Simple, Honest Questions In The Battle Against COVID
American Thinker.com ^ | July 25, 2021 | Jeff M. Lewis

I am neither a scientist nor a medical professional but, given a few scientific laws, I tend to believe I can understand their meaning and practical application. Over the course of my life, I have come to know that vaccines save lives and reduce the risk of deadly or life-altering infections. I have also learned that viruses mutate over time, and I am thankful that there are those in the medical and pharmacological professions who are conscientious about and vigilant against these threats.

I also tend to think philosophically about the routines and the challenges of daily living: A house built on solid rock will withstand the storms that will come; a house divided against itself cannot stand. Some will recognize the eternal truth in these proverbs as I have paraphrased quotes from the Gospels of the Holy Bible. The truth is always what we need (whether we want to hear it or not), and when spoken clearly and with the speaker manifestly having our best interests at heart, we will be more likely to accept it.

In this current age of “disinformation” and distrust, there is something important that people holding positions that serve both their communities and fellow citizens must remember: We Americans simply want to know the truth, and we want elected officials to tell us the truth and trust us to act in our own best interests.

That may be too much to ask, but I still have a few simple, honest questions. Is there anyone who has access to the information who would be willing to research and share? Are these even the right questions to ask?

- CDC data for July 18, 2021, shows just under 34 million Americans have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, with just under 607,000 deaths.

There is little chance, in the USA and perhaps in the world of getting real truth about anything to do with this virus.

We have no idea of the long term side effects of the shots, goo, bad or none.

We are the lab rats.

SO about 1/2 of any group, especially essential workers should get the shots.

That way, either way things go, 1/2 or so should survive.

reduce the risk of deadly or life-altering infections.

And Wuhan doesn’t fall into that category. 99.6% survivability
rate, low risk to a vast majority of folks.

And constant lying, misrepresentation, manipulation of data, etc. to promote vaccine compliance: what other disease/ailment has such an effort behind it?

Ask THOSE questions too.

Good article. It’s exactly what i think.

Here are the questions (from the article) that I’d like to see answered (and I have a few more):

- What is the number of Americans expected to have antibody immunity plus those who have been vaccinated? How close then, are we to “herd immunity?”

- Of the most recently reported cases, how many (or what percentage) are of the Delta variant?

- Of the most recently reported deaths, how many (or what percentage) are of the Delta variant? This is an important distinction, is it not? The Delta is proclaimed to be more infectious/easier to spread, but less severe and less deadly.

- How can we be sure the “uptick” in cases is the much-dreaded Delta variant? Do the current tests allow us to make that determination? If not, does the scientific evidence exist to show that the uptick can clearly be attributed to the Delta variant?

- If the Delta variant is less severe, and those who contract it will most likely recover (vaccinated or not), then will that not lead us more quickly to “herd immunity?”

why should we trust anything our government officials recommend to stop the spread of a virus while they’re spreading thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a so called “global pandemic”???...

Yup...SOUTHERN border is wide open...eastern and western borders not really “closed” either. They think we’re idiots, and looks like half are.

Writing 101 says to state what the title means in the first paragraph.

One more to ponder:

Does the recent admission by CDC that PCR tests cannot differentiate COVID from Influenza mean that all of the statistics are garbage?

Precisely. And Democrat governors like Whitmer , Newsom , Murphy and Cuomo could all go to restaurants with their families, not wearing masks while the rest of us were locked down and locked out of the simple pleasures these aholes granted to themselves, Pelosi could get her hair done and Fauci just couldn’t get enough of being on the covers of magazines without a mask tells me they all knew this whole ‘’pandemic’’ was bulls**t.

Too coincidental that they’re all out there partying like Covid didn’t exist.

They were all in on the scam.

How close then, are we to “herd immunity?

This "herd immunity" stuff always cracks me up.

Is there what you call "herd immunity" to the other human coronaviruses (OC43, HKU1, NL63, 229E)? If not, why not?

And why should SARS-CoV 2 be different?

There is a simple answer for all those who are extremely concerned with all of this business with the Covid virus. You may not be able to protect yourself 100% from all this, but you can get right with God, by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior. If the worst happens you are saved for all eternity. Even if the virus has not affected you, you are still saved for all eternity.
