SAN ANTONIO – Forty-two people are now in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 at a San Antonio assisted living facility, a management company for the facility confirms.

The positive cases were reported among 31 residents and 11 staff members last week at Heartis San Antonio Assisted Living and Memory Care on the far North Side.

All 31 residents are fully vaccinated; four staff members are fully vaccinated, three have their first doses and four have not been vaccinated, officials said.

” But they never said the vaccines would prevent infection or spread. They just said it would reduce risk of severe illness.”

If that is the case, then why don’t they promote building healthy immune systems with Vitamin C, D3, and zinc, etc.? Why do they forbid us to use long trusted medications like HCQ and Ivermectin? Having a healthy immune system has the same or better results in fighting the virus as the jab does.

Your president was on tv last night claiming that vaccinated people don’t get covid

I am most definitely not "pro-poke for all" and think there is something very strange about the over the top push for everyone to take an experimental medical treatment. Even someone like me looks at this line of argument and ask "Seriously?"

I will eventually get the Pfizer shot.

In December, I said I would wait 6 months.

When COVID flat lined in June, I decided to wait 12 months.

Now, COVID is roaring to back to life, and I cannot make up my mind.

Long term risk of Pfizer vs. short term risk of COVID.

Efficacy in the elderly is likely to be not nearly as good.

But that’s the case with flu vaccines, too.

And we don’t shut down the country for influenza, mandate flu shots, or refuse to offer treatments and/or prophylaxes...

At least we didn’t when we still had a republic.

I don't know why. I can only speculate and what I come up with is really bad. I'm just one guy on the internet but I've been hopping mad that our federal agencies haven't looked into repurposing existing drugs like HCQ and Ivermectin, with a cocktail of other medications and supplements.

The best answer I can give is that Faux and company wanted the money to go into mRNA vaccine research. And that's bad enough because it is unscientific, uncompassionate and unethical. And from there it just brings up more questions and more speculation and none of which raises my confidence. Machiavellian at best throwing millions under the bus on the hope the vaccines will work long term (and new data suggests their efficacy wanes from 95% to 50% in 10 weeks after 2nd jab) and come up with treatments for future diseases. But sick to let millions die for that reason. Nefarious and political and power grabbing greed at worst.

Yeah well the Sponsor can write whatever they want in their application. Doesn’t make it so. Clearly the agenda they are pushing now is that it doesn’t prevent infection or spread of the disease. And we can see that on the news with vaccinated people testing positive from olympians to sports teams to celebrities to these nursing home people; restaurants are closing again around my town (of their own choice) because vaxxed staff have tested positive.

And now look at this link below. I saw some of the early trial data reviews and they showed that the vaccine’s first shot work really good (aside from whatever side/after effects they may create) for about 5 weeks. Then their efficacy starts to drop. I presume that is why they made it a 2-dose regimen. But now, they are saying even after 2 doses, 10 weeks it drops from the purported 95% to 50%. 2nd shot doesn’t appear to add any additional value to the immune system except maybe a few extra weeks of good protection.

Just for the record, JNJ claims their 1-shot is very effective against the Delta variant. They have 2 pre-print publications circulating to support their assertions but afaik it hasn’t been vetted or peer reviewed yet.

I read about J&J's own numbers this morning.

Back in March or April, I decided to get the J&J.

Then, they had vaccine quality problems at the Baltimore pharma plant, quickly followed by a mediocre prevention score of 64%, as I recall.

One of these days, I will impulsively walk over to my local clinic and get the Pfizer shot.

But, not today.

"Yeah well the Sponsor can write whatever they want in their application. Doesn’t make it so. "

The terms of the EUA do though.

FACT SHEET FOR RECIPIENTS AND CAREGIVERS EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) OF THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE TO PREVENT CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) IN INDIVIDUALS 12 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER

...

WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA)? The United States FDA has made the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine available under an emergency access mechanism called an EUA. The EUA is supported by a Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) declaration that circumstances exist to justify the emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has not undergone the same type of review as an FDA-approved or cleared product. FDA may issue an EUA when certain criteria are met, which includes that there are no adequate, approved, available alternatives. In addition, the FDA decision is based on the totality of scientific evidence available showing that the product may be effective to prevent COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic and that the known and potential benefits of the product outweigh the known and potential risks of the product. All of these criteria must be met to allow for the product to be used in the treatment of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EUA for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is in effect for the duration of the COVID-19 EUA declaration justifying emergency use of these products, unless terminated or revoked (after which the products may no longer be used).


https://www.fda.gov/media/144414/download

Moderna's EUA:
"Having concluded that the criteria for issuance of this authorization under Section 564(c) of the Act are met, I am authorizing the emergency use of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19"

Janssens's EUA:
"On February 27, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for emergency use of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 for individuals 18 years of age and older pursuant to Section 564 of the Act."

 

Regarding this story here, there was a 90+% failure rate for the vaccine(s) to "prevent" COVID.

Now, of course, this is a single story. However, there is growing evidence being "leaked" through the governments firewall, that these "breakthrough" cases of fully vaccinated people getting COVID are increasing.

If this were about legitimate science...and not political science, those EUA's would be "revoked."

 

And, as for the UK:

“The JCVI (Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation) is not currently advising routine vaccination of children outside of these groups (w/underlying health conditions), based on the current evidence.

As evidence shows that COVID-19 rarely causes severe disease in children without underlying health conditions, at this time the JCVI’s view is that the minimal health benefits of offering universal COVID-19 vaccination to children do not outweigh the potential risks.

The gov't firewall on breakthrough case information may be cracking.

The media and the gov functionaries are saying this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated...of course, when the leftists say this it's most probably the opposite....a pandemic of the vaccinated.

I do agree, there are clearly a lot of “breakthrough cases” or whatever you want to call them. So much so that the NIH is telling labs to run fewer cycle counts among the vaccinated tests compared to the unvaccinated. They should be using the same protocol for both to get a real idea of what’s happening out there.

In the ideal world of hopes and dreams, these vaccines will prevent serious illness or death and have no long term after effects.

There is frankly too much information to keep track of, and kind of annoying when so called experts won’t just admit “I don’t know” instead of pretending to be omniscient.

But I’ve read and repeated that in the UK they Delta variant is very prevalent and that 40% of hospitalized are double-jabbed. Now it could be that their AstraZeneca vaccine isn’t very effective against Delta. Who’s to know for sure at this point. I am operating under the assumption that “the powers the be” have basically conceded, without saying it outright, that they fully expect nearly everyone to catch Covid at some point. They couch it in nice terms “prevent covid” but I don’t think that was ever the reality. Vaccines in general don’t prevent anything, they just train the body so the immune systems is ready to attack the virus quickly, and thus minimizing symptoms and killing it sooner so it won’t spread as widely - assuming the infected person isn’t in isolation.

"You underlined the wrong part IMO. To me the key words are "may be effective at preventing...""

That highlights the point even more. Additionally, that "may" language is only in Pfizer's EUA.

May prevent.

The other two.

Prevent.

They're EUA's should be yanked.

But prevention of covid is NOT what anyone pushing the experimental vaccines is talking about anymore. They're saying...hey, the death rate is down among the vaccinated.

Well, that's NOT what their EUA's are based on.

They are based on preventing covid.

If science and honestly were in play, their authorization to distribute and administer outside an actual enrolled study would be revoked.

Put another way...

"may prevent" would be satisfied if 1 in 1 million were prevented from getting covid, but the other 999,999 got it.

Hey...we never said it was 100% effective. We said it "may" prevent.

No. all the vaccines EUA's, and promotion at the start was based on preventing covid.
