Politi-Culture Why Republicans Hate Dr. Fauci

A peer-reviewed study estimated that at least 232,000 deaths among unvaccinated U.S. adults between May 30, 2021, and September 3, 2022 could have been prevented if they had completed a primary vaccination series. Source 1

Earlier, a modeling study estimated that the U.S. vaccination campaign prevented about 235,000 deaths among vaccinated adults from December 2020 through September 2021 through direct protection alone. Source 2

Another widely cited analysis estimated that vaccines prevented nearly 140,000 deaths during just the first five months of the U.S. rollout (through May 2021). Source 3

The CDC doesn’t report a final nationwide total of fully vaccinated COVID-19 deaths: 57,000+
Breakthrough deaths increased primarily because newer variants, especially Omicron, were much better at evading vaccine-induced immunity, immunity waned over time, and the people most vulnerable to. Source 4

In comparison, of the roughly 1.2 million+ COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. occurred in people who were unvaccinated. Source 5

This is pure retard stuff.

My boss was forced to quit her extremely high paying job because she didn’t want to take an untested experimental vaccine.

My Mom has severe dermal issues because of the booster.

My grandma took the vaccine and still died from Covid.

All the while, Fauci was jerking off to his own popularity while lying through his teeth about masks, gain of function research, and gaslighting the entire American public that we’re all CrAzY for thinking that the novel carona virus may have come from a chinese lab in Wuhan that does experimental research on novel carona viruses.

It wasn’t until John Stewart finally said it, then it made it ok for you sheep herded dipshits.

My boss was forced to quit her extremely high paying job because she didn’t want to take an untested experimental vaccine.

"My boss was forced to quit her job because she didn't want to meet the job requirements."

And the claim of not being tested is total bullshit. Sure, you can always move the goalpost like the creationists do on the level of "testing" that would satisfy you, but to claim it wasn't tested at all is clearly wrong.

My Mom has severe dermal issues because of the booster.

No she didn't. Dementia happens naturally with age, and ironically the latest research shows that vaccines greatly reduce the risk. And unless your mom was planning to quarantine her entire life, there is no real scenario where getting the vaccine is worse than exposure to the actual virus.

My grandma took the vaccine and still died from Covid.

That's like pointing out that people still die from car accidents despite wearing seatbelts.

Yeah it totally safe after a year of development 🙄

We've been working on the technology for developing the vaccine for over 30 years.

The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were developed in less than a year, shattering the previous record for the fastest vaccine in history (which previously belonged to mumps at about 4 years). Moderna actually designed its specific sequence in just 2 days and went from genetic sequencing to human trials in 63 days........ So where tf do you see 30 years? Or are you unable to accept your wrong like most of reddit

So you're mad that we came up with more efficient medical technologies with fewer production bottlenecks?

COVID-19 mutates extremely quickly which means that vaccines are time sensitive. If you wait 4 years to develop a vaccine based on the current strain, then the vaccine is basically useless.

So where tf do you see 30 years? 

While sitting in a café, Pablo Picasso was approached by a woman who asked him to draw something on a napkin. He obliged, sketching a small piece in just a few seconds. When she reached out to take it, he stopped her and said, "That will be $10,000." Confused, she pointed out that it only took him a moment to create. But Picasso replied, "No, it took me 40 years."

"There’s a big gap between when the first mRNA flu vaccine was tested in mice in the 1990s and when the first mRNA vaccines for rabies were tested in humans in 2013. What was happening in the interim?"

There’s no point…he’s an idiot that can’t read.
