Piers apologized for his statements on vaccine passports and added that it should be down to the individual if they want to protect themselves or not.
He did so in 2022 and not under duress (unlike many others who only changed their mind once it negatively affected them personally).
I think in such cases, we should forgive people who come to their senses. Otherwise we're just incentivizing them to double down on their position.
COVID has shown me that a totalitarian regime like Nazi Germany or Mao's China could be rolled out in most developed countries, and the self-proclaimed "progressive" and "caring" NPCs would be sending their neighbours to be murdered by the regime with glee.
That doesn't track.
Sure, the military and the NIH are involved (has been like this for decades), but I don't think it's correct to say the vaccine was "developed by the military and not pharma".
There are multiple leaks of internal Pfizer documents detailing clinical trial procedures, safety verification, production, distribution, and post market surveillance methods which reveals major irregularities and safety risks.
Why would Pfizer create confidential documents incriminating itself, than have those documents be "leaked", if the vaccine was developed and produced by the US military?
Don't worry, OP.
Once there is overwhelming and undeniable evidence that this picture has been doctored, Forbes will delete the post and article, Archive.org will wipe its registry, Google will remove it from its index, and they will all together say nobody ever claimed the picture was authentic.
Politifact will read:
"Picture of Kamala's arrival was generated using AI: False".
5 paragraphs in:
"... though the picture was altered, it was not generated from scratch using AI... nor is there any concrete evidence that the alterations were performed exclusively using AI."
"hmmm... no, sweety. Mass formation psychosis does not exist, mmkaay 💅"
(I can't believe some news outlets still have those "iT's nOt rEaL" articles up. The incompetence is baffling)
Nah. It's just that the US govt. is not letting a great opportunity to extend its power go to waste. It's the US' hyper-narcissistic and sometimes outright sociopathic "highschool culture" that has been driving kids to the edge for decades. There are no school shooting in Finland, Switzerland, Uruguay, Falklands, etc.
That's right-wing conspiracist RussianBotDisinformationPropagandaFakeNews. Just 2 weeks ago, Trudeau (pbuh) publicly stated that he never made, nor ever intended to make the covid vaccines mandatory. He's very handsome, you know?
To be fair, she espouses the notion that the reason we are housing transgender women in female prisons is to cater to male comfort and that the tendency to do so is primarily driven by "internalized misogyny". That idea is absolutely asinine. And she's a molecular geneticist! Not exactly the dumbest person in the room. It just goes to show how effective and insidious the woke mind virus is.
Everything else she said is pretty much on point, and given the current collective lunacy we are living in, I think she can be forgiven for the "internalized misogyny" comment. Baby steps, I guess.
There are a few instances where vaccine-induced immunity is better than natural immunity.
For example:
-
The HPV vaccine: the vax protein is easier for the body to recognize than that of the virus itself.
-
Tetanus vaccine: the toxin produced by the bacteria is so potent that the "natural infection" amount is not enough to trigger long-term immunization.
But they were claiming the COVID vaccine provided better immunization BEFORE they had the data needed to be able to reach that conclusion. And as we know today, it was bollocks.
You are absolutely correct.
If the vaccine really was 99.9999999% effective as they claimed in 2021, these numbers would be very different!
The thing is, THEY KNEW the vaccines were not that effective pretty early on. Here is a CDC leak from July 2021 stating in plain English (slide 12) the vaccine effectiveness (VE):
-
Against infection: 61%
-
Against mild illness: 75%
-
Against severe illness: 85%
(Edit: Oh. and btw, these numbers refer to the Alpha and Delta variants. The vaccine is almost worthless against the Omicron variant, dropping to a pathetic 8.8% effectiveness after 20 weeks)
When I first saw that leak, I realize that it was not only a small elite who suffered from a God complex and saw us as ignorant tax cattle who shouldn't be given the "luxury" of self-efficacy and self-determination. Nearly ALL institutions were engaging in these "noble lies" to "protect" us, dirty peasants, from ourselves. "So what if a few plebs die or are injured for life? The important thing is that we preserve the enterprise that guarantees us our wealth and power."
They also knew about the risk of severe adverse events like myocarditis and thrombosis from the vaccine even before they approved it for emergency use, btw. (I've read a leaked FDA inner memorandum where officials are urging the committee to restrict vaccination to at-risk populations only due to potential vaccine side effects, but the old link is dead and I cannot find it on my machine).
They are interested in extracting wealth. America's decline is just a side effect.
