Tucker's Vaccine Skepticism
American Thinker ^ | 8 May, 2021 | Marion DS Dreyfus

Posted on 05/08/2021 4:50:54 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Following a program devoted to a discussion of the “other side” of vaccination, Tucker Carlson came in for a slew of slams, one of which, by Brian Stelter for CNN Business, was titled “Tucker Carlson’s Fox News colleagues call out his dangerous antivaccine rhetoric.”

Carlson’s actual program on reactions, adverse events, various complications including deaths was based on VAERS, a data reporting service.

Trending on Twitter, 7 May, was this:

VAERS and Yellow Card databases show unverified reports of COVID-19 vaccine-related side effects and deaths that can be submitted by anyone, according to the CDC and fact checkers.

VAERS, a standard for doctors and organizations seeking reliable data on adverse events, including deaths, stands for Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. Even though it has been jointly used for 30 years to monitor post-licensure safety of drugs by both the CDC and the FDA, is not 100% foolproof, in that some adverse events are not reported, thus not included in their database.

All reports are “passive” to the system, neutrally submitted, and are then evaluated via a variety of methodologies and measures by the CDC and the FDA after whatever drug has hit the market. The public is cautioned on relying on the data’s predictive or retrospective reliability: You still won’t know for sure that a particular set of adverse events were “caused” by a particular market entity.

In terms of some figures that are already established, according to VAERS: There are over 4,100 dead in the U.S. from the shots, over 8,000 dead in Europe from the same vaccines, and more than 3,300 dead in Israel contiguous to the jabs in the arm. Worldwide, the data say, there are somewhere between 30,000-35,000 dead reported from the inoculations, or shortly thereafter.

Thanks for your message - very eye opening. It’s just so sad that in other countries, doctors are routinely giving out ivermectin to anyone diagnosed with covid-19, whereas here, you have to go through legal channels to get it...

The best spin I can put on this - and I don’t think I even want to give them this benefit of the doubt - is that “they” decided that universal vaccination was the only way to contain the pandemic, and that no other alternatives could be discussed, because it would give people reason *not* to take the vaccine. They decided what is best for us, and noone, not even doctors, have any right to question them.

Needless to say, this is not how a free and democratic republic is supposed to operate.

—> Many people that got the shots are old or have a medical problem, and they die not from the shot but because their body conks out.

Exactly why +90% of “covid deaths” were just deaths.

"Almost no one is being calm and realistic. Emotions are running everything and everyone."

It seems that way, when we read Internet discussions. But the vast majority of the more analytical, calm people is more quiet and not as compelled to speak. Hysterical talk from an occasional individual in my locale is met with a calm smile and a nod of false agreement from most people, and the subject is changed.

“Tabulations of cause-of-death statistics are based solely on the underlying cause of death. The underlying cause is defined by WHO as the disease or injury that initiated the train of events leading directly to death, or the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced the fatal injury. The underlying cause is selected from the conditions entered by the physician in the cause-of-death section of the death certificate. When more than one cause or condition is entered by the physician, the underlying cause is determined by the sequence of conditions on the certificate, the provisions of ICD, and associated selection rules and modifications.”

The CDC revised how deaths were counted just this week this week.

5% were corona deaths
The rest averaged 4 commorbidities.

We seem incapable of having a serious look at the cost versus benefit analysis like real adults. Almost no one is being calm and realistic.

Correct. However from a vaccine hesitancy standpoint, it is clear why there is no discussion. Here are the reasons:

1. Everyone is being told only vaccines can save us for a disease that is .2% deadly
2. Working Therapeutics have been withheld and banned
3. COVID deaths have been inflated
4. Vaccine reactions have been downplayed
5. We are not allowed to discuss these data problems!? If we do, We are called antivaxxers and flat earthers
6. They are experimental vaccines treated as though they are approved
7. With absolutely NO discussion, we are progressing to vaccine passports and vaccine requirements for work?!?

Sheep bleat on the way to slaughter. Does that mean they are emotional?

My experience with a visit to the ER after testing positive for CV was in the word my kids like to use, MEH. They didn’t care, even though they told me I had the glass lung pneumonia. I had to involve an advocate to force them to give me a broad spectrum antibiotic, but they took my 02 levels and said go home. They did give me the breathing tool that measures how much air you can draw, to exercise my lungs. This was in late December 2020.

I heard on the radio today about a Catholic church which has already or is planning to have two sections in their church. One part for people who do not want to social distance or wear masks and another section for people who wanted to wear masks and social distance. That way people could choose which part they wish to sit in.

This is exactly how things should’ve been done from very close to the beginning of the pandemic. Americans are freedom loving people. We understand that there are risks. to many actions, such as driving and flying. We arehowever, usually better informed about the risk levels than the government has allowed us to be about C-virus.
