The vaxx had little to do with covid. Obviously if it had people would not be getting it in such high numbers after they were vaxxed.
sigh.
lets get this through our heads. [colorred] the vaccine was NEVER about stopping the spread of covid-19 at all. all the vaccines were ever even
supposed to do was to make the effects of getting it less severe. and by doing so keeping hospitals from being overwhelmed, (just like an actual,
proper lock down, and wearing masks would have done, and was all about. too bad the US and Canada failed to both actually enforce wearing masks, as
well as failed to do an actual lock down), and cause less harm, especially death to the person who is vaccinated. in fact they were very clear about
that, especially when Biden, Trudeau and the governments and government organizations under them started to spread the lie, and fake news, that once
enough people were vaccinated it would not spread, and thus go away. while the WHO and pharmaceutical companies were very clear that a vaccinated
person would still be able to catch the virus, and still spread the illness to others. [/colorred]
Take another sigh if you like, but the above is complete nonsense. Have you ever looked at the Pfizer study or the pre authorization literature
at
all?
The Pfizer study supposedly determined that people who took their product were less likely to develop symptomatic covid 19 (which was made even
clearer in the pre authorization literature submitted to the FDA). Defined as having at least two mild symptoms (as defined by the WHO) such as cough,
sore throat, headache and so on and a positive confirmatory test (PCR from memory, not sure of the details of this such as amplification rates).
Although the thousands of symptomatic people that
weren't tested seems to allow some inherent potential for bias in the design of the study and
the whistle blower claims further damage any credibility it might have had.
It (supposedly) demonstrated a risk reduction of 0.84% in the treatment group of developing
mild symptoms of covid. So for every 238 doses
administered one less person would develop
mild symptoms.
Where in all of this did it say it lessened the severity of the symptoms of covid?
Likewise the "it will stop you getting hospitalised or dying from covid" claim. This was just snatched from the nether regions of bureaucrats and
pseudo "x-spurts" with insufficient clinical data to support it. As the relevant group boiled down to around 170 people, which is way underpowered to
start talking mortality or hospitalisation outcomes. Though even then, there was actually higher mortality among the group that took their product and
review shows there were more severe events. Which completely contradicts the claims.
As to masks there is no support for that either. The "better" studies have basically been torn to shreds. Though masks could work, just not the type
people were told to use. It's baffling when "x-spurts" promote such nonsense because it really shows an ignorance of what an air borne virus is or how
it propagates. Wonder if the CDC is still propping up their irrelevant and or bogus studies. Wilensky's claims of >80% (or whatever it was) protection
was based on a particulate study irrelevant to viral spread and they were propping up a school study which didn't take into account differences in
school terms. The Bangladesh study (generally promoted as the best of its type) has been rightfully savaged. They generally rely on self reporting and
ignore confounders.
Telling people to wear masks outdoors while going about their normal day to day is either a form of insanity, or a power trip.
Looking at places that went all "third Reich" such as Australia, lockdowns achieved nothing useful either apart from delaying the inevitable while
destroying societies and economies (they caused immense harms that don't get much press for obvious reasons). Especially when compared overall with
places like Sweden.
The "lockdown" strategies re our elderly and vulnerable could only have been designed to inflict maximum harm, they were that ill thought out. In
hindsight, with what we now know, the real experts that proposed the Great Barrington Declaration were right and have been vindicated.
