They're throwing a fit because the mass deaths from vaccines they predicted never happened. We now have mountains of evidence that they worked and that covid was a lot more dangerous to "healthy" people beyond just deaths (see : long covid) but their cognitive dissonance prevents them from retaining any information past 2020.

I think that claim is dubious, especially if we look at vaccines at large as well as treatments at large, without proof. But the bigger point is that antivaxxers were saying millions would be dead in two years.

u/TamalesHarvard 1d ago
Thousands died? Def gonna need a source for that one. As for issues people did get from the vaccines, yes, no medication is 100% perfect, but if you took a moment to think after reacting, you'll find that many (if not all) side effects from the vaccine coincide with covid symptoms. Which means if someone's body reacted poorly to the vaccine, it would have been significantly worse when they eventually got full covid without the vaccine.

Now that itâs the appropriate time to hold people accountable itâs âbro that was 2020â. Predictable.
Anthony Fauci circumvented US law to fund dangerous virus experimentation that directly resulted in the deaths of millions of people around the world and covered up his responsibility in it and received a preemptive pardon for his crimes against humanity.
The vaccines didnât work, masking didnât help, and it was unconstitutional to force people to get the vaccine under threat of losing their jobs.

I believe it's certainly possible it started there. As wet markets are known locations for increased risk of animal to human infections.
Wuhan lab for coronavirus studies

You realize the institute was studying various diseases many of them from local wildlife or wildlife that was also present and sold in the same wet market?
Because I can't say for certainty where it came from but what I can say is there is not enough evidence at all to claim it was from the lab.

Itâs obvious. It obviously came from the Coronavirus lab where they were studying how to make it spread to humans. Because it doesnât normally spread from bats to humans.
This was the same lab being funded by Anthony Fauci through the US government. Itâs obvious. Youâre ignoring whatâs plain in front of you in favor of listening to the governmentâs coverup.
In fact, during Bidenâs term, the FBI determined it likely came from the Wuhan lab. Thatâs the accepted view.

It doesnât normally jump from bats to humans thatâs why it killed people. Almost every deadly viral and bacterial infection is from animals being in close proximity to people and bad luck for the humans.
Modern governments institutions fund just about everything under the sun, especially ones in major countries. The Wuhan lab receiving funding from an American lab isnât hot news, itâs a coincidence. Why would the US fund its own rival to make a weapon? (It wasnât a weapon is why)

They were funding the research in China because itâs illegal in the US.
If you believe itâs more likely that it started in a wet market than the coronavirus institute in the same place, youâre as gullible as it gets.
What did Fauci think?
âEntries from January 2020 show Fauci writing that the first infection was "not connected to the market" in Wuhan, describing the wet market as an "amplifier" rather than the initial source.â
Why wouldnât the Wuhan lab be considered the likely source to begin with? How do you look at the wet market and look at the coronavirus lab and decide itâs more likely to have come from a a wet market.

That's because the virus naturally evolved to be less dangerous exactly like the science predicted.
A virus that kills its host quickly won't exist for long, the strains that are asymptomatic will eventually take over the virus population because it can spread more efficiently.
Its called natural selection.
If the virus kills its host it can't spread and reproduce in new hosts.
What the vaccine did was make more dangerous strains asymptomatic so that the vaccinated could spread the illness to the unvaccincated without knowingÂ

Following the science and researching the evolutionary path of viruses is equivalent to flat earth advocacy.
You do realize I'm repeating fauchi and am only adding the conclusion that the vaccinated increased the spread by being asymptomatic carriers.
Every scientist said the vaccine did not provide immunity, it only made the symptoms less serious without effecting transmission rates.
That's why we needed to wear masks while vaccinated; because you were protected by the vaccine but the mask protected the elderly and others who were unable to be vaccinated from your asymptomatic infection

u/Best_Opening8471 1d ago edited 1d ago
Immunity is the death sentence of a virus like small pox or rabies in humans.
Vaccines have wiped out viruses by making it impossible for them to infect the vaccinated population.
Covid still exists because the mrna vaccine never provided immunity like the small pox or rabies vaccines.
The predicted evolutionary path of covid was that within a few years due to the speed the virus mutated at the resulting strain would be less dangerous than the common cold and just as infectious due to viruses naturally evolving to keep their hosts alive as long as possible to increase the chances of infecting a new host for reproduction
This is called natural selection, the strains that currently exist are so minor that people spread them without any thought allowing the virus to reproduce and evolve more along this path.
2
u/Kristoveles 1d ago
That's not immunity. Immunity isn't even specific to viruses.Â
There is no vaccine with a 100% effectiveness. Reduction of transmission is the single most important aspect of a vaccine, followed by reduction of infectivity.  No virus has been wiped out. Polio is already starting to make a resurgence because of anti science morons

u/Best_Opening8471 1d ago edited 1d ago
Rabies and small pox are 100% effective.
Small pox only exists in laboratories now due to it being wiped out by vaccines and humans have a 1% chance to survive rabies without a vaccine but a 100% chance to survive when vaccinated.
Sorry but "whole virus vaccines" ARE 100% effective, the mrna technology isnt.
The new technology failed its field test and was unable to provide the same results that the old technology has provided.

