thedcclothesline--2020-12-06--5 Ways Americans Could Be “Encouraged” to Get a Covid Vaccine

As Pfizer and Moderna both rush a vaccine to market to fight the Covid-19 virus , will promises of returning to “ normal ” be enough to persuade people to take the quickly developed injection ?
This article isn ’ t about persuading you one way or the other about whether you should be vaccinated .
That is a matter for you , your family , and your physician to discuss .
It ’ s about the opinions of Americans , the legalities of mandating cooperation , what we know about the vaccine , and the tactics that could be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It ’ s expected that the new coronavirus vaccines will be approved any day now .
Each vaccine is said to require two shots to confer immunity to the virus .
Pfizer requires two doses three weeks apart , and Moderna requires two doses four weeks apart .
About half of Americans are eager to be vaccinated .
According to a poll conducted by Pew Research , 51 % of American adults would immediately get a vaccine if it were available .
That , of course , means that nearly half of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is something that they want to do right now .
This number has decreased from the first time the poll was taken .

While half of the people surveyed want the injection , the other half do not .
And that ’ s where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a choice what medical treatments we undergo ?
Dr. Ron Paul spoke to The Huffington Post back in 2008 and said something as meaningful today as it was a dozen years ago .
Here are some of the immediate side effects .
Yasir Batalvi , a 24-year-old from Boston , volunteered to get the vaccine and received the two doses after signing a 22-page consent form .
He shared his experience with CNN : “ The actual injection felt , at first , just like a flu shot , which is basically just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your arm , ” Batalvi said .
“ Once I left the hospital , that evening , the stiffness got a little bit worse .
It was definitely manageable , but you kind of don ’ t really feel like moving your arm too far above your shoulder .
But the side effects are pretty localized .
I mean , it ’ s just in the muscle in your arm .
And that ’ s about it .
It doesn ’ t really affect anything else and you feel fine.
” That was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ second dose was different .
“ I actually had some pretty significant symptoms after I got the second dose .
Once I got the second dose , I was fine while I was in the hospital .
But that evening was rough .
I mean , I developed a low-grade fever , and fatigue and chills , ” Batalvi said .
He said he was out for that day and evening , but he “ felt ready to go by the next morning.
” He said he called the study doctors to let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weren ’ t alarmed and told him he shouldn ’ t be either .
Feeling under the weather does not mean that you got Covid-19 from the vaccine — in fact , experts say having this kind of reaction shows that your body is responding the way it should , and it should not deter anyone from getting vaccinated or going back for their second dose .
( source Doctors have urged the CDC to be transparent about the fact that the side effects of the vaccine are “ not a walk in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American Medical Association said both Pfizer ’ s and Moderna ’ s Covid-19 vaccines require two doses at varying intervals .
As a practicing physician , she said she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of the potentially unpleasant side effects they may experience after the first shot .

She said she woke up the next day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Moderna may need to tell people to take a day off after a second dose .

Joe Biden has said that the vaccine will not be made mandatory on a federal level .
The thing is , these decisions are usually made on a state level .
Some government officials are already talking about mandating the vaccine .
Virginia State Health Commissioner , Dr. Norman Oliver , is all for mandatory Covid vaccinations .
Despite his health commissioner ’ s enthusiasm , Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has said he is not planning to mandate the vaccine at this time .
The Virginia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ desire to mandate the vaccination .
The New York State Bar has also recommended it be mandatory for residents of the state .
All this being said , there doesn ’ t seem to be a direct plan to pass laws making people take the vaccine .
Can the government actually make people take a vaccine ?
Despite this law being in place , mandating the vaccine will probably not be the first method used by the government .
Will Americans be forced or persuaded ?
So what happens during a pandemic when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are hesitant to take ?
Will we be forcibly immunized against our will ?
It ’ s likely to be a much different approach than a SWAT team breaching your house in the middle of the night , holding down your family members , and stabbing them with syringes .
If a widespread push is made to get people to take this vaccine , it will likely be a case of making life difficult for those who opt-out and more pleasant for those who opt-in .
People are desperate to resume some kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of the campaign for vaccination .
As we move into the second round of lockdowns , folks just want to have holidays with their families .
Millions have been pushed into poverty .
Mental health issues abound from the months of isolation .
It ’ s difficult to connect with others and people want to resume their lives .
And if that ’ s not enough to persuade them to roll up their sleeve for an injection , following are some of the possibilities that have been mentioned to “ encourage ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ becomes available .
Your kids may have to take it to go to school .
Most states already require that children be vaccinated against polio , diphtheria , tetanus , and pertussis , measles , rumps , and rubella , chickenpox , and hepatitis B unless they hold an exemption that is valid in that state .
Exemptions are generally related to medical issues , religious beliefs , or personal philosophy .
It ’ s likely that a mandatory Covid vaccine for children to attend school would vary from state to state .

