Vaccine Redux
Here's everything you need to know about what is happening with vaccines.
First, it’s crazy. Basically they’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and hope that one of these concoctions knocks the life out of the pandemic. Personally, I am operating on 3 statements:
Vaccines do indeed seem to have effectiveness is quelling severe disease among at-risk demographics.
Vaccines do NOT seem to be stopping infection and therefore are having very minimal impact on the course of the pandemic.
The mass vaccination campaigns may have serious and unforeseen repercussions.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford described it best:
A private benefit and a limited public benefit. A great way to describe it.
Dr. J was retweeting a post from our good friend “Don Wolt” who notes that the UK is having a very different experience the U.S. right now. Also not: the UK is about 2 to 3 months ahead of us in the vax race.
We’ve noted in these pages that many localities show serious cases, hospitalizations and deaths among the fully vaccinated.
Dr. Redfield (the former CDC director) notes that 40% of all deaths in Maryland are from people fully vaccinated:
Alex Berenson notes that a recent UK report indicated: “N antibody levels appear to be lower in people who acquire infection following two doses of vaccination.” Alex describes the impact this might have:
What’s this mean? Several things, all bad. We know the vaccines do not stop infection or transmission of the virus (in fact, the report shows elsewhere that vaccinated adults are now being infected at much HIGHER rates than the unvaccinated).
What the British are saying is they are now finding the vaccine interferes with your body’s innate ability after infection to produce antibodies against not just the spike protein but other pieces of the virus. Specifically, vaccinated people don’t seem to be producing antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein, the shell of the virus, which are a crucial part of the response in unvaccinated people.
This means vaccinated people will be far more vulnerable to mutations in the spike protein EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN INFECTED AND RECOVERED ONCE (or more than once, probably).
It also means the virus is likely to select for mutations that go in exactly that direction, because those will essentially give it an enormous vulnerable population to infect. And it probably is still more evidence the vaccines may interfere with the development of robust long-term immunity post-infection.
Aside from that, everything is fine.
This is all around statement #3 above — the flip side of mass-vaccinating populations.
More trouble here. Data out of Germany suggest a LOT of other unknown side effects might be at play:
We’ll have more… this is just a quick round-up.
The "private benefit" from the vaccines assumes that the risk of vaccine injury is smaller than the benefit of reduced risk of death from covid. I don't think this is true -- it looks like the risk of injury/death from the vaccine swamps any benefit. https://trialsitenews.com/proof-that-the-cdc-is-lying-to-the-world-about-covid-vaccine-safety/
Two questions must be answered before hundred of millions of people are injected with another dose of the C19 magic potion:
Does vaxx after infection damage humoral immunity?
Does vaxx before infection impair the creation of humoral immunity?
And a third question:
If so to either...for how long?
