Fauci at Last Has to Answer About Vaccines & Double Talks
2021-03-14
[Filed under "Seedy Politicians" because Fauci is one]
Exactly where I would have filed it, for exactly that reason.
[ArmstrongEconomics] Eugenio Derbez interviews Fauci and actually asks questions about the vaccines you will NEVER hear any mainstream pretend-journalist ask because they are just part of the Fake News Network & Cancel Culture of today.

In Hawaii, at least three fully vaccinated against COVID-19 were later infected with the virus. The Department of Health said they’re not surprised and people should not be alarmed. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, current vaccines are between 66 and 95 percent effective. The vaccine does NOT prevent infection. It is said to only lower the risk of hospitalization and severe symptoms. The real question is — why does everyone need the vaccine? It appears only those at high risk should be subjected to it since Fauci states a grandmother who is vaccinated can still hug a daughter and granddaughter who are not vaccinated. It appears that the answer is simply because this has been made political rather than medical.

#4  Vaccines do not promise to prevent all infection, Clem. They promise to provide resistance that makes the illness less dangerous to the patient. Even childhood vaccinations have been discovered not to give lifelong immunity, and so boosters for a number of things are now recommended to be given to adults. Tetanus shots, for instance, have long been given every ten years during adulthood, even after the usual five doses in childhood and a sixth during adolescence.

The flu vaccine also does not completely prevent getting that years’ influenza, but increases the body’s resistance to the infection such that if it can’t fight it off, the disease that results is less severe, exactly as if the person had had the illness previously. We see the Covid-19 vaccine having a real life effect because hospitalizations and deaths among the first vaccinated have fallen significantly.

There was an article posted here last month that reported that among young Marines at boot camp, 6% of whom had had Covid previously, 10% or 0.6% of all the boot campers (or whatever the correct term is) got sick again. But those who tested as infected a second time had low or no symptoms, and turned out to have had a lower level of antibodies from the first infection than the 90% who’d successfully resisted reinfection.

This compares to those Marines who had not had Covid previously, 48% of whom fell ill.

Snowy Thing, the linked article is the one I was unable to find when we were talking about you being allowed to visit your mother in the hospital. Not that it would have changed any minds.

#2  The video was refreshing in terms of the questions posed and watching Fauxi lie and squirm.

I never heard of Sr. Derbez before. Actor or comedian or something? No matter. We'll see how long that video remains up on the Web.

#1  I have a neighbor who is utterly terrified of COVID but has now "resumed his normal life" after getting the vaccine. I wish him no ill, but I can just imagine his "voted for Biden" dudgeon if things don't go his way now.
