A new study published this week in the journal Nature Communications, titled \u201cAccelerated evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in free-ranging white-tailed deer.\u201d It had twenty-seven authors.<\/p>\n
We haven\u2019t visited covid\u2019s \u201canimal reservoir\u201d feature for a while. In 2020 and 2021, the phenomenon was a compelling argument against vaccines, because jabs could never end the pandemic by \u201ceradicating\u201d the virus and creating herd immunity.<\/p>\n
Unless you can jab all the deer, the virus will survive in the deer reservoir. And cats, dogs, monkeys, bears, lions, marmosets, and duckbilled platipi, or platypuses, or however you say it.<\/p>\n
Then, after some point in late 2021, they admitted that the mRNA jabs don\u2019t prevent transmission anyway, or even stop people from catching covid, and the experts finally shut up about herd immunity.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the deer are still catching covid. Here\u2019s what the study\u2019s introduction explained:<\/p>\n
We detected that SARS-CoV-2 was introduced from humans into white-tailed deer more than 30 times in Ohio, USA during November 2021-March 2022. Subsequently, deer-to-deer transmission persisted for 2\u20138 months, disseminating across hundreds of kilometers.<\/p>\n
Setting aside the extremely curious question of how, exactly, humans are giving covid to deer \u2014 kissing them? petting zoos? people who identify as deer? \u2014 the study re-raises the original objection. As we continue to sprint after evasive viral variants with ever newer and improved-er vaccines, what precisely do we hope to achieve?<\/p>\n
If we can agree the virus is out now and is never going away, then the only legitimate objective for vaccines is personal risk reduction. And if that is true, there is no justification for mandates, zero, none whatsoever.<\/p>\n
Look at it this way. Let\u2019s say my personal risk of dying from a covid infection is 0.001%. Should all personal risks of 0.001% or greater require government intervention? Obviously not. And don\u2019t tell me it\u2019s about grandma \u2014 the jabs don\u2019t stop transmission. Grandma can get the jab as much as she wants, and if the jabs work, then she should be fine.<\/p>\n
If the jabs don\u2019t work, nobody should take them. Seriously. What is so hard to understand about all this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
