first of all, most of these people are media talking heads who were dumbing down what doctors were saying for the broader audience
second of all the vaccine *did* provide immunity until the variants evolved around it
third of all grumpyrabbit is a fucking idiot who purposefully shares misleading information because his audience is dumb enough to buy it
fourth : the covid vaccines have saved tens of millions of lives at this point, and we are on about 7 levels of you covidiots allowing covid to evolve past it requiring updated boosters to cover the difference
@jeffcliff@GrumpyRabbit Jeff I'm at lifelabs getting routine bloodwork done, the room is half the size it used to be and it's standing room only. Nobody wearing masks. Just everyone living in the moment
Dead wrong. The worst death rate of the whole pandemic here was only like 3-4 weeks ago. And the rate of death is more or less totally uncorrelated with the flu
@Yoruka@jeffcliff@GrumpyRabbit next someone will say they never got covid despite not getting vaxxed and never following anyone's gay little rules, jeff will respond BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU WEREN'T TESTING ALL THE TIME, and i'll say waow a disease so dangerous you need a test to know if you have it
@skylar@jeffcliff@GrumpyRabbit IDK what he's yapping I've seen people get corona after the vaccine, I've seen people get very sick after vaccine I've seen people die after vaccine. damn wouldn't you almost think it had no effect?? nahhhwww!!! No waaaaayyyy!!!
@jeffcliff@Yoruka@GrumpyRabbit it's so over for you vaccine enjoyers the only people left who trust big pharma and your so called public health experts are the extremely politics brained liberals who spend hours a day consooming liberal media vaccination rates across the board have been falling off as people start considering the risks and benefits of each instead of accepting everything the pharma sales rep told their doctor at a fancy dinner as gospel and you only have yourself to blame, for going apeshit over mandates with an obviously rushed and poorly tested vaccine during the chinese cringe aids
No shit. Covid is not something to fuck around with.
> damn wouldn't you almost think it had no effect??
No effect? No. It has saved millions of lives. But getting vaccinated in 2021 against a variant from 2020 doesn't help much against the late 2024 variants . THATS WHY BOOSTERS EXIST
@GrumpyRabbit@Yoruka@skylar The risk-benefit ratio isn't 'distorted' any more than any other vaccine -- it protects people starting from virtually 100% protection (from the variant they target) with a dropping efficiacy as it mutates around it thanks to you covidiots providing many hosts for it to do so in. The problem is YOU fuckhead
@jeffcliff@Yoruka@skylar But they claimed absolute effectiveness--probably to help make their distorted risk-benefit ratios appear to be valid. That's the problem.
> Not according to Pfizer's own internal documents, that they and the FDA tried to hide, but which a court ordered released.
1) Pfizer isn't the only company making such vaccines
2) pfizer doesn't have some kind of secret data that somehow makes the public findings / outcome of phase III trials not real. The pfizer data supports the use of vaccines as they protect people from infection, transmission, severity of disease and death.
Sink water?? This is just ignorance. Do they do this with other vaccines? Is the varicella vaccine just saline? How about gardasil?? Do doctors put chalk and sawdust and huck them as beta blockers?? Is the entirety of modern medicine just utterly faked??
@jeffcliff@Yoruka "pfizer doesn't have some kind of secret data that somehow makes the public findings / outcomes of phase III trials not real."
Actually, YES IT DOES. Studies can be--and are--faked quite regularly. It would have been easier to have simply admitted that you didn't even bother to look up the data that the Federal court forced them to release. But you don't have the intellectual integrity to do that.
"Pfizer isn't the only company making such vaccines"
True, but irrelevant: The flaw is in the mRNA technology itself, regardless of the manufacturer. And also in the nature of rhinoviruses in general, and of coronaviruses in particular: THERE ARE NO VACCINES OF ANY TYPE THAT CAN PROVIDE THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH PROTECTION AGAINST SUCH VIRAL EPIDEMICS, even if some individuals get some benefit.
Two reasons: Firstly, rhinoviruses mutate too quickly, and have antigenic mutability that is just far too high. This, all by itself, proves that the claims that the vaccine mandates were necessary for public safety to be KNOWING, WILLFUL LIES.
Secondly, mRNA vaccines are NOT sterilizing vaccines. A "sterilizing" vaccine is one that provides sterilizing immunity, which means it can prevent a pathogen from establishing an infection in the body entirely. Here are the key aspects of sterilizing vaccines:
1) Complete prevention: A sterilizing vaccine aims to eliminate a pathogen before it can replicate in the host
2) Antibody-mediated: Antibodies are the primary mediators of sterilizing immunity, though T cells may also contribute
3) Rapid response: The immune system neutralizes the pathogen quickly, ideally at the site of entry
4) Transmission prevention: By preventing infection, sterilizing immunity also stops the spread of the pathogen to new hosts
mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 do not provide sterilizing immunity:
There are several reasons for that--including pointed mentioned above--but the most important reason is because mRNA "vaccines" [sic] only present a single viral protein to the immune system, and NOT the virus itself. The immune system may use any and all aspects of a virus to create its response to a viral infection, not just a single protein.
A key dishonesty of the pro-mandate hoax was the failure to distinguish between the ability to reduce the severity of symptoms versus the ability to actually prevent the epidemic spread of the infection. Only sterilizing vaccines have any realistic hope of accomplishing the latter.
