If you look at CNN today, you can see a central theme when looking at COVID (most specifically around the priority to get vaccinated. Specifically, there is pressure to downplay the questionable efficacy and safety of the vaccine itself.
- You will see how VAERS reporting is being under-played and under-reported.
- Nevermind the fact that most reactions will not get reported anyhow, you are to now believe that reporting is exaggerated.
- Considering the fact that none of us can sue the government or the vaccine producer for damages (as one might do if injured or killed by a gun), one should be very worried about all reporting since it seems clear that true numbers are unknown.
- Further, there is anecdotal evidence (because nobody with the means is actually tracking or reporting statistics) that vaccines are not conferring the immunity expected. In fact I am frequently hearing stories of how “fully vaccinated people” are getting the actual disease (and I do not believe these to be from the vaccine themselves mind you).
- Also, disease variants are emerging so the thinking is that this will become like the seasonal flu vaccine where you need to get boosted periodically.
Oh, and keep in mind that the vaccine is not even officially licensed by the FDA. Emergency use authorization ultimately means that the vaccine is not actually licensed to treat Covid (or certified as safe for that matter).
