America Is Having a Senior Moment on Vaccines
The Atlantic ^ | 1/11/24 | Daniel Engbar

Posted on 02/26/2024 5:41:43 PM PST by DallasBiff

SNIP

But even in the shadow of this triumph, a more specific crisis in vaccine acceptance has emerged. Americans aren’t now suspicious of inoculations on the whole—the nation isn’t anti-vax—but we have lost faith in yearly COVID shots. Barely any children have been getting them. Among adults, the drop in uptake has been rapid and relentless: By the spring of 2022, 56 percent of all adults had received their initial booster shot; a year later, just 28 percent were up to date; so far this COVID season, just 19 percent can say the same.

“...we have lost faith in yearly COVID shots...”

Heck, we lost faith in weekly COVID shots.

I have made many mistakes in my lifetime but refusing the vax was not one of them.

“Americans aren’t now suspicious of inoculations on the whole”

I am suspicious of the entire medical establishment as a whole.

The writer can just go take a flying leap!!

WE have lost faith in FDA,CDC,NIH, and government in general because of the LIES, LIES, LIES, and more LIES they tell us on a regular basis.

Joey Biden now says he became a Traitor because Beau was dying. Is Joey lying again???

Lying garbage, creating a entirely false non existent reality about the clot shot.

Only 19% vaccinated? There should be bodies in the streets.

Most of the people I observe “masking up”;obsessing on “getting tested”; and eagerly awaiting the latest/greatest brightest/whitest “new and improved ‘Boo$ter’” are younger millenials and Zers who simply haven’t lived long enough to realize that: yes, infectious respiratory diseases happen; and no, most of the time they greatly underperform their hype.

I’m in my seventh decade. I remember the Hong Kong Flu (school closed for two DAYS because of a lack of substitute teachers); the Avian Flu, the early days of AIDS, etc ad nauseum.

And in every case: the FEAR epidemic proved more disturbing and disruptive than the disease itself.

These skeered young’uns simply haven’t lived long enough.

There never can be because there never can be a vaccine because there never will be one to protect from. Polio dead ends with humans, it was cornered and trapped. Corona jumps through species and could disappear only to come back as something else. Even if this corona were something to worry about you would have to come up with a vaccine that works on all variants and could be simultaneously applied to nearly every living creature on earth.

Wow. 19% still taking that BS that doesn’t prevent catching, transmitting a virus the “VidVax “ is supposed to do something against. 19% is amazingly high. I need a mailing list of these idiots. I will sell shares of both the Brooklyn Bridge and Eiffel Tower. Make them and bazillionares.

I have not seen proof that corona jumps through other species.

I heard a report that one cat, or maybe it was a dog? That caught it, and a bunch of BS about pangolins.

But it was designed specifically for humans.

They needed seven years in the lab to get this version of corona to go from bats to humans. At least four labs, including the famous one in China. Plus an additional lab to make the highly infectious and less lethal omicron version. Tests showed that the 19 virus crossed over to dogs, cats, papayas, and other animals, minerals, and vegetables.

OTOH, I’ve had the 19, and it ain’t like anything else I ever had - three weeks of awful misery. Doctor refused to give me the test, as that would be another data point of injection, then infection. And we can’t have that.

Apparently 19% of people are just flat stupid.

Designed from what? Do you remember that part?

You are confusing some issues here. The the type of enterovirus responsible for polio is not zoonotic. Humans have it and its passed from humans to humans.

The types of corona that were cobbled together to spur the plandemic is zoonotic, the fact that there is no known natural reservoir for the one they made is not in question. The reason that they were able to claim at different times that ALL dogs had it or that ALL cats, or ALL the cattle, or pangolins, and fruit bats, and a bunch of other crap had potentially spread the frankenvirus is because all kinds of things get various illnesses from corona virus and it eventually can potentially jump to people.

You remember all the hysteria about this or that bird flu? That is of course an influenza virus and influenza is zoonotic. The swine flu? It jumps back and forth from ducks to pigs over and over continually mutating until it finds a new form that can infect humans. No one is actually worried about the well being of the population of starlings worldwide.

A duck is not going to fly by and give you anything that will cause polio, in theory something like a weasel could carry a new deadly form of cold like the one that killed off many of our ancestors long ago.
