Unmasking the Truth

Sometimes I feel like I understand the pandemic better than most people, and other times it seems like I have missed the obvious.

Today I saw a report from England which suggests the vaccines have worked. Not “will work.” “Have worked.” What we’re seeing right now may be the best outcome possible until some new medicine comes along. If that’s true, the constant cries for more shots and fewer freedoms may be totally wrong, even according to THE SCIENCE.

A Youtuber from some foreign country or other has a channel called Merogenomics. He says he’s a scientist. For all I know, he could be posting from a trailer in Georgia. He may be a clever Trump-lover who makes up incredibly intricate, convincing data and speaks with a foreign accent in order to fool us. Maybe he spends the rest of his time sending love letters to Honey Boo-Boo.

Hey, it has happened before. Don’t forget FPSRussia.

The point is that I’m not vouching for this guy, but he posted shots of a government report from the UK, and that’s what impressed me.

The report says three things that catch my eye.

First, 98.1% of Britons or whatever they call themselves now have covid antibodies. About 20% have the kind that come from infection. Of course, vaccines provide antibodies, too.

Second, more vaccinated people than unvaccinated people are getting covid, and it’s not because this is inevitable when a huge percentage of the population is vaccinated. The vaccination rate is only around 70%. It appears that the vaccines aren’t doing much to prevent transmission. The Youtube guy says it’s conceivable that they actually make you more likely to get sick. Apparently, this is a known problem with vaccines.

Awesome. Yeah, I remember St. Anthony of Fauci warning me about that, over and over. Not.

Third, if you get the shot(s), you are substantially less likely to die, but not WAY less likely. It looks like you may be up to several times less likely, but that’s about it. That’s the best possible result, in the age groups the vaccine helps most. It’s not 1% versus 99%. They used to tell us it was impossible for a vaccinated person to get really sick or die.

You can probably draw some conclusions from all this.

One conclusion, from Mr. M., is that vaccine apartheid is pointless in high-vax countries covid has already hit hard, because they have reached antibody saturation. Everyone in the UK, apart from a few rare individuals, is about as well off as a vaccinated person when it comes to catching the disease. They can get sick, but they are less likely to die than zero-antibody people.

That conclusion seems a little weak. Apartheid doesn’t make much difference when it comes to transmission rates, but non-vaccinated people are considerably more likely to die if infected, even if they have natural immunity already. I think. Regardless of how it works, death numbers are very low. It sounds like typical vaccine apartheid is nearly useless for the masses, because transmission will still occur all the time, but hard core isolation measures would probably help high-risk people, and reinfected people who only have natural immunity are more likely to die than infected vaccinated people.

We can’t prevent the masses from getting sick, and getting sick is only a problem for certain people in easily identified groups. Seems like we should quit trying to keep the masses become covid-free, because it’s impossible and wouldn’t be very helpful even if it worked, because very few of them will get seriously ill. Like I said in early 2020, it looks like it makes more sense to isolate and work hard to vaccinate only those who are likely to die.

Here’s a conclusion from me: people have been stupid to talk as though the vaccines were going to get rid of the disease. That was never possible with these weak vaccines.

When you listen to politicians, journalists, and 85-IQ celebrities still wearing their disposable rehab bracelets, you hear a lot of strange things about the pandemic.

One is that draconian measures are only needed to “flatten the curve.” We can’t flatten the curve all that much, so people should quit saying that. It has been almost two years, and the evidence is clear. We get quiet periods and then huge peaks and then more quiet periods. We got bigger curves after the shots came out. We will never get a nice, smooth curve until we have real medicines. Can we please change the rhetoric now? Infection numbers in some high-vax countries are higher than ever, so the curve isn’t listening. Either flattening the curve is an unrealistic goal, or we would have had one hell of a curve without the shots.

Another is that the vaccines will turn covid into a relatively uncommon or eradicated illness. Forget that. No real scientist ever thought that would happen. Releasing the Kung Flu into the air was like blowing up a jar of talcum powder in a car with velour seats. You can never get rid of all of it.

The third dumb thing we hear is that we should be alarmed by high infection numbers. It makes it sound like the vaccines aren’t doing any good. What we should look at–I think–are hospitalization and death numbers. These are the only stats the shots had any hope of improving.

If you check these numbers, you will see that the enormous infection rates around the world aren’t always accompanied with skyrocketing hospitalizations and deaths. Not like they were in the past, anyway. Better treatments and the impact of vaccines appear to be reducing serious covid consequences considerably, at least in some countries. Unless the bug becomes more lethal, and barring supernatural intervention, we should expect this trend to continue as medicine catches up with it.

