We might as well accept it: They will NEVER give up!

It’s from the CDC...it’s a lie and the study is fake.

[metmom]

After lying to us for the last almost three years on any and every thing Covid related, we’re now supposed to believe that they are telling us the truth and giving us accurate information?

--- "Coronavirus boosters cut hospitalization risk by at least 50%, CDC data shows"

An interesting headline. Here's a question -- how would one know from data that "risk" was reduced? Incidences, sure. Number of deaths, yeah, and as we see, the number of deaths is waning massively now. But risk? This is an actuarial assessment.

One notes the journalism lingo. Americans are "vaccine-wary." So tell them risk is lessened? How about no risk. Covid over three full years has a death rate of only 0.085 percent. Only 99.915 percent survived with and without the "vaccine." Weary yet? CDC will; set you straight and the Washington Post will publicize / market the product for you.

I can accept that.

As long as they are all fired.

BS. It sent me to the hospital the next day.

[sit-rep]

lol... Ditto!!

[falcon99]

Anything out of the CDC is untrustworthy.

[PubliusMM]

Unless and until FedGov opens up the market to efficacious therapeutics, there should be no other requirement os ANYONE.

[maddog55]

Never had the jab either nor has the wife, our kids and grandkids. Never took a test either and may or may or have had the covid cold.

It’s all BS except to the covidians, they’re stocking up on mask already.

[CapnJack]

That’s what I thought.

[Da Coyote]

Uh, no. Come on, does anyone believe the CDC any more? Hey, want a share in the Brooklyn Bridge?

[BlackbirdSST]

32 post and not one word from mojo. Unless I missed it, not one positive response to your CDC nonsense. What are your thoughts?

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[nicollo]

Even if true — which is doubtful, it in no way justifies the deaths that resulted from the vax.

[week 71]

Is there a punchline to the title of this article???

[butlerweave]

CDC , ROFL

[Persevero]

Correlation, causation.

I am not sure whether this is a factor, or not. Do people who get boosters tend to use drugs less? Be younger? Not have underlying conditions? Have better health insurance? Are they more risk averse in general? Etc. Got to weigh all the factors.

[JimRed]

And we should believe their “data” because…?