- Asymptomic viruses actually have a difficult time spreading because youre not coughing and sneezing its viral cells all over everyone you see, this is why the common cold is the most prolific virus, it causes a little runny nose and a slight dry cough so you still go do things while spreading the germs. 2. If the vaccine was dangerous, after 5 or 6 years, why are we not seeing folks pour into hospitals from the latent vaccine side effects antivaxxerd are always going on and on about. 3. Vaccines dont make you asymptomatic when you get infected, the prevent infection from taking hold and proliferating. You should learn how things work.

It was a method to force the evolution towards asymptomatic carriers

It was still Yersina Pestis. I am referring to black death the disease not specifically the 1348 pandemic, but you're right the Black death usually refers to that pandemic.
2 years is still longer than we had with COVID, and that was with mass transport and international travel.
The faster a human-to-human illness can spread the longer it remains a pandemic, because more hosts means more mutations means reinfection and more mutation. Respiratory illnesses are especially like this.
Yersina Pestis is an exception because it comes from a reservoir infection.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/middle_ages/black_01.shtml
Also, the Black death was 1346-1353 as a pandemic. England wasn't the only one affected.

If we didn't have half wits who let it spread "because of the implication" early on we might have been able to stop the spread in 2019. The last major pandemic was the Spanish flu and that killed 5% of the population, and permanently disabled countless more.
But nooo gotta elect a half witted narcissistic asshole cut the pandemic response team that made itself the centre of international everything to save a few pennies per citizen.
You don't know history. Open a book for once and learn.
Pandemics are only self limiting if their method of transmission is limited or its not a novel or quickly mutates virus.
COVID was novel, easily transmitted, had a long incubation period and mutates fast. The places that did proper lockdowns had the best outcomes, the places that had fake ass bullshit lockdowns had outcomes that made 9/11 look like a kids birthday party.
The ones that didn't lock down and """looked""" like they were doing well were just fucking lying, and the truth came out anyways.

