There is data on ICU and COVID-19 deaths based on vaccination status. Why not another column on whether the person already had COVID per a PCR (and how long ago 6, 9, 12, 15 months)? Why the blackout on such critical data especially that the vaccines don’t hold like Polio, MMR?
If C19 shots stopped the spread (as Biden claimed in July 2021), and if the shots held long, you can perhaps argue everyone should get the shots for the greater good as done to other diseases. But cases R now worse than pre-vaxx and shots are not a dead end, so (next tweet)
What’s the end game? Keep sending people for shots every 3-4 months? How practical is that? A sane path would be to grasp how good/bad; long/short prior infection helps, and to make the public aware of early steps to be taken when infected to help mitigate COVID’s impact.
But alas. This path does not turn Moderna investors intro billionaires; natural immunity dosn’t fund TV ads or lobbyists; sane off ramps from COVID-19 don’t calm authoritarians’ desire to dictate the masses with rules that they ignore and off ramps don’t generate TV views either.
We are practically in a situation where the people with the power to end the chaos (elected officials and big media), have incentive to continue the craziness. Of course let’s not forget that months after leaving his job as FDA Chief, @ScottGottliebMD joined Pfizer’s board.
Does anyone think that such job prospects don’t blur the objectivity of current FDA/CDC staffers? Please. Trump’s last FDA chief went working for the firm that practically launched Moderna. This too happened within months of leaving his FDA job.
How can they set vaccine policy?
Among the masses, you have useful idiots who serve as unwitting spokespeople for a cash-generating, jobs/lobbyist ad-funding system that has incentive to keep pushing the jabs no matter its shortcoming at the expense of doing other off-ramp things that I mentioned.
When confronted with data and logic, the useful idiots turn into malfunctioning zombies who yell about “anti-vaxxers” while failing to grasp that they themselves are vaccine fanatics who serve as useful idiots for people with personal incentive to keep the chaos going.
My family and I take all the mandated-until-now shots which in these days in New York is TWENTY THREE shots (initial and boosters) before the age of 12!
Most who yell “anti-vaxxer” to the logic of such threads, are shocked to hear the 23 number.
Let’s end with this data 🔻🔻🔻
US CDC data since start of last year through 12/18/21:
6,569,413 died of all causes.
807,774 deaths were COVID-related.
65,684 under age 18 died.
668 were COVID-related.
0.08% US Covid deaths are children.
1.0% children deaths are COVID.
See for yourself 🔻🔻🔻
Considering that the shots do not stop the spread, AND breakthrough deaths in Michigan alone this year alone is DOUBLE than ALL the children COVID deaths for ALL of the US for ALL of the outbreak, then what’s the rational to force these shots on kids?
(See Michigan data🔻)
The FDA’s own paper on giving the Pfizer shots to young kids, assumes that every 1 million jabbed males age 5 through 11, cuts COVID deaths by 1; not 1 percent; but 1 person and increases ICU visits for heart issues by 57 people.
So… again: If the C19 shots were a “dead-end” to spread as Fauci claimed earlier this year and if “you are not gonna get COVID if you have these vaccinations” as Biden claimed in July, we can then debate if kids should get it for the greater good despite the FDA-noted issues.
However, with spread being the same/worse as last year despite 70% vaccination; breakthrough deaths in MI alone being worse than all children COVID deaths in all of the US, plus the limited gain (and some risk) for young kids as seen from the FDA paper, this makes zero sense.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

1/ Thread. I know I am talking here mostly to the 4 walls, but as an exercise I’ll tweet these thoughts and if you are one of the few to read it, thank you.
We are often told to “trust the science,” but the science of trust is to earn it; you can’t force people to trust you.
2. In recent years, however, little has been done to earn the public’s trust. For starters, there is no THE science as science is a developing thing. What’s more, to claim “the science is settled” is strange as science as a topic is about constant study.
How can it be settled?
3/ Besides, if you have the numbers, show it. Why do you need to ask for people to trust it? Furthermore, many people “trust” “the” science, but they just distrust your policy solutions to the science and your motives behind ths policies that you want to impose on the public.
Biden finally gave Trump credit for the C19 vaccines because in recent weeks with Omicron amok more people became aware that the vaccines are not living up to its promise from a year ago.
“95% effective.”
“Dead-end for spread.”
Sucker, the Trump that he is, ate it up.
Biden credited Trump for the vaccine on the day that Israel authorized a SECOND BOOSTER for age 60 and above.
The two shot series that was “95% effective” against severe outcome and a “dead-end” for the spread, is at its 4th shot, and masks are still needed.
Yet Trump is happy.
Instead of blasting Biden/Harris for undermining trust in the vaccines last year, Trump trips over himself that Biden finally credited Trump for the vaccine on the day that Israel announced a 4th shot and a day after Trump announced a Jan 6th move for two weeks from now.
“There will be positive cases in every office, even here in the WH among the vaccinated, but these cases are highly unlikely to lead to serious illness.” - Biden today despite 24% COVID deaths in MI in recent months and 50% in VT in the same time being among the fully vaccinated.
When Trump said in Sep 2020 that children are at a low risk of severe COVID, a wave of fact checking ensured on how it’s false.
For context, MI alone this year alone had more VACCINATED Covid deaths than all children COVID deaths in all of the US for all of the outbreak!
Biden’s comment is blatant vaxx disinformation but there is a bigger chance that I will get flagged by Twitter for proving his lie than dozens of “journalists” hammering @PressSec for comment on why Biden is spreading lies or for Twitter to flag him as they did to Trump.
@DeanObeidallah@LarryOConnor@AdamBaldwin The insurrection at the WH forced the USSS to rush POTUS Trump to the bunker. It was their decision; not Trump’s and 60+ agents were wounded during that attack.
@DeanObeidallah, Dems mocked it. Those mockers claim that mass trespassing inflamed by a brutal crackdown is terror.
Funny how Fox hosts and Trump kids thought that @MarkMeadows didn’t know that the mass trespassing incident (against which there was a violent crackdown and led to more chaos) looked bad on TV.
Funnier: They thought the few percent violent ones will stop if Trump said anything.
Meadows & Co were watching many of the same TV channels and SM feeds as the Foxers and Trump family members who kept texting Meadows as if he had much sway on Trump.
With Jan 6th in focus today, I wonder where are the federal charges against hundreds who insurrected at the WH in the summer of 2020 which forced POTUS into the bunker and it wounded 60+ USSS agents including 11 who were taken to the hospital.
Almost 70% of Germany is fully vaccinated against C19 and a fifth of the population is boosted. Yet, their recent new daily Coronavirus case count is much higher than it has ever been.
How does such a small portion of the population generate so many cases?
Answer: They indeed don’t. Cases are also spreading heavily among the C19 vaccinated as - finally - reported by many in the partisan media.
