The nation of Gibraltar, which achieved a 99 percent vaccine compliance rate as of June 1, is now seeing an astounding spike in cases.
The number of COVID cases per day have increased by an astounding 2500 percent since June 1, in the latest bit of evidence that the vaccine regime is not all it’s cracked up to be. As a result of the failure of the COVID-19 vaccine, Gibraltar is undergoing another lockdown of sorts , which is affecting public life for all of the countrymen who bought the Big Pharma propaganda and lined up for the shots.
The Gibraltar Ministry of Culture and the Office of Civil Contingencies has cancelled all large scale events until at least September due to the outbreak. They are also urging all private facilities to implement restrictions as well.
“The Government calls on private bars, restaurants and nightclubs to be cautious in the events that they hold, to strictly control numbers and to ensure that clients are vaccinated and have a negative COVID-19 test result,” the government wrote in their announcement of the restrictions.
“At this point in time the Government is not considering introducing legislation to control catering establishments and nightclubs, but this is of […]

the vaccinated are the spreaders and incubators
we are being shown more and more the vaccine doesnt do anything to stop transmission or prevent cases
and we see this more and more in the groupsmof highly vaccinated people
a whole group gets the vaccine and then most or all of them come down with covid shortly thereafter
they were all fine before the vax, they get the vax and then the whole group gets it
its a regular occurrence, its repeating itself all over, europe, here, israel
yes
That isn’t how mutation works. When we’re talking about viral mutation, it’s based on the number of replications. For every X number of replications, a mutation (mistake) will occur. Most of those mutations will be either neutral or bad for the virus. If one is particularly beneficial (i.e. allowing for more replication), it becomes more dominant by crowding out others.
Every replication is an opportunity for a mutation that benefits the virus. So controlling viral replication is key. Best way to do so is to prevent transmission between people. Each person who becomes infected can see upwards of 100 billion replications happen in their body. If you can block 1 person from getting infected, that’s 100 billion fewer opportunities for a mutation. For those who do get infected, early intervention that limits the number of replications in their body is also helpful. Monoclonal antibody therapy is the most effective available treatment for COVID-19. It’s what they gave President Trump when he was so sick with COVID that he was hospitalized. 24 hours later, he was walking out of the hospital calling monoclonals a miracle cure.
The vaccines help with our goal in two ways. First, they reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19 upon exposure. That protection is reduced with the Delta variant, but it’s still pretty good (estimates are all over the place, but most of the literature seems to indicate 60 - 80% efficacy in blocking transmission for Moderna and Pfizer with Delta). The second is that even those who do get infected have a head start on the virus. Their body is already producing antibodies, which help control the infection. Their body just needs to ramp up a bit more to completely clear it. That’s why those who are fully vaccinated and become infected anyway (”breakthrough infections”) tend to have far less severe illness than unvaccinated people, and it clears up much faster.
Vaccines are up!
Cases are up!

Forgot one talking point: side effects including death are also up, US Vaers at 12,000 deaths by the jab, 500000 serious side effects. EU reporting, 20,000 deaths, but they say something about risk/ reward BS.
What a ridiculous fear porn title and lede.
From 1 to <30 cases may be a “2500% increase” but in a population of 34,000 that’s what? A .0009 case rate?
How many were hospitalized? Died? Did they have comorbidities?
I’m sick of the media on both sides. It’s all clickbait fear porn all the time. Almost zero truthful journalism left in the world.
Yep.
Something many of us have noticed for some time, now.
Incredible, isn’t it?
Because CDC’s policy recommendations are determined by political appointees who don’t necessarily do what makes the most sense. It took them a year to acknowledge that outdoor spread of COVID-19 is virtually non-existent in their mask recommendations. It was literally over a year since all the scientific literature concluded that outdoor spread basically never happens before CDC lifted a finger to update their guidance on outdoor activities and masking. Yet when one small study indicated there may be some unknown level of risk of vaccinated persons spreading the Delta variant if they become infected, suddenly CDC says fully vaccinated people need to mask up indoors. Looking at the non-peer review study they based that off of makes you really shake your head, since the study itself listed numerous confounding factors for their data.
Long story short, CDC is fine when they’re just compiling the data given to them by the states. And that’s most of the data they publish. But their policy recommendations are often idiotic at best and don’t really follow the published literature very well. If you look at Gibraltar objectively, it’s one of the safest places on Earth to travel from a COVID-19 perspective.
1 COVID-19 death in the whole country since the middle of March. Prior to vaccination, they ran up one of the highest COVID-19 deaths per 1 million population on Earth (2,821). After? A single death in ~5 months. But of course you won't find that in the headline because that wouldn't build fear.
Ok, the numbers you present definitely put things in perspective. However, given the Population of Gibraltar is almost FULLY VACCINATED, one issue of interest is... how are they still getting infected?
Did the infections come from unvaccinated residents or visitors? Or did it come from the vaccinated population?
Also, how severe are these infections? Did they discover this because of continuous testing? Or did they discover this because scores of infected people developed symptoms?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Yup.
“My medicine won’t work unless you take it too.”
And magical thinking, the shot magically doesn’t work if someone else doesn’t take it.
That was once termed cultish belief.
“Beamog won’t give us good crops unless all believe in him!”
19 wordy posts in the last 2 hours. Obviously this is his full time job. Just posting to this forum.
Probably the only forum around that still allows alternate points of view.
They can’t have that, so they come here and spam the threads with pharmaceutical and CDC talking points trying to paint us as lunatics for not bowing to Zod.
Must be frustrating. They haven’t gotten a single convert since they began their spam war.
Notice they never address the potential long term risks of the jab? They focus on the reduction in deaths.
Well the fact is that in a place like Gibraltar, where the Covid virus has been ubiquitous since the beginning, most of the people most likely to die are already dead. Most of those getting the jab already had natural immunity.
But now, after the jab, they are testing positive for the delta variant. Coincidence? Did the jab actually make them more vulnerable to the mutations?
I am not anti vaccination even for COVID. I do think it is not suitable for everyone and should be reserved mostly for those who are at high risk. I understand the panic about breakthrough cases is just that panic. The actual events are small and do not lead to severe outcomes.
I do know the ways to prevent the spread of a virus is to reduce the number of hosts. That is accomplished by establishing immunity either naturally or through immunizations. Another way is quarantine the sick. There are also viruses that rapidly kill off the local host population preventing further contagion.
I won’t be getting the vaccine. I have adverse reactions to many medications and am taking a wait and see attitude about the shots. I will never understand the refusal of so many to acknowledge the availability of preventative and early treatment. Nor will I understand the dismissal of the actual success of the vaccines even if precautions should be noted.
Thanks for an excellent post.
Well said. I agree.
👍
It’s funny when he posts stuff like I love President Trump!
The fact that those important facts/questions remain unaddressed by the various articles is a clue.
Another nothing-burger dressed up as rib-eye.
I just checked the Covid Worldometer for Gibralter. 0 deaths since March 13th.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/gibraltar/
As to how they are still getting infections; if you add the 1% unvaxxed to the 5% of poor vaccine uptake due to age or immunocompromising illness, you still have about 3500 people with little to no immunity.
And it is a tourist/vacay spot. Without really specific demographics on the infected, it’s hard to say what the cause is, but I can speculate that it might be similar to the outbreak in Provincetown during “Bear Week”.
Yes, I saw that. 26 cases. Out of how many are counted in the 99% that are fully vaxxed?
Thousands? Millions?
OH MY GOD!!! 2500% increase!!! Imagine what happens when we go from 0 cases to 2 cases. That’s infinity!!! WE’RE DOOOOOOOOMED.
