[QUOTE=AaronHamlet;5457752]A FBI informant hatched the plot to kidnap Whitmer.
A FBI informant led recon missions showing members the location of Whitmer's vacation cabin.
A FBI informant secured weapons for the 'mission'.
A FBI informant was paid $24 k and given a new car by the FBI.
A FBI informant recruited members online and provided airline tickets, motel rooms and meals to the new members. All paid for by the FBI.
12 of the 18 named in the plot to kidnap Whitmer were FBI informants.
FBI informants were informing the FBI on the actions of other FBI informants who were informing the FBI on the actions of those same FBI informants.
The FBI case officer who ran the operation to thwart the Whitmer kidnapping was promoted and is now in charge of the investigation regarding the Jan. 6 insurrection plan to overthrow the government.[/QUOTE]No surprise, they ratted out their white supremacist colleagues for monetary gain and without them, Michigan Gov Wittmer would probably have been kidnapped and killed. The FBI relies heavily on the systematic recruitment and operation of human sources in nearly every facet of its wide-ranging investigatory purview, including counterintelligence activities conducted jointly with the Central Intelligence Agency and military intelligence. The identities of informants, many of whom have criminal histories or face criminal charges, are tightly held secrets. Thus, negotiations around their cooperation, and any benefits they may receivewhich can include financial compensationtake place largely off the record.
The Gatewaypundit has nothing to do with it and you know it. The source could just as well have been CNN, except they won't dare put out anything negative against the vaccines, even if it's actual factual news. That's negligent reporting, but it's unfortunately rampant when it comes to the vaccine agenda here. The data and the links provided were straight from the CDC and you know that. The VAERS system has been used for all vaccines for more than 30 years, and there is follow-up done by the CDC. These deaths are not being faked. We're supposed to believe all of sudden there's a huge anomaly with this sytem? You're really reaching here with the rationalizations.
Norway took a hard look at their vaccination program and here was their conclusion:
"Calculations have been performed based on Norwegian data where the risk of dying from COVID-19 disease among the different age groups is compared with the risk of dying from the severe, but rare, condition with severe blood clots observed after AstraZeneca vaccination.
"Since there are few people who die from COVID-19 in Norway, the risk of dying after vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine would be higher than the risk of dying from the disease, particularly for younger people," says Bukholm. ".

They are looking into the claims against other vaccines now as well.
That's the kind of honest risk assessment that should be being done here, but is taboo to even be talked about here. If anyone dare brings it up, they are censored and labeled as spreading disinformation. This is doing a great disservice to the people, and time will bear this out, but it's already too late for many, and the long-term consequences may be dire for many more (only time will reveal this).

"The results from the work have been shared continuously with the Norwegian, Danish and international authorities and were included in their assessments about the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
There is no contradiction between our findings and the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) assessment of the vaccine. Although rare, severe side effects can occur, the EMA has stated that the overall benefit of the vaccine outweighs the risk, says Gulseth.
Gulseth points out that COVID-19 is a severe disease, and each country must therefore make their own assessment of the benefits of the vaccine compared to the risk of possible side effects. The assessment must be based on the situation in each country, such as the number of cases of severe side effects, the degree of control of the epidemic, and access to alternative vaccines."
Oh, there's plenty of data to back it up, the same data that's been used for 30 years. They just don't want to use it now because it doesn't suit their purpose. Again, this is data the CDC itself uses, so although you worship the CDC on the one hand, now you want to criticize the data they themself use because it shows a problem for your agenda. VAERS data is the standard for vaccines, and this same standard has been used and applied for vaccines for more than 30 years. Now we've got these experimental vaccines clearly sticking out as problematic outliers, and you want to claim it's all a problem with the system? Give me a break. The system may not be perfect, but after 30 years it's still the best we have, and any fool can look at those graphs and see those huge jumps in deaths are indicative of problems with these vaccines, and not the system.
Put your bias aside and try to be objective for once. I could care less about politics, but hearing your idol Biden talk last night about how the vaccine had ended the epidemic for the vaccinated showed what a hypocrite he is, and how he is willing to risk the public's health for the sake of politics. Here he's had his administration on a campaign against "disinformation" against the vaccines, and then he goes and makes a completely false statement like that when we're in the midst of the Delta variant on the move, which the vaccines have been proven to be ineffective against the spread. Bold-faced lies to push his agenda and make himself look better, but only proves himself ignorant to those who are actually informed.
As for Norway, they didn't change their ruling or their rationale, so they stand by the assessment in the article that I linked.

