The scattered reports from around the country can play like a cruel irony: Someone tests positive for the coronavirus even though they have already received one or both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.
Notable examples
It’s happened to at least three members of Congress recently:
Adriano Espaillat, Democrat of New York.
Stephen Lynch, Democrat of Massachusetts.
Lori Trahan, another Massachusetts Democrat.
But it’s been reported in people in other walks of life too, including Rick Pitino, a Hall of Fame basketball coach, and a nurse in California.
How can that happen?
Experts say cases like these are not surprising and do not indicate that there was something wrong with the vaccines or how they were administered. Here is why.
Vaccines don’t work instantly. It takes a few weeks for the body to build up immunity after receiving a dose. And the vaccines now in use in the U.S., from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, both require a second shot a few weeks after the first to reach full effectiveness.
Nor do they work retroactively. You can already be infected and not know it when you get the vaccine — even if you recently tested negative. That infection can continue to develop after you get the shot but before its protection fully takes hold, and then show up in a positive test result.
The vaccines prevent illness, but maybe not infection. Covid vaccines are being authorized based on how well they keep you from getting sick, needing hospitalization and dying. Scientists don’t know yet how effective the vaccines are at preventing the coronavirus from infecting you to begin with, or at keeping you from passing it on to others. (That’s why vaccinated people should keep wearing masks and maintaining social distance.)

“Testing positive” ≠ getting sick, being severely symptomatic,being hospitalized, needing intubation, etc, etc.
Ever hear of false positives?
We need two weeks to flatten the curve.
OK, that didn’t work. I guess life can never be normal again until we get a vaccine.
OK, we have a vaccine, but life won’t be normal until we wear masks for a year after we get vaccinated.
OK, the vaccine is iffy and kind of doesn’t work ... but don’t worry, Joe has a plan.
OK, Joe doesn’t have a plan and the tyranny will continue forever. Because that’s Joe’s plan.
I think George Carlin summed it up nicely in one of his skits.
How many times can you cry wolf and still be believed? The Slimes surpassed that benchmark with Walter Duranty. ‘NUFF SAID.
Do tell?

THE LOGIC OF CORONAVIRUS VACCINATION.
THINK ABOUT IT!
Questions to Government we all should be asking....
If I get vaccinated:
1. Can I stop wearing the mask?
- No
2. Can they reopen restaurants etc. and everyone work normally?
- No
3. Will I be resistant to covid?
- Maybe, but we don’t know exactly, it probably won’t stop you getting it
4. At least I won’t be contagious to others anymore?
- No, you can still pass it on, possibly, nobody knows.
5. If we vaccinate all children, will school resume normally?
- Not nessarily.
6. If I am vaccinated, can I stop social distancing?
- No
7. If I am vaccinated, can I stop disinfecting my hands?
- No
8. If I vaccinate myself and my grandfather, can we hug each other?
- No
9. Will cinemas, theatres and stadiums be reopened thanks to vaccines?
- No
10. Will the vaccinated be able to gather?
- No
11. What is the real benefit of vaccination?
- So that the virus won’t kill you.
12. Are you sure it won’t kill me?
- There is no such thing as 100% certainty
13. If statistically the virus didn’t kill me anyway ... Why would I get vaccinated?”
- To protect others. That’s the goal.
14. How is vaccinating me going to protect others, if the vaccine is for personal protection. Do you know what are you talking about?
- There’s always uncertainty, never a guarantee.
15. So if I get vaccinated, the others are 100% sure I’m not infecting them?
- No
So the vaccine does not give immunity.
Does not eliminate the virus.
Does not prevent death.
Does not guarantee you won’t get it.
Does not prevent you from getting it.
Does not stop you passing it on.
Does not eliminate the need for travel bans.
Does not eliminate the need for business closures.
Does not eliminate the need for lockdowns.
Does not eliminate the need for masking.
So...what is it actually doing?????????????????????????????😂😂😂
Same as with any other vaccine in history.
Exactly.
The goal posts have been moved so many times that the end zone now looks more like a remake of Caddyshack with Fauci playing Bill Murry.
What percentage of the population has been vaccinated at this point? Not even 10%. So those comments are hardly logical to make - at this point - as to the effective of a vaccine.
they gave him B12 instead
All of those and more effectively eliminate those diseases due to herd immunity. IOWs virtually no one has it so no one else gets it.
The test also determines if you have the virus in your snot - you can get that by just inhaling it! If you’re symptomless it means you probably do NOT have it - even though the test detected it.
Dr Simone Gold - The truth about the CV-19 Vaccine BitChute video 56:00
You should watch the first 30 minute video at least. The SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is an experimental vaccine by definition.
Could it be because it is not a vaccine?
