Covid isn't even close to being in the top of the list of causes of death, especially if the accurate numbers are used, which the CDC admitted to. It's not a pandemic, and it's not a reason to infringe on people's rights, period.Let me give you an extreme example. Lets say there was a virus that was far more dangerous than Covid. Let's say the mortality rate was something stupid crazy like 25%. And we had a vaccine that would 100% prevent you from getting that virus.
Are you actually telling me your personal freedom outweighs the survival of the human race? All rights have their limits, hence why we have courts of law to decide those limits.
What's the efficacy of the vaccines that were given 1.5 years ago again? Why is date of vaccination not important in OSHA's mandate? Where's the mandate that you must get a booster if your vaccine is over 6 months old? Anyone who's taken it is supposedly far better protected from death, but that's not the issue behind the OSHA mandate, that's about spreading it, and the vaccines are pretty much worthless for that. So why the mandate on employees who are mostly younger and have no threat from the virus anyway?
COVID Vaccines’ Protection Dropped Sharply Over 6 Months: Study
Nov. 5, 2021 -- The effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines produced by Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson dropped dramatically as the Delta variant swept the United States, a study of almost 800,000 veterans found.
The study, published in the journal Science, says the three vaccines offered about the same protection against the virus in March, when the Delta variant was first detected in the U.S., but that changed 6 months later.
The Moderna two-dose vaccine went from being 89% effective in March to 58% effective in September, according to a story about the study in theLos Angeles Times.
Meanwhile, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine went from being 87% effective to 45% effective over the same time period.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine showed the biggest drop -- from 86% effectiveness to 13% over those 6 months.
“In summary, although vaccination remains protective against SARS-CoV-2 infection, protection waned as the Delta variant emerged in the U.S., and this decline did not differ by age,” the study said.
The three vaccines also lost effectiveness in the ability to protect against death in veterans 65 and over after only 3 months, the Los Angeles Times reported.
