Several lines of evidence lead to the conclusion the CDC is greatly overstating the efficacy of the vaccine preventing hospitalizations and deaths:

1.)Data from other countries show the numbers for hospitalizations and deaths are similar for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated, not the 10 to 20 times better for the vaccinated as stated by the CDC.

2.)Two separate JAMA articles show hosp./death rates similar for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated.

3.)CDC only providing "adjusted" numbers, not raw data. The CDC has admitted not providing the actual numbers. Looking at the raw data for the state of Minnesota shows the actual advantage of the vaccinated over the unvaccinated in regards to hosp./deaths much smaller.

4.)The booster can only provide a short-term solution. And with the 4th shot providing even more abbreviated protection, the mRNA vaccines can not be extended to provide additional protection.

VA research spells out COVID's down-the-road risks for cardiovascular and mental health

Two studies catalog severe consequences in "long-haul" COVID

“Those who go on to experience serious chronic consequences—effects that commonly last a lifetime—are the ones who will bear the scars of this pandemic.”

The most menacing fallout from COVID-19 often shows itself only after the initial “acute” infection passes. A team of VA researchers has been shining a light on COVID’s dangerous and enduring consequences—most recently, in research spotlighting heart and blood vessel conditions and mental health disorders that arise weeks or months after the initial COVID bout. The researchers, with the VA St. Louis Health Care System, published their findings on COVID’s post-acute effects on the heart and blood vessels in the Feb. 7, 2022, issue of Nature Medicine, and findings on the chronic effects on mental health in the Feb. 16, 2022, issue of the British Medical Journal.

The research team found that, even in people not needing hospitalization while infected with COVID-19, serious health issues could persist, or pop up, in the weeks and months after the first, acute stage.

The researchers identified cardiovascular consequences including blood clots, strokes, and heart failure, and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and substance use disorders.
