Robin Hauser, a pediatrician in Tampa, got COVID-19 in February. What separates her from the vast majority of the tens of millions of other Americans who have come down with the virus is this: She got sick seven weeks after her second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. "I was shocked," said Hauser.(Snip)These "breakthrough" infections occurred among people of all ages. Just over 40% were in people 60 or older, and 65% occurred in women. Twenty-nine percent of infected people reported no symptoms, but 7% were hospitalized and just over 1%, 74 people, died, according to the CDC.

No one said the vaccine was 100 percent effective. If it's 94 percent effective that means the six out of every hundred who get the injection can still get infected. Why is that news.

Based on the raw data, you have less than a 10% chance to get Covid-19 without the vaccine.
With the vaccine, that goes down to 6% chance of getting Covid-19.
Only you can decide if 4% is worth being a guinea pig tester for the government. If you think it is, go for it. If you don't, then don't.

Probably less "rare" than they're disclosing.

We have yet to produce any vaccine that takes care of a virus. So you can still catch it with the vaccine. They still want you to wear a mask. They still want you to social distance. So why bother to get vaccinated?

From a statement from the WH dated 4/12/2021...
'Over the weekend, the CDC reported 75,000 cases and 81,000 cases of COVID-19 each day. As such, CDC’s most recent data show the seven-day average for new cases has increased about 3 percent over the prior seven-day period to over 66,000 cases daily.'
MORE cases? How can this be? We have the miracle vaccine now.

Many people get the Flu after a vaccination. Even after having had the Flu. I suspect, if truth be known, the mortality rate for the various Flu (Covid) is about the same. Good thing we don't panic and lockdown for every Flu that comes along!

You never hear of the adverse reaction statistics. Thousands have died after getting the poison needle. You never hear about it. I wonder why.....??? HAHAHAHA! We know why. They just don't want anyone to know the truth.

The probability is about half that of being struck by lightning. Not zero but nowhere near using as a basis for public policy.

Less testing than even dog and cat vaccines. Less testing than most anything in the medical market. Certainly qualifies as the most dangerous of any vaccine ever. Has a statistical risk that exceeds that of the very disease it was supposed to protect us from.
And it turns out it doesn't even work. We can still get the disease and apparently are MORE susceptible to it. We still have to wear the masks. We still have to distance. Restaurants are still closed. Businesses are still closed. We still can't go to work.
And one more thing. We still have the danger of heterosexual AIDs. The Fauci and Elders prediction was that all the heteros would be dead by 2000. They have never once said, "Oops, we were wrong." They even censored a 1992 book that argued that Heterosexual Aids was a myth. You could not buy it. Until years later after everyone was supposed to be dead. I just checked and it seems I'm not dead yet.

The "vaccines" don't work.
And aborted fetus material can't fight a virus.
These jabs are not designed to keep people safe.
These have not been tested for safety, short or long term.
And Bill Gates is refusing to allow "his" vaccine to be used in India where there is a huge spike in infections.

95% effective means there is a 5% chance of catching the virus. I'll take those odds.

There is still much about Covid-19 that is not known. The same is true for the experimental shots that have been developed. President Trump’s hope was to cut back on what was clearly a pandemic.
Even with fully tested medications and vaccines that have gone through human clinical trials, additiional side effects and adverse reactions show up when these things begin to be utilized in the general population.
I am not keen on being a guinea pig, so, with a medical history that shows adverse reactions to some meds and at least one vaccine, I am taking a pass on the Covid shots, which are not even vaccines. My choice. We need to educate ourselves by reading material at reliable sites. Then we need to weigh risk and reward and make our own decisions. It’s an individual thing.

I remember that flu shots were intended to lessen the effects if one got the flu. I don’t remember any guarantees of prevention. I understood the same was true of these shots that are being given for Covid-19. They were undoubtedly oversold by the politicians and media. But only those who are really afraid and grasping for hope buy into what the politicians and media hammer on...

I saw my Critical Care/Pulmonologist this morning and asked him about just such cases. The sister of a close friend of my wife came down with Kung flu two weeks after getting the Pfizer vaccine. He told me that he has seen a few cases like that and that the people contracting the Chinese flu after vaccination most likely were already infected. As a side bar, he told me that infections here in NJ are decreasing, and everyone should get vaccinated for their own safety. I’m not going to argue medicine with a double boarded physician. Pay no attention to anti-vaxers. If you are worried, get tested first before getting vaccinated.

Since most of those given the vaccine are over the age of 65, it figures that if the vaccinated get Covid, it's going to be the oldest ones. Plus they probably have secondary health issues as well.

4, the Salk polio vaccine is 100% effective. And the smallpox vaccine was 100% effective, and eliminated smallpox entirely, worldwide.

My understanding is that vaccines don't stop you from catching the virus against which they are directed. What vaccines do is prime your immune system by causing your body to produce and release antibodies etc that are "stored" in your body so that you have a readily available defense system that can fight the virus at an early stage should you catch the virus. This reduces the ability of the virus to use your body's cells to replicate itself many times, thus weakening the virus's ability to produce symptoms.
The theory behind vaccines is sound but the issue that's been raised by a number of people - amidst all the clamor and fear-mongering of the mainstream media - is that the human body's immune system does not need a vaccine to adequately handle the Covid-19 virus, at least not in humans with normal, healthy immune systems. It's pretty much the same situation with the flu virus as far as I know.

Says here the Covid hospitalization rate among Vaccinated-Americans (7%) is higher than that of the overall population (which maxes out at around 5%), and the death rate is about the same also (maybe a bit higher).
