It’s Undeniable, Universal Vaccination will Not Stop Covid
There is No Justification for Mandates
For months now we have been told the lie that we are currently in a “Pandemic of the Unvaccinated”. The implication is that the only reason Covid is still around is that a stubborn minority won’t get vaccinated, and that if they did case rates would plummet and the disease would vanish all together.
While speaking from the White House in September, President Biden made the following remarks:
"This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and it's caused by the fact that despite Americans having an unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost five months, free vaccines have been available in 80,000 locations, we still have over 70 million Americans who have failed to get a single shot”… “In a country as large as ours, that 25% minority can cause an awful lot of damage. They are causing a lot of damage."
This statement is an outright lie and factually inaccurate. It’s being propagated to scapegoat a large minority of the population, and it echoes some of history’s most vile and even genocidal moments. The reality is that no level of vaccination will eliminate Covid.
This is because it is now crystal clear to everyone paying attention that "breakthrough" cases aren't rare at all, and 4 to 6 months out the vaccine is rather useless at preventing infection. This is not to say the vaccine serves no purpose. The vaccine shows significant, durable efficacy against hospitalization and death. As i've written before as with regard to Dr. Prager not taking it, I believe it is foolish to forgo the vaccine if you are elderly or otherwise have underlying comorbidities.
But it must be admitted, this is not what we the public were sold in the spring. We were sold a vaccine that was “spectacularly effective” at preventing infection and which could lead to the elimination of Covid from the country on par with the elimination of Measles and Polio!
Instead what we ended up with is a vaccine which does not prevent infection or spread. It still has a use, as stated above, but then why in the hell are we forcing it on college students and teenagers, or any relatively healthy person for that matter? It provides a private benefit, not a public one, so why is it mandated?
Let’s take a look a just how much has changed since the beginning of the year:
What was Promised
Reuters February 17, 2021 - Israeli study finds Pfizer vaccine 95% effective against Covid-19 (symptomatic infection)
NY Times February 13, 2021 Op Ed - 7 Myths About the Coronavirus Vaccine
Explained the covid vaccines were 95% effective against symptomatic Covid-19 infection and compared this to the efficacy the the polio vaccine at between 80% and 90% effective and explained those vaccines “changed the world”
ABC News April 9th, 2021 - What to know about expected but rare “breakthrough” Covid cases
“Health departments and scientific studies have documented what's known as "breakthrough" cases, or people who got infected or sick despite being vaccinated. Such instances are exceptionally rare.”
“Dr. William Schaffner, professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, called the roughly 95% efficacy rates for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines “spectacularly effective."
March 11th, 2021 Dr. Fauci interview on Rachael Maddow:
“When you have infectious diseases, the three ways you go at them are that you can control them, you can eliminate them, or you can eradicate them. It is unlikely that we will eradicate this, at least not in the near future. You can possibly eliminate it if, in fact, you get the overwhelming majority of the population vaccinated, and you do get this umbrella of herd immunity.”
You can watch this portion of the interview HERE.
For reference Measles, Malaria and Smallpox are among diseases which have been eliminated in the US. We aren’t even close to this with Covid, and with these vaccines we never will be.
March 29th, 2021 CDC Director Walensky interview on Rachael Maddow:
“Our data from the CDC today suggests, [sic], that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don`t get sick, and that is not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real world data.”
April 28th, 2021 Dr. Fauci interview on the today show:
“You can get infected, and will get infected, if you put yourself at risk.” “You are propagating the outbreak, because it is likely that you, even if you have no symptoms that you may inadvertently, and innocently, then infect someone else.” responding to podcast host Joe Rogan’s suggestion that young people not get the COVID-19 vaccine. Implying if you got the vaccine it would prevent infection and spread.
We were sold a vaccine which would prevent infection, stop the spread of the dissease, build herd immunity, and end the pandemic in it’s tracks.
That’s not what we’ve ended up with, instead…
What We Got
A Vaccine with Waning Protection Against Infection:
“Effectiveness declined gradually thereafter, with the decline accelerating after the fourth month to reach approximately 20% in months 5 through 7 after the second dose. Effectiveness against symptomatic infection was higher than effectiveness against asymptomatic infection but waned similarly.”
