So what is left about covid that hasn’t proven to be totally false? WSJ this week reports the origin was a lab leak. Masks definitively don’t work. Vaccines aren’t actually vaccines (and ‘wear off’ in a matter of months). Lock downs proven to be ineffective and actually harmful. Small business can’t stay open but big businesses can. What was actually proven to be true and effective that public health told us?

Hi John,

I like what you said about the Covid vaccines actually not being vaccines. You are 100% correct. They are “shots” that wear off over time - similar to a flu shot. Whether or not someone believes in this Covid treatment or not, calling this a vaccine rather than a shot was a bad decision as vaccines generally are one or two shots then done. Poorly handled.

What in the world are yall on about. All vaccines "wear off" - they always have, especially if they inoculate against rapidly mutating diseases.

This is why people have to get flu shots every year.

You just made his point. Mutating viruses can’t be vaccinated against like polio. By the time you make a vaccine, the virus has mutated or isn’t the prevalent one. However THESE shots wore off within MONTHS so even if the virus didn’t mutate it wasn’t going to work - and they KNEW it. They also knew that children didn’t need it, that of course natural immunity is better and that there were serious side effects. They knew this all. That’s what we are “on about,” as you put it.

Well, all vaccines *can* wear off. I suppose not all of them do in practical terms, e.g. you only need one rabies shot for lifelong protection. Still

Proper handwashing seems to be effective!
