| Alright. Let's break down the question of adequacy; as it's a vague word that we may be using differently. 1. Does it work? In the UK even people who have completed both rounds of vaccination are having restrictions imposed on them. Contact tracing has not been ended there and is now triggering a full blown "pingdemic" that is causing a generalized economic crisis in which supermarket shelves are emptying, port authorities are warning of further supply chain disruptions and TV shows have been knocked off the air. This is incompatible with the idea that vaccines work and very incompatible with the narrative that was previously being sold, that vaccines were a way out and would mark the end of the restrictions. Hence, governments are acting as if the vaccines are not adequate solutions to the crisis. 2. Are they dangerous? You raise good questions. Unfortunately the article you link to is paywalled. However, I've also read deeper analyses of VAERS data + similar databases from other countries that look at this and conclude: 2a. Background reporting rates for other vaccines are similar to what would be expected normally. There is no evidence that current events are inflating the reporting rate (or decreasing it). 2b. Studies of reporting rates in pre-COVID years have indicated a very high rate of under-reporting. https://www.openvaers.com/images/r18hs017045-lazarus-final-r... Fundamentally although the Y axis may not be accurate, the trend is hard to ignore. The data has gone vertical in 2021. Once massively increased awareness is excluded as a possibility, I don't see how other conclusions are possible. |
