Just keep getting your boosters, you’re already a lunatic, they can’t hurt you any worse

Didn't Sweden avoid COVID infections much better than the rest of civilized countries around the world?
Sweden took the approach that I wish we had. They sheltered their older adults and other immune deficient people but continued to operate normally otherwise. They didn’t shut down their economy.

I don’t know why you think that the covid vaccine doesn’t offer at least partial protection from the virus
Gee I wonder why I might think that. Surely has nothing to do with all the people that got it and then got covid anyway, yourself included

Again, no vaccine can offer 100% protection. People’s immune systems are just too varied. However, getting a vaccine is better than not getting a vaccine because it will offer at least a modicum of protection and symptoms will be less severe.

There’s no accurate data to base any opinion on with the vaccine or covid deaths, which is the entire point

I agree. But we were afraid that the hospitals would get more overwhelmed than they did.
I remember before the release of the vaccine everyone was in agreement that the way out of the pandemic was to vaccinate.
But during that period most people caught COVID and based on pre-COVID virus orthodoxy the vaccine was not necessary due to natural immunity.
Then vaccine orthodoxy began to change.
The big change was the CDC definition of vaccine:
Pre-COVID: a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.
COVID definition: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.
The COVID definition of vaccine removed "produce immunity".
There were several other changes in medical orthodoxy due to COVID and the COVID vaccine and the reason was to sell the vaccine, i.e., $$$$$$$$.

HIGHLY debatable in the context of this vaccine

I agree that “big pharma” saw, and took, an opportunity to fleece the federal government as much as possible because of the pandemic. As I said earlier, the government opened the cash spigot and the biggest drinkers were the pharma companies.

Please offer your knowledge about why this particular vaccine (there were several, by the way) had zero efficacy against the coronavirus.

Sweden did a great job
They still experienced 18,500 excess deaths in 2020
That would be 620,000 excess deaths adjusted for US population. So in line with US excess deaths (Sweden actually had more…..). Hard to blame lockdowns for the excess deaths then right? Why not just accept the fact that yes the govt fricked up, but also yes Covid killed alot of people FROM COVID not just WITH

No doubt, what percentage of those people where already knocking on deaths door is the remaining question

Do you understand how excess total mortality deaths work? If it only killed those people excess deaths would have remained the same….
Excess deaths mean it killed more people that were expected to die

I suppose I should ask you what you mean by “in the context of this vaccine.”

We are still talking about COVID?

Yes, but you’re ignoring the context. These people were already compromised, but other treatments were prolonging their life. This novel virus came in and wiped those people out pretty quickly. Killed them, clearly. But that could be (and in my opinion is) why we saw only really one year of excess deaths. Because a small subset of the population was susceptible to the virus.
I think it had little to nothing to do with the introduction of the vaccine, especially factoring in the future years of data we now have. Could the vaccine possible saved some of the small subset? Certainly possible. But trying to mandate that vaccine for anyone, certainly anyone outside of that subset, was asinine then and criminal once we knew it wasn’t very effective, caused injuries, and wasn’t even dangerous.