Private businesses can set their own policies .
Ticketmaster , the purveyor of tickets for concerts , plays , and just about any public event , has already “ been working on a framework for post-pandemic fan safety ” that would use their phones to confirm whether they ’ ve been vaccinated or had a negative test within the past couple of days .
Billboard reports : Here ’ s how it would work , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a concert , fans would need to verify that they have already been vaccinated ( which would provide approximately one year of COVID-19 protection ) or test negative for coronavirus approximately 24 to 72 hours prior to the concert .

If it was a 24-hour window , most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day of the event at a lab or a health clinic .
Once the test was complete , the fan would instruct the lab to deliver the results to their health pass company , like CLEAR or IBM .
If the tests were negative , or the fan was vaccinated , the health pass company would verify the attendee ’ s COVID-19 status to Ticketmaster , which would then issue the fan the credentials needed to access the event .
If a fan tested positive or didn ’ t take a test to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be granted access to the event .
There are still many details to work out , but the goal of the program is for fans to take care of vaccines and testing prior to the concert and not show up hoping to be tested onsite .
Ticketmaster would not store or have access to fans ’ medical records and would only receive verification of whether a fan is cleared to attend an event on a given date .
( source ) This isn ’ t a definite plan but the fact that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idea could spread to sporting events , shopping centers , movie theaters , or any other venue in which people are in close proximity with one another .

Of course, this poll assumes that people will have a choice whether or not to be inoculated.
While half of the people surveyed want the injection, the other half do not. And that’s where the controversy lies – should we have a choice what medical treatments we undergo? Dr. Ron Paul spoke to The Huffington Post back in 2008 and said something as meaningful today as it was a dozen years ago.
“If we accept this notion that the federal government is going to dictate what we can put into our bodies, then it leads to the next step: that the government is going to regulate everything that is supposedly good for us. That’s where they are. They have an FDA that won’t allow somebody who’s dying to use an experimental drug which might speed up the process of finding out which drugs are good and which drugs are bad and the federal government comes in and dictates that they want complete control over vitamins and nutritional products and I just think the whole principal of government telling us what we can take in or not take in is just a dangerous position to take… it’s related to the drug industry because they’d like to control all of this.” (source)
Here are some of the immediate side effects.
Yasir Batalvi, a 24-year-old from Boston, volunteered to get the vaccine and received the two doses after signing a 22-page consent form. He shared his experience with CNN:
“The actual injection felt, at first, just like a flu shot, which is basically just a little pinch in the side of your arm,” Batalvi said. “Once I left the hospital, that evening, the stiffness got a little bit worse. It was definitely manageable, but you kind of don’t really feel like moving your arm too far above your shoulder. But the side effects are pretty localized. I mean, it’s just in the muscle in your arm. And that’s about it. It doesn’t really affect anything else and you feel fine.” That was after the first dose. But the second dose was different. “I actually had some pretty significant symptoms after I got the second dose. Once I got the second dose, I was fine while I was in the hospital.

