Covid Shot ENHANCES Delta Infectivity

Yea, this isn't the first go around for that one. I'm starting to think people are so afraid they have become desperate to find something to cling to....truth no longer matters.

 

Not contrary to JonC. I ignore it all except to offer opposing articles and full articles to incomplete ones.

The problem is people are just making up what they think might happen.

GA reports an overwhelming number of unva content deaths BUT GA is mostly unvaccinated.

Other places report a higher number of vaccinated cases BUT those areas are mostly vaccinated.

It is data manuplation for an already decided conclusion on both sides - they have a conclusion and look for data that can be made to support it.

That said, I do look at cases (actual data). Not to make a decision - I've been vaccinated since April - but to know what is happening in my area.

I do not care if other people get vaccinated. That is their decision. I do not care if they choose to be vaccinated to keep a job or choose to quit rather than be vacvinated. That is their decision. I do not care if an employer requires people to be vaccinated. That is up to them.

In short, I am to be faithful to Hod wherever I am. That is really it. My reasons for being vaccinated are mine - nobody else's.

 

Fake news (misleading at best).

The article quoted in the OP's article (Aug 20, 2021) is the CDC saying booster shots may be needed because over time the effectiveness of the vaccine decreases and with time the risk for serious illness increases. It is NOT suggesting vaccinated people are more at risk than unvaccinated people.

The source for the OP article is listed as the 3rd reference and is provided below.

Just another dishonest post.


CDC Director: There is an 'increased risk of severe disease among those vaccinated early'

 

Except the article in the OP is a lie.

This is what it's source actually says:

"Walensky claimed that while the vaccine works well to prevent hospitalizations, the CDC is “seeing concerning evidence of waning vaccine effectiveness over time and against the delta variant.” She cited reports of international colleagues, including Israel “suggest increased risk of severe disease amongst those vaccinated early.”

Regardless of opinions about the vaccine, as a literate adult (and Christian) are you not able to discern the dishonesty in how the article uses its source?

Or do you believe a little dishonesty is fine if it supports your opinions?

 

Lets look at the article and its source with Christian eyes (with a bit of honesty).

The source:

"Walensky claimed that while the vaccine works well to prevent hospitalizations, the CDC is “seeing concerning evidence of waning vaccine effectiveness over time and against the delta variant.” She cited reports of international colleagues, including Israel “suggest increased risk of severe disease amongst those vaccinated early.”

The articles conclusion:

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who got the COVID shot early are now at increased risk for severe COVID disease.
This may be a sign that antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) is occurring, or it may simply indicate that the protection offered is limited to a few months, at best.

The source:

Sera of mice immunized by Delta spike, but not wild-type spike, consistently neutralized the Delta 4+ variant without enhancing infectivity. Given the fact that a Delta variant with three similar RBD mutations has already emerged according to the GISAID database, it is necessary to develop vaccines that protect against such complete breakthrough variants.

The articles conclusion:

A study posted August 23, 2021, on the preprint server bioRxiv now warns the Delta variant “is posed to acquire complete resistance to wild-type spike vaccines.” This could essentially turn into a worst-case scenario that sets up those who have received the Pfizer shots for more severe illness when exposed to the virus.


Expert sources include the blogs and CNBC.

The issue is not whether the vacvine works or not. The issue is professing Christians willing to accept misinformation and lies....even PRAISE these sources....if it suits their opinions.

Christians - regardless of sides on this issue - should be better people.

On the lighter side, it is interesting to see @Revmitchell refer to CNBC as a "great source" (CNBC is the source used for the data regarding the longevity of the vaccine).
