In the movie Moneyball, Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane queries his team of scouts when discussing a prospective player, “If he's a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good?” The scouts all have solid explanations, at least in their minds (snip) What if we ask the same question about COVID vaccines, rephrased as “If the vaccines work, why aren’t they working?” (snip) The CDC on its website claims, “Research provides evidence that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing COVID-19.” Yet cases in highly vaccinated locations are surging, now almost two years into the COVID pandemic. As Billy Beane might say, “If the vaccines work, why aren’t they working?”

Because.... science!
They -do- work. For a few months. Then the well runs dry and you need a booster and then another booster and then you realize it's a bunch of nonsense and you can't take a dangerous drug 2-3 times a year for life to possibly prevent dying from an illness with a below 1% death rate (unless you're over 80 and have other illnesses already).
Math. Science. Facts. Statistics. All very cool. Unless you're a Marxist sheep. Then you hate these things.

Read an interesting comment that the virus is mutating and that most people are getting a vaccine that was developed to combat an earlier mutation of the virus.

It's by design. Get jabbed 2 times then await for the booster every 10 months later for the rest of your life.

We'll all have to develop natural immunity eventually... don't fear the virus. The treatments are getting better and better, so just make sure your Doctor is on board with Ivermectin and your local hospital prescribes the "solution" and not the Federal "Fauci-fix."

I'm not a biologist, but I am a mathematician, and the statistics tell me that this is not so much a true vaccine as a temporary therapeutic. It MAY reduce but not eliminate your chances of being hospitalized or dying. But so do a variety of other therapeutics that don't have any of the potentially hazardous side effects (such as blood clots) of this pseudo-vaccine.
As already pointed out, your chances of being hospitalized or dying are pretty small if you don't have any comorbidities and are under 80 years of age. So take plenty of vitamin C, D, and zinc, control your weight, and get moderate exercise and you'll reduce your chances even further. This is more a pandemic of mass hysteria and political/financial expediency than it is a genuine medical one

Early on, the attempts to create an effective vaccine were all in good faith but it soon became apparent that a genetically engineered weapon does not behave like a normal virus. By then Big Pharma had already sunk billions into it and Joe needed a win to show Donald Trump. All of those efforts failed. It happens. Keep working on it and call me when you have one that works. I still won't take it because that will probably be a lie as well.

The problem is that it IS working as intended.
Heavily vaccinated countries are starting to realize that it does not prevent the current covid, and they have trashed their immune system.
If people keep getting the booster until they die, we are in for a long road of care for the sick and dying.
The hitch in the depopulation plan is that not enough people submitted to their governmental directives.
They have moved from scientific savior ....to offering a carrot.... to the pulling out their stick to beat us into submission.

We have lost history and so we think everything is novel (no pun intended). The Coronavirus is a cold-type virus. Along with Rhino viruses, they cause the common cold. Symptoms of the common cold are what you get wit COVID 19, if you are healthy. The variant created by China and the CDC, is deadlier to those who are old and obese (at this time, please dont look at which populations skew the medical expenditures of socialist governments, nothing to see there) and it looks to me like they were targeted.
Now before our complete ignorance, it was known that these viruses mutated and that nothing could cure them. You could only treat colds. Because, as we all knew, but forgot (I guess), the viruses mutate and while you have immunity for the last cold, not the first one. So you used to hear things like this
"You can put a man on the Moon, but not cure the common cold".. It still stands

Vaccines don't work well if you don't take them. They work much better if everyone takes them. It really isn't helpful for people to expend enormous amounts of energy telling other people not to take them

First of all, the shots are NOT vaccines.

They do work, but this "vaccine" isn't a vaccine. It has no weakened or killed virus in it to spur immunity--it jiggers the DNA to produce what are believed to be components of the virus for the body to attack. Big difference and big problem--the jigger isn't permanent, much to Big Pharma's glee.

I have always tried to avoid pharmaceuticals, flu shots, etc., and everyone should be free to choose, but I can't help but notice those who are maniacally pushing the vax: the media, the Biden administration, and Big Pharma. I don't trust any of them.

Once again, I feel the need to mention the Sabin oral vaccine for polio.
When the Sabin polio vaccine was administered in third world countries with inadequate sewage treatment facilities, the Sabin vaccine caused polio by transmission through feces as recipients pooped out the polio virus.
Vermont has the highest kung flu rate, in spite of having the highest kung flu vaccination rate. Could kung flu be spreading among vaccinated people because the recipients of the vaccine, asymptomatic, are coughing and sneezing out the virus, and masks are serving as paper petri dishes?
Should the efforts of the CDC be devoted to the development of medications for early treatment of kung flu?

...for people to admit the so-called "vaccine" does not work...means they ALSO have to admit that they are dupes...saps...and sheep...AND ...those "anti-vaxxers were right!"
...this will never happen
as Mark Twain once said : ...."It is MUCH easier to fool someone, than to get them to admit they have been fooled. "

Covaxin is a true vaccine against COVID-19 and is authorized for use in serval countries. It's been used in millions of people in India and has much better results and fewer side effects. The USA recognizes foreigners treated with it as immunized and allowed to come into the USA. The USA won't allow it to be sold and used or recognized as vaccinated in US Citizens. Novavax is a US true vaccine as well. It completed trials in the spring in 30,000 Americans. Also much better and safer... and blocked by the FDA. Ponder that.