Oh, so you mean it's like COVID stats then, right? So it's ok to count COVID deaths that way, but not vaccine deaths? Bit of a double-standard there, isn't it?
You don't have to answer, it's a rhetorical question really, because the point is this is how VAERS data has always been collected. And by that same measure, these vaccines are extreme outliers.
[QUOTE=SgtSoros;5457795]Geez, you spew so much bullshit, I don't know if I should offer you a breath mint or some toilet paper. FYI, the data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System(VAERS) does NOT support the FALSE claims that thousands have died from COVID-19 vaccines. Anyone can make a submission to the VAERS database. Cases are not fact-checked, making them scientifically unreliable. According to the CDC, a review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsies, and medical records, has NOT established a causal link to covid-19 vaccines.
[I]More than 334 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through July 12, 2021, the CDC said in a statement. During this time, VAERS received 6,079 reports of death (0.0018%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. That number is not a death toll.
The CDC goes on to say: FDA requires healthcare providers to report ANY death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if its UNCLEAR whether the vaccine was the cause. [B]Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.[/B][/I]
Examples in the database include:
[I]"The patient who had an apparent cardiac arrest on 12/23/20 and was admitted to the ICU. He was taken off of life support on 12/30/20. He had known cardiac disease."
"There were no adverse reactions. Resident Died, she had a history of issues with her health prior to the vaccine."
Doctor Stephanie Shore with UF Health said she and her colleagues report data to VAERS, even if they are unsure an adverse event is related to the COVID-19 vaccine.[/I]
[B]This from the CDC: Statements that imply that deaths following vaccination equate to deaths caused by vaccination are, "scientifically inaccurate, misleading, and irresponsible. ".[/B]
[I]When a serious adverse event is reported, like death, CDC requests and reviews all available medical records, death certificates which specify the cause of death, and autopsy reports. CDC reviews these records and verifies the certified cause of death. Then does further analysis to see if theres anything unusual or unexpected happening in other monitoring systems like the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD).[/I][/QUOTE]

