Just a week ago, a CDC study prompted MSM headlines such as "New study finds unvaccinated are 11 times more likely to die from Covid, CDC says." Last Friday, the CDC published the latest MMWR report, which stated, "Real-world studies of population-level vaccine effectiveness against laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 hospitalizations are limited in the United States." Later in the same report it revealed some details: "[t]he ratio of hospitalizations to cases was moderately lower among fully vaccinated (13.3 hospitalizations per 100 cases) compared with unvaccinated (17.1 hospitalizations per 100 cases) groups" under the delta variant dominant environment. Yes, that's 13.3 vs. 17.1, a mere 22% less in hospitalization over the unvaccinated, not >10X.
What is going on?
The previous report was propaganda for the vaccination campaign by the Biden administration. That report used non-representative "data assessed from 13 jurisdictions accounted for 25% of the U.S. population." The report cautioned that its conclusion "might not be generalizable," but it still suggests that "[t]he data might be helpful in communicating the real-time impact of vaccines (e.g., persons not fully vaccinated having >10 times higher COVID-19 mortality risk) and guiding prevention strategies such as vaccination and nonpharmacologic interventions. What was the message the CDC wanted to "communicate"? It's this:
Figure 1.
So convincing and exciting! That must be the good reason for everybody to get the wonder vaccines! If you are still hesitating, President Biden shames you and issues mandates to force you take the jab! The MSM started the narrative about "the pandemic of the unvaccinated" in coordination with the Biden administration.
Now the CDC suddenly makes a 180-degree turn and publishes a study to show that the vaccines are not so effective. Could it be just the truth or something else?

That explains why there are so many polio infected filling the hospitals in Israel.
When I stated there’s no macro evidence of vax success, the pro-vaxers would cite media reports stating the hospitals were inundated with the unvaxed only — “the reports were hard evidence that the vax works” they’d say.
I have no problem with the anecdotes, but they’re just anecdotes.
There are still no macro stats pointing to vax success.
You would have to be a real moron to believe anything the CDC, NIH, FDA or Surgeon General put out there.
This is why they got rid of the placebo groups. The placebo groups would have done much better.
