Comedian Gabriel Iglesias Tests Positive for COVID-19 Despite Being Vaccinated
New York Post ^ | July 16, 2021 | Jessica Bennett

Comedian Gabriel Iglesias has been forced to cancel an upcoming show after testing positive for COVID-19 — despite being fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.

He announced the news via social media with a video titled, “Announcement I didn’t want to make on my bday.”

“Unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19. I made sure that I got tested by two different types of tests and they both came back positive,” the comic shared Thursday on his 45th birthday.

People should do themselves a solid and read up on the history of vaccines. They’re rarely 99% or more effective and many don’t even prevent infection instead only strengthening the body’s immunoresponse to the infection making it far less likely that the patient will have an adverse outcome.

The polio vaccine for instance - arguably one of the most successful vaccines in the history of vaccinations - was ‘only’ 80%-90% effective against paralytic polio. But, even in cases where the vaccine allowed infection, the vast majority of those vaccinated who still became ill, were not paralyzed. Eventually, the disease died out because vaccination rates were so high there weren’t enough hosts for the virus to thrive.

If we had PCR tests back in the day, people would have freaked out just as they’re freaking out now as some would have tested positive even though they were vaccinated.

“Some say herd immunity comes when about 80% are immune.”

Thats determined by the R-naught (R0)

https://plus.maths.org/content/maths-minute-r0-and-herd-immunity

“So, to achieve herd immunity we need to make sure that at least a proportion of 1-1/R_0 of the population is immune. For an R_0 of 2.5, the higher end of the estimates for COVID-19, this means that we need to get at least a proportion of 1-1/2.5 = 0.6 of the population immune. This translates to at least 60%.

“..Fauci ought to be put in prison for his “gain of function” crap when he figured it was worth risking a pandemic to do that Dr Mengel research. How evil can you get ...and now he has the gall to go on TV and try to tell us what to do instead of hiding in shame....”

In a sane world, the little commie SOB would be decked out in a gorgeous prison-orange jumpsuit and locked up in a solitary-confinement cell, while patiently awaiting his death penalty sentence for treason, mass murder and crimes against humanity.
A rabbit turd out in the woods has more credibility than that useless POS.

My first question which I couldn’t find an answer to was....when did he get the injection?

This is not a normal vaccine, it is an experimental injection of which we do not have long term data for safety or effectiveness.

The number that was being touted by fauxci and company forever, for herd immunity, is 70%.

Of course they also touted only 15 days to knock this out.

That goes exactly against he historical science of the established definitions of “vaccines”, “immunity” - bythe cdc’s own data page.

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/imz-basics.htm

From the cdc page:

Immunization: The Basics

Definition of Terms
Let’s start by defining several basic terms:

Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.

Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.

Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

You know they deliberately misused the pcr test on testing people for covid, yes? Way more cycles than it should have been run, yes?

You also know that with the polio vax some formulations actually caused people to develop polio, yes? Even with Bill Gates polio vax in india and africa it caused tens of thousands to develop polio.

So, you’re saying the world would have been better off without the polio vaccine? That’s a take, I guess.

Yes, there were some formulations of the early vaccine that were counter-productive. I think the ‘Cutter Lab’ batches were particularly troubled. Vaccines were, of course, in their infancy in the 1950s. Even today, some vaccines that use a weakened live virus (attenuated) can cause symptoms of the target disease...because it’s the target disease, only weakened. But, those incidents are incredibly rare.

With respect to the Bill Gates conspiracy theory, no, tens of thousands of kids aren’t paralyzed in India and Africa due to polio eradication efforts, paid for by Bill Gates or anyone else.

Vaccines have generally been so incredibly effective, people have lost all sight of what life was like before vaccine technology existed. In many ways, they’re a victim of their own success.

I didnt say your strawman phrase that you decided to argue against. I said exactly what i said. You made a strawman argument by rephrasing it to something i didnt say, but something you preferred to attack.

Dishonest. Liberal tactic. Now everyone can see how you operate.
