I have not gotten the COVID19 vaccines … yet. With all the mandates and restrictions, I am sure I will get it soon. By the way, I am not ideologically against vaccines. There are two reasons I haven’t gotten the vaccines so far:
My health profile and personal experience, and
Data-based analysis of risks and benefits.
I was in China During Wuhan Outbreak
Yes, I was traveling in China in Dec 2019 when the coronavirus outbreak happened in Wuhan. I didn’t know at that time, obviously. However, in my last stop in Beijing, I was exposed to sick people every day. It was a scary experience to be stuck in taxicabs with drivers who kept coughing, especially without covering their mouths! Miraculously, I didn’t get sick during or after my vacation in China.
Then, I survived the entire the year of 2020 without any sickness — not even cold-like symptoms. Thus, when the vaccines appeared, I was in no rush. Before I knew, it was 2022, and I had survived two years without getting sick.
So, this is the first reason why I am still unvaccinated for covid.
Data, Data, Data
Second, all the data since the outbreak have unlocked fascinating aspects of the SARS-Cov-2 virus and the public policies. Data is the best way to seek the truth and be objective. Let’s take a look.
“COVID is Mild” – Mayo Clinic
“MOST people who become sick with COVID-19 will only experience mild illness and can recover at home” — the prestigious Mayo Clinic. In fact, this is true for 4 out of 5 people for the general population.
UC Davis Medical Center says that 95% of those who test positive for COVID19 can recover on their own at home.
How can we have a pandemic with such a “mild virus”?
Low Case Fatality Rate: 1.6% to 0.3%
The official case fatality rate (CFR) for COVID-19 is now about 1.6%. In other words, if 100 people catch the virus, 98.4% will survive.
However, about 40% of the cases are asymptomatic and many more get only mild symptoms, and these people may never get tested.
Thus, a new modeling tool from CDC, Stanford and Harvard estimate that 80% of Americans have already got covid and recovered.
This means that the covid CFR is 0.3% (850,000 deaths / 264 million cases).
Hospitalization/Death Numbers Exaggerated by 100% or more
From London to New York, officials are admitting that more than half the cases in hospitals are “incidental” COVID cases. That is, people who are being treated for other illnesses or emergencies — cancer, heart disease, or even accidents — just happen to test positive for COVID19.
Here’s a 30-second video where an official explains how a person hospitalized for a bicycle accident can be turned into a “covid admission”:
Thus, perhaps the true CFR is only about 0.15%. That is, 99.85% of people will not die from COVID.
In a freedom of information request, the UK government said that only about 18,000 people have died “just from COVID-19” over the last two years. Shocking data that is being ignored.
Countries — Highly Vaccinated versus Least Vaccinated
All the Western countries are highly vaccinated, yet they have the most fear and draconian regulations — lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports and so on. Meanwhile, 80% of people in Africa have antibodies for COVID19. Yet, in most African countries like Malawi, only 5% are vaccinated. Natural immunity is winning without help from Big Pharma. Here are Africans enjoying life without masks, vaccines and mandates.
Vaccines Losing Efficacy
Ideally, people just need one dose of vaccine, which will then protect us from infection, transmission, hospitalization and death. However, as data shows, vaccines are now starting to have zero or even negative efficacy. That is, vaccinated people are MORE likely to get infected, more likely to be hospitalized, and more likely to die from COVID than the unvaccinated.
As the reputable journal Nature admits, “immunity from a third (mRNA booster) shot wanes within months, mirroring the decline after two doses.”
The data for new cases from Ontario, Canada, clearly shows the flip in December when the fully vaccinated started surpassing the unvaccinated.
The recent data from the UK sheds light on this turn of events. Vaccine efficacy goes to ZERO percent in six months. Basically, people who got the two doses six months ago have no protection and are now in the same boat as the unvaccinated.
Boosters Forever
Endless number of vaccines does not make any sense either. Also, the booster is theoretically useless because it is based on the 2020 version of the virus, which has now mutated a lot. Pfizer CEO admitted it openly: “Two doses offer very limited protection … if any. And boosters offer “reasonable” protection against hospitalization and death.”
Anthony Fauci himself admitted that “everyone will get omicron.” Then, why the booster?
Failed Promises
Flashback: One year ago, we were told that vaccines offered 100% protection from hospitalization and death. Some even implied 100% efficacy in preventing infection and transmission.
However, as The Expose reveals in this great article, the vaccinated (1-dose, 2-dose, and boosted) account for about 80% of the hospitalizations and deaths in Scotland.
Adverse reactions
Thankfully, some people are waking up to the side effects of these vaccines. Here’s what Bloomberg reports: European Union regulators warn that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible.
The VAERS database is maintained by the CDC. Doctors and regular people can file reports of adverse reactions to vaccines. The number of reports have skyrocketed in the last year — over 1 million in the last year. Myocarditis, blood clots, and even deaths are off the chart.
Pandemic of the Old and the Sick
CDC’s own data shows that senior citizens account for 75% of the deaths and 40% of hospitalizations. And they are the most vaccinated group (close to 100%).
Moreover, CDC Director admitted that 75% of those who died from COVID had 4 or more comorbidity — like diabetes, obesity, hypertension etc.
Thus, it’s really the pandemic of the old and sick, not the unvaccinated.
Children and People Under 50 at Very Little Risk
Look at the covid death rate for various age groups. For children (aged 0-17), the death rate is 1 in 100,000 over two years. It’s an insignificant number. Cancers kill 5x as many children.
For people under the age of 50, the covid mortality rate is about 1 in 4,000 for two years. Or, 1 in 8,000 per year. Again, statistically a meaningless number, compared to other diseases and causes of death. Of course, if we take into the fact that the numbers may be exaggerated - as discussed before - the actual risk for people under 50 may be 1 in 16,000.
Treatments
Vaccine is not the only solution to prevent hospitalization and death. Vaccine is just one of the tools. What we need is a robust protocol for outpatient treatments, as doctors like Peter McCullough and others have been saying for a long time.
Is the Virus Even Dangerous?
The mainstream media and medical professionals make this coronavirus sound like Ebola. However, the SARS-Cov-2 is similar to some of the common cold viruses. That’s why even BBC reported that people with previous exposure to common cold can be immune to COVID19.
And CDC’s own report admitted that natural immunity was whopping 6x and 28x better than vaccines in reducing hospitalization and death respectively for the delta variant (Rhode Island data).
Pandemic is Over
As discussed in another post, 80% of Americans now have natural immunity for COVID19. And, R0 — reproduction factor — is now well below 1, meaning that the virus has fizzled out with the omicron variant.
Conclusion
If I were to summarize:
Most of the statistics about COVID19 are wrong and highly exaggerated
The truly vulnerable ones are the old and the chronically sick
Natural immunity is a safe and better option for healthy and young people
The pandemic is turning into an endemic, and the world will learn to live with the virus
I have not been sick in two years and see no medical reason to get vaccinated now
At this point, I believe that the pandemic is over and we have achieved herd immunity. Some countries in Europe are already dismantling the COVID restrictions and mandates. Look at the photo from the Netherlands below: No masks, no social distancing, and no paranoia.
The United States should do the same and return to normalcy as well. I miss the old days…
