Throughout August, the risk of dying from Covid-19 was 11 times higher for unvaccinated adults than for fully vaccinated adults in the United States, according to new data published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unvaccinated adults faced a six times higher risk of testing positive for Covid-19 throughout the month, and In the last week of August, the risk of being hospitalized was nearly 19 times higher for unvaccinated adults than fully vaccinated adults. Some states and local jurisdictions have recently started publishing Covid-19 case, death and hospitalization rates by vaccination status on their own dashboards

Based upon their track record, why should anyone believe what the CDC is saying? They are simply another cheerleader for the Dem party.

So? I'm not scared of the unvaccinated. I'm not afraid of my shadow either. I let what CNN says go in one ear and out the other. CNN and Empty Shelves Joe should let the unvaccinated live their lives without being cast as the new lepers. Shame on CNN and Joe.

Why do they expect that all of a sudden we should believe the lying garbage at the CDC. Their Data has never been accurate, lumping gun shot deaths in with Covid deaths is one of their tactics and heart attack victims and others.

My BS meter just went into overdrive. The Pharmaceutical companies are hiding all the deaths and adverse affects of the clot shot. Eventually the truth will come out and companies that forced their employees to take the shot will be sued. Big Harma is protected from lawsuits from their experimental vaccines unless they also hid the data regarding the dangers of their drugs.

Yep. And people who have a gun in the house are 186,282 times more likely to be killed by it than a criminal's gun. I believe those statistics. In a pig's eye. If you are unvaccinated, have covid and get hit by a train, you died from covid. If you are vaccinated and die of covid anyway, you died from the flu. Everything they say and do urges or mandates the vaccination. They lie, cheat and falsify to achieve that goal. Why?

If the shot is safe, why do the drug companies hide behind the emergency shield to avoid any liability when people are injured? Just how many shots are they going to require people to take? You hate my guts, so why do you think I would believe that you cared if I died? If someone fires you if you don't get the shot, is that consent valid?

CNN is full of relativists who appeal to relativists. Relativism can be easily refuted because its premises are fundamentally flawed. Furthermore, why would I believe a network that can't honestly defend that there are two biological genders, that more than likely believes pregnancy starts at uterine implantation instead of conception--and it can be easily proven that HCG levels can be detected while an embryo is still in a fallopian tube, ever heard of an ectopic pregnancy?--and that hormones change someone's gender, despite the fact that those hormones can't alter their DNA, and that if a transgender person is miserable it must be someone else's fault? God, help us!!

I have heard that the CDC recommends a different PCR test for the vaccinated... fewer cycles. Could they have a thumb on the scale? And, while I would like to believe that the vaxx does some good, and I do believe it, I also believe it does some harm. In fact, there has been an American Thinker article explaining that the vaxx deaths outweigh the avoided covid deaths... indicating that maybe it would be better to risk covid than risk the vaxx. Additionally, wasn't there another shot that was supposed to be available soon that didn't use Gene Therapy? What happened to that?

Oh, and one other thing that a poster above brought up... the smell test. You and I have seen countless drug ads on TV. Use Zandex and make your purple spots go away. Side effects include flatulence, weight gain, hair loss, nausea. Don't use it if you're allergic. Ask your doctor. Etc. etc. etc. Has ANYONE seen anything like that for the vaxx? NO ONLY government recommendations/testimonials and "It's SAFE." Kinda stinks, right? We all know taking aspirin can have side effects for some people and in some applications.

Means nothing without the raw data and precise definition of unvaxed, vaxed, death from Covid, etc. Right now it's so rigged that if you die after getting vaxed within a certain amount of time it counts as unvaxed death, rather than a death possibly caused by the vaccine.

All the side affects are stated on drugs but not for the shot. Only print out I have seen is the one given to people after the jab that states they can’t sue the government or the pharmaceutical company or the people giving the jab Kind of says it all.

