Of those new cases, 99 percent of the individuals who were infected did not receive an XBB shot, which has been available in Taiwan since Sept. 26, the CDC said.
Likewise, of the 37 COVID-19 fatalities recorded last week – up 16 percent week on week – only one individual had received an XBB vaccine, it said.
I’d be curious to know if those numbers reflect the vaccination rate. AFAIK Taiwanese people, like pretty much everyone on the planet, are done with “boosters”. Almost everyone except Taiwan’s CDC acknowledges that they’re of no clinical value (and are more than likely harmful). If, as seems likely, only a handful of every hundred have even taken their magic potion (it’s something like 3% in the West) then their quoted numbers are congruent with the hypothesis that the vaccine are virtually useless.
On a similar theme, I’m surprised how little discussion there has been about a few recent revelations, namely:
Pfizer never tested the output of their mass-production vaccine process, at all, before sending it out there to billions of people.
Several researchers have confirmed the presence of plasmid DNA residue from the production process, the effects of which are (by definition) unknown … because Pfizer didn’t bother testing.
Likewise, several researchers have confirmed that the pseudouridine substitution - which was hailed as a game-changer deserving of a Nobel prize - disrupts the expected RNA translation process, resulting in a crapload of random proteins. Nobody knows what the outcome of this might be, either.
Why anybody would be encouraging people to take these medical products - apparently produced under the sort of QA regime you’d expect only from a gutter-oil factory in the backwoods of China - is completely beyond me. The CDC should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to push this crap onto the population of Taiwan when they cannot possibly have any idea what it’s likely to do to people.
My ENT is a very old doctor who works by himself and hence not very popular, with an office just by the MRT’s alley. Lo and behold, tonight there was a line 20 deep outside, with a full waiting room inside. All coughs and sneezes and fevers.
If it is not COVID, then it’s the latest influenza virus. Hopefully it won’t get any colder or it will make sick folk even more miserable.
TBH, dunno. Well, he deals with colds and allergies and other stuff and has the special COVID meds. We also have 3 full multi specialty clinics down the block but if this crowd was here, I don’t dare to see the line over there.
I bet like one out of 4 or 5 cases there could be COVID. The tiredness, the drained of blood look, the balloon stuck without air cough are telltale signs in my book.
