The Maine Opinion

10/29/2021

As vaccines continue to fail and more and more studies come out that show that vaccinated people can acquire and transmit the virus, the more we keep hearing but it reduces the severity.

First off, there is zero proof of that. It's impossible to know that, because if a vaccinate person gets Covid, there is no way to know what the severity WOULD have been if not vaccinated.

I'm not vaccinated and I had a mild case. I can easily say that it would have been worse had I been vaccinated. Prove me wrong. You can't. We need to stop letting them get away with this lie.

Second, how would we tell if it is reducing the severity? Lets look at data in Maine. As of 10/28 there have been 103k confirmed or probable cases and 2773 hospitalizations which I would consider a severe case. So that's 2.7%. Now of course that assumes no other cases in Maine that were never confirmed or listed as a probable, case like mine or other largely asymptomatic people. We know that there have been far more people that have had it in Maine so that reduces the 2.7% lower.

It also assumes that all 2700 people were there because of Covid when we know many were there for something else.

But lets take the 2.7% number which is what it was before vaccines as well. So out of 100 unvaccinated people, 3 might have a severe case. Out of 100 vaccinated people, best case is that you have 1 or 2 out of 100 instead.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Ben Shapiro, but feelings trump facts when it comes to covid-19.

Reluctant to set the public free, policymakers and the public-health bureaucracy set unachievable and unnecessary goals.

In Maine, based on the Case Fatality Rate which we can all agree is much higher than the Infection Fatality Rate (due to overcounting deaths and not testing every case) you have the following chance of survival.

Under 20- 99.994%- statistically zero
20's- 99.98%
30's- 99.984%
40's- 99.846%
50's- 99.488%
60's- 98.54%
70's- 94.382%
80' plus- 84.762%

Under 50, it is 99.96%
Under 60, it is 99.88%
Under 70- 99.66%

There is no better reason to practice focused protection. Stop worrying about kids and vaccinating young people. Vaccinate the elderly and provide them with data and services to keep them isolated, if they want to be. Let the rest, live their lives.

Masks are political theater. Have been from day one. The fact that we would play with kids lives for politics is disgusting

The educational cost of face coverings is far better established than the benefits of mandates.

We have to look at the data and think about this critically. Panic and fear have lead us down the wrong path.

As countries focus the discussion on mandatory vaccination, PANDA is increasingly aware of the elephants in the room, the topics no one is talking about.

In Maine, if you are under 50, the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is .045% or put differently 99.95% of Mainers under 50 have survived Covid and now have natural immunity.

Even the .045% number is inflated since it assumes that all 20 deaths under 50 were of Covid and we know that most, if not all, of them had major underlying conditions that lead to their deaths.

It also assumes that no one under 50 had Covid but never got tested (like me). We can assume that there may be twice as many people that contracted Covid but had no or minor symptoms and were never tested. So the CFR is actually lower.

For this, the largest hospital system in the state will mandate vaccines for their employees, many under 50. Schools will most likely require masks again. We've lost our minds over what is frankly a mild disease for most of the population.

CFR for under 60 is .123% so 99.87% survived.
CFR under 70 is .344% so 99.65% survived

This is a disease that is dangerous to the elderly who have had the opportunity to be vaccinated since January, it makes no sense to continue to try and manage people's lives that are at low risk.

We all knew this was coming. In order to justify the forced vaccination of children, the powers that be would somehow have to overturn 15 months of observations that COVID is less a threat to children than the flu and that unvaccinated children are less at risk than vaccinated adults (100 times less...
