Also, unvaccinated adults and children with CV who do NOT die are likely to come up with long-haul problems.

Except, we were initially told (by Fauci) that herd immunity sets in at a 70% vaccination of the population...

What "long-haul" problems are children "likely" to get?

Well.....turns out Fauci has lied to the public and Congress...looking like he is a huge goner....will be fired and most likely stand trial. So with all the out right lies I no longer can trust what is coming out of the NIH along with CDC and FDA.....look really hard at this...I hope and pray those that took the vaccine will Not see further harm in the future...really sad that Fauci turned out to be a criminal.

They also have interviewed many people that were in the initial 30,000+ vaccine pipeline following their progress, NO! There was not hundreds killed and thousands sickened. There is zero proof to that statement.

Conspiracy theories are so unbecoming…. Btw, 1% of the USA population is 3.5 million people….that would be considered a devastating historical amount of death, by any historical data.

Yes, there were hundreds (now thousands) killed by the vaccines. From the Newsweek article linked below:

Our VAERS result showed 970 people died after being given a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine shot. Of those deaths, 495 occurred following a Moderna shot, and 475 occurred following a Pfizer shot.

The linked article actually disputes, rather than supports, your conclusion that these deaths were from the vaccines. Quotes from the Newsweek article include:
"There are hundreds of reports of people having died after getting a COVID vaccine, but that does not necessarily mean the vaccine was the cause."
and
"However, it is false to say that COVID vaccines have caused 966 deaths, because the VAERS database is not designed to give this information. For example, in the dataset published by The Epoch Times, one of the people who died after getting a vaccine had also been injured in a car crash between getting the jab and the date of their death, but the case was still included in the dataset."

From the article linked below:

The world’s first mRNA vaccine has begun its rollout after being produced at unprecedented speed as part of the global effort to end the Covid-19 pandemic. A second one is hot on its heels. The two – one made by Pfizer/BioNTech and the other by Moderna – mark the first time this vaccine technology has been approved for use.

The current stats say 30% of covid cases are long haulers which means you will be traveling around with oxygen. Sounds like a great plan.

Your likelihood of catching the virus and developing a symptomatic infection depends greatly on your age, exposure, health status, COVID incidence rate and variants in your community, and some other risks factors. It’s an evolving situation.

“The current evidence base on messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines is made up entirely of small early-stage trials, nearly all of which examined only short-term outcomes. They lack sufficient power for testing the statistical significance of most results, and for assessing the risk of serious but uncommon adverse events.”

Hospitals didn't get more money if they died of Covid. That is pure foolishness and it makes me really mad.

The hospitals do get more money if Covid is listed as the cause of death. People that choose to remain paranoid or naïve are part of the problem!

Oh, dear, we certainly don't want to make you mad!

But, once again, you're mistaken...

Hospitals most certainly do get paid more with a Dx of Covid than they do with a Dx of Pneumonia...

I'm not blaming the docs for that. It's the administrators and the billing departments...

And you'll tell people your mother died of whatever they told you she died of...

Why is Fauci taking so much heat? My guess is as long as they can keep someone else on the Covid hot seat, it distracts from who is ultimately responsible for 612,000 needless American deaths and 34 million infections.

Rather than guess, let’s look at actual facts as to why the US Covid deaths are as high as they are:

One, the US decided to code anyone who died, that tested positive for Covid, or was suspected to have died with Covid, as a Covid death.

Two, according to the CDC, obese people are 3X more likely to be hospitalized with Covid, and the US has the highest percentage of obese people of any major country.

Three, the US had a higher percentage of nursing home patients die with Covid than any other country in the world. While other countries did their best to protect their most vulnerable people, some states in the US insisted that those with Covid be placed in nursing homes.

Plenty of blame to go around…

Wut??? Only physicians can make a medical diagnosis. Hospitals, and certainly billing staff, aren't listing a dx unless the doc says it's so in the medical record.

One of my patients, a 90+ yo lady, in failing health, refused the vaccine. I asked her "Why?"

