Every day the vaccines looks like a worse and worse route.
Mass vaccination never made sense despite almost everyone on this board being for it. The takes just get worse and worse.
I've not vetted these numbers, but have no reason to doubt validity
We know the covid cowards aren't interested though

Natural immunity does work better than a vaccine. This is not surprising because the vaccine exposes the human body to just a fragment of the virus, the so-called spike protein.
There are two important advantages to vaccines, however. One is that exposure to the virus itself kills people and makes them seriously sick, sometimes with long-term disability. This doesn't happen from the vaccine. The second advantage is that vaccination can happen in a short period of time, which can allow societies such as Denmark to return to normal quickly.
Btw Sweden also has quite a high vaccination rates. They are not adopting a strategy of natural immunity instead of vaccines. Vaccines are their main strategy.
Vaccination for healthy people makes no sense. Never did. Never will.
The reason you vaccinate healthy people who face little risk is to protect vulnerable populations.
For example, schools have long required chicken pox vaccines for school children. Even though it is not a serious disease for school age children. I'm old enough to have been around before the chicken pox vaccine became available. All it meant for me was two weeks home away from school. It was a blessing.
It is a serious problem for other populations. The vaccine is not effective in children under age 1. By achieving herd immunity we have greatly reduced incidence of chicken pox in infants under age 1, who do become seriously ill from chicken pox. Adults can also become seriously ill, especially pregnant women (and their unborn children) and the immuno-compromised. Since mandating vaccines among school age children, the incidence of chicken pox has been greatly diminished among those vulnerable populations. Far few pregnant women have contracted it and this has saved a lot of lives, including the unborn.
thethe, do you know where I can get some ivermectine suppositories?
I hope you are at least making money from the promoting of lies and misinformation. If not, that would be pretty sad.
Vaccination doesn’t prevent spread regardless of how many times you say it.
The evidence that it does is overwhelming.
Look at percentage of covid tests coming back positive in the five most highly vaccinated states:
Vermont 4%
Massachusetts 3%
Connecticut 4%
Maine 5%
Rhode Island 3%
And compare the rate with the 5 least vaccinated states
Mississippi 20%
Alabama 19%
Wyoming 11%
Idaho 20%
West Virginia 12%
The data are overwhelming in terms of showing the vaccines reduce transmission. Bigly.
And they reduce serious illness and death very bigly.
