Only a generation as effete and pusillanimous as this would make catching cold part of the news cycle.

The dinner did require that all attendees test negative the day of attendance and that they be vaccinated. But those measures were not always in place at the surrounding parties that weekend.

So, they're saying the vaccine doesn't stop prevention... But in the US, the basis of approval EUA and the only "approved" Vaccine, was for PREVENTION...NOT for decreased severity. Indeed, look at the actual FDA and Pfizer-BioNTech info.

Per the FDA's website,

On August 23, 2021, the FDA approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older.(emphasis added)

Per the Comernity Insert,

--------------------------- INDICATIONS AND USAGE----------------------------
COMIRNATY is a vaccine indicated for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. (1)(emphasis added)

Per the Summary Basis for Regulatory Action, under "Indication"

Active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. (Emphasis added)

Clearly, the vaccine is for PREVENTION. Nothing else. All of the clinical trials (limited as they were) and statistical confidence intervals were focused on VE with regard to PREVENTION...not hospitalization, not ER visits, not fatalies, and not symptoms.

These jackwagons are a living failed clinical trial, and the EUAs should be pulled.

As always with this nonsense, are they just positive tests, or are they symptomatic, and what is the severity of the symptoms.

A bunch of people testing positive in a mandatory testing regime who are asymptomatic just doesn't concern me. Neither does a bunch of people getting sniffles.

Now if it's something more serious...

One more dose of vax will stop it.

I’ve seen a couple of studies that suggest that the transmission route of Covid is fecal-oral, in other words, the same thing that brings us some food-related bacterial infections, such as e. coli.

Bat viruses are transmitted through feces and in fact spread to other susceptible species this way, which then spread them among themselves through fecal oral contact.

So in other words, the only sensible thing they told us to do was to wash our hands regularly and not touch our faces. Oh...and employees must wash hands before leaving the bathroom!

I think it’s no coincidence that there are “outbreaks” after dinners or other food and drink events. Probably somebody in the kitchen didn’t wash his hands, somebody else at the food or simply picked it up from a contaminated food serving surface, touched his mouth or eyes, and there we have it.

That said, it doesn’t appear to have very serious health consequences in most cases.

Excellent observation and excellent use of "official" sources.

This "event" has been an enormous fraud, conducted worldwide. And yet also from "official" sources, the "event" has a proven survivability of 99.9 percent.

Now the "official" WHO is trying to say the "official" number is more than twice as low as it should be "officially." This comes just before their worldwide push to create a single global authority for themselves. Convenient and a total con. Officially.

Where do the unvaccinated go to get their jobs back? Such a terrible injustice was done to them because of disinformation.

It’s just a total lie or else the PCR test is showing a head cold as covid. The people that think they’re getting covid are likely the head case variety.

It’s the wrath of Fauxi, backed up by the tyranny of Joek’s puppet masters.
