The emerging data confirms what many of us thought would be the case—that not only do the vaccines stop symptomatic COVID, but they also make it highly unlikely that someone can even be infected at all. I think the preponderance of the evidence supports the fact that vaccinated individuals are not able to spread the virus.

Think about that quote above. It’s posted on the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health website. Yet extensive limitations or recommended restrictions remain for vaccinated people, from the Center for Disease Control and many state or local health authorities.
Why? Why are there any remaining restrictions on vaccinated people if they can’t get infected or spread the virus?
Search for an answer and about all you will find are health authorities saying is that vaccinated people still might become infected and thereby put themselves and others at risk. The CDC elaborates a bit, saying they don’t know for how long vaccination immunity lasts or how well vaccines work against new variants of the virus.
Fair enough, except we also know this from the CDC about those “breakthrough cases” — when a vaccinated person gets infected: Out of 84 million fully vaccinated Americans just 6,000 nevertheless later got infected of which 74 died.
That means the chances of getting infected once vaccinated have been about eight thousandths of one percent and the chances of dying are nine hundred-thousandths of one percent. In other word’s the risk is so incomprehensibly small you’d need an electron microscope to see it.
The biggest obstacle now to loosening restrictions, as health authorities see things, is “vaccine hesitancy” — getting the unwilling vaccinated. Yet politicians from President Biden on down go out of their way to wear masks and maintain distancing measures even though they are vaccinated. Biden delivered his address to a half-empty Congress last night like it was of group of suspected lepers — they were all masked and distanced. That’s senseless given their own claims and data about the vaccine.
It’s as if they are trying to confuse the daylights out of America. It’s no wonder much of the country thinks its leadership has some ulterior motive for prolonging the restrictions. It’s no wonder that a large part of America now so distrusts the medical establishment that they’d prefer to rely on their own immune systems over the vaccine.
Here in Illinois, Gov. JB Pritzker announced this week a $60 million spend to combat vaccine hesitancy by educating the public about it.
It will take more than that unless the supposed experts and politicians get their story and conduct straight. They need to stop treating inconsequential risks as material risks. They must state whatever basis they have for the policies they impose coherently, consistently and realistically.

This article was updated to reduce the percentage expression of the breakthrough case numbers by two decimals (not that it matters).
Also, a new study was just published in The Lancet on natural immunity — the rarity of reinfection is very rare (0.2% – 129 people out of 43K). Just one reinfection was severe, two were moderate, and none were critical or fatal. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(21)00141-3/fulltext
Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.
It’s probably because they need to use the vaccinated to demonize the remaining unvaccinated. The way to do that is keep restrictions on the vaccinated and then blame the unvaccinated for why the pandemic restrictions never end. If you allow vaccinated people to return to normal, you forfeit the ability to weaponize them to this end. In addition, they can’t tell vaccinated people they can stop wearing masks and simultaneously have the “deadly variant” narrative. Otherwise they’re admitting that the vaccination works against variants, a perception they cannot allow. As a side note, one reason the deadly variant narrative is… Read more »
The REALLY simple cooties question is why would anyone vaxx with a THERAPHY that alters your genetics in OUTRAGEOUSLY invasive and harmful ways for a condition that is claimed but not proven AND if a true disease causing pathogen has survival rate of 99.976%! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE. Evolutionary brain damage has been amplified by modern communication and no on can see what is real. The vaxxed are the dying and the cooties was an illusion.
If you would bother to read the vaccine makers’ own literature, there was never any statement made by any of them that these vaccines would prevent infection or transmission. You assumed that because media talks around the truth of what these drugs do and do not do.
60% of the new positives I am seeing as a medical facility examiner are from previously vaccinated people.
who cares!?-fake covid numbers,fake covid deaths,but no one in the ” media” ever questions these so called statistics-people have gone to get covid test,got tireds of waiting,went home with no test,then got a positive test result-others that have died from,car accidents,heart attacks,and other causes but had covid gets listed as a covid death?-so keep your fake stats for the main stream media,people with the ability to think outside the box can see right thru this “pandemic” facade
The media is CIA controlled brainwashing. Blue states are communist and they want to take away freedoms. Can’t wait until I retire and leave this shit stained state.
As an aside, it’s a sad comment on where our society is at when this sort of infantile pandering is how adults are reached. (Comments and ratings disabled, naturally)

When you see the actual papers from these mRNA injection companies… They were very clear that these injections were not meant to stop people from catching it or spreading it but to limit symptoms…
I don’t think we can trust any of this data that coming out showing people are immune.
The covid PCR test was a sham set at the high cycle threshold…etc.

That link is from amazing Polly who demonstrated the ties that the CDC World Bank and World economic forum are all connected under front companies… All of this was planned.. the vaccine passports are coming no matter what happens short of a revolution
You can lift all restrictions on those that are fully vaccinated but what will stop those that aren’t vaccinated from saying “I’m vaccinated, I can do as I please.”.
im not vaccinated and i do as i please anyway,all of this overblown b.s. about this so called ” deadly ” pandemic is mostly lies and exagerations,as ive said before,i eat right,work out daily and am generally healthy,been around someone who had covid but i never caught it,so,once more,dont want the vaccine,dont need it,NOT gonna get it!-have a nice day!!
they will be burned at the stake when outed
When a morbidly obese lying fat pig is giving advice/edicts/directives to the peasants it’s best to ignore him. He is no doctor and will die young from obesity.
You loyal Wirepoints readers are slacking off. My percentage expression of the breakthrough risk was initially two decimals too high but nobody caught me on it. It’s fixed now.
I figured I would just rant about it and leave the math to the actuaries.
Liberal “Progressive” Democrat women have always liked to shove it in our faces with regard to abortion that “it’s my body and my choice”. Well to shove it up your……..MY BODY MY CHOICE if I take this “experimental non-FDA approved” drug.
Stuff it Democrats. Stuff it!
It’s almost like Democrats have a hard time understanding or acknowledging human behavior. It’s almost like they’d rather control all of the Deplorables for their own psychopathic desire to control every action and every outcome. It’s almost like every Democrat has traded in the idea of liberty and self-responsibility for the giant nanny of the state that will dictate how to “keep you safe,” at all costs. It’s almost like they see an opportunity to permanently abridge certain policies and freedoms that they have long abhorred, via erosion of what “America” and “liberty” even means in the minds of their… Read more »
And why aren’t the fools in the Democrat party screaming over all those capitalists getting filthy rich over the big pharma vaccines?
No one wanted any other form of cheap drugs that are proven to stop Covid19 but it’s OK to use an “experimental” drug on children and our elderly and our doctors and nurses first?
My God have we lost our minds?
Evidently yes.
It’s a misnomer to call Democrats democrats; they are out and out communists. The communists have infiltrated the Democrat party.
Many are starting to suggest that the flip-flopping on Covid from many learned experts is in part possibly due to what only few have been saying – this isn’t a natural occurring virus, and hence we do not really know what will happen with it so therefore vaccinate everyone. Fauci knows where this thing came from, and the gain of function work that was done in the Chinese lab.
I agree. https://youtu.be/nsPFkGJFxjA
Why isn’t anyone speaking about Francis Boyle and what he says about Covid19?
It’s like Asian Bird flu when Obummer was in office. But since it was the Democrats in charge the economy wasn’t “locked up”, no restrictions, no masks, no social distancing crap happened.
