The vast majority in America is shunning vaccination against COVID-19 more than a month after availability according to the CDC


 

Reported on Friday, October 11th, 2024:

  • The percent of adults age 18+ reporting receipt of the updated 2024─25 COVID-19 vaccine is 11.2% (9.7-12.7), including 26.7% (21.7-31.7) among adults age 65+.

The Feds are renewing the COVID-19 hospitalization reporting requirement effective Nov 1 despite an actually lower current infection peak than in previous years

 I couldn't believe it when I saw it, but it's true.

The pandemic emergency ended in May 2023.

Required reporting of hospitalizations expired in April 2024, after which "The number of hospitals regularly reporting data decreased by nearly two thirds." 

Are the Feds preparing for the general?

Oh no, not again: COVID-19 school closures in Tennessee and Alabama

 Of all pandemic deaths to date, school age children accounted for about 961 of 1,196,681 or 0.08%, according to the CDC.

Current wastewater surveillance is relatively high but hardly alarming, according to the CDC.

Have we learned nothing?

Yes, of course. We all went to public school.

One reason Americans are fatter than ever might seem to be sloth, except for the fact that 60% of the population worked in both 1979 and 2022 but the average work week dropped by just one hour over the period

According to the CDC, obesity is most severe among those of late middle-age, so if you can prevent it before then you are more likely to escape it later:

The prevalence of severe obesity was highest among adults aged 40–59 compared with other age groups.

Peak Baby Boom turned 40 in 1997.


Americans worked 32.61 hours per week on average in 1979 and 31.57 hours in 2022

All countries in 2016 with 30% of population or more obese

60% of the US population was working in both 1979 and 2022

42 million in the United States have forms of sexually transmitted human papillomavirus which can cause disease

More than 42 million Americans are infected with types of HPV that cause disease. ... Most HPV infections (9 out of 10) go away by themselves within 2 years. But sometimes, HPV infections will last longer and can cause some cancers.     
 
More.     

About 70% of cancers in the oropharynx (which includes the tonsils, soft palate, and base of the tongue) are linked to human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted virus.

Gonorrhea cases in the United States are up 135% in 12 years

 From 301,174 cases in 2009 to 710,151 cases in 2021

Chlamydia cases in the United States are up 32% in the last 12 years

From 1,244,180 in 2009 to 1,644,416 in 2021

Syphilis cases in the United States are up every year since 2009, a whopping 294% in 12 years

Democrats begin Election 2024 leading with the lie that gun violence is the number one cause of death among children


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The CDC says otherwise.

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death among US children aged 1-17 years since 1999, totaling 126,650. Among those the number one cause is motor vehicle traffic accidents, totaling 67,884. Number two is drowning accidents, at 19,062.  In eighth place is firearm accidents, totaling 2,265.

The second leading cause of death is childhood cancer, totaling 36,312.

The third leading cause of death is homicide, totaling 31,690. Among those the number one cause is firearms, totaling 19,306.

The fourth leading cause of death is suicide, totaling 26,653. Among those the number one cause is suicide by suffocation, totaling 12,890. The number two cause is suicide by firearm, totaling 10,934. Believe it, or not.

If you total firearm accidents, firearm homicides, and firearm suicides over the last 22 years for Americans aged 1-17 you still get only 32,505, a distant third place behind motor vehicle traffic accidents and cancer.

Meanwhile Democrats champion abortion on demand, which has killed untold millions upon millions of children since 1973, for which guns is just the smokescreen.

Incompetent lab inspectors from CDC completely missed rusting wastewater system at Fort Detrick Army biolab which spilled 2,000-3,000 gallons of contaminated water into Carroll Creek, USAMRIID response took 6 days until photo emerged


 Unsterilized laboratory wastewater from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland, spewed out the top of a rusty 50,000-gallon outdoor holding tank, the pressure catapulting it over the short concrete wall that was supposed to contain hazardous spills.

It was May 25, 2018, the Friday morning before Memorial Day weekend, and the tank holding waste from labs working with Ebola, anthrax, and other lethal pathogens had become overpressurized, forcing the liquid out a vent pipe.

An estimated 2,000-3,000 gallons streamed into a grassy area a few feet from an open storm drain that dumps into Carroll Creek — a centerpiece of downtown Frederick, Maryland, a city of about 80,000 an hour’s drive from the nation’s capital.

But as the waste sprayed for as long as three hours, records show, none of the plant’s workers apparently noticed the tank had burst a pipe. This was despite the facility being under scrutiny from federal lab regulators following catastrophic flooding and an escalating series of safety failures that had been playing out for more than a week. ...