Enough of this lying! I talked with a woman who's father's girlfriend died a week after getting a booster and a relative died a week after getting the booster. What about that woman in Seattle who didn't want to shot but had to get it, she died. We don't hear too much about that anymore. I'm terrified for my grandchildren because they will be getting the shot if they haven't had it already. This gov't is certainly making the pharms rich - no wonder the pharms keep coming out with new boosters etc for covid. Why turn off the golden goose.

Millions have herd immunity after contracting COVID. Over half the population is vaccinated. In spite of that more people are catching COVID. That defies logic. Either the vaccine does not work, people are being diagnosed incorrectly, or the data is faulty. Take your pick. Regardless, nothing can be trusted with regard to COVID.

Sorry OP but the CDC blew their credibility long ago. How can you even still call this a vaccine? It wanes amazingly fast. It does not prevent a patient from acquiring the disease nor from transmitting it. At best this is a therapeutic whose only claim to fame is a reduced incidence of hospitalization and mortality in the elderly in particular. Truth is, the use of a "vaccine" in the midst of a pandemic may have the unfortunate repercussion of increasing mutations as pressure is placed on the virus, a very serious issue no one at the CDC has deigned to explore. We have NEVER vaccinated an entire population (not simply children) prior to an airborne respiratory illness becoming endemic. This should cause some scientific curiosity on their part of our medical betters. Alas no. And don't pull Polio out of your hat. These diseases are so dissimilar it is silly. Natural immunity in the young and healthy is 12x's more efficacious, long lasting, and presents close to zero risk for those with no comorbidities. The vaccine shills need to just stop and understand something about human nature (for which they are woefully uninformed). You will not convince one person to take this therapeutic injection via mandates or badgering. They will dig their heals in even farther. So unless you are prepared to strap people down and inject them forcibly, you need to shut up. We have heard it all. Freedom is still freedom for now.

I get the idea that with the unvaccinated those with natural immunity are excluded to up the percentages for unvaccinated. #How to lie with statistics

Of course Fakebook and Instagram have suppressed this info. Wonder why they backed off the vax pass? They can scan the markers that were injected into your body and know whether you can travel, buy food, ör earn money to pay a mortgage. OP, the more we learn, the sleazier and more insistent your efforts to tell us about our lying eyes. This is about life and death, therefor I challenge you to refute the Doctor's conclusions.

The disclaimers mentioned in #27 are a consequence of regulations which hold companies liable for damages caused by use of their products (but sometimes not if their ads warn of those possible side effects). And since I recall applauding PDJT for granting indemnity to those companies as incentive to speed up development and testing of the vaccines, I'll refrain from condemning Dementia Joe for those companies not being held liable for the damages caused to people who get their pseudo-vaccines.

Rodgers sought treatments instead of COVID-19 vaccine 15 replies

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Friday he sought alternative treatments instead of the NFL-endorsed COVID-19 vaccinations because he is allergic to an ingredient in two of the FDA-approved shots. Speaking on SiriusXM’s “Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers said: “I’m not an anti-vax, flat-earther. I have an allergy to an ingredient that’s in the mRNA vaccines. I found a long-term immunization protocol to protect myself and I’m very proud of the research that went into that.” Rodgers, who turns 38 on Dec. 2, did not say what ingredient he was allergic to, or how he knows he is allergic.

Their potentially penis-propping PSA is currently going viral on YouTube. [snip] The clip then cuts to a panel of real-life doctors, who warn the nostalgic sex hounds that “men who have had COVID are six times more likely to develop erectile dysfunction.”

NEW YORK — Health officials on Friday offered more evidence that vaccinations offer better protection against COVID-19 than immunity from a prior infection. Unvaccinated people who had been infected months earlier were 5 times more likely to get COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people who didn’t have a prior infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded in a new study. “These data show, pretty strongly, that the vaccines are more protective against symptomatic COVID,” said Dr. Mike Saag, an infectious disease expert at the University of Alabama. [snip] Saag called the research well done and convincing.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Despite warnings the race would be close, California Gov. Gavin Newsom decisively defeated efforts to kick him out of office, a win the Democrat cast as an endorsement of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and his party’s liberal values. Newsom cruised to victory in the recall election Tuesday, boosted by healthy turnout among an overwhelmingly Democratic electorate, ensuring the nation’s most populous state will remain a laboratory for progressive policies. With an estimated two-thirds of ballots counted, the “no” response to the question of whether to recall Newsom was ahead by a 30-point margin.

