So on March 29th 2021, when the Director of the CDC Rochelle Walensky said:
“Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real world data.”
Or on May 16, 2021 when Anthony Fauci said:
“When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health and that of the family but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community… In other words, you become a dead end to the virus. And when there are a lot of dead ends around, the virus is not going to go anywhere.”
Or on July 21st 2021 when Joe Biden said:
“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”
Tell me, exactly what was I supposed to take away from that messaging, if indeed I’m apparently lying?
I suppose Rachel Maddow didn’t say the following on March 29th 2021, while her show was routinely hosting government officials and health experts to talk about COVID:
“Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person. A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people.”
Imagine if Pfizer’s CEO tweeted the following on April 1st 2021:
“Excited to share that updated analysis from our Phase 3 study with BioNTech also showed that our COVID-19 vaccine was 100% effective in preventing #COVID19 cases in South Africa. 100%!”
I must have quite the active imagination to hallucinate these things and arrive at a bizarre conclusion that differs so much from what you recall.
- bamboozled 1y agoOnce again, the answer to these problems is not more bullshit...it's less. As I already acknowledged there were fuck ups, incorrect messaging, and the response had flaws. Yet scientists and medical experts were the best chance we had at getting through it, and they will be instrumental in handling the next one. The reason you're not dead from Ebola spreading is because scientists know that Ivermectin doesn't work for Ebola, for example. We're not ready for the next pandemic, we're in a way way worse position and let's say it was an even more serious virus, we're sure as shit not just going to podcast our way out of it next time.
- transcriptase 1y agoSo you’re just going to hand-wave away falsely claiming I’m lying about the experts and media explicitly spreading wrong information under some nebulous belief that putting blind faith in authority is still better than believing anything else? I might find the whole “scientists know better than you or I do” drivel cute if I wasn’t one myself, or if I didn’t witness my peers repeatedly exaggerating or downright lying because they thought it was for the greater good. Grow up.
