How many people have died because these approvals for the Moderna and J&J booster shots were caught in bureaucracy for at least a month?
Yes, people who have declined vaccination are a risk to others. Yes, there should be requirements for vaccination. Yes, vaccination saves lives – not only of those who get the jab but of the people they don’t spread the virus to.
So why haven’t I been able to get my Moderna booster in the month since Pfizer boosters were approved? Why can’t I sign up for it now (I tried!), Why aren’t children over the age of five getting their shots? The President says vaccines save lives; he’s right. But inaction in the government he runs is killing people willing to be vaccinated by denying them the shots they need. Yes. Killing people. Vaccinations save lives; not getting fully vaccinated – whether by choice or because the government still forbids it, kills people. It’s really that simple.
Ever since the third dose of Pfizer was authorized for vulnerable populations, it’s been clear that Moderna and J&J boosters were going to be authorized “soon”. I’m vulnerable by age so will probably get my Moderna booster soon. But why have I had to wait? Not for new data. The data is in; the effectiveness of the original shots fade with time like many vaccinations. Israel and other countries have been giving 3rd shots for a while so we know that they do save lives and do not seem to have short-term negative effects. We’re not waiting for data; we’re waiting for bureaucracy. First the FDA staff recommends (no one really cares what they recommend); then the FDA consultants recommend (they were unanimous on Moderna and J&J boosters); then the FDA chief weighs in; then – all of that being done – the CDC has to go through their bureaucratic process. Today a CDC advisory panel recommended the booster and tonight the CDC director signed off (can’t complain about the time between those two steps).
The states have been planning for approval; good for them. But they couldn’t finish their planning without knowing what twists would be in CDC “recommendations”. Hopefully we’ll be able to sign up for shots tomorrow. I’ll be up early and trying. Meanwhile people have been dying and infecting others while they wait. If you don’t believe that, you don’t believe vaccines save lives.
Dr. Fauci said a couple of weeks ago that it’s now clear that people who got the J&J shot should really have gotten a booster after two months. Good for him being honest; there’s no shame in the fact that we’re learning as we go along. But, if we now know that they were under-vaccinated to begin with; how can it be possible that we still haven’t gotten around to authorizing their boosters? This is an emergency.
Similarly. It’s understandable that we didn’t initially rush to approve vaccines for children. They weren’t hard hit by the first wave of the pandemic, and they are not the same as adults. More studies were needed. Those studies have been done for a while now. It was predictable that the virus would mutate to attack vulnerable populations passed over the first time and uninoculated. It was predictable that children in school – and they do have to be in school – would be potent vectors for a third wave of infection. We all know that kids are going to be authorized in November. The data is in. What the hell are we waiting for; why are we going to let the virus have another Halloween surge?
This isn’t a partisan issue; it’s an issue of competence and resolve. If you believe that some of the unwilling should be required to be vaccinated in order to go to work, school, or use public transport, how can you not be outraged that the willing were not allowed to have the booster shots whose effectiveness has already been proven? We should have been demonstrating in the streets if we weren’t too afraid of COVID to go out in crowds. We should not be patient with bipartisan federal incompetence – death resulting.

I’m starting to feel sorry for this man. His writings appear more stressed and obsessed over perceived threats to his high standard of living. Say a prayer for Mr. Evslin, he’s really struggling to grasp the obvious and needs to be led to the light. God Speed Mr. Evslin.
Evslin’s commentaries are getting stale. Perhaps, the more urgent and demanding question is: How many people have died due to treatment investigation delay in the US. (read that as politics). There is now copious material available regarding treatments that were used in other countries successfully- As well as informed opinion as to why simple off-brand use of existing generic drugs is NOT considered in the US. Yet here we are, wrapped around the axle-by denial, enough hubris to fill an ocean, politics and bureaucracy with only a mRNA gene therapy treatment recognized by US Bureaucrats. Maybe, Merck’s Molnupiravir wonder pill for treatment will live up to the hype, (apparently it mimics Ivermectin “horse dewormer’) if it receives Emergency Use Authorization- from the same bunch of bureaucrats. Evslin is pining for a “booster” designed for SARS CoV-2, A variant. The prevalent strain in Vermont we are told is D. We are also told that the current ‘vaccine’ works, with less efficacy for the D variant, by a man that lied to the US Senate and continues to lie to every American. The ‘vaccine’s’ risk to 99.9997% of Americans under the age of 15 outweighs ANY benefit to them, yet Evslin “requires” they be ‘vaccinated’ to protect him. Sorry, Mr. Evslin- that’s not how it works in the United States…Yet. Perhaps Mr. Evslin could uncurl from the fetal position long enough to draft a legal brief regarding the delay to receive his ‘vaccine booster’, find a lawyer to file it and see what happens. It’ll give him something to do while he waits for that jab.
