Same thing happening in Israel. Turns out a lot of elderly people didn't get vaccinated because they are so frail that the shot itself could potentially kill them. Comorbidities, so to speak. My 89 year old dad was close to catatonic when he got his shot, and he's quite healthy. We almost took him to the hospital based on his reaction to the shot.

When I came upon an article about how the Trump 2024 campaign is planning to issue offical "Trump Cards" to its supporters, I assumed it was satire.

After all, the source was a broadly left-leaning one, and those folks still love making fun of the former President.

But, no. I learned that he really is going to make another go of it, and it, in fact, issuing Trump Cards to people.

Donald, dude, fella... please stop spoon-feeding the libs.

DJT wrapped the media around his finger for four years, and just like Brokeback Mountain, they still can't quit him...

The CDC and White House officials didn't tell the public that because they were in overdrive trying to scare everyone into taking Big Pharma's experimental mRNA "vaccines" despite their rapidly waning protection.

After being questioned Thursday on the 99% number by a CNN reporter, Walensky said that "those data were data that were from analyses in several states from January through June and didn't reflect the data that we have now from the Delta variant."

In other words, to get the 99% number they not only cherry-picked data from what ever states they wanted but they included data from January when covid deaths were at their peak and less than 10 percent of Americans had even taken the vaccine. Additionally, they excluded the most recent data showing the vaccines' protection was waning!
CNN's Kaitlan Collins: Several of you and the President have repeatedly cited figures saying that 99 percent of those who die from COVID-19 are unvaccinated and 95 percent, around that, are hospital- -- who are hospitalized are unvaccinated. With the Delta variant, do you still stand by these numbers, and do you have government data to back them up?

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky: Yes, thank you for that question, Kaitlan.

So those data were data that were from analyses in several states from January through June and didn't reflect the data that we have now from the Delta variant. We are actively working to update those in the context of the Delta variant. I do want to reiterate, though, that based on the data we're seeing -- and we don't have fully updated numbers -- universally, as we look at our hospitalizations and as we look at our deaths, they are overwhelmingly unvaccinated people.

Remember when Alex Jones made up that crazy talk about abortion centers selling baby parts, and that their hearts were still beating when the body parts were being harvested? Wasn't it even crazier when it turned out to be true?
