If they’re vaccinated they should be ok. The people in the ICU are the idiots who didn’t get vaccinated.

Again, we all know that The promise was not that you won’t get infected. Even Pfizer’s initial tests showed 95% efficacy, so we all understand that there’s a 5% chance of infection EVEN after vaccination. Therefore, the cases of these 3 Senators ( including Lindsay Graham and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ), should not be a surprise any longer.

However, the promise was :

1. Even if infected, your symptoms would be mild to negligible and you won’t be severely ill.

I think, that’s the case with these senators and the Texas Governor.

And

2. It guarantees 100% protection against DEATH by Covid.

The experience of Israel (Pfizer and AstraZeneca) and Seychelles ( mostly Chinese vaccines) more or less, have disproven the first guarantee.

I’ve also read of some deaths by Covid among those fully vaccinated although the cases are few, but the 100% guarantee is also disproven.

The US VAERS DATABASE has shown close to 13,000 deaths correlated with the vaccines, but we haven’t proven causation in most cases.

You are relying on old data—time to start paying attention to the new data...

This shows 97% protection rate offered by the vaccine -- 3 out of 100.

Fully consistent with the promised 96% protection rate.

From the Israeli National News 8/13/21: "“With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus, the 72 instances of reinfection amount to 0.0086% of people who were already infected with COVID. By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave.”

They lied about the vaccine. It does not prevent you from getting Covid. If anything it appears that it makes you more likely to get it.

They are also lying about who is ending up in ICU.

Everything you’ve been told by the media about this disease is a lie.

And people like you are the useful idiots perpetuating the lie.

The vaccine is not stopping the spread. It is intensifying it. The unvaccinated are not spreading the disease. The vaccinated are.

My wife had it three weeks ago. No jab. It’s just a cold, bro. All I had were allergy symptoms.

Data from this week:
Lee Health System, Florida. 81 in ICU. 78 of them unvaccinated, 3 vaccinated.
Sarasota Memorial Hospital 51 in ICU, 3 vaccinated 48 unvaccinated.

Similar stories in all the hot zones. Of those dying, still 99%+ are the regretful luddites.

Facts aren’t facts unless you hear them on OAN, right? Ask Phil Valentine how that worked out for him. Oh, that’s right, you can’t, he’s in a coma.

RE: Sorry, this isn’t true.

But it is. There never was a guarantee of no infection. The efficacy percentage that were PUBLICLY PRESENTED already tells us that even for Pfizer, there’s a 5% chance that you will be infected.

For Johnson and Johnson, the chances of being infected after vaccination are even higher — DOUBLE DIGITS.

By the way, most private insurers have stopped waiving cost-sharing on Covid hospitalizations. If you get intubated you’re going to pay from now on.