A meeting between Iowa City's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the city's city council took a surprise turn — and became heated — Tuesday when Iowa City Mayor Bruce Teague suggested reworking and even dismantling the body in its current form. The suggestion was spurred by Teague's disagreement with the commission's proposed budget — specifically, the $54,000 that would be dedicated to $1,000 monthly stipends for the group's nine commissioners. "Personally, I believe this council should really rethink and re-look at what our charge is for this commission,"

The NFL will pay very close attention to whether unvaccinated players follow Covid protocols this season, and if they don’t, the players will end up paying the league. [Snip] The new penalty comes on the heels of another restriction announced this week in which the league said that if a Covid outbreak among unvaccinated players caused a game to be canceled, players from neither team would be paid. Moreover, the team that had the outbreak would forfeit the game and be liable for financial penalties.

WASHINGTON — Two weeks after celebrating America’s near “independence” from the coronavirus, President Joe Biden is confronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance responsible for the summer backslide. Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the reversing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. And cases are expected to continue to rise in coming weeks.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” that the U.S. economy will have “several more months of rapid inflation.” Yellen said, “We will have several more months of rapid inflation. So I’m not saying that this is a one-month phenomenon. But I think over the medium term, we’ll see inflation decline back toward normal levels. But, of course, we have to keep a careful eye on it. Measures of inflation expectations, I think, still look quite well contained over the medium term. [Snip]. I believe fundamentally, you know, that this is something that will settle down.”

Avondale, Ariz.—NASCAR denounced its association with the “Let's go, Brandon” political cry being used across the country as an insult directed at President Joe Biden. Steve Phelps, NASCAR's president, said Friday the top motorsports series in the United States does not want to be associated with politics “on the left or the right.” Phelps also said NASCAR will pursue action against any illegal use of its trademarks on merchandise boasting the slogan. Retired baseball star Lenny Dykstra posted a photo on Twitter this week of a man eating breakfast at a New Jersey hotel wearing a black “Let's go, Brandon” shirt alongside NASCAR's trademarked color bars.

Friday afternoon Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe announced that the homes of current and former Project Veritas journalists had been raided by FBI agents Thursday morning and that he had been served a Grand Jury subpoena with a cover letter requesting that he not make the existence of the subpoena known. Appearing on video, O’Keefe said (in part): It appears the Southern District of New York now has journalists in their sights for the supposed “crime” of doing their jobs lawfully and honestly. Or at least, this journalist. I had to think long and hard before making this statement. It’s a decision that only I can make.

Special counsel John Durham’s indictment of Igor Danchenko, the principal source for the bogus Steele dossier used by the FBI as a basis for the Trump-Russia investigation, further illustrates that Durham has his sights set on the Clinton campaign.Danchenko has been charged with five counts of lying to the FBI in interviews during 2017, as the bureau struggled in futility to verify outlandish allegations that Donald Trump and his campaign were clandestine agents of the Kremlin. Those allegations were compiled in the so-called Steele dossier, which the FBI relied on in obtaining surveillance warrants from a secret federal court.The dossier was generated by the Clinton campaign.

The “penis doctor” community is playing hardball to promote vaccine awareness. Convincing the public to get the COVID vaccine has proven Sisyphean, but enterprising doctors may have formulated a foolproof reason why men should get the jab — so they can maintain their erections. Their potentially penis-propping PSA is currently going viral on YouTube. [snip] The clip then cuts to a panel of real-life doctors, who warn the nostalgic sex hounds that “men who have had COVID are six times more likely to develop erectile dysfunction.”

'As a student of American history and a person of color, I never underestimate the white, hot rage, anxiety, and resentment of a Karen scorned,' wrote Wajahat Ali for The Daily Beast in a piece titled, 'You Damn Karens Are Killing America.' 'When push comes to shove, many white women in this country have historically shoved people of color out of the way,' Ali claimed.
