The Lies Behind the ‘Pandemic of Unvaxxed’
UnCancelled News ^ | August 15, 2021 | Dr. Joseph Mercola

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House and most mainstream media, what we have now is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”1

According to the official narrative, 99% of COVID-19 deaths and 95% of COVID-related hospitalizations are occurring among the unvaccinated. In a July 16, 2021, White House press briefing,2 CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky claimed “over 97% of people who are entering the hospital right now are unvaccinated.”

But as reported by Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle,” “that statistic is grossly misleading,”3 and in an August 5, 2021, video statement, Walensky inadvertently revealed how that 95% to 99% statistic was created.

Grossly Misleading Data Manipulation

As it turns out, to achieve those statistics, the CDC included hospitalization and mortality data from January through June 2021. It does not include more recent data or data related to the Delta variant, which is now the most prevalent strain in circulation. The problem is, the vast majority of the United States population was unvaccinated during that timeframe.

January 1, 2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots,4 and as of June 15, 48.7% were fully “vaccinated.”5 Keep in mind that you’re not “fully vaccinated” until two weeks after your second dose (in the case of Pfizer or Moderna), which is given six weeks after your first shot. This is according to the CDC.6

So, those receiving an initial dose in June, for example, won’t be “fully vaccinated” until eight weeks later, sometime in July or August.

By using statistics from a time period when the U.S. as a whole was largely unvaccinated, the CDC is now claiming we’re in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” in an effort to demonize those who still have not agreed to receive this experimental gene modification injection.

Selective Pressure Promotes Emergence of New Variants

Here’s what Canadian viral immunologist and vaccine researcher Dr. Byram Bridle told Ingraham about the claim that we’re in a pandemic of the unvaxxed, and that the unvaccinated are hotbeds for dangerous variants:

“Absolutely, it’s untrue to be calling this a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s certainly untrue … that the unvaccinated are somehow driving the emergence of the novel variants. This goes against every scientific principle that we understand.

The reality is, the nature of the vaccines we are using right now, and the way we’re rolling them out, are going to be applying selective pressure to this virus to promote the emergence of new variants. Again, this is based on sound principles.

We have to look no further than … the emergence of antibiotic resistance … The principle is this: If you have a biological entity that is prone to mutation — and the SARS-CoV-2, like all coronaviruses is prone to mutation — and you apply a narrowly focused selective pressure that is nonlethal, and you do this over a long period of time, this is the recipe for driving the emergence of novel variants.

This is exactly what we’re doing. Our vaccines are focused on a single protein of the virus, so the virus only has to alter one protein, and the vaccines don’t come close to providing sterilizing immunity.

People who are vaccinated still get infected, it only seems particularly good at blunting the disease, and what that tells you therefore is that these vaccines in the vast majority of people are applying a nonlethal pressure, narrowly focused on one protein, and the vaccine rollout is occurring over a long period of time. That’s the recipe for driving variants.”

Natural Immunity Offers Far Superior Protection

Bridle also explains why natural immunity offers robust protection against all variants, whereas vaccine-induced immunity can’t. When you acquire the infection naturally, your body develops antibodies against ALL of the viral proteins whereas the COVID shots only trigger antibodies against one, namely the spike protein.

As mentioned above, when you have antibodies against just one of the viral proteins, the virus only needs to mutate that one protein in order to evade your immune system. When you have natural immunity, on the other hand, your antibodies will recognize all parts of the virus, so even if the spike protein is mutated, your body will recognize other parts of the virus and mount an attack against those.

That SARS-CoV-2 works the same way other viruses do was shown in a Nature Reviews Immunology study7 by Alessandro Sette and Shane Crotty, published in October 2020. The study, “Cross-Reactive Memory T Cells and Herd Immunity to SARS-CoV-2” argued that naturally-acquired immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is potent, long-lasting and very broad in scope, as you develop both antibodies and T cells that target multiple components of the virus and not just one.

If we are to depend on vaccine-induced immunity, as public health officials are urging us to do, we’ll end up on a never-ending booster treadmill. Boosters will absolutely be necessary, as the shot offers such narrow protection against a single protein of the virus. Already, data around the world show vaccine-induced protection is waning rapidly in the face of new variants, and Moderna has publicly stated that the need for additional boosters is expected.8

How Dangerous Is the Delta Variant?

According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Delta variant is both more transmissible and more dangerous than the original virus and previous variants. July 4, 2021, he told NBC News:9

“It is more effective and efficient in its ability to transmit from person to person. And studies that we’ve seen where they have been the variant that’s dominated in other countries, it’s clear that it appears to be more lethal in the sense of more serious — allow you to get more serious disease leading to hospitalization, and in some cases leading to deaths.”

In a June 29, 2021, interview,10 Fauci called the Delta variant “a game-changer” for unvaccinated people, warning it will devastate the unvaccinated population while vaccinated individuals are protected against it.