Lab inspectors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had apparently failed to recognize the plant was in such disrepair. The CDC offered no explanation of how the problems were missed, but after the incident it created a new policy and task force for overseeing labs’ wastewater decontamination systems.

Samuel Edwin, director of the CDC’s select agent regulatory program, did not grant an interview. Two years before the plant flooded and failed, the CDC had hired Edwin from USAMRIID, where he had spent eight years as the biological surety officer and responsible official in charge of making sure USAMRIID’s labs complied with federal regulations.

The whole story is a comedy of incompetence which would be funny if it weren't so serious, here.

The Feds always bury the bad info in Friday afternoon data dumps when no one is paying attention

 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday said it is “very unlikely” the Pfizer omicron booster carries a risk of stroke for seniors after it launched an investigation into a preliminary safety concern detected by one of its monitoring systems.

The CDC, in a statement posted to its website Friday, said a surveillance system called the Vaccine Safety Datalink detected a possible risk for stroke in people ages 65 and older who received the Pfizer booster shot targeting the omicron Covid variant. A CDC spokesperson said this issue was first detected in late November.

By mid-December, the CDC concluded the concern was persisting and launched an investigation into whether seniors are more likely to have a stroke in the first 21 days after receiving the Pfizer booster, the spokesperson said. A similar preliminary signal was not detected for Moderna’s booster.

The VSD monitoring system found that 130 people ages 65 and older had a stroke within 21 days of receiving the Pfizer omicron booster among about 550,000 seniors who received the shot, the CDC spokesperson said. No deaths have been reported. The Washington Post earlier reported the news. ...

The agency spokesperson said investigators hope to have a clearer picture and more data in the coming weeks.

Story here.

Again, notice the limited scope "within 21 days". 

Hey, if I don't get sick within 90 days of reception the jab worked, right?

And if I don't have a stroke within 21 days of reception, no problem, right? 

Right?

The people have been voting on this with their feet.

From the peak in April 2021, the vaccine uptake rate in the US has collapsed from 1.06% to 0.04%, or over 96%.

The current rate annualized would mean just 48.5 million Americans per year will get a jab, about 14.6% of the 332 million population.

Meanwhile, France, 80.6% of which has received at least one dose of a vaccine to date, ranks 37th to date for deaths per million at 2438.

Germany, 77.8% of which has received at least one dose of a vaccine, ranks 50th at 1975.

The United States, 80.9% of which has received at least one dose of a vaccine, ranks 12th WORST in the world at 3439.

Vaccine coverage doesn't seem obviously correlated with outcomes.

Life insurance payouts soared past $100 billion in 2021 as pandemic took over 800,000 total US lives by year end

 Payouts rose 11% in 2021 to $100.19 billion, most likely due to the pandemic, according to the American Council of Life Insurers. The increase was on the heels of a 15% year-over-year rise in 2020, when death-benefit payments totaled $90.43 billion. ... The year-over-year increases are among the largest since the 1918 flu pandemic, when payments surged 41%. They are far above the 4.9% average from 2011 to 2021, the ACLI said. Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. jumped 20% in 2021 to approximately 460,000, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC is no longer saying, as it did in June, that mRNA from the vaccines lasts in the body only "a few days", and that the spike proteins last only "a few weeks"

 Here's the screenshot from the "Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines" page as of June 16th:







 

 

 

 

As of July 15th, the facts have changed!

There's no "few days" language anymore, and no "few weeks" language either. Instead at the bottom of the page there's a link off-site to this page, which talks about how long the mRNA and the spike protein last in monkeys and mice, but not in YOU.

After all this time the CDC has no human data?

I'd be upset if I were you. They've been claiming for more than a year that the mRNA and the spike proteins are gone from the human body within days and weeks. They're not claiming that anymore.

The CDC is sweeping this under the rug hoping you won't notice, announcing, as it is, the new guidance.








Why do excess deaths in the US consistently outnumber pandemic deaths?

In 2020 the difference was a whopping 118,000.

In 2021, when vaccination got into high gear, the difference was way down, but still high at about 36,000. That's at least equivalent to a whole year of influenza deaths.

Many skeptics are convinced the vaccines have something to do with this, and the CDC's deletion of "facts" from the fact box above isn't going to help convince them otherwise.

You are being lied to: CDC data shows firearm homicides among children ages 1-17 are down 28% 1999-2020 vs. 1981-1998

 For the 22 years 1999-2020 (8,030 days) firearm homicides among children ages 1-17 totaled 19,306 or 2.404/day.

For the 18 years 1981-1998 (6,570 days) firearm homicides among children ages 1-17 totaled 21,919 or 3.336/day.

The per day rate has declined 28%.
