From the start, they lied about the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" In summer 2021, Democratic politicians and public health bureaucrats insisted only unvaccinated people were being hospitalized with or dying from Covid. “This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Centers for Disease Control director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said on July 16, 2021. “Unvaccinated Americans account for virtually all recent COVID-19 hospitalizations,” Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, told NPR the same day. “It’s really an outbreak among the unvaccinated,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci told CNN nine days later. No wonder that on Sept. 9, President Biden announced, “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated” as he promised “a new plan to require more Americans to be vaccinated.” Require? Yep, require. After all, it was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” — Only it wasn’t. Not even then. As early as June 2021 - less than six months after mRNA jabs began, less than five months after anyone could be considered fully vaccinated - a significant fraction of people hospitalized with Covid had been jabbed. These days, of course, almost everyone hospitalized for Covid has been jabbed, though the figures are tough to come by. They’re buried deep on state health department Websites or in Excel files that must be downloaded and examined. But they’re not impossible to find. The media simply refused to report them, because they would have raised questions about how well the shots worked. From time to time, though, they pop up. A reader directed me to the state of Maryland’s Website. Unusually, Maryland openly reveals the actual number of hospitalizations by vaccination status - rather than a “rate ratio” that depends on several dubious assumptions. The Maryland data could not be clearer. Nearly everyone who has been hospitalized for the last year has been vaccinated. The jabs have failed. (Yellow wins, vaccines lose) ![]() But that’s not the (most) interesting fact on this graph. Unless you’ve been asleep the last 18 months, you already knew the vaccines do not work about Omicron. The most interesting fact is when they started to fail: ![]() Yes, in July 2021, as the United States government told Americans that two mRNA shots provided near-total protection from Covid, more than one in five people hospitalized with Covid in Maryland was “fully vaccinated.” (In June the figure was 18 percent.) Did public health officials like Dr. Fauci know the real numbers? If not, they should have. After all, the National Institutes of Health - where Dr. Fauci worked for more than 40 years - is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland. — Worse, Maryland’s 20 percent “fully vaccinated” hospitalization figure for July 2021 is a significant underestimate, since Maryland systematically misclassified vaccinated people as unvaccinated. This is not a conspiracy theory. As Maryland itself explains: Identification of post-vaccination infections requires that vaccination data be reported to the state immunization registry and… be matched to the SARS-CoV-2 test result. Therefore, post-vaccination infections may be undercounted. This problem was not unique to Maryland, or 2021. Every state had and has a similar issue. As Massachusetts put it last year: The number of cases in vaccinated people may be undercounted due to.... an inability to match records across systems. Other countries were more careful, classifying people as unknown when their vaccination status was, well, unknown. — But then the United States has always reported Covid data in a way designed to make the mRNA shots look as good as possible. It only classifies people as “vaccinated” two weeks after their second mRNA shot. This artifice hides the fact that real-world data shows people are MORE likely to contract Covid for weeks after the first shot. No other drug has its effectiveness counted only during the period when it is most likely to work. Finally, states overestimated the total number of people who received vaccines and in some cases reported more than 100 percent vaccine coverage. This error might sound trivial. In fact, it is crucial, because many states hide the raw numbers for hospitalizations and deaths by vaccine status and instead provide “age-adjusted rate ratios.” But those ratios depend on accurate estimates of the number of unjabbed people. If 300 vaccinated die of Covid out of 1 million, compared to 50 out of 50,000 unvaccinated, the vaccines will seem quite effective (even though more vaccinated people have died). But if even 10 percent of the people reported as vaccinated actually are not, then real figures are 300 out of 900,000 vaccinated compared to 50 out of 150,000 unvaccinated. In that case, exactly the same proportion of vaccinated and unvaccinated people have died. The numbers I’ve used are fictional, but the problem is real. And vaccine advocates, at least the smarter ones, are well aware of all these issues. But they don’t care, because every one works the same way, to make the vaccines appear more effective. They just figure you won’t invest the time or energy to understand all the ways they’re lying. And that’s the most arrogant attitude of all. |

Everyone with an average IQ know this was a scam. Some will admit it others continue to deflect and deceive. My 2C, it was a test to see how far they could push the plebes, kill and control citizens and make a little money on the side. Look at fentanyl they don't care about it at all. More died last year than all of Vietnam. It's all 3rd world. We have become just that a crap country. Only thing saving us today is the dollar. The dollar is starting to erode when they accomplish that stick a fork in it, done. |

Pick a news release, question that was answered, statistic, or fact-check from October 2019 until the Present. Go. |

Knew it was a scam and the numbers were bullshit early on. Took a while to figure out how to fight back effectively but we did. Fuck the con artists in suits and lab coats. I feel bad for the good medical professionals left to pick up the pieces of a destroyed reputation. |

Of course it was a lie, anything it took to get the vax numbers up. The cat’s out of the bag and guess who’s not pushing it anymore? Who’s looking like the geniuses right about now? Really we were just following common sense and sound knowledge of health and nutrition. A damn apology would be nice, but that would never happen so I’ll settle for some Nuremberg 2 and public punishment. |

My view from the beginning was, I’m not getting an experimental, injection issued under an emergency order for a virus with a 99.7% survival rate. Also there was no long term study, I wanted to see the long term study not “be” the long term study, that is playing out in front of us right now. |

Yep, it took a bit to start collecting the evidence and putting the parts together but it was pretty obvious that something was amiss from the very start. Sadly I think you are wrong about the second part of your statement- we are more divided than ever and it's only getting worse, not better. I would bet money that the majority of people, despite what they may be saying, would react in almost exactly the same way if you dropped the same scenario again.

And further they never gave advice or education to the public on things they could do to improve immune function and prepare yourself. It was as if the virus was immune to your immune system. An example, I remember Jennifer Garner did a zoom interview with Fauci where he admitted taking vitamin D supplements himself, and as far as I know it was the only time he mentioned it. |

She became very concerned in spring 2020 when there were a huge number of scripts for hydroxychloroquine being filled for doctors and their families ‘before’ it was publicly mentioned as a possible treatment for Covid. She said stocks of the medication were getting low and she was afraid it was going to become difficult to get it for her lupus and was relieved when the govt discredited it as a Covid therapy. She then went full vax tard and pressured my buddy into getting it also so they could still go on cruises |

Very early on, when they were saying 'don't use masks', is when I wore one to the grocery store like 3 times. I felt like an idiot (no one else was yet wearing masks), and then it was around that moment that they switched and started pushing masks hard, but I already decided that was enough for me.

| People have gotten emails from King County Health and the WA State Dept of Health. Early Summer of 2021 they were emailing back and forth talking about the shots not working. These emails have been obtained through FOIA requests. Governor Inslee still went ahead with his vaccine mandate which is still in place today. |

I did not want to get it and be in the hospital in the early days of them knowing fuck-all about it either so I took precautions. I got nailed on the second hump going to an auto parts store. For certain the OG strain did have a pretty stout hospitalization rate for 50's and older. For me the illness was VERY mild. Not even close to my worst flu. Just loss of all smell and taste but the fatigue lasted a long time. Weeks went by and the cut to my respiratory capacity was noticed after I got my energy back so the illness symptoms don't tell the whole tale. It's not (or was not) "just a flu". This has impacted my life and I would rather have not gotten the original if I had my druthers but... I was not going to spend my life in hiding for years either. |