The Delta is more contagious but it’s far less deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a much weaker virus than both the U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta] variants. ~ Dr. Peter McCullough

Remember, Fauci is not a clinician and has never treated someone infected with SARS-CoV-2. Other health experts and practicing physicians who treat COVID-19 patients disagree with Fauci’s claims, arguing that not only is the Delta variant not more dangerous, it’s certainly not more dangerous for the unvaccinated.

As reported by Ingraham in June 2021 (video above), there’s an evolutionary genetics theory called Muller’s Ratchet, which states that as an outbreak starts to peter out, the virus tends to mutate into a more transmissible form, but at the same time it grows weaker, causing far less serious infection. According to epidemiologist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, this is exactly what we’re seeing. He told Ingraham:

“The good news is on the 18th of June, the United Kingdom presented their 16th report11 on the mutations — and they’re doing a great job, much better than our CDC — and what they demonstrated is that the Delta is more contagious but it’s far less deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a much weaker virus than both the U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta] variants.”

Spike Mutations Render Vaccinated Vulnerable to Delta

Importantly, the Delta variant contains three different mutations, all in the spike protein. This, McCullough explains, allows this variant to evade the immune responses in those who have received the COVID jabs — but not those who have natural immunity which, again, is much broader. In a June 30, 2021, appearance on Fox News (video above), McCullough stated:12

“It is very clear from the UK Technical Briefing13 that was published June 18th that the vaccine provides no protection against the Delta variant. It’s a very mild variant.

Whether you get the vaccine or not, patients will get some very mild symptoms like a cold and they can be easily managed … Patients who have severe symptoms or at high risk, we can use simple drug combinations at home and get them through the illness. So, there’s no reason now to push vaccinations.”

Children’s Health Defense chief scientific officer Brian Hooker, Ph.D., has echoed McCullough’s sentiments. The Defender quotes Hooker:14

“What we’re seeing is virus evolution 101. Viruses like to survive, so killing the host (i.e. the human who is infected) defeats the purpose because killing the host kills the virus, too. For this reason, new variants of viruses that circulate widely through the population tend to become more transmissive but less pathogenic. In other words, they will spread more easily from person to person, but they will cause less damage to the host.

The vaccine focuses on the spike protein, whereas natural immunity focuses on the entire virus.

Natural immunity — with a more diverse array of antibodies and T-cell receptors — will provide better protection overall as it has more targets in which to attack the virus, whereas vaccine-derived immunity only focuses on one portion of the virus, in this case, the spike protein. Once that portion of the virus has mutated sufficiently, the vaccine no longer is effective.”

Real-World Data Show Most of Infected are Fully ‘Vaccinated’

Real-world data from areas with high COVID jab rates show the complete converse of what media, the CDC and White House officials are telling us. In addition to the British Technical Briefing No. 16,15 cited above, we have additional data from Israel, Scotland, Massachusetts and Gibraltar:

August 1, 2021, director of Israel’s Public Health Services, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, announced half of all COVID-19 infections were among the fully vaccinated.16 Signs of more serious disease among fully vaccinated are also emerging, she said, particularly in those over the age of 60.

A few days later, August 5, Dr. Kobi Haviv, director of the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, appeared on Channel 13 News, reporting that 95% of severely ill COVID-19 patients are fully vaccinated, and that they make up 85% to 90% of COVID-related hospitalizations overall.17 As of August 2, 2021, 66.9% of Israelis had received at least one dose of Pfizer’s injection, which is used exclusively in Israel; 62.2% had received two doses.18

In Scotland, official data on hospitalizations and deaths show 87% of those who have died from COVID-19 in the third wave that began in early July were vaccinated.19

A CDC investigation of an outbreak in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, between July 6 through July 25, 2021, found 74% of those who received a diagnosis of COVID19, and 80% of hospitalizations, were among the fully vaccinated.20,21 Most, but not all, had the Delta variant of the virus.

The CDC also found that fully vaccinated individuals who contract the infection have as high a viral load in their nasal passages as unvaccinated individuals who get infected.22 This means the vaccinated are just as infectious as the unvaccinated.

In Gibraltar, which has a 99% COVID jab compliance rate, COVID cases have risen by 2,500% since June 1, 2021.23

While those who benefit from keeping the pandemic going would like you to cower in fear at the thought of the Delta variant, there’s really no evidence that it’s any worse than the original. It’s more transmissible, yes, but far less dangerous, as its primary symptoms are that of a regular cold.

According to Harvard and Stanford professors, the actual number of Americans dying from or with COVID-19 are actually at an all-time low, so alarmism is uncalled for.24

And, as for viral social media posts by doctors and nurses claiming hospitals are overflowing with unvaccinated COVID patients, don’t believe them. Most are bots. We’ve repeatedly seen evidence that fearmongering is being spread not by real people but by fake accounts run by artificial intelligence. This includes blue check accounts. Here’s a sampling of recent bot farm tweets trying to scare everyone:25

Don’t Fear It, Just Treat It

In closing, remember there are several different treatment protocols for COVID-19 that appear just as effective for variants as for the original virus, including the following:

IS there a test for the Delta variant?
NO! THAT IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO DELTA VARIANT.