Lockdowns and vaccinations are not the answers, but stupid political band-aid appeasement tactics with much worse overall consequences.[/QUOTE]Its important to distinguish between 0, 1, and 2 doses. See this article from the UK:
[URL] https://www.businessinsider.com/uk-half-covid-19-cases-had-vaccine-study-zoe-delta-2021-7[/URL]
Having one dose offered significantly less protection than two doses against prior variants, against Delta having one dose is only marginally better than no doses at all. But getting two doses is still quite effective.
As of July 15, an estimated 17,581 new daily UK cases of COVID-19 were in unvaccinated people, the study authors said in a press release on Thursday.
That compares to an estimated 15,537 new COVID-19 cases in people who had at least one dose of the vaccine, which is about 47% of all cases.
70% of the UK is at least partially vaccinated but they only account for 47% of all cases. If you were to further break it down by 1 and 2 doses, given the above chart its an easy bet that an outsized proportion of that 47% is from 15% or so of the UK that is partially vaccinated. More broadly speaking as vaccinations trend upward, statistically the odds of a new case being someone whose vaccinated will tick up, with the obvious conclusion being well, places like Gibraltar where close to 100% of people are vaccinated and thus will account for all new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
What is clear is that vaccinations do help, even against the Delta variant they weren't even designed for. The CDC indicates that from December 14th when the first vaccine was administered to July 12th, a total of 1,063 vaccinated Americans have died of "breakthrough" Covid-19 cases, 3/4 ers of them elderly. Roughly that many unvaccinated Americans die every 4 days currently.
[URL]https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html[/URL]
In protecting against infection, Pfizer vaccines are 95% effective for the alpha variant but only 64% effective for the delta variant.
In preventing symptomatic COVID-19 cases, Pfizer vaccines are 97% effective for the alpha variant but only 64% effective for the delta variant.
In preventing hospitalization and serious disease, Pfizer vaccines are 97.5% effective for the alpha variant and still 93% effective for the delta variant.
While the Pfizer vaccine is less effective against the delta variant, the vaccine's effectiveness still far exceeds the 50% vaccine efficacy threshold required for WHO approval, according to the organization's website.
"Just because a variant emerges that renders the vaccines less effective doesn't mean those vaccines weren't effective in the first place," according to The Washington Post.
This article [URL]https://www.deseret.com/coronavirus/2021/7/20/22584134/whats-going-on-in-israels-outbreak-among-vaccinated-people[/URL]
which acknowledges a significant reducation in effect by Pfizer vaccines against cases in Israel still acknowledges that it is highly effective at preventing hospitalization and serious disease, something important given that Delta might be as much as twice the baseline hospitalization rate of older variants. Meanwhile 2/3 rds protection against spread is still a significant reduction in spread. And yes in the long run we will have to take seasonal vaccines like we do with the flu. Does it eradicate the flu? No. Does it have 90%+ efficacy? Not always. But is it worth it? Yes.
Also vaccines do not 'create' variants. What creates variants is more people getting infected, resulting in more opportunities for viruses to mutate into more dangerous forms. There was already variants popping up before any vaccine appeared whose fitness was so high that they largely replaced existing strains. Delta would've taken the same course of action regardless of whether or not vaccines decimated the 'competition' or not. I directly blame the rise of variants on a failure of people to take lockdowns seriously, then a failure of people to take vaccinations seriously.
The lockdowns were a disaster and history has shown that. Everyone said GA was going to be a COVID nightmare by never entirely shutting down, and being the first to reopen. Never happened. The lockdown states fared far worse. History will show the same for these experimental vaccines. The difference between you and me is that I'm willing to say that regardless of whether Trump or Biden is pushing the agenda, whereas you would argue for your idol's side and rationalize away the facts according to how the political winds suit him. He's your god and he can never do wrong. Worship at his feet.

Which implemented too little, too late, too disparately. There are numerous countries around the world which successfully locked down early, had no major outbreaks, then were subsequently able to reopen earlier and more completely minimizing the economic hit. Trying to avoid a lockdown was not possible, for the simple reality that whenever things got bad enough people voluntarily locked down and ensured businesses would get hit hard economically even if things were "open". The only route to reopening businesses was getting the pandemic under control, which Trumpist USA refused and continues to refuse to do.
Meanwhile the efficacy of vaccines at both massively reducing cases, hospitalizations, and deaths is demonstrated again and again in country after country, state after state. For example:
[url]https://www.virginiamercury.com/2021/07/08/unvaccinated-and-partially-vaccinated-virginians-account-for-virtually-all-new-covid-cases-since-december-data-shows/[/url]
From December 29 to June 25,99. 7 percent of new COVID-19 cases have occurred among unvaccinated or partially vaccinated Virginians, according to VDH. Those residents made up 99.3 percent of hospitalizations and 99.6 percent of deaths over the same time period.
The reality is that the data shows that people died of Covid, lockdowns can work if done right, and vaccinations are effective, to some extent even against variant strands that showed up later.
No, I have not. And why put it in quotes? They are indeed experimental, and by all accounts, you are by definition participating in the Phase III trials of that experiment if you've had the vaccine. And no, I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I just don't believe these vaccines have been proven to be safe (in fact, I think the data shows quite the opposite). I also think their effectiveness leaves a lot to be desired. I believe there will be much better vaccines to come.
