By Samuel Strait, Reporter at Large – August 21, 2021 While putting together the next installment of Newsom's Follies, soon to appear in these pages, and in conjunction with a look at Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE), another story to soon follow, several numbers began to jump off the pages of the research. If anyone is paying attention, the Covid narrative has shifted over the past several months from testing, to "the vaccines". No one seems unduly concerned over number of infections being reported via mass testing. The concern has shifted to the impossible, "100% vaccination. In case anyone is interested, California has over 4 million "confirmed cases by testing" of SARS-CoV-2 and likely at least an additional 4 million cases due to the fact that nearly 80% of all Covid cases are asymptomatic or very mild and have gone unreported. Recently, the California Department of Public Health reported nearly 72% of all Californians having received at least one dose of one of the vaccines, and somewhat over 60% have been fully vaccinated. This represents just short of 28 million Californians. In piecing information about ADE together, many reports from people in the medical community are saying the vaccine is both safe and effective. They further state that depending on the County in California, infection rates among the vaccinated range from 0.5% to 5%. The unvaccinated are portrayed as "The Problem". If the 27 million plus vaccinated have some immunity from the worse effects of the virus, and a further 6 to 8 million have recovered from being infected by the virus and have natural immunity, said to be a more robust protection than vaccination, California is in the enviable position of having only about 10 to 12% of its entire population that doesn't have some form of protection. 27 plus 8 million equals 35 of 39 million in the total population, which leaves less than 4 million citizens that are neither vaccinated or have had Covid. This brings to this inquiry a point that if infection rates for vaccinated individuals are as low as is being reported, how is it possible for there to be the recent surge in cases we have seen in the past three weeks? And, if there is a significant number of individuals who have experienced Covid and then got the jab, why are there reports of low numbers in this group where Covid has revisited these individuals? The CDC suspended counts of revisited individuals in May. Why is that? Further questions come to mind are, that it has been reported that infection after receiving the vaccine is any where from 50 to 75% of all new cases. Why the vast differences and which are to be believed? Portions of the Medical Community have scoffed at those reports then gone to repeat the mantra "the vaccines are both safe and effective" like robots. Why is it necessary to get the Pfizer booster, a third jab if the vaccines are that effective? California is suffering among the highest rate of new Covid cases, 80% of those being the Delta Variant. Reports nation wide that do not dwell on hospitalizations are reporting a very low death rate. Some people are reported to have died inspite of being fully vaccinated. Whether you believe the reported numbers or not, the hysteria over "THE DELTA VARIANT" APPEARS TO BE MISPLACED! It does appear to have spread rapidly, but its danger to human life seems to be much diminished over the original viruses' affect on the population when it first appeared in January of 2020. It has long been refuted by a number of studies that masks, distancing, and hand washing are political theater and have no useful purpose in the safety of any one against a virus. Lock downs in an otherwise healthy population are more damaging than normal activities of that population. Vaccines thus far may be considered "safe", but they do not appear to be effective over much more than six months. While many medical professionals are trumpeting the "safe" portion of the mantra, other than mass injection of over one third of the world's population, none of the vaccines were subject to more than cursory testing prior to the manufacturing of the vaccines. The citizens of the world are the trials being conducted without any of the controls normally found in the testing of a vaccine by the FDA. Medical practitioners claim that if the vaccines were some how dangerous the indicator would have shown up in the first two months. Those with previous and long term experience studying vaccines claim that longer testing is both unnecessary and would be unproductive. Glad they all have crystal balls and can "see into the future". Others that weigh in extolling the virtues of vaccines claim that work on similar or even Corona virus vaccines began in the 70's but were suspended due to lack of money. A historical review of issues with previous vaccines has revealed at least ten instances where vaccine issues occurred. This probably has something to do with the fact that most vaccines require on average a minimum of 12 years of study and clinical trials. Understanding that the media, the medical community and government have driven a campaign of fear, hysteria and terror for one's health over this virus. The numbers beg to differ.
