The good news is that even if they vaccinate 80% of our kids, the 20% will still be more than enough to use as an unvaccinated cohort. That said, I expect that they'll figure out a way to blame the unvaccinated for any adverse side-effects.

really appreciate the amount of work in these articles, very informative. Also impressive with the footnotes. But. Unfortunately any link which goes against the mainstream narrative is usually flushed down the memory hole. I know it's extra work but archiving the links will save you frustration in a years time. You've put so much work into these posts, you don't want to revisit them in a year only to find the links are dead. Thanks again for the work you have done! I wish more people would put half as much effort -- they'd stop poisoning their children.

I'm sure you are aware even til today Jan 5th 2021 there's significant vaccine inequity. The wealthier countries can afford to buy them and poorer ones cannot.

They also have the health system to track such things more so than poorer countries.

There is significant more reporting of covid coming out of wealthier countries. Doesn't mean they have more "actual" cases.

You forgot what happened in India this summer when the delta variant wave hit them. Officially 400,000 or so deaths were recorded. Their math geeks tell a different story 3-5 million people died from the covid wave.

At that time India was largely unvaxxed and avoided the initial waves of covid quite well. Certain domestic Indian policies encourage the country to interact and unfortunately the increased amount of physical contact got around 4,000,000 people killed and even more side effects than if they got vaccinated.

Try comparing all those VAERS injury reports to those who caught covid. The incidence of all those injuries are much greater in frequency.

You'll find catching covid is much worse than getting a prick in your arm.

Darby, thank you SO much for this series of articles! Exquisitely written and cited, which is lovely---especially in this day and age when we are witnessing the effects of years of degradation in the quality of our education system! Just the basics of correct grammar and spelling make a piece so much easier and pleasurable to read. From your articles, as well as your comments, it is evident that you are passionate about what you do. Your students (and their parents) are very lucky to have you! Your citations also validate your work and make it much easier to share with sceptics and others who are being bullied by family and friends. Your hard work can serve as valuable implements in their toolboxes of knowledge.
