Food For Thought

Rather than spend time debating, in this post I’ve attached several articles I’ve collected. The last one, which discusses the effectiveness of the annual flu vaccine is of particular interest, when you realize that as the number of vaccinated elderly increased, so did the number of elderly deaths. You can read and determine for yourself. In fact, you can even debate the legitimacy of the source if you’d like. The point is, there’s plenty of conflicting information out there. Our own CDC has been all over the place in their directions, information, and edicts. Vaccine companies have made billions off of the fear of this virus. Government has gained more power and control over the people it is supposed to represent than ever before. As have corporations and health organizations, which are now determining who deserves health coverage or even a transplant based upon vaccination status.

Comparisons have been made to other vaccines, even though those diseases were massively different in their impact to society AND (most importantly) those vaccines actually prevented both the ability to pass on the disease and the ability to catch the disease. Neither of those facts apply to the Covid vaccines. Vaccinated individuals have been proven to pass on the virus and they are still susceptible to the virus. The only actual argument which can still be made is that they could reduce the impact of the virus, but even that is up for debate in some of the death numbers coming out of highly vaccinated areas.

So, don’t just be sheep following blindly. Recognize that there are people, governments, institutions, companies, and countries who have much to gain from the continued fear, the division, the bitterness between vaxxed and unvaxxed, and the money which is available through this pandemic. Even the title of pandemic can be debated by a virus with such a high recovery rate. You decide.

All this said, am I anti-vax? Absolutely not. I would never tell anyone not to get the vax. If you believe you are vulnerable, if you have certain morbidities, if you just feel the need to contribute to society in that way — then by all means, follow your heart, your mind, or your leaders. And I will respect your decision. I truly will. I won’t demean you for your personal choice.

In fact, in my area the vast majority are probably not vaccinated, I couldn’t say for sure. But I can say I don’t really know anyone who is “anti-vax.” They have just made the decision not to be vaccinated – for whatever reason they determined. In my case, I’ve had it. I have faith that my body is designed to make antibodies against it. I don’t choose to hamper my body’s functions by taking a vaccine, when my body is doing the same thing the vaccine would do.

And that’s the problem. The large majority of vaccinated can’t respect that. They claim the unvaccinated are a danger. To whom? The vaccinated? They are vaccinated. If it works, it works. In fact, it could be said that the vaccinated are a danger to the unvaccinated since they can still spread the virus. So, then are the unvaccinated a danger to the unvaccinated? They have chosen to be unvaccinated by this point. They aren’t a danger to anyone. And kids? Well, I just won’t go there since they are the least vulnerable in society. You’re the parent make a decision, but remember you decided.

Even if you’ve been vaccinated, there is still more for you to consider. How many times will you be vaccinated? Will there be a point at which you are vaccinated enough or will you have to get a booster every six months for the rest of your life? Will you need a vaccination for future viruses? Are you going to continue to mask after you are vaccinated? Why is that? If you are unvaccinated, do you have a particular reason and is it acceptable to society? Are you a danger to society? How is that? Will you oppose all vaccines or just this one? Are you anti-vax or just anti-vax for you? Here’s food for thought in the event you only listen to MSM. Make your own decision. I’m not telling you what to do.

Impact of Influenza Vaccination on Seasonal Mortality in the US Elderly Population

Lone Simonsen, PhD; Thomas A. Reichert, MD, PhD; Cecile Viboud, PhD; et alWilliam C. Blackwelder, PhD; Robert J. Taylor, PhD; Mark A. Miller, MDAuthor AffiliationsArticle Information Arch Intern Med. 2005;165(3):265-272. doi:10.1001/archinte.165.3.265 Abstract

Background  Observational studies report that influenza vaccination reduces winter mortality risk from any cause by 50% among the elderly. Influenza vaccination coverage among elderly persons (≥65 years) in the United States increased from between 15% and 20% before 1980 to 65% in 2001. Unexpectedly, estimates of influenza-related mortality in this age group also increased during this period. We tried to reconcile these conflicting findings by adjusting excess mortality estimates for aging and increased circulation of influenza A(H3N2) viruses.

Methods  We used a cyclical regression model to generate seasonal estimates of national influenza-related mortality (excess mortality) among the elderly in both pneumonia and influenza and all-cause deaths for the 33 seasons from 1968 to 2001. We stratified the data by 5-year age group and separated seasons dominated by A(H3N2) viruses from other seasons.

Results  For people aged 65 to 74 years, excess mortality rates in A(H3N2)-dominated seasons fell between 1968 and the early 1980s but remained approximately constant thereafter. For persons 85 years or older, the mortality rate remained flat throughout. Excess mortality in A(H1N1) and B seasons did not change. All-cause excess mortality for persons 65 years or older never exceeded 10% of all winter deaths.

Conclusions  We attribute the decline in influenza-related mortality among people aged 65 to 74 years in the decade after the 1968 pandemic to the acquisition of immunity to the emerging A(H3N2) virus. We could not correlate increasing vaccination coverage after 1980 with declining mortality rates in any age group. Because fewer than 10% of all winter deaths were attributable to influenza in any season, we conclude that observational studies substantially overestimate vaccination benefit
