Oh Keith: if we we're afraid of anything we'd be wearing 3 masks, latex or nitrile gloves, face shield, those surgical shoe coverings, and carrying a ruler to insure an exact 6' distance between us and the nearest human being. I'm skeptical of the jab, not scared of it. I AM scared of psychopathic humans who'd like nothing more than to hold me down and force something into my body.

They're getting boosters because they're afraid the first two didn't work. It takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to believe a third one will make everything all better.

In this article it states "Over 99% of Covid-19 deaths have been among the unvaccinated last month (July)."

This would imply a very, very low vaccinated death rate.

Was this statement correct?

Is it still correct?

I only link to it for proof people are being paid to push the vax. No, I would absolutely not rely on it, or any legacy media account for the truth on hospitalization rates. Stick to boriquagato, Mathew Crawford, and others in the alternative media for the real statistics. For example, it appears in Australia, 95% of hospitalizations are among the vaccinated, meaning they are now in all likelihood being overrun with vaccine injuries and illnesses..

That claim appeared widely in the press. Here's a sample article I bookmarked as an example of crazy propaganda:

https://www.foxnews.com/health/covid-19-hospitalizations-nonvaccinated

Your question is similar (but not identical) to the claim made in the linked article. But both are likely very deceptive. In "my" article's case: Where is the flaw in their argument? The very long time sample: January to August. What doesn't the article tell you, but you could find by checking CDC and other data? Simple: the sample period begins when almost no one was vaccinated (the vaxxes weren't even available before December, 2020), also start date captures the enormous seasonal peak of winter cases. While I didn't double-check the data, it's likely this article is a case of technically not lying, but instead telling an irrelevant truth. They would only have been slightly less silly to claim the same time period a year earlier, and say 100% were unvaxxed.

Please never forget: the truth is a scarce commodity in the media. Especially so when they have vested interests to promote or suppress certain views.

How is it that so few people, not to mention so few organizations readily imposing them, seem unwilling to challenge WHY there is such an obsession with vaccines and mandates? Can one of you smart scientist fellas out there explain in simple terms exactly what public good is expected to be accomplished by vaccine mandates, other than, um, forcing everyone to get a vaccine? With every passing day it seems more and more clear that these vaccines don’t solve the problem they purported to solve. What public health or societal benefit is proposed to be achieved by mass mandates? Why aren’t people demanding an answer to that question while corporations and hospitals and schools and airlines and vital governmental agencies are mandating vaccines for all and in the process inflicting massive harm on people? Near as I can tell, vaccinated people still become infected. They also still transmit infection to others. Even the mandate enforcers grudgingly acknowledge those facts. Sure, some small subset of vaccinated people may possibly suffer less severe outcomes if they become infected, but how does requiring everyone else to be vaccinated benefit them? Evidence seems mounting that whatever benefit may accrue to that subset is fleeting any may not provide any real gain at all, especially when factoring in the near term and longer term harms. Besides, aren’t therapeutics the medically preferred option for dealing with just these circumstances? Come to think of it, if they don’t prevent infection nor transmission, aren’t therapeutics what the “vaccines” really are? Again, what is the logic behind requiring everyone to get vaccinated if they don’t prevent you from becoming infected or from infecting others and provide no material benefit to the vast majority of those subjected to them? Imposing a therapeutic on everyone, forcing them to bear known and unknown side effects when more than 99% are not at risk seems, well, questionable at best for the policy’s stated purpose, assuming there is a stated purpose beyond simply injecting everyone. “Look, Mom, we’ve gotten everyone to wear their tin foil hats. Now what happens?”

Forcing those who question or object to such senseless policy mandates to lose their jobs, their livelihoods, their education, their ability to travel freely, dine in restaurants, attend sporting events and concerts, etc. while severely damaging our healthcare system, our education system, our military readiness, our police and fire departments, and more, seems the very definition of Machiavellian insanity. How is a vaccine mandate meaningfully different from mandating chemo treatment for everyone just in case some few may get cancer? Don’t we limit treatment to only the ill and leave the other 99%+ alone? Requiring mass treatment of those who don’t need it and don’t benefit from it doesn’t change the outcomes for those needing treatment.

