With the impending arrival of the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccines approved yesterday, some Americans are now gaming out when to get their dose—right away while the summer wave is peaking, a bit later in the fall to maximize protection for the coming winter wave, or maybe a few weeks before a big family event at the end of the year? Of course, the group pondering such a question is just a small portion of the US.

Only 22.5 percent of adults and 14 percent of children in the country are estimated to have gotten the 2023–2024 vaccine. In contrast, 48.5 percent of adults and 54 percent of children were estimated to have gotten a flu shot. The stark difference is despite the fact that COVID-19 is deadlier than the flu, and the SARS-CoV-2 virus is evolving faster than seasonal influenza viruses.

Am I wrong in my view of the jabs? Are they in fact a Good Thing? Should I run down to Rite-Aid and get myself stabbed?

No. HELL no. For a quick overview of the situation re: the COVID jabs, here's Steve Kirsch with A quick summary of what we know so far (see his other writings, or those of many other honest observers, doctors, scientists, etc. for detailed proof):

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/the-virus-was-safer-than-the-vaccine

. 1 - The COVID vaccines were all downside risk for no benefit. The vaccine provided no protection against hospitalization or death, and actually increased your risk of getting COVID. So there was no benefit whatsoever.They all (except maybe Novavax) increased your all-cause mortality, something a vaccine is never supposed to do.

. 2 - Virus safer than the shots. The adverse event profile is, in general, much higher for those taking the jabs than for those infected with COVID.

. 3 - The medical community is willfully blind to the harms. It is appalling that the medical literature refuses to accept 1 and 2.

. 4 - COVID shots are not equally safe, but nobody will publish the relative brand safety data. There are significant mortality differences between the vaccine brands. It is beyond shameful that none of the health authorities anywhere in the world will expose the numbers or even want to see them. Hiding that safety information is not in the public interest.

. 5 - They need to stop hiding the data. As long as they keep the record level data secret on vaccines and mortality, nobody should take them.

. 6 - They need to acknowledge that fully unvaccinated kids are healthier. Every study in the peer-reviewed literature shows fully unvaccinated kids are healthier than their fully vaccinated counterparts.

. 7 - Vaccines are the primary cause of autism and a large number of chronic disorders. The data also points very strongly that vaccines are the major cause of sexual orientation and gender dysphoria conditions. A lot of people can’t accept that but the data is stunning and cannot be explained away.

. 8 - It’s hard to get the truth published nowadays. It is ridiculously hard to get a paper published in a peer-reviewed journal that goes against mainstream beliefs.

. 9 - The Czech Republic data where we found that Moderna increases all-cause mortality by 30%. If that’s wrong, what’s the right number and how come nobody knows what it is?

. 10 - You can’t keep hiding the truth. Sooner or later, however, we will see papers emerge that validate everything I’ve said above. I just can’t predict when that will happen.
