Along those lines...I haven't found which trials have determined more Covid-19 vaccinated patients recovered from the infection because the "vaccine" worked, vs those vaccinated and the patient's own immune system did the work "despite" the jab. We know who will say the "vaccine" boosted the patients ability to fight off some variants of Covid based on "belief" it did, but did it really when compared to how well a healthy person's immune system was likely to defeat Covid without the shot? Think "placebo-effect" here for those with strong immune systems getting the jab vs those perhaps tens of millions or more who recovered from Covid without knowing they ever had it, including before CoVid-19 got its name.
Ken, this is another good post where hurried policy-making far outpaced the reliable science to back it up resulting in more people potentionally (and actually) being harmed or worse, for nothing more than political expedency.
As far as deaths go, I think that chart pretty much sums it up. There was hardly any change from 2020 to 2021 even though most of the country was vaccinated. What little change there was could easily have been due to the fact that there were fewer really frail people around because of the last big wave. Then omicron took over and the government said, "Look what our vaccine did!"
Forcing the old and frail onto Remdesivir and ventilators did them in, not necessarily the virus. Forcing infected patients to live with old and frail - but uninfected - doomed both groups.
Making medical policy based on a single "doctor's" advice, the same "doctor" who hasn't see a patient in person in decades, is quite possibly the worst of the worst decisions ever made. These, plus governments abandonment of everything we've known about virology for more than 200 years is what grew resentment by the citizens in every country. And you're right Ken, NO ONE who made those decisions has ever been held to account for the damages they caused. Worse yet, just as in legacy media, governments and their cheerleaders simply don't care.
👍 The image is useful and telling, either way. Personally, I'd like to see the estimates for how many people recovered from Covid without ever getting the jab, no medical visits. My cynisism says governments have that info but don't want to publish it since they *know*, by forcing mandates, they made the plandemic worse than would have happened with little to no action taken by governments themselves (beyond public service announcements.) Their own released data shows Covid is 98+% recoverable without any intervention across all age groups combined. Yes, mortality risk is higher for older, unfit, immune-compromised, and people living in unsanitary conditions, but so has been every other widespread respiratory virus since the plague including colds and seasonal flu. Them knowing that is what burns my toast.
Well, if the initial two shots wear off after six months, and only 20% of people are now considered "fully vaccinated", then we have a very good idea of how many people have recovered without the government’s help. I think by now, there isn't anyone who hasn't been exposed to the virus.
The real tragedy here (and what still angers me more than anything else) is how we were (and still are) being played for absolute idiots. It's been "Daddy knows best" all the way through and the dutiful goody-goodies just piled on top of anyone who didn't go along. It's bad enough that there were and are real harms being done, but the worst of it is that many who were harmed felt they didn't have a choice.
And still no recognition from those who orchestrated it.
I disagree that you, I, and the tens of millions of others are being played, but your point is valid for those who's knee-jerk reaction to anything is , "Well, government knows best." We, or rather the collection of us that don't ask, "how high?" when government says, "JUMP!", may not be vocalizing our position loudly in public, but I believe it's safe to say we're much better prepared overall against a government-sponsored war against her own citizens than those who 'roll-over' on command to 'Dictator's in Chief'. Completly agree with citizens having 'no choice' when their jobs, finances, and livelyhoods were (are?) threatened for nothing more than disobedience. What ever happened to Due Process?
What I meant is that our government obviously believes they can get away with anything, and though there are many (and growing) who see through it, it still hasn't stopped that from happening. Turn on the news any day of the week and it's very evident. We're (collectively) still allowing it to continue.
In a sense, "allowing it to continue" is accurate. Best we can do though is make our voices heard loud and clear now and at the ballot box and hope those tasked with ensuring fair elections and results do their jobs honorably. Without transparancy in those election results, nothing will change while the other side "keeps voting until they win", if you know what I mean.
You're going to have to be a little more specific there, Ned because I watched that video and it doesn't debunk anything I said here, let alone "everything".

I've been looking at that image that I used from worldometers showing daily deaths and I've added a bit more context to it.

This is an excellent YouTube channel that goes in-depth to debunk everything you’ve said here. Highly recommended viewing.
