The Latest Data Makes the Vaccine Mandate Push Seem All the More Stupid
Red State ^ | 11/05/2021 | Scott Hounsell

Posted on 11/05/2021 7:54:53 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The latest data on vaccination rates as compared to the current spread in states shows that vaccines are less effective than government claims. Arguments about bodily autonomy aside, what right should the government have to mandate a vaccine which does not show to be as effective as either the manufacturer or the government claim?

As I have stated many times here on RedState, I am fully vaccinated. This isn’t some ivory tower virtue signaling, rather just a statement of fact, so you know from where I am coming. I don’t judge the unvaccinated or advocate actively for people to get vaccinated. I chose to early on as a result of having two 70+-year-old parents, who I visit often. Yet, as time has gone on, and reading the data that has come out regarding those vaccines, I don’t necessarily find them dangerous as much as I do less effective than they are advertised to be.

This belief has been complicated by the government instituting various vaccine mandates on the local, state, and federal levels. Regardless of how I feel about the vaccine, or my choice to be vaccinated, the decision to get vaccinated should remain a personal one, or at the very most, one made between the individual and their doctor. The moment that government began extending their mask mandates, creating new vaccine mandates, and discussing perpetuity of those until which time more people are vaccinated, I returned to do what I do best: Telling the Government to pound sand. When just recently I was asked if I wanted to get the booster, I replied, “No, and that will continue to be ‘no’ as long as the government removes others’ choices in whether or not to be vaccinated at all.”

How could we tell if vaccines were as effective in reducing cases as they claim? Well, as a particular state’s vaccination rate rose, it would certainly lead to a lower new case rate. Additionally, those states with lower vaccination rates would have a higher new case rate than states with higher vaccination rates. This isn’t rocket science. A higher vaccination rate should be directly correlated to a lower number of new cases.

What states have the highest rates of vaccination? Right now, Vermont has the highest at 71.5%, followed by Rhode Island at 71.2% and Connecticut at 70.9%. Now for a reference, scientists have believed that 60-70% immunity levels are needed to achieve “herd immunity,” placing all three of these states at the top of places we could expect COVID numbers to be falling substantially. It would not have just suddenly stopped the spread in those states, but it would have slowed significantly as they approached that 70% number.

Except it didn’t. Vermont now has a new case rate of 84 cases per 100,000 residents, placing it either at the top or near the top of worst in the country. Rhode Island has 32 cases per 100,000 residents and Connecticut has 12.3 cases per 100,000 residents. In other words, if this were truly correlated, those new case numbers 1) should be much more consistent, and 2) ascending as the states decreased in vaccination rate. Neither of those things is happening.

I’m sure if we compare those numbers to the lowest of vaccinated states, we would see a different story, right? Well no.

The states with the lowest vaccination rates (listed from last and increasing) are West Virginia, Idaho, and Wyoming. West Virginia has a vaccination rate of 41.1%, Idaho is at 44.1%, and Wyoming is at 44.2% For reference, Connecticut has a vaccination rate 26.7% higher than that of Wyoming, and Vermont has a vaccination rate 30.4% higher than that of West Virginia. Their new case numbers should reflect that right? Well, no. In fact, West Virginia’s new case numbers are just 52 new cases per 100,000, 32 cases below that of Vermont. The highest vaccinated state has 32 more new cases per capita than does the lowest vaccinated state. While this seems like we can close the book on the discussion about vaccine effectiveness, Idaho and Wyoming both have new case rates at 52 and 94 per 100,000 residents respectively. Wyoming is higher than Vermont. Does this mean there’s some correlation we are missing?

Again, no. North Dakota has only a 47.7% vaccination rate, but just 80 new cases per 100,000 residents. Louisiana, a 47.9% vaccination rate, and 13 new cases per 100,000 residents. Tennessee? 47.9% vaccination rate to 18 new cases per 100,000 residents. If the vaccines were as effective as they suggest, these states should be significantly worse.

Well with as horrible as the media has been telling us Florida is, shouldn’t we be able to find out just how horrible of a vaccination rate they have? The vaccination rate in Florida is actually much higher than you’d probably expect, at 59%, 17.9% higher than West Virginia, and 12.5% lower than Vermont. Right in the middle, so where do you think Florida’s current new case rate fell? It is just a mere 7 new cases per 100,000 residents. How does that stack up against a mandate pushing tyrant of a big state? Say….. Gavin Newsom? Even with all the mandates and vaccine giveaways, Newsom has had, California only has a vaccination rate 2.6% higher than that of Florida. Newsom has also been very heavy-handed with mask and social distancing restrictions, so one could expect their new case number to be at least somewhere near Florida’s, right? Wrong. California has 21 new cases per 100,000 residents currently, 4 times higher than Florida.

