25-Mar-2021 – Bottom line at the top
We need to stop fixating on the distractions and look at the REAL problems and figure out what we need to do to get things right.
Not that I trust these numbers (or any of the products purported to be immunizations…. ) and that includes the memes from both sides of the conversation – out of context annoys me quite frankly
Keeping in mind the folks making millions if not billions of US$ and other Currency are warning that getting the shot(s) does not mean you are now free to go about your life, stop wearing a mask or any other restriction already imposed… so anything they have to say does not really impress me.
“Reportedly” more than 450 million doses of the three products have been administered worldwide. For the sake of argument, let’s divide that number by 2 – given most have probably gotten the 2 shot products and I doubt the number of J&J one shots is even in the millions yet.
Again “reportedly” round up 4,000 have died and about 165,000 become ill after injections with these products. Let’s call it 170 Thousand to follow the example of the CDC etal and make it scarier than it needs to be.
Doing simple math, divide 170,000 by 225,000,000 and you get point 0007556 have had a recorded reaction or 7 out of every 1000 victims
Let’s compare that to the numbers for the US for Seasonal Flu Vaccine of around 45-60 million getting the shot. An average reaction of 8% means 8 of every 100
Feel free to check and correct my math – never my best subject. But it would seem you are 10 times more likely to have a problem with a seasonal flu shot than a covid-19 injection.
In my opinion, the difference is the seasonal injection seems to have somewhat of a success rate, and the other is a placebo.
As I said when I started, we need to stop wasting time on masks and vaccines and start working on (a) keeping a close eye on the reason for this distraction and (b) what in the name of all that is holy we can do about it.
