Gov't is in full damage control with the vax here. Currently they are shifting blame to Pharma and getting you to think past the sale on vaccine mandates. The policies were terrible. But you have to blame the government for that. They're trying to play off mandates with 'misled on transmission data', which implies the mandates would be good if it had helped reduce transmission. Don't let the policy makers off the hook or fall for the 'outraged vs Pharma' bait, especially if you already have good reason to hate Pharma.
To illustrate how this latest bit is a psyop aimed at deflecting people rightfully mad at mandates from the gov't, note how the following timeline gets confused.
1) initial trial measures severity of disease. No data on transmission, warnings at the time were to not assume transmission was blocked. This is what Pfizer stated, and is correct.
2) Transmission was measured *after* the vaccine was deployed, but not by Pfizer. Everyone monitoring cases saw the drop. There was no 'misleading' here.
3) The virus changes over time. Vax efficacy for delta was ~60-80% IIRC. Omicron is a full escape mutant. Until the most recent booster released in August, all boosters aimed at the original Wuhan strain.
4) Policy lags with time. Gov't used the transmission data from Wuhan strain to justify mandates, which came after that strain was no longer dominant. Problem is omicron and/or delta were dominant strains then, and both had already escaped to varying degrees. Nevermind natural immunity. All that anger you feel over this should be focused on one target: the policy makers. Hold them accountable via your legal options (ie get candidates on record for their position, vote in Nov and then hold the elected officials accountable). Do not let them wiggle out of this by blaming another entity you dislike.
5) Boosters address issue of lagging titers, not escape mutants. To keep up with escape mutants, I estimate we would need 2x boosters per year to keep up.
6) Without transmission data on the *current strain*, no evidence having your child vaxxed will protect other kids. Also needs to be compared vs natural immunity. CDC decision is terrible, but also not Pharma. Laser eye focus on the policy makers.
Definitely up for a vaccine deep-dive!
could be too spicy.....
YES!

Can't wait for the Ox post!
And always good to see Marissa Miller....
Love the thirst trap at the end, lol
