Report: 60% of New COVID-19 Cases Have Already Been Vaccinated

Government officials have been championing COVID vaccines as the was to get back to normal life. They have been telling us that the vaccine is “for the community,” protects others, and is the only way to resume normal life.

Yet Yale Epidemiologist Harvey Risch recently shed some light on the true mechanism of the vaccine and the resulting outcomes. In an interview on Steve Bannon’s War Room, Risch noted that the vaccine manufacturers provided no data regarding the vaccine’s ability to slow down or stop the spread of infection and had only noted that the vaccine reduced the severity of the infection by between 60-90% for a vaccinated individual.

This data indicates that the COVID-19 vaccines produce results similar to influenza vaccines – they reduce severity, but they don’t affect the physical trajectory of the virus. This falls perfectly in line with the standard understanding that asymptomatic people are not vectors for viral transmission and those who are naturally less susceptible to the disease (like children) have no need for the vaccine.

This data confirms the (once commonly accepted) understanding that vaccines are about protecting the vaccinated individual, not the society as a whole. This also reinforces the common-sense notion that those at higher risk of serious COVID-19 should consider getting the vaccine to lessen their severity, but that the vaccine will not stop you from having your day with the virus. Everyone will come into contact with it, and when the virus is in your system (whether or not you develop COVID-19) you will very likely test positive and be counted as a case. There is no such thing as stopping the spread. Ironically, this was the standard wisdom underpinning the “flatten the curve” origins of heavy-handed government action.