Doctors have urged the CDC to be transparent about the fact that the side effects of the vaccine are “not a walk in the park.”
Dr. Sandra Fryhofer of the American Medical Association said both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines require two doses at varying intervals. As a practicing physician, she said she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of the potentially unpleasant side effects they may experience after the first shot. “We really need to make patients aware that this is not going to be a walk in the park,” Fryhofer said during a virtual meeting with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, an outside group of medical experts that advise the CDC. She is also a liaison to the committee. “They are going to know they had a vaccine. They are probably not going to feel wonderful. But they’ve got to come back for that second dose… …One North Carolina woman in the Moderna study who is in her 50s said she didn’t experience a fever but suffered a bad migraine that left her drained for a day and unable to focus. She said she woke up the next day feeling better after taking Excedrin but added that Moderna may need to tell people to take a day off after a second dose. “If this proves to work, people are going to have to toughen up,” she said. “The first dose is no big deal. And then the second dose will definitely put you down for the day for sure. … You will need to take a day off after the second dose.” (source)
These are the immediate side effects but only time will tell if there are long-term side effects.
Does the United States intend to mandate the vaccine?
Joe Biden has said that the vaccine will not be made mandatory on a federal level. The thing is, these decisions are usually made on a state level.
Some government officials are already talking about mandating the vaccine. Virginia State Health Commissioner, Dr. Norman Oliver, is all for mandatory Covid vaccinations.
State Health Commissioner Dr. Norman Oliver told 8News on Friday that he plans to mandate coronavirus vaccinations for Virginians once one is made available to the public. Virginia state law gives the Commissioner of Health the authority to mandate immediate immunizations during a public health crisis if a vaccine is available. Health officials say an immunization could be released as early as 2021. Dr. Oliver says that, as long as he is still the Health Commissioner, he intends to mandate the coronavirus vaccine… …Oliver believes that, in the case of COVID-19, public health takes precedent over choice. He said herd immunity is the state’s best defense to stop the spread. (source)
Despite his health commissioner’s enthusiasm, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has said he is not planning to mandate the vaccine at this time.
The Virginia health commissioner is not alone in his desire to mandate the vaccination. The New York State Bar has also recommended it be mandatory for residents of the state.
All this being said, there doesn’t seem to be a direct plan to pass laws making people take the vaccine.
Can the government actually make people take a vaccine?
Actually, yes.
But there is legislative precedent dating back to a U.S. Supreme Court case in 1905 called Jacobson v. Massachusetts that allows the government to mandate vaccinations. In that case, the Supreme Court said that states have under their police powers, which is under the Constitution, the authority to enact reasonable regulations as necessary to protect public health, public safety, and the common good. Vaccination mandates constitute exactly that kind of permissible state action to protect the public’s health. Even though it’s 115 years old, this continues to be the benchmark case on the state’s power to mandate vaccination. In response to the argument about this individual liberty interest, the court said that sometimes individual interests might have to yield to state laws that endeavor to protect the health of everybody—the “common good.” The court said: “The rights of the individual may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint to be enforced by reasonable regulations as the safety of the general public may demand.” So, yes: Once COVID vaccines are available, states could elect to require that people who live within that state be vaccinated.

Despite this law being in place, mandating the vaccine will probably not be the first method used by the government.

