The CDC hits a new low
Unreported Truths ^ | October 30, 2021 | Alex Berenson

Posted on 10/30/2021 9:27:19 AM PDT by Antoninus

(I didn’t think it was possible either.)

But yesterday the Centers for Disease Control, America’s not-at-all-politicized public health agency, released a new study purporting to show that vaccination protects against Covid infection better than natural immunity. Of course, a wave of stories about the benefits of mRNA vaccination followed.

To do this, the CDC used some magic statistical analysis to turn inside raw data that actually showed almost four times as many fully vaccinated people being hospitalized with Covid as those with natural immunity - and FIFTEEN TIMES as many over the summer.

I kid you not.

Further, the study runs contrary to a much larger paper from Israeli researchers in August.

As my two-year-old likes to say, How dey do dat?

Well, the Israeli study drew on a meaningful dataset in a meaningful way to reach meaningful conclusions. It counted infections (and hospitalizations) in a large group of previously infected people against an equally large and balanced group of vaccinated people, then made moderate adjustments for clearly defined risk factors.

It found that vaccinated people were 13 times as likely to be infected - and 7 times as likely to be hospitalized - as unvaccinated people with natural immunity.

I am excerpting this because it's a long article that includes images. Also, everyone should be checking in on Alex's substack regularly. It's a goldmine of anti-narrative information and that's what got him banned on Twitter.

Thanks.

I saw that claim that vaccines were better than “natural immunity” here yesterday and it’s obviously a lie.

I figured it was some twisted data manipulation and purposely bad design but I wasn’t going to go read it to see.

They hear and obey...Fauci is giving them orders. I expect Fauci to come out within 24 hrs with absolute proof (cough cough) of these amazing new stats.

No lie is too big for the CDC,if it gutters the agenda.

This is in response to this article which appeared yesterday. Like so many of our institutions, the CDC has become a propaganda tool of the hard Left.

Covid vaccines provide stronger immunity than past infection, CDC study finds

We are told that the vax protection “wanes” over time. Yes, it does. More so than the seasonal flu vax. They never mention memory cells when talking about covid vax, so I don’t know if they are created or not.

We are being fed only the information that the corrupt cdc wants us to have.

Last night, here in Roanoke, the second man in a WEEK that my daughter knows dropped dead suddenly. Late 30’s, early 40’s, perfectly healthy and happy men. The one last night was a beloved doctor at the local hospital.

We know not the day nor the hour. But God knows. Trust in Him and be ready.

I am thinking that there may be some merit to the understanding that the narrow immunization of the “vaccine” may prevent robust immunity from developing in some later infections of the “vaccinated”.

Right now, I don’t think the CDC wants to count infections among the “vaccinated”. They will want to, however, when these infections are shown to confer the weaker immunity which may result from the “vaccine”. They will try to use this, and their arbitrary, and daily changed, definition of “vaccinated” to show weak immunity from infection recovery.

1) Stop worshipping at the altar of natural immunity. It’s an unnatural artificial virus. All studies like this run afoul of the question “was the person already infected”. PCR has false positives. A previous infection and “recovery” may never have happened.

2) This study was not presented well. The correct question is . . . how did both groups do vs unvaccinated-with-no-previous infection?

3) Israeli reports seem to often have flaws. Just like CDC reports. So stop quoting some Israeli study as rebuttal. It’s not.

Alex is an invaluable resource.

I read last night that a new variant, A30, I believe, has mutations to the spike that allows it to bypass all current mRNA vaccines. Detected on two continents so far, per the article. If accurate it’s likely the next wave.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

We have hammered this first nail into millions of us. What happens when they come out with a brand new nail?

Just read an article saying they don’t know what level of antibodies is protective. So if you had it and have antibodies, they’re going to say...yeh...you have anitbodies...Am I protected then?....Hell, we don’t know.

Hell, we don’t know.

Our public health establishment has been saying that in their quiet voice for some time now.