“Vaccine effectiveness of BNT162b2 against infection waned progressively from 92% (95% CI, 92-93, P<0·001) at day 15-30 to 47% (95% CI, 39-55, P<0·001) at day 121-180, and from day 211 and onwards no effectiveness could be detected (23%; 95% CI, -2-41, P=0·07).”
Which the media is starting to report on, including just yesterday:
October 28th, 2021 - Bloomberg - Vaccinated people are just as likely as unvaccinated people to spread the delta variant to contacts in their household, a yearlong study found
October 28th, 2021 - The Guardian - Vaccination does not reduce risk of passing Covid to cohabiters, study suggests.
The study these articles reference from The Lancet:
“All 53 PCR-positive contacts were exposed in household settings and the SAR (Secondary Attach Rate) for all delta variant-exposed household contacts was 26% (95% CI 20–32). SAR was not significantly higher in unvaccinated (38%, 95% CI 24–53) than fully vaccinated (25%, 18–33) household contacts. We estimated vaccine effectiveness at preventing infection (regardless of symptoms) with delta in the household setting to be 34% (bootstrap 95% CI –15 to 60)”
This data is corroborated by Government Reports:
It can be seen as plain as day in the UK’s Weekly Vaccine Surveillance Reports.
Even back during the Summer, I created this table of Vaccine Efficacy Trends in Israeli using Israeli Case Survaillence and Vaccine Uptake data.
And bolstered by studies showing infections in the vaccinated have the same viral loads as the unvaccinated, implying similar levels of transmission:
“Our results show that the vaccine is initially effective in reducing viral loads of Delta breakthrough infections, with a magnitude of 15-fold [CI: 4-53] (average over the first two months post vaccination), consistent with its initial effectiveness against pre-Delta variants6,7. However, this viral-load effectiveness declines with time post vaccination, significantly decreasing already after 3 months and effectively vanishing after about six months.”
“There were no statistically significant differences in mean Ct-values of vaccinated (UeS: 23.1; HYT: 25.5) vs. unvaccinated (UeS: 23.4; HYT: 25.4) samples.”
Shedding of Infectious SARS-CoV-2 Despite Vaccination
“RT-PCR Ct values <25 had previously been associated with shedding of infectious SARS-CoV-2. We observed low Ct values (<25) in 212 of 310 fully vaccinated (68%; Figure 1A) and 246 of 389 (63%) unvaccinated individuals.”
Even the CDC announced this in July:
And this is why on the country and county level, vaccination rate is showing no effect on case rate:
“At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days.”
“Across the US counties too, the median new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the last 7 days is largely similar across the categories of percent population fully vaccinated”
It is undeniable, these vaccines will not prevent invections or transmission of the virus. The Covid end game is now clear, the only method to build herd immunity will be natural infection, and nearly everyone in the county will eventually become infected. We did not end up with what we were promised.
More importantly, the fact the vaccines don't stop infection and spread should invalidate any calls for mandates! As well as any push to vaccinate healthy children in the short term.
And yet we are firing people who won't take the vaccine, including and most egregiously those who have already had Covid. We are firing policemen and firemen for refusing to take the shot. We are firing doctors and nurses, and intentionally reducing hospital capacity even as we enter the winter respiritory disease season, because they won’t get jabbed.
Colleges are denying education to perfectly healthy students who don't need the vaccine. Gavin will soon do the same for all students in CA! None of this serves any purpose because the vaccines Do Not Work in the ways most vaccines work.
Regardless of whether you've been vaccinated it would appear you pose similar infection risk 4 to 6 months out from vaccination. When I say the vaccines don't work, that's what it means.
It doesn't mean it's unsafe, it doesn't mean the majority of adults wouldn't benefit from taking it. It means universal vaccination, as a policy to stop Covid, Will Not Work.
Anyway 0 and 2…
I have a question, I noticed that you end your articles with "0 and 2" every single time and I have not been able to figure out what it means. What is "0 and 2"?
