The politics of Covid-19 vaccines are just too much to ignore

The politics of vaccines are just too much to ignore.

Towards the end of March, I wrote that well over 20 European countries have halted the use of the Oxford/ AstraZeneca Covid vaccine and the lame reason given for halting the roll-out was that “small” numbers of people have developed “blood clots”.

But researchers have found the main reason for halting the vaccine is that after receiving the jab, many people keel over.

South Africa is the latest country to suspend the roll-out of Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine. The decision to suspend the roll-out “was taken following the Food and Drug Administration’s recommendation to temporarily pause the J&J vaccine programme in the USA”.

This is not true. People get sick and mostly die after receiving the vaccine and there is a heavy push back towards the vaccine in America. For example, a large percentage of front-line workers in hospitals and nursing homes have refused to take the Covid-19 vaccine and about 50% of front-line workers in California’s Riverside County have refused to take the vaccine.

“Anecdotally, an estimated 60% of Ohio nursing home employees have refused the vaccine already. A survey of 2 053 New York City firefighters found that more than half said they would refuse the Covid-19 vaccine when it became available to them.”

This is the reason why America had to suspend their roll-out.

To make matters worse, the Washington Post published a story titled “DMX Received Covid Vaccine Days Before Heart Attack – Family Says NO DRUGS!”. DMX’s family member told MTO News the rapper received the Covid vaccine about a week before he suffered a heart attack and it was not drugs that caused the heart attack. The family member went on to say that “DMX got the vaccine when they opened it up to people over 50. He got it so that he could go travel and perform, stuff like that”.

DMX’s death dealt a fatal blow to the Covid-19 roll-out in the US.
