If vax effectiveness wanes significantly, and does little to nothing to stop transmission as they have publicly admitted, how did the vax save many lives? That doesn't make much logical sense to me.

Based on epidemiological data of vaccinated vs unvaccinated. It does appear that unvaccinated over 50 have a greater death rate than vaccinated. However, I think that data is still evolving.

After they got called out for misleading the public, the cdc changed their guidelines for reporting covid deaths (Nov 22).

Pretty much any report previous to that is tainted.

But if a person gets vaxxed they will eventually get covid and die if they are going to. Vax doesn't protect from getting covid whatsoever and does very little to protect from severe illness. The vax is formulated against the original strain which was around for a couple months of the scamdemic. I still don't see how it saved many lives. And it's got a horrendous side-effect profile.

Theoretically, the per capita death rate should be an indication of vaccine effectiveness against death. There are several problems, though, and CDC method of reporting deaths is a big one. The other is that they appear to using mathematical gymnastics to make it look worse. Example: they started using mortality rate ratios to describe the differences between vaccine status. They report 14x more likely to die if unvaccinated (mortality rate ratio of 14.1).

BUT....
The death rate for unvaccinated is somewhere around 1.4 per 100k depending on week (98% of these are old or significant comorbidities)
The death rate for vaccinated is somewhere around 0.1

1.4 divided by .1 and your rr is 14. If they state 1.4 vs 0.1 it isn't nearly as scary as 14x more.

That and covid deaths may be overestimated by 70-80% due to the reporting practices prior to last Nov.

That and the healthy vaccine user bias. Healthy people get vaccines way more often, whereas unhealthy fat, rural people don't. It was never an apple to apples comparison.

Definitely. Maybe also bias that people who get vaccinated are more likely to seek medical attention and test. Those that aren't vaccinated wait longer to get treatment in severe cases and probably had millions of cases that went untested.

I don’t know what to think about all of this. I got the vax when it first came out because I was old enough to be first. I was miserable for five days! I have not received any of the boosters. I’m obviously old, my BMI is 29, overweight but technically not obese. I’ve smoked for fifty years. If anyone should have died I guess it would be me.

I will say that I think it was rather fascist of the government to fire people for not getting the shot. I refuse to get any boosters. My wife tested positive but I never did. It’s just a weird situation and mostly served to make many of us lose all confidence in so called experts.

The virus did/does have weird effects with highly varied severity. I won't go into detail but I think we'll learn of more long-term effects. Not chicken little stuff, btw.

I think they lost everyone with draconian measures and nonsense like "prior infection doesn't confer immunity". I don't care if someone wants a vaccine or booster but they crossed the line when they forced it.

I need to read his book so not saying he is or is not a hack, but the Eco Health Alliance deal sure appears shady. Not sure I trust their take either. Trusting anything from them is trusting the fox in the henhouse. I've read the PNAS article and there are definitely parts that remain debatable. I'll have to go back and check but I think that article came from an Academy member and they have mechanisms to push those articles through without as robust a review. From personally reading all the primary literature, I don't feel the debate is fully settled. News agencies are motivated to promote any anti-lab leak literature they can find. Like the Hunter story, they wrongly buried this one without full investigation. Same for the vaccines.

The level of potential coincidence is just too high. Effective gain of function research (even if not technical--splitting hairs) in a lab in the city of origin of a virus that eventually breaks out and behave abnormally by immediately spreading rapidly through a new host.

That and during the original WHO investigation there was 1 US rep was Peter Daszak from EcoHealth Alliance.

I've wondered all along if we were working with China to cover this mess up.

  • IDGAF what your opinion of me is.
  • A governmental entity that deals with national energy policy and nuclear power and wepons issuing an official opinion on a viral outbreak is akin to your opinion on weather balloons: uneducated and irrelevant.
  • "Low confidence" = "We have no idea, but we kind of maybe think this could be something."
Now run along back to your coloring books while you bitch about a shot that you didn't get.

Yep, me, the FBI, and DOE (fingers all over various labs) are all conspiracy theorists while you are all knowing.

Lmao, it's OK you were duped and part of the mindless borg. Lots of people were.

This is just one issue of the pandemic, but the left acted with the same piousness and disdain for facts and truth about everything. Masks, schools, vaccines, airborne transmission,covid on surfaces, outdoor transmission., etc.. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Every. Step. Of. The. Way. How anyone trusts our leftist federal government about anything is beyond me, especially "public health".

Anyway, wasn't it Fauci that secured the funding for the gain of function research in Wuhan? Throw that man in jail.

It'd be interesting to see all the politicians, academics, biotech,, and Chinese that profited from covid.
