The COVID vaccines went through the same testing as normal. The difference is that it made sense to do things that companies wouldn't normally, they pulled everyone doing anything else to focus on the COVID vaccines, and they also parallelised tasks they'd wait to do. i.e. normally pharma wouldn't work on manufacturing until after approval but there was both a financial and life saving reason to do so.
At dinner last night my parents told me they read on Fox news that more vaccinated people died from covid than unvaccinated.
That may have even been true at one point, but not a per capita measurement. If you take 100 people, 85 vaccinated at 15 not, and 1 unvaxxed person dies and 2 vaxxed people die, that is twice as many deaths in the vaccinated! OMG!
Of course 2/85 is close to one third the risk of 1/15, but these are mostly mathematically illiterate people watching Fox news, so yeah.
58% of the vaccinated have died FALSE. That IS NOT what the Washington Post reported.
The report was "Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted,"
NOT "Fifty-eight percent of people vaccinated, died"
Do you see the difference? The number of people who were vaccinated, and lived, was not included in this 58% statistic. They are ONLY counting the people who died, NOT the people who got vaccinated overall. The actual numbers tell a very different story, on
We will see how it goes. For one thing, to eradicate the flu, we would probably have to forcedly quarantine all the anti-vaxx germ-spreader anyways and contrary to what these morons claim, that is not on the agenda. However with the flu, gaining time is everything. I will gladly do without the strain-roulette one is currently forced to play every year and I do not mind getting vaccinated every year or every two years again.
Ordinarily, I would use restraint. But after their constant screaming of the most demented lies during COVID _and_ all the damage they did, I have had enough. I will cheer for any case where their stupidity harms them now. My compassion only goes so far. People have the right to harm themselves by stupidity. They just do not have any reasonable expectation of compassion from me when they do.