Some countries still have high death rates. Surely that must be due to bad treatment or higher concentrations of fat, sick, and/or old people.

If you’re fat, old, and/or sick, the good news isn’t as applicable to you, but it still matters to everyone else. Even if you die, it’s good that the vast majority of people are going to do well.

My wild guess, based on what I saw, is that we should start thinking of covid as something like athlete’s foot or the common cold. It’s unpleasant, but it’s not a serious threat to the vast majority of us, and it’s never going to go away completely, barring the invention of truly extraordinary new vaccines and treatments.

We should learn to live with it. We WILL learn to live with it, because it appears we have no choice. We should make the decision now instead of closing borders (between countries that are already heavily infected…genius) and, in the case of China, welding people’s front doors shut.

We can’t keep segregating and imprisoning people forever. I guess you could argue that we can do it until the new magical medicines come out. What if that’s 5 years away? Netflix and sweatpants won’t get you through. Deaths and serious consequences are dropping off to levels so low, it’s better to accept them than to continue abusing each other.

Probably. Maybe. The facts keep morphing.

If my understanding of the situation is right, the vaccines have already worked as well as possible. Whoopee. Mission accomplished. But many of us will still get sick. Booo. And some of us will die. Terrible, but unpreventable in free societies.

Perhaps we should declare the vaccines highly successful, after defining the mission correctly. If the mission is to turn a scary disease into a much less scary disease, they have probably done it.

I have never seen anyone define the objective clearly and correctly until today, on Youtube. How can that be? It’s not hard to figure out. Aren’t doctors supposed to be smart? I know politicians are often dumb, and they lie in order to increase their control over us, but they have doctors and pure scientists to tell them what to say, and even with the new efforts to destroy free speech, doctors and scientists can reach the public directly sometimes.

Let’s just admit the objective is to drastically reduce hospitalizations and deaths. If that’s the goal, it looks like we’re there. Let’s release the prisoners while we work on new shots and treatments.

I learned another interesting fact today. The Astrazeneca shots don’t use mRNA. They use viruses, like the Johnson & Johnson shot. I was glad to learn this, because the mRNA shots appear to be putting spike proteins inside people’s cell nuclei, which we were originally told was not possible.

Nobody touches my nuclei. That’s a rule I have.

I picked J&J because I was afraid the mRNA shots would end up messing with my exceptionally great DNA, and it now looks like I, in my ignorance, may have done the right thing. Scientists say the mRNA shots may interfere with DNA repair, and DNA repair prevents mutations, like the ones that cause cancer.

My wife and I had to get shots in order to get together. She got the Astrazeneca shot. We both prayed before getting injected, and neither of us felt that God objected. I thought she was getting mRNA shots, but I trusted her relationship with God, so I didn’t advise her to refuse them. Now I learn she got adenovirus shots, just like me. I’m glad to hear it.

I don’t capitalize the Z in Astrazeneca because I resent hipsters messing with the English language and ruining the rules of capitalization. I write things like Astrazeneca, Youtube, and Ipod. Deal with it, soy people.

Only DeSantis gets a pass. I love that guy.

Did God protect us from the evil DNA-destroying mRNA shots, did he decide to give us special protection regardless of which shots we got, because all the shots are bad, or are all the shots harmless, meaning he didn’t care which ones we got? I do not know. I know I’m not getting an mRNA shot unless an angel shows up with engraved orders delivered on a gold platter.

I have no way of knowing whether the adenovirus shots pose the same risks as the mRNA shots. Doesn’t sound like it, from what I’ve read.

Hope not.

On the whole, I would say vaccine apartheid is not justified in high-vax areas where infection numbers have already been high. Yes, a fair percentage of people will get infected, and some will die, but it appears the casualties will be low. A few deaths here and there, experienced by free adults who knew the risks, don’t justify treating us all like prison inmates.

My state lets people skydive, ride motorcycles without helmets, smoke cigarettes, and use scuba equipment. If we had mountains, it would probably allow the use of wingsuits. Traditionally, Americans have rejected the idea that we should protect everyone from dangerous activities simply because a few will get hurt, even if the public ends up paying the hospital bills.

If Uncle Sam will let me eat at Sonic while smoking unfiltered Pall Malls and drinking straight vodka from a tumbler, he should probably let me assume the very low risk of dying from covid, especially when he has pressured me into buying health insurance.

