This will be a short post writing wise, but heavy on reading suggestions. So many are doing great work, it’s better value if you clicked over to refer you to the essays.
That said, I have been thinking about the big picture as of late. And two American Football analogies come to mind.
Fitting the Ball into Tight Windows
In Football, a common defense strategy is not so much to cover a pass catcher perfectly with one guy, you need a top flight cornerback for that, but to force the ball thrower (quarterback) to fit the ball into a very small window.
Like the greatest of all time, Tom Brady. This one to all world tight end, Rob Gronkowski. The ball can really only be ONE place and be caught, and Brady delivers.
This is the push for booster after booster. Stick with me here!
When you continually start with a smaller population and they have a vastly shorter time frame to have Sars2 infection/hosp/death of course that group will have lower numbers. Over time, it all evens out. But after every booster the officials can say “after booster X rates of Y are lower!” but it’s all a mirage.
And now for the main theme.
Is This The "Prevent Defense"?
Another football analogy is the “prevent defense”. The team that is leading as time dwindles down will often back off with defense and trade time on the clock (to end game) for on field successful plays to the offense. 90% of the time, it fails in spectacular fashion, but it’s still used today.
Remind you of anything?
I will start with Massachusetts. My home state.
Only chart I will do on cases is this one. No one can really argue the vaccines do anything against transmission at this point. I won’t spend time on it.
After 2 booster rollouts, cases on May 6th where 4 times as high as 2021, and 2 times as high as 2020 with no vaccine. Give it up, it’s not 30%, 12% whatever number effective against infection. Mark it ZERO and it may be negative for the boosted folks. More on that in a bit.
So, the vaccine prevents hospitalizations and deaths? Right? Right?
Well, for who?
Massachusetts vaccine uptake and booster uptake panel:
We really only care about the ages 65 and over in regards to Sars2 events. Cold I know, but also the only age group with a high risk level for this virus.
Ok, so highly vaxxed and highly boosted (3rd dose), 4th dose is…….slow. Hmm. Why?
Well, no risk of being in hospital then!
Ugh, ok well ALL DEATHS ARE PREVENTABLE by the vaccine!!!! Right?
Well, I dunno. Could this be the very last of the unvaccinated elderly in Massachusetts dying? Been this way for a year now, so I imagine after our 2020 Spring wave and ventilator death sentence “treatment” plan there cannot be many left. I call bullshit.
And many are piecing it together.
The Bad Cat with another great write up:
I will “borrow” a slide of his for your attention. Vermont hospitalizations by age. See anything?
Ok.
Alex Berenson (yes, the great controversial one!) has also put work into this, take a look:
Again, Vermont is a perfect study due to general isolation by geography and how highly vaccinated they are as a state:
Alex had this world chart up, see anything?:
Joel Smalley has this essay which clearly shows vaccine failure at just about everything in Denmark:
Oooooooffff.
Sheldon here has Canada covered:
LOL, 70-80% of all kids have already had Sars2, and the vaccine sucks for them. Why are we doing this?
Rusty has a good question. I mean, 7 billion people have died since 1900 for one reason or another, why keep counting Sars2 deaths like this? Makes no sense and adds no value, just shock effect. 90% are over age 75. Sorry to be cold, but they always die in large numbers. Fact of life, and death:
Ok, that’s all I have.
Have a good night.
