1- “Despite the state’s high rate of vaccination against COVID-19, cases and hospitalizations continue to rise,..”

Welp (cont).

2- “.. with health officials pointing to waning immunity, the highly transmissible Delta variant and reduced adherence to COVID-safe practices as a trifecta of culprits.”

In other words, viruses mutate around leaky vaccines. Who knew?
3- “Things continue to get worse,” Acting Health Secretary Dr. David Scrase said during a weekly news conference yesterday, describing the general picture of COVID-19 in New Mexico at present time as “grim.” 

But but but @POTUS was going to “shut down the virus”. 🤷🏼‍♂️
4- “New Mexicans should not expect to see additional restrictions, short of the indoor-mask mandate being renewed in the public health order.”

Put the masks back on. That will do it.
5- “Scrase and others urged New Mexicans to schedule booster shots to counter waning immunity, which they calculate sets in at roughly five and a half months after a second shot of Pfizer of Moderna.”

The shot bought 5 months of protection. Is that what we were sold?

1- "Now the herd is restless..."

"The prospects for meeting a clear herd-immunity target are “very complicated,” said Dr. Jefferson Jones, a medical officer on the CDC’s COVID-19 Epidemiology Task Force."

The herd is restless lol.
2 -"Recent evidence has also made clear that the immunity provided by vaccines can wane in a matter of months."

"The result is that even if vaccination were universal, the coronavirus would probably continue to spread."

If only anyone had predicted this..🤦🏽‍♂️
3- "To Dr. Oliver Brooks, a member of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, it was a sobering new message, with potentially worrisome effects."

Mostly worrisome because it means Brandon was always full of shit. Image

1- "In addition, the Pfizer vaccines were not evaluated for preventing infection, but rather symptomatic or severe disease and death. And when it comes to these statistics, the vaccines – at least for now – seem to be doing their job."

Flat-out lie (cont).
2- Big Pharma ran trials on efficacy - i.e. preventing infection. They never ran trials on anything else. The sold their drugs to the world based on this. ImageImage
3- Here's Dr Frankenvirus in May, confidently stating the vaccines are a "dead end" for COVID.

1- “..team of statisticians from Colorado State University that has spent the pandemic helping the State of Colorado forecast spikes in COVID-19 cases says the recent surge in cases in Colorado is mysterious.”

Stumped experts. Where’s my shocked face?

2- “I don’t know if we will ever know what is causing this spike,” said Dr. Bailey Fosdick, Associate Professor in CSU’s Department of Statistics.”

Virus is gonna virus.
3- “However, in recent weeks the team has found it more difficult to accurately forecast where positivity rates may be headed.”

Perhaps because COVID was engineered & doesn’t behave like any prior virus. Just a wild thought.

1- “Detailed breakthrough data showed that fully vaccinated Minnesotans made up 197 of the 483 deaths from Sept. 5-Oct. 9 and 1,082 of the 3,492 COVID-19 hospitalizations.”

Doesn’t sound like “extremely rare” (cont).

startribune.com/breakthrough-i…
2- “With 41% of the COVID-19 deaths in that time among the vaccinated, that is an increase from 29% over the previous four months.”

That sounds … not good.
3- “The trend underscores the waning immunity in Minnesotans who received COVID-19 vaccine six or more months ago.”

Can we now all just agree the shot buys 6 months of imperfect protection?

1- “The NBA has seen an increased positivity rate among vaccinated players, team staff and family members of late, which is consistent with the trends in many places around the nation.”

So much for the silver bullet (cont).

sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/11/12/cov…
2- “The NBA — following the lead of U.S. health authorities — want to shore up protection in at-risk people who were vaccinated months ago.”

Bend that knee, boys. You thought this was one shot, didn’t you?
3- “About 97% of NBA players have been vaccinated against COVID-19, the league has said. The most notable holdout is Brooklyn’s Kyrie Irving, a perennial All-Star who is not being allowed by the Nets to play until he gets vaccinated.”

It doesn’t always work but take it, damnit.

1- "Germany counted a staggering 50,196 new COVID-19 infections on Thursday, its highest count since the pandemic began. It is the first time the country has been battling a major wave despite a majority of its population being doubly vaccinated."

Welp.

dw.com/en/5-reasons-g…
2- "Our vaccination rate is still under 75% of the German population," said Dr. Christine Falk, president of the German Society for Immunology."

Bookmark this. Their rate will go over 75% and they'll say it needs to be higher (and that they've said this all along).
3- "While the jabs significantly lower the risk of serious illness and death, they don’t fully protect against infection. With soaring case numbers, the risk of getting COVID-19 also rises for vaccinated people."

So what's the point again of vaccine passports?
