I’ll pass. On both.
Among the ways the Commie Cooties left me jaded, my suspicions of vaccines from here on out among the top things.
They’re about as effective as flu shots, if that. IIRC, one or another of the succession of internists who looked after my mother in the last twenty years of her life recommended flu shots. If any of my doctors ever suggested one, I’ve forgotten it.
Note from 15 May 2022 to 15 May 2023 there were recorded 134,000 COVID deaths in the United States. Of these, 29,600 were recorded between 15 May 2022 and 1 August 2022. This year, there were 5,200 COVID deaths recorded between 15 May 2023 and 1 August 2023. If we could validly extrapolate from last year, that suggests that the period from 15 May 2023 to 15 May 2024 will see 24,000 deaths. Annual influenza deaths for the seven calendar years preceding this pandemic (2013-2019) were 34,600 or so. Per capita Covid deaths in the Netherlands over the last 12 months have been 28 per 1,000,000. Were that to prevail here, there would be fewer than 10,000 COVID deaths annually here.
Vaccines are a cash cow for drug manufacturers who are too lazy to actually research products that might actually be useful. Keep people afraid and tend them like sheep.
When I was being heavily pressured to take the jab, my relatives and doctors all swore up and down that it was a “one and done” affair, so the risk would be limited. I knew that this was false, because even at that time there was a lot of discussions of variants which the original vaccine wouldn’t be effective against. Indeed within a month of those discussions they had announced the first booster, though they still had the audacity to say that it would end there. This was one of many things that solidified in my mind that doctors have no issues in lying to you, if they think it’s in a good cause.
Another key incident came when a doctor said I had to get the jab, even though I had already gotten COVID, because living without the jab would be far too dangerous even for people with natural immunity. He showed a chart with relative risks for vaxxed vs. non-vaxxed and those who had recovered from COVID versus those who had not. His argument was based around a very small change in relative risk between the vaxxed and not vaxxed among those with natural immunity. But what caught my eye was that there was a huge difference between vaxxed with no natural immunity and non-vaxxed with natural immunity. That is, according to his own chart I was something like 8 times less likely to get sick with COVID again than someone who had the jab but had not gotten COVID previously. Yet according to him those people were fine, and it was ME who was in danger. It couldn’t have been more obvious that all he cared about was upping vaccination numbers.
Wait, we’re not required to get flu shots every winter. They recommend it, particularly for older people, but it’s not mandatory. So what’s the problem with doing this for covid?
Pinky,
You know how CDC “recommendations” are used to set policy when convenient.
The CDC has only “recommended” that people get the jab. They never instituted a “get the jab or lose your job” policy themselves. But many people lost their jobs when their companies “independently” decided to institute such policies, in light of the CDC “recommendations.”
So what’s the problem with doing this for covid?
Well, these experimental treatments are known to cause myocarditis … there’s that.
Personally, I’ll pay as much attention to this CDC recommendation as I did when they recommended that I stop eating bacon.
[…] CDC DIRECTOR MANDY COHEN HAS THOSE ‘POSSESSED’ EYES […]
These recommendations are mandatory for some in healthcare.
Esp if Prez has said they need 90% or something compliance
I refused the jab. Over a two year period I got covit twice. The first time I was tired and lost my sense of taste and smell. The 2nd time, I had no symptoms at all.
Because i refuse the jab, i lost my teaching position at a University and was told that I was not allowed on a local Children’s Hospital property which is our largest client.
That’s why I don’t trust the CDC’s recommendations.
So what’s the problem with doing this for covid?
You haven’t been paying attention.
The stats for after jab myocarditis in males is pretty damning. So are the stats for after jab miscarriages at 20 weeks or earlier. The “vaccines” for COVID 19 are still experimental.
Better to keep Vitamin D3 levels up, maintain a good weight, exercise moderately; have restful sleep for immunity IMHO.
Exactly CAM! Why is the CDC recommending a treatment with such a bad track record? Why is the FDA allowing it to still be used?
JFK – I’m in something similar. I still cannot take clients at a local Catholic nursing home. That’s where I found out that Medicare I guess via Prez or office has said a certain percentage have to be vaxed or no Medicare money. Flu shots were mandatory to have clients before this. I won’t have clients there evidently
My son is in HealthCare, and there will undoubtedly be a lot of Medicare folks. He is in the group most likely to get myocarditis. He’s avoided it (supposedly) thus far, but do we really know?
.
I am guessing he will be required to have a booster in the Fall in order to keep his job, which he needs, in order to pay off his school debt…
“Why is the CDC recommending a treatment with such a bad track record? Why is the FDA allowing it to still be used?”
1) The FDA (and presumably CDC) get a lot of funding through pharma
2) The health care system is breaking under the weight of the health care needs of the elderly and chronically sick (in large part due to obesity and sarcopenia–muscle loss due to age and lack of exercise)

It isn’t. We have problems with efficient resource allocation, about which our politicians do nothing.

Government regulatory agencies get funding from the industries they’re supposed to regulate? Isn’t that called bribery?
CAG:
Yes

It’s a blatant disrespect for the governed when the governors don’t even try to hide their corruption.
One of the big controversies during the rollout of the vaxx jabs was how short the development times for them was compared to previous vaccines. One defense was that it was possible due to the greater amount of money spent. Of course, this can’t possibly shorten the amount of time necessary to see if long term side effects develop, just like you can’t spend nine times as much on pregnancy services to deliver babies one month after conception.
Whenever I hear that the increased spending allowed the vaccines to get out quicker, I always figure that this is in reference to bribes.
