I'm offended you wrote that in first person when it's clearly not you or your story. You don't seriously expect us to believe you're secretary of state... /S

what about the part of his career where he lied to the UN Security Council about the urgent need to invade Iraq to find WMDs?

Why vaccinated people dying from Covid-19 doesn't mean the vaccines are ineffective

The findings have prompted Norway to suggest that COVID-19 vaccines may be too risky for the very old and terminally ill, the most cautious statement yet from a European health authority.

I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time on this one, just read the summary and it sounds real dumb. Old people die of natural causes whether they have recently been vaccinated or not. If they aren't recorded as having died of COVID-19, they probably didn't have COVID-19. If they aren't recorded as having a condition related to vaccine administration, then they probably didn't die because of said condition.

Also, if someone is very old or terminally ill, the chances of them deing in the near future are rather high regardless of vaccine status.

I can understand why you wouldn't want to spend much time with the article. You'd have to deal with this part...

Vaccine Rollout Coincides With Outbreak
Other areas are also reporting "outbreaks" of COVID-19, resulting in increased death tolls, after the rollout of vaccinations. Case in point: In Auburn, New York, a COVID-19 outbreak began December 21, 2020, in a Cayuga County nursing home.9,10 Before this outbreak, no one in the nursing home had died from COVID-19.

The next day, December 22, they started vaccinating residents and staff. The first death was reported December 29, 2020. Between December 22, 2020, and January 9, 2021, 193 residents (80%) received the vaccine, as did 113 staff members.

As of January 9, 2021, 137 residents had been infected and 24 had died. Forty-seven staff members had also tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and one was on life-support.

Considering we're also seeing cases in which healthy young and middle-aged individuals die within days of receiving the vaccine, it's not inconceivable that the vaccine might have something to do with these dramatic rises in deaths among the elderly in various parts of the world. In fact, I'd expect it.

You can rest assured, however, that the public health authorities and media will not report these observations. Anything that conflicts with vaccine safety and effectiveness will be intentionally and universally buried. This is precisely their modus operandi of the past three decades, so it's really up to each individual to do their own research.

Wait, you are quoting a part of the article that is saying that a nursing home had a COVID-19 outbreak last December and a lot of people died due to COVID-19 within the next month. Is that supposed to be some sort of revelation?

Turns out, when there is an outbreak of a deadly disease, many people catch the disease, and many of those who are infected die. Was that not taught to everyone as children?

Administering a vaccine against a disease to a patient who is already sick with that disease isn't going to help them. If you run out in the rain, then put on a raincoat, you are already wet.

Clearly the raincoat functions like the jacket in Back to the Future II.

That's the problem with all these folks who are "doing their own research." Too many of them add 3 + 5 and come up with 2.71828 * 10 to -5.

Their research results will tend to be suspect.