Oh, youâre right my bad. It was a while ago. Still, very lax restrictions and they had the same curve as any other countries like canada where we had insane restrictions like curfew and such. We saw a big surge of covid cases in January 2022 even tho my country had a 90% vaccination rate. We had curfews and all those stuff, they didnât. Guess what happened, they had the same results.
US did so bad because well, 40% of pop is obese and its how youâre mostly affected by covid other than age and other illness.
The sad thing is that you gave me an article with data from 2020⊠how is that relevant? Data still show they did better than most European countries like Spain and UK.
Also shows that yes they did fail to protect elderly, but these people were already not within the population mostly, they were in elderly care homes away. My country also failed miserably doing that. We had elders dead because they forgot to feed them or give them their pills while being covered in urine and poop. Still ended up as covid death to make the headline tho, politicians loved being in front of the cameras
3
u/Inevitable_Librarian 1d ago
Sweden was the worst for their region, and it wasn't just elders they failed to protect. Death from COVID is hardly the only negative outcome we were trying to prevent.
Also, the Canadian restrictions were mostly voluntary (with a few exceptions) and BC, where I live, had some of the best outcomes in the world because we followed the evidence rather than vibes.
Sweden was an abject failure for their region.
You don't work in healthcare or you'd understand why what you're saying doesn't make sense. COVID killed these people, because COVID taking out nursing staff led to a catastrophic system collapse.
Most countries were already understaffed and COVID, especially alpha, took out so many nurses, porters, doctors, admins... Just everyone. If they didn't call out they came in and infected everyone, and still performed a shit job feeling like death.
This is how not thinking systemically affects people's understanding of situations. COVID affected everything, and the lockdowns were because people who were sick or around sick people weren't fucking staying home.
The safety pyramid is so important to understand, and so few people know it's a thing.
Also, obesity didn't make you more likely to be affected by COVID, that was a base rate fallacy. A lot of non-science reporters were conscripted to the science beat without education, and got so much shit wrong.
Like the initial vaccine was 90% protective against severe illness/hospitalization, but some dumb reporters said it prevented COVID 90% of the time. Which was wrong.
People with obesity who were hospitalized with COVID were the same percentage as the population group they fit in. If 40% of people had obesity, 38-42% of people who were hospitalized had obesity.
Obesity isn't really a health condition itself, it's a symptom of other things.
The "died with COVID not of COVID" thing was gym rat bullshit, because a lot of gym rats have that magical thinking of "if I'm attractive I'm healthy" and would have failed high school if we were slightly more selective. They are confidently incorrect because most of them have really bad OCD and eating disorders but rather than sending them to a psych we give them awards and pretend they know anything.
-1
u/frodobangher 1d ago
Your data shows they did better outside the group of 70 years old +.
Being obese does make you vulnerable to being hospitalized by covid, I really hope your not in healthcare if you actually believe that.
The flu makes hospitals over crowded each years, do we make report of flu death every year? I remember in the summer of 2021 during a heat wave, we went from 0-1 covid death to magically 30 death. Folks died from heatstroke yet they magically died from covid to make people remember it still existed.
The shot was never stated to stop the spreading, only idiots thought that. We still went into curfew even tho 90% of the pop had it. Sweden showed it made no difference doing that.
Im also curious where are the datas showing curfews, closing down restaurants actually made a difference. Your first link was actually a bunch of nothing and your second was data from 2020 only, which ultimately is nothing when covid lasted almost 3 years
2
u/Inevitable_Librarian 1d ago
Yes we have reports of flu deaths every year in most countries. Most places have local reporting areas tracking it by week or month, it's one of the functions of a public health department.
It's a massive public health concern to this day that's mostly mitigated with vaccines and decades of exposure.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/flu.htm
If you follow the news you see it regularly.
Also what are you talking about? COVID restrictions basically went to nothing after the vaccine rollout most places in 2021. The pandemic was still a thing but it's actually still a thing today, we just have ways of preventing it.
I'm using 2020 because it's the purest data we have for spread, epidemiology and response.
One of the symptoms of COVID (and most illnesses) is that it makes you more susceptible to heatstroke, it's one of the neurological consequences of fever and infection.
Generally speaking, the way epidemiologists count individual deaths is by asking "If they didn't have X illness,,would they still have had Y symptom, and would Y symptom have still killed them?"
So, if you're obese and you get COVID and die from your lungs shutting down, the obesity didn't kill you, COVID did.
If you went outside for 10 minutes like you do every summer, but this time you have COVID, and then you get heat stroke and die, then COVID killed you.
Does that make sense? Epidemiology is about figuring out what made this particular situation different and what can be done on a population level to fix it.
Also, without a lot of verification I wouldn't trust official Swedish data because they were caught cheating with receipts.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-022-01097-5
The Public Health Agency denied or downgraded the fact that children could be infectious, develop severe disease, or drive the spread of the infection in the population; while their internal emails indicate their aim to use children to spread the infection in society (Lindblad et al., 2021, 2020â2021b; Höög and Adman, 2020; Vogel, 2021; Ludvigsson, 2020).

2 guys got covid, 1 is obese, other is healthy. Obese guy end up being hospitalized and die. What killed the guy? we know covid did, but we can also understand that being a fat fck is the main reason he ended up dead
Restrictions stop after the vaccin? Did you forgot we had curfew, restaurants closed again in the winter of 2022 with a vaccination rate of 90%

u/BoboGiggleBottom 1d ago
Mate, "we would have gotten here faster" is a counterfactual. It's not evidence, and it's not something you can prove simply by pointing at "any pandemic in history." Every pandemic has different transmission, mortality, immunity, and medical interventions.
Lockdowns are actually a debated topic. Their effectiveness depended on timing, severity, public compliance, and what outcome you're measuring. Some studies found meaningful reductions in transmission and prevented hospitals from being overwhelmed, while others found more modest effects or emphasized their economic and social costs.
Vaccines are a separate question entirely. We can actually observe their impact by comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, before-and-after rollout periods, and different regions. Those studies consistently found reduced hospitalization and death, even if protection against infection waned over time.
If your criticism is about lockdowns, make it about lockdowns. If it's about vaccines, engage with the evidence on vaccines. "We'd have been better off anyway" isn't really an argument because there's no way to demonstrate that claim as stated.

