She says the current round of shots is a test to figure out what dose is needed to kill you.
How deeply ironic that you cited Buckhead's work, when he has not been seen here since late 2015 -- "Thanks for the ping, and thank you and joanie-f for a very elevated discussion, which has been quite a rarity on FR for a long, long time." -- probably because of threads like this.
We should be discussing breakthrough infections of the vaccinated. Period. Instead there are people dead-set intent on distracting us from crafting a political cudgel out of "discussing breakthrough infections of the vaccinated", a cudgel that could greatly advance constitutional conservatism.
Ask yourself why they don't want that conversation to happen.
Yes we all remember the "accurate" hit article for the cabal they all did on Hydroxychloroquine that they quickly retracted. Most trusted kinda like CNN.
Hey man, it’s your decision on the rat-poison.
To quote Andrew Willow, “Your freedom to be you includes my freedom to be free from you.”
I hope, for your own sake, you don’t die a miserable death from your “vaccine” as so many others have.

I agree with you. My guess is that we don’t need dark conspiracies when common self-serving stupidity will do the trick when it concerns the vaccines, and especially with the reaction by politicians and bureaucrats to the pandemic. I had a terrible reaction to the vaccine, which I was obligated to take to keep my job, so I’m no fan of the current system, or the vaccine itself.
TPTB don’t want a discussion since it will focus on their foolish or destructive policies, and that discussion would be like someone screaming “liability” in a crowded bureaucracy.
I think the government and the pharmaceutical industries are using the population as the vaccine’s beta test. A “known unknown” situation. A problem like mine would have been discovered if the procedures would have been followed, but instead, the side effect that messed me up is now in the database and will be used to reconfigure the vaccine. Ugh. And if the vaccine wasn’t bad enough, the anger and disgust of every elementary and high school student who had a year of education taken away from them will manifest itself during the next several decades. I can see someone in an office someday talking with a colleague and saying, “I missed all of third grade, so I can’t do basic math, thanks to the f***ing pandemic.”
Not to mention the move by the left using the pandemic as their Great Leap Forward, which is another discussion, but it’s another example of self-serving people seeing an opportunity, and in the process destroying people and culture. Today’s students are not going to have happy memories of their schooling.
Be well out there.

Where did you find this quote? I’ve been looking and can’t find it anywhere.

Oh, in Buckhead's old posts? Hang on, let me find that again...It was a couple years before he retired. I should probably ping him as courtesy. Hi Buckhead! How are you, counselor? If you read this no need to reply, you are well-remembered here.
Here you go redpoll, Buckhead at #29. Have a great day, FRiend.
If I post this on Fakebook and twitter will I get banned?
Asking for a friend.

How about this
No wonder mask mandates are returning, the vaccination doesn’t work, yet they keep pushing it. so confusing.
It’s funny that haircut is called “The Karen” now, it used to be called The Rachel. Guess it started as that and warped.
Whoa, Nellie! Let's not forget that YOUR SIDE keeps touting the reputation of the Lancet in their repeated lie of: "Peer-Reviewed Lancet Article Proves Vaccines Don't Work".
OHO! At last I find out where all the conspiracy buzz is coming from, re "The vaccines don't do nothin'! It's right here in this table of stats. Read it and weep!"
Well I did read it. And you should be the one weeping for shame that you've repeatedly propagated a number of lies on FR with this one post you keep repeating, that covers the categories of: "Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics".
First lie is obvious: Peer Reviewed Research. Merely click on the Lancet link you gave me, and look carefully near the upper left corner: It says "COMMENT". It is commentary. Think: Opinion Page of a newspaper. This is not, and has never been "peer-reviewed research".
-No, that doesn't speak to the truth of the words in the commentary.
-But it *does* speak volumes about the integrity and believability of the people who keep hyping this.
-If they happily continue to pass on this obvious lie, what else about the article are they lying about? Hmmmm? Let's read more of the article and find out ...
CATEGORY #3: "... and Statistics":
The three authors focus on a stat called "Absolute Risk Reduction" (ARR) - which is close to 1%.
They ignore the really relevant stat known as "Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) - which is close to 90%.
Here is why the selection of which stat to use is important. I'll create a fictitious example using large round #s to make the math easier:
BOTTOM LINE: THE BIG LIE TOLD BY PEOPLE WHO QUOTE THIS LANCET ARTICLE:
The people quoting it completely misunderstand even the most basic tenets of statistics (or else they're lying and know it), by drawing a conclusion that is totally bogus (and was NEVER claimed by the authors of the Commentary in Lancet): They point to the 1% *Absolute* reduction rate, and spout: "The vaccine is useless as it only works 1% of the time". That's an out and out lie, because the reality is that it REALLY DOES work 90% of the time to prevent Covid deaths or hospitalizations or whatever is being measured by some study.
But they are starting with the counter-point of: "So few are going to die of it whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, that an average person taking this 90% effective vaccine is still only going to reduce their odds of dying from Covid by a tiny amount" - which is certainly true - but then changing it to the big lie of: "The vaccine is useless; it only works 1% of the time!"
So please stop spreading this lie of "Vaccines are only 1% effective". They are around 90% effective, and you all know it.
ADDENDUM:
The spokesperson for the 3 Lancet Comment-ers has expressed regret that social media based conspiracists have taken their "1% ARR Elephant in the Room" commentary and lied about it.
He freely admits that the vaccines are around 90% effective. But he is making another point entirely with his "ARR=1%" fact, namely: "Why are we spending so much on something that will save only 1% of people's lives?"
If you wonder why he's doing this, take a quick look at his resume. The answer to the question is a big Duh! This guy works in a Tropical Medicine research facility.
For "Tropical" read: "fighting disease in the other half of the world".
Year after year, people like this beg on their knees for a few table scraps from governments and charitable foundations who dole out disease research $$.
Year after year they see billions go for research into breast cancer, MS, Alzheimers, Lupus, heart disease, and a host of other diseases that are the main killers north of the Tropics. Some of these diseases - like MS - are practically UNHEARD OF in the tropics.
So it must have been a bitter pill to swallow in 2020-2021 to see the entire industrialized world mobilize to pour billions into preventing a new disease that is of high concern in the wealthy countries, where it only saves 1% of people, and compare that to the paltry amounts the tropical disease researchers are getting, where they would save many more lives, though of course they're the people who live on the wrong side of the tracks, so to speak. (I wonder if maybe their funding even went DOWN in some cases as money was diverted to Covid research.)
So, this cry for help of: "Hey, look how few lives you're saving up there with this vax; don't forget about the rest of the world!" has been latched onto and spun into the lie of "The vax doesn't work!" by the clickbait artists ("Pimp my website! Pimp my blog! Pimp my podcast! Pimp my vblog!...") who make Big Bucks off of conspiracy bingers.
90% effective in not giving immunity you mean, and if you have not figured that out you will. The scam artists will be hung!
90% effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths, you mean, and if you have not figured that out you will. The scam artists will be hung!
My solution! ---- (no, no. No need to thank me) --- The Conspiracy Master List Daily Tear-off Calendar. One page per day. But instead of one "cutesy saying" or "cute animal photo" per day, you an have an endless list of things like:
Too much critical thinking in one post!
You are going to confuse someone with stuff like that… 😂
Nice post!
That’s what was pictured?
So how much big pharma stock do you own?
Might want to quickly put Jane on the zany claim list since you have been soooooo busted.
Not sure what the story is there but zany is an understatement and looking for signs of intelligent comments won’t yield much…
