Conspiracists are white.

There are no greater conspiracy theorists than those in a Communist Party. Their entire belief system is based on the belief that capitalism is out to destroy them.



How many white countries are governed by Communists?

Where is the "gender is a social construct" conspiracy?



I think it should be in the red-zone.





Or the conspiracy where we are actually vegans.

I'm not disputing the need for vaccination...but these statistics, as stark as they appear...are utterly invalid.



Fully vaccinated people will be unaware they are carrying...or more likely, less enthusiastic about reporting themselves.



Thus, those numbers simply cannot be relied about to convey any sort of meaning. The more telling data comes from hospital admissions for Covid related disease for people with no pre-existing health conditions.

The gap between vaccinated and unvaccinated is even wider for hospital admissions.

But what does that mean! That is the important question. Citing numbers is just quoting mathematics. The real trick in using statistics is putting meaning to the numbers.

It means that vaccines offer protection from the worst of COVID.

[Bricktop]

And that, as far as I can tell, is ALL it means. And that is still a good thing.



But what it doesn't mean is that vaccines "stop the spread". I've seen no data that supports that assertion.



I'm not suggesting that people should not be vaccinated for their own safety and welfare. I've been vaccinated for that reason.



But today we are told that the EU President is advocating for MANDATORY vaccinations. This is unacceptable and an overreach of government authority.



If governments wish to go down that path, they MUST hold referendums.

And Ceec's stats show some proof they protect people from getting the virus too.

So you have 80 some percent vaxxed, how come the "not vaxxed" stat is so high, if so many of y'all vaxxed, hmmmm?



Cause unless you've seen this happening, you're just spouting numbers you read on a screen.
