You want me to to choose a better source of scientific information and the options are scientists or random people on Facebook?
That's so dumb I'm not even going to play your little game.

Do they really think people won't put 2 and 2 together. Vaccination rate goes up so does the variant in every single country. Snap out of your slumber people. Just because no one is pointing guns doesn't mean this isn't genocide.
This is quite an interesting video with regards to that data.
I have my criticisms of it, namely the overly dramatic music and the fact that like most things nowadays.. it operates entirely in the Critical Covid Praxis. But, the data is interesting at the very least.
To get a better read on things, we need to rely on data gathering that has the least amount of unreliability and the most consistency over time. I do not believe this exists for SARS-CoV-2 or covid. The former is identified through unreliable tests and the latter has broad enough symptoms that its difficult to parse with anything resembling meaning.
So, we should be looking at overall deaths and the like. Then, when we do, we want to examine the delta per region over the past couple decades before we begin to compare it region to region. Currently, this doesnt happen much (if at all), and when it does.. it is solely in the context of covid. Thats a problem.
What we could be seeing is the result of a near instantaneous shift in human behavior (Im vaxxed and gonna make up for lost time!) preceded by a year and a half of decisions that heavily compromise immune systems (relentless stress, diet, remaining indoors, reduced biological interactions, etc). Meaning, even if SARS-CoV-2 and covid dont exist at all, and the vaccines are literally saline across the board, I would expect to see a spike in health issues across the board along with an acompanying increase in death rates.
How much a virus, a disease, and vaccines impact this delta would require not only further examination, but proper data collection as a foundation.
I still maintain that the most critical approach we can currently take is decentralization. The world has been going in this current direction for many, many years with, in my opinion, significant planning and intent.
Just like all throughout history, the success of this massive centralization of power is predicated on the dependency of the general public on controlled systems for things like food, manufacturing, information, and energy. Attempting to "fight back" through online commentary, politics, protests, or even violent action are all doomed to fail with near certainty.
Luckily, we live in a time where that granular decentralization is not only possible.. but would be a superior option even without all the rest of this virus/disease mess. It not only removes all the points of leverage and coercion, but builds a system that is significantly more stable without massive destabilization.
...And, it can even be done through staggeringly benign and easy means like online shopping and simply building parallel systems within the ones that currently exist.

I think we all need to take a step back on this of there's any truth to be found.
I am constantly accused of "following the MSM" like I'm some kind of brainwashed moron and it's a bit of a weak argument really.
Some of the msm reporting is true some is not in just the same way some of the alternative reporting is true and some is not.
If my opinion goes with the mainstream or government stance that does not make me a moron or the enemy of freedom by default.
I'll question anything that does not add up, I'll call out anyone who I feel is spreading misinformation.
The truth is the truth regardless of where it comes from.

Indeed, let's look at Singapore ....
The average number of daily cases has increased from 146 a fortnight ago, to 682 cases in the past week. But the large majority - over 98 per cent - have no symptoms or mild symptoms.
The number of serious cases also remains low, with 77 requiring oxygen support and 12 in critical condition as at Thursday. They represent 1.6 per cent and 0.1 per cent of total infections over the last 28 days.

.... that's what vaccination does. Turns Covid into a mild cold.
Covid was already a mild cold for 99+% of the population, but thanks. It also seems to be useless in stopping the spread and may actually encourage the spread.

Regardless of if it's truth, lies or exaggeration it's still just Facebook posts and not going to hold up to any kind of critical thinking is it.

Then what we are left with is to believe sources that you apparently trust... the MSM.
I know myself that the MSM is lying. I got the inside information on the local hospital group here all through the pandemic. The MSM has been lying.
While the MSM has been telling us that pediatric cases of covid are jumping alarmingly and children are dying, how many children are currently hospitalized with covid in the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia?
ZERO.
You now want me to talk about industrial scientists so you can talk about the bad things that have happened in the past.

People keep saying it's killed tens of thousands, but the yearly average death rate has hardly changed, in some places it's gone down.

Well something happened in 2020. In the US.
Well would you trust the scientists that have worked for Pzifer and are now whistle blowing on the dangers of the vaccine? Or do you only want to take evidence for those scientists that are still being payed by the industry?
