Vaccine Shaming Is Not a Cure
Townhall.com ^ | December 26, 2021 | Debra J. Saunders

Blaming the unvaccinated is the sharpest tool in resident Joe Biden's shed, and that is not healthy for America.

Consider Biden's address to the nation on COVID-19 from the White House State Dining Room Tuesday. Biden started off well enough as he offered that he shared the public's frustration and loss and commended Americans who have been vaccinated.

Then he turned to vaccination shaming.

"You have an obligation to yourselves, to your family and, quite frankly -- I know I'll get criticized for this -- to your country" to get vaccinated, Biden declared.

He added, "I honest to God believe it's your patriotic duty."

Calling the unvaccinated unpatriotic -- that'll win them over. Too bad Biden didn't call them stupid, too.

Biden's remarks were not completely tone-deaf. Aware that red states like Alabama have a much lower rate of vaccination than blue states like California, Biden credited former President Donald Trump for getting vaccinated and a booster shot. "It may be one of the few things he and I agree on," the Democrat quipped.

Biden even credited "the prior administration and our scientific community" for making America one of the earliest countries to develop vaccines.

He could have done more. There are pockets of the vaccine-resistant who don't trust the scientific establishment because they've seen a tendency to shut down unorthodox opinions.

Stanford Medical School epidemiologist Jay Bhattacharya tweeted that the Biden address had positives but took issue with Biden "blaming 'misinformation' for vaccine hesitancy without an acknowledgment that the government & some media have caused great harm to trust in science & the vaccines by their propaganda and silencing of scientific dissidents."

Bhattacharya has a history there.

The American Institute for Economic Research reported that retiring Director of National Institutes of Health Francis Collins asked colleagues to publish "a quick and devastating" takedown of the October 2020 Great Barrington Declaration, which warned of the devastating public-health effects of blanket COVID-19 lockdowns and called for a return to normal.

Collins dismissed the three authors, Bhattacharya, Oxford University epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta and Harvard epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff as "fringe epidemiologists."

But they were right, and the numbers suggest that's exactly what happened. According to The New York Times, 95% of Americans aged 65 and older have had at least one vaccine dose, and 88% are fully vaccinated. So, yaaay.

(Dr. Anthony Fauci, a recipient of the email, was all for marginalizing the three doctors who were right. It really is time for him to go.)

And this Biden statement is just wrong: "Almost everyone who has died from COVID-19 in the past many months has been unvaccinated."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 16,700 COVID-19 deaths of vaccinated individuals from April through November. The CDC now estimates that unvaccinated individuals are 20 times more likely to die than vaccinated people.

Amid mushrooming breakthrough cases, Americans are looking for tests and not finding them on pharmacy shelves. Here, the Biden administration has come up short. The administration promised half a billion tests next month -- too little, too late.

During the 2020 campaign, Biden and other Democrats were merciless in their bashing of Trump for being unprepared and not sufficiently forceful in taking on the virus.

Tell me how Biden's better, because I don't see it. The last year has been a year of drift.

Like Trump, Biden is not responsible for COVID-19, but he is responsible for his response to it.

"Blaming people for getting sick is wrong & bad for public health. It will make many vaccine-hesitant individuals distrust the message & further social division," Bhattacharya warned.

Finger-pointing is not a cure.

Never before has the failure of a treatment been blamed on those who didn’t take it.

When givernment involvement in health care was being pushed into Americans’ lives decades ago, it was sold on being very beneficial, good social policy, cost effective and never going to be expensive.

Talk about evolution theory, ... reality ... trillions in entitlements, loss of individual freedom including privacy, pitting Americans against Americans, and now just a couple steps away from being forced to make a health care decision in order to keep a job ... sliding towards being strapped to a gurney in order to get an a givernment-mandated injection. Who knew the “benevolent hand” of the givernment would be so transformed? Harry S Truman? Hubert H Humphrey? Dunce Xiden? Who?

CDC now estimates

And that’s the biggest problem: no facts, no actual numbers. Just maybes and wishes.

Government “science” has destroyed itself in the eyes of so many. And the more obvious it becomes the louder they tell you to shut up.

If the vaccine you took isn’t protecting you,

why would a vaccine I take protect you?

SCANDAL in Germany Over Scapegoating of Unjabbed

[Another one of those “noble lies” by the elites to convince the stupid peasants to do what the elites demand.]

The left-wing Mayor of Hamburg was caught lying to justify discrimination against the unjabbed.

He claimed the unvaccinated represented 95% of COVID cases.

After a Senate investigation, the actual figure was revealed to be 14.3%.

"Pockets?" "Pockets of vaccine-resistant who don't trust the scientific establishment??" It's more than "pockets," I can assure you and as more people realize they've been snookered. . the "pockets" are growing.

No, we don't trust the so called "scientific establishment" because such a description is, in of itself, unscientific and is a mere euphemism for those feeding at the teet of Big Pharma, Big Government, Big Media. No, we don't trust the "scientific establishment" because THEY LIE incessantly! No, we don't trust the "scientific establishment" because they engage in censorship and attempt to destroy reputations in their self-serving myopic attempts to promote forced vaccinations. No, we don't trust the "scientific establishment" because this cabal has yet to explain the benefit for society of "gain of function" research nor have they given an adequate justification for mass vaccination when other, more effective early treatment protocols exist.

The Germans perfected the art of blood libel long, long ago.

Funny, every other country's CDCs say the opposite. Weird.

Well, if you are stupid enough to believe that you were actually elected, you can believe that a fake vax with no immunity is a service to others.
