The CDC's COVID vaccine tracker reports that the shots have continued their downward spiral from the daily high of 4,304,851 on April 1, to 437,466 on July 14, a drop of almost 90%.
This hasn't stopped the propaganda media from continuing to declare great success convincing people to roll up their sleeves for their injections. David Leonhardt of the New York Times crowed Monday morning, "Many vaccine skeptics have since changed their minds and gotten shots" and proceeds to try to tell us the keys to anti-vaccine persuasion.

1. Seeing that millions of other Americans have been safely vaccinated.
The Kaiser report quotes selected study respondents:
"It was clearly safe. No one was dying." —a 32-year-old white Republican man in South Carolina
"I went to visit my family members in another state and everyone there had been vaccinated with no problems." —a 63-year-old Black independent man in Texas
"Almost all of my friends were vaccinated with no side effects." —a 64-year-old Black Democratic woman in Tennessee
2. Hearing pro-vaccine messages from doctors, friends, and relatives.
Leonhardt explains: "For many people who got vaccinated, messages from politicians, national experts and the mass media were persuasive. But many other Americans — especially those without a college degree [read "stupid deplorables"] — don't trust mainstream institutions. For them, hearing directly from people they know can have a bigger impact."
3. Learning that not being vaccinated will prevent people from doing some things.
More quotes from the study:
"Hearing that the travel quarantine restrictions would be lifted for those people that are vaccinated was a major reason for my change of thought." —a 43-year-old Black Democratic man in Virginia
"To see events or visit some restaurants, it was easier to be vaccinated." —a 39-year-old white independent man in New Jersey
"Bahamas trip required a COVID shot." —a 43-year-old Hispanic independent man in Pennsylvania
Let's review their brilliant suggestions for changing our minds…
Are people buying the story that the vaccines are safe?
We can clearly see that the CDC's own VAERS database has shown more deaths from the COVID vaccines than all vaccines combined over the last fifty years. These reports from doctors and health care professionals estimate well over 5,000 deaths, but since only 1–10% of adverse reactions are reported to VAERS, that number could be much higher.
The VAERS data are hard to evaluate because there are no consistent standards for reporting. A study is underway to get more accurate information from vaccine recipients themselves and on behalf of direct relatives who may have passed away.
Are pro-vaccine messages from doctors, friends, and relatives going to work?
If you visit mainstream social media and video sites, all you'll see are assurances that the vaccines are safe, but independent sources show the opposite. Hundreds of people are telling their own stories directly to the camera — including Eric Clapton and Ben Stein, who both thought getting the vaccine was a good idea. You get to decide for yourself if these videos are credible or part of an organized plot by "stupid deplorables" to share false information.
Will restrictions on travel or employer mandates do the trick?
Again, numbers don't lie. Despite incentives such as free lottery tickets and pressure from "COVID-woke" corporations, the vaccination rate continues to fall.
Is it even legal for an employer to force an employee to take an experimental injection in order to keep his job? Many believe that this violates federal and international law?
The silent majority of Americans are good-hearted people who trust their doctors and think their government leaders are acting in their best interest. But when they hear their friends talking about sudden deaths of recently vaccinated family members or coworkers, when they see horrifying video accounts from side-effect victims, and when they hear government officials' plans to pile on more and more pressure to get everyone (including children and babies!) vaccinated, and now they are being threatened by their employers with the loss of their jobs, the silent majority becomes the "Angry Majority."
Many are choosing to quit their jobs or retire early. Others are giving up air travel to countries with restrictive vaccine rules. They are boycotting corporations who threaten mandatory vaccines for their employees or conduct advertising campaigns promoting injections. "What right does a company that sells soda have to tell me to make health decisions?" they ask.
But most importantly, they are talking to their families, friends, and coworkers and pointing out why an experimental vaccine for a disease that is less deadly than a serious flu, with side effects 500 times greater than any other vaccine in history, is something to be avoided as if your life depends on it.
Firmly in the "pay the price" column.
Are these vaccine pushers vaccinated ?
“Learning that not being vaccinated will prevent people from doing some things.”
That’s coercion, not persuasion.
You see Tony Soprano come to your door, you are convinced.
Buy earplugs before they’re all sold out
Subject them to tax audits. Do not allow them to register their vehicles. Ban them from shopping for food, threaten to take their children away, bar them from renewing any state license they have etc, etc...
The leftist are really good at these types of things.
I’m sure they’re working on nefarious ways to convince some of us. Need gas? Insert your CV-VAX card, enter your pin, then insert your debit/credit card then lift nizzle, select grade of fuel.

Toy Soprano is dead. Twice.
1. Make the COVID vaccine a requirement for employment
2. Make the COVID vaccine a requirement for admission to all learning facilities (K-12, college, technical schools, adult learning).
3. Make the COVID vaccine a requirement to receive any service from a medical, dental, or vision group.
I wonder how close we'll get to that by the 2022 elections.
Why does the NYT think we need to know the color of the person interviewed?
“David Leonhardt of the New York Times crowed Monday morning, “Many vaccine skeptics have since changed their minds and gotten shots” and proceeds to try to tell us the keys to anti-vaccine persuasion.”
When the media has to frantically produce examples (I believe completely fabricated) of people changing their minds just to convince others you know they have a problem.
The exact opposite is the case. As more vaccinated keep dying, sensible people are choosing not to put their lives in danger by taking some political vaccine that was rushed to the market. Why else would the illegitimate Dementia Joe Joe regime be sending propagandists to go house to house to try and get people to take this vaccine?
No jammies, no hot cocoa.!
None of that is constitutional. And red states would not tolerate any of that nonsense.
We’ll see about that. Lots of blue city mayors in red states. Abbott *still* hasn’t smacked down Austin’s mayor and city council despite the voters passing an amendment on May 1 to ride the streets of the homeless camps. Abbott is such a weak governor, so I don’t think he’ll stop some of the above from occurring.
Find a Dr. That likes extra cash.
Shoot the dose down the drain - give me the card and take your $$$.
Apparently my nature is just the opposite. The more they rave about the drug, the more convinced I am not to get it.
I plan on getting my jab ... in 2023.
If you all aren’t dying by then.
A rhetorical question.
Because the leftist are fanatics, completely consumed by skin color which they use it to divide the once united, all in an effort to push their, "White folk evil" narrative.
