Hey. I have an idea. Polio is back in North America. Why not try your hypothesis with that and see what happens? I just hope that you don't miss walking.....but, of course, you are likely vaccinated against polio. Interesting, right?
News flash: Vaccines help you fight off infection WITHOUT having to get deathly sick.....
Funny you mention polio in the context of vaccines.
I had my polio shot along with others when I was an infant. I've had other shots along the way. When I was a kid in primary school, I remember from time to time they would vaccinate us against one thing or another. We'd line up by our class room outside the gymnasium and then they'd march us in and they had this gismo that looked like a phaser from Star Trek and give us a shot.
Vaccines at the time were good for life and you were 100 percent guaranteed not to catch polio or whatever. Yay.
And now we have the Covid 19 vaccine.
At first the narrative was that the Pfizer vaccine was 97 percent effective against one even contracting covid. Ok, so that seemed pretty good. But it was also revealed that you would need to have 2 shots to be fully immunized, about 30 days apart. (Which the Canadian federal government was never able to achieve, but I digress). So I thought, ok, it's a 2 shot deal, but I'm ok with that.
But then, as the new infection numbers began to show, it didn't seem that this vaccine was preventing people from catching covid (WTF. That started to concern me. Very UNLIKE all those shots, including polio, that I had as a kid.)
So the "scientists" and "the doctors" and the "experts" started changing the story. Now the story became, "well, you might still catch covid, but the vaccine prevents you from having severe symptoms and you definitely won't die from it"
Okaaaaaaayyyy
But then vaccinated people still died from COVID and vaccinated people still ended up in the ICU.
So then the story changed yet again. Now the story became, well, now you need a booster, a third shot. So dutifully I got my third shot. Thinking this was it. I'd be vaccinated just like all the other vaccines I got over the years.
Wrong a roonie.
Now the story has changed yet again to I need a 4th shot, and I can still contract Covid, but the story remains "well you can still contract covid, but if you do, you probably won't die from it and your symptoms will probably be less"
My conclusion is that the so called experts don't know shit. They are just talking out of their asses. Bunch of talking heads that parrot whatever Pfizer puts out in its releases to the experts. The science is still very much out on this particular vaccine. It's not really that effective in preventing anything that I see. You can still contract covid, you can still end up in the ICU and you can definitely still die from it. And the story changes every other week.
And tell me something, if the vaccine doesn't prevent one from contracting Covid, why the mandates that you need to be vaccinated to visit granny in the old age home? If Covid vaccines only lessen YOUR symptoms, then it's irrelevant whether you are vaccinated or not in order to visit granny. I could see it if the vaccine prevented you from contracting Covid, but it doesnt.
Is it any wonder why the majority of people aren't going to get their 4th shot (in a never ending series of shots)?
Call me when they really and truly come up with a vaccine that actually works because this one is just a giant swindle.
