So as you probably know, the federal government has approved this new âbivalentâ booster shot to help protect you from the evil coronavirus that has an infection fatality rate of about 0.1% which is the same as the seasonal flu. This would be your fourth (or possibly fifth) shot in roughly 20 months of a new mRNA âvaccineâ that you were promised IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS would keep you from becoming infected with coronaâŚno I mean keep you from symptomatic COVâŚno I mean keep you from serious illness and death. Yes, definitely those last two. DEFINITELY. Thatâs why we now âknowâ this new bivalent vax will work; because they told us so and it has not one but TWO different variants in it. And by the way, not only is this one better, if for some reason you wanted a booster of the previous concoction, you canât get that anymore, because this one is so much better.
Whew, good thing our overlords and medical âexpertsâ are looking out for us. But in what can only be called a âcoincidenceâ, nary seven weeks after approving the new bivalent vaccine (and eliminating the old booster) which will definitely work to preventâŚOK not infection, transmission, or symptomatic illness, but definitely severe illness or death, a report is released BY THE CDC telling us (my bold) âCDC: Monovalent Vax Has 'Limited' Protection Against BA.4/5 Hospitalizationâ.
Wait what? What happened to the vax will protect us from âsevere illnessâ? This report tells us âIn immunocompetent adults, vaccine effectiveness (VE) against hospitalization with three doses of mRNA vaccine dropped from 69% during the BA.1/BA.2 period to 31% during BA.4/BA.5âŚDuring the period of BA.4/BA.5 specifically, protection against hospitalization declined from 60% in the first 4 months from the third dose to 29% thereafterâ So after THREE SHOTS the vaccineâs protection against HOSPITALIZATION was AT MOST 69% and then dropped all the way down to 29%? And remember these numbers are in healthy people (who never needed any of these shots), not âimmune compromisedâ people. And this is from the CDC itself (so you can bet those numbers are padded). Hey remember when the vaccine provided â95% protectionâ against even âgettingâ COVID? Remember how we were later assured repeatedly that, OK if it doesnât prevent infection or transmission, at least it would keep you out of the hospital? Just 29% after three shots and only four months? Good times. Oh, and yeah, itâs probably a really good idea to keep priming your immune system to repeatedly go into overdrive to produce a protein completely foreign to human existence. Thatâll probably end well.
But hey thatâs all old news. Donât worry, those statistics are for the âMonovalent Vaxâ. Monovalent, shmonovalent; thatâs yesterdayâs tech and itâs for losers. All the cool kids are now taking the BIVALENT shots. See how that works? None of that 29% nonsense should matter now as we have this really cool âbivalentâ vaccine which forces your body to produce not one but TWO viral proteins. Itâs part original Wuhan strain, part BA.4/BA.5, so NOW we definitely have nothing to worry about. After all, it was tested on eight whole mice becauseâŚscience. Who cares that the effectiveness of every one of these vaccines waned down to zero (or worse) in just months; who cares that you âneedâ a new shot every six, five, three, or even two months? Now we are covering BOTH evil-doer strains. Case closed, roll up your sleeveâŚ
Exceepptt, for articles like this published this week: âNew Yorkâs struggle with the new Omicron variant BQ is trying to tell us somethingâ wherein weâre told âRight now, New York is seeing mounting cases of the extremely transmissible, immune-evasive BQ family of COVID variants, , which includes BQ.1 and BQ.1.1.â Hey, a new boogeyman, and just in time for the holidays! But donât worry, this new âbivalentâ vaccine will definitely be effective against ANY new variants that come along. And if not, Pfizer will be happy to make a new vax, maybe even by Christmas if necessary. That would make such a thoughtful stocking-stuffer, don't you think? Just be prepared for all sorts of ânew variantâ and âimmune escapeâ talk from your Aunt Karen who only drops her mask long enough to shovel turkey into her disease-spreader at the Thanksgiving table this year. Sweet.
And am I the only one who thinks itâs âinterestingâ that this information about how poorly the vaccines actually worked doesnât come to light until after the ânewâ one comes out? Did you EVER hear an inkling from Fauci about the ââLimitedâ Protectionâ of the previous vaccine while they were pushing it? Anybody remember Biden mumbling something about 29%? No? Me neither.
Now some of us have been showing you data from all over the world (not in this country where we just âfollow the scienceâ with no data at all) that there was really no protection against hospitalization or death from the vax, but many out there âknewâ those of us discussing actual data were crackpots because Rachel Maddow told you so. It appears yesterdayâs crackpot is todayâs oracle.
If this wasnât so serious it would be funny. Itâll be interesting to see who they blame next for this new vaccineâs failure; bats, pangolins, orange man bad, the filthy unvaccinated, the Corbomite Maneuver (Google it), Putin? Iâm not sure whoâs left. Anyway, we are once again left with our leaders either being incompetents or liars. Your choice.
