Very, very few takers for that new COVID booster

In some non-Hamas news, there are still things happening on the domestic front in the United States (believe it or not). One recent development amazingly still involves COVID and the debate over vaccines, specifically the new round of boosters that are currently being rolled out with the very hasty approval of the CDC. Outkick took a deep dive into the situation yesterday and produced a lengthy report. The number of issues they discovered that should give people pause is significant, but perhaps even more remarkable is the fact that the vast majority of Americans apparently no longer require as much of a warning as they should have received back in 2020 and 2021. Justifiable suspicions are running rampant and the number of people who have signed up for a booster shot is quite low. And we’re talking about a very small number here.

As if we needed more proof that COVID destroyed the public health profession, the public response to this year’s booster doses is as good as you’re going to get.

Last year, the CDC, FDA, Dr. Fauci and other health “experts” spent months excoriating the public to get an updated, bivalent booster. They were adamant that those boosters, despite little testing and overhyped results, were necessary to prevent a significant winter surge and increased transmission. Talk about an illusion of control

Now, more than a month after they were authorized based on testing on eight mice, we have an update on what percentage have gotten the new doses, after relentless excoriation from the CDC. And it’s low. Really low.

The previous shot that the CDC authorized last year was only taken by 17% of the population, predominantly among the elderly. But the new booster is performing even worse. Thus far, according to DHS, roughly 7 million Americans have received the latest COVID booster. That works out to approximately two percent of the population. People aren’t buying what the government is peddling and, as Outkick points out, it’s not because the public has lost faith in the general concept of traditional vaccines. They’ve lost faith in the government and what they call The Vaccine Industrial Complex. And this government brought this upon itself by getting so many things spectacularly wrong (masks, social distancing, closing schools) while suppressing dissenting voices from the medical community who wound up being proven correct.

So what did Outkick discover about the new round of boosters that make them appear dubious at best? For one thing, just like last year’s bivalent shot series, these boosters were developed to target a variant of the COVID-19 virus that has already disappeared from the population. And that variant wound up being significantly weaker than the original strains, doing far less damage to a population that had already not only been vaccinated, but had developed significant, natural herd immunity after contracting the disease that the shots were allegedly supposed to prevent. On top of that, the CDC approved the boosters after the manufacturer submitted the results of testing them on eight mice.

Also, the new boosters may be “retuned,” but they were still created using the same mRNA technology as the previous ones. While the government is finally admitting that they will not prevent people from catching or transmitting the disease, they are still insisting that it will lessen the worst effects if you catch it. But it’s been a couple of years now. By this point, couldn’t Washington have invested in the development of a traditional vaccine made from a weakened sample of the virus that actually might prevent infection or transmission. After all… isn’t that sort of the definition of a “vaccine” to begin with? Apparently that hasn’t crossed anyone’s mind at the CDC.

And what ever happened to that investigation into the actual origins of the pandemic? The House has been taking up the question at long last, but progress is slow and the CDC has seemed to be awfully reluctant to talk about it. Remember, this is the same CDC that, along with Fauci, assured us that speculating about a possible lab origin of the virus made you a racist homophobe and probably a Putin-loving traitor as well. And yet it now seems almost beyond dispute that the virus was not only cooked up in a Wuhan lab, but the NHI under Fauci’s direction probably paid for it, at least in part.

Why wouldn’t people be suspicious? Again, they’re not suspicious of all shots. Flu vaccination rates have indeed slumped significantly since the pandemic, but they’re still above 50%. And that’s light years ahead of the acceptance of these new COVID boosters. If you want to restore the faith of Americans in this system, try lying less, hiring better people, and immediately admitting if you get something wrong. The government has simply been creating totally justifiable conspiracy theories surrounding this entire topic, and a lot of those “conspiracies” turned out to be real.
