Vaccines are the great success of the pandemic. Americans should be celebrating these breakthrough innovations that U.S. industry produced at breakneck speed. But instead even vaccines are becoming another front in the culture war.
About 65% of Americans over the age of 12 and nearly 90% of those 65 and older have received at least one dose. Widespread inoculations have resulted in plunging cases, hospitalizations and deaths in recent months even as most states lifted their lockdowns and mask mandates.
Cases have fallen by some 90% and hospitalizations nearly as much since their January peak. Deaths are 95% lower, and hospitals have more room to admit less ill patients. Returns are diminishing on each new vaccination as herd immunity approaches, but the societal goal should still be to vaccinate as many adults as possible. The more vaccinations, the lower the chance that breakouts this fall and winter could burden the hospital system and result in lockdowns.
Most Americans believe the personal benefits from vaccination outweigh the potential risks. Governments haven’t needed to resort to coercion, though some have tried to prod people with financial incentives. Yet the question now is what to do about the third of Americans who haven’t been vaccinated, especially as the Delta variant spreads.
Experts have been guilty of overplaying the risk of new variants to justify lockdowns. But the Delta variant deserves special caution. It is estimated to be more than twice as contagious as the original strain. The Pfizer vaccine is also between 10% and 30% less effective in blocking transmission of the variant, though it still appears to be more than 90% protective against severe illness.

Buried Truth: CDC Reports More Covid Vaccine Deaths than Covid Deaths Over the Last Two Weeks
I have four possible explanations.
1. Buyers remorse, fueling a desire to be surrounded by more vaxxed folks so they feel better/that everything will be ok.
2. They are True believers.
3. They're plants.
4. The messenger RNA has messed with their minds. I've noticed a LOT of people behaving strangely, at work and at play. Maybe it's because we've spent 30+ days in the hole....Or maybe the shots have messed people up bigly.
What if:
What if the long term effects are near certain death or chronic disease?
We don’t know if that is true or not.
But 2/3rds of Americans are in the TEST group.
What could possibly go wrong?
I saw the other day that the Brits were reporting that 60% of their current covid deaths were vax’d.
That was very well written. Thank you for posting.
I would like to point out, also, that the worldwide release of this virus was likely deliberate and absolutely no efforts have been made to insure against future releases of more viruses.
To me, this is the more important issue.
100% agree
It’s not even a vaccine.
“The decline in case and fatalities since January coincided with the rollout of the shots. However, it can also be shown that this virus follows the seasonal/bad in the winter pattern of influenza, so correlation doesn’t mean causality.”
Yup. And the gaslighting is the tell. There is a MASSIVE online effort at pushing the ‘vaccines’.
Some dumbass University of Oregon academics thought they’d try to figure out why there were still ‘vaccine’ holdouts in the state, publishing their results that Gov. Brown was the LEAST trusted source of information.
Considering the politics of most all of the holdouts, I award the UO researchers the ubiquitous dunce cap.
But now they’ll spend more public funds recruiting doctors to do ads promoting the medical experiments and fear porn.
Yep, it does. My guess is the mRNA type could be developed more quickly.
In hindsight, they probably should have developed a traditional vaccine in parallel. That way if the new type failed, there would be a fallback, albeit with possibly delayed delivery. And of course it would be acceptable to the large slice of the population that has turned out to be wary of the new type.
100% agree
Except maybe, I don’t think the other side is smart enough to pre-plan this.
They’re just taking advantage of opportunities as they appear.
Correlation is not causation.
People who believe in real science know this.
Propagandists do as well, but they are in the pretend-science business.
And, the same mindset is driving this holocaust to be. Might as well be based on skin color — oh, mebbe it is.
On another thread it says hospitals are packed with covid patients. It can’t be both ways.
Oh that’s right...the Chinese vax is the traditional kind. Doesn’t seem to be very effective though. I wonder if that’s because China botched it or if there’s something inherent in that type that makes it less effective.
“Since my children and I have been vaccinated, we have felt more comfortable...”
People who have been “vaccinated” make up 47% of the new Covid cases in Great Britain.

Good luck over the next three years with the “vaccine” side-effects.
If this were a vaccine I’d be indifferent at best. But, since it does not prevent re-infection and transmission to others it is worthless for that purpose. It minimizes the potential impact of infection on the one who gets the jab. That is all. It does nothing to promote herd immunity. And, that is why masks are still being promoted. Well, part of the reason. Let’s face it (no pun) most masks are made in China and the CCP puppets pushing this crappola are on the hook to continue the revenue.
WSJ = the paper of big business, never reliably conservative.
Threee key points are almost always excluded from discussions over whether to get vaccinated.
First, natural immunity is almost always ignored. If you think it is a close call, why not try to find out whether you have been previously infected. If you have, that lowers the risk (we don’t know how much) of remaining unvaccinated. Our overlords do not want this information to risk swaying anyone against vaccination so they discourage or ignore antibody testing.
Second, herd immunity. We would probably reach herd immunity faster with no vaccine at all. Regardless, we are clearly moving towards it.
Third, the risk presented by Covid across populations is not uniform. The vaccine hype machine consistently pretends otherwise. If you aren’t elderly or fat, well you don’t face the same risks that those who are do. And if you are fat, well time to get inspired to to get fit!
Finally, they are coming for the children.
Stories like that make me wonder if your older relative didn’t really have COVID at all … but instead showed up a “false positive” because he/she was actually infected with something else from the large family of coronaviruses that include many things no worse than the common cold.
He’s got antibodies to COVID-19 now.
