I would recommend the books Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries as well as Turtles All the Way Down (authors are anonymous) to get a broader view of the historical statistics regarding vaccination.
As an RN of 23 years, both books were revelatory to say the least.
Thank you for the recommendations! I just finished turtles a month ago or so. Quite enlightening to say the least. Almost comforting to know that the vaccine playbook has been the same for a while now: overplay the risks of the disease, attribute all improvements in morbidity/mortality to the vaccine, and compare prevax and post vax without considering trends. The difference with the COVID vax that I was trying to point to, is the usual playbook’s before/after correlation can’t even be attempted. Also very worrying that the studies used for routine vaccines are so weak (small, no placebo, etc). I will check out your other recommendation!
Very well put, by coincidence I was looking at “before and after” for a number of successful vaccines this week. The difference is very stark.
You summed it up perfectly:
“Best case scenario billions of people were given a treatment that did almost nothing for long term survivability from COVID, but hopefully didn’t kill too many people along the way….”
I began to suspect this to be the case about August 2021 here in Australia and was pretty sure in about September 2021. I actually predicted the “game changer” Omicron at about the same time. I didn’t know it would be a new variant, I just knew they needed some excuse. It certainly wasn’t working “as advertised.”
I wrote this in February 2022 to explain to my friends what I was talking about for the last 6 months. Figure 1 is real data from surveillance reports. Figure 2 is modeling a placebo with the same vaccination rate as the Australian roll-out.
Took me a while to accept there could actually be a quantifiable risk. I’d just put it down to “Dolts botching shit” and didn’t ascribe any malice to it.