#2 Bingo! Why do we get a combination flu shot every year based specifically on the flu's they "think" might get here? They look at what they "think" might get here and create the shot based on that. THAT might be science.
But, the "vaccine" is based on the first covid no others because they had no idea what the mutations might be. So we are getting a booster for the first covid that has mutated and no longer exists.
We are an experiment. Not sure why. Perhaps we should put Fauci's head in a netted bag and let sand fleas eat his face off til he talks and tells us what is really going on. After all fair is fair.

We live in an anecdotal environment. We get a drubbing by the media and a few outspoken, indoctrinated and inoculated acquaintances that we now need a third injection. All the while going to viewings for acquaintances younger that succumbed just days or months after vaccine from massive strokes and heart attacks. Now I have a close athletic friend (rides bicycle 100 miles/week) struggling with a loss of stamina one month after vaccine and he has his third cardiology appointment tomorrow. I would dismiss what we witness as coincidence if it wasn't for the exemptions and pharmaceutical oligarchs referring to "misinformation" as "criminal".

All the medical knowledge in the world cannot explain why some senile congressional celebrity cum POTUS and his loyal cohort tells us not to expect to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas as in the past.
Fauci is not a real physician, although we have been trained to call him doctor. His actions are more in keeping with a charlatan, a cheater and deceiver. Is he an overpaid ogre, or just a court over-educated jester?. Whatever he really is, your tax dollars have been highly paying him for diddly zip. Locate any article or sound byte about the real Anthony Fauci. You'll get over any myths about the ''good doctor.'' (New York Times bestselling author Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s latest book, "The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma)

Dan Bongino has been asking the same questions about masks for months now. If masks work, why aren’t they working? If they worked, the virus would have died out by May of 2020.

Information is one thing, advocacy is another - on both sides of the issue. Either way, you make your choice...take the vaccine or not. I'll leave it at that. Others should, too. What was Trump's Warp Speed highly-anticipated savior is now Biden's shunned poison.

Interesting take on the vaccine...I'll believe the score of immunologist who said...the vaccine/two shot is 99.6 percent effective...that's my take on this continuing fabricated story from the cdc and big Pharma...those who contracted the china virus and have built their own antibodies are in great shape...the rest of US must take precautions and stay alert with keeping house clean and using mouthwash to kill germs...no different than years ago when polio was a plague...my mother lysoled our house till it stuck and WE couldn't swim one whole summer at the beach...and WE lived through that!!

If the vaccine had been available in March or April of 2020, it would have been fine. However, the vaccine was designed to protect people from the original version of the virus, but never any of the variants that would come along after that. There would probably be some protection against the variant, but not total protection. The booster shots, unless they have been designed to protect one from the Delta variant, won't do anything to protect anyone. The boosters are the same vaccine meant to protect people from the original virus, but the original virus has for the most part moved on. It's the variants that are making people ill now. The good news is that each variant of the virus is generally a weaker version of the original. However, this was a manmade virus and who knows if it will follow the natural weakening process of natural viruses.

Two incidents in my life make me shy from the 'jab'. In 1968 I was told, forced, had to follow orders to be vaccinated for a future stroll in a far east jungle. It was horrendous with swollen red arm, fever and fatigue I never forgot that. The next event was chemotherapy for over a year before and after surgeries for cancer. Since then I have never had a cold, flu or any illnesses. I only started having allergies to the point of needing weekly shots I stopped those in 2000 and nothing has happened since. The bottom line I'm not messing with my body's immune system, never. I have never taken any flu shots since the 1968 jab by the military nor insert some poison strain to alter my DNA that's like taking LSD that a crazy hippy concocted in a lab while he was on his own drug. I won't do it. FJB

The adverse reactions to the second inoculation are worse than to the first. Why third and fourth? Why children? Why pregnant women? Democrats once again politicize science and divide our nation. This Globalist mandate will not end well.

MRNA shots, developed and deployed under President Trump as emergency stopgap measures to keep hospital capacity under control. were never expected to be cures for the CCP virus(es). No more, no less.

I wonder if any of those companies are working on developing a "real" vaccine. Or, do they have no motive to do so because of the huge profits they are making with the current "temporary vaccine".

I'm done. When you encourage millions of unjabbed illegals to break into the country and then you fly them all around the country, don't start telling me what I should do. That goes double for fools that bleat out the criminal Federals government lie. If anyone in 'authority' was serious about the welfare of the non DC citizens, there would be a real investigation and prosecution of every lying slob connected with the willful Wuhan lab creation of this man made plague, starting with Fauchi and ending with a global punishment of China.

I believe OWS, i.e. the Trump vaccine, was probably already developed before OWS. We are all aware Trump is not an M.D. and had to take advice from those who presented themselves as experts

According to Darwinian theory, an organism cannot survive if if continues to kill the host. Therefore the Covid virus will do one of two things...mutate into a milder form or face extinction. How long that will take is the only question. Intervention will slow the process not speed it up.

They weren’t designed to save people they are a bioweapon designed to kill and maim. So far it’s working as planned. All part of the global population control agenda in place. Look how many Middle aged people get the jab and die there after. Young people get sterilized. Children get extremely sick requiring intense medical care that is extremely expensive and The become sterile and well die prematurely.

Re#9. The vaccines aren't vaccines and they do not protect against the disease, hospitalizations or death. And they have killed, at minimum, 18,000 people, likely far more.
Other than that....
