The reported breakthrough cases and hospitalizations, at least in the US, are complete gibberish due to the way they're compiled. An unvaccinated person who enters a hospital, for any reason, will be swabbed and if they show positive they'll be marked down as a Covid case. A vaccinated person will not be swabbed unless they're literally dying of pneumonia and even then they might not be. The vaccines are safe and effective therefore there is no need to check whether they're safe or effective, checkmate.So I decided to break down one of these "Unvaxxed account for nearly all our covid deaths" articles.
This one, specifically. So at first they decide to lump in all 11,600 deaths over the whole damn pandemic, most of which there was no shot available. This is a bit like starting the timer for one sprinter's 100m dash from when they were flying over to Japan, and letting their opponent be timed at the start of the race, and then tell them they are terrible.
So, they do admit to some vax deaths, 26 to be exact. Now, the shots were more widely available around when? March or April? Time kind of loses meaning, but I went with March. Going by the average rate of death that was about 511 death. So 26/511 is around 5% of the deaths. I mean this sounds like the shot worked, right? Well, Alabama does have some of the worst uptake, still only around 33% vaxxed. At the start of March it was around 7% vaxxed, April was 15% and then by May it reached 28% and sort of limped to 33% from there. I feel like I should average these weights together now to get a better sense of the average vax percent (around 24%), but sure, it could have helped some of the olds who took it, probably.
They could probably still sell a number like 95% of the deaths were unvaxxed recently (even though it should still be considered in relation to its expected share of the population, where it's 15% of what's expected), but they just want to get greedy and go with 0.22% of the deaths, even though that's so wildly biased.
Present with a broken leg? OD'd on Fentanyl? Have a brain tumor? Have you had the jab sir? No? Well we need to swab you. I'm sorry to have to tell you sir that you have Covid-19 and that's what we'll be writing down as the reason for your admission. They want that 13K Fed money and the CDC really wants to juice the numbers to scare the sheep into getting the jab.
Compare the numbers reported in Israel and the UK with the US. Is there something unique about America that vaccinated people aren't catching Covid and aren't ending up in hospital? Of course not.
Rogan is the closest thing to a covid skeptic who is able to reach an audience without getting immediately deplatformed. As a result, he's considered a gateway to the alt-right and q. So people like hasan want to cut him off from the internet cause they're budget fascists.
Type something like "Joe Rogan don't take vaccine" and you'll end up with nothing but hitpieces, but not the original video where he said something along the lines of he doesn't think young, healthy people need it (I can't find the original video).
The scientific paper he was referring to discussed an issue that was completely non controversial in virology prior to 2020. Non sterilizing vaccines are inherently dangerous because they allow transmission, replication and shedding of virus while alleviating the worst symptoms. This is NOT good, in fact it has the potential to be really, really bad.
Respiratory viruses tend to become more infectious but less virulent over time as they respond to the evolutionary pressure presented by human behavior. Strains that make people sick quickly do not usually spread well. People who are unwell do no go to work, do not go to cinemas or gyms or restaurants. They stay in their sick beds or they end up dead, and dead people are a really poor vector for infection. This is the likeliest explanation as to why SARS 1 died out, it was too deadly.
Non sterilizing vaccines interfere with this evolutionary path. Deadlier strains can transmit among the vaccinated without debilitating their hosts. Each vaccinated person acts as a gain of function medium for the virus. The vaccines give enough protection to prevent the usual cytokine storm that leads to severe illness, but not enough to prevent replication and shedding.
Thankfully there are no signs that this is happening with Covid, at least not yet. Probably because there is a large enough number of the unvaccinated to prevent it. We know that natural immunity to Covid is extraordinarily effective at preventing transmission and shedding, and we have sufficient natural herd immunity to prevent a no shit ZA strain. Saying that we don't know what effect the vaccines are having on people who have already caught Covid, recovered, but have gotten the jab. Like a lot of things we aren't looking into this because, again, the vaccines are safe and effective so there's no reason to.
