Also funny how when the truth smacks them upside the head they double down on stupid somewhere else but won't comment on the real issue pointed out. They just go silent and don't respond...because they can't answer.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cycolac: Since when did 'really hopeful' become a scientific qualification? Or are we not following THE SCIENCETM anymore? Regardless of whether it lasts for a long time or not, it's effective today. Everything about this pandemic is about buying time. Time gives us more treatment options and apparently a milder disease, if our luck with omicron being milder holds up. I think the government is being forced to accept the reality that COVID can't be stopped and that the real mission is to transition to a population with sufficient resistance to avoid severe disease, and to do that with the minimum amount of deaths and serious complications balanced with the minimum disruption to the economy and balanced with a need to keep hospitals open for people with other health issues. As such vaccines are a great tool of used correctly: vaccinate people to reduce the overall severity of the disease, and having done that end all the restrictions and mandates and accept that everyone will get sick , but with much less harm because the vaccinations upped everyone's odds. The vaccines did a great job of delaying the current spike until today. It took COVID-19 a year to defeat vaccine immunity and we put the year to good use. Now we have paxlovid, molnupiravir, monoclonals, dexamethasone, home rapid tests, a better understanding of oxygen protocols and a weaker virus. Time gave us much better options. |

This is the only reason many got the jab, was to return to normal. Look how that turned out, are Shitshow schools open today..yes or no question?.  ...they had "BREAK THROUGH" cases where they had to start reporting on it in July. I will not argue that it might have helped in the beginning but your defeat line is pure BS.Yeah like treating people the day they get sick instead of a note...call us if you can't breath. |

Do you realize the irony of posting this last sentence in a post about moving the goal posts? Vaccines delayed the current spike? Maybe CAUSED the current spike being leaky and not all that good. Since the current variant is relatively harmless, it is a good thing. It is actually the best possible thing that could happen. A relatively harmless, very contagious variant, that will hopefully provide some degree of immunity to the vaxxed and unvaxxed alike. There is no “moving goal posts” in that. Rather considering new information that did not exist (and an entire new variant that did not exist). Intelligent people consider new information and adapt their response to it, rather than dig in their heels based on outdated information that is no longer relevant. Much of what is considered “moving goal posts” is simply adapting to and adjusting for new information in a fast moving dynamic situation. Folks are so desperate to find a conspiracy in all of this that they are ignoring the fact that people learn and adapt their approaches as situations unfold. Particularly in the case of a novel virus. |

For the OP, not sure if it was noted but maybe some charts of when countries like Gibraltar got fully vaxxed and then the infection rate. They were the first but a few others hit that 98% mark and had some "weird" reports on it being safe and especially the effective part.

Then why the mandates still, is that not a "movable goal post" (I hope the game we are playing is at Lombardi field around 1977)? The jab does little to nothing but yet here we are. I am not even including people under the age of 30 but especially anyone under 18 (aka kids) because anyone that thinks this is a smart move is retarded. |

Governments always want to do “something” even when nothing is better. Look at the call for gun control after every school shooting. Hell, look at the bump stock ban. That accomplished absolutely nothing. But they were seen to do “something”. |

I will not argue that it might have helped in the beginning but your defeat line is pure BS.Yeah like treating people the day they get sick instead of a note...call us if you can't breath. Two different questions here: 1. Did the vaccine in practice reduce risk sufficient that rational people would go back to life as normal - YES 2. Did the government adopt sensible, data driven policies based on that reduction in risk - HELL NO |

Time gives us more treatment options and apparently a milder disease, if our luck with omicron being milder holds up. I think the government is being forced to accept the reality that COVID can't be stopped and that the real mission is to transition to a population with sufficient resistance to avoid severe disease, and to do that with the minimum amount of deaths and serious complications balanced with the minimum disruption to the economy and balanced with a need to keep hospitals open for people with other health issues. As such vaccines are a great tool of used correctly: vaccinate people to reduce the overall severity of the disease, and having done that end all the restrictions and mandates and accept that everyone will get sick , but with much less harm because the vaccinations upped everyone's odds. The vaccines did a great job of delaying the current spike until today. It took COVID-19 a year to defeat vaccine immunity and we put the year to good use. Now we have paxlovid, molnupiravir, monoclonals, dexamethasone, home rapid tests, a better understanding of oxygen protocols and a weaker virus. Time gave us much better options. I can’t tell if you’re sad enough to actually believe posts like this or if you’re pushing an agenda for someone. |

 Attached FileI remember this. This "couldn't be happening" because "it stays in the shoulder". My how that claim aged like milk. Pfizer's brochure is the literal word of God dontchaknow.  Heh, remember when we asked them to show their work, and they wanted us to wait 55 years? And some people are dumb enough to excusify that on Pfizer's behalf? Remember when this badboy leaked out, and we were told via verbal sleight of hand that literally none of these were going to happen to anyone?   Attached FileJust a reminder and a request from OP: - Do not respond to the bait posters, please. - Instead, post your favorite goalpost move. - We're going to run "time of possession" offense on them, akin to a team with a power-running game, pushing around an undersized defensive line. They cannot stop us, they are in the wrong on almost all matters, and on the topic of shifting goalposts, most so. Run it down their throat.  They've looked progressively sillier, as the clownsuits they've been wearing since March get dramatically more elaborate every few weeks. |

 Attached FileFound it! I was looking for this one. This is back when breakthrough infections were NOT going to be a thing, to suggest it even could be a normal thing? Literally MisinformationTM to wonder out loud if the vaccines were leaky, with the NY Yankees getting it anyway, Bill Maher getting it anyway, etc etc. Misinformation to be right, because after all the Science Was DoneTM and they simply knew everything! They even said so. They were so correct that an opposition scientist correctly predicting the future, could have his reputation ruined for contradicting the Version 1.0 claim.  Attached FileRemember that ^ "Wasn't proof of anything", and, it wasn't going to happen in the United States, because, it simply wasn't. Remember the vaccine brochure memorizer battalion walked in wearing the latest standard issue clown suits and told us - that data was simply fake. It wasn't real. It couldn't be! Breakthrough Infections Are RareTM so said The StudiesTM.

Nope, the shots were never effective and they were never going to end the pandemic or buy time. They have been a dismal failure from the beginning and was the worst possible path from a public health perspective. The harmful experimental gene therapy shots never blunted the spike anywhere. We've had effective treatments available since the beginning and instead of rolling them out nationwide, our corrupt public "health" officials colluded with big pharma to bilk billions of dollars out of the taxpayers on an ineffective and dangerous set of compounds that could never have stemmed the tide of the pandemic. It's a criminal disgrace. |
