the video below.
“Yes, they are effective at reducing severe symptoms of COVID.“
Soooo… you can be “vaccinated”, have reduced symptoms, therefore, not realizing that you’re CARRYING the virus around to other people..
And when your friends and family catch it, you can blame the “un-vaxxed” for it all. …because CNN told you so..
