Covid is dangerous, but rarely.
So rare that all the new normal culture is unnecessary. But all along, the new normal tyranny is creeping in, because the over-caution, lies, and misplaced fear.
Rare: The placebo set (arm) had 9 serious cases out of 21,600 subjects in the 6-month controlled Pfizer trial. That’s a 0.04% chance of hospitalization. This is mirrors in other studies.
Mild covid cases are not dangerous. No one cared this much about mild cold cases or asymptomatic cases ever before in history.
“Covid is dangerous, but rarely.”
Over 600,000 Americans killed - more than by combat in WWII, and in a shorter timeframe.
“in the 6-month controlled Pfizer trial”
That is not a measure of how dangerous COVID is - it is simply to compare vaccinated to unvaccinated under the same conditions, and measure the vaccine protective effect. Current numbers of COVID cases will vary from time to time, and from place to place. The Winter surge came with much higher case numbers than were occurring during the Pfizer trial period, for example.
Ultimately, the virus would eventually make its way through nearly the whole population, so an individual’s chance of getting exposed is not the real question. What is important is how much protection a vaccine can provide when exposed, and how safely - that is what trials are designed to quantify. And they measured the vaccines (especially Pfizer and Moderna) to be highly effective - better than most vaccines.
“Mild covid cases are not dangerous.”
Of course not, by definition. Serious cases of COVID are dangerous. Fatal cases of COVID are dangerous.
ICU capacity across the USA was strained by COVID. That is not some routine occurrence.
So now your claim is that the COVID vaccines are not vaccines?
Absurd.
It is NOT a vaccine. It has not been proven to fulfill the dictionary definition I posted, and the Phaes 1 trials as they documented, did not and could not even try to prove that.
Nor did your own words, in that same post, match that dictionary definition.
“any preparation used as a preventive inoculation to confer immunity against a specific disease”
These COVID-19 vaccines are exactly that - and regulated as such by all the Governments on Earth.
America is preventively inoculating against the specific disease of COVID-19, about a million times a day.
It is amazing to me that someone could seriously argue that these are not vaccines. It is patently absurd.
“In doing so (calling officially authorized vaccines “vaccines”), you contribute to the ongoing media lies and increasing govt and corporate tyranny. Your avatar is (unwittingly?) a tool of the media and an enemy of a free republic.”
That reminds me of the scene from the movie Animal House, Where, having exhausted all other options, the Fraternity members claim that the charges against them are the equivalent of bad-mouthing America, and walk out.
Even your beloved, trusted almighty government backs me up - there is no proof that they confer immunity. Never has been, never can be.

•“Does it prevent infection and transmission? We do not know whether the vaccine will prevent infection and protect against onward transmission. Immunity persists for several months, but the full duration is not yet known. These important questions are being studied.”
One final point - You said “regulated as such by all the Governments on Earth”. This is your problem in one phrase. You state this as if you’re ok with it, and trust them, during these times? Do you expect any of us on FR to think you’re not a tool of the coming New Normal tyranny?
