[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah heaven forbid people live their lives after they were told if they got vaccinated they were doing their part and couldn’t get Covid.[/quote]

I guess anyone foolish enough to put 100% faith in a new vaccine got what they deserved... just like people say about the unvaccinated.  Of course you could get covid.  There were two things we were being told... get vaccinated, live your life or these are good at reducing symptoms but you can still get covid.  If you choose to get vaccinated and live your life without precautions, you are to blame for the surge. [/quote]

Actually, the president of United States said in a press conference multiple times if you get the vaccine you won’t get Covid. You are an idiot. You’re not going to gaslight me or anyone else who did what they were supposed to do. If you want to live your life and a whole go ahead the rest of us are going to live with this virus because it’s going to be around for the rest of our lives. Enjoy living in your bunker.[/quote]

This is unfortunately what happens when the government is inept in some, but not all, things. People then have to determine individually and for themselves what was correct and what was fiction. Initially, the vaccines were crazy effective against any kind of infection. The FDA and CDC shifted from conservative mitigation to victory mode without all the data in. The President and local governments “followed that science.” In July, it became clear from Israeli data that efficacy against infection wanes, especially vs delta. Breakthrough infections were becoming common, but the FDA and CDC said they were rare, basing their analysis on data whose collection ended in April—months behind the times. Pfizer announced intention to get FDA EUA for a booster shot, and the FDA immediately released a statement that boosters weren’t necessary. A few weeks later, they approved boosters after finding that breakthrough infections were actually not super rare. Did the CDC then adjust quarantine guidance for exposure of the vaccinated, since protection was weaker? No, and they still haven’t, even with virtually no protection against omicron infection.

These agencies have released counterfactual statements and gone back on their declarations without acknowledging mistakes. They lost credibility. Now we pay the consequences because their lack of trustworthiness is obvious. It opens the door for people to say the vaccines are not health or  never worked or that the virus is fake. This is what happens when you don’t have a leg to stand on[/quote]
