Vermont: Highest Vaccination Rate, Record-Breaking COVID Numbers. Why?
PJ Media ^ | 12/02/2021 | A.J. Kaufman

Posted on 12/02/2021 10:23:22 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Vermont, the left-wing New England paradise, is seeing a record number of its residents hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms. And this crisis comes despite having the highest vaccination rate in the United States.

Hospital admissions from COVID in the Green Mountain State have climbed rapidly in the last four months. With only 640,000 residents, 84 people are currently receiving hospital treatment, including 22 held in an intensive care unit. Consider that New York, at 30 times the population, has around 300 people currently hospitalized from coronavirus.

A disproportionate number of hospitalizations in Vermont are in the southwestern part of the state, near the Massachusetts border. Vermont’s Department of Health said a majority were not “fully vaccinated” against the virus.

“We do know that those who are not fully vaccinated are going to the hospital at a higher rate, and they are staying longer as well, consuming hospital resources,” Vermont Financial Regulation Commissioner Mike Pieciak told a local news affiliate.

Gov. Phil Scott and top health officials continue to promote COVID-19 vaccines and booster doses as the “best protection” against severe viral symptoms. The cancellation or delaying of elective surgeries is a likely next step.

The Scott administration has repeatedly advised residents to wear masks when inside public buildings. Though there’s no statewide mandate, municipalities have been granted authority to make their own masking rules.

Vermont Public Radio, which may be left of Lenin, acknowledged the situation Wednesday, then shared anecdotes and excuses — like cold weather. They also pushed for boosters, noting, “For many Vermonters though, it’s been more than six months since their last shot.”

Your informal chart points out what is missed in the usual vaccinated vs unvaccinated debate, i.e., despite vaccination rates in excess of 60% in most states (and even higher in most European countries) cases are going way up, sometimes to levels higher than when NO ONE was vaccinated.

Regardless of the percentage split between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, a much smaller pool of unvaccinated people should result in far fewer infections. That isn't happening.

They are working on a Covid patch.

This time they are torturing lab mice before torturing humans:

Ah, so now it's the "not fully vaccinated" who are the problem, eh?

Meanwhile back in early December of 2020, when no one was vaccinated at all, cases were roughly 1/3 of what they are right now. Go see for yourself.

At some point, someone's got to get up into the faces of these medicrats and challenge them directly.

From what I have read here it appears they actually do work for a while. Stay with me now.
It appears the Pfizer works for about 9 months. The Moderna for about 7. The J&J for 5ish.

None, of them worked 100%. No “vaccine” ever does. The regular flue vaccines were typically only 50% effective.

However, we all know now that these covid vaccines are different than regular old dead virus vaccines. The MAY leave you more vulnerable after they wear off. Hence, the need for boosters every 6 months.

The problem is each time you take the shot(new or booster) you are playing Russian Roulette. Will this be the time you get inflammation of the heart, Bells Palsy, blood clots or some other things that has yet to be discovered. The issue is we may not know for ten years what these “vaccines” potentially do to the human body.

With all due respect to Vermont freepers, please consider the following.

Justice Louis Brandeis had volunteered his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to encourage each state to use their 10th Amendment powers to experiment with different remedies for social and economic problems.

"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.

States with poor experimental results would then look over the shoulders of states with good results and borrow from their insight for successfully dealing with a problem.

Florida has the lowest Covid rate in USA… And it just dropped 53 percent more… (11.30.21)

But when the "leaders" of a state with bad results ignore the successful results of another state, then it is probably time for the people of that state to elect a new government.

In other words, social Darwinism trumps 10th Amendment-protected state powers imo.

“Fully vaccinated” means you’ve had the as-yet-unannounced booster.

The vaccines are probably working very well ... but not for their advertised purpose.

breakthrough infections that are symptomatic. That is not what we want to see.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The vaccines are poorly understood. They have only a single function: ATTENUATIO)N OF SYMPTOMS for 5 months after the 2nd jab.

******************************************

The Governement misleads America:

1) mRNA vaccines DO NOT provide immunity of any kind.No antibodies.

2) mRNA vaccines do not prevent transmisson of the virus.

3) mRNA vaccines do attenuate Covid symptoms if the Covid mutant variant is vulnerable, for a limited period of 5 months ( Pfizer) to 6 or 8 months ( Moderna).

4) The mRNA vaccines do not work in the nasal cavity, in the pharnyx or in the lung, they only work in the blood stream, but give no protection to Covid involved organs.IVM does.

Thats why Ivermectin in your friend when taken within a few days of the infection or as prophylaxis.