The commentary above is exactly what you would expect from someone who gets all of their information from Pharma-owned mainstream “news.” It’s the product of expert TV watching. Note the terror and the maniacal tone in the author’s voice, despite the fact that cases and deaths in the US–if not in vaccination leader Vermont–have been declining steadily for weeks. Breathtaking.
Where to begin?
“Yes, vaccination saves lives – not only of those who get the jab but of the people they don’t spread the virus to.”
Apparently Evslin didn’t get the memo that the vax no longer stops transmission, as admitted by the CDC director two months ago on national television: https://twitter.com/JamesMelville/status/1444563955746230272. And now he wants a boost with the same outdated vaccine that was developed for Alpha when we’re now dealing with Delta?
As for safety, Evslin clearly has never looked at the VAERS numbers, which are lighting up that database like a Christmas tree: https://openvaers.com/covid-data. Those numbers, which are orders of magnitude higher than any previous year on record, mean the current vaccines are the most dangerous in history.
As for the children, is Evslin aware that Sweden, which never locked down, never masked children, and has a lower vax percentage than the US, has effectively beaten the pandemic? Their numbers are among the best in the world right now: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/. Maybe we could learn something from their approach.
Putting all other data aside, the argument against more vaccination can be distilled down to this: More vaccination is supposed to mean less Covid, yet Covid has only increased the more we vaccinate. (And the least vaccinated countries have the least Covid.) Does 2 + 2 = 4 anymore?

Apparently Evslin didn’t get the memo that the vax no longer stops transmission, and hasn’t for awhile, as admitted by the CDC director two months ago on national television: https://twitter.com/JamesMelville/status/1444563955746230272. And now he wants a boost with the same outdated vaccine that was developed for Alpha when we’re now dealing with Delta? Will he eventually catch on that Big Pharma’s aim is to hook your immune system into a perpetual subscription service with endless “boosters”?

I have compassion and empathy for you Mr. Evslin.
It’s obvious you are not capable of critical thinking, reasoning and common sense. As the facts and reality of circumstances about the Experimental Gene Therapy Covid Shots unravel more and more every day, the numbers speak for themselves about the lack of effectiveness of the Covid Shots.
Unfortunately, Mr Evslin is like many others who are stuck believing the main stream/government approved narrative and indoctrination about ALL things Covid. It is very sad.
While Mr. Evslin and many others are still pushing the Covid Shots/Boosters even though it’s very obvious they have failed miserably, others are working to investigate important information such as the ingredients in the Covid Shots.
While the Nuremberg Code requires informed consent on experimental medical treatments such
as the Covid Shots, the drug companies have not made the Covid Shot ingredients available.
Dr. Robert Young and his team of scientists conducted research to identify Covid Shot ingredients.
Their research has confirmed that all four Experimental Covid Shots contain “graphene oxide” which is cytotoxic, genotoxic and magneticotoxic. There are other questionable ingredients. Read the full report at the link below.
Now, we are pushing these Shots on our children??? Where are all the Mandated Reporters that are supposed to stand up for the children?
The full report is at: https://rightsfreedoms.wordpress.com/2021/09/02/american-scientists-confirm-toxic-graphene-oxide-and-more-in-covid-injections/
The entire vaccine narrative collapses under one undeniable truth: Whereas more vaccination is supposed to mean less Covid, what we have instead is more vaccination and more Covid. The least vaccinated countries have the least Covid. And yet, many still tragically believe that going from an 89% vaccination rate to 90% or 95% is going to solve things. This is 2 + 2 = 5 thinking.
