Actually, we do know it likely would have been mild for them given the data we have. It's strange to give the vaccine credit when it's not warranted. It's a religion.

So true. When my double-vaxxed parents came down with Delta last summer and were sick in bed for 2 weeks, my older sister (an MD), assured me that they only survived because they'd been vaxxed. I countered with, "or they were much sicker than they would've been without it." Of course, we have no way of knowing. It's a study of two, and the important studies to actually test these things with large groups double-blinded will NEVER be done, so the True Believers will keep on believing...

YouтАЩre comment is spot on! I read a few headlines today about fully vaxxed and boosted persons that have tested positive and the articles say exactly what you statedтАжтАЭthankfully they had the booster or it would have been much worseтАЭ. How can anyone say that? No one knows how mild or severe it would have been. This is yet another point that drives me crazy.

I don't fully agree. I just finished Alex's book. One of its messages should be is that the powers that be, especially the media but also government apparatchiks who should have known better, have been incompetent at best, or deliberately lying and deceitful at worst, from the beginning. Alex amply documents statement after statement from them that was probably known to be at best a half-truth, at worst a total lie, even at the time it was made. As you put it: "There is a lot being stated as fact that has no basis in factual evidence." That's a rather serious problem, when it occurs repeatedly in official channels and especially coming from authorities (e.g. scientists who presumably have the same, or better evidence than we have access to), wouldn't you think?

You make such great points.
