Once again I awoke today to find that the predictions from anti-vaxxers have not come true.
After embarassing claims many made early on (magnetism, 5G, mutation, RFID) and all of them being disproven by time or common sense, we have seen a Q-like evolution of their tactics. Instead of providing concrete predictions that will be debunked with time (JRK Jr? Trump 'secret' POTUS?), they have taken to evasive and ellusive insinuations of danger.
The problem is that doomsayers have been around as long as the human race. And although they didn't have services like Substack or Adsense to profit from their misleading predictions and unsubstantiated claims, this sort of soothsaying is nothing new.
There will always been people who claim to know more than you do, they may even believe they are working from a knowledgebase the rest of us mere mortals don't have access to. But their claims are a fraud all the same. A fraud being perpetrated on the human mind.
Careful, don't you dare use a source other than Twitter/Facebook/Circular blogs lest YOU may be labeled as a "vaccine apologist" too. 🙄
The conspiracy is the anti-vax argument itself. Its a house of wet cards. No substance to it whatsoever. And as time marches on, their nebulous "FEAR your own shadow because something bad COULD happen sometime" will come caving in.
This is John Titor meets Qanon. This is what a global scale hoax looks like.
Feb. 17, 2023 -- The natural immunity provided by a COVID infection protects a person against severe illness on a par with two doses of mRNA vaccine, a new study says.
People who've been infected with COVID reduced their chances of hospitalization and death by 88% over 10 months compared to somebody who hasn't been infected, says the study, published in The Lancet.
The natural immunity provided by infection was “at least as high, if not higher” than the immunity provided by two doses of Moderna or Pfizer mRNA vaccines against the ancestral, Alpha, Delta, and Omicron BA.1 variants, the study says.
But protection against the BA.1 subvariant of Omicron was not as high – 36% at 10 months after infection, says the research team from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
The researchers examined 65 studies from 19 countries through Sept. 31, 2022. They did not study data about infection from Omicron XBB and its sub-lineages. People who had immunity from both infection and vaccination, known as hybrid immunity, were not studied.
The findings don't mean people should skip the vaccines and get COVID on purpose, one of the researchers told NBC News.
“The problem of saying 'I'm gonna get infected to get immunity' is you might be one of those people that end up in the hospital or die,” said Christopher Murray, MD, DPhil, director of the IHME. “Why would you take the risk when you can get immunity through vaccination quite safely?”

110 Billion humans have walked this earth and are now no more. Very soon you will add to those numbers. I wouldn't get too cocky about your immortality.

This is a lie:
"The danger of the virus vastly outweighs the danger of the vaccine."