What does this all mean? Vaccines certainly do not currently correlate to lower new case numbers. That doesn’t mean there are not some medical benefits to the vaccines, but then those medical benefits should be a personal choice and not one mandated by government. One can hope, though, that as more people begin to understand there is no correlation, more will begin to stand up to fight against these silly mandates.

The same is true even at the county level, and across 68 other countries; shown in a peer reviewed epidemiology article

Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States

Joe’s using OSHA to jam the jab by Jan 4. But by then the case rates could tumble by 2/3.

Maine is 70.33% “vaccinated.” Not me.

In 2020, BEFORE the so-called vaccines were available, there were fewer than 200 new cases per day.

Yesterday, it was 660+ with seven deaths.

Well my son, who works in the Hospital, has a head cold so they tested him for Covid yesterday, even though he had the P-Shots, and sent him home until the results are back. But he won’t lose pay.

So am in the air mode. He says no access and pains nor headaches, just a stuffed up head. So we’ll see. And he was going to visit this weekend, now cancelled.

According to data compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics and reported by the CDC, in September 2021, there were 60,119 deaths involving COVID in the U.S. A year earlier (i.e., September 2020), at which time no one in the U.S. had been vaccinated, there were 19,139 such deaths.

One might reasonably expect, if the vaccines worked to reduce death, that deaths from COVID would have decreased. Instead, even though millions in this country have been vaccinated, COVID deaths have increased -- i.e., by some 214% in September 2021, compared to the same month a year earlier.

scientists have believed that 60-70% immunity levels are needed to achieve “herd immunity,”

herd immunity relies on a closed herd. Introduce more unvaccinated (vacationers/travelers) and the local herd immunity goes down proportionately and the infection rate rises. If a town of 10,000 has 1000 unvaccinated, and 5,000 unvaccinated tourists come thru to see the leaves falling, stopping for gas and eats and souvenirs, and say 10 are presymptomatic contageous, the’flash of time’ herd risk for that town’s unvaccinated is doubled. When all the tourists and lookieloos go home, the risk goes back down. It’s for this same reason that SoCal is a neverending story of infection. Putting both the unvaccinated and the at-risk-for-breakthroughs at higher risk than if the population remained static.

Vermont has a case rate of 84 per 100,000. So you’d have to go past 1000 people to find 1 case. And how many cases are nothingburgers? Based on the fear the media stokes, you’d think 3 in 5 people were dropping dead on the street from COVID. The media promotes such unreality. I remember a few years back seeing a poll in which a good number of people thought 25-50 percent of the population is gay based on TV’s obsession with the subject.

Since the average line slopes upward= higher % vaxxed = more vax cases.

Israel, one of the most vaxxed countries has the worse COVID numbers on the graph above despite the politicians promises that heavily vaxxed means the END of COVID. Seems the opposite is true.

The number of Israel COVID deaths is higher in 2021 than in the unvaxxxed 2020. Vaxxes were started at the beginning of 2021 which corresponds with the increase of the # of deaths. To make sure to correct this increase, the idiots playing government officials started the boosters at the end of July. As can be seen, the boosters were followed by the next increase in the number of deaths.

If it's NOT clear to you yet, we'll let the idiots vaxxxx more people which will result in more deaths. Then maybe you'll finally realize the vaxxes really are poison death shots.

After decades in healthcare… funny thing is I grew to dread the flu vax release dates. Inevitably within a month.. we are in full blown sick season. Year, after year, after cotton picking year. The vax bullies say it’s coincidence, that our “scientist” are so good at predicting the very timeframe which flu starts. They are so smart that my experiential data is discarded.

I have to laugh at that trend line on that scatter of data.

I wonder if there is a genetic thing going on in Israel. Or perhaps when China engineered the virus they REALLY wanted to get rid of the Jews.

Imo the virus and the vaxx are both designed to spread the spike protein which is the actual bio weapon. The vaxx continues the distribution of the spike protein by making hosts a reservoir for the virus and new, mutant strains (ADE). This sets up a positive feedback loop as the vaxxed become a long term reservoir for the virus, a biolab for new strains and a distribution point for new strains.

The vaxx super-charges the distribution of the spike protein toxin.