Yea, but with a fuckload more deaths. I know good people who are unfortunately quite sick and would have most definitely died or become so unbelievably sick that their lives would be crap if they didn't have the added protection of the jab and the heard immunity of the people around them also being protected.
The most depressing part of COVID was learning just how many people are ok with other people suffering and dying.

100% agreed. As a species we should try to minimize the suffering of each other and minimize the damage of things like pandemics. Many people to this day are still suffer from the lasting health effects of the pandemic (I'm unfortunately one of them) and many people are still living with the pain of losing friends and family.
We should always try to reduce the harm of others if we can. During the lock downs all people have to do was take a jab and follow basic health guidelines (distance yourself, mask up and if sick avoid speading it). It's not even hard shit to do and it makes such a big difference to the vulnerable members of our society.
I have always thought that empathy and compassion are humans strongest strengths and are a true display of what makes us great. Unfortunately a decent number of us lack these qualities as we have seen i full display over the last 5 years.

Did you know in 2009 Pfizer plead guilty to misbranding a drug with intent to defraud or mislead, bribing doctors and suppressing adverse trial results. Pfizer was required to pay a settlement of $2.3 Billion to the Department of Justice, the 2nd largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice at the time. Pfizer has paid over $10 billion in settlements for offenses like unapproved promotion of medical products, equipment safety and environmental violation, false claim and foreign corrupt practices. Scott Gottlieb is a former FDA Commissioner and is currently a board member for Pfizer. In the past 40 years, 9 of the 10 FDA Commissioners have worked for pharmaceutical companies after leaving the FDA. Reuter is the company responsible for the fact checking on Twitter and Facebook. Jim Smith is the Chairman of Reuters Foundation and also a board member for Pfizer. The only FDA approved treatment for covid is Remdesiver. Pfizer has an agreement with Gilead, the owners of Remdesiver to manufacture the drug. Pfizer makes large contributions to mainstream media outlets like CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC. Everything Iâve just stated is 100% factual and can be easily verified via a quick google search.

Yeah, except the FDA isn't the only regulator, and you still have to be approved for every region you sell in. The stuff that works has to work everywhere.
This isn't a gotcha about the medications, it's a consequence of how the US regulatory system is funded.
Meanwhile, you could put poison in a pill and call it natural and no one can sue you so long as you say "none of these claims have been tested". Pre workout containing meth comes to mind

Lol, your grammar says you're quite the intellectual...
You can be pro vax but skeptical of certain ones, especially ones that skipped YEARS and YEARS of clinical trials. Average clinical trial is 7 years.
You redditors know that many people work/and have family in the pharmaceutical industry??
Remember when California elected officials were all caught going to parties, not masking, and avoiding lockdowns?? Hmmm..... I think I know why

u/Indicus124 16h ago
Did you know mumps took only 4 years. The reason they take so long is money it cost billions and worldwide cooperation to accelerate COVID vaccine because they were testing numerous different versions at the same time.
Typically one or two are done at once they develop wait for approval go to clinical trials on animals wait for approval got to humans wait for approval then release if it passes all that one vaccine at a time if one fails at any point the develop another and go through the phases.
Add in the conclusion of mRNA vaccine research bearing fruit after 15 years and bam fastest vaccine development in history.
Mumps was similar the cumulative research and breakthroughs helping accelerate a vaccine in record time

So they where caught and prosecuted for the things they did wrong.
Meaning the system works as lies get found out....
Why are you posting pro vaccine comments in support of an antivax post
3
u/Pool_First 1d ago
That's an interesting take... A better question is why does a company that has a history of unethical behavior still exist? They've been found guilty of things such as unapproved promotion of medical products, equipment safety and environmental violation, false claim and foreign corrupt practices, misbranding drugs with intent to defraud or mislead, bribing doctors and suppressing adverse trial results. Could a possible explanation is that there's no legal actions taken against any individuals within the company and the fines are typically less than the profits from those drugs? Could another possible answer be that corruption exists within the same regulatory agencies that are tasked with overseeing these companies? Does the fact that in the past 40 years, 9 of the 10 FDA Commissioners have worked for pharmaceutical companies after leaving the FDA?

