- AMERICAN THINKER - JULY 25, 2021 - Jeff M. Lewis -
I am neither a scientist nor a medical professional but, given a few scientific laws, I tend to believe I can understand their meaning and practical application. Over the course of my life, I have come to know that vaccines save lives and reduce the risk of deadly or life-altering infections. I have also learned that viruses mutate over time, and I am thankful that there are those in the medical and pharmacological professions who are conscientious about and vigilant against these threats.
I also tend to think philosophically about the routines and the challenges of daily living: A house built on solid rock will withstand the storms that will come; a house divided against itself cannot stand. Some will recognize the eternal truth in these proverbs as I have paraphrased quotes from the Gospels of the Holy Bible. The truth is always what we need (whether we want to hear it or not), and when spoken clearly and with the speaker manifestly having our best interests at heart, we will be more likely to accept it.
In this current age of “disinformation” and distrust, there is something important that people holding positions that serve both their communities and fellow citizens must remember: We Americans simply want to know the truth, and we want elected officials to tell us the truth and trust us to act in our own best interests.
That may be too much to ask, but I still have a few simple, honest questions. Is there anyone who has access to the information who would be willing to research and share? Are these even the right questions to ask?
- CDC data for July 18, 2021, shows just under 34 million Americans have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, with just under 607,000 deaths. Does that mean that roughly 33,393,000 Americans have antibody immunity?
- What is the number of Americans expected to have antibody immunity plus those who have been vaccinated? How close then, are we to “herd immunity?”
- Of the most recently reported cases, how many (or what percentage) are of the Delta variant?
- Of the most recently reported deaths, how many (or what percentage) are of the Delta variant? This is an important distinction, is it not? The Delta is proclaimed to be more infectious/easier to spread, but less severe and less deadly.
- How can we be sure the “uptick” in cases is the much-dreaded Delta variant? Do the current tests allow us to make that determination? If not, does the scientific evidence exist to show that the uptick can clearly be attributed to the Delta variant?
- If the Delta variant is less severe, and those who contract it will most likely recover (vaccinated or not), then will that not lead us more quickly to “herd immunity?”
These are not tin-foil hat conspiracy theory questions. Mere words, however, are inadequate to describe how frustrating it is when honest, well-meaning citizens who desire to act in good faith with their families, neighbors, communities, and our cherished America are told a managed narrative, not the objective truth. This is especially true because that daily narrative is crafted to incite fear in order to exert control.