If a widespread push is made to get people to take this vaccine, it will likely be a case of making life difficult for those who opt-out and more pleasant for those who opt-in.
People are desperate to resume some kind of normalcy, which will certainly be part of the campaign for vaccination. As we move into the second round of lockdowns, folks just want to have holidays with their families. Millions have been pushed into poverty. Mental health issues abound from the months of isolation. It’s difficult to connect with others and people want to resume their lives.
And if that’s not enough to persuade them to roll up their sleeve for an injection, following are some of the possibilities that have been mentioned to “encourage” Americans to take the vaccine when it becomes available.
Your kids may have to take it to go to school.
Most states already require that children be vaccinated against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, measles, rumps, and rubella, chickenpox, and hepatitis B unless they hold an exemption that is valid in that state. Exemptions are generally related to medical issues, religious beliefs, or personal philosophy.
It’s likely that a mandatory Covid vaccine for children to attend school would vary from state to state. Children have generally not become very ill with this particular virus and have seemed less likely than adults to contract it. (There have, of course, been some exceptions.) To some, that would indicate children did not need to undergo the risk of taking yet another vaccine. Dr. Christine Turley, M.D., Pediatrics Specialist and vice-chair of research at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital believes it could be beneficial.
However, school-bound children could spread the virus to parents, grandparents, and others with underlying health conditions. Vaccinating children could eliminate one major source of coronavirus spread, possibly increasing the effectiveness of herd immunity (source)
And even if your kids are attending school via Zoom, it may not exempt them. I spoke to one parent whose children are engaged in distance learning in Massachusetts. Although they will not be setting foot on school property, they are still required to have proof that they are up to date on all required vaccinations.
Employers could insist that employees be vaccinated.
You could potentially lose your job if you refuse to take a vaccine that your employer has deemed mandatory. Legal and public health expert Joanne Rosen, a senior lecturer in Health Policy and Management and the Center for Law and the Public’s Health, spoke about the topic of mandatory vaccinations with Public Health On Call podcast host Stephanie Desmon.
An employer has to have a “reasonable basis.” If you worked in retail, I’m not sure a corporate entity could require that. They may want you to and recommend it, but it wouldn’t be reasonably related to the requirements of their job. But in sectors in which the employees are themselves at greater risk of contracting vaccine-preventable illnesses or who work with populations that are especially vulnerable if they do get sick, like hospital workers, health care workers, and people who work in [long-term care] facilities, employers have required that their staff be vaccinated against the flu each year. Another thing that states could do, short of a requirement across the board that everybody be vaccinated, is they could begin with a mandate that focuses on those sectors—people who are themselves at greater risk or who work in proximity with vulnerable populations. We don’t want the employees themselves getting sick and being a bridge, or “vector,” to infecting others who are vulnerable. People may object, but some more targeted form of vaccine mandate may make sense and also be possible. (source)
Dorit Reiss, a law professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, told TODAY there were a few exceptions:
Employees who are part of a union may be exempt from the vaccine requirement. Anti-discrimination laws also provide some limits. If you can’t get the vaccine for medical reasons, that could be a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which would require an employer to accommodate you. That could mean requiring you to wear a mask on the job or have limited contact with other people, Reiss said. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 may protect people who have a religious objection to a vaccine. An employer would have to make a reasonable accommodation as long as it’s not too costly for the business. These laws apply only to companies with 15 or more employees, so smaller businesses are exempt. “We think about employers as this huge, amorphous thing, but under the law, they’re also private entities with rights, especially if it’s a small mom and pop shop,” Reiss noted. (source)
Consider how some workplaces require all employees to receive a flu shot – the Covid vaccine could be enforced in a similar manner. Health care workers and those involved in education are most likely to be the first to face such requirements.
Businesses could require patrons to show proof of vaccination.
Even if a state or federal mandate is not in place, privately owned businesses could potentially require patrons to show proof of vaccination before they receive service.
Can airlines, restaurants, stores and stadiums make the vaccine a condition of doing business with you? Yes, within the anti-discrimination laws mentioned above. “They can decide to refuse service to you for pretty much any reason,” Reiss said, pointing out a policy most shoppers are already familiar with: no shirt, no shoes, no service. People who are covered by anti-discrimination laws can’t just demand a business let them do whatever they want. The company just has to give you a reasonable accommodation, so a store might refuse you entry but offer curbside pick-up of groceries. (source)
Private businesses can set their own policies. Ticketmaster, the purveyor of tickets for concerts, plays, and just about any public event, has already “been working on a framework for post-pandemic fan safety” that would use their phones to confirm whether they’ve been vaccinated or had a negative test within the past couple of days. Billboard reports:
Here’s how it would work, if approved: After purchasing a ticket for a concert, fans would need to verify that they have already been vaccinated (which would provide approximately one year of COVID-19 protection) or test negative for coronavirus approximately 24 to 72 hours prior to the concert. The length of coverage a test would provide would be governed by regional health authorities — if attendees of a Friday night concert had to be tested 48 hours in advance, most could start the testing process the day before the event. If it was a 24-hour window, most people would likely be tested the same day of the event at a lab or a health clinic.

