A sorry and disturbing list of preventable deaths.

 

As many will know I’m very much pro-vaccine. I’ve seen horrible diseases that once haunted my parent’s generation consigned to the history books because of vaccination. My own son will not face the diseases, such as Polio, Smallpox and Diptheria that my own generation saw the tail end of and which have been vanquished by vaccination.

I knew from the beginning of the Covid crisis that the only way out of it would be via vaccination and despite initial worries and concerns about the covid vaccines, stoked in part by those whom I once trusted but now do not, I decided to get vaccinated myself after looking at more credible scientific information. Having looked at the positive impact that covid vaccination has brought I terms of protection from serious disease I would recommend covid vaccination for all those who are medically able to receive it.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who have listened not to scientists and medics and experts in epidemiology with regards to covid vaccines but instead have listened to various woo peddlers such as David Icke, Delories Cahill, Mike Yeadon and a host of others. Along with these woo peddlers such as Icke etc there have also been religious leaders who have told their followers to trust not in the scientists and vaccine creators but instead to only listen to their warped and sometimes Satan obsessed misinterpretations of scripture and to trust prayer alone as a defence against Covid. These woo peddlers and religious leaders who have sown fear, uncertainty and doubt about covid vaccinations have caused people to turn down the opportunity to be vaccinated against Covid and by doing so have caused a growing number of unnecessary and preventable deaths among those who have chosen to not be vaccinated against Covid.

There is a website that is chronicling the deaths of anti vaccine types called Sorry Anti Vaxxer and it is one that I read regularly and too often weep at when I do. This site gives us the stories of a growing number of anti vaxxers who contracted Covid due to not being vaccinated against it and who more often than not die because of their decision to follow various loonspuds and deluded religious leaders and not get vaccinated.

If you are at all uncertain about getting vaccinated against Covid then go and take a look at the Sorry Anti Vaxxer site. There you will find numerous horrific and tragic tales of deaths that could have been prevented and children who have been orphaned because people chose to listen to misinformation about vaccines rather than go and find out the truth about them. I must admit that I don’t like many of the below the line comments on the stories as they are far too gleeful about the deaths of anti vaxxers for my liking. We should have some degree of sympathy for those who made a grossly wrong decision for both themselves and their families by deciding not to be vaccinated. Where we should be harsh are with regards to those who push vaccine misinformation for their own political and financial ends. The ordinary vaccine refuser or vaccine hesitant person who is not leading or promoting this fact free movement are to a large extent victims of those who are pushing anti vaccination narratives. The list of deaths contained in Sorry Anti Vaxxer are a litany of deaths that have been directly caused by Icke, Yeadon, Cahill and others who promote vaccine hesitancy.

As for those who are exploiting religious teachings, mostly Christian religious leaders it needs to be said, who promote vaccine refusal, then they are wicked beyond belief. They are not ‘choosing life’ for their congregations and followers, they are instead condemning them to a horrible death at worst and long term sickness at best. The Jewish Talmud states that ‘he who saves one life saves the world entire’ but these Christian preachers who are promoting vaccine refusal are the polar opposite of that teaching. They are taking lives and condemning the world. It is my view that the scientists who have created the Covid vaccines and who have worked for thirty years to make mRNA vaccines a practical possibility are not just saving one life but saving the entire world. It’s OK in my view to pray for miracles, but sometimes a person needs to recognise that a miracle is not just a major unexplainable event such as the parting of the Sea of Reeds, sometimes a miracle can also be a scientific development such as a vaccine. So don’t be a statistic for the cynical to laugh at, recognise the miracle of vaccination and get immunised against all those diseases, not just Covid, that kill or maim.

  1. There should be an account about people who are pro Islam and then die on account of Islam

  2. I think that you are being dishonest in conflating those who have doubts about the Covid vaccine with anti vaxers generally. The Covid vaccines are only partly effective and are also subject to the limitations caused by the tendency for RNA viruses to mutate. They may be helpful but may also carry unknown risks. Younger people who do not have any health problems are at minimal risk from Covid and have to balance that risk against potential risks from getting the jab. This is very different from people who oppose vaccines that have been proven to be safe over decades and are close to 100% effective. The Covid vaccines also differ in that they protect the vaccinated person and that person only. The vaccine reduces symptoms, it does not prevent the individual from contracting or passing on the illness. So why are the government now telling us that we have a public duty to get vaccinated to protect our neighbours? I have been vaccinated but I fully respect those who took the decision not to.

      I don’t think that I’m being dishonest in conflating doubters and hard core anti vaxxers. At one point there was a justifiable reason to be a doubter,I was one myself. However I studied the history of mRNA vaccines and realised that my doubts were false ones. Those who are refusing vaccination now, when there is a vast amount of accurate and credible information out there about them are either hard core anti vaxxers or those who’ve been duped by them. Sadly although there are very few hard core anti vaxxers there’s a lot of people out there, especially in the USA where there is very polarised politics, who are being duped by those who are pushing inaccurate information about covid vaccines. Those who have been duped are I’m afraid the victims of those with agendas.

      Because covid vaccines can protect against transmission but mostly protect the vaccinated there is a greater need to get as many people vaccinated as possible in order to both slow down transmission and protect as many individuals as possible. We can see what is happening in some US states where vaccination levels are worryingly low how covid is spreading like wildfire. It’s quite possible that we won’t see the final end of covid until child safe vaccines are developed that can be administered along with other general vaccinations but they won’t be ready for another year or two.