If this is true, then we should also knock off the mask nonsense. They have never worked well enough to matter, and they are unbelievably unpleasant to wear. If they’re not preventing severe cases in numbers that justify the imposition, then they should be scrapped.

I’m assuming the US has antibody numbers similar to the UK’s, of course. My state’s shot rate is about the same as England’s, so I don’t know why there would be a difference.

Mr. M. says we should have mass antibody screenings. The tests can tell whether your antibodies came from a shot or an infection. I think this is brilliant. Without screenings, how will we know whether we’re getting anywhere or what else we should do?

I am adjusting my thinking. I don’t care about infection numbers now, because infections aren’t going away, and by themselves, they are not a problem. I’ll just look at hospitalization and death numbers. They’re all that matter. To people who aren’t seriously ill, covid is like a cold or nothing. No one gets up and looks at common cold numbers every day. No one cares.

Austria, with a vax rate like Florida’s, is having a covid spike, and they just locked everyone down and issued a 100%-vaccination mandate. Nice. Germany has a similar vax rate and a similar policy. Are these actions justified?

Austria’s latest death number is 55 in one day. Their current hospitalization number is around 1800. Are these emergency numbers? Maybe they are. Austria’s population is 9 million, so it’s not that big, so numbers don’t have to be terribly high to be alarming. Germany, however, has about 8.5 times Austria’s population. The death rate is less than 4 time’s Austria’s, and they don’t appear to be publishing their hospitalization rate. Presumably, it would be in line with the death rate, making Germany’s problem much less severe.

Austria’s figures don’t look good, but if apartheid doesn’t help, as Mr. M. says, is it a good idea?

The kinds of lockdowns humane countries can impose don’t work. Combine that information with the likelihood that nearly all Austrians and Germans have antibodies and some protection, and it seems it may be pointless to keep pushing authoritarian measures. Maybe Austria will continue to have high numbers until covid runs its course again, and the only products of the measures will be to destroy morale and prosperity.

It’s impossible to measure prevented cases.

It’s too bad the African solution hasn’t been tried in advanced nations. As I have written before, it’s a combination of mass prayer, refusal to endorse sexual perversion, lax mask laws, extremely low vaccination rates, and heavy socialization without distancing. It has worked wonders in Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania, and other Christian countries where political leaders proclaimed national days of prayer. Covid barely exists in Christian Africa, which rejects America’s bigoted, God-provoking efforts to coerce acceptance of sinful sexual perversion by withholding aid.

Maybe the rainbow flag spreads coronavirus. Maybe that’s the problem. Are the flags made in China? Maybe they soak them in something.

I saw some leftist journalist trying to claim the reason Africa produces low infection numbers is that they don’t do much testing. Unfortunately, Africans themselves have Internet connections and phones, and they can tell you what’s really happening. My wife lives in a large African city, and she says coronavirus is not a factor in everyday life. If THE SCIENCE were right, Africa’s indifference toward covid measures should have resulted in a disastrous plague, but in Christian Africa, very few people are sick with covid.

It’s a shame how leftists make things up without hesitation.

If vaccines, lockdowns, distancing, and great treatment were the answers, Africa’s streets would be full of dead bodies. Instead, they have such low rates, they think of coronavirus as “the white disease.” If Africa had only done no better than the US, it would prove science-worshipers were totally wrong, because noncomplying countries are supposed to do much worse, but Africa has done way, way, WAY better, giving us more proof than anyone could ever want.

Also interesting: when Florida was experiencing a lot of infections and deaths, leftists never mentioned Florida’s old population. The average age here is 42, and we have the nation’s highest percentage of old people. The average age across the US is 38, and many states are a lot lower. The vaccines do not work well on older people, and really old people tend to live close together where they have to breathe the same air. Criminal defendant/former governor Cuomo could tell you how that works out.

Now blue states with no DeSantises are getting hammered, and suddenly, leftojournos have nothing to say about bad governors causing epidemics. What happened? It’s like Iraq. When Bush was in office, we had to put up with a daily counter, listing our military deaths as they occurred. Then Obama was elected, and suddenly, the counting stopped.

Repentance and prayer, on a global level, would get rid of coronavirus, but these things will never happen, because most human beings quietly believe God is like the pope or the queen of England: powerless yet hard to get rid of. Or nonexistent. Rejection of God, not masks and shots, is what will keep covid with us until the end of the tribulation.