If the tests were negative, or the fan was vaccinated, the health pass company would verify the attendee’s COVID-19 status to Ticketmaster, which would then issue the fan the credentials needed to access the event. If a fan tested positive or didn’t take a test to verify their status, they would not be granted access to the event. There are still many details to work out, but the goal of the program is for fans to take care of vaccines and testing prior to the concert and not show up hoping to be tested onsite. Ticketmaster would not store or have access to fans’ medical records and would only receive verification of whether a fan is cleared to attend an event on a given date. (source)
This isn’t a definite plan but the fact that it’s in the works means the idea could spread to sporting events, shopping centers, movie theaters, or any other venue in which people are in close proximity with one another.
Your eligibility for a $1500 stimulus check could depend on it.
U.S. Rep. John Delaney, a Democrat from Maryland who was an “also-ran” in the recent presidential election, thinks that tying the next stimulus check to vaccination is a good idea.
“We have to create, in my judgment, an incentive for people to really accelerate their thinking about taking the vaccine,” Delaney told CNBC, noting that nobody would be forced to participate if they don’t want to.
Delaney said the program would cost about $380 billion, more than the $270 billion the U.S. spent on the $1,200 coronavirus stimulus checks that went out earlier this year.
“So if you can only spend $400 billion, this is what you should spend it on,” Delaney said. (source) Given the US’s rather dismal economic situation, $1500 for taking a couple of free injections would probably be tough to pass up for a lot of folks.
You may not be able to travel without it.
Airlines are preparing to launch a digital “Covid Passport” to try and revive the dying travel industry.
The International Air Transport Association, or IATA, on Monday said it plans to introduce this month a mobile phone app that arriving travelers could use to prove that they’ve been vaccinated for the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 and tested negative for it. Conceivably the app, which IATA is calling The Travel Pass, also could become necessary for domestic flights should airlines begin requiring all their passengers to document their Covid-19 vaccination and testing status. No governments as yet have said they will accept such digital documentation from travelers as a way for them to escape the quarantines currently required by many nations for arriving foreigners… …But IATA, which represents nearly 300 airlines that collectively carry 82% of all air travelers globally, is acting now so that its member carriers can begin ramping up their international operations as Covid-19 vaccines begin being administered, presumably in a matter of weeks. (source)
For people who travel recreationally, this might not be enough inducement to get the vaccine. But for those who have family members in other countries or who travel for work, it could become a necessity.
What should you know about the Covid vaccine?
The Covid vaccine uses new technology called mRNA. The mRNA vaccine sequences are designed to mimic those produced by mammalian cells. Because of this, mRNA vaccines are much faster (and cheaper) to produce than antigen vaccines. The PHG Organization of the University of Cambridge explains:
Conventional vaccines usually contain inactivated disease-causing organisms or proteins made by the pathogen (antigens), which work by mimicking the infectious agent. They stimulate the body’s immune response, so it is primed to respond more rapidly and effectively if exposed to the infectious agent in the future. RNA vaccines use a different approach that takes advantage of the process that cells use to make proteins: cells use DNA as the template to make messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, which are then translated to build proteins. An RNA vaccine consists of an mRNA strand that codes for a disease-specific antigen. Once the mRNA strand in the vaccine is inside the body’s cells, the cells use the genetic information to produce the antigen. This antigen is then displayed on the cell surface, where it is recognised by the immune system. (source)
At this point, there are no licensed mRNA vaccines in the United States. Much of the research on mRNA has been focused on triggering the immune system to target specific cancer cells.
There are innumerable videos and articles about the pros and cons of mRNA vaccinations and I urge you to do your own research when making decisions for your family.
Will you be getting a Covid vaccine?
I’m personally against mandating any type of medical care or procedures. If we don’t control what goes into our own bodies, how can we consider ourselves free human beings? This isn’t to say a particular vaccine or treatment is good or bad. I simply don’t want to be forced or manipulated into making medical decisions. I believe we should all have the right to make our own medical choices.
Approximately half of the Americans surveyed are eager to get a Covid vaccine right away. Others want to wait for a year or so, to see if there are long-term negative side effects. Still others have no interest in the vaccine whatsoever.
What are your thoughts on this vaccine and any possible mandates? Let’s discuss it in the comments.

Here’s another sheriff that understands the lawlessness of tyrants. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said he would not be bullied by California Governor Gavin Newsom’s criminal orders for lockdown.
Tyler Durden has the story.
The sheriff of California’s fourth-largest county has slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom over the most recent COVID-19 lockdown orders, and says that his department won’t be “blackmailed, bullied or used as muscle” against residents during the pandemic, after they were told “there was a potential he would be withholding federal and state funding from counties who did not enforce the orders.”