She responded that she'd been alive a very long time and when it was her time to go, it was her time to go... Hard to argue with that...

In statistics that would be an N of 1. Meaning it is COMPLETELY meaningless (and if you really are a Doctor or maybe your patients are dogs and cats) then you would KNOW statistics - and would NOT have wasted your time by typing and GLORIFYING one person that refused a vaccination. NOW........that is a REAL insult! And I have the imagination to come up with many more!

Sorry sick is the UNPATRIOTIC selling of the idea of people avoiding their CV shot - that the world is begging for - and 99% of MEDICAL SCIENTISTS are in favor of. SICK is selling an idea that V. Putin loves as it will make America weak. SICK is twisting my post, which was about unvaccinated adults AND children - then pretending that it was ONLY about children because that suits your twisted sister slant on weakening America and linking up with a Dictatorship.

note..... there is a new virus variant called Delta that is STRONG in India and IS already in Britain. Britain is going to go back toward quarantines And SICK is going to be the US if Delta hits here and people like yourself RESIST pushing for MORE vaccinations, NOT less - and more MASKING, and social DISTANCE. I FEEL healthy unvaccinated people in the US are unpatriotic, unAmerican, and I DISLIKE them intensely.

There are probably some people who rightly don't get get a vaccine, say for example cancer patients or people with lowered immune systems. But I do agree that people who are candidates for the vaccine and selfishly refuse to get vaccinated, are making our country less safe, and are endangering others who might happen to be high risk. And I am really angered by them. You have the right to do what you want to your own body, but you don't have the right to endanger others.

What "long-haul" problems are children "likely" to get?

There is now MEDICAL EVIDENCE that asymptomatic CV-infected children have holes in their lungs and enlarged heart. And if you REALLY were a medical professional, then you would KNOW this! Those could stay with the children for the rest of their lives. And the people that preach the anti-vaxx nonsense have ALREADY infected and possibly killed adults and children by convincing other people to NOT get their CV shots. Infection and death are irreversible. So think about what side you (everyone) are on. There are 2 sides - 1) for humans and society or 2) for propaganda and conspiracy theories. You decide!

Dr. Fauci ACTUALLY said that there are 2 theories as to the origins of the CV. One is natural - jumping from animals to humans and the other is that it was a lab leak. Right now he is leaning towards the former, but more evidence may come out. The NIH DID send funds to China as part of WHO funds. At the time it was for LEGITIMATE research! The idea was to "soup up" the virus in order to make a better vaccine. Today about 50% of Scientists think that it WAS a BAD idea. But, that is hindsight. DR. Fauci did NOT control the WHO. he is merely ONE very respected Scientist that has been moved to the wrong side of recent History by propaganda theorists. Because Dr. Fauci would NOT kiss the ring!

Isn’t it wonderful that the precautions that were taken truly worked to keep the numbers down. With the way things started with people stacked in the streets to the lower numbers today everything is working that was put in place for us. Also as another benefit is the flu numbers were extremely low this year.

Garywt 06-07-2021 05:37 PM

As a cancer patient and stem cell transplant patient I had the vaccine in February. Because of my weakened immune system he wanted all his patients to get it as if we got Covid we could be in real trouble. Did not really matter what I thought about it, doctor said go and I went, no questions asked.

Some estimates have 80% of the excess deaths due to COVID-19. The reason to look at excess deaths is because the cause of each death, as reported on a death certificate, doesn't matter to the number.


Bingo! This is the scientific approach to evaluating the data. Notice how subsequent posts ignore this logic.

No, I don't, but I'm sure you'll give me some opinion, and present it as fact.

I find it funny that people have an aversion to this vaccine, when they take FDA approved drugs, that kill thousands every year. Vioxx, alone, killed over 60,000 people. Over 8,000 approved drugs have been taken off the market. 328,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe die from prescription drugs each year. And let's not forget Opioids.

In my case, it’s because nobody - nobody - nobody, knows what the long term effects of mRNA vaccines are. There have been NO trials where the long term effects have been studied.
