Thousands of hardworking Americans are about to be fired or barred from entry from public places unless they give in to the government mandate to roll up their sleeves and get the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines.
The economic impact of the pandemic has been troubling for many. Not many people realize that the pandemic is not limited to illness and death. It also saw communities suffering, individuals losing careers and lack of personal choice over personal medical decisions.
Vaccine mandates and passports, according to critics, are harbingers of corruption. In Italy, for instance, those with no vaccine passports were put on unpaid leaves with fines of up to 1,500 euros ($1,750). In the U.S., police officers and firefighters were put on unpaid leaves in New York, with fire stations closing due to sick-outs over the mandates.
Interestingly, new research involving nearly 70 countries suggests that COVID vaccines are not truly about public health. The study authors conclude that "there appears to be no discernable relationship between the percentage of the population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last seven days … In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with a higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people."
Effectiveness of vaccines called into question
This means that in some areas, higher vaccination rates correlate with more COVID-19 cases, not fewer. The same study also cited troubling statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing a dramatic increase in hospitalizations and deaths among "fully-vaccinated" individuals between January and May 2021, which rose from 0.01 to nine percent to 0 to 15.1 percent.

The study also called into question the so-called effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.
In addition, studies reveal that the ability of vaccines to prevent COVID infections dramatically declines within six months of the administration. The "immunity" from the shots is not as strong as natural immunity conferred by actual infection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Furthermore, the real-world benefit of these drugs is far lower than what clinical data suggests.
The Israeli Ministry of Health also found that even two doses of the Pfizer vaccines are less than 40 percent "effective" at preventing the disease – a far cry from the 95 percent efficacy that the company claimed in their trial data.
Even the "95 percent efficacy" that Pfizer initially claimed is highly misleading. In April 2021, a study pointed out that the efficacy rate refers to relative risk reduction. However, this is not a useful statistic for those who are trying to make personal medical decisions, as the absolute risk reduction of the vaccine is only 0.8 percent. This means that Pfizer only reduces a person's risk of getting COVID by less than one percent.
The absolute risk reductions for the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccines don't fare much better either at 1.2 percent each.
As the delta variant of the coronavirus spread across the United States, all three vaccines have been found to lose their protective power. A separate study that checked the records of nearly 800,000 veterans found that in early March, before the delta variant was gaining hold across communities, the Pfizer, Moderna and J&J vaccines were roughly equal in "preventing" infections.
But this changed dramatically after six months, as effectiveness fell from 89 percent to 58 percent for the Moderna vaccine, down to 45 percent for the Pfizer vaccine and from 86 percent to only 13 percent for the J&J vaccine.