In a Friday evening video posted to social media (which currently has 4,700 ‘thumbs up’ vs. 141 ‘thumbs down’), Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco called out Newsom’s “dictatorial attitude toward California residents while dining in luxury, traveling, keeping his business open and sending his kids to in-person private schools,” which he called “extremely hypocritical.”
“Ironically, it wasn’t that long ago our same governor loudly and publicly argued how wrong it was for the President of the United States to withhold federal funding from states not complying with federal laws.”
“These closures and stay-at-home orders are flat-out ridiculous. The metrics used for closure are unbelievably faulty and are not representative of true numbers and are disastrous for Riverside County,” Bianco says, adding that Newsom is “expecting us to arrest anyone violating these orders, cite them and take their money, close their businesses, make them stay in their homes, and take away their civil liberties or he will punish all of us.”
Bianco’s advice? Use common sense and “act responsibly” to avoid contracting the virus.
Watch:

Several agencies investigating Facebook
Facebook has been under investigation by the FTC and state attorneys general since last year. The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust released documents this summer from its own probe into Facebook that showed Facebook felt threatened by Instagram’s growth before the controversial sale and that the co-founder of Instagram was worried that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg would “go into destroy mode” should he refuse to sell his company to him.
The subcommittee issued a 449-page report that concluded that Big Tech – specifically Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple – presented a grave threat to markets that could warrant breaking them up and placing limits on their acquisitions.
Google is also facing an antitrust lawsuit from the Department of Justice accusing them of keeping “unlawful monopolies” in their search and advertising businesses. The suit argued for the need to “restrain Google from unlawfully maintaining monopolies in the markets for general search services, search advertising, and general search text advertising in the United States through anticompetitive and exclusionary practices, and to remedy the effects of this conduct.”
Last week, the UK government announced its plans to create a new Digital Markets Unit aimed at scrutinizing platforms like Facebook and Google. The antitrust unit will fall under their Competition and Markets Authority, which has been seeking greater power to rein in the big digital advertising platforms. It plans to enforce a new code that will ensure consumers, news publishers and small businesses are not put at a disadvantage by the tech giants’ actions and practices.
Facebook also taking heat for anti-conservative bias
Facebook’s reputation is also taking a big hit thanks to its ongoing active censorship of conservative points of view. Employees have been caught on hidden camera footage admitting to deliberate political bias and censoring Trump supporters, in addition to discriminating against white male employees and conservatives.
One Facebook employee admitted, “We rig the game so it can work on the left side,” and said the firm favors the left “100%”.
With so many states joining in the suit against Facebook, we can only hope that they will soon be held accountable for all of their practices – and that more people will wake up and abandon the platform altogether.

Americans would do well to research the last time a vaccine was fast-tracked with limited testing. As the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine wrote in its peer-reviewed paper titled The Cutter Incident: How America’s First Polio Vaccine Led to a Growing Vaccine Crisis:
In April 1955 more than 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. Within days there were reports of paralysis and within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be abandoned. Subsequent investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10.
While a vaccine for COVID-19 would certainly be welcomed by many, the idea of rushing this in depth process which normally takes years or decades to complete, could prove to be utterly catastrophic.
“Getting safety issues wrong with a COVID-19 vaccine could set us back for years or even decades,” says vaccine expert Richard Malley, MD.

thedcclothesline--2020-12-06--BOMBSHELL: Johns-Hopkins researcher says CDC data show COVID-19 has NO effect on percentage of death

BOMBSHELL: Johns-Hopkins researcher says CDC data show COVID-19 has NO effect on percentage of death in older people and has NOT increased number of U.S. deaths

