They're not supposed to prevent infections, they're supposed to stop people from dying from infections.Well post a link soy boy. Over 78% of eligible Israelis (factoring out children) have been vaccinated. You are entitled to your opinion but not your own facts
Maybe you can try to explain away this one too :
BOOM! Sen. Ron Johnson Drops Truth-Bomb on Senate Floor - 63% of UK Delta Deaths in Last 7.5 Months Were Fully Vaccinated (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) continued to drop truth bombs in the US Senate on the coronavirus pandemic and the government-certified COVID vaccines.www.thegatewaypundit.com
Hey I want vaccines or pills to work but so far they are woefully not very effective at preventing infections.
Since when has the US had any clue about slowing down Covid. They lead the league is all statistics.
‘The last major wave’? |
This is the part of the newsletter where I need to emphasize that these declines may not persist. Covid’s two-month cycle is not some kind of iron law of science. There have been plenty of exceptions. |
In Britain, for example, caseloads have seesawed over the past two months, rather than consistently fallen. In the U.S., the onset of cold weather and the increase in indoor activities — or some other unknown factor — could cause a rise in cases this fall. The course of the pandemic remains highly uncertain. |
But this uncertainty also means that the near future could prove to be more encouraging than we expect. And there are some legitimate reasons for Covid optimism. |
The share of Americans 12 and over who have received at least one vaccine shot has reached 76 percent, and the growing number of vaccine mandates — along with the likely authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 — will increase the number of vaccinations this fall. Almost as important, something like one-half of Americans have probably had the Covid virus already, giving them some natural immunity. |
Eventually, immunity will become widespread enough that another wave as large and damaging as the Delta wave will not be possible. “Barring something unexpected,” Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former F.D.A. commissioner and the author of “Uncontrolled Spread,” a new book on Covid, told me, “I’m of the opinion that this is the last major wave of infection.” |
Covid has not only been one of the worst pandemics in modern times. It has been an unnecessarily terrible pandemic. Of the more than 700,000 Americans who have died from it, nearly 200,000 probably could have been saved if they had chosen to take a vaccine. That is a national tragedy. |
Covid also isn’t going to disappear anytime soon. It will continue to circulate for years, many scientists believe. But the vaccines can transform Covid into a manageable disease, not so different from a flu or common cold. In the past few weeks, the country appears to have moved closer to that less grim future. |
Whatever this autumn brings, the worst of the pandemic is almost certainly behind us. |
The Epoch Times is a Chinese owned media organization supported by the Falun Gong religious movement. They are rated as an organization with an extreme right wing bias and a disseminator of questionable information. While there is a grain of truth in what they are saying about already scientifically proven reduced efficacy, I highly doubt their numbers are correct. It’s embellishment for the sake of sensationalism.Vaccine Antibodies Decline 7 Months After Second Pfizer Shot: US Study
That is the changed talking point now, since they were shown to not work at being real vaccines, preventing infection, just like Global Warming became Climate Changewhen a cooler year was registered.
Since only the moderators can censor or remove your posts others must try to discredit them by 'fact checking' their sources. The truth is the vaccines are not working as promised. Fact Checking is becoming a repeated tactic of the left, and I am surprised you continue to do this to Bob's posts Eco.
Bill. This is a highly optimistic forecast for the US. I can only see it happening if there is a solid lockdown of the US borders and lot more US citizens get vaccinated. I doubt this will happen. Australia’s major cities have been in lockdown for almost 300 days and can’t limit the spread of the Delta variant. New Zealand just admitted defeat after their strict lengthy lockdowns and have accepted the fact that they will have to live with Covid rather than eliminate it. We can‘t contain its spread in Canada, despite our best efforts. Even Israel, with its third booster shot regime is still experiencing new infections. Until the rest of the world is vaccinated, the US will never be free from new infections. The worst of the pandemic is certainly not behind the US or the world yet.
On the contrary Chico. I don’t focus on the credability of Bob’s posts. Bob has always treated me in a civil manner and I hope he thinks the same of me. We agree on some things and differ on others. The Epoch Times is a source of questionable journalism with their own agenda. False information doesn’t become true information because it’s published worldwide by questionable sources. The information they publish has to be properly vetted by comparing it to credible scientific sources. I know peer reviewed is a scientific concept you take exception to, but it is one of the foundations of credible science. Having worked in a scientific field, I know the value of peer reviewed science. We used it to to protect the people, property, and environment when responding to environmental disasters.
So what was "questionable" was your implying it was "Chinese Owned" - Would you care to retract that now that it was fact checked and shown to be false ?
The article quoted two researchers, one from Stanford and one from Emory University.
Says who? I believe you are showing your own bias with the above answer or just repeat a rating organization with its own agenda. I have crossed checked many articles from Epoch Times against other sources and found them to be more credible than many like the Washington Post or CNN. Dont get me started on the old Grey Lady. Their credibility was shot a long time ago. Back to the subject. What is the point of mandates if the scientific community is saying the vaccines dont keep you safe. https://100percentfedup.com/cdc-dir...prevent-transmission-why-have-mandates-video/