  3. These Covid vaccines do not provide immunity to anything. In a best-case scenario, it merely reduces the chance of getting a severe case of a virus if one catches it. Hence, it is a medical treatment, not a vaccine.
    To obtain approval for a vaccine to be used several steps must have been taken to see if the vaccine is safe and effective.
    a) Tests on animals. If successful then…
    b) Phase I, small groups of young, healthy people receive the trial vaccine.
    c) Phase II, the clinical study is expanded and vaccine is given to people who have characteristics (such as age and physical health) similar to those for whom the new vaccine is intended.
    d) Phase III, the vaccine is given to thousands of people and tested for efficacy and safety over several years. These are of the ‘Double Blind’ variety where about half the subjects are given the ‘vaccine’ and the rest a placebo.
    None of these vaccines have completed this protocol. None of these vaccines have the approval by any competent health authority. They have been given emergency permission to be used and the companies have even been given freedom of the liability of prosecution if things go wrong.
    In the past 12 months, dramatic shifts in mainstream attitudes to public health have moved us closer to compulsory medication. The rights of the individual to assess risk and prioritise the quality of their own life has not only been forgotten — it has been scoffed at and derided, as though it never existed in the first place. The precedent set by the smallest step towards this broken philosophy is incredibly dangerous. Do we have the right of ownership of our bodies — indeed, our self, our soul, and our identities? Or did we, unknown to us, bequeath that ownership to the state? Some may argue that vaccine passports are the first step towards eradicating a disease. Rather, to me, they are the first step towards the eradication of basic human rights.
    In Angleterre we have the adage, “Prevention is better than Cure”.
    I can reduce my chances of getting a severe case of this virus by strengthening my immune system naturally, by taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D3and Zinc. In the event I catch a virus, there are other vitamins and well-established drugs that have had wonderful results in warding off the illness, without the risks and unknown problems of a ‘vaccine’ or a medical treatment.
    The government insists that this medical treatment is safe. They cannot possibly know this because the long-term effects are entirely unknown, and will not be available for many years as Phase 3 tests will not be complete until 2023 or 2024. They may speculate that it is safe, but it is disingenuous for them to make such a claim that cannot possibly be known. Because they are being disingenuous, I do not trust them, and I want no part of their treatment.
    The drug companies have no liability if anything goes wrong, and cannot be sued. It is the same for the politicians who are pushing this treatment. I will not be injected with a new, experimental medical product when the people behind it accept no liability or responsibility if something goes wrong. I will not risk my health and my life whilst they refuse to risk anything.
    This is the greatest medical experiment in the history of the human race.

      First of all the covid vaccines are providing immunity. It may not be the 100% sterilising immunity that some would want but they are providing immunity. They are also helping to prevent serious sickness and are acting as all vaccines do which is stopping people from contracting serious illness. I completely disagree with you on several points. The first is your claim that the covid vaccines are not vaccines. The covid vaccines are preventing serious illness by teaching the body to recognise the invader. By doing that they are indeed vaccines.

      Vaccine manufacturers have routinely been given immunity for decades in the United States because all claims, whether justified or not justified of ‘vaccine injury’ are dealt with by a Vaccine Court that operates to a lower standard of proof than the other civil courts. The reason for this being done was to protect the USA vaccine industry from frivolous claims that tied up pharma companies lawyers and threatened to make vaccine manufacture so unprofitable that the US was in danger of losing its vaccine industry. The frivolous claims and the subsequent threat of a loss of vaccine production on US soil was a strategic danger and the US created the vaccine court to stop that strategic danger.

      The covid vaccines are no longer experimental. Enough vaccines have been given to ascertain whether any problems would occur. It’s highly unlikely that there will be long term issues as any vaccine related health issues show up very quickly indeed.

      Whilst I concur that judicious use of supplements is useful to those whose diets are a bit lacking, supplements cannot take the place of a vaccine when it comes to preventing a preventable disease. I’m afraid that you reveal your allegience with the anti vaccination lot by your use of scare quotes around the word vaccines. If you are going to promote anti vaccination guff it helps not to use the sort of tactics that reveal yourself to be in league with those who are not just against covid vaccines but all vaccines. Like it or not the covid vaccines have been remarkably successful in reducing serious illness in those who come into contact with covid.

      Secondly all the currently approved vaccines have gone through all the necessary trials including stages one two and three. They are no way ‘experimental’ and the technology that is behind them has been worked on for at least thirty years but it was only in recent years that the problems in stopping the body destroying the vaccines mRNA has been solved. Of course these vaccines are being monitored as are any other drug or medical treatment. What I’m seeing is a vaccine that has remarkably few serious ill effects when you take into account that millions of doses have already been given.

      Whilst like many others I’m concerned that vaccine certification could be used by unscrupulous governments to oppress the citizen I also recognise that in many countries there is already and has been for years a system of compulsory or near compulsory vaccination for diseases such as polio etc. It is the rare parent in Britain who would refuse a series of childhood vaccines for their child, since I’ve been a parent I’ve only met one and the last I heard of her she was being berated by other parents for being a bloody idiot for her stance. In the UK it’s not the government that compels parents to vaccinate their children, other parents and peer groups do that. Personally if I was running a nursery which took newborns through to pre schoolers I would refuse entry to any anti vaccination parent or their child. I take this view because such a nursery would have in it both kids who might be carrying diseases unknowingly despite being vaccinated mixed in with babies who are too young to be vaccinated.