It is noteworthy that Vermont had not a single Covid death throughout September and October of 2020, despite no vaccine. Compare that with mortality over the last two months with over 80% vaccinated. Yet this is evidence “the vaccine saves lives.” I’m speechless.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/vermont/
Didn’t the Chronical just report earlier this week or last that 47% of the people that died were fully vaccinated? Makes me want to get stuck for the second time. (J&J was my choice of poison)
I try really hard NOT to read all the news about Covid-19. Clearly, even though there are large medical concerns for large groups of the population, it seems clear to me that it’s still political to the extreme. There us so much disinformation mixed in with the information that I grow more convinced it’s necessary to be skeptical about what we hear and read. The tone of many of the so-called health experts isn’t helping at all. Reading the article by Tom Evslin also didn’t make me any more confident of the way forward. Is as anyone in the world world on a conventional vaccine for Covid? It’s increasingly more uncomfortable that many are pushing for government mandates when it isn’t clear that our government (federal AND state) really know what they’re doing and can be trusted to do what’s truly best for the citizens. I would really like to just consult my doctor, listen to her recommendation and know that it comes out of concern for me as her patient, NOT from a government lackey who is pushing a political agenda.
Will you please explain what makes information “political” verses “factual?”
Doctor Fauci says “factual”. Now are you more confident?
I was specifically asking Patt Shutt (read comment) to explain how he/she defines the difference between “political” and “factual” information.
The point was, are we mandating more vaccinations because the data (FACTS) show that it’s the wisest course of action, or are the mandates just another way to control people(as in “get the latest shot or stay in your basement, because we say so. We’re the boss of you!”) Actual factual data has been pretty hard to glean from all the shrill screaming on all sides. That’s why I said I would prefer consulting my doctor. It’s because I believe my doctor has access to real information (as opposed to MSM), and my medical history. I believe my doctor will give me the straight scoop as it pertains to me. Do I have the same confidence in Dr. Fauci, or Mr Evslin, or Governor Scott, or President Biden? No, of course not, because they have a political agenda which might or might not be the best thing for me. You can disagree, and that’s fine with me, but I feel like politics is controlling way too much of this conversation, and politicians have done nothing to earn my trust.
Hello Pat,
Please think about what you are saying. Everyone, even your doctor has a “worldview” or specific belief system that determines the way they see things.
Just because someone is a politician or in the government political system, doesn’t always determine their view is “political.” Why do you think we have so many doctors that are on opposite sides with their opinions/recommendations on the Covid Shots?
While many pretend they can read the minds of others, no one can. Don’t try to agree/disagree with conspiracies. There’s a million of them! Do your own research on the Covid Shots and follow the facts. Listen to the proven, trusted people in your life for advice, but have the courage to make your own decisions.
Sometimes it helps to write it out on paper with two columns. The factual pros on one side and factual cons on the other to assess overall and make a decision. All the Best!
Perhaps, becoming better informed would help many to allay their fears. VDC has published many items detailing where more information can be read and obtained, without offering much in the way of opinion nor parroting government talking points. True North Reports has also published much of the same. Both news outlets have published Evslin’s opinions on Covid-19, which seem to rely on government disseminated ‘information’. Unfortunately, your doctor may be swayed by their employer’s instructions and opinions- as so many independent practices have closed, due to retirement and wholesale purchase by large health care conglomerates. At the end of the day, your health and health care is your decision, not to be needlessly influenced by those such as Mr. Evslin.
Mr. Evslin strongly feels otherwise.
The better question is, how many people have died as a result of these shots?
Actually how many have lived only because they did not take the poison shot?
Jeb, That information might exist, and I agree it would be very useful. Part of the problem from the beginning has been Covid was much more lethal to people with certain pre-existing condition, (at least that’s what was reported). So if you are elderly and in a nursing home with medical issues, adding Covid on top of it might be enough to overwhelm your system. For folks in that situation, getting the shot might be the best thing, but I still feel like that decision should come from a conversation between the patient & their doctor, not from a politician in Washington D.C. or Montpelier. The fact it spread do rapidly created a panic, which led to ‘government intervension’. Nobody in Washington or Montpelier is thinking about what specifically is the right medical course of action for me, but sadly it sometimes seems like there was pressure to do ‘something’s because PANDEMIC! So, to my point the information would be useful and helpful if the goal was to inform and guide individuals to the best course of action. Since it began in an election year and around the time of protests, and riots, how could we have a calm, orderly intelligent conversation about anything. There was too much screaming. Sorry for the long post.
The booster only has “emergency use authorization”
It doesn’t have approval. To say it is approved is blatant medical misinformation. Additionally, the ‘comirnaty’ shot from Pfizer that did receive approval is not available on market. The shots that are being administered are EUA and as such are legally distinct from the approved.
So if the manufacturers still aren’t liable,
Who will be?
