In the movie Moneyball, Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane queries his team of scouts when discussing a prospective player, “If he's a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good?” The scouts all have solid explanations, at least in their minds, of why a prospect might be a good hitter, from the sound of the crack of the bat when they hit the ball to the player’s good looks.

These explain why the player should be a good hitter, but what if the numbers, from batting average to on-base percentage, tell a different story? The question Billy poses is obvious in its simplicity, good hitters should hit good. And if they don’t, then perhaps they are not really good hitters.

What if we ask the same question about COVID vaccines, rephrased as “If the vaccines work, why aren’t they working?”

It's the unvaccinated's fault that the vaccinated's vaccines aren't working. 🤡🌏

We need to protect the protected by protecting the unprotected with what didn't protect the protected.

"But today, just having an opinion can be hazardous to one’s livelihood." Not just about vaccines, either.

I am personally going around and touching things with my unvaxxed fingers, spreading insta-death to all who follow.

...spreading insta-death to all who follow.

If you really wanted to spread death among the vaccinated, you'd get the jab yourself and be even more of a Typhoid Mary.

Hey , can we give Bird a white horse badge, like the First Horseman of the Apocalypse (Pestilence) rode?

you have misunderstood the word "working". deaths are up, blind obedience is up, un-vaxxed are demonized. looks like all is working according to plan.

Instead of transparency, we see this, “FDA wants 55 years to process FOIA request over vaccine data.” Is this, “part of the FDA’s commitment to transparency” as the FDA itself claims? This is the same FDA that took only 108 days to review Pfizer’s clinical trial data, deeming it safe and effective enough for FDA approval. But for the public, the FDA needs 20,000 days to “review” the same data

This is alarming. I don't see how anyone can trust the science when it isn't available for review.

Get the jab and be quiet, goy. Your political betters know what's right for you.

If by "work" you mean stop the spread of the disease, it's because that's not what they're supposed to do. And I'm not saying that as a conspiracy theorist, that's not their official purpose. Officially they're only supposed to reduce the severity of the symptoms.

Understood. Even using that as the metric, they're not working.

I heard more people have died after the vaccine than have died ever.

[–] 1 pt

I'm pretty sure that's not true yet. There are more people alive now than there have ever been at any one point in history, and they're all going to die within a century or so, so it will be true in some sense a few decades from now.

I do expect the "vaccines" to cause more problems than they solve though.

Usa excess deaths are 20% higher this year than last year. Why?

[–] 0 pt

Probably all the suicide actually.

That also means it's not a vaccine.

For the honest and original definition, yes.

They're safe and effective except when they're not.

the various vaccines are working. some are placebos; for the control group. they are supposed to kill and they are. so they are working. i got vaxxed in grade school and 'contracted' rhuematic fever. we had a neighbor boy vaxxed for polio became paralyzed from the waist down. these particular versions are 'gain of functioned'. and emg radiation is more prolific than ever; including cosmic radiation