It’s as though everyone was invited to join the Mickey Mouse Club. They got to wear Mickey Mouse ears and were promised treats and games and all sorts of fun. Then, they were told everyone HAD to join because it would be so much fun, and you all MUST wear the ears - ALWAYS. Then, it turned out there were no treats. No games. No fun or even any club at all. The ears are too big or too small for most. They are too heavy or too flimsy. They were made in China using materials perhaps toxic to many. A few ears may fit, but still you got no treats or fun. And don’t dare remove those ears. You MUST wear the ears ALWAYS! No matter that there are no games and no fun or treats as promised. No matter that the ears are silly and unnecessary or even painful and perhaps harmful to many. You will all wear the ears because we SAID you all must wear ears even without a club or treats or fun.

Sounds a little too Jim Jones-esque for my taste, but then again, I never was much for kool-aid. It must be an acquired taste. “Trust me, the kool-aid is delicious once you get used to it.”

My thoughts exactly. Every time the media or government talk about COVID they always say "everyone must get vaccinated". But no-one ever properly explains why. They'll run a story about how there is an outbreak at some nursing home and say 95% of staff and residents were vaccinated but then say its really important everyone gets vaccinated. Why is it no-one ever says that doesn't make any sense?

It called collectivism. They want universal collectivism. Thus, it's imperative that everyone submits and participates. And it must be a uniform response, so alternative drugs or natural immunity is rejected. It's the same spirit behind fascism and communism. As individualists, it's hard to understand. Conversely, they struggle to understand us. They throw up their arms in frustration wondering, "Why can't they play along? Why are so freakin' stubborn?" Collectivists see beauty, virtue, and hope in unity and cooperation. They see the "group"or "society" as the supreme unit. Submission of individuality for the good of the whole is the ultimate act of virtue. Fear serves to ignite their collectivist urges, thus collectivism is demanded for the sake of collectivism, even if it clearly serves only a mystical purpose. It's their knee-jerk reaction to panic. My big question - Is covid really to cause of their fear? Or is this a pre-existing anxiety that has latched itself to covid? If it is, we could have a long road ahead.

"Is covid really to cause of their fear?" Psychologist Mattias Desmet pointed out that the sort of witch hunts we're seeing now develop when society has already become very anxious.

I don't know Olbermann (nor do I wish to), but I will agree with just one of his claims. In fact, we are "afraid" -- of coercion to vaccinate everybody with medications that are innovative and largely of an untested nature, and with unproven (and evidently less than promised) safety and efficacy. Never in our lives, perhaps not in our history, did people face loss of employment, or refusal to be hired, to attend a school, or even go into restaurants and countless other everyday activities, solely because we chose to not try a questionable medicine. Why the insistence that the young, even small children, be vaccinated with what can be reasonably called an experimental product? Why are we forcing millions of people, who are statistically at very low risk of the disease, to potentially fall victim to sudden death, severe illness, or other short and long term effects?

By all means, call us any disparaging names you like. But please don't take away our civil liberties just because we don't want to get on the vaxx train. Most of us will take our chances with a virus that -- in all probability -- poses us very little risk. If we take the vaxxes, we get -- at best -- temporary protection but at a cost of serious injury or death. Early reports put the risks of the vaxxes at many multiples of traditional vaccines. The unvaxxed are no threat to the vaxxed. Your trying to force us to join the club shows that there is a deeper, unsavory agenda in play.

It's past time to ask nicely. Forget about pleading. I'm done with the "please and thank you". We all need to fight back with whatever means available. Millions of people are protesting in Europe. Try to find local rallies. Connect with freedom-loving neighbors. Boycott businesses that require the v passports or pcr tests. And get active in local politics because THIS AGENDA IS POLITICAL. I was a Democrat my whole life (57 y.o.) but the only politicians defending my rights to medical freedom are Republicans. So, I am voting for ALL Republicans for now because I've become a 1-issue voter. This is for my kids (17 & 19) who are feeling trapped. This is for the future of our democracy. We must fight to avoid turning into Australia.

I would say it's more manipulation than argument. One of the problems we've seen is that people who want to push masks on everyone, lockdown on everyone, vaccines on everyone have resorted to smearing and fearmongering rather than explaining their views with facts. (Of course, if they lack facts, it explains why they resort to childish but damaging behavior.)
