Its about how many Covid-induced deaths there have been in what ammount of time, and how crowded the hospitals and morgues were, and how many additional people suffered and died because they could not go to hospital with their issues, or had treatment delayed. Ordinary crime in NY has not bodybags being stockpiled to the ceiling in morgues day in, day out, has it.

Crime rate does not compare to it. Traffic accidents not. IN NO WAY. And there were so many cities around the globe like this.

On J&J, it simply is not as effective as the other vaccines, that simple it is. It gives a solid but inferior protection against Delta, and less so against Omicron, and in any case its protections wanes much faster than that of the mRNA vaccines. Thats why quick boostering with an mRNA is strongly recommended, and using J&J is discouraged and by authorities dismissed over here in Germany and other countries, france, iceland. Since this all is so, J&J has a very high rate - for standards of Covid 19 vaccines - of breakthrough infections. This is I think the main reason why it is not used a lot. High rate of breakthrough infections also was the reason why Iceland was the first to stop it completely, I think.

My parents got their second jab yesterday, earlier than planned. My father had a very heavy reaction and breakdown and this morning was taken to hospital. He has just been returned two hours ago. Mum said at the farewell there he started an argument with the doctor there about how bad vaccination "obviously" is. The doc was not impressed, said it is not the vaccine but the age-dependign status of his immune system, if he thinks he was bad off, then he could show im around on the COVID ICU station they have (its the Münster university hospital) , then he would see within seconds what being bad off really means and that the risks of a severe vaccination reaction is absolutely minor compared to the risk an old person faces when meeting Mr. Bug unvaccinated - THEN you are "bad off". I am tempted to go there and thank that doctor personally - since he radically confronted my father, my Dad is silent and calm like a happy lamb.

The German Paul Ehrlich institute tracked heavy reactions to vaccination as reported amongst elder people form beginning on. They said in spring for exampel that amognst the millions of jabs given, there were some 300 or 400 reports of reacitions amongst elder people (all mpopulation 1500 or so) and a few died - but only in two such cases there is doubt on that they died not from their age, but for the jab, becasue in that age group you must expect a higher natural mortality anyway. So what they say is they got reports on just two cases at that time that maybe - MAYBE - indicate that the vaccination causally led to the death of the patient. Beyond that, you need to expect less effectiveness and a higher rate of reactions to vaccinaiton the older the people are. You see that with EVERY vaccination against VERY desease.

For a short time I felt guilt today, of course, but no more. Mind soon took over from the heart, and that is good so. When Mr. Bug meets my father, my father has tremedously raised chances to survive that meeting now. Having one bad day is not too high a price for this dramatic gain, and my father is 77, had at least one - minor - stroke, probably already more before that just were not recognised, and until earlier this years was a diabetic and hypertonic.

My Mum got two free rides, no reactions whatever, she was better off than I were after my first two. She felt nothing!
