Beware the elusive vaccine: And note, I am not an anti-vaxxer

Life will never return to normal until we have The Vaccine. So say the experts, with Tony Fauci leading the charge. (That fact alone should give anyone pause.)

There are multiple problems with respect to a coronavirus vaccine. (Full disclosure: I’m not an anti-vaxxer).

First, coronaviruses have been around for a long time, yet we’ve never been able to develop a vaccine for any of them. Why should this go ‘round be any different? So, when we hear Fauci be confident we’ll have a vaccine (and by early next year, no less), I have to wonder.

Then, there are concerns about efficacy.

Since the “experts” continue to say that we don’t know how long people who have antibodies will be immune to the virus, the same uncertainty would apply to antibody response to a vaccine. (here, here, here, here)

In addition, if seasonal flu vaccines are any guide, efficacy could range from 10% to 60%, with an average rate of effectiveness over the past ten years being about 42%. So far, from what the “experts” have said, the coronavirus is fairly stable with very little mutation, so that could be a helpful trait with respect to a vaccine.

Another factor to consider is those involved in vaccine development that raise suspicion regarding motive and financial incentive. Some prominent names include. Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, and the World Health Organization – a triad worthy of scrutiny and skepticism.

There is also the question of whether enough vaccine could be manufactured to make a difference. “Experts” have various opinions on the matter. (Gee, what a surprise.)

I am not an “anti vaxxer”.

However:

I have never had the flu vaccine and never had a serious flu illness, ever. But I have relatives that have the flu vaccine, religiously, every year, and every year have a serious flu related URI.

The way you get real immunities to viruses is when your immune system overcomes them on its own. For the vast majority of flu victims, that is good enough, as getting the flu for the vast majority is not a death sentence.

There will be a vaccine. It’s effectiveness could approach zero, but there will be a vaccine. This vaccine will be expensive, and recommended for every person on the planet. The covid-19 virus will recede, and eventually herd immunity will render it an annoyance, not a major threat.

Meanwhile, those behind the “vaccine” will take credit, and make unimaginable stacks of cash. And American, though freed, will continue to wear masks, douse themselves in purell, and wet their pants if they get too close to a stranger. Liberties surrendered will never be fully regained.

Ever wonder why no one challenged any of these unconstitutional orders in court?
Epstein didn’t kill himself.

A QUESTION
Each season we are told that the flue vaccine contains a defense against 3 or 4 strains of virus that may or may not be the villain for that year. The villain changes every year. Why isn’t the shot built up each year, adding new strains in as they are identified? If it means that ‘the flu shot’ becomes a series of two, three or four shots, why not? Why do we put up with a 10% effective single shot? Could someone ask the all-knowing Bill Gates and also ask a real scientist who can give a real answer?

I'm no fan of Robert Kennedy Jr but I learned a lot from the interview he did about vaccines. The thing that troubles me the most is the blanket immunity congress gave pharm companies that make vaccines. In 1986 congress made them immune to lawsuits if their vaccines killed people
. Since then the number of mandated vaccines has exploded. Look at the corona virus vaccine they gave to 35,000 Philippine kids a few years ago. I think 600 of them died. I don't trust any of these people to put our well being over profits.

I’ve not been on the anti-vax bandwagon either. I also don’t see a Coronavirus vaccine as the path out of this situation. The odds of developing a safe and effective vaccine in any reasonable time are not great. I also don’t trust those pushing it. Our bodies evolved to fight viruses and they do it very well. Our populations have a long history of developing herd immunity as various viruses waxed and waned within the population. We have interrupted this normal process with an unprecedented shutdown. Initially we didn’t know much about the novel virus, so caution was, in my opinion, warranted. We know much more now. It is less dangerous and more prevalent than we initially believed. Permitting the population to develop immunity is a biologically sound strategy which has served us well over many, many generations.
