Long before the vast majority of Omicron cases were among the vaccinated, and before CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted in early October that the Covid-19 vaccine does not prevent transmission, public officials, MSM pundits, and coffee shop doctors across the land were spouting insidious propaganda designed to shame people into taking the jab.
That this is a 'pandemic of the unvaccinated.'
The phrase implies that the vaccine was a panacea against Covid-19, and anyone who refused to take it wasn't just part of the problem... but an irresponsible idiot who doesn't follow the science.
In a late November note, The Lancet published a letter from Günter Kampf, a prolific researcher at the University of Griefswald in Germany.
In it, Kampf absolutely excoriates those calling this a "pandemic of the unvaccinated," amid "increasing evidence that vaccinated individuals continue to have a relevant role in transmission."
Read below:
In the USA and Germany, high-level officials have used the term pandemic of the unvaccinated, suggesting that people who have been vaccinated are not relevant in the epidemiology of COVID-19. Officials’ use of this phrase might have encouraged one scientist to claim that “the unvaccinated threaten the vaccinated for COVID-19”. But this view is far too simple.
There is increasing evidence that vaccinated individuals continue to have a relevant role in transmission. In Massachusetts, USA, a total of 469 new COVID-19 cases were detected during various events in July, 2021, and 346 (74%) of these cases were in people who were fully or partly vaccinated, 274 (79%) of whom were symptomatic. Cycle threshold values were similarly low between people who were fully vaccinated (median 22·8) and people who were unvaccinated, not fully vaccinated, or whose vaccination status was unknown (median 21·5), indicating a high viral load even among people who were fully vaccinated.
In the USA, a total of 10 262 COVID-19 cases were reported in vaccinated people by April 30, 2021, of whom 2725 (26·6%) were asymptomatic, 995 (9·7%) were hospitalised, and 160 (1·6%) died.
In Germany, 55·4% of symptomatic COVID-19 cases in patients aged 60 years or older were in fully vaccinated individuals, and this proportion is increasing each week. In Münster, Germany, new cases of COVID-19 occurred in at least 85 (22%) of 380 people who were fully vaccinated or who had recovered from COVID-19 and who attended a nightclub.
People who are vaccinated have a lower risk of severe disease but are still a relevant part of the pandemic. It is therefore wrong and dangerous to speak of a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Historically, both the USA and Germany have engendered negative experiences by stigmatising parts of the population for their skin colour or religion. I call on high-level officials and scientists to stop the inappropriate stigmatisation of unvaccinated people, who include our patients, colleagues, and other fellow citizens, and to put extra effort into bringing society together.

I was fortunate. I was able to turn my back on a vaccine mandate and take another job. Not everyone has that choice. If it comes down to keeping a roof overhead and food on the table for your family... That's mighty powerful motivation.
It makes the coercion all the more disgusting. The people promulgating the mandates should be ashamed. Hopefully someday there will be Nuremberg style trials and they will have to answer for their crimes. Yes, I do believe the mandates are a crime.
PING
Which can only mean the vaxxes DO NOT work and that they cpactually compromise the immune system to make the vaxxed even more vulnerable to Covid.
If they worked, there would be no danger to the vaxxed from the purebloods and the vaxxed would have no more risk of catching it from someone unvaxxed than someone who was vaxxed.
Natural immunity doesn’t count in this “science-based” administration.
I call it the “Open Borders Pandemic”. If they were serious about the spread of covid, they would stop the flow of illegal aliens into the US.
Some day those behind this evil will be held accountable and wish that the worst they faced was Nuremberg type trials.
What’s coming after being in God’s court is going to be far worse than anything mankind can dish out.
Mind you, I wish to see justice done now, but since I don’t have a lot of say in the matter, I will have to wait.
This wasn’t the Lancet but a letter that appeared in The Lancet.
Biden’s Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals’ Incentive Payments for COVID-19
Let's hear it for our de facto NHS!
Clap for carers!
I have the same low regard for the Lancet that some people here have for the New York Times.
The same regard for Big Med.
Right now used car dealers are held in higher esteem.
Along with crackhead hookers.
Correct. However the Lancet as a part of the media uses its editorial stance to choose what to publish and what not to publish.
...and worse than that. As the vax just reduces severe symptoms but doesn’t stop contraction, everyone that is jabbed are walking petri dishes to create the next variant.
The vaccine creates the variants.
So I guess your point is that the dam is breaking.
Indeed.
Bttt
That’s right and yet they keep blaming the unvaxxed for causing the variants.
That’s not the Lancet. That’s a limited-hangout letter to the Lancet.
Yes, but the question is... does the Lancet publish EVERY letter sent to it? If not, why did they allow this letter to be published?
