Vaccines and the Pandemic of the Media

The Covid-19 vaccines are not going to end the pandemic.

Am I allowed to say that? Is anyone allowed to say that?

Let me try again.

The Covid-19 vaccines are not going to end the pandemic.

Vaccination is way up. Cases are way up. See the problem?

Covid cases in multiple highly vaccinated states are surging, and many of those states are testing LESS than they were prior to vaccine availability.

Can I say it one more time?

The Covid-19 vaccines are not going to end the pandemic.

Bill Gates finally said it. I was shocked that he did because no one seems to be willing to, but he admitted that by ANY definition we’ve ever used about what the word WORKING means, these new Covid vaccines just aren’t up to snuff.

“We didn’t have vaccines that block transmission,” Gates said while speaking to British politician Jeremy Hunt. “We got vaccines that help with your health, but they only slightly reduce the transmission. We need a new way of doing the vaccines.”

It blows my mind that Gates coming out and saying this was newsworthy. Any seven year old who: A.) knows what the word WORK means, B.) knows what has been happening lately with Covid spikes around the country, and C.) knows the basic metrics we have gone by in the past to determine the “effectiveness” of vaccines, could tell you that the Covid-19 vaccines are not working in terms of “ending the pandemic.”

Thanks Bill. I didn't have to be a billionaire to figure that one out.

Yet Joe Biden keeps insisting he’s going to force vaccinate us out of the “pandemic.”

The current batch of Covid-19 vaccines, at absolute best, can potentially limit the symptoms of Covid-19 in certain people and cases. There are many people who are vaccinated who still get Covid. There are many people who are vaccinated who still get symptoms from Covid. But yes, in some people, the vaccine can limit symptoms.

But here’s the issue.

Limiting symptoms does nothing to end the “pandemic.”

Do you know why?

Because the media -- the entity which has always and is currently defining whether or not we are in a pandemic -- isn't using symptoms as the metric by which they make their declaration.

They’re using cases. The very thing we’ve already established the vaccine cannot prevent.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 era, any time the media wants to get the fear train rolling, they don’t do it by talking about the one thing these vaccines actually help with, which is life or death symptoms.

Why?

Because hardly anyone in the world has life or death symptoms due to Covid-19. We’re not in a pandemic if you go by the amount of people who have life or death symptoms. That number is a blip on the radar. People aren't afraid of that.

What about hospitalizations, you say? Isn't the media using that metric to invoke fear and justify vaccine mandates? After all, the vaccine can prevent hospitalizations, and many hospitals are legitimately reaching their capacities due to Covid-19 patients.

True. But guess what? There have been multiple times over the past two years where hospitals weren’t overrun with Covid patients. In fact, more times than not since the “pandemic” started, hospitals weren’t overrun.

So during all those times, did the media come out and declare that the pandemic was over?

Of course not.

Because just like with symptoms, if the media were going by hospitalizations, we’re not in a pandemic and we never were. Hardly anyone gets hospitalized with Covid-19, regardless of vaccination status, and the media knows that.

So why do so many people still say we're in a pandemic?

Again, because the media always has and continues to define the pandemic by cases.

And that’s the double standard relating to the term “pandemic” that makes vaccine mandates totally and completely ridiculous.

Only by focusing on cases can the media define Covid-19 as a pandemic

The only way you could ever even attempt to justify a government forced, bodily autonomy invading overreach like a vaccine mandate is if we truly are in the midst of a historically unprecedented, raging pandemic. But the only metric by which you can realistically justify the usage of the word “pandemic” in regards to Covid-19 and its consequences, is cases. And as we’ve already stated, these vaccines don't stop the contraction and transmission of Covid-19.

So tell me again, how will the Biden mandate end the “pandemic?”

Will it stop transmission of the illness, a.k.a. cases? We’ve already established – and even the most radical vaccine mandate supporter agrees – vaccination doesn't do that.

Will it limit symptoms? Possibly. But symptoms aren’t the issue of the pandemic and never have been. Studies completed prior to Covid vaccines even existing found that 86% of people who catch Covid-19 were completely asymptomatic. This means if 10,000 are Covid positive, up to 8,600 of them might not even know it without a test. That definitely isn’t a pandemic.

Will it limit hospitalizations? Maybe. But hospitalizations are an incredibly rare thing when it comes to Covid-19, regardless of vaccination status. They certainly aren’t a common enough occurrence to warrant the throwing around of a term like pandemic.

So let's call a spade a spade.

If you want to insist the ~1% of people who are susceptible to hospitalization from Covid-19 due to obesity and/or other underlying health issues to get vaccinated, I can at least understand that logic. But you don't get to consistently declare something a pandemic based solely on the metric of "cases" and then say you’re going to force the end of said pandemic by mandating a vaccine that has no effect on that metric.