Reports Of Vaccinated Breakthrough Cases/Hospitalizations/Deaths Are On The Rise - Sharply last month

A sampling of stories from around the country, and world.

When looking at stories, or data, keep in mind the timeframe. Is the data they are sharing/reporting regarding the entire vaccination timeline (from Jan), when there were far fewer variants and far fewer participating in the experimental injections? Or, is it what's happening recently, in the last week or last month with a growing pool of variants and participents in the experiments?

The following are about the current surge and whether or not the EUA injections are loosing effectiveness.

Well then I suggest you go to those hospitals and let the patients know they aren't really there. Maybe take some of this author's "alternative medicine" products with you to share with the staff.

Report complains of selective reporting.. and makes a huge leap of logic by claiming that the vaccinated are ending up in the hospital by using 5 absurd examples: Israel, Scotland, Massachusetts and Gibraltar.

The metric is simple: How many people are going to the hospital and how many are dying, and what percent are vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. If there isn’t a hard number (like 98%, below), I call BS.

In my county, its 98% unvaccinated who are dying.
https://www.coronavirus.cchealth.org/overview

Can anyone find the data for Massachusetts? Or any county that suggests the vaccinated are more at risk of hospitalization or death?

A full year of Covid-19, then one week after the vaccines are announced, the Delta Variant magically appears.

That 98% in the link you provided is going all the way back to December when hardly anybody was vaccinated and the Delta variant was unheard of. The monthly data which breaks down hospitalizations and deaths by race and age, conveniently doesn’t break down by vaccination status as far as I could find.

The local bird cage liner is pushing that one hospital has an ‘overflow’ tent set up outside (LBJ hospital, Houston). And that they can’t find nurses to staff it. Then they slip and say there’s 6 beds in it. They’ve since removed that little snippet, of course.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/health/article/Overflow-COVID-tents-pop-up-outside-LBJ-Hospital-16375025.php

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/health/article/Houston-nursing-shortage-comes-to-a-head-as-16361747.php

This seems to be a disaster in the making, and I’m going to hope anyone who dies after the booster is given sues Methodist for everything they possibly can.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/health/article/Houston-Methodist-to-administer-COVID-boosters-16389958.php

The Baylor College of Medicine student orientation became a spreader event! (cue the HA HA! Simpsons guy!)

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/health/article/Medical-student-orientation-turns-into-COVID-16386716.php

Lastly, the Methodist employees fired for refusing the shots are suing the hospital, and frankly, I hope they get enough they can retire and tell the hospital to KMA.

In June, a federal judge tossed a lawsuit filed against Houston Methodist Hospital over its COVID-19 vaccine requirement, finding that the mandate “was not coercion.”

(A mandate of get this experimental shot or lose your job is the textbook definition of coercion, dumba$$ judge.

Fantastic Post!!!!

Bookmarked, and will spread the link around.

Very grateful to you for posting this.

(Also turns out, if you’re fairly healthy, the best thing to do is get the Delta, imo)

In my county, its 98% unvaccinated who are dying.

That isn't true, and you apparently fell for the same data presentation trick that the article is describing.

If you look at the source you cited it says "Percentage of COVID-19 related deaths in people who were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated since December 15, 2020 when vaccines became available."

But we all know that very few people were fully vaccinated until months later. If you look at the source you cited you will see that of the 565 people who died since the beginning of December 2020, the great majority died before vaccination was widely available, or even completed for the two shot regimens.

For example, in December, January, and March alone 84% of the deaths occurred. In June, July, and August only 27 people died from COVID in the county, which is slightly less than 5% of the total deaths.

So the BS is what the county did by including deaths from when virtually no one was vaccinated, and there was a large outbreak of the virus as they described the current situation.

None of the graphs or summary information provide any data about how many people are dying now from COVID and their vaccination status.

Interpreting the case rates for vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals is also difficult since CDC guidelines only require reporting of COVID cases among vaccinated people that are severe.

Looking at case rates in the last 14 days by community in comparison to vaccination rates in those communities shows that vaccination generally seems to reduce the case rates but some communities with >90% vaccination rates still have higher case rates than other communities with lower vaccination rates.

For example, the community with the highest case rate is Bethel Island, with 740 cases per 100,000 and a vaccination rate of only 55%. But the small community of Diablo has the 4th highest rate, with 669.6 cases per 100,000 and a vaccination rate greater than 90%.

The lowest case rate for the last 14 days is Knightsen, with 85 cases per 100,000. They have a vaccination rate of 31%, the lowest in the county.

So there is no simple relationship, and public health officials are posting misleading graphs and charts to support a narrative from the left.

It would be helpful to everyone if the government shared all of the data, not just certain combinations of data carefully picked to make a misleading impression.

You’re right.. There should be a way to show the last 60 days of vaccinated/unvaccinated in hospitals or dead. Have you seen any such data?
