A Challange to the Anti--Vax Crowd

 By the Numbers

I have a challenge for the anti-vaxers. Convince me you are right. There must be a reason you are so passionate about not adequately protecting yourself and family.

I have heard very many of your complaints, and the problem is, that so many of them are deliberately fabricated lies that you are telling yourselves, and you believe them.

So think about this, if your side is publishing lie after obviously proven lie, then why do you think you have any credibility at all?

I would really be interested in hearing any validation of your opinion.

I'm am going to provide a few examples here.

Recently, an anti-vax comment was posted on a local neighborhood forum. "Benner Road". This forum is designed for local neighborhood issues like, lost pets or school issues. The comment was in regard to school board decisions on masking the student body vice going back to virtual learning. And it read something like, "My boyfriend from Trinidad got the vaccine and his testicles got swollen and now he is sterile, and that is why she isn't getting the vaccine."

My thought's were, that is interesting, someone in "Benner Road" has a friend in Trinidad. Now Benner Road is in suburban Pennsylvania, and has 220 subscribers. What are the odds that any of them have any contact with someone in Trinidad, a small island off the coast of South America? Let alone be friends with possibly the only person on the planet that suffered swollen testicles after getting the vaccine?

But you know, I don't know this person, it could be true. But it wasn't worth my time to comment.

Then 3 days later I hear a joking reference on BBC4 about a rap artist, Nicki Minaj, making the claim that her cousins wedding was canceled because her fiance from Trinidad suffered swollen testicles after getting the vaccine? OK, now what are the odds? There couldn't be two men from Trinidad with this problem. World wide, about 1.5 billion men have received the vaccine, and the only two men that reported this issue live in the same small country of 1.4 million? Not impossible but...

And one of them is friends with someone that lives within a quarter mile of me? This is defying credulity. Obviously one is just lying that "they know someone." And, as it turns out, they are both lying. As declared by Trinidad and Tobago Health Minister, Terrence Deyalsing. He declared that checking on this claim was a large waste of his departments time that could have been better spent elsewhere.

Then there was this deliberately created fabrication. Bill Gates is a fanatic on vaccines of all types, and his foundation has put serious money into things like vaccines for malaria. The anti-vax crowd has openly attacked him by declaring that this elitist is trying to save the planet by reducing the human population to a manageable level, and the Covid vaccine is part of the plan. To support that position, they published this photo.

They really rely on no-one checking on these things. 

What is actually said on the wall is literally, ENGRAVED IN STONE.

So if you tell me a more lies, why should I believe you?  More to the point, why are you believing them?

I have had as evidence presented to me that masks do not provide protection which had headlines stating they do not work, but if you actually read the article, their results show that masks do work. Or they are on articles that not about masks at all. One anti masker provided a list of 40 such studies. None actually supported their position.

Then there are those that state that masks are harmful. In Japan, mask wearing is the primary source of preventing infection. They wear them everywhere. Are we saying that the Americans more frail than the Japanese? 

And in Japan, which doesn't have a major pharmaceutical industry, had to wait 3-4 months before the vaccine was available to them. They fought the virus with social distancing and masks. The result? With 1/3 the population of the US, concentrated 10 times as many people per sq mile, 1/40th the infections and deaths. Social distancing and masks. Proof they work.

Then we have the latest surge in Covid. In every hospital the unvaccinated outnumber the vaccinated by 19-1 for Covid treatments. And yet, the unvaccinated are insisting that Ivermectin will save them. What is this based on? There has been over 50 studies on Ivermectin that showed no efficacy, but a single study from Egypt says it did. So which study does the anti-vaxers chose to believe, and repeat? Even if that study is accurate, does improving your survival rate 2-1 once you have Covid somehow better than 19-1 of not getting hospitalized to begin with?

When radio personality Bob Enyart,  KLTT-AM, Denver, claimed vaccine was developed using aborted fetal cells, where is his evidence?  Why should I believe anything else he said? FYI, he succumbed to Covid Sept 12.

The Covid deniers claim C-19 is just like the flu.  But when did the flu kill 500,000 Americans in a single year?  The answer is, the Spanish flu of 1918-1919.  Total US deaths 670,000, current Covid deaths 720,000, and as of Sept, 2021, growing about 1,500 daily.

Covid deniers constantly mock news sources MSN and CNN as fake news.  Are you trying to tell me the hospitals are not full of Covid victims?  We all know people that have died of Covid.  My personal count is 11 infected, 2 dead, 2 "long haulers", 4 had a rough go of it.  How is MSN and CNN even in this narrative?  And for the record, the last time I had on CNN was during the Jan 6 insurrection.  And MSN not at all.

How about 5G network causing the virus, promoted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of the Disinformation Dozen?

 Covid vaccines have micochips and causes infertility.  Where is the proof?  

So please, what is the real reason for your vaccine refusal?  Bear in mind, my goal is to keep you and yours alive and healthy, stop this pandemic, so we can all go about our lives.
