Are You An Irresponsible Anti-Vaxxers Potentially Killing Millions of People By Spewing Scary Covid Variants?

The mainstream media exists, chiefly it would seem, to pollute our immortal souls with piffle, drivel and what the great Russian novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn referred to as, "celebrity gossip and vain talk."

It is also does a reliable job of spewing lying propaganda, a good deal of which is currently focused on a seemingly irrational campaign to get untested genomic pseudovaccines injected into every human on the face of the planet. 

I say pseudovaccines, since the mRNA Covid "vaccines" do not induce full-spectrum disease immunity, but induce only the production of antibodies to the Wuhan strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As a consequence, the "vaccinated" are not resistant to infection by Covid, but merely protected from developing symptoms of disease when infected. As a result, "vaccinated" people can be infectious to others, or so the medical authorities has warned: hence the need for the "vaccinated" to wear face masks, essentially for ever under all circumstances.

Now, in the face of "vaccine hesitancy" (or, in the case of apparently better informed individuals, outright "vaccine refusal"), the media vax pushers warn that the anti-vaxxers are gonna kill us all by becoming breeding grounds for super scariant variants. 

As a non-immunologist, I refrain from dogmatic comment on whether covid vaccine refusniks constitute a credible threat to continued human existence. However, I note that immunologists of large experience say otherwise. Thus, and on the contrary, according to Geert vanden Bossche, the mRNA vaccines may drive viral immune escape, which is to say the emergence of variants that escape control by antibodies to the original Wuhan strain of Covid, the production of which the vaccines induce. 

Unlike those who have been "vaccinated," i.e., inoculated with an mRNA "vaccine", the "unvaccinated" will, if infected by Covid, either die of the disease, or develop full spectrum immunity. In the latter case, they will rid themselves entirely of the virus and achieve long-lasting and probably life-long T-cell immunity to future infection. In either case, they cannot be a source of infection to others, whether of the original Wuhan strain or a scary variant.

The possibility of an "unvaccinated" person becoming the source of a deadly new variant thus seems low, as any such a variant would have to be spread during the relatively brief course of the illness, when the infectiousness of the individual is obvious and will be guarded against. 

The "vaccinated" however, according to what we have been told by the seemingly all-knowing Dr. Fauci — a man apparently among those responsible for the laboratory creation of the super-infectious Covid virus — can carry the infection "asymptomatically," thus unknowingly spreading potentially variant viral progeny far and wide.

Will Vaccines End the Pandemic?

From Britain, where 35% of the population has now been jabbed with one of the novel RNA "vaccines," the indications are that the treatment works. Among the "vaccinated" both cases and hospitalization rates are falling. 

Thus: 

Even a single dose of the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines helps reduce the incidence of both severe illness and hospitalizations, 

Even a single dose also helps lower mortality.


Still, there are some who say it is too soon to declare victory over Covid. Indeed, it has been argued that mass vaccination during a pandemic is precisely the wrong thing to do.

Why?

Because it will drive viral immune escape, making the virus resistant to, not only the novel "vaccines," but also the body's natural defense mechanisms.

Perhaps the most vocal exponent of this concern is the highly qualified vaccine expert, Dr. G. vanden Bossche. In this interview he expounds the reason for his concern:

Or to summarize Dr. vanden Bossche's thesis, the mRNA vaccines:
(1) suppress disease expression without preventing infection and virus transmission.

(2) induce antibodies effective against current viral strains, while suppressing the production of natural, long-lived, broad-spectrum antibodies effective against novel virus strains. 

(3) because of (1) and (2), vaccines drive the survival and spread of novel viral strains against which the current mRNA vaccines will be ineffective.
Those, collectively, must be the mechanisms that account, in whole or in part, for the phenomenon of antibody-determined enhancement, or ADE -- the enhancement being of viral infectivity and disease severity. 

So are the Brits really winning the war on Covid?

Or are they merely enjoying hubris before nemesis in the form of a renewed and more deadly "vaccine"-induced epidemic?

Ominously, Zero Hedge reports: COVID Cases Are Spiking In A Dozen States With High Vaccination Rates but the details provided are too few to draw any conclusion as to whether these trends could be an early indication of ADE in action.

What is not certain the question of vaccine safety is that expert opinion is uncertain. Thus for example, a review article published only five months ago in the journal Frontiers in Immunology concluded with the following statement:
Potential disease enhancement and other theoretical safety concerns related to each type of vaccine need to be understood and carefully monitored for, while potential suboptimal immunity may need to be overcome. Certain vulnerable populations may respond poorly to vaccination, or the vaccine may predominantly protect against severe disease, rather than infection. If T cells prove critical for protection, it will be necessary to ensure that the included T cell epitopes are recognized by enough HLA types to ensure worldwide coverage.
So if you've already been vaccinated, thanks and congratulations for taking part in the world's largest ever experimental vaccine trial.
