Truth is what we make it but facts aren't what we say they are. Or aren't in this csse.

It is not happening. People who get vaccinated do not get sicker.

People who get vaccinated AND STILL have a breakthrough case have fewer and lesser symptoms.

For "sicker" to be true, the hospitals would have to have a majority vaccinated population. Simple observation shows us this isn't the case. the hospitals are filled with the unvaccinated.

So...her statement cannot be a fact.

ooo, I love this one.

quick, scar, using your facts what was the total number of deaths to delta among the vaccinated vs the unvaccinated?

Come back when you have those two numbers and tell me which one is higher.

Why do I love that one? Because it's so wildly dishonest. It's a perfect example of how conservatives form a conclusion and then only accept data that supports that conclusion.

So what's the conclusion? Vaccines are bad. what's the data? a higher percentage of vaccinated people die than unvaccinated.

So, if you go and find the actual report that the first link is talking about.
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1001354/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_17.pdf

The actual numbers are after Feb 1 (as of the writing of that report), the number of 2 dose vaccinated people who tested positive is 4,087. 26 of those people died.

Now let's compare that to unvaccinated. During that same time frame; 35,521 people who were unvaccinated tested positive for the Delta variant and 34 people died.

If you divide the number of deaths by the total number of people who tested positive for the Delta variant and found the rate of death to be 0.000957 for unvaccinated individuals and 0.00636 for those who have been inoculated.

Which is what the blog writers are doing. They're hoping you won't notice the 35,000 people vs the 4,000 people and you'll only look at 0.000957 and 0.00636 They're hoping you won't notice that the unvaccinated are HUGE number compared to the vaccinated. they're comparing 2 numbers that aren't i the same league as each other.

So, just look at the numbers. Who is getting sick more? Who is dying more?

It's clearly not the vaccinated.

The vaccinated are getting sick less by a whooping big amount, and they're dying less.

Like I said, fact. You keep using that word, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.

Yes, because of the infection rate. Unvaxxed: 35,521. Vaxxed, 4087.

Those numbers aren't in the same neighborhood.

But you keep holding on to your pre-formed conclusion, vaccines are bad & don't work, and you're only looking at data that supports that conclusion.

More unvaccinated people get infected than vaccinated people. More unvaccinated people get sicker. More unvaccinated people die.

Those are the facts.

"Actual sources." Ha, ha. See "newsrescue" post above. Then you quote a psychiatrist (?, antivaxxer from New Zealand) who posted a "naturalnews.com" story that quotes a "humansarefree.com" story.

Natural News (formerly NewsTarget, which is now a separate sister site) is a far-right, anti-vaccination conspiracy theory and fake news website known for promoting alternative medicine, pseudoscience, and far-right extremism.

Humansarefree.com is listed as a conspiratorial fake news site on several lists determining such things.

What if I told you that Bigfoot & the alien that lives next door to me told me that vaccines are safe & effective? Would that convince you.

Good lord, use some sense.

"History

Founded in 2007, News Rescue is an anonymously run Nigerian news and opinion website. They completely lack transparency as they do not have an about page, name editors or owners."

Great source there, scar. How about you link their story saying that cancer isn't a disease, it's just a business.

Read this. It'll help you weed out fake news: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10eA5-mCZLSS4MQY5QGb5ewC3VAL6pLkT53V_81ZyitM/preview

Or don't you care, as long as a site says what you want it to say?

In point of FACT, it doesn't: although breakthrough infections in vaccinated people occur, the people who are getting sicker are unvaccinated.

Hmm, so you mean they are in fact spreading the virus?
How long is the immunity from the vaccine supposed to last again?

Their conclusion is that going to bars & restaurants greatly increases your chance of getting covid, because you can't wear a mask while eating & drinking, and because air isn't recirculated. So that's evidence of the effectiveness of masks. Thanks for reinforcing that-you get an upvote. It also has nothing at all to do with anything you've been talking about.

Under the federal Stolen Valor Act of 2005, it is a misdemeanor to impersonate a veteran. I suggest you change your screen name.

because there are more vaxxed people than unvaxxed now. and they have something called breakthrough cases.

what matters are the deaths and 97% of unvaxxed.
