The FDA does not (and certainly the CDC does not) have interest in presenting vaccination dangers in a way to fully communicates them. The CDC is a vaccine distribution PR organization, and has been so for (frankly) decades. (I know we disagree on this point!) As such, these "mistakes" are not errors, but simply part of the narrative that supports the outcome they want. And now, if you will excuse me, I need to return to polishing my Tin-Foil Hat. Conspiracy Analysis tends to tarnish it!
To extend your analogy, there are reports that people who make it to the bunker may be subject to increased risk in the months and years ahead because the enemy is possibly working on a weapon—the Advanced Defense Eviscerator (ADE), which is specially designed to kill people inside the bunker, but not very good at killing people outside the bunker. And it may even have a feature whereby it seeks out people and kills them even after they've left the bunker.
It's a little harder to quantify the risk because we're not sure whether the enemy is going to produce the ADE, or how effective it will be if they do. But it seems that soldiers should be told about it. Especially since they could risk that lasts even longer than the current battle.
Thank you for vindication, word-for-word, my back of napkin theory I've held for about two months now. I honestly waited all day, eagerly, for this article. Now persuade people more powerful than me to punish what should be an obviously evil and corrupt LIE.
It isn't even worthy of being called dissembling or deliberately misreading data. It is a knowing torture of language, 1984-style: dead + vaccinated = unvaccinated.
It is a murderous lie by people who are so invested in never, EVER admitting fault that they would sooner die than do so. Maybe after enough of us have suffered for it, they'll get their wish.
Doesn't this mean that COVID is more of an opportunistic disease due to a suppressed immune system rather than simply being in the presence of someone who has COVID and you catch it? This is also testimony to the nurses and doctors who worked with COVID patients for 1 year without catching it. To catch it, you need a weakened immune system.
It is, in fact, improper clinical trial analysis to not date and assign all bad outcomes to first second of onset of dosing. Everyone who has ever worked in the pharma business knows this- you would never get this sort of thing by the FDA in a normal clinical trial or a post market surveillance report. It is quite stunning corruption, and makes me ashamed I was ever a medicinal chemist in this country.
I think it's worse than your analogy. The "bunker" is only an illusion and the "vaccine" is not simply elevating risk but causing you direct harm. Your analogy implies there's this sniper out there shooting at you, and the vaccine makes your chance of getting hit by him increased. I believe a more correct analogy is that taking this "vaccine" is more like playing Russian roulette on your way to the illusion of a bunker.
excellent analogy. I'm deeply annoyed that if they were going to mandate vaccines, why didn't they do it early summer when cases were way down? Now they want to mandate through the Fall and Winter? when cases are going up? they want to mandate first doses on 80 million people?!? are they nuts?!?
If you read this after 17th Sept that link will take you to the wrong page but they have a calendar on their site (access through a computer not a phone to easily find it) where you can pick the day.
This is becoming a regular occurence, and a great thing that an eminent internet feline is being published in a site that we know a number of UK MPs and other prominent UK lockdown sceptic journalists and medics etc follow 😼
It also inflates the REWARD. If the vaccine's first dose is leading to more people getting infected, then they are heading into the "fully vaccinated" category already having natural immunity
I posed this concern previously but it was after most of the discussion and not sure many others saw it. It would seem those with natural immunity may, since they already have immunity, not have seen the same spike in cases immediately after vaccination. If that were to be the case, this situation is even worse. The 25-40% of the data set (far lower percent in the initial Pfizer studies) that already had covid would be able to get to the safety of the bunker without crossing the field. They would have lower risk and lower benefit (still not a compelling case).
This would actually skew the apparent risk downward relative to the data presented here. In that case, the risk to those naive to covid-19 is even higher during that initial window.

Super important point you are making. This data manipulation is so criminal. 😡

PCR testing: I'm sorry to report sir, you have been shot.
But I don't feel like I'm shot.
No, you have definitely been shot. Go back to the foxhole. Try to get to the bunker, if you don't die.
Maybe I'll just put on some armor and stay in the foxhole
No we strongly suggest you make it to the bunker, going to require it now
My armor works just fine but whatever

GREAT ARTICLE. Best explanation of a complex issue.
Excellent. The writing/analysis too but the cat diagrams are priceless.
Thanks for writing this. The FDA has become captive like the SEC. Everyone is on their own.
El Gato you've just been quoted again by the UK's Daily Sceptic site (17th Sept daily update, scroll down to News Round Up).

Also, What if it's a bunker that is crumbling and will eventually lead to you being in another fox hole about to make a run for another bunker?