Proof of Effectiveness of Ivermectin:

https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin-in-covid-19/epidemiologic-analyses-on-covid19-and-ivermectin/

***************************************

How Ivermectin works:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343390023_Ivermectin_docks_to_the_SARS-CoV-2_spike_receptor-binding_domain_attached_to_A

There is reasonably solid evidence that ivermectin docks to the spike protein itself to prevent binding to the ACE2 receptor which is the primary pathology causing the tissue damage and clots related to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, this is also an implication that this ability of ivermectin to disable the binding of the Spike protein including the vaccine-produced spike proteins. This binding of ivermectin to disable the spike protein is also preserved even with the newer spike protein mutations, but its activity against the original Wuhan spike protein,(the one vaccines were designed to produce) is fairly well studied at this point.

Abstract:

Background/Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One drug that has attracted interest is the antiparasitic compound ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. We carried out a docking study to determine if ivermectin might be able to attach to the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound with ACE2. Materials and Methods: We used the program AutoDock Vina Extended to perform the docking study. Results: Ivermectin docked in the region of leucine 91 of the spike and histidine 378 of the ACE2 receptor. The binding energy of ivermectin to the spike-ACE2 complex was -18 kcal/mol and binding constant was 5.8 e-08.

Conclusion: The ivermectin docking we identified may interfere with the attachment of the spike to the human cell membrane. Clinical trials now underway should determine whether ivermectin is an effective treatment for SARS-Cov2 infection.

******************************

The following video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Bl2v3BR2M ] explains the multiple mechanisms of the activity of Ivermectin including the ability of the body to maintain its basic defense of the cell nucleus in preserving the body’s ability to produce antiviral proteins, inhibition of RNA dependant RNA polymerase which inhibits the replication of viral RNA (possibly including that from the mRNA vaccine package), the stat 3 human signaling pathway which inhibits the production of blood clots also possibly mitigating some of the vaccines most dangerous side effects. Also discussed is the inhibition of the CD147 pathway by ivermectin which again may block the clumping of platelets due to spike protein either from the virus or possibly the vaccines.

**************************************

IN FACT these Public Health commies do not want you to know about Ivermectin, that’s why they ridicule the drug and its use at every turn and suppress the news of Ivermectin’s effectiveness.

I posted the math a month ago.

For every life saved by the covid vaxx, at least 45 die as a result of the covid vax.

Your informal chart points out what is missed in the usual vaccinated vs unvaccinated debate, i.e., despite vaccination rates in excess of 60% in most states (and even higher in most European countries) cases are going way up, sometimes to levels higher than when NO ONE was vaccinated.

And not just cases. COVID deaths as well. Vermont would appear to be a prime example of this, although I've yet to see anybody write about, or provide an explanation, of certain data that is readily available.

In (pre-vax) August 2020, there were 0 deaths involving COVID in Vermont. In (pre-vax) September 2020, there were 0 deaths involving COVID in Vermont. In (pre-vax) October 2020, there were 0 deaths involving COVID in Vermont. In (pre-vax) November 2020, there were 16 deaths involving COVID in Vermont.

And the corresponding figures for 2021, when 90%+ of Vermont's residents have been vaxxed? The state incurred 17 COVID deaths in August 2021, 44 COVID deaths in September 2021, 41 COVID deaths in October 2021, and (with all of the data yet to be reported), 25 COVID deaths in November 2021.

Deaths, not just cases, not just hospitalizations. Deaths. Seems to me that, as a matter of logic, even the purported "waning efficacy" of the vaccines fails to provide an coherent explanation for why more people are reported as dying of COVID in Vermont now, compared to the same time last year, when no one had as yet been vaccinated.

This is a trend that started across the country back in August 2021. In September 2021, every state but one saw an increase in COVID deaths, compared to pre-vax September 2020. The trend has continued (although perhaps to a somewhat lesser degree) into October 2021. The data for November 2021 are not yet complete so as to enable any conclusions to be drawn, from what I've been able to dope out.

One can postulate various coherent explanations for this phenomenon. I wish somebody more knowledgeable that I am on this subject would do so.

If you look at the numbers that you mentioned, you would almost think that the unvaccinated are LESS safe than they were before anyone was vaccinated. I can’t remember the details, but some people who know way more about it than I do have actually explained why this would be the case.

What does “fully vaccinated” mean?

Depends on where you're at. If you're in most of Europe, think it now means you've gotten your booster.
If you're in Israel, it means 4th (5th?) booster.
In these US today? It means the first two shots.
In these US next week/month? It means a booster.
In these US next year? It means booster eight or nine...

Except this doesn't really work anymore. Now when any Dem initiative fails, they just blame it on all the surrounding States that didn't participate in the experiment.

We had a huge wave at work beginning 3 to 4 weeks after folks starting running to get FraudXi Juice put in their bodies. I’m certain the case counters KNOW what the vexed to Pure Blood ratio is but they’re not letting on.

When those cases started going up at work was when Vitamin I was started. Prior to that I’d been on all of the FLCCC protocols plus other immune system boosters because I’d read about “shedding” and “self-spreading vaccines”(detailed in a John Hopkins paper).

The wave of cases started in FL and TX in July. Then TN had a huge peak in September. It has moved north to the northern states.