( Natural News ) When all is said and done , Americans — and the world — are going to discover that while the COVID-19 virus is real as was the pandemic , virtually nothing we ’ ve been told about the infection morbidity rates has been accurate .
Not even close ; in fact , and this has been borne out by a new analysis of COVID-19 death and regular death rates in the United States using government data .
As of mid-November , according to the most current information , the United States ranked first in coronavirus cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths .
Using those metrics , Genevieve Briand , assistant program director of the Applied Economics master ’ s degree program at Johns-Hopkins , “ critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) in her webinar titled ‘ COVID-19 Deaths : A Look at U.S. Data , ’ ” according to the institution ’ s November 26 newsletter , which is archived here .
According to the data Briand accessed , between mid-March and mid-September , total deaths in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which 200,000 — some 12 percent —are COVID-19-related .
take our poll - story continues below But rather than look only at those deaths , Briand concentrated on the total number of deaths per age group and per cause of death and then used that data to gauge the overall effects of the virus .
“ She explained that the significance of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths can be fully understood only through comparison to the number of total deaths in the United States , ” the newsletter stated .
The findings were stunning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to hear in the ‘ mainstream ’ shutdown media : After retrieving data on the CDC website , Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September , which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared .
Surprisingly , the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19 .
Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly , experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups .
However @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the CDC data .
In fact , the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same .
“ The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals , ” Briand noted .
She went on to note that between 50,000 to 70,000 deaths are seen before and after COVID-19 came to the U.S. , which indicates the number of deaths was normal long before the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ not only has COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people , but it also has not increased the total number of deaths , ” period , the newsletter states .
( Related : Maryland governor expands snitch line , says there is “ no constitutional right ” to refuse wearing masks . )
“ This comes as a shock to many people .
How is it that the data lie so far from our perception ?
” the newsletter asks .
To answer , the researcher changed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 2020 .
She found that yes , there is a sudden increase in deaths in 2020 due to the virus , and that ’ s not surprising in and of itself .
But , she adds , she discovered there are seasonal rises in death rates from various causes , including the top three : Heart disease , influence , and pneumonia ( ‘ the flu season ’ ) .
It ’ s interesting to note that the coronavirus also mostly affects people with heart problems as a co-morbidity .
“ This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the U.S. when we observe the seasonal ups and downs , we have an increase of deaths due to all causes , ” she said .
“ All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths .
Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers .
We found no evidence to the contrary , ” she concluded .
Again , we ’ re certain you ’ re not going to read this in the New York Times or hear about it on the mainstream ‘ nightly news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the left ’ s fear porn narrative that we have to keep everything shut down and Americans quarantined because COVID is a ‘ planet killer.

After retrieving data on the CDC website, Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September, which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared.
Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.
“The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals,” Briand noted.
She went on to note that between 50,000 to 70,000 deaths are seen before and after COVID-19 came to the U.S., which indicates the number of deaths was normal long before the pandemic. So, Briand noted, “not only has COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people, but it also has not increased the total number of deaths,” period, the newsletter states. (Related: Maryland governor expands snitch line, says there is “no constitutional right” to refuse wearing masks.)
“This comes as a shock to many people. How is it that the data lie so far from our perception?” the newsletter asks.
To answer, the researcher changed focus to via various causes between 2014 and 2020.
She found that yes, there is a sudden increase in deaths in 2020 due to the virus, and that’s not surprising in and of itself. But, she adds, she discovered there are seasonal rises in death rates from various causes, including the top three: Heart disease, influence, and pneumonia (‘the flu season’).
It’s interesting to note that the coronavirus also mostly affects people with heart problems as a co-morbidity.
“This is true every year. Every year in the U.S. when we observe the seasonal ups and downs, we have an increase of deaths due to all causes,” she said.

“All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. We found no evidence to the contrary,” she concluded.
Again, we’re certain you’re not going to read this in the New York Times or hear about it on the mainstream ‘nightly news’ because that would run counter to the left’s fear porn narrative that we have to keep everything shut down and Americans quarantined because COVID is a ‘planet killer.’

The Amistad Project has also filed litigation in several key swing states, arguing that illegal actions on the part of state and local officials led to more than 1.2 million potentially fraudulent ballots. “Through rigorous investigations supporting our litigation, we demonstrate that state and local officials brazenly violated election laws in several swing states in order to advance a partisan political agenda,” said Phill Kline, director of The Amistad Project, in a statement. “As a result, it is impossible for those states to determine their presidential electors in line with the arbitrary deadline set forth via federal statute in 1948, and thus, the only deadline that matters is Jan. 20, 2021.”
