Vaccine Ineffectiveness
1 Vaccine Ineffectiveness
Recent research from the Cleveland Clinic shows your risk of contracting COVID-19 goes up with the number of vaccines you receive.
"The risk of COVID-19 also increased with time since the most recent prior COVID-19 episode and with the number of vaccine doses previously received."

Vaccinated Remain Vulnerable:
2021 July 8: "Covid cases in England are THIRTEEN times higher in young people compared to over-60s in more proof of 'vaccine effect' and infections rose in every town except three last week, official figures show"
Vaccinated can still get and spread the virus or variants: "The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant and its sublineages can cause high viral loads, are highly transmissible, and contain mutations that confer partial immune escape"
"68% of individuals infected despite vaccination tested positive with Ct <25, including at least 8 who were asymptomatic at the time of testing. Our data substantiate the idea that vaccinated individuals who become infected with the Delta variant may have the potential to transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others."

"At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days. In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days."

"In this study, 11 participants exhibit S1 antigen in plasma after the first injection, whereas nucleocapsid concentrations are insignificant in all participants, confirming that the detected S1 originates from vaccination and not natural infection. The presence of S1 is likely due to the nature of the encoded mRNA-1273 spike protein, which contains a cleavable S1–S2 site and enables release of S1 from the spike trimer [2]. We hypothesize that release of S1 protein could result from cleavage via mammalian cell proteases or circulating proteases. "