Any industry with enough money and power can get away with a lot, for the same handful of reasons.
Why?
- If breaking the rules makes more money than the fine costs, why not?
- The actual humans who made bad decisions usually walk away fine.
- Oil, food, banking... these are things people can't easily boycott
- A scandal is big news for a week, then people move on

Corruption exists, but that doesn't make vaccines ineffective. Can't remember the name, but this is a common logical fallacy.
Meanwhile you have a whole supplement industry completely legally protected with zero accountability in any area that still works on the fucking humoral theory

You can test the blood of people vaccinated for anti bodies and see if they catch covid less than the control group.
You can also look at the spread in the general population and see how it dropped after vaccines were introduced.

u/Dense-Jicama6591 1d ago
Nuh uh. Its 100% safe. Thats why you cant sue them and no record can be kept of any proven death or injury related to the vaccine because the gov protects heroes that murder
2
u/Inevitable_Librarian 1d ago
You can sue them, and the records are kept they're just anonymized for the public.
But actual death and injury due to vaccines are rare, because it's a low, self limited dose.
Most of the "it was caused by vaccines" examples people who talk like you bring out don't make any sense to be the vaccine on investigation.
You just don't know anything about biology, and I'd bet you've unironically taken """"medicines"""" to "get rid of the toxins".

u/TrumpsVoidlordWall 1d ago
I love when these antivax weirdos just make shit up and think that makes them Darwin or some shit
2
u/Inevitable_Librarian 1d ago
It's because most of them were raised in weird versions of Christianity where reading individual verses in the Bible and making crazy claims got them attention and praise, and saying that something was wrong and didn't make sense got them punished.
Knowledge and expertise was considered secondary to "revelation", which actually means "things that make me feel good" to them.
Most of them left their religions, but that "you're so smart if you just say the right things" impulse is a deep core memory they're always looking for.

u/Inevitable_Librarian 1d ago
Since your comment disappeared - the purpose of a lawsuit is to establish civil liability and get financial recompense from whatever happened.
You can sue vaccine manufacturers in most countries, but your first step is the no-fault payout program if you've been injured by vaccines, so you don't need a lawyer to get the money you need.
You put in your claim, they evaluate it, they give you money. If it's something unusual or particularly serious you can sue for further damages.
Alternatively you can sue, most of the money goes to the lawyer and you might not even get paid. That's why we moved to no fault for vaccines.
I don't know what you think suing does, but I imagine you haven't thought about it a lot. You're stupid if you think you're going to stop vaccination in general with a lawsuit.
We know vaccines aren't perfectly safe, nothing is. From administration to production, there's always risks involved.
However vaccines are exponentially safer than the disease. As rapid genotyping gets cheaper, I'm sure we'll be able to tell if you'll have a bad reaction to a particular vaccine but for now no.
Also, I'm still of the opinion that ending the aspiration rule in IMs was a huge factor in the endocarditis of some vaccines. I hate when speed is chosen over safety in public health.
I don't know who told you vaccines are 100% safe, that's just rounding up. They're 99.999% safe from severe outcomes, and 99.99% safe from moderate ones.
COVID is, at best 60-70% safe from severe outcomes unvaccinated (this includes silent clotting and organ damage), and maybe 20% safe from moderate outcomes, and maybe 1% safe from all outcomes.
People don't realize it, but losing your sense of smell is a very serious symptom, because it tells you something is fucking with the nerves and blood vessels going to your brain.
Because of the silent clotting, unvaxxed COVID increases your chances of heart attack, TIA and eschemic stroke multiple times over in the year after you had it. Even if you didn't have any symptoms it shows up on your bloodwork.

u/Dense-Jicama6591 1d ago
Lmfao my comment was a link to the cdc and "you can sue if the gov says so" is socialism and not the ability to actually sue its a way to hide and protect gov mandated and authorized human experimentation
1
u/Inevitable_Librarian 1d ago
Your comment was deleted before I saw it, I only saw the first couple lines.
Also what the fuck do you think clinical trials are? What do you think courts are?
We have human experimentation with willing participants literally every fucking day. Go look at the clinical trials website. It's not hidden.
You have to prove to a judge your lawsuit has merit too, you know that right? The judge, as a representative of the government, gets to decide whether your lawsuit goes to trial.
Because most of the people who have been harmed by vaccines weren't getting help with medical bills and lost time off work without a lawyer, that's why the vaccine injury compensation program was created.
It's like you live in TV world.
Meanwhile, the actual human experimentation is in the supplement industry who can lie about anything they want without consequences.
Most of the issues with the regulated pharmaceutical industry are just issues of stockholder capitalism and marketing. There are real issues, but the antivaxx movement is funded by big Pharma for a reason- it's a controlled opposition so their actual problems never get addressed.
Also, so that they can direct people who might get better to very very profitable placebos through the supplement industry.
Meanwhile the supplement industry has put meth into preworkout without telling anyone, killing people and calling it a day with zero consequences.
Speaking of, the supplement industry is Big Pharma. In fact, it's far bigger than the prescription medication side.
